MNCON'S BRIDGE BILL.

 The bill passed the Senate by unan' ,aous vo'e last Wednesday and is now the INV urless vetoed by the president, which is not at all probable. In stat ing that the bill directly benefits more citizens of this district than any meas nre that has been introduced in Con gress in twenty years" the utterance malediction of the Jonesboro Enter prise which regards the bill as fool Ish one, and MT. Macon as a very fool. ish statesman for introducing il. But notwithstanding the opposition of the Enterprise the people of the dist,itt generally regard the measure as a very important one. A Col. Driver, a lead ing citiZ-n of Mississippi county, said a few days since: We have been wanting that bill passed for ten years and try Ing to get it done, but Macon did 1t in about three months when he went at It. Every visitor to Memphis will save fifty cents in bridge toll as d It. suit of the Macon bill and as people irem this district are crossing the river on that bridge every day 1t means the Iy to the people of the district to say nothing of the great saving to the peo- pie of the state generally.

TAKE THAT WHICH PLEASES

When you go into a cafe and take up the bill of fare, no matter low hungry you may be, there will appear to your vision many items of food which you do not like.
 You are not expected 10 eat what you don't like, and you pass these things up for other persons who are fond of just the things Chat you can't bear.
 It should be exactly the same way with newspaper.
 .-. The newspaper, like the bill of fare, IS made up of sundry and various items, so that tho most tastidious may find something in lts columns which they may digest with benefit or pleasure. Like as you feed your stomach with paIa. table food, selected from the bill of fare, also feed your mind from tho newspaper With those things which benefit or please you,
 Read what you liko-mentally consume. that which appeals to you, and leave the unpalatablc things for those for whom they have fascination.
 Again: When you see some thing in the paper about yourself which frets you, remember that you made the cause, and don't gel mad at the editor.
 Remember, especially, at such [ time, all the many nice things tha' the editor has printed about yol ia times gone ty, and don't eve get an idea into your head tha the editor prints any item througl nance, envy or spite.
 Just short time ago gentle man, whom we esteem very highly Of whom we have written man very complimentary items, becam CAended at little news item i this paper and has withdrawn Iii patronage,
 Of course he has that right witt cut question from us, but whe enc thinks of if, one cannot hel thinking how urjust.to the edilo this party has been, and how ur iustifabie and how uncalled fo h'S acts may appear to person
 who have broader view of lii and friendships.

Exposure

To cold draughts of air. to keen and cut ting winds, sudden changes of tempera- ture, scanty clothing, undue exposure of the throat and neck after public speaking and singing, bring on coughs and colds. Balard's Horehound Syrup is the best cure.
