Conference Sunday school lnstituts.
BY far the. most interesting and
largest gathering Of Sunday school
workers yet held. in North Missis-
sippi will be at Winona on Septem-
Der 80 and October 1-2. As never
before the people Of the State are
feeling the need OF competent in
struction in the matter of Sunday
school management and teaching.
Those who know, or have come in
touch with DR.. Hamill and his ex-
cellent wife in their institute work,
gladly testify to the profoundness
and wonderful practicability Of their
teaching, which is impaired to lis
teners in a most impressive man
ner.
The pastor and entertainment
committee at Winona are sparing
nothing to arrange for the comfort
and pleasure of all who are fortu-
nate enough to be present. The pas
tors, as a rule, are interested, and
do their part, but cannot advance
over the superintendents and teach
ers, who need to get in touch with
some other work beside that done by
themselves. in. their own schools. 1t
is not only expected, but an assured
fact, that a splendid gathering OF
earnest workers '*on helpful mis-
sions bent" will be in attendance
Do you-does your school-need
any aid? If so, be present, or have

University Of Mississippi Opens.
The University of Mississippi be-
gan its fifty-fourth session last week.
II was the most auspicious opening
the institution ever had, and the in
creased attendance Of more than 800
students indicates that the action of
the board of trustees in establishing
the new schools of medicine and
teachers training meets with the ap-
proval of the citizens of the State.
The new buildings add greatly to
the convenience and comfort of the
students, and will enable the faculty
to make this banner year in uni
versity work.

Two or, three counties in the
northeastern portion Of the State
are beginning to attract great deal
Of attention because Of the discovery
OF deposits Of minerals Of most
every kind, and the organization Of
q strong company to develop them.
Representatives Of the Itawamba
Coal and Oil Development Company
are showing samples Of coal, iron,
silver, copper and other minerals
that have been taken from their
properties. and there does not seem
to be any room for doubt that there
is a fortune in those everlasting old
hills for somebody. Parties from
outside the State recently purchased
several thousand acres of these
lands, and it is stated that they are
backed by abundant capital to de-
velop them. Mississippians have
never doubted that their State is
rich in mineral deposits, but they
have never had the means of finding
out for certain, or of pushing what
they did know.

The race between the money COM
ing into the State treasury and tho
money going out is going to be close.
In the language Of the day, is is go
ing to be an eteyelash finish" Treas
uerer hampton was asked last week
if he thought the State would have
to borrow any further sums OF
money, and he said that he did not
think that it would. He is Of the
opinion that the proceeds from the
sale Of the cotton and cottonseed Of
the State will tide over the treasury
and enable this administration to
pull through without having to bor-
row . cent. He said that if the of
ficials could have their way about
when the revenues Of the State were
to be paid into the treasury there
would be no question about the re-
suit. The States cotton will begin
to bring money into the treasury
during the next few weeks, and there
is no very pressing demand on it
right now, the largest being the
$50, 900 which the State owes the
assessors, and $1,000 of this sum
has been paid. From the time tho
season opened last year until De-
cember 81 the treasury received ST.
456, ,141.79 from the sale of cotton,
cottonseed ad other products. The
crop is not as large this year as it
was last, but the price is better and
it is expected that the revnue will
be fully as great. The largest dis
tribution in sight now is that of the
pensioners. This will be $500, 900,
but by the time the auditor is ready
to send out the warrants the sheriffs
will be paying their tax money into
the treasury. The finish is going to
be exciting, but Treasurer Lampton
expects to win out.

Rapid Action.

At Centerville last week James
H. Germany, an employe of the
Robinson Mercantile Company, was
killed by negro named Williams.
The negro had been enticing the
labor of the company away, and was
approached on the matter by Mr..
Germany, when he pulled his pis-
tol and fired three shots at Mr.. Ger
many at close range. The first shot
produced instant death. The negro
was chased down the streets, but
owing to the crowd Of people at.
tracted by the shooting no one dared
to use gun. AS soon as Williams
left Main street general melee be.
gan, Williams returning the fire OF
the crowd as he ran off. He was
overtaken before getting out of the
town limits, and his body riddled
| with bullets. Williams showed poor
craftsmanship, or he would have
killed several persons. He emptied
his pistol several times at the crowd
at close range while lodging behind
trees and other objects. Everything
is quiet and no further trouble is
anticipated. Mr.. Germany leaves
wife and five children and host of
friends.

County Fairs.


County fairs will be in full swing
in Mississippi in a few days, and
the prospect is that they are going
to be more attractive and receive q
larger patronage than ever before,
because of the fact that the farmers
are in better shape than for many
seasons, and the wave of prosperity
has rolled over every community in
the State. The Grenada County
Fair begins on the 9th of October
and lasts a week; the East Missis-
sippi and West Alabama Fair be-
gins at Columbus on the 18th of
October and lasts three days, among
the attractions being a game of foot
ball between the Agricultural and
Mechanical College of Mississippi
and the University Of Alabama.
The Lefore County Fair opens on
the 14th of October and lasts two
days. One of the features of this
fair will be a grand flower and
trades parade through the streets of
Greenwood. A citizen who has made
it rule to take in some of these
fairs every year states that one of
the most noticeable things in such
communities is the great number of
fine horses, cows, chickens, hogs and
pet stock generally that may be seen
at these gatherings. A spirit of
generous rivalry seems to permeate
the, very atmosphere about county
towns where fairs are held, and there
is not the slightest doubt Of an in
creased thrift and prosperity on all
the farms for miles around.

