The Sword DESCRIBED.

In the British army the sword has
been discarded, so far as its useful
ness is concerned in modern warfare.
A half century ago it was considered
the best weapon, but the rifle has now
taken it's place. At the present time
thousands of people are discarding
their old methods of trying to cure
stomach and bowel complaints. and
are using the old reliable Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. 1t has never been
known to fail in cases of indigestion,
dyspepsia. constipation, biliousness.
liver and kidney troubles, or malaria,
fever and ague, and a trial is therefore
recommended. 1t has been before the
public for fifty years, and by it's rec
ord of cures during that time has firm
ly established it's superiority over all
other remedies. Try a bottle and sat
isfy yourself.

PROSPERITY IN MISSISSIPPI.
No Southern State Has Advanced
More Rapidly.

The Memphis Morning News of
Wednesday discussed the prosperi-
ty of Mississippi editorially as fol-
lows:
mo state of the south has ad-
vanced more rapidly during the last
three or four years than Mississippi.
Nothing better tells the cheerful
story than the increase in her tax
values as thus presented by the
Manufacturers Record, of Balti-
more:
Largely increased appropriations
for public schools and colleges, ex-
penditures for number of educa-
tIonal and eleemosynary Institutes,
Investments of millions of dollars
by Individuals and corporations in
cotton mills, oil mills, saw mills,
planning mills and factories of differ
ent kinds, in railroads and in real
estate are mentioned by the cor
respondent of the New Orleans
Picayune as evidence of the pros
perity of Mississippi, shown also in
an increase in assessed values of
property of between $4,000 900 and
$l5,0O0O00. The most superficial
study of affairs in Mississippi during
the past three or four years will
reveal the reason for this prosperity
in the broad-minded policy of
the state administration, backed
up by liberality on the part
of the Legislature. Mississippi au-
thorities recognize the value of the
great natural resources of their state,
and are doing their best to hasten
the development upon the lines OF
practical benefits to all the people"
Let 1t be borne i'm mind that all of
tins progress is taking place under
white mans government; under
government that certain misguided
negrophIles of the north inveigh
against most bitterly; under a gov
ernment similar to that of other
southern states, which they are seek
ing now to overthrow in the supreme
court of the United States. If these
blindly partisan meddlers would
see the result in case their demands
were carried out, they have but to
recall the scene of desolatIOn pre-
sented by Mississippi during the
reconstruction days and contrast it
with the present era of prosperity.
We rest in perfect assurance, how
ever, that there will be no repetition
Of the dark picture.
Memphis rejoices with Mississippi
in special degree, for Mississippi
belongs to Memphis, or Memphis
belongs to Mississippi, as the case
may be, and that depends on
whether it is a Tennesseean or Mis-
sissippian that makes the statement.
However the decision may be, the
prosperity of Memphis, indeed, q
very large part of the extraordinary
prosperity enjoyed by this city at
the present time, is due to the flush
times i'm Mississippi.
