SIOO Reward. SIO0.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded Eisease that science has been able to cure in all stages and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh bcing consti- tutional disease, requires consti- tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting di- rectly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the con- stitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

THE BEE CORRECTED
Statement From the Committee Concerning the Bees Re- port of the Speaking
 at Sulphur Rock.
Editor The Journal

Editor The Journal
 We the undersigned members of the different committees having in charge the arrangements for the picnic which was had at Sulphur Rock on October 2nd, have had our attention called to an anony- nous article published in last weeks Bee under the caption: Echoes from Sulphur Rock" and pur- porting to be report or some thing of the sort of the picnic, but in fact IS an article written by some one who conceals himself from the public.
 And purporting to be a report or something of the sort of the picnic, but in fact is an article written by some one who conceals himself from the public.
 After q careful perusal of the same we unhesitatingly denounce 1t as fragrant deception, a false, slanderous and scurrilous report, an unwarranted attack upon Jeff Davis, and reflection upon the kind and hospitable people who entertained the governor of our state upon that occasion, as we'll as the good name of the community and those who were in attendance upon the picnic generally; and that the article is clearly intended to prejudice voters against the candi- cacy of Jeff Davis for governor, and without cause.
 So far as the committees know and they have made some inquiry concerning the matter-the con- duct of each and all the candidates for governor was without fault and above reproach.
 This statement is applicable al so to an editorial contained in the Bee of the same issue only so far as 1t relates to the conduct of Jeff  at Sulphur Rock, and reflects up- on the people here, and which we excuse as being founded upon the anonymous and vile echo which we

The Necessity for System
 and Method.

There is today, as there has been in the past, crying need for me- thodical, systematical education. The cratic, the changeable meth cd will not do, 1t must be put aside. The boy who is trained to arise at a certain hour, dine at special hours, and have a particular time for every duty, and then conforms with this training is the one who is going to make the successful busi- ness man in later years. It is nev- CT too soon to begin this training either. The sooner the better. And if children may not get this train ing at home 1t were far better that they be sent away to the var ious schools, collegs, and institutes, where 1t may be received.
 The naval and military training schools, established and maintain ed by the United States govern ment are about the best institutes in this respect to be found in this country.
 The majority of young Ameri- cans at the present day are not compelled to follow any set form of rules or methods, except proba- bly, at the schools. But system is just as necessary in the home life as in the scholastic, and parents can not be too persevering in the making and enforcing of rules for regularity and uniformity in habits and training.
 It is a great mistake to compel a child to conform to the rules of the school he attends, only so long as he is under the eye of the in- structor. He should have rules to follow both at home and at school.
 Aside from its commercial and industrial advantage there is also physical betterment. To delay and put off until the last moment and then to rush in and by an almost superhuman effort accomplish the task on hand, causes more strain on the body than twice the work done systematically and continu- ously.
 System and method are the foundation of all the success, all the wealth, all the good, all the life in fact that abounds in this great world.
 Without them we would be fail ures, bankrupts and derelicts.
 The boy who studies, works or plays by fits and starts is the man who in the future puts off, lays aside his business for some trife, and later loses all.
 System is necessity, an exi- gency, an essentiality, and it's need is more and more felt each succeed ing day and year.
 These are the keys to success which should be placed in the hands of every boy of the present day. / n L

LIFE IN AN AQUARIUM.
Various Ways in Which the Fishes
Head Up Against the Current.

The current set up by the inf1owing
water in circulating aquarium tank
makes a complete circuit of the tank
The fishes in such tank often head
lp against this current for the sake of
the air there is in it. Most commonly
when they do this they get right down
at the intake opening, where the flow
is strongest, which is TO them like what
sitting at an open window where q
strong breeze was blowing in would be
to humans. The fishes may not all be
able to get right at the opening, and
so they cluster around it or near II,
getting as close to it as they can.
