them in stock, and sent to an old

back to ache just across the loins. |
found that Doan's Kidney Pills acted
as represented, and when / noticed
them advertised at a nearby drug

For Che Little Ones.

The children, God hess them. are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without then
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, il We expect
them to ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodleSs cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and witch
ings of limbs and muscles They complain oil
headache, drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds Of disease viii have
fast and finn hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore a perfect condition OF
health.
Thousands Of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor'
Gus by giving them natures medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and COM
plcated cases, paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given

giving virtues Of Paine's Celery Compound.

Monday Afternoon.

Trouble seldom comes single has
been most clearly exempli6ed in the
sad brief past of our fellow townsman,
+. B. Nixon. Only few weeks ago Mr..
Nixon was called to Nevada, Mo-, in
answer to a telegram announcing the
serious illness of his aged mother.
Shortly sitter the arrival at the home
of his youth the life of his mother
went out and her soul returned to the
God who does all things well.
With aching heart and downcast
spirits MIR. Nixon returned to thus city
and Monday received a telegram
announcing that his aged father had
Joined his life companion in death and
had gone to his reward last night at
11:4O. The blow is sad one and the
sympathy Of all go out to Mr.. Nixon
in his awful affection. Mr.. Nixon
left that night for Nevada to at

DRY DUNKLIN.
Local Option County Bewailing Her

Dunklin county is dry and sorry for
it. The following articles clipped from
the Dunkln Democrat, published at

option really is:
"The jug trade is exceedingly good,
this week, the principal supply COM
ing from Pemiscot county, through
Ssnsth, Hornersville and Holcomb
contribute their share. There is prac-
tically no beer used here now, plain
red liquor being the rule. The boys
have not all learned to gauge the size
of their drinks out of a jug, and they
are frequently and Unexpectedly

SNGEEUP, BROTHER.
L Soto Editor The Most Yerdant
Thing That Ever Happened.

The DeSOtO Republican in an article
this week thinks that the local option
election in this county was close one
and sayslOcAl optionists will try the
game again shortly. Smoke up,
brother. Do Won think that a clean
majority Of I ,iSl a close race? Well,
that is Just how bad local option was
defeated in this ''close" county. The
statute Of the state will not allow an
election only every years, our YER
dant editor, and that is as soon as the
straw can be threshed over. Wake
up Mister Editor, you are about the
dullest thing we have heard of for a
long time. Here is what the De Soto
"wise one" says:
"a -ersl olunties in the state have
vot agAi option, especially is this
the Cas- al lie southern part of Mis-
souri,. Mississippi, Wayne aud Stod-
dard have all gone dry, and Butler
was SO close that the local optioaists
say that they will try ii again before a
great while. We understand that st.
Francis and Madison will in all proba-
bility, vote on the question soon."
But since Judge Fort and "other
capitalists" have purchased local
option raper in this county which
they will fight the anti-local optionists
with, the Jadge may order an election
every week % He seems to think him
self and the local option paper the
whole show, the fat lady aud the

CONSUMPTION

Salt pork IS a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scots Emulsionisthemod.
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.

No Quarrel on This.

The Democratic county convention
ON Saturday passed resolutions con-
demning the last legislative session
for its extravaganza in spending the
peoples money. The Democrats can't
get up any quarrel with the Republi-
cans on that proposition. The Re-
publicans Of Kansas have long ago
repudiated,the record Of that legisla-
ture and the governor who gave his
sanction to 1t.
The difference between the Demo
Gratis and Republicans is that the Re-
publicans recognize q mistake, take
steps to rectify 1t, and recover from
their error; the Democrats make mis-
takes all the time and never get
over 1t.
