Our town has been the center of
activity in the lumber business for
some time. Mr.. J. w. Wardlow
has built and is now ready to oper-
ate large saw and planning mill,
and will also manufacture laths and
shingles.
Our farmers are getting move
on them, after long continued
spell of rainy and muddy weather.
Plow stock is very scarce and
high. Corn is plentiful, but meat
is high.
The young folks had very de-
lightful entertainment at the Shea
Hotel few nights since, given as a
compliment to Miss Gwyn Irby,
who has just returned from pro-
longed visit to her sister, Mrs.
Alice Rose, of Corinth.
Miss Ella Kennedy is havi 70 her
home beautified and adorned in the
most up to date fashion. Miss
Kennedy is her fathers housekeep-
er and knows how to make home
pleasant and happy.
Miss Leila Tipler, one of our
lovely young ladies, has recently
opened millinery store.

little lady from Memphis, is visit.

Mr.. H. E. Ray, of the Pocahon-
tas Lumber Co., of Corinth, was a
guest at the Shea Hotel this week.
l see in the Free Press that Hon.
HI. E. Carter has introduced in the
legislature two bills ''for the bene-
fit of his constituency" SO says the
Free Press. How any one can COM
mend one of these bills is beyond
our comprehension. The bill max
ing it misdemeanor to hire a SER
want is fit companion piece to be
placed side by side with some of
the fugitive slave laws of ante-bel-
lum days. That bill should never
see the light beyond the committee
room, but should be consigned to
the oblivion it so richly deserves.
This bill would benefit no one but
some lazy, good for nothing fellow,
who would under fair promises con-
tract with some poor and unsuspect-
ing one, and then afterwards make
life so miserable that he would be
forced to quit and then tramp the
country and no one allowed to give
him days work, forcing him to
L 4
vagrant and sent to the workhouse
to serve another master. And this
law introduced by a democratic
representative and advocated by a
democratic paper Oh, shades of
Jefferson, Jackson, Calhoun, Ben
ton and all the grand and glorious
fathers of the republic, deliver us
from such democracy

at the Western Hospital of the
eighty-four employees working there
seventY-one of them are citizens of
Hardeman county. We cannot
commend this, as we believe it to
be wrong. AT the Eastern and
Central Hospitals the discrimina-
ton is not so great, yet they are
subject to the same criticism, but
not to the same extent. Your com
mittee recommends such reforma.
ton along this line as this legisla-
ture may think proper to make.
"Your committee believes that
too much money has been spent at
the Western Hospital for whiskey
and other strong drink, and while
they admit it is necessary to have
whiskey in order to properly treat
the patients, we do not believe that
it has been dispensed with the
proper care and caution. We there.
fc-c recommend that all the whiskey
furnished these institutions be In
direct charge and supervision of the
superintendent and dispensed by
them only as medical treatment may
demand.
"Your committee is of opinion
that the State is keeping too much
live stock on hand at these hospitals,
and therefore recommend that the
superintendents sell all the live
stock except those which are OF
practical use.
s'As before stated we think that
too much is expended in officers
salaries at all our hospitals for the
insane. From As to so per cent. OF
allowance made to these different
institutions is taken up in salaries
and wages. We believe this TO be
extravaganza, and recommend that
no more than % per cent, of the
allowances made be authorized to be
applied to salaries and wages. We
refer to these useless expenditures
of money as we see them from an
economical standpoint, having no
other interest at heart than to sug-
gest improvements, as we believe
them to be, and thus serve the peo-
pie of our State to an advantage in
our official capacity.

A disordered stomach may cause
no end of trouble. When the
stomach fails to perform its
functions the bowels become de-
ranged, the liver and kidneys con-
gested, causing numerous diseases,
the most fatal of which are painless
and therefore the more to be dread
ed. The important thing is to re-
store the stomach and liver to a
healthy condition, and for this
purpose no better preparation can
be used than Chamberlaiu's Stomach
and Liver Tablets. For sale by

REPORT OF CHARITABLE COMMITTEE
On WESTERN HOSPITAL.

"This institution, the Western
Hospital for Insane, located about
three miles from Bolivar, in Harde-
man county, was established in
1885. 1t is now under the manage.
ment of DR.. J. P. Douglas, a kind
hearted, indulgent gentlemen, well
qualified for his position. The site
of the institution is a magnificent
tract of rolling land, from the
highest point of which can be oh.
tanned a view of the surro unding
country. In further describing this
institution, we take the liberty of
quoting from the report of the
State board of charities which says:
"The central portion of the main
structure consists of building 5Ox
$50 feet, four stories high, divided
into offices for administration work
living rooms for the officers and
amusement hall and chapel. From
the administration building there
are wings east and west, containing
six wards each for the accommoda-
ton of the patients. These wards
have an easy capacity for four
hundred and fifty persons. There
Is also an annex for colored patients
situated about five hundred yards
from the main building, containing
four wards, with an easy capacity
of one hundred persons. There are
a laundry, boiler house, ice plant,
kitchen and many other ordinary
buildings for the accommodations
of the employees. Also barns for
the accommodation of cattle and
horses. The State owns at this
place about six hundred and forty
acres of land, which cost So, 600.
This does not include the building
site which cost $4,000. The Hos
pitai was begun in 1886 and COM
pleted in 1887. This beautiful
property is well preserved, and
shows evidently that it has been in
careful hands for the past two years
and prior thereto. There are now
$50 male patients and 331 female,
making a total of Gil inmates in the
hospital. They are well cared for
and in splendid condition; the Of
ficers seem to labor for the comfort
and happiness of the unfortunates
confined in this hospital"
"'Your committee could not make
any suggestion that would add to
the comfort of those confined.
''The books were investigated
and found to be accurate; they
showed that they had been kept by
a person skilled in that line. The
financial condition of the institution
is fine; it is out of debt, and had, on

ELSEWHERE we publish the re-
port of the legislative visiting COM
mittee, concerning the Western
Hospital. 1t is a conglomerated
combination of praise and censure.
Some sensible and practical sugges-
tions are made, however, that
should be carried into effect, name
ly; insuring the property, buying
additional land, Improvement of
the road leading from Bolivar to
the institution. The report men,
tions lack of harmony among the
officials, and quotes Holy Writ, ga
house divided against itself cannot
stand" They predict that if this
condition of affairs continues, ere
long the patients will suffer. This
is matter, of course, for the con-
sideration of the superintendent,
who alone is responsible for the
government of the institution. He
appoints his subordinates, and if
there is discord or dissention among
his officials, he has authority to ap-
ply the remedy. So far as divis-
ion among the Trustees is concern
ed, we are assured that the commit.
tee is in error. The present board,
in It's official capacity, has always
worked in perfect harmony, looking
solely to the welfare and best inter
ests of the Hospital.
