Tupelo Graded Schools.

To Parents:
After the close OF the LIST scholastic
month, on Oct. 8, no new pupils will be
admitted to the first grade until the

by the crowded condition of the first

forming new classes to meet the needs Of
those entering in the midst OF term
1t is urged that all parents desiring to
enter children in first grade should do SO
at once.
The above rule applies to the first
grade only.

"Let Us Be United"

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: "Let
us be united Yes, that's the
countersign all along the line from
Maine to Alaska. I'm unity there is
strength" and if the men who battled
for the integrity and preservation of our
National Union ever expect to have JUS
tice done them they must at this late day
stand shoulder to shoulder. and as in
days gone by march as a united army of
brave men, demanding of our great, grand,
powerful and proud American Nation,
Nation which they saved, and which they
have helped make, that Il service pension
shall be granted to each man who stood
Il living bulwark against treason during
the dark days from 81 to 90. Comrades,
let us rally en- masse, and victory is ours.
Let us not cease to remind our honor
able representatives in Congress that their
anti-election sympathy for the old soldiers
must hold coed during their term of office.
Hot-tomale campaign-taffy has become
stale, and the men who by valOrous deeds
and untold hardships made it possible for
America to become the brightest star in
the galaxy of Nations have claim upon
their countrymen far greater than mere
sympathy. A service pension of So per
month is as little as great Republic like
ours should be willing to grant to the
aged and crippled men who gave the best
days of their young manhood in defense of
our National Union. Are we great Ma
zion of free people luXuriating in wealth
and prosperity? If so, then make the men
who made it possible for our Nation to be-
come great, happy in their declining years
by knowing that the greatest of Republics
is not ungrateful to its saviors.
When treason throttled the goddess of
liberty, and our ship of state was rolling
and plunging in Rebellions fierce gale, the
noblest of Americas sons marched be-
81 L. nr E.,
four long, agonizing years, on many memo
rabie battletields fought brave men and
at last crushed treason and brought peace
back to our fair land. These same men,
each one unit of that mighty host of men
who camped with Grant in the Wilderness
and followed Sherman triumphant to the
sea, now in their declining years, beg of
the Nation which they helped save SER
vice pension as token of their country's
gratitude. Is there anything wrong in
this?
Has our Nation in the pride of her great
power and wealth forgotten how near she
came to being wiped from the earth as
world power?
Has she forgotten the men who in her
dark hours of peril needed her cries for
aid, and willingly faced the firing line and
gave to chance the care and keeping of
their lives! Let us hope not; rather let
us believe that our Republic is not I'M
grateful, and will yet aid those who aided
her when the tramp of great armies and
the war of aostile guns made her shake
with fear. Whenever every ex-Unon sol
der is granted service pension of So
per month then it will be in order to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of pensioning ex-
slaves, and Confederate veterans, and not
before.
Comrades, speak your mind on this sub
ject. We have kept quiet too long. If
We don't agitate what we consider is lust,
and strive to get hearing, the powers
that be will not champion our cause

Statistics show that one person in
every four has weak heart, and that
weak hearts are as common as weak
stomach. lungs, kidneys, etc.
While person might have heart dis
ease for twenty years and not know it,
the symptoms are plain if understood.
Since the heart cireulates the blood and
distributes nourishment to every organ.
it is not strange that the symptoms fire.
quently seem to Indicate the weakness Of
some organ other than the heart.
A weak heart never cures itself. 1t
grows constantly worse. A slight extra
strain upon the heart will cause it to
futter and palpitate. Soon there will be
pain and tenderness in the left side and
IN the region of the heart: there viii be
shortness of breath after slight exertion,
such as climbing stairs. walking running,
sweeping, singing. talking. etc. From this
condition it is but step to smntheriug
spells at night, the blood becomes thin,
the circulation poor, the eytremities be-
come cold and often become swollen DUR
ing the day time.
Neglected, a weak heart soon becomes
n diseased heart. A diseased heart means
fatty degeneration. dilatation or enlarge
ment of the heart. 1t means a chronic
weakness about which hovers the awful
shadow of sudden death.
If you have any of the symptoms noted
above You should give DIR. Miles Heart
Cure trial. A weak heart cannot be
rested. it can only be helped by outside
aid, such as DIR. Miles Heart Cure alone
can give. 1t strengthens the nerves
which control the hearts action. chang
ing the irregular pulse to the steady beat
of a healthy heart; it enriches the blood
and drives out the impurities and by
creating new and sufficient supply of
rich, red blood for the nDuriShIppnt of
the entire body and its various organs,

