The Best Remedy For Group.
[From Atchison. Kan, Daily Globe.1

(From Atchison. Kan. Daily Globe.1
This is the season when the
woman who knows the best RENE
dies for Group is in demand in
every neighborhood. One of the
most terrible things in the world
is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by a whoop from
one of the children. The Group
remedies are almost snre to be
lost, in case of Group, as a revol-
yer is sure to be lost in case of
burglars. There used to be an
old-fashioned remedy for Group
known as hive syrup and tolu,
but some modern mothers say
that Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy is better, and does not cost so
much. 1t causes the patient to
"throw up the phlegm" quicker,
and gives relief IN shorter time.
Give this remedy as soon lis the
croupy cough appears and it will
prevent the attack. Itnever fails
and is pleasant and safe to tlke.

Hoodlums Arrested and Released.

Holly Springs, Miss, Nov. 3.
Three white men from New
Albany, Miss, created a small
furore on the train which arrived
from Memphis last night at $40.
Each one had a quart of whisky
and they amused themselves by
shooting out the windows.
Sheriff McWilliayns was tele-
graphed and met the train at the

no one on the train would make
affidavit against them, he was

ductor could not leave his train

SUBJECT TO LICENSE
Department Store Agents Can be made

The ruling of Auditor Cole, that
the agents of the department
stores of the larger cities who
travel through the state soliciting
retail orders are liable to the state
privilege tax of fifty dollars, was
eminently wise and proper, and
should be enforced in every in
stance, These same agents are
liable to a county tax OF twenty
five dollars, and this likewise
should be levied and collected.
These agents interfere greatly
with the legitimate business OF
the merchants of the state, who
not only pay the state and county
taxes, but contribute in every
way toward the advancement and
upbuilding of the communities
in which they reside and do bus

They come into our midst with

alluring price lists far below the
actual cost of good goods, under
