of straight humanity, with hair as
black as a ravens wing and with
frosted beard like the ancient
mariner, was introduced by the
facetious chairman as the hand
soonest candidate in the bunch.
He spoke to the people as neigh
Dor, and insisted upon his right
to the nomination. His speech
was short, pungent and had a sill
yer ring, of the Bryan stamp.
Then r. w. McNair and John I.
Marshall spoke out from amidst
the chancery clerk glamour and
each thought he was the only peb-
BILE in the gravel pit. Carroll
Maxwell and Lonnie Kees, of Fair
River, put up a song and dance to
the tune of the assembly, Duncan
Magee joining in the chorus.
These gentlemen's speeches were
in short meter.
Short speeches followed from
Editor I. c. Temple, of the Bogue
Chitto 5ews, and Mr.. Woods, of
Adams Camp Ground. Chairman
Parsons then made a plea for
nest egg for the new high school
building, the trustees had decided
to erect. Without much feather
or fuss, the crowd laid the egg
whose size was about two hundred
dollars. The list was headed by
j. G. Cosnahan, with $25, after
which he told how, as a barefoot
boy, he began life in that neigh
borhood, earning fifty cents a day
and spending thirty of it for
board, when he engaged in mer-
camille pursuits, kept his stock of
goods in flat trunk and carried
them in a gunny sack. John
Welch, followed with $25, while
all the candidates shelled out five
dollars each for the privilege of
occupying the platform and help
ing on a >laudable enterprise.
Elder Scarborough declared he'd
give his in preaching-dispensing
ten dollar sermons at the minis
terial cut rate.
The jolly crowd enjoyed the
day to the full. Among the many
visitors on hand in the afternoon
were: DR.. Hewitt, Roe. Hun
sucker, Editor Temple, W. P.
Prestridge, of Bogue Chitto, DR..
Van Martin, of Cold Springs,
D. G. Lee, of Moak's Creek, A.
M. Summers, of Topisaw, Chas.
Chrisman, T. c. Montgomery, of
Brookhaven, w. A. Brown, of
Montgomery church, Prof. H. A.
Bigner, of Fair River, Hugh
Craft, Jos. Belden, Fred Lotter-
hos, of McComb.
At night the program was fur
nished by the school children.
The music, speaking and short
drama were rendered with the u.s.
ual ardor and excellency of school
pupils. All was greatly enjoy
ed by the big night crowd.
During the summer the new
building will be erected. Prof.
Russell, the interchangeable person
atty in the movement, intends to
give Mt. Pleasant and the sur
rounding country school where
students may thoroughly equip
themselves for commercial life
and a useful future. In connec-
ton with the regular curriculum,
music and elocution will be given
prominence. kindergarten work
will be taken up in the primary
department. Desks and up-to-the-
minute furnishings will constitute
the interior equipment. The in
terest of those most nearly en-
gagged is alive to the possibilities
of the new school departure and
are ready to follow Prof. Russell
to the last mile stone. B.

Paine's Celery
Compound
Cures
DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION,
AND STOMACH TROUBLES.

The tonures and evils of dyspepsia and
indigestion are experienced by thousands at
this time. The dyspeptic's train of evils
may be enumerated as follows: feelings of
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache, distension of the stomach, loss of
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action of the
heart is seriously affected.
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly banishcd
by the use of Paine's Celery Compound.
The use of this marvellous medicine allays the
inflammation Of the nerves centred about the
stomach; it opens up the sewers of the body
and removes all waste matter; it cleanses the
blood; it makes new nerve fibre; it restores
digestive power, and promotes bodily strength
and activity. Mr.. Fred. Ross, Clarendon,
Iowa, briefly writes about his happy expert
ence with Paine's Celery Compound as
follows:-
at gives me great pleasure 10 testify 10 the
merits of Paine's Celery Compound. l can
candidy and honestly say it is the best medi-
cine in the world. Two years ago was suf-
fering from indigestion and nervousness, and
was SO run down that l could hardly walk
without help. used two bottles of Paine's
Celery Compound and got better almost from
the first dose, and have had noHse for medi-
cine since. l was completely cured"

Can BE Avoided Hy Using Duny's Pure
Malt Whisky in Drinking

WcAeFs
During hot wessSer people become
very careless Of their health and fatal
results will follow. Duffy's Pure Malt
Whisky taken IN every glass Of drink
ing water will prevent distressing
summer complaints. such as diarrhoea
dysentery and bowel troubles. It Is
retained by the weakest stomach.
Duf's Pure Malt whisky has been
before the people of two continents
for half a century. and has carried ths
blessings of health to over a million
homes. yet It stands without a rival
today This is a most remarkable
career for any business house.
When you consider that it has had
steady growth for SO years. and is
now thought more of by doctors and
the public than ever before. you must
admit that it has the quality and con
tains medicinal properties never found
in any other whisky or combination
Of drugs
This whisky has been tested thou
sands Of times by the most eminent
chemists in the world. and each and
every time It was found to be abso
lutely pure, free from fusel oil or any
other dangerous ingredients It IS
Always of ,ne same quality and
strength. This accounts for the great
favor it has found in the homes oi
the people.
During all this time there have been
many imitators Of this valuable
whisky, many substitutes ofered for
it, but each one in turn died a natur
al death, because the goods had nc
merit.
Every one is cautioned against these
so-called malt whiskys which are of
fered for sale from time to time by
unreliable dealers who know Of the
great virtue Of Du6's Pure Malt
Whisky. When you ask for Duff;

Son Of Governor Receives Appoint
ment From Delegate Mcclure.
Walter Ferguson, the eldest son OF
Governor Ferguson, has been appoint
ed for cadetship in the United States
naval academy at Annapolis by Bird
S. Mcclure. The young man was
graduated this spring from the Went
worth military school at Lexington.
Mo. and the fact that he is a gradu-
ate from this military school Is suf-
fcient to admit him TO the academy
without examination. He is supposed
to report for duty on the sixteenth of
ihe month at Annapolis, He viii re-
turn here some time this week from
Lexington. IT trains are operated
through the flooded districts OF Miss
ouri and Kansas The appointment
is rot the regular one. but is on ac-
count Of demand for more cadets
The regular appointment viii be made
next year by ihe delegate to congress-
also the appointment to West Point.
Walter Ferguson Is seventeen years
of age and Kansas born. He has spent
the greater portion If his life in Okla
homa, although he has been attending
the military school az Lexing on.
While here last summer he was ap-
pointed a lieutenant in the Guthrie
company Of the Oklahoma National
Guard
In connection with the announce
ment that the young man has beea
lntminated for The navy It can be said
that Governor Ferguson at one time
took the examination for admission
to the naval academy The governor
passed the mental examination, but
was rejected in the physical test on
account of defective visltn. He states
that he has always regretted that he
could not make the navy and is anx-
ious for his son to make a name for
himself in the United States service.

Tsy the property owners OF Guthrie;
Can you give a reason. logical. or
why Guthrie with its many
railroads will not be within the short
space Of. two years a city Of $4,000
inhabitants? Why It win not be the

west? Why Il should not with its
excellent railroad facilities erect a
cotton mill? It's in as good cotton
belt as any OF the mill towns Of
Georgia and a. bucket brigade
would look awful good
Why the real estate opportunities
here don't offer better investments
than other cities OF like size on
earth? Why the railroads are all Sc
