A REMARKABLE RECORD.

ChambcTlain's Cough Remedy has a remarka ble record. It has been in use for over thirty years, during which time many million bottles have been sold and used. It has long been the standard and main reliance in the treatment of croup in thousands of homes, yet during all this time no case has ever been reported to the manu- tacturers in which it failed to effect a cure. When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse or even as soon as the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is pleasant to take. many children like it. It con- tains no opium or other harmful sub stance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by Elvey & Hulett. druggists.

Row Of Corn rs Miles Long.

Kansas is simply inexhaustible in
the matter of oddities. Just when
it might be supposed that she had
run the whole gamut, she appears
with another novelty such as nobody
else in all the wide world would
ever have thought of.
For example, Kingman county
farmer is growing row of corn a
little more that 25 miles long for no
other reason than to be singular and
extraordinary. He commenced in
a tifty-acre field and went round and
round in circle with lister until
he had planted the whole in a single
row which commences at one of the
edges and terminates in the middle.
When he cultivated it, of course he
had to plough the same way. AS
appearances 60 the field will make
as much crop as it would if planted
in the ordinary way.-Kansas City
Journal.

This is from the Charlotte Obser.
yer, one of whose owners, Mr.. D
A. Tompkins, is a cotton mill builder
and manufacturer and distin-
guished spokesman for Southern
textile interests /: "The question OF
the employment of young children
in cotton factories is just at this time
for some reason or other, the subject
of more than usual discussion, and
the demand that something be
done about it is one that must be
listened to. There is much false.
hood, exaggeration and error among
the statements of the would-be re-
formers, but there is basis of truth
for their arguments and it is the
part of wisdom to separate the false
from the true in order to get in the
way OF doing equity in the matter
The ways of civilization, like those
of Divine Providence, are inscruta.

creates a world sentiment resistance
is useless"

The Hops OF the South.

The hope of the South is not in
the coming lawyer, doctor or
preacher or politician, but in the
boy who is not afraid of work and
who will pull off his coat, pull up his
sleaves and pitch in to accomplish
the task before him. The farm
manager and owner of the future
requires brains in the management
of the plow as well as the profes-
sional or business man in the COM
mercial world or in the welding of
the pen.
The agricultural and textile
schools should turn out those boys
whose aim in life should be to make
the worn out lands to re-bloom with
bountiful harvests, increase the pro-
duction of her fertile valleys, start
the fly wheel of manufactures to
revolving all over the State-put
the whole State on a march of pro-
gress and development.
Do this, boys, and the fields, the
cities and the enterprises will be as
monuments to your life, erected by
your hands, for future generations
to honor.-Greenville Mountaineer

And save your he alth.

The following from the Washing
ton Evening Star puts in a nutshell
the whole Cuban situation: "We
have left the island in very embar-
RAISING situation. The people must
have profitable market for their
crops, and that market proper is the
United States. The Cubans want
to trade with us, and we want their
trade. But they must trade some
where, and of course if not with us
then with our competitors across the
Atlantic. And yet, as we all know,
overtures from Cuba to Europe or
from Europe to Cuba, looking to
such an end would cause a very un-
favorable impression in this country.
Our present rule, then, is that of
dog in the manger. We refuse to
help Cuba, and would refuse to per-
NIT Cuba to help herself. We are
standing between her and the pros
perity which rightfully belongs to
her. And, what aggravates our
offense, we have not the excuse. of
an enlightened selfshness. We are
at the same time injuring ourselves" :"

Jerusalem Past and Present.

Jerusalem is literally "builded
upon its own heap" Below the
houses, courts and paved streets of
the present unkempt city are the
distinguishable remains of eight older
oitizens--those of Solomon, Nehe-
miah, Herod, Hadrian, Constantine,
Omar, Godfrey, Saladin, Suleman-
writes Walter Williams from the
Holy City to his paper in Columbia,
Mo.
Jerusalem has been besieged
twenty-seven times, record of
vicissitudes unparalleled in the his
tory of the worlds cities. 1t has
been burned, sacked, razed to the
ground, its inhabitants of every faith
put to the sword, all the woes uttered
by its own prophets against it have
come to pass, yet Jerusalem still re-
sembles great fortress of the mid
die ages. Seen from the mount of
Olives, its massive gray walls, its
flat rooted houses, its mosques and
churches with their conspicuous tow
ers and minarets, present marvel
GUS picture, beautiful, sublime, un-
fading, from the picture gallery of
the mind.
The CITY itself has narrow, dirty
streets. The water supply for its
10000 people comes in a four-inch
pipe. The open courts are few and
small, and the houses are punched
together with no regard for room or
cleanliness. Some houses are under
ground and others on top of the high
inclosing walls. The people are
fanatical, ignorant, selfish. There is
much to detract from the ideal city,
but despite all this and more, Jeru-
salem, from the Mount Of Olives, is
the same in it's essential details, the
same in the framework of it's setting,
the same in fascinating suggestion,
as the Jerusalem of which David
sang and over which Jesus wept.

"Then you are blamed old high

The landlord had three sons, and
when they began to mix in 1 turned
on 'em and gave 'em some red-hot
talk. When l stopped for breath
the old man, who turned out to be
a justice of the peace, sat down in
his chair and calmly announced:
"Hear ye! Hear ye! I now de-
clare this court duly opened. James,

who announced to me that he was

third brother hadn't taken any part,

Ho Is Ms Own Grandfather.

81 know of at least one curious
case of curious intermarriage, where
a young man became his own grand
father" said man who is fond OF
the novel in life, eand it is rather a
simple thing when you come to think
of it. Father and son were living
together in remote section of Ar
kansas. The old man was wild
over. Not far from where they
lived was widow and her daughter.
The old man wooed and won the
daughter, and finally married her.
In the meantime the son had been
making soft speeches to the widow,
and they were married about the
same time.
The young man thus became the
father-in-law of his own father, and
yet his fathers wife was his STEP
mother, but as he was his fathers
son, his wife became the stepdaugh-
ter of her own child. In course of
time the children of the old man and
the daughters of the son and widow
were brothers and sisters, by mar
riage, of the children thus born to
the old man and the daughter. The
fathers wife was the mother-in- law
of her own mother, and her children,
being the brothers and sisters of her
husbands son who was also her
mothers husband, not only made his
wife his grandmother, but placed
him in the position of being his own
grandfather.
ellis father, becoming his son-in-
law, his fathers children, who were
his brothers and sisters, became also
his grandchildren, because they were
the children of his wife's daughter.
The children of the two marriages
became doubly step brothers and
sisters, and uncles and aunts and
nephews and nieces of each other.
| never undertook to figure the thing
out any further than this, and to tell
the truth get mixed up every time
| think about the matter, and I am
but certain about one thing, and that
is that the son became his own
grandfather in due course of time"
