Gilbert E. 2. .. No. l.

On the 28th of this month | will
leave for the Seminary at Louisville,
Ky, to better prepare myself for the
work of the Gospel ministry. 1 re-
eret that 7 shall not be present to
cast my vote against tbe DIepensary.
No longer than yesterday l saw
negro man buy bottle Of whlskey
for a minor from our Diepensary. l
do not blame Hammond How doea
he know who they are getting it for :?
It's the weakness and low down rot
tenness of the Dispensary.
Some say I'm opposed to the u g.
pensarY, but what will we have after
it is voted out?' YJu will huve what
YOU want. We have had now for the
last thirteen years, rule by few
political bosses, but the people will
not always be blind while the poll
tician fills his pockets with stolen
money. A certain very small poll
tician is showing himself, either very
igr O ant or wilfully mierepresents
things, when he says that the Dis
pensary has increased our schools
from three months to six and rlne
mouths. Some people swallow the
statement down at one gnlp and say.
.ssee there" I would not hesitate to
say-if it we're not unparlia
that the statement is a lie out "of
about the whole cloth. Go to your
school trustees and ask them how
much money they got last year from
the Dispensary. They will tell you
from s12 to probably S25. Now,
pray tell me, how you Can run q
school for four or five months or S25?
What lie of the devil.
You need not suppose any man
has 30 much real love for the Dis
pensary law as to spend 40 much of
bis time for nothing. He still has
his fingers in the pie.
The County School Superinten-;,
dent of Education's books show
students enrolled last year 6,793 and
money received from Dispensaries
-4.793 76 Now you divide the
amount received by the number OF
students and you will see how much
each student should get. But others
will talk along this line and so I will
hush. If these were my last words
to my friends I would say, quit tax
ing everything you hear for truth
without investigation.

The Day is Coming.

The day is certainly coming when
the farmers will be in a position to
dictate the price of cotton. had it
not been for the stropg organization
which has been built up in every
Southern State what would the sta
pie be selling for today7 Seven or
eight cent would probably be the
highest price, and, therefore, by
means of the organization Of farmers

cents has been saved to the South on
every pound OF cotton held by the
farmers. And the end is not yet.

Sixty-one Miles Of Eggs

M. A. Cole, manages of the Sank
Centre branch of the North American
Cold Storage Company informs us
that during the first six weeks he has
been located in this place he has
bought and shipped eight car loads of
eggs, $50 cases constitute car load
and there are thirty dozen eggs in the
case. The total number of eggs in
the eight car loads make a grand to-
tai of ], 296, 600.
Placed end to end they would reach
approximately sixty-one miles. If we
were to throw them at rate of sixty
minute at delinquent subscribers and
worked ten hours day it would take
us Sc days to use them up.
Counted at the rate of 200 minute
it would take 5Idays of ten hours
each.
During the last six weeks Mr.. Cole
has paid out over $500 in cash for
eggs and other farm produce.

LEAD, Kindly Light.

The hymnbooks do not contain a
more exquisite lyric than Newman's
''Lead, Kindly Light" says Allan
Sutherland in the June Delineator,
nor one that is more acceptable to all
denominations of the Christian faith.
When the Parliament of Religions
met in Chicago during the Columbian
Exposition, the representatives of
almost every creed known to man
found two things on which they were
agreed: They could all join in the
Lords Prayer and all could sing
LEAD, Kindly Light" The hymn
was written when Newman, returning
home from Italy after a serious i'll
ness, was becalmed for week in the
sunny waters of the Mediterranean.
In striking contrast, the music was
composed by DR.. John B. Dykes as he
walked through the Strand, one of the
busiest thoroughfares of London. The
hymn was a favorite of Gladstone, and
also of President Mckinley, and it
was sung far and wide in the churches
on the first anniversary of his death
and burial.

Cultivate the Memory.

Many people complain of having a
poor memory, and yet that faculty can
be developed as easily as can the
biceps muscle. Nor is it necessary to
go to any professor of memory or to
master any elaborate system in order
to accomplish this result. One does
not have to go to a gymnasium to
strengthen the arm or back. Chopping
wood or rowing boat will do it..
Similarly, memory may be cultivated
by an effort and amid ordinary pur-
suits

remedy is Ely's Cream Balm. 1t re-
