ant Pellets. Thanks to DR.. Pierce end
his medicine am we'll woman to-day.
DR.. Pierce's medicines also cured my
mother of liver complaint from which
she had been sufferer for fifteen years.
We highly recommend these medicines
to all suffering people,"
Diseases which seem to be remote from
the stomach, but which originate in the
stomach are cured through the stomach.
For this reason diseases of heart, lungs,
liver, kidneys, and other organs are
cured by uGolden Medical Discovery"
when it has cured the disease of the
stomach and its associated organs Of
digestion and nutrition.
1T has been a surprise to many people
who have taken uGolden Medical Dis
covery" for stomach vtrouble," to find
that as the stomach was cured, diseases
of long standing which had affected
other organs were cured also. The
vweak heart becomes strong, the slug
gish liver active, the clogged kidneys
are cleansed, the lungs made sound.
The whole body is practically renewed,
built up with firm, healthy flesh, and not
pulled up with dabby fat.
Some dealers desiring to make the
little more profit paid by the sale of less
meritorious medicines will sometimes
offer the customer substitute for
cGolden Medical Discovery" claiming
it to be cjust as good" Nothing is Just
as good for you which has not just as
good a record of cures, and no other
medicine has a record of cures compar.
able with those effected by the use OF
vGolden Medical Discovery"
GIVE IT TO soME ONE ELSE.
DR.. Pierce's Common Sense Medical
Adviser, containing over thousand
large pages and more than 100 illustra-
tons Is sent free on receipt of stamps
to pay expense of mailing only. If you
don't feel the need of this valuable med
ical work yourself, why not give 1t to
some friend or young married couple.
1t is an INVALUABLE gift, and one which
will be highly appreciated by the recipi-
emit. Send 81 one-cent stamps for the
volume in durable cloth binding, or only

Gentlemen
A few days ago received notice from the
board OF public works notifying me to make all
gas, water and sewer connections necessary in
front OF my property on West Main street within
fifteen days or the same would be made by said
board and the expense charged to said proper
ty. presume many others have received like
notices. IL Is my impression such a tax would
be Invalid as the charter plainly tells how such
can be done. There has been nothing done by
the city authorities to ascertain whether the
honorable body to pave said street. would
suggest that you consult the city attorney and
get his opinion on the question of legality of
your proposed method of proceeding.
fear 1t might prove to be a serious question
as to whether you could collect such tax.
Yours respectfully,
Following claims and accounts were presented

Candy For Change.

"Some people wonder why we carry
stock Of cheap candy, penny candy"
said the man who keeps the railroad
newsstand. "Well, you see, it's this
way: have lot Of regular customers
who want 1t. They take it out in
change. For instance, one man has
been buying two evening papers from
me every afternoon for several years.
If he has any pennies, l never see them.
He always throws down a nickel, picks
up his two papers from the pile and
then takes three pieces Of candy, which
he chews while waiting for his train.
Other men saw him do this and fol-
lowed suit, and now it's quite the regu-
lar thing."-PhladelDhla Record

HOW DYSPEPSIA IS CURED.

There is an almost certain cure for
dyspepsia and other diseases o. the
stomach and organs of digestion and
nutrition. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery always helps and almost al
ways cures. In ninety-eight per cent.
of cases in which the "Diacovery" has
been given fair and faithful trial it has
wrought a perfect and permanent cure.
1t has cured the most severe and obsti-
nate conditions of stomach trouble which
have failed to yield to any other medi-
cine.
Mr.. Ned Nelson, the Irish Comedian
and Mimic of 577 Royden Street, CAM
den, n. J., writes: I'VE fulfilled an
engagement of twelve weeks and the
constant travelling gave me bad touch
of that dreaded disease called dyspepsia.

BoeuE CHIrro NOTES.
BY JEEMs.

1t is useless to say anything about
the weather.
DR.. Walter Brent is practicing med
icine at Wellman.
Comrade A. NJ. Summers spent last
Sunday night with us.
Several mad cattle are reported
throughout the county.
1t is foregone conclusion that
Bogue Chitto will soon have bank.
Forest fires are raging near Capt. A.
j. Martins place. "Uncle Ep". says he
has been fired.
Miss Vickie Scarborough will open
a private school at Clear Branch
church on Monday, the last day of
June.
Lumber is now on the, ground for
whose wheels are to turn by the 18th
of August.
The sound of saw and hammer will
soon be heard in the erection of new
drug store and other business houses
in our city.
Having abandoned all hopes of get
ting the hash in store for us at Edgar,
we have invested dime or so in
soup bone.
President w. T. Lowery filled his
appointment at the Baptist church
last Sunday night, and raised some
thing over 5000 for the endowment of
Mississippi College.
Henry Harden, a colored man, in the
employ of the I. e. railroad, was in
stantly killed here by a moving train
last Tuesday night. He was formerly
from the Valley raiload.
DIR. Ed. Brent is now full fiedged
dentist and will locate in Laurel. Ed.
says he wants pay for looking down in
the mouth. Many of our Bogue Chitto
young men are turning out well.
It seldom occurs that man has the
uneasy privilege of writing his own
obituary, as Bro. Billy did his in
last weeks notes. Do you think you
have touch of american (eat
u.s. itis"l, Bro. Billy?
How sad the death of our lamented
comrade, Capt L. c. Maxwell. We
knew him in the prime of his young
manhood during the COS, with drawn
sword, amid the clash of battle. He
delighted to speak of the great Re-
union at Dallas, Texas, where he met so
many of his old comrades in arms,
but his sunset gun has fred and he
has joined his comrades on the other
shore. With fearful eyes, seven of his
old company stood around his lifeless
form, as it lay clad in it's beautiful
suit of Confederate gray. May the
Lord comfort the bereaved family.
