RRAIN-FOOD NONSENSE.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent author
tiles. They have dispelled the silly no.
ton that one kind of food is needed for
brain, another for muscles, and still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish a particular part Of
the body, but it will sustain every 9TH
er part Yet, however good your food
may be its nutriment is destroyed by
indigestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or pre-
vent their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower, the
favorite medicine of the healthy mil
lions. A few doses aids digestion, slim
nlates the liver to healthy action, pu-
rifles the blood, and makes you feel
bouyant and vigorous. You can get DR..

THE CONFEDERATE RE
UNION, DALLAS, IN APRIL.

The Confederate Veterans
who go to the Annual Reunion at
Dallas in April via the Queen &
Crescent Route will be able to
see at the crossing of Pearl River
in the eastern outskirts of Jack
son, Miss, relic of the late war.
The Railroad Bridge which in
1868 spanned the river at that
point was destroyed by order of
General II. S. Grant; the piers Of
masonry were shot down to a foot
from tbs surface of the water.
Afterward, the Railroad Co. then
known as the Southern Railroad
built a wooden bridge at this
point supported partially by
piles and partially by tim bers
supported by the remains of the
old Brick Piers.
This wooden bridge has just
been replaced by a firm steel
structure a few feet to the north
of the old bridge.
The remains of the old Piers
are still in existence, however, and
mark one of the many points Of
interest to the Veteran travelling
through Mississippi.
This railroad now known as the
Alabama & Vicksburg Ry. Ga
part of the Queen & Crescent
System) having been in existence
at the time of the war. The
country through which it runs
was nearly ali fighting ground.

La Grippe Quickly Cured.

Gin the winter Of 1893 and 1899 | was
taken down with a severe attack of
what is called La Grippe" says f. l..
Hewett, a prominent druggist of win
field, III. The only medicine | used
was two bottles of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t broke up the cold
and stopped the coughing like magic,
and | have never since been troubled
with Grippe" Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy can always be depended upon
to break up severe cold and ward off
any threatened attack of pneumonia.
1t is pleasant to take, too, which makes
it the most desirable and one of the
most popular preparations in use for
these ailments. For sale by r. L. Ste

A Good Kansas Story.

The following true Kansas
story is from the Kansas City
Journal: Many years ago when
Gen. Archie Williams was attor-
ney general of Kansas he had an
occasion to make trip East and
borrowed an annual pass over an
Illinois road from an old friend,
Jack Smith. 1t happened that
the conductor in Illinois was
former Schoolmate of his and
recognized him, but Williams did
not recognize the conductor.
"Mr. Smith, said the conductor,
after working his train and re-
turning to have chat with his
passenger from Kansas, 81 see
you are from Topeka" Did you
ever know man out there by
the name of Archie Williams?"
Eyes, | | knew him very we'll, :"
responded Smith after strug-
Cling hard to regain his compo-
sure and steady his nerve.
Eyes, Williams is considerable
of a fellow out there; he's attor-
ney general of the State. :"
"Who, Williams? Attorney gen
eral? Well, I'll be did, ejacu-
lated the conductor. "What
kind of people are they out there
in Kansas to elect a chucklehead
like that for attorney general?
Why, sir, used to know Will

The picture of our boy who died.

Upon his face the loving call
Come ringing down the darkened hall
To give me greeting:
Hello, Pop!'
1t seems but yesterday he died;
But yesterday we stood beside
His bed and watched his eyelids drop
To sleep, to wake in endless day
But yesterday | heard him say
With dying accents;
"Good-bye, Pop,'
Last night dreamed he stood again
With face pressed to the wlndowp pane
And watched to see my street car
stop:
That when he heard me at the door
He quickly ran across the floor
And met me shouting:
Hello, Pop"
Sometimes, when daylight fades to
gloom,
And ghostly shadows FIJI the room,
feel again the swelling joy.
For, from thesha1ow round about
hear once more his Joyful shout,
In boyish tones:
I'm papa's boy !"
When, after deaths cold, chilly hands
Have loosed the last of earthly bands
And caused life's weary load to drop;
I'll feel il is supremest joy
To meet at heavens gate my boy,
And hear his welcome!
Hello, Pop!"

EvOn Nj. Barber.

THE FREE Press today con-
tains the announcement of Hon.
e. NJ. Barber, of Biloxi, as a cam
didate for Congress from this
district. Mr. Barber is a very
worthy gentleman whose ability
is unquestioned and a true blue
democrat. We reproduce the
following clipping from the
Ocean Springs Progress in
which is contained also a quota
ton from the Biloxi Herald which
are quite complimentary to this
distinguished gentleman:
In its proper place in this pa
per will be found the formal an
nouncement of Hon. E. NJ. Bar
Der of Biloxi as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
Congress. Itseems quite unnec-
essary to dwell at length on Mr..
Barber's qualifications or fitness
for this exalted position. His
ability to discharge the duties of
the Office Is well known, and his
democracy is Of the true blue
stripe-the kind that all trne
democrats admire. Although a
comparatively young man, Mr..
Barber has long occupied a prom
inent position in local and state
politics. Besides serving in the
State Legislature with ability and
honor he has held several posi-
tions of horor and trust both by
appointment and election. In the
last presidential election, Mr..
Barber was chosen as the Demo-
cratic elector from this District.
That grand old man, Gov. Stone,
recognized his ability and pure
democracy by tenders of impor-
tant official appointments. AS a
lawyer, he has built up a large
practice all along the coast, and
has been eminently successful.
Speaking of his candidacy, the
Biloxi Herald of Wednesday
MOI HlllS, says.
"Mr. Barber is the second can
didate to enter the race IN this
district. He is not without leg
islative experience, having served
in the Mississippi Legislature as
we'll as his competitor, and it is
evident that the campaign be-
tween Messrs Bowers and Bar
Der will be one of the most close
ly contested that has ever been
witnessed in the state. Mr..
Barber informs the Herald that
he is in the race to win, but that
should he fall short of victory, he
will render loyal support to his
successful opponent. In the
meantime, he desires that the
voters of the district give his
claims due consideration, prom
Using that in the event he is elect
ed, that he will give his undivided
attention to the duties that will
devolve upon him as a represen-
tatlve in Congress, looking care
fully after the interests Of his
constituency IN every part of the
district. In a words, that he
will not be swaycd by either ia
vorltism or prejudice. That in
submitting his claims for the
nomination, he will be guided
by fairness toward his opponent
and justice toward the suffragans
of the district.
The Progress commends Mr..
Barber's candidacy to the
thoughtful consideration of the
Democrats of jackson County"

Christmas festivities are over and
the New Year has been introduced,
although it has been introduced in
different ways in different homes.
The nome Of August johnson had
the great pleasure Of having the
pride OF the home, Charley j Johnson,
surprised and presented with a gold
watch, the greatest gift perhaps ever
given to any person in Vega. But
the home OF Frank Johnson was sad
dened by the death OF their daughter,
Ellen Amanda, whose demise was a
great loss to the home, the commu-
nifty and the Sunday School.
After a vacation Of two weeks,
school will start again in District No.
SO, with the same teacher, Miss Alma
Barneko, who has been employed as
a teacher here many years.
The community is feeling kind of
uneasy on account Of the illness OF
Mrs. Bystrom, and we extend our
sympathy TO her and near ones, hop
ing that she may soon recover her
health.
