church. In 1896. This church was burned soon af-

William T. McGuirl. the dead priests successor.
BY strange coincidence Bishop Mcdonnell has
now transferred Father McGuirI from the Church
of the Visitation to succeed Father Gallagher as
pastor of ST. Michaers parish. He took charge on
last Sunday.
The funeral of Father Gallagher which was held
June %. the Wednesday after his death. was an

The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1904-03-03

Pneumonia IS too dangerous disease
for anyone to attempt to doctor himself,
although he may have the proper rem
edies at hand. A physician should al
ways be called. 1t should be borne in
mind, however, that pneumonia always
results from cold or from an attack of
the grip, and by the proper treatment of
these diseases a threatened attack OF
pneumonia may be warded off. There
is no question whatever about this, as
during the thirty years and more that
Chsmberlain's Cough Remedy has heen
used, we have yet to learn of a single
case of a cold or attack of the grip having
resulted in pneumonia when this remedy
was used. 1t is also used by physicians
in the treatment of pneumonia with the
best results. DR.. w. j. Smith, of San
ders. Ala, who is also druggist, says
fit: 81 havebeen selling Chamberlain's

FEW WORDS FROM AN OLD
RANKIN BOY.

In remitting the News from Woods,
Texas, Eugene johnson writes as
follows.
"You may say to our friends in old
Rankin that we, of east Texas, have
been blessed with exceptionally fine
weather through this winter, and as a
natural consequence have enjoyed fine
health, being comparatively free from
colds, lagrippe, etc.
EARN work is progressing nicely,
some having planted corn. People
here have the same weakness that
characterize the farming class every
where and are going wild on cotton :.
Guano was almost unknwon here until
about three years ago, but there will
be great DEAL of it used this year.
