in Nashville.
Tuesdays Bristol Courier says:
Governor Bob Taylor will, much to the
regret of the people Of Bristol, leave
this city today for his future home in
Nashville. His brother, Mr., Hugh
Taylor, who is to be on the editorial
staff of "Bob Taylor's Magazine" left
here for Nashville yesterday.
The ex-governor will have his house
hold effects shipped to Nashville at
cnce, and his family will leave Bristol
the latter part Of this week or early
next week.
The family have resided here only
since the first of last September. The
ex-governor regrets to leave Bristol,
but business calls him to Nashville,
and Of course he is at home there, for
no man who ever walked the streets of
Nashville or loitered in the lobby of
the Maxwell House, is better known in
Nashville, or has more cordial friends
at the capitol.
The ex-governor and his entire force
are now busy preparing for the first is
sue of "Bob Toylor's Monthly" which
is to appear in March next. The pur-
pose is to make it O magazine of high
standard, and one that will reflect the
highest ideals of southern life. Such
magazine is needed quantity in the
south, and ought to flourish as no 9th
er southern publication has. The new
magazine will cost money and the toll
of hands and brain; and the south can
i'll afford not to receive it in the spirit
Of atrue southern enterprise and one
that is sadly needed to bring out in ar
tistic style the higher and nobler quail
tiles of life down in Dixie.

When you have cough do not try to
suppress it, but remove the cause. The
cough is only symptom of some dis
ease, and the disease is what you should
cure, then the cough will stop itself.
The most common cause of coughing is
cold. Anodynes will promptly sup
press the cough, and preparations con-
tanning chloroform, opium, ETC., are
used for the purpose, but they do not
cure the cold. Chamberlain Cough
Remedy on the other hand does not
suppress the cough, but relieves it by
removing from the throat and lungs
the mucus which obstructed the breath

How a Message is Prepared.

The presidents message at the be-
ginning OF session of congress is not
written in q week or even in month.
The actual manuel labor of writing q
message may only take few days, but
long before the crop can be garnered
the seed must be sown. The planting
season in the white house begins as
soon as one message is written, and
keeps up without intermission until
the next is ready to be harvested. A
presidents message is his greatest state
paper; it is of international as we'll as
national Importance, and iB read by the
entire world; in Europe by men whose
business it is to comment on our cur
rent events, by men in whose hands
are the destinies Of nations, by en-
perors and kings; and in America by
the uncrowned kings, some Of whom,
after they have read the message, are
morally convinced that il they had been
given the job they could have turned
out much better piece Of work.
Perhaps there is no single piece of
literary composition in ell the world
that has such wide publicity and so
many readers as message of the presi-
dent, that means so much, and is usu.
ally awaited with such keen interest.
Little wonder, then, that during the
time the message is in course of incu-
baton everybody president, members
of the cabinet, secretary. stenograhers
and all who have q part in it-should
feel the responsibility upon them.
But, of course, the chief responsibility
is the presidents, and there is no one
with whom he can share il.
The message, like the diaphanous
fabrics that women will wear next sum-
mer, is planned for a yeor in advance.
