Madison's Special Session.

Jackson, Tenn, Jan. % Chair
man Long has called the Madison
County Court TO meet i'll special ses-
sion next Monday.
One of the reasons for the call is
10 take s.me action with regard to
investigating the spread of smallpox
in this county and to order general
vaccination.
Another matter to be considered,
and one over which the people are
becoming stirred up, is the recent
discovery of the disappearance of
warrants from the county warrant
book, and their subsequent payment
by the county Trustee on alleged
forged endorsements. The people
insist that the matter be investigat-
ed, the guilty punished and the in
nocent cleared. There have been
charges and counter charges made
with reference to county affairs in
Madison county for some time, and
it Is intended to get the matter
Strengthened out and the whole at
fair ventilated, that the people may
know the facts.

A Good Recommendation.

81 have noticed that the sale on
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets is almost invariably to those
who have once used them," says
Mr.. j. II. Weber, prominent
druggist of Cascade, Iowa. What
better recommendation could any
medicine have than for people to
call for it when again in need of
such a remedy? Try them when
you feel dull after eating, when you
have a bad taste in your mouth, feel
bilious. have no appetite or when
troubled with constipation, and you
are certain to be delighted with the
prompt relief which they afford.

ADMIRAL SCHLEY visited
Chicago last week and re-
ceived a great ovation. Al

handsome young women with

speech. II could not speak
fifteen words consecutively

it were another sort of fire I

A little kissing bee followed
these remarks. 1t was started
when the admiral kissed the
6-year-old son of Postmaster
Coyne. When he straighten-
ed up Mrs. Arthur NJ. Cham

of the correspondents who
was with Schley's fleet at San

his neck and held her lips up-j
to his and was promptly
kissed. Then Mrs. r. w.

former flag secretary, stepped
up and said he might as we'll

WE learn that several of
our citizens expect to make
an experiment this year in
raising tomatoes for ship.
ment, and will devote a num-
Der of acres to that purpose.
This industry in other neigh
boring towns has proven
profitable, and there is no
reason why it should not be
a success here. Of course,
it requires experience to get
the best results. From in
formation derived from reli-
able men engaged in tomato
culture, we are informed
that all acre of well cultivat-
ed tomatoes nets all the way
from $50 to $3.50. Is there
a farmer in Hardeman Coun-
ty who clears as much as the
minimum figure from an acre
in cotton? We note with
pleasure this disposition on
the part of our people to get
out of the old ruts, and we
sincerity hope that it will be
instrumental in bringing
about more general change.
1t is a fact that communities
without manufactures, de-
pendent solely upon cotton,
are not prosperous and pro
gressive. If the experiment
at tomato raising proves
success, perhaps a canning
factory will follow, and this
may lead to other industries.

aged 60 years, months and day.
lie was buried at Mt. Gilead grave
yard, McNairy county, Saturday,
January 25, 1902.
He was born in McNairy county,
July 1, 1888. Was married to Mrs.
Mary Jane Armield, formerly Miss
Mary Jane Johnson. To their un-
ion eleven children were born. Up
to his demise death had carried
away three grown daughters and
three little sons, leaving only five
children and loving wife to mourn
his departure.
He was a member of Hardeman
Masonic Lodge, held at Forest III II,
District Is, this county. He was
not a church member, but he held
10 the Primitive belief. When the
angel of death was close by he said
that he "was ready and satisfied to
die"
He served as a Justice of the
Peace a number of years, and also
as School Director, which Office he
was filling when he died. His oc-
was farming, at which he
was industrious and succ ssful, pro
viding bountifully for his family.
He was sincere, open and firm in
his dealings with every one, courte-
Gus to his friends and kind and af-
fectionate in his home.
Although he left a wife, five chill
dren and a host of friends and rela-
tives to mourn the loss of him, we
hope their loss is his eternal gain
We feel that we express the senti-
ment of the district when we tender
our deepest sympathy to the he,
reaved family, and trust that one
lay we will strike hands on a hap
pier and brighter shore.
