too cold, combined with roads which

The compensation of the collector was
fixed at l-2 per cent, as it has been for
several years.
1t was voted that we pass over the
election of road commissioner, and
that the care of the roads for the ensuing
year be left with the selectmen. When
this was put to vote, chorus of
ayes went up, with not a single no.
1t was moved that the selectmen be in
structed to appoint road agent in each
of the old road districts, but after a
short discussion this was defeated.
Under article it was voted to elect

Frank, n. w. T., May 1.-The cause
OF the trouble at Frank was a huge
slide. There was no explosion what
ever. 1t was Of such large dimensions
that the cloud Of dust was taken for
smoke, and the minor slides coming
down We're taken for inside explosions.
The whole east end Of the mountain
extending from the Triple east has
gone out. 1t was 4,400 feet high and
slid across the entire valley, blocking
the track to the French mine. This
track is about forty feet higher than
the e'a madam I2aeliie railway traeis NJ
is distant about three-quarters of n
mile from the mine entrance
The slide extends from a point about
200 feet east of Frank station TO a
point one and a half miles east The
track Is covered with rock Of all sizes
from the size Of a marble to the size
Of a large double deck boarding car.
The Canadian Pacific railway is ar
ranging 70 cut a waterway through
where the river is blocked up in order
to avoid danger Of flood
The loss Of life cannot be estimated
yet. About ten houses In the east end

There Is no reason why the whole Of

Many small lodges of rock continue to

The pleasantest. most convenient and
the only scientific method for the treat
ment and cure Of catarrh Is Hyomei.
Simply pat twenty drops Of Hyomei ia the
inhaler that comes with every package

Of the throat and head and goes into the
lungs Is charged with a healing balsam
that kills the germs and bacilli Of catarrh
and soothes and allays all irritation.
The first days use Of Hyomei will show
a decided Improvement and in short
time there viii be no further trouble from

You take no risk in buying Hyomei.

MASONIC PICNIC AT BANNER
WEDNESDAY.
Crowd Estimatrd at 1000.

The good people of the Banner
neighborhood of Calhoun county
played host to hundreds of visit.
ors Wednesday. and played it af
ter the generous enthusiastic,
!-prodigal way of the golden days
of long ago. Taking Wednesday
as an example, it may well be said
the one time magnificent hospi-
tality of the South, one of the
brightest jewels in her royal crown,
has departed from the railroads
and fourlshes best in the interior.
The affair of Wednesday was a
picnic given by Banner Masonic
Lodge in observance of st. Johns
day, and was shared by the Lodges
of Sarepta, Pittsboro, Tu)a aud
Tabernacle Lodge of Pine Valley.
There were also visiting Masons
from Pontotoc and Chickasaw
counties, and fron Oxford and
Water Valley.
The Picnic was held at Sp- ing
Hill Church, aud the attendance
was estimated at 1000. The cere-
monies consisted of pro cession,
an address on Masonry by Past
Master w. A. Roane, Of Oxford,
and addless on Education by Hon.
b. L. Brewer, of Water Valley.
The services were enlivened by
an excellent string band. Mr.. T.
F. Miles, OF Banner, was the mas,
ter of ceremonies, and Prof. d. F.
Spradling delivered an eloquent
address of welcome.
The assembled hundreds were
fed to repletion with the choicest
!! of country cooking every visitor
being pressed with dozens of in
vitati0ns.
The distinguished visitors were,
Judge F. A. Ortiz, candidate for
governor, Mr.. Runnels, candidate
for secretary of state, Hon. w. G..
Stovall, candidate for railroad
commissioner, and Hon. w. p.
rackett, candidate for strict at
torney. The candidates were in.
troduced and made formal an
nouncements, but the day was
social and not political, and NO
speeches were made. The quiet,
bushwhacking work of Judge
Ortiz and his friends. however,
were most effective, and that sec
tion of the country will be found
safely for him.

county who we're present were,
