Some time in the early spring of
this year a company was organized
for the purpose of developing what
seemed to be a promising oil field
near the hustling city of Laurel, in
Jones county. Work was begun and
kept up for some time without results
that were at all satisfactory. The ma
chinery seemed inadequate for the
purpose and the well was finally
abandoned. Not at all daunted by
the i'll luck encountered, the hustlers
of said city have again commenced
work with new contractor and better
tools and will dig down into the bow
els of mother earth and find what is
in store for them. Good for Laurel.

The shipments of lumber through
the port of Gulfport for the first
eight months of this year was 1885,
100000 feet, an increase over the same
period of time for last year Of over
100,000,000 feet. This goes to prove
the increasing Importance of our sea
port and that it is destined to be one
of the greatest of the whole line of
Uncle Sans water front. 1t is also
noted that the iron pipe for work on
the Panama Canal will be shipped via
Gulfport in preference to New Or
leans or any of the other ports. This
is another feather in the cap of that
hustling city and is source of great
qualification to Capt. Jones, the pow
er behind the throne down there. The
success of Gulfport is the pleasure Of
all loyal and true Mississippians.

nATARRH is a germ disease, and can only
be cured by killing the germ. De La
cy's Cin-Ks-Na and Iron is a deadly enemy
to all germs, and we do not believe there is
4 single case of catarrh that it will not cure.
Diseased germs radiate from the stomach,
and are carried by the blood to every part
of the entire system. Catarrh, being a disease
of the mucous membrane, is most easily af-
germs outnumber all other disease germs
combined. A short treatment of De Lacy's
Cin-Ko-Na and Iron will convince you, as it
has thousands of others, that it will kill every
catarrh germ in your system. Its work be-
gins with the first dose, and is kept up till
not a disease germ remains alive in your
system.

A good sound stomach il therefore of the ut
most importance. Heart trouble in nearly every
case is nothing more than stomach trouble.
Liver disorders are always caused by the stom-
ach. Kidney and bladder troubles likewise have
their beginning and get their start from the
stomach. Catarrh is another disease that orig
mates in the stomach. And you might go on
and name a dozen other diseases that owe their
existence to the stomach. When a short treat.
ment of De Lacy's Cin-Ko-Na and Iron will cure
any case of stomach trouble. you owe it to your
self to begin at once and put your stomach in
