It Is natural to be we'll; it Is unnatural to be sick; indeed the hu- man system in normal condition is i'm direct exposure. It Is only when the laws of nature have been violated, lowering the vitality, developing a weak spot, fore ing some of the organs to lag behind or causing impure blood that disease ven- lures forth to attack; it Is only then it can gain a foothold.
 If you would be an 'immune' never al- low yourself to run down." It is then disease will attack you: all the most dangerous diseases of the world are caught when people are run down. Take Dr. Harters Iron Tonic upon the least sign of weakness and for any un- natural pain or ache.

ROUGH HOUSE.
HoodIums on an Excursion Create a Disturbance.


 Meridian, Miss, June 13-(SpeciaL) )-The return trip of the Knights of Pythias and their friends from Buckatunna last night was marked by a rough-house experience on the train. After the train had pulled out of Buckatunna on the run home a crowd of toughs were caught by negro vendor of sandwiches taking 'sinkers'' and other delightful edibles from his waiter. He reported the occurrence to MT. George Alden, his employer in the re- freshment car, and that gentleman went back to protest. The crowd started to make it exceedingly rough for him, and did succeed in beating the negro waiter .shamefully before others could interfere
 The ladies in the car were very much frightened, and several gentlemen went forward to protest at the way the young hoodlums were treating the negro. Mana ger Lindiqust, who is one of the local of- ficials of the railroad, took a hand. His right shot out and one of the toughs went into a corner. Two of the hoodlum's friends made break for the gentleman. and Conductor Pulliam let fly with his left and down went another. Luther Keeton of Shubuta came up like center rush and sent the third man across two seats and into the lap of big fat bald headed man.
 The whole car was in an uproar by this time, and B. McDade, city tax collector played a tattoo across the face of another member of the tough gang. One lady tainted and several others were scream ing When it appeared that the hood lums could not be suppressed except by killing or throwing them bodily from the train Conductor Pulliam drew his gun and told them that the very next one to strike a blow would get a bullet square between the eyes. That stopped the fight
 The picnic was a delightful affair. and barring this disgraceful conduct of the toughs would have ended as all excur- sions given by the Knights of Pythias

 But that is a mere incident in the great trouble he went to in this confidence game. Thompson reached Meridian last Friday and at once sought interviews with prominent business men, asking them If they thought a tobacco factory would pay in Meridian. He claimed to have large interests in Cincinnati, which, he said, was his home. and put up such a smooth talk that the citizens thought he would build factory here. He rent ed the second floor on Front street over the wholesale house of Josh F. Moore, and said he would start business at once, contemplating building at a later date.
 Desiring to move his family south, he rented a pretty cottage home on TWen- ty-first avenue and said that he would furnish 1t outright with new goods, nor desiring to bring his household effects such a long distance
 He next went to the furniture store Of ]. l.. Handley and Company and pur- chased a small bill to about $40, and gave large check, payable to himself and properly endorsed on Cincinnati house. The firm members were familiar with the booming of Thompson and his cigar fac tory and readily agreed to pay him the difference small matter of twelve or fifteen dollars MT. Thompson had left town at about the same time the furn- iture was delivered to the residence. To- day the check came back from Cincinnati marked mo good'.
 Ita Ia rather old. with clean shaven face and slightly gray hair. He Is not expected to return and Meridian IS mourning her tobacco factory.
