HALL OF FAME.

The Mississippi Hall of Fame
in the new million dollar capital
is to be adorned by a magnificent
portrait Of Abraham Lincoln the
gift of his son to the State. The
portrait is to be hung by the side
of jefferson Davis, we suppose as
an evidence that there is no long
er any animosity between the
sections.
While admiring Mr. Lincoln S
a great, good man we think this is
very bad taste, and will in no
sense advance the good will and
fellowship between the Northi and
South, and the only probable re-
suit will be to expose the State to
ridicule.,
This was intended to be a Mis-
'sissippi Hail of Fame and the por-
trait should have been con lined to

Meat and Poultry Needed.

A farmer came in this morning
with a very large turkey for sale.
Some one offered him a mule for
it, but he refused the offer, stat
ing that the turkey was worth
more than the mule. And still
there is no poultry farm in this
country or any person who seems
to take much interest in raising
poultry. At The present price of
eggs it would take about four
pounds Of cotton to bny Il dozen
and they can only be had by ship
ments from other parts of the
states. When a turkey becomes
about the same price Of a mule and
a razorback hog worth a house
full of white headed children, it
is about. time the farmers were
turning their attention to meat
and poultry raising.-Hatties-

Rulings and Opinions.

An exchange speaks of Attorney

gives an "opinion" to officials,
which is merely entitled to weight
and consideration as illegal ad-

ever, his ~opinions'' when brought
to the judicial test, have been sus-
tanned by the "rulings'' of the

Some Poetry.

A farmer whose "razorback''

something of a poet wrote these
lines to the cothpany's claim agent

days later to receive the following:

Why should we go back to the
days Of fable and romance to se-
lect instances Of ho~oism and
martyrdom to point a moral or
adorn a tale, when in every day
life we r surrounded by those
in whose bosom burns a spirit
which only needs an opportunity
to prove that it is as great and
unselfsh as the martyrdom of
fiction. Who knows but that

fingers sped over the keys listen
ed for the walls that would have
engulfed her in eternal darkness.
Hhe could not have been insensible
to danger. Her task required
the highest devotion to duty and
unselish personal sacrifice, and
she was equal to it. The follow
ing from Chicago is going the
rounds of the press:-
ETHEL Barker, the IA year
old daughter OF Alderman Barker,
dared smoke menacing flames to
day, and while hundreds of her
fellow pupils IN the Lincoln school
marched in orderly manner from
peril to saftey, she stayed cour-
ageously at her post and played a
lively march.
"It was 10 O'Clock and %recitations
were being held throughout the
building, when the cry of fire
startled teachers and pupils. The
former were quick to prevent an
impending panic. Soothing words

the beating of a drum convinced
all that the structure was aire

for the drill, which all the pupils
have rehearsed again and again,
but never before when there was
actual danger.
"Hardly HAD the lines in the
various rooms formed before the
stirring notes of one of Sousa's
marches penetrated to all quarters,
Each trampling pupil knew his
place and little Ethel knew hers,
too While the 400 merged from
ali corners into one general col

LATE VEGETABLES.

The country is now watching
with great expectancy the events

a war has been eminent there is no
reason to doubt. England and

settled without a serious conflict in
which more than the principals
take part. The same old English
game of demanding satisfaction al

weak adversary is in evidence in
Venezuela, but England was
shrewd enough to have an ally be-

KIDNEY CURE.

tS
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
Poisonous waste matter is collected
by the blood from all parts of the sys-
tenn and carried to tie kidneys, where
urine. The kidneys deal with the blood
from. Hence, if the blood is bad the
kidneys are not only ~overworked, blu.
underfed. How necessary is it, there
blood should be maintain ed. Itisplain
why the great blood purifier and
strengthener-Dr. Harter Is Iron Tonic
has been successf ully used in treating
kidney diseases and in preventing same.
In purifying the blood 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:
PINE KNOT, KY, June 25, 1902.
The DR.. Hdrter Medicine Co., Dayton, O.
GENTLEMEN: I had a severe case of
typhoid fever six years ago, which left
my kidneys in bad order. / have tried
a number of remedies and taken treat
ment from doctors, but DR.. Harter's Iron
Tonic has done me more good than
everything else. G. CoRDELL,
Merchant and Mine Operator.
There are thousands of just such
cases as the above that are treated
without results because they are
wrongly treated. Mr.. Cordell's
condition resulted from an exhaust
ing fever; the kidneys, as well as
the rest of the system, had been
wasted by disease. No wonder DR..
HartersIron Tonic promptlycured,
because it purified and enriched the
blood, and such blood carried new
strength and vitality directly to the
kidneys and to all the organs.
