In MemOrian of v William Snider.

Farewell Unc'e,
We know that you have { one.
We loved you more dearly than
any one,
But God has called you me.
Your bright blue eyes are closed
We have lain you meath the
sod,
Your voice is still for e'er on
earth
You have gone 10 dwell with
God.
But we do not wish you back
again,
To dwell beneath the skies
For we know your sulfr rugs
now are DER,
And tears no more shall dim
your eyes,
A flower has faded from ur
sight,
A Joy has left our home,
But fare thee we'll our uncle
dead
For Christ, our Lord says
come, COLBY JACKSON.

MRS. STEVENS'
 COOKING GLASSES.

Mrs. E. c. Stevens of Birmingham has
 been conducting a series of cooking classes in Augusta. where, meeting with the greatest enthusiasm, she drew about her a charming coterie of well known Augusta women. In regard to her classes the Augusta Herald says:
 Mrs. E. c. Stephens has returned to Birmingham, after a series of demonstrat- ed cooking lectures, which were without exception one of the pleasantest diver sions that Augusta society women have had for some time. As a result of Mrs Stephens visit latent possibilities along culinary lines were developed and after Easter dinners and luncheons galore will be given simply for the delight of per- sonally preparing the menus, and it IS said that since Mrs. Stephens advent there will be inaugurated the putting to the front of the old-time domestic virtue of being good cook.
 Mrs Stephens departure is source of regret to all who had the double pleas. ure of meeting this charming woman so- cially. Should she elect to again take the Augusta housekeepers in hand. her apartments will without doubt be the mecca of every up-to-date woman in the city"

No Benefit No Cost.

If you are weak and worn- out-if you are nervous, irrita- ble, have headache, backache, neuralgia, or periodical pains, it is because you have exhausted your nerve force.
 If you cannot sleep, and are thus robbed of the rest which nature demands for the restor- ation of mental and physical vigor, your system will con- tinue to run down.
 Dr. Miles Nervine restores vitality by soothing and strengthening the nervous system, thus inducing refresh ing sleep, and inparting strength and vigor to all the organs of the body.
 There are very few instances where Nervine will not benefit; if not, your druggist will re- fund the money.
 When began taking Dr. Miles Nervine I had very sour stomach, with pain extending far around on my left sidc-attended with extreme nerv- ousness I dreaded to have night come, as it was impossible for me to sleep. Everything I ate distressed me. Before I had finished one bottle of Nervine. there was such change that my husband bought six more, which has restored me to health."
 MRS. JENNIE SIMMS,
 Nashville. Ind. Dr. Miles Nervlne Is sold by your druggist, who will guarantee that the first bottle will benefit. If it falls, he will refund your money.

People who come to Tupelo
and see the wonderful progress
our little city is making do not
fully understand the cause that
brings about such state of things
We have long since retired our
dyspeptic faultfnders to the rear
and placed the live, wideawake
and energetic business men in
front. They know a good thing
when they see it and go out
after it with the same deter
mination that the boy had who
dug for the gopher and success
follows. The knocker finds no
place here except behind the
procession where his wall and
woes are drowned by the din of
the industrial battle aheado Of him.

President Roosevelt while at
Austin made an address before
the Texas legislature in which
he insisted that every good
citizen should be enlisted in a
common effort to give the people
"a square deal'' in regulating
railroads and to give the railroad
"a square deal" in the treatment
they receive at the hands of
legislators. The President will
achieve quite a victory if he sue
ceeds in getting a square deal
from the railroads from the
people; the railroads know how
to get what they want from the
average legislature and the pres
ident need not press their side
of the question further.

announces that the Equestrian

Tuesday, May 16, 1905, has beea
designated as the time, and

served under Gen. Forrest, at
any time during the war between
the States, and are now resident
in the State of Mississippi, to at
tend and participate in the cere-
monies incident to the occasion
and to that end, requests each
and every Forrest veteran OF
Mississippi to report his name,

together with his present post
office address, by letter to these
headquarters. without delay ano
at same time, state whether he
expects to attend on the occasion
referred to.
The Staff of the Brig. Gen.

We never did believe in the
State railroad commission, and
fought the bill establishing it
when it was being considered by
the Legislature to the extent OF
our ability on the grounds that it
was a fifth wheel to the wagon,
"a kind Of sinecure Office making
a few more soft places for suck
ing the public pap. However,
since we have the law and a COM
mission, the Leader feels like
complimenting that most excel
lent gentleman, and honorable
citizen, who is one of the COM
mission-Hon. J. C. Kincannon--
for the fight he made for the con-
stitution and law, with the M. J..
& K. C. railway when the effort
was made to run the road so as
to leave three miles off the line
the little town Of Pontotoc. The
constitution and law provide that
when a railroad runs within three
miles Of a county site it must run
through the town. Mr.. Kincannon
stoutly stood for the constitution,
saying that if every citizen Of
the county asked him to disregard
the fundamental law Of his
State he could not do it. We want
many more Of this kind Of officials.

How's This for the South

Under the above caption the
Daily National Live Stock Repor-
ter had the following to say in
referring to the fact that Mississ-
ippi raised cattle top the market
at St. Louis Monday.
S. w. Caruthers, a we'll known
farmer and feeder Of Clay county
Miss. had in two loads of good
grade dehorned Durham steers
today, 25 head averaging 1866
lbs and topping the Southern
cattle market at S.. 90 per cwt
being purchased by Nelson
Morris and Co. They were Miss
issippi-bred, raised and fed three
and four year-olds, and had been
run on grass until a little less
than six months ago when they
were placed on a ration OF cotton
seed and hulls and corn meal
and their condition today showed
that Mr.. Caruthers got good re-
turns for his feed and labor.
J. w. Walker, of the same
| nlace also had q load of grade
Red Polled steers on the market,
% head averaging 1016 lbs and
selling to the St. Louis Dressed
Beef Co. at 81. 80 per cwt. They
had been on feed about three anc
a half months, and were fed the
same as the Caruthers cattle.
The above furnishes conclusive
evidence that no state furnishes
greater advantages than Miss.
lissippi for cattle raising. The
sale of beeves of three years OF
age averaging fourteen hundred
pounds at six cents gross gives
a fine profit to the farmer. 1874
a head is a fine price for three
year old stears and no state
offers the same advantages to
raise them as cheaply as Miss
issippi. We can have grasses
throughout the entire year if we
make thee fort, and when the
fattening season arrives our
cotton seed hulls and meals makes
the best and cheapest ration.
The Tupelo journal., 1905-04-14

We reproduce from the New
Orleans Picayune of the 10th inst.
aletter from Daniel J. Sully who
undertakes to demonstrate why
there should bea reduction in the
cotton acreage this year. Mr. Sui
ly has gotten back into the cot
ton ring and is still on the bull
side of the market. In company
with Mr.. Brown and others he
ran the market during the spring
of last year to the highest point
in years and now expresses his
opinion that the price can be ad-
vanced and held up if the farmers
will only work together or indi-
vidually decrease the acreage.
Ten days more of weather
like that we are now having will
settle the acreage question
