Saved His Life.

J. W. Davenport, Wingo, Ky,
writes, June IA, 1902: Il want to
tell you / believe Billiards. Snow Lini-
ment saved my life. l was under the
treatment of two doctors, and they
told me one of my lungs was entirely
gone, and the other badly affected. l
also had a lump in my side. l don't
think that l could have w two
months longer. l was induced by a
friend to try Ballard S Snow Liniment.
The first application gave me great
relief; two fifty cents bottles cured
me sound and well. 1t is a wonderful
medicine and l recommend it to suf-
fering humanity" 25c, soc, S1.00.

We note from the McComb City En-
terprise that Rev. E. ID. Solomon has
received a unanimous call for another
year from the Baptist Church which
he has been serving there. Mr.. Solo
mon has many friends here who are
always interested in his welfare and
it is with pleasure that we reproduce
the following from the Enterprise in
reference to his work at that place.
During the past ten months the
church has progressed rapidly both in
membership and finance and has al
so gained great spiritual strength.
The increase since January by bap-
tism is forty-eight and by letter
thirty, making a total of seventy
eight.
The total amount received by the
church and Sunday School for the
year was S6,403.02.
In a few more weeks the new brick
church will be completed at a cost of
about SIS, 900. 90.
Besides preaching regularly in the
church, Bro. Solomon has preached
occasionally at Fernwood and Whites
town and every Thursday in the shops,
after preaching as many as three
sermons in one day.
The McComb City First Baptist
Church has made phenomenal prog
reSS this year."

The writer had an opportunity to
observe the crops on a number OF
farms in the western portion of the
county during the week and candor
compels US TO say that conditions are
worse than we had considered them.
We do not see how the cotton yield
upon those farms can be over fifty
per cent of the yield for 1904. The
corn crop is also very short. The far
mers in that vicinity express them
selves as determined to hold their
cotton for better prices.

SAs il that wasn't enough con-
tinued Mr.. Primrose, apparently
more in sorrow than anger, several
comic operas, notably Frank Dam
iels' Miss Simplicity, abandoned all
disguise a couple of years ago and
devoted from ten to twenty minutes
to burlesque of minstrelsy. Three
comedians would come out-one in
terlocutor and two end men-and
take their places before a row Of
chairs. The middle man would say,
BE seated gentlemen and the three
on the stage, in addition to a row of
imaginary minstrel men, would take
their seats. Then one end man
would ask, If it takes two deuces
and a jack to beat busted flush,
what does it take to beat a board
bill?' or some such burlesque of an

mot at ALL" said Mr.. Primrose
quickly. You see light operas fail
ing every day. A production that
cost one or two hundred thousand
dollars to stage is run for a short
time and proves failure. Why, they
started out only few years ago
carrying ten or fifteen people and
gradually worked up to thirty or
forty, and finally sixty. Now some
carry over a hundred. What's the
result Suppose they do play to
crowded housese every night. Just
look at the cost of railroad transpor-
tation. One and two thousand dol
lars to carry them from one town
to another. Why, I'll make more
clear profit in a week out of my
dinky little minstrel show than some
of the biggest productions that will

now and then cause trouble In one