DR.. SHELTON DISCHARGED.
She Promises Not to Offend Again
Against Law and Good Morals.

Boston, Oct. 30.-nr Grace E. Skel-
ton, the young woman physician of this
city who was arrested upon the COM
plant of L. N. King, a former Harvard
tutor. that she had mailed him improper
postal cards and letters, was discharged
by United States Commissioner Fiske,
today. This action was taken upon the
recommendation of United States Dis
trict Attorney John H. Casey.
When Dr. Shelton was arrested she
informed the district attorney that
King had prosecuted her and that she
had written to him because she believed
he had not treated her fairly. The
woman's story was such that Mr. Casey
decided to hear Kings side of the case
before proceeding to prosecution. At
an informal hearing BEFORE Mr.. Casey
today, both King and DR.. Shelton were
examined. The party then adjourned
to the court room.
Mr.. Casey told the commissioner that
he had gone over the testimony and
that the defendant had promised not to
offend again. The district attorney was
of the opinion from his knowledge of
the evidence that it was for the interest
of public morals and decency that the
case should proceed no further. There
upon he moved that the defendant be
discharged and this was done.

tastes of it.
Meanwhile Garland and Rosie Russell
the Lackhams and joined the party.
Miss Russell is as positive as Brown
that all present drank from the same
bottle. She says that they noticed the
liquor tasted queer and that to her it
seemed sweet like syrup.
Along about supper time Brown says
that Garland and Miss Russell went
to the apartments of Dan Butler where
they lived for supper. Within a short
time after Garland was taken violently
sick and become unconscious. When
the physicians We're called they at once
noted the suspicious symptoms and
notified the officers AS soon as it was
learned that Brown was evidently the
man who procured the liquor that had
been used at Lackham's during the
afternoon, he was placed under arrest.
The bottle that had contained the
liquor was secured by the officers and
contained but very small quantity,
perhaps q spoonful, when it fell into
their possession. but even this amount
had a very peculiar appearance. There
seemed to be two kinds of liquid, one
about the color of cider and the other,
acting a good deal like quicksilver in
it's motion and keeping separate from
the lighter colOred one, being about the
color of whiskey. There is doubtless
enough to be thoroughly analysed SO
that the exact nature of the mixture
can be determined.
But the manner in which the powerful
poison was administered to Garland is a
mystery. Two of those present say that
all drank from the same bottle. Brown
says that he knows of but one bottle be-
ing used while he was present and that
was the one he obtained.
DR.. Abbott says that he met Lackhanl
on the street during the forenoon in what
was evidently an intoxicated condition
He offered the doctor % cents to write &
prescription for him so that he could
obtain more liquor, and the doctor OF
course refused. His condition in the
evening was not such as to admit an in

Every one remarks about their
change in health and looks, and
know it is all due to my giving them
Quinona." Send to us for the name OF
this woman, and with it we will send
you copies of other letters from grateful
mothers.
L. Crawford, 178 fremont Street, Bos.
ton, Mass, says:
"I have suffered from stomach
trouble for over three years. No medi-
cine did me any good. Hearing OF
Quinona's wonderful cures, I bought a
bottle of it, and in less than four
disappeared. My appetite is splendid
now, my food digests easily and feel
100 per cent. better than I did before
taking Quinona."
Mrs. A. Ellison Dean, 80 Clark Ave.,
Chelsea, writes:
"Quinona cured me of my nervous,
rundown condition after all other
remedies had failed to do so. I know
that it saved me from long spell
of sickness when 1 was completely
run down. 1 have recommended
Quinona to many people, and it has
quickly brought them good health"
You cannot doubt such enthusiastic,
earnest letters as these.
Indigestion, dyspepsia and other
stomach troubles cannot exist after
the nerve cells of the stomach have
absorbed the powerful peptic ingre-
dents of this wonderful preparation.
To extremely nervous people this
wonderful elixir is prompt and per-
manent relief from all nervous trou-
bles. The worlds greatest nerve
specialists are giving Quinona the
closest attention, and are carefully
testing it's wonderful nervine proper
ties. In their opinion Quinona has
opened up new and successful
means of curing extreme nervousness
and is powerful enough to prevent
nervous prostration.
To the hosts of people whose sys-
TENS are run down, who cannot sleep,
have Indifferent appetites, suffer from
constant colds, night sweats, head
aches, back aches, and are forever
feeling tired and dragged out, the
discovery of Quinona means new
strength, energy and perfect health.
Remember Quinona is not a patent
medicine. 1t contains no dangerous
drugs (see exact formula printed on
the label of every bottle) and is safe
and palatable to the most delicate
stomach. All druggists sell Quinona.
