Pain in the Head

Is a danger signal, warning you that the brain nerves are exhausted-irritated, and are undergoing an unnatural strain.
 Frequent and prolonged at- tacks of pain weaken the gen. erative power of the nerve cells of the brain, and lead to loss of memory, melancholy, spasms, epilepsy, and frequent ly insanity.
 When the brain nerves are weakened they are unable to supply sufficient nerve force to the nerves that control the lungs, heart, stomach and other organs, and these organs are thus robbed of energy, and unable to meet the demands upon them, and they get sick. Stop the head pains with Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills, and the influence upon your general health will be greater than you can realize.
 'I want to tell you how thankful I am for pr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. From child I have been subject to sick headache, and never found any lasting relief until I received sample of Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills while in Geneva six years ago. By taking one it usually throws off my pain, so can go about my home duties"

Odd Fellows to Remodel.

The sentiment favoring a re
modelling Of the Odd Fellows
building on Main street which
has long been manifested in the
local lodge crystalized into action
last Monday night when at a
meeting Of Union Lodge, No. 35,
I. o. @. F.. a handsome sum was
voted for the purpose of secur-
ing plans and specifications for a
modern and up-to date lodge and
Office building. Without knowing
what such improvements and
changes. will cost the lodge, they
proceeded in the undertaking ia
the belief that the cost will ap-
proximate ten thousand dollars
and the sum of five hundred dol
lars was appropriated for plans.
1t is intended to get Mr.. Hunt,
Mr.. Krause, from Meridian, Mr..
Weathers, from Jackson. Mr.. j.
p. Stansell, from this city, and
others Of recognized ability as
architects, to submit plans and
specifications for the work and
in this way d modern and hand
some building will be assured.
The mem hers entrusted the mat
ter of securing plans to a com
mittee which will go to work on
the matter right away aud they
hope to have something definite
to submit to the lodge before
many weeks have passed.
The Odd Fellows lodge in this
city is one of the strongest here,
it's mem bership is growing. and
their decision to have a modern
temple is commendable in every
respect.
