There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton Of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be 10
durable. For a great many years
doctors pronoun ,ed it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced 1t incur
able. Science has proven catarrh to
be q constitutional disease, and there.
fore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-
featured by F. J. Cheney & Co., TO.

The Same Old Story.

j.. A. Kelly relates experience
similar to that which has happened
in almost every neighbc rhood in the
United States and has been told and
re-told by thousands Of others. He
says: "Last summer | had an attack
Of dysentery and purchased a bottle
OF Cham berlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, which l used
according to directions and with en-
tirely satisfactory results. The
trouble was controlled much quicker
than former attacks when l used
other remedies" Mr.. Kelly is a

A Sustaining Diet.

These are enervating days, when,
as somebody has said, men drop by
sunstroke as If the Day Of Fire had
dawned. They are iraueht with dan
ger to people whose systems are poor
ly sustained; and this leads us to say,
in the interest Of the less robust Of
our readers, that the full effect Of
Hoods Sarsaparilla is such as to sug-
gest the propriety of calling this med
icne something beside a blood puri'
fer and tonic-say, sustaining diet.
1t makes it much easier to bear the
heat, assures refreshing sleep, and
will without any doubt avert much
sickness at this time Of year

Poisoning the System.

1t Is through the bowels that the
body 10 cleansed Of impurities. Con.
stipation keeps these poisons in the
system, causing headache, dulness
and melancholia at first, then un.
slightly eruptions and finally serious
illness unless a remedy is applied.
DeWitt's Little Early Risers prevent
this trouble by stimulating the liver
and promote easy, healthy action Of
the bowels. These little pills do no,
act violently but by strengthening
the bowels enable them to perform
their work. Never grippe or distress.

A pIcMcER PICKED UP.

When the conductors excursion
train reached Rawlston last Satur-
day morning the conductor turned
over to the deputy sheriff at that place
J. F. Andersen who was charged
with carrying concealed deadly
weapon and for discharging firearms
in public place. He was brought
to Hattlesburg and landed in Jail,
but having about ninety dollars on
his person he turned this over to the
sheriff who gave him his liberty to
appear before Judge Wall this morn
ing for trial. He appeared promptly
and the judge fined him $25 for car
rying concealed deadly weapon and
$3.50 fer discharging the same in a
public place. The fines were
promptly paid and the young man
went his way rejoicing. 1t is be-
lieved that he was slightly intoxi-
Gated or he would not have been
guilty of the the charges brought
against him.

THE CITIZENS BANK.

The Progress had an interesting in
terview with Prof. Philips this morn
ing in regard TO the building of the Git
liens Bank which is TO be located on
the corner of Main and Front streets
where the Boozer barber shot is cow
standing.
The professor showed the Progress
scribe the drawing ofthe building. which
has been adopted, end it is indeed
beautiful structure. 1t is three stories
with the first story coD> tructed of solid
stone with stone columns and the next
two contracted of pressed grey brick
which will be purchased in st. Louis.
The first floog will be used for the bank
proper with the entrance to the right
for a store house. The two upper floors
will be cut up and used for Offices,
about seven TO each story, to be for
rent. To the right of the first story,
beginning at the ground floor, will be
an elevator, which doubtless will be run
by electric power,
The charter of the bank has been ap-
proved, the plans and specifications
adopted and bids will be asked for with
in the next few days. The professor
stated that as soon as they can get the
material for the erection of the building
it will be begun and he hoped and ex
pected to start in with $4,000, which
amount has nearly already been made
up. The professor, who seems to be at
| the head of the movement, says that he
had not the least trouble in disposing Of
the Shares-in fact he had more appli
cations for stock than he had stock-and
that thsy had been so carefully distrib
uted that there was no doubt of the
banks success from the start.
TIE bank people expect to get int,
their new building by the first of Sep
TENDER or by the middle at fartherest
but that no attempt will Ue made tc
open the bank and business until every.
thing is IN readiness. The bank is al
lowed, under the charter, to increa SO
the capital stock to 100000. but it will
start off, as stated above, with CAPT
tai of $4,000.
This will give Hattiesburg three o
the strongest banks in the state and con

THE AFTERNOON NEWSPAPERS.
louisville Post.

Louisville HOSC.
The afternoon newspaper is the
paper the people read. 1t goes to
the home to be read around the
fireside by every member of the
family.
Each season marks the growth
of the afternoon newspaper. In
Louisville, as in Cincinnati, Ia
dianapolis, Columbus, Chicago,
st. Louis and Nashville, the after
noon newspapers have the cir
culation and the advertising, and
spend the money.
This is especially true at st.
Louis and Indianapolis, where the
local advertisers have simply
taken possession of the afternoon
newspapers, which, not once a
week, bat two or three times a
week, a. pear with seventy five.
eighty FIVE, min ty or one hundred
columns of advertising.
This is in accordance with the
laws of commercial development.
The man of business, with Il great
Giant and large stock, cannot
afford to have dull days any more
than he can afford to have dull
seasons. He must make each day
j count, and he must push his bust
ness if ne does not wish to have
hi; business push him. So to get
in touch with the buying public,
to le, the shoppers of the city and
state know what he has for sale,
he must more and more use the
columns of the afternoon news
papers. Thus it is that not here
alone. but all over the country, the
afternoon newspaper goes for
ward, while the morning compila-
ton stands still or goes back.
