If is true the most annoying symptoms. like stoppage of the nose and throat trouble, are purely local, but they are simply symptoms, and the real seat or disease is far removed
 Catarrb Is a constitutional disease, a blood disorder complicated usually with disease of the liver and to suppose that local applications of sprays. powders, in halers. could ever reach the real cause of the trouble is ridiculous
 The sensble and successful treatment to to remove the catarrhal poison from the system by regulating the liver and purifying the blood. and this can only be done by an internal remedy, which should consist of antisepties and remedies to act vigorously on the blood and liver.
 The best preparation of this kind which aus all the requirements of a safe consti- tutional treatment Is Stuart's Catarrl Tablets composed of Blood Root Red Gum and similar wholesome antiseptics, which are absolutely safe to take into the stomach and which act upon the liver, stomach and mucous membrane.
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are large, pleasant tasting lozenges to be slowly dissolved In the mouth. thus reaching the mucous membrane and windpipe and finally reaching the stomach.
 Dr. Edmundson. in speaking of the new
 
 compllshed the most satisfactory results in all forms of catarrh of the head, throat bronchial tubes. as well as ca tarrh of the stomach and liver, by using nothing else but Stuarts Catarrh Tab lets I long since threw aside sprays and inhalers as being convenient and at the best mere temporary make-shifts.
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets act immedi- ately upon the liver and blood and clear the whole system of catarrhal poison, They arc pleasant and very convenient to use, and they are not only the latest but I believe them to be the best and certain lv tte safest trea tment for any form of catarlr

 GOOD FISH STORY
Negro While Cleaning Big Red Snap. per Discovers a Diamond Pin
 Worth at Least $100.

Selma, March "A negro from up about Burnsville was in the city today exhxibit- ing curiosity in the shape of a diamond breast pin, which he states he found inside of large redsnapper fish a few days ago. The negro runs little store at Burnsvilie and frequently orders bar rels of fish from Pensacola He received a barrel few days ago and sold all but one of the largest snappers. Seeing the fish was about to spoil on his hands, he determined to use 1t on his own table. As he went to clean the fish something sharp stuck his hand and an inyestiga- tion disclosed a gold bar on which was five diamonds Jewellers of the city to whom the pin was exhibited declare that 1t is worth about a hundred dollars. The clasp was quite rusty, showing that 1t had been in the body of the fish some time.
 There are many theories about how the pin came into the fish, the most plausi- ble being that some young lady who was drowned had been attacked by the fish and that the bright diamonds at tracted 1t.

He Does Not Make 1t.

Your grocer may be perfectly consci- entious in recommending another flour to be just as pure as Clifton but he does not and cannot know 1t to tbe so because he has nothing to do with it's making. It behooves you, therefore, to buy an absolutely guaranteed four-one that the Anti-Adulteration League puts it's registered trademark on-and such a flour is Bransford's Clifton" It is not only absolutely pure, but it is the best winter wheat patent flour in the market Ask your grocer for 1t.

MERIDIAN, MISS.
Councilman I'm ',s Cost of Lights En.
 ireiy Too High.

Meridian Miss, March 7.-(Special)-- An interesting meeting of the Board of Council was held last night at which red hot objections were entered by E. Kahn, a well known citizen of Meridian, to the granting of an extension of the citys lighting contract with the Mert- dian Light and Railway Company. The present contract has about four years longer to run and the light company Is asking for an extension of four years more. Mir.

The rate in this place is already considered to be excess sive for a city in the second class and 1t Is possible that some effort will be made to resist this raise. It Is claimed by some that one cause of the high rates which obtain here Is the lack of sufficient water pressure On one two recent oc- casions it is claimed that the pressure was far below the required amount. At any rate. one firm was forced to cancel policies to the amount of sS0,000 on one risk alone on account O. the alleged in- sufficient pressure.
