There are times when your liver
needs tonic. Don't give purgatives
that grippe and weaken. DeWitt's
Little EARLY Risers expel all poison
from the system and act as tonic to the
liver. W. Scott, 531 Highland ave.,
Milton, Pa, says: 81 have carried De-
Wits Little EARLY Risers with me for
several years and would not be with
out them" Small and easy to take.
Purely vegetable. They never grippe
or distress.

OF Course It Pays.

In an editorial the Memphis Morn
ing News says that ut is estimated
that 5000, ,O00,O0 is spent in the
United States every year for adver-
tising. This includes newspapers,
billboards, street car signs, programs,
circulars and novelties of all kinds.
There are more than 20, 900 newspa-
pers and periodicals of various kinds
in the country, and each of them car
rieS more or less advertising. The
prices for newspaper space range from
81 an inch a year in the smallest
county weeklies to $50, 900 a column a
year in such papers as the Chicago
Tribune or the New York Herald.
The Ladies' Home Journal and other
monthlies with circulation well up
toward the million mark get in some
cases nearly 800 an inch an insertion
for their space.
1t is the liberal use of printers ink
that has made Yazoo City such a
trade center. Her merchants appre-
ciate the value of advertising as the
columns of the Herald testify.-Yazoo

A SIDELlGHT OF LIFE.

DO you see that little dark eyed
woman going into the post oflice?"
said the women of the world THAT
woman is the grandest heroine l ever
saw, knew or even read Of The Spar
tan boy who held the fox in his bosom
until it gnawed to his vtals can't
hold a candle to her. You see she's
been holding on to fox, tiguratively
speaking, for 20 years and she will go
to her grave without groan or MUIR
mur. When slip of girl she mar
ried young man who was wealthy
and of good family, but intellectually
a blockhead and morally a leper. 1t
didn't take her month to find that
he could never rise to a higher plane
Of life and she would not sink to his.
She must live her life alone as far as
he was concerned, but her nearest
relatives neoer heard her speak of him
except with the greatest respect. He
has squandered her money, given her
years of neglect and coarse abuse. and
drank until he has blotted out every
vestige of manhood, but his wife has
remained the same cheerful, faithful,
gentle lady through it all. AS her
children grew old enough to notice
their father degradation she taught
them to remain blind to his faults. As
far as the world could see, not one of
them could be induced to follow in his
footsteps. What that woman might
have been if she had married her
equal, could not say, but the strength
of wild and mastery Of self that has
enabled her to bear her living, life
long sorrow with smiling face and
silent tongue would have won fame
and fortune in any calling she might
have chosen. n.-Ex.

NEGRO DIVORCE PROBLEM.

The negro divorce question is now
engaging serious consideration of the
students of the race problem in Mis-
sisS;ppi, and thus far no solution of
its perplexities has been suggested.
The wholesale increase of immoral
ity among the members of the race
has caused corresponding increase of
divorces among that still very large
class of negroes who maintain sufl-
cient self-respect to observe the mar
fiage laws. y striking instance of
this alarming increase is shown in a
statement made by Chancellor Long
street. of Grenada, who has granted
during his two-year incumbency of
the chancellorship over nine hundred
divorces and turned down. over three
hundred petitions for divorce. OF
these |, 200 cases fully ninety-fve per
cent were negroes.
The habit of the male negro in Mis-
Slssippi to take unto himself a wife in
the spring when he needs help in
planting his cotton crop and abandon
ing her IN the fall when the picking
season is over accounts for large
percentage of the divorce petitions.
The record Of Chancellor Longstreet' S
court is very small as compared with
that of the chancery courts of the
Delta where the negro population is
an overwhelming majority.-Clarion
Ledger.

WOMAN.

whether sister, friend, sweetheart,
wife or mother, woman is the no.
blest work of God. If she be high
minded and pure-hearted she stands
near the sun. When from any cause,
she falls, the descent is so swift, the
distance so great, that restoration is
well nigh impossible. Everys man de-
serves to look upon his sister as a queen
of all the virtues his sweetheart as a
paragon Of purity, upon his wife as a
Spotless priestess Of love, and upon
his mother as an angel. They are
what he lives for, and for them he
would brave all dangers and gladly die.
They are the pride of his life, their
smiles illuminate his rugged, thorn
strewn path from the cradle to the
grave. Their kiss is the balm of Gil

ters affection, sustained by wife's
devotion and upheld by mother
deathless love, it is strange man
should fall by the wayside victim of
vice and lust. Knowing and loving
his own SO well, it is almost incredible
that he could lure to the hell of ruin
the sister, daughter, wife or mother of
other men. The fall of womanhood is
an awful commentary upon depravity
of man. Did all men but keep the gol
den rule, there would not be wrecked
home, a blasted life, a broken heart,
or a fallen woman in the wide world.

was as follows:

Milk Stories.

A Kansas school boy is credited with
saying that his father had a very re-
markable COW. He said that the COW
had particular fondness for apples,
and that on one occasion after she had
gotten into a neighbor's orchard and
ate all the apples she wanted, his
mother MIXED her, churned the milk,
and got three quarts of good apple
butter. On another occasion the COW
ate off the tail of an old rooster in the
stall with her and the next morning in
place of giving milk she gave gallon

ulDGE STEVENS TALKS STRAIGHT.
Criticises our People for Allowing Illegal
Retailing to Flourish.

Ouite a number Of the citizens of
Grenada were at the court house last
Saturday afternoon to hear Judge
Stevens pronounce the sentence upon
V. Grego, who had been convicted for
illegal retailing Of liquor. The trial
had been held a couple Of days previ-
Gus, but the Judge had seen fit not
to pronounce sentence until just be-
fore closing court. A great deal OF
curiosity had been manifested as to
what sort of a sentence would be pro-
nounced, as number of leading cit
jzens had importuned the Judge in
Grego's behalf on the ground that he
was not reputed to run blind
tiger" Because of the good reputa-
tion as to illegal retailing which was
proven for Gregg the Judge told him
he would divide the sentence, and
gave him sixty days in jail and $3.50.
fine. He said, however, that he
would in the future give the maximum
penalty, which is ninety days in Jail
and fine of s5O0.0O.
Just before prOnouncing the sem
tence the Judge made few re-
marks in reference to the blind IT,
ger" evil in Grenada. He was severe
in his excoriation and made a pro-
found impression on his hearers.
Among other things he said that the
condition Of things here was stencil
in the nostrils of decency and shame
and disgrace to the civilization which
the people professed to have. Affairs
were in very bad shape in Grenada,
if reports which reached his ears were
true, and he had no reason to doubt
them. That q handful Of men could
simply override the law in the face of
the people and before their eyes had
been surprise to him, and he did not
think the temper Of Grenada IS citizens
would allow such. He could not see
why they had stood it as long as they
had. These dens OF degradation and
vice were breeders Of anarchy, and
would ruin and corrupt any commun-
ity on earth, no matter how solid or
staunch it might be. The reputation
Of the town and county throughout
the state was anything but good, and
he was ashamed to have such a state
Of affairs existent in his district.
The Judge said further that he be-
lieved the present time very propitious
for { change to be made and the peo-
pie had but to grasp their opportuni-
ty. The grand jury had opened the
way and made a beginning. He
promised to do his part whenever he
had chance, and would give the
severest penalty in his power. He
only regretted that the penalty was
not heavier. 1t was evident to every
one present that Judge Stevens will
not hesitate to use his utmost endeav-
or in the effort to stop the violation
Of the law. At the close of his re-
marks he was warmly congratulated
by number of those who were pre-
mt.
