PNEUMONIA CAN BE PREVENTED.

This disease always results from a
cold or an attack of the grip and may
be prevented by the timely use of
Chamberlain's Congh Remedy. That
remedy was extensively used during
the epidemics of La Grippe of the past
few years, and not single case has
ever been reported that did not recov-
er Or that resulted in pneumonia,
which shows it to be a certain pre-
ventive of that dangerous disease.
Chamberlain Cough Remedy has gain
ed worldwide reputation for its

Our topic IS sell Mastery, lem
perance, Cor. 9: %. l will also reaC
from Cor. 10, 31-33.
1t was Robert Louis Stephenson who
coined happy phrase about living or
good terms with ones self. You can
not do that unless you have the body
and spirit, too, under control. No
man is master of himself if he cannot
control his muscles and temper. Eter-
nal vigilance is the price of care and
it is only by keeping up the fight all
the time that one can hope to control
his temper and appetite. 1t is not an
easy matter to overcome some bad
habit, but the desire for strong drink
is the very worst habit man can have
and the most difficult to overcome.
When this habit gets thoroughly seat
eel there are few who ever overcome it.
AS in all important questions good
men differ as to the best method of
overcoming the evil or promoting the
cause of temperance. Some believe
the sale of liquor should be absolutely
prohibited and that it is crime to
license it's sale. Usually these men
are radical in their belief. Others be-
lieve the evil is best combatted by
local option laws with severe restric-
tions as in Massachusetts, and that
each community should decide the
question for itself
The success of local option is shown
in Mo tc no nft
constitutional prohibition 23S of it's
800 towns and ID of it's 35 cities have
come voluntarily under local prohibit
tiOn, while increasing restrictions
have been placed on the sale Of liquor
in those towns and cities which still
vote for license. This is certainly
great gain for the cause of temperance.
The moral sense of the community
must be educated to the point of en-
forcing the laws that do exist before
enacting new statutes to prevent the
evil. Unless this is done we cannot
expect the evil to be abated. You
cannot make people sober by law if
prohibition laws are in operation I'M
less enforced.
Bringing the lesson right home we
haye good Illustration of the lack of
moral sense in this respect in our own
The violations of the law
are so frequent and the practice Of such
long standing that we have become
accustomed to the situation of affairs.
l want to read d few figures taken
from the selectmen's annual reports
showing the cost of paupers to this
town for the last six years: 1897,
s46e7.47; 1898, $4949.2O; 1899, 1892. 90;
1900, $4752.29; 1901, $3.50. 43; 1902,
iS76.54; ii total of S29,678.sS, and an
average per year of s49414 S. This is
startling for a community
whose population in 1900 was only
1916. Here is a direct annual charge
to the taxpayer three-quarters of
which is due to drink. Is it not time
for moral uprising in the community?
There is certainly food for reflection
in these figures FIR every member of
this society, young and old. 1t is a
great object lesson in temperance and
let US all heed it.

HOW'TO CURE THE GRIP.

Remain quietly at home and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as direc-
ed and quick recovery is sure to fol-
low. That remedy cOunteracts any
tendency of the grip to result in pneu-
monia, which is really the only danger.
Among the tens of thosands who have
used it for the grip not one case has
even reported that did not recover.

Probably nine-tenths of all human
sickness is due to constipation. When
the bowels are constipated the natural
drainage tract in the human system
is damned up, decomposition ensues
and poisonous gases and liquids are
carried all through the system. The
result is liability to almost any all
ment that human beings are heir to.

Any druggist who looks more to the
health and welfare of his friends and
customers than to the increase of his
prescription trade, will recommend
Ramon's Liver Pills and Tonic Pellets
for attacks of constipation and bilious

drugs and much cheaper than pre-
scription bills. G.. G. Mcclure & Son,
the leading druggists OF Gallup, KY,

popular and satisfactory medicine we

Death of Mr., Clark.

MIR. w. d. Clark, who had been suf-

weeks died at his home at Sardis last
Saturday evening at o'clsck, Mr..
Clark was the eldest son of Mr.. " r..
Clark. While his sufferings were great
yet when the end came he pass d peace
fully away. He was 90 years of age, \
member of Sardis Methodist church and
was buried at Sardis Sunday evening,
Rev. l.. l.. Wagnon conducting the
burial service. He left behind him the
sweet assurance that he was prepared TO
enter that rest remaining for the people
OF God. "A large concourse of sympathetic
friends were out TO pay their last sad
tribute to his memory. Truly in the
midst of life we are in death. What a
solemn warning to our young men. We
trust this sad and mysterious despensa-
tion of divine providence may work out
for this bereaved family the salvation of
each of their souls. We deeply sympa-
thjze with the heart broken parents aud
children in this dark hour and commend
them to God for comfort who alone can
pour in the balm of Gilead and comfort
them as no other can. Blessed are the

DOTS FROM GRINDALL.
Why Was There No Court?

Kind Editor r:-"Ignorance of law
excuses no man." this is O saying
that is well said, for now you can see
blue smoke curling from house
here and there while on the inside
sits maybe competent teacher and
small number of children who are
struggling for a higher level, while
at home in the highways may be
seen numbers of children who ought
to be in school room. Any one
from 5 to 80 years Of age has no right
to be without a common school edu-
cation. l have heard young men Of
20 say they had no chance to 90 to
school. That saying glitters but l
don't think it's gold. Some people
are like silver pin, fair without but
foul within, this is why the Jail and
chain gang is still supported, it is
not the old that keeps up these places
it Is the young. AS the State Board
of Education has adopted series OF
new books why should they not be
used in full. A few teachers are still
holding to the old ones. Were the
Commissioner to visit each school and
where he found the old books cut that
teachers salary 10 per. cent, it would
more readily enforce the new ones.
Ample time has been given for COM
plete change.

ID. P. F.
We have already explained that
the reason there was no court in
Union. The jury law was declared un-
constitutional by Judge Gary some
time ago, the matter was taken to
the Supreme Court, which court sus-
tanned Judge Gary, the trouble was
that the method of drawing the Jury
was not the same in all the connties
therefore unconstitutional. Con-
sequently we had no jury legally
T, drawn, and no jury case could be
tried without legal jury.-ED.l

home of his father short time ago.
They left just one week before his Idy
was returned IN his coffin. 1t seems a
special dispensation of providence that
he was allowed to return to his home
once more and enjoy the sweet pleasures
of his old home and freside, and meet
his many friends in Union before the
terrible accident came that cut him
down in the very bloom of vigorous
manhood. He, last Sunday, week oc-
cupied seat in the Baptist church with
his parents and Joined heartily in the
Songs of praise and was an attentive
listener to the words that fell from the
lips of his pastor. Several years ago he
was baptised in this same church and the
bereaved family have the assurance that
their temporary loss is his eternal gain.
Among those present at the funeral
services of Mr.. j. Aubrey Rice last
Wednesday were his father-in-law Mr..
7. M. Sanders and two sons. j. X. and
w. NJ, and his two daughters, Mrs.

Rice was killed. the workers were en-.

fire as he did not want to be burned up.

head of any one present.
