without a dissenting vote:

KIDNEY CURE.

There is no disease so insinuat-
ing, so slow but sure, as kidney dis
ease, or SO widespread. The symp-
toms are so slight as to generally
escape notice.
The first indications appear in
the urine, with varied effects. The
quantity may be increased or de-
creased; it is likely to be highly col
Ored and scalding; it may be pale
or thin, or thick and milky with a
sediment. Later on more pro-
nounced symptoms will be present,
such as dizziness, bloating, etc.,
with marked bladder and urinary
disorders. q

kidney diseases and in preventing same.
In purifying the DlOOQ the kidneys are
greatly relieved, while, at the same time,
new strength and vitality are given
these organs. The following letter tells
q very old story:

GENTLEMEN: I had a eve case of
typhoid fever six years ago, which left
my kidneys In bad order. I have tried

There are tho usands of just such

The Business Outlook.
try.

The prospect for business this
fall is good. Our merchants all
take this view of it and are max
ing arrangements accordingly.
The farmers all look at it in the
same way and are hopeful and
encouraged over their situation.
Crops Of all kinds are fine and
when this is the case there is hope
and cheerfulness and animation
in the farmers household. When
the farmer feels good he shows
it and the merchants accept the
CHEEKY mood of the farmer as
indicative of good times and
make their arrangements &C.
cordingly.
For the last two years the trade
of our city has not been what it
ought to be. Short crops was the
cause Of it. This condition does
not exist now and the trade will
be good. The merchants will
have the stocks an the people
will have the money. When this
is the case things hum Every
thing that the farmers bought
last year on time will be paid for.
The ledger accounts will be bal
anced once more and new starts
be taken.
We notice that all the business
houses Of the city r being put
in order for the reception of new
goods which are now beginning to
come in. The merchants have
purchased largely and stocks in
all lines will be better and more
complete this fall than ever be-
fore. The demand will certainly
he large and the merchant who
has bought s~paringly will soon
find that his stock needs replenish-
ing.
The movement of the cotton
crop has already begun aud will
soon reach large proportions. The
cotton is opening rapidly and
picking goes on satisfactorily.
Receipts are being had by rail
from all directions and the streets
show many wagons loaied with
the feecy staple. In a little while
these receipts will mount up IN.
to hundreds Of bales daily and
business be active aud heavy.
Prices are ranging r ound eight
cents for middling. This IS forty
dollars per bale which gives the
farmer a fair price for his product.
Our banks are in Fl ne shape and
have plenty Of means to move all
crops that may be marketed hare.
Their operations are widening
constantly and we may reasonably
expect business this season from
sources that we have not drawn
from before. The ~liberality OF
our banks is a great business
drawer and we may expect con-
siderable enlargement of the
volume of trade this fall. The
great compress will be in first
class order. Warehouse facili
ties will be greatly enlarged.
Every appurtenance Of business
will be better than ever before.
All that pertains t., the promo
ton Of business will be found
ready. Our business men in all
lines are wide awake and ready
for the work. SO come along,
friends, and you will find Tupelo
the proper place.

A Good Move

The Board of Supervisors Of
Lee county last July entered into
an agreement with the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad under which that
road was to deliver one hundred
and sixty car loads Of T~lshemingo
gravel, in lots, at the several sta
tons along its line in this county.
The price was fixed and the num-
Der of car loads for each station
agreed upon. 1t vas agreed that
this delivery should be made with
out delay. The road began the
work promptly and it looked for
a time like it would 60 ahead and
execute it's agreement satisfactory
". But from some cause. un-
known to the board, it abruptly
ceased to bring the gravel and up
to this time, has glyen no intima-
ton as to when it will again begin
the work.
This movement of the board Of
supervisors was wise and timely.
They have experimental sufficient
ly with this gravel upon the coun-
try roads, to know its value as a
road material and to determine
the p%racticability of using it in
large quantities. Wherever it has
been used it has been found to
answer it's purpose we'll. 1t has
no equal as a material for building
and hardening the ordinary coun-
try road. In several of IL bot
toms where at times the roads had
hitherto been impossible it has
been tried and found to fill the
necessary requirements exactly.
When applied to the depth of
three or four inches it does not
work it's way into the mud, but
seems to run together and form a
concrete covering that bears the
weight of heavy wagons without
being broken. In all tests that
have been made with it 1t has proven
to be the best, cheapest and alto.
gether the most satisfactory ma
terial that can be obtained to
make our roads good and substan-
tial highways. Good roads are
a desideratum in every locality
and when their advantages are un-
derstood the people everywhere
will want them and will have them.
They save the country more than
they cost. They promote social
life, help the churches and schools
aud in every way help to build up
the country. Our honorable board
of supervisors, which is composed
of gentlemen of judgement and
integrity, fully understands the
benefits to be derived from good
roads and deserves all commenda-
ton for it's efforts to provide
them for the county. The ex-
pense of building them may seem
heavy at the outset, but it is soon
found that the saving which they
bring is far greater than their
cost.
W. could write a great deal on
this subject but will not do so
now. WI trust II friends, the
board of Supervisors, will push
this matter and demand of the
railroad the fullflment of its
agreement in time to apply the
gravel to many bad places IN the
road in time to put them in good
order this fall.

The State Entomologyst has {

The State Entomologyst has de-
clared that the cotton crop OF
Texas will be very short this
season. The Mexican boil weevIl
is at work upon it and the plant is
rapidly giving way under It's dep
relations. This insect is a new
enemy to the cotton plant and
puts the boil worm and caterpil:er
to shame. 1t works upon the
newly formed square aud the
young bolls which it %punctures,
causing them to fall off. 1t APP

up the crop in that month. We

certainly spread all over the cot
ton region. 1t will give US an
additional reason for making
abundant food crops.

six we're injured, many OF them
