there came upon -the-Corn wild

She seemed to be followed by pack OF

the leadership.
She turned abruptly and ran on Per-

action kept her from freezing to death. She
continued till the breath was almost out OF
her body. Before her. under the pulsing
green glow of the Aurora. the toothed edges
of the volcanic crater stood up. She
paused less because she was out of breath
than because she seemed to have some dim
sort of previous knowledge of the place. to
which, all unwittingly, her feet had carried
her.
Once she heard again crying as of
wolves across the waste. the longdrawn
bowling as of many dogs In pain which
(once heard is never forgotten. Anything
less like the giving tongue of pack can
not well be imagined.
But to Frances Wildwood. who had that
night supped so full of terrors. this brought
no new anxiety. though the sound would

are of the same height. To the uninitiated,
the sight of these hundreds of packages
scampering, slipping, sliding toward the
various bins seems confusion, but each
runway carries it's own passengers, so to
speak. and it is seldom that the wagon
man, on emptying his bin and checking off
his packages, finds anything mis-routed
The bins look like small stalls. divided

by the clerks on the inside. the driver
checks up his packages with the schedules
and from that moment the responsibility
of the package becomes his. The inside
clerks have done their part.
Right here many mistakes in address
are discovered. In large cities the dis

PAINE'S

THE GREAT rIEDICENE.
THE GREAT rIEDICENE.
: Mr.. ALFRED BROWN.
Prominent and Popular Citizen. Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound.
Am Now In the Best of Health"

The greatest OF modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D., IL. d., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women ms
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that Il had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by Dr.. Phelps regarding his inoompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion Of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown. OF
O'Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr. Brown S
letter fully demonstrates the fact thar the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrIvaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says
"I acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. / had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost al
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. / was also treated BY several of

my case.

ton. / could not 60 from the house alone,

hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came to me. l could not sleep; anything that

weak, restless, tired, and despondent; was
obliged to walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at time.
"After the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for a time, am now IN the best of
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food. Thank God l am my old self
once more, all through the use of Paine's

THE NEW CAPITOL.

Wednesday was a proud day
for Mississippians, marking as it
did the formal dedication of the
magnificent new capitol building
which has just been constructed
at q cost of one million dollars
and which was built without the
issuance of bonds or the levying
of any special tax upon the peo-
pie, the money for the erection of
the building having been obtained
from other sources, principally
from the back taxes which have
been collected by State Revenue
Agent Writ Adams, and even
through those who were forced
to pay this money might have
conscientiously considered it a
hardship at the time, its payment
really meant little to them in
dollars and cents, for had not the
money been secured in this way
it would have become necessary
to issue bonds. which the people
would have been taxed to pay.
The Memphis Commercial APP
peal and the New Orleans Times
Democrat both issued special
editions in honor of the occasion,
and the edition Of the latter
paper is Of particular interest to
readers of The Commercial, as it
contains articles by two former
Columbians, Capt. r. w. Banks
and his talented daughter, Miss
Lucille Webb Banks. Capt.
Banks article is descriptive of
the thriving city of Greenwood,
while the facile pen of his gifted
daughter paints in a most attrac-
tive manner the lives and char
acters of number of Mississippi
women who have achieved dis
tinction in the world of literature,
music and art. This article is
copiously illustrated, among the
portraits that it contains being
one of Miss Matte Lou Brown,
the accomplished mistress of vo-
cal music at the Industrial Insti-
tute and College.
Mississippi is a grand old state,
and is coming to the front not
only in educating her women and
fitting them for positions in the
highest walks of life, but in COM
mercial and industrial pursuits as
we'll, and will soon lead in the
manufacture of cotton as we'll as
in the making of it, for her ad-
vantages are manifold and her
