An effort was made this week 20
release Birch Hollier-convicted of
bootlegging and serving out fines of
$500 in the county iail-but as Jailor
Noonon knew that no one but the
governor of the state had any right to
cause the release of convicted prisoners,
he refused to turn them out 10 this
connection we desire to say that the
will of the people of Hickman is that
these men, convicted of the crime oil
bootlegging, pay the penalties assessed
against them by the courts. and that it
is their intention to see that the letter
of the law against bootlegging is carried
out. The friendly Offices of some of
our citizens in behalf of these boot
leggers Will avail them nothing but the
disapprobation of the people. and the
sooner they realize this fact. the better
il will be for them We decline to men
tion lanes for their owners good. and
hope that in this, as in other cases,
word 10 the wise Is sufficient.

HOW TO PREvrvT GROUP.

II will be good news TO he mothers
of small children TO learn thar Group
can be prevented. The first sign of
Group is hoarseness. A day or to before
the attack the child becomes hoarse.
This is soon followed by peculiar rough
cough. Give Chamberlain Cough
Remedy freely AS soon as the child be-
comes hoarse. or even after the rough
cough appears. aud il will dispel all
symptoms OF Group. In this way ali
danger and anxiety may be avoided.
This remedy is used by many thousands
OF mothers and has never been known
to fail. 1t is. in fact. the only remedy
that can ALWAYS be depended upon and
that is pleasant and safe TO take. For
