Mi-o-na is not a mere digestive that

Mi-o-na is not a mere digestive that
simply gives temporary relief.
While it helps the food to digest, ii
also has spositive strengthening action
upon the digestive organs and puts the
whole system in proper physical con-
dition. 1t restores power to the nerves
of the stomach and in this way gives
that important organ the power to
digest food, In this way natural flesh
is regained and health restored.
Remember that you risk nothing in
buying Mi-o-na. The bond protects
you, so that if it fails to give the de.
sired effect, Crenshaw & Young will
return your money without question
and without argument.

stale, which shoa IS shout an average
outlook At the opening OF the crop
season A few localities report damage
to wheat and fruit from the recent
heavy rains and hail storms, especially
the extreme southeastern portion Of
the state, and the cool weather has
retarded form work somewhat, but
10 mos. sections early potatoes and
gardens have been planted and the
ground being vet, will be 10 excellent
condition with a few warm days for
starting the pastures, The winter
having been comparatively dry with
hard freezing, the soil is in good me-
chanicai condition for planting except
where it Is too wet from the recent
rains,
Whaat--On account of the prevalence
OF the Hesslan fly in the previous crop
and because OF drouth at seeding time
last fall. the bulk of the wheat r
was sown later than usual and as a
consequence had very little growth for
winter protection. Correspondents
from most every county report more
or less damage from the fall droutn
and from winter freezing. Favorable
weather from now on may make con.
sider"ble Improvement. The Hessiau
fly is reported 10 be in the wheat by a
number of Correspondents and there
is some apprehension Of future damage
from This cause. 1t is too early to
determine the damage from this SOU ce.
Ia nearly all cases the fly is reported il

EASY WAY TO CURE cATARRH
Breathe Hyomei and Kill all Catarrhal
Germs. Money Back if it Fails"
Says Chas. w. LOOMS.

NSAAASs hAOhNJ DuSh IL ~ 1lAo
Says Chas. w. LOOMS.
There is no dangerous stomach
drugging when using Hyomei. The
healing and aromatic balsams which
compose this wonderful treatment are
breathed through a neat pocket in
halCr that comes with every 81 outfit.
In this way, the germ-killing and
health-giving Hyomei penetrates to
the most remote cells of the lungs. 1t
searches out and kills disease germs in
the air passages of the head, throat and
nose, soothes and heals TIE irrita.ed
mucous membrane, and absolutely
drives catarrh from the system.
Such remarkable results have fol-
lowed the use of Hyomei by the best
people in Lexington, that Chas. w
LOOMS has the greatest confidence in
its power to cure catarrh. He believes
in it so thoroughly that he will give
personal guarantee to refund the money
if it does % cure, the purchaser to be
sole Judge.
This is an unusual offer and the first
time that any medicine or treatment
for the cure of catarrh has been sold in
this way. Fit cures, the expense is
trihing, while it fails, the cost is abso-
lutely nothing,
If you are fortunate enough not to
be troubled with catarrh, tell your
friends of Chas. w. LOOMS offer and
get them to take advantage Of it.

that at the next session Of the pos

successful, as we have the cooper
alton of England and Germany.
We are also at work to secure
at least six days mail each week

have four-day sailings and are
confident that BY arrangements BY
the great lines we shall have six

STRAIGHT Talk iron the Clarion Ledger

Il
The following article from the
Clarion Ledger Of Wednesday has
the right ring and its sentiment
should be endorsed by all good
citizens Of the Capital City and
Rankin county. The only amend
ment The Leader would offer to
what the Clarion, Ledger says is,
THAT when the proposed hanging
begins, the outraged people in
IcIude in the necktie party a few
officials who are not doing their
duty:
1t is currently reported that
the blind tigers across the river,
where the terrible tragedy of Sat
lurday night took place, are again
in full blast. In fact it has been
stated that business was suspend
ed for only short time after the
killing of Pickett, and that when
the coroner's jury went there Sun
day to investigate the shooting,
while there were no liquid re-
freshments about the premises, at
the same time it was evident from
numerous physical signs, that
business had been conducted up
to, within a few minutes Of the ar
rival of the officers.
In view Of what has SO recent
lily occurred, the many indignities
to which the people of jackson
and the citizens OF Rankin, who in
coming to jackson are forced to
pass by these dens of iniquity, are
evidences that there should be
some concert of action between
the officials and the people Of the
1.-TWO counties, and If necessary to
break up these hell-holes, the
woods ought to be fred, and every
possible habitation Of a blind til
ger destroyed.
"Vicksburg once arose in her
wrath and hanged a lot Of gam
oilers.
San francisco, on more than
one occasion, had recourse to a
vigilance committee to rid that
city and section of murderers and
thieves, and it was only few
| years ago when New Orleans, inn
pressed with the Importance Of
1.-THE step, hanged a lot of Italians,
members of the famous Malta
gang, in order to punish where
| the law had failed to convict the
cowardly murderers of Chief of
Police Hennessy. It is therefore
not unreasonable to suggest that
| the law-abiding people of this
city. and Rankin county may yet
be called on to take the matter in
to their own hands, even if a lit
tie hanging has to be done, in or
der to break up the resorts across
| the river. =

Wood Alcohol Factories.

Mississippi is to have the only
wood alcohol factory ia the world
which uses yellow pine from
which to distill the alcohol. This
factory is now in course of erec-
ton at Hattiesburg BY the Lig-
mum Product Company. At first
the Company decided to put up a
factory which would employ be-
tween fifty and seventy FIVE
hands, but It has been determined
now to greatly enlarge the faeto-
ny, which, when completed, will
give employment to about 100
hands. Before the Company de-

It'll wood alcohol from yellow
pine, it made some extensive exs
periments, and it was found that
this material was all chat could be
desired for making this useful ar