toms of a weak heart with restful sleep,

A NEW GAMBLING FORTRESS.
A Splendid Palace Now Being Erected in
New York City.
(New York Commercial-Advert

New York ommercial-Advertiser.)
An extremely interesting description is
published in the Sun or this morning of
a citadel which one of our most eminent
gambler barcns is erecting lin our midst ,
1t is situated in FOrty-ffth street, just
off Fifth avenue, and is to be as nearly
impregnable as steel and oak can make
it. All the windows are to have screen
iron gates behind their cOlored glass, built
into the castings and capable of being
drawn ut q moments notice, or at the
sound of tip" Massive oak and steel
bound doors will guard the entrance,
which would try the strength of bat
tering ram" All the rear windows will
be protected with iron bars, heavy iron
gate will guard the area entrance to the
basement, and the door within the gate
will be heavily buttressed aud fortified.
The entrance from the roof will be
guarded by heavy iron door. Finally,
the heavy doors at the main entrance
have the usual peep-hole, with sliding
panel, through which the usual colored
person may keep a sharp eye upon the
approach and sound the warning for
drawing all the steel gates at doors and
windows.
Within the fortress there will be lux
ury and artistic elegance without regard
to expense. There will be a 10000 mar
BILE staircase, a great room, occupying the
entire parlor floor, with a ceiling ''one
blaze of gold leaf, worked into fan
tastic designs" with walls in white
and gold, with marble pillars, with cost
Iy works of art hanging from wall and
column. and with furniture which in re-
fined beauty will rival the Chippendale
collection in the chaste home of art
collecting Garfield. Incidentally. there
will be elegant gambling paraphernalia
of all kinds scattered through the rooms.

THE PRESIDENTS TOUR.
Long Trip Doubled-Many Speeches. Nu-
merous Stops. With Trips to the Yellow
stone and Yosemite.

Stone anu xOSemlte.
The President will be absent on his
western trip exactly 66 days. He will
travel 14.0OO miles. He will make his
first speech in Chicago April 2, and his
last one of the trip ut Decatur, ILL.,, June
1. But in between he will make the circle
OF the western part of the United States
twice, as he will return from the North
west Territory in time to be at the dedica-
ton of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
at st. Louis April 80. He will thea turn
west again and visit California and the
Yosemite. where he will spend at least a
week. Up in Wyoming the President will
take a horseback trip from Laramie to
Cheyenne, which he will reach May 80,
and he will deliver the Memorial Day
speech. It is estimated that the largest
crowd which ever gathered in one place
in the history of the town will congregate
in Cheyenne on May 30.
1t will be magnificent trip. such ms no
other President ever undertook, and one
that very few men could endure. for aside
from the fatigue of travelling almost con-
tinually for &C days, the President will
speak on an average of six times day.
Short talks it is true, some of them scarce
ly two minutes in length, but the fatigue
will be immense. While in Oregon. the
President will lay the cornerstone of the
Lewis and Clark Monument. and he will
also lay the cornerstone of the Y. NJ. G. A.
Building in Topeka, Kans. He will adj
dress the students of many colleges and
the members of many business and finan-
cial associations. but no political conven.
tions. He eschews throughout the trip all
politics and all reporters except those who
accompany him.
