TY sN88Ie GERMS.

The microscope shows that in the blood
Of every person suffering from typhoid the
little germs can be found as shown above.
They are supposed TO get into the water or
milk we drink The germs multiply so
that one germ Is capable of producing
about one hundred triilion germs in TWEEN
ty-four hours That Is why il they ever
get into the water supply OF a town they
multiply so fast that nearly everybody
drinking the water comes down with the
disease. There are exceptions, however,
and they are the persons whose health is
perfect whose blood is pure, and liver
active. When the germs get into healthy
body they are thrown Oh with the other
poisons. Recent Chicago statistics show
that one-eighth of all the deaths in the
past two years IN that city have resulted
from pneumonia.
The best advice we can give In 10 put the
body into perfectly sound, healthy condi-
ton. Be assured that you have rich, red
blood aud an active liver.

Mr.. Blunt came here from Huntsville,

worthy Of the esteem in which he was
held. 1t could be truly said of him:
"He never spoke an unkind word OF
anyone" u recommendation very few

brother, all who live in Huntsville, be-
sides hosts of friends there and in our
city to mourn his untimely death.
The body was sent to Huntsville
where it was laid to rest beside the
loved ones gone before The grave

Needed improvements.

The business OF the Journal demands
some improvements in the Off &c in
order that we may keep up with the
growing business OF the paper. 1t is
our purpose TO put in an engine to
run the presses as the work has grown
to such proportions that we can no
longer do the work without some mo-
tive power. In order to do this we
find it necessary to collect all out
standing Indebtedness which will enable
us to equip the Office as it needs to he
with the latest and most improved
methods in the printers art. Those
who are in arrears will confer n great
favor by coming forward with their
dues which we have carried for some
OF them for several years.

Bank of Tupelo.

At II meeting OF the directors OF the
Bank of Tupelo. on Wednesday last it
was decided that the capital stock
should be increased to one hundred
thousand dollars, or double it's present
amount. This move made it necessary
to charge off it's surplus and undivided
p otits which had grown to be so large
that the dividend will be over 100 per
cent. and which will be prorated among
the present stockholders. The new stock
will be sold at par and will be discreetly
placed in hands that will bring business
to the bank. Especial attention will also
be given to the increase of business OF
the city. The success of this institution
has been phenomenal. 1t has had an un-
interrupted course OF prosperity and has
been ably managed. On the LIST OF Feb
ruary the new regime will be installed
and a board OF directors to which two
new additions will be made. Thirty
days will be allowed for placing the new
stock.

Shelby Tops White sale.

By invitation we went into the fine
dry goods store Of Shelby Topp, to taEe
a look at the display of white goods on
sale there. We found an elaborate and
artistic arrangement of the goods and
saw what our lady friends would call a
feast OF immaculate linens, e%mLroider-
les, %laces, handkerchiefs, co~unterpanes
towels, etc, all of which are being sold
at ten per cent. discount of usual prices.
The store is festooned from end to end
in a most attractive manne and every
thing is so white and clean looking that
we felt the chill of a snow bank breeze
creep over us. Miss Florence McCanless
was the artist that conceived and execu-
ted the beautiful design of ornamenra-
