Mr.. J. W. H. Baskin, of Houlka,
whose announcement appears in this
issue as q candidate for Supervisor
from the Second district, is one Of
Chickasaw county's popular a d

no one will doubt for a moment that
the duties,of the position will be safely

Mr.. Baskin is capable and worthy, and

The breaks in the levies on the low

Greenville, Mississippi flooded a large
portion of that prosperous city and
farming sections covering nearly four
counties. A number of other small
breaks in the levies have occurred at
different places, but the most danger

alarm and asked for all the help posi-

and that is close enough to conhne
the demand. It matters not from
what state a man is selected so that
his heart is in the right place and his
head Is not so shallow as to be turned
by the petit demand Of his partisan
ship. The people Of such a nation
as this are entitled to an executive
who is broad enough and big enough

As mercury will surely destroy the sense
OF smell and completely derange the whole
system when entering it through the mucous

except on prescriptions from reputable
physicians, as the damage they will do is

from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-

AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE

Has it ever been your unhappy lot to
be told by your physician that you must
go to a hospital and submit 10 an opera
ton? If so, you remember with what
dread and shrinking you awaited the day
when you must endure the knife.
The present day surgeon appears 10 be
possessed by a mania for operating, es-
pecially in cases of hemorrhoids or piles.
and while the greater number OF the
profession do not recommend this last
resort unless they honestly believe il
necessary, the fact remains that much
needless operating is done, and the pa
tient put 20 much expense and suffer
ing, for what?
To obtain possible temporary relief;
these words are used advisedly, because
in nine cases out OF ten the affiiction
returns and the patient is just where he
started from Oftentimes he could be
cured much more simply and easily by
the use of such a remedy as the Pyramid
Pile Cure; this has come to be recog-
nized as the best remedy on the market
for the painful disease named, and the
druggists now sell more Of it than all
other pile remedies combined.
The writer personally knows people
who were afflicted with the worst form
Of bleeding and protruding piles and who
were permanently cured by the use Of
Pyramid Pile Cure. In every one of
these cases the attending physician had
assured the sufferer that only by an op-
erae Ion could he rid himself Of the dis
case; so much for the infallibility of the
doctors.
This remedy, which is sold by all drug
gists at the lew price of fifty cents, is in
suppositery form, is applied directly TO
the parts affected and performs its work
quietly and painlessly- The Pyramid
Drug Co, Marshall, Mich, viii mail free
to any address a book telling all about
piles or hemorrhoids, their cause and
cure.
A suggestion is offered. that if the
reader is afflicted, or knows anyone who
is. this book be sent for, as it viii be
found invaluable.

where it Will be treated. The car was
decorated with flags and large signs on
each side bearing the words, ''ore from

hear the results from this car of ore,
which will be known in about two weeks.
AS every citizen predicted, the vote for
the water works on Wednesday was al
most unanimous, there being only two
votes cast against the proposition. Sew
eral parties are now figuring for the pur-
chase of the bonds, and just as soon as
they are sold the work on the system
will begin. Z. S. Perkins & Co., of this
city, who drew the plans and specifica-
tions, were the lucky bidders. and We feel
certai nthat every citizen will be sat
isfied with the job Mr.. Perkins will do the
oft
