Save the Children.

Ninety-nine of every one hundred
diseases that children have are due to
disorders of the stomach, and these
disorders are all caused by indigestion.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is just as good
for children as it is for adults. Chill
dren thrive on it. 1t keeps their little
stomachs sweet and encourages their
growth and development. Mrs. Henry
Garter, 705 Central street, Nashville,
Tenn, says: "My little boy is now
three years old and has been suffering
from indigestion ever since he was
born. I have had the best doctors in
Nashville, but failed to do him any
good. After using one bottle of Kodol
he is a we'll baby. / recommend it TO
all sufferers. Kodol digests what you
eat aud makes the stnmach sweet

The "GrasS Widow"

"The origin of the term grass wild
ow," SAID philologist, 'is guzzling.
Some say it came from the French
that it was originally grace widow
that is, widow by grace, or courtesy.
Others say it derives from the old En-
glish custom of mans hanging out
broom when his wife was away over
night. To hang out the broom was
common phrase. When the thing was
done the meaning was that the house
had b, en- swept clear of the wife's pres
ence, and the husbands friends were
to visit him and do as they pleased. In
time, instead of hanging out broom,
the husband came to hang out only a
bunch of grass. Thus he grew to be
called grass widower, and his wife a
grass widow. '"--Philadelphia Record.

A colored preacher recently enlight-

IN answer to an inquiry, if he would be willing to meet in extra ordinary session of the legislature at his own expense to pass an ap- propriation bill for the relief of the deaf mute institution, this bill being one of the job-lot vetoed by Gov. Davis after the close of the general assembly, Senator J. B.. Wood of Marianna says: ''I cannot, consistent with my self respect, concur in the plan pro- posed by Senator Matlock for an extra session of the legislature to straighten out a muddle caused by the cussedness of Jeff Davis, even if one of the states most worthy institutions is the sufferer. The law provides, in case of emergency, how the legislature can be convened in extra session, and 1 for one don't propose ito re- lieve Davis of the responsibility by a contribution of my time and efforts" ;"

THE state of Arkansas at pres ent owes to private parties only S22,500. This really represents the outstanding debt, for the req : son that the other money owed by the state is owned by the state. The public school fund is re- presented by outstanding bonds to the amount of S1, 118 400, and on these bonds the state pays 3 per cent annually, but no effort will be made to pay off these bonds, as the school fund must re- main permant and it is considered that this investment is probably the best that can be made.

THERE are some very interest," ing and important state cam paigns this year, notwithstanding the fact that it is what is known as "an off year. The cam paign, already on in Ohio, prom ises to be hot one. Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland has an- nounced his determination to de- feat Sen ator Hanna for the sen- ate by securing the election of a legislature hostile to the junior senate from Ohio. While there is no reason to believe that John- son can accomplish this end, it is appreciated that the Ohio re- publicans must be prepared to make good fight and no mem- Der of congress can be spared from the field in advance of the voting. In Rhode Island there is also a peculiar condition and one requiring close attention. IIC oOtlioOi dUO IIetN oLl precedented gains in that state and as Senator Aldrich will go before the legislature next year for re-election it is most import ant that the lost ground be recov- cred in the approaching cam paign. It is the intention of the republican leaders in that state to conduct a whirlwind campaign with the hope of sweeping all be- fore them and it may become necessary for Senator Aldrich personally to superintend the fight. Situations almost as in- teresting exist in other states and for that reason the republican politicians are hoping that the President will not impose on the members of congress national duties at time when their ser- vices are needed by their party Tn their OWE states.

THE man who pays his bills promptly is always welcome at the wholesale or retail establish
