HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid h.
 crease of Heart Trouble.

Heart trouble, at least among the Americans, Is certainly increasing, and while this may be largely due to the ex- citement and worry of American business life, 1t is more often the result of weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
 Real organic disease is incurable; but not one case in a hundred of heart trou- ble Is organic.
 The close relation between heart trou- ble and poor digestion Is because both organs are controlled bysthe same great nerves. the Sympathetic and Pneumo- gastric
 Tn another way, also the heart is af- fected by the form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food. There Is feeling of oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stom- ach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their action; hence arises palpita- ton and short breath.
 Poor digestion also poisons the blood, making it thin and watery, which irri- tat6s and weaRens the heart.
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouble Is to improve the digestion and to insure the prompt assimilation of food. This can be done by the regular use after meals of some safe, pleasant and effective digestive preparation, like Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores, and which contain valuable, harmless digestive sle- mefIts In a pleasant, convenient form.
 It Is safe to say that the regular per- sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stom- ach trouble except cancer of the stom- ach.

His train was standing at the depot preparatory to leaving for Nashville and he had just come from the telegraph office, where be had received his orders. In crossing the track an engine was backing down the track from the north unobserved by the engineer, when 1t backed over him, cutting off one leg and mashtng the other so badly that amputation will be necessary. He was otherwise bruised about the body and several large gashes cut in his head, besides his skull being factured. His recov- cry is uncertain. His home is in Nash vile, where he has wife and chil- dren His wife came down from Nash vile on a special train today.
 William Nichols, who attempted to assault Mrs. Mary Reynolds last Sun day night, is still in jail here on fail ure to make bond in the sum of $750. At preliminary trial today he waived

 compelled to lie in jail until the con-
 vening of the grand jury at the spring term of court The feeling against Nichols is strong, but no danger is ap- prehended by the officers in charge.

 The Tennessee Legislature has taken up the dog question in deference to farm CTS and sheep raisers, and will legislate stray canines out of existence by the strychnine or gun route. Lauderdale County has practically been out of the sheep business for years on account of being overrun by lot of mangy canines. It has cost the county thousands of dol lars each year in mutton and wool, and yet the people have supinely submitted to the iniquitious reign of lawless canines.

WHAT WE NEED.

The need OF water WORKS ana
electric lights have been felt 10
St. Martinville for long time,
and our citizens have several times
inquired into these matters with
a view of submitting them to the
tax payers, but the matter of fuel,
was always the question first con-
sidered, and after having ascer-
tanned how coal, was expensive,
and other fuel, comparatively as
expensive. it was always decided
that the town with its limited re-
venues, could not afford the ex-
pense.
But now that our assessment
has increased fifty per cent, assu-
ring to the town increased reve-
nues, and the fact that oil as fuel,
reduces the fuel bill to nearly if-
ty per cent.we believe we can safely
commence to look into and inves.
tigate the matter, as we believe
St. Martinville is fully able tc
equip and sustain a water and
electric light system.
We believe if we want to keeI
up with the progressive towns, W.
have to follow with progressive
and necessary improvements.
There is not a town of the siz'
and importance of ST. Martinvill'
in the State that has not telephone
exchange, water works, electric
light and many other improve
ments in shape of sidewalks, pa
we'd streets, etc. There is no rea
son why we should not have then
too.
We also need in st. Martinville
q sash and door plant, and gene
raj woodworking establishment
an ice plant and rice mill, AM
we are satisfied that all these i'm
provements and industries coul,
be made to materialize if our PEG
pie would seriously take thes
matters in hand and push them il
q business manner.
