A statement recently made to Hon.
E. S. Gambler, congressman from the
First congressional district, by the
fourth assistant postmaster general,
gives the following interesting statis-
tics regarding the number of free de-
livery routes now in operation in the
several congressional districts and the
number now pending: First, II in op
Grafton and Sc pending; Second, in
operation and II pending; Third, none
in operation and pending; Fourth, rs
in operation and SO pending; Fifth, 81
in operation and 35 pending; Sixth,
in operation and pending; Seventh,
II in operation and II pending;
Eighth, in operation and G pending.
Total, 1853 in operation and 1856 pend
ing. This is a very creditable show
ing for the State, and is evidence that
our representatives in congress are
looking after our interests to some ex-
tent, anyway. Ere long the system
will spread all over the State, and the
remotest citizen will have his mail de-
livered at his door daily.
Still there is room for the citizens
of Mississippi to do something for
their State. All of our land should be
bringing the owner something in the
way of profit Every acre is suited for
some purpose, and what we want to
see is every acre producing something.
There are thousands of people in the
crowded districts of the North and
East that would come here and make
good citizens if they knew something
of our country and what it would pro-
duce, as well as what the land could
be bought for.

irish Potatoes were selling from $l.50
to sl.75 per bushel. We were greatly
surprised when we landed here, 10 find
potatoes selling in the stores at let
per pound. One of the things we had
t0.learn, was that the word potatoes in
this part Of the country always means
Irish Potatoes, because they can not
raise sweet potatoes here, although Is

Blue Mou.ltains they can raise such
plants as sweet potatoes, watermolons,

these facts:
Young farmers under 81 years of age,
the sons of wealthy farmers, will some
times buy heavily on the strength Of
their prospects. Then, before they ar.
rive at maturity, they will take the bene-
tit OF the bankruptcy law. Having
wiped the slate clear of their indebted.
ness, they come into possession of their
share OF the estate. And to do this they
will sometimes run the risk of peni.
tcntiary sentence.
The young fellows, it is sail, regard
this sort of manenver to beat theil
creditors as Smart"

They have gained a few hundred dol
lars worth of stuff perhaps. But
They have lost the most valuable as

TRIUMPH OF MODERN SURGERY
ISAAC 81. CORNELL.

TRIUMPH OF MODERN SURGERY
Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed en-
tirely; bones are spliced; pipes take the
place of diseased sections of veins; anti
septic dressings are applied to wounds,
burns, bruises and like injuries before
inflammation sets in, which causes them
to heal without maturation and in one-
third Of the time required by the old
treatment. Chamberiain's Pain Balm
acts on this same principle. 1t is an
antiseptic and when applied to such in,
juries, causes them to healsery quickly
It also allays the pain and soreness.
Keep bottle Of Pain Balm in your
home and it will save you time and
money, not to mention the inconvenience
and suffering which such injuries entail.
