KENT ALMsHOUSE IN FINE CONDITION.
Grand Jury Pays Compliment to the Instltu.
ton Of Which Geo. NJ. Stevenson is President.

The Grand Jury of Kent County
rep Jrts the following concerning the
Kent County Almshouse at Wyoming
of which institution Mr.. George NJ.
Stevenson of this town is president;
"We visited the county almshouse and
found it, under the supervision of
Overseer Aron, IN an excellent condi-
tion. The inmates were apparently
happy and content, and the people of
the county should be proud of such an
institution, that cares for the aged and
invalids who are unable to sustain
themselves. We found that some re-
pairs were urgently needed, and re-
commend that they be attended to, as
the buildings are being damaged by
neglect to do So"

J. I. Walker at Alexandria.


The Alexandria Morning News of
last Friday says: j. T. Walker, who
until recently conducted the RICE
BELT JOURNAL at Welsh, La, has
sold out his holdings at that place
and has made arrangements for the
opening up of first-class and up-to-
date stationery store in Alexandria,
and in connection with it will run a
job printing Office.
Mr.. Walker was here several weeks
ago, had a talk with Secretary Chase
of the Progressive Union in regard to
the opening of the new enterprise here
securing a building, etc. He was
brought into communication with DR..
Garner, who contemplated at that
time the erection of building upon
the lot next to the one on which he
now owns the building occupied by
Henry Geiger's store.
Arrangements were made between
Messrs. Garner and Walker by which
Mr.. Walker was to lease the lower
floor of the new building, should there
be two stories erected. In this case
the upper floor will probably be used
for Office purposes. Work on the new
building will be begun shortly.

After a temporary career of four
years, this plant has fallen into the
hands of a company of Missourians
who haye the capital necessary to
make it a success. They are, accord
ing1y, reconstructing the entire plant,
installing new machinery and rebuild
ing the canal and laterals. A consid-
cradle addition to the acreage will
result.
The JOURNAL last week inadvertant-
ly neglected to state that at the sug-
gestion of Mayor Robinson the larger
boys in Prof. G. E. Hooper's room
under the direction of G.. M. Field
planted number of trees on the pub
lie school campus. Among the trees
planted were a dozen oaks, one live
oak, six arbor vitaes, six box elders
and soft NAPLES. The trees were not
set in rows as is the usual custom,
but planted promiscuously about the
grounds according to the best ideas
of landscape gardening. The work is
commendable and the matteg,cf shade
trees should be considered IF
our citizens. ~

STOMACH DOSING WILL NOT CURE
Only Way to Cure Catarrh is by
Breathing Hyomei.

Ask any physician if catarrh is a
blood disease and he will tell you tha
it is diseased condition of the mu-
cous membrane, and that it cannot be
cured by blood purifiers, pills, tablets,
OF other forms of stomach dosing.
The only sensible and scientific way
of curing catarrh is by the use of
Hyomei.
Breathed for few minutes, four OF
five times day, through hard rub
Der inhaler that is 80 small that it can
be carried in the vest pocket, Hyomei
will absolutely destroy oil catarrhal
germs and cure the disease. Catarrh
can never exist where Hyomei is used.
1t has a two.fold action, destroying
the disease germs in the air passages
and lungs, and soothing and healing
the infamed mucous membrane.
Evans Pharmacy, one Of the most
reliable firms in Anderson, s. g., are
giving their personal guarantee with
every package of Hyomei they sell,
that it will effect cure or they will
Teturh the money. They have had
scores of reports of remarkable cures
Of both acute and chronic cases by
Hyomei.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
$1.00 and comprises an inhaler, bot
tie of Hyomei and dropper. The
inhaler will last lifetime and addi-
'tional BOTTLES of Hyomei can be OBJ
tanned for 50c.

he smiled.
"But he had no sooner tasted the
