LITTLE POCKET PHYSICIAN.
Hyomei Inhaler that is Guaranteed
by the Red Gross Pharmacy
to Cure Catarrh

Thousands who have been cured by
Hyomei call the inhaler that comes
with every outfit 1.-THE little pocket
physician" as it is SO small that il
carried in the pocket or purse.
Prior to the discovery of Hyomei
statistics showed that at least 81 out
of every 100 persons in this State were
suffering from catarrb in some form.
The remarkable results following the
use of Hyomei are shown by the small
er percentage to-day of people suffer-
ing from catarrh.
There is really no excuse whatever
for anyone having catarrh now that
Hyemei IL so readily obtainable. If
you have any doubts about its value,
the Red Cross PhaI macy will let you
have complete outfit with the under
standing that unless it cures catarrh
it will not cost you cent.
a eomple,c Hyomei outfit consist
of 'the little pocket physician,
medicine dropper and bottle of Hyo-
mel, and costs only 81, while addition
al bottles of Hyomei can be procured
for so cents, making it the most eco
nomical as well as the most reliable
treatment for the cure of catarrh.
DO not delay longer the use Of Hyo-
mel if you have catarrh. This is
purely local disease and Hyomei goes
right to the spot where the catarrh
germs are present. destroys them,
soothes and heals all inflammation,
and makes permanent and lasting
cure.

The Hardy-Little Grocery Com
pany this week sold to the West
Tennessee Wholesale Grocery Com
pany the wholesale business and
stock of groceries and sundries be-
longing to same located on First
street south of the Deering build
ing. The negotiations and trans
fer are complete and the Martin
company is now in full control Of
the business.
The result of the change means
that the stock of goods will be
largely increased and augmented
by the addition of an extensive line
of fancy goods, and instead of los
ing Union City will gain by an in
crease in the size of its wholesale
business and the volume of its
trade.
The store in Union City will be
known as a branch of the West
Tennessee Wholesale Grocery Com
pany with its main offices at Martin
aud as heretofore will be under the
management of DR.. E. B. Little.
DIR. Little has been engaged in the
grocery business for quarter of
century and under the new arrange
ment of things will have a larger
Office and sales force and more help
in the conduct of the business. For
this reason the Doctor transferred
his interests with the Hardy-Little
Co. to the Martin company.
DIR. Little came to Union City
from Dresden about thirty years
ago. He was for few years en-
gagged in the dry goods business in
Union City ami then embarked in
the grocery line. He entered the
service of ST. Louis company as
travelling salesman and remained
until the house changed hands. He
then engaged with a new house
and this was the only change made
until he came back to Union City
and established himself in the
wholesale grocery line here
His business was a success from
the start and but for the fact that
his duties as manager were too la
borious he would not have with
drawn his name as a member of the
company. AS it is he will have
more help and his work will there
fore be of lighter character. DR..
Little is thorough business man
and good citizen, and it is with
pleasure that we make these an.
nouncements. We are glad that he
and his estimable family are to re-
main in Union City.
AS we stated, the name of the
new proprietors will be the West

ne ucdtn OF lnls VeneTdOle anu
distinguished citizen took place in
Union City at the home OF his son,
Geo. S. Hardy, at the hour of 80
Saturday, January 27, 1906. 1t was
the closing OF a long and useful
career. passing out like peaceful
ebb tide.
The subject of this sketch was
born over 70 years ago in Virginia
In his youth he came to Tennessee,
first to Middle Tennessee, and then
located in the section OF country
which lies between Harris and Jor-
dan, then or afterwards known as
Jacksonville. Mr.. Hardy descended
from a race whose blood was inter
mingled with the puritan and the
cavalier. In him was developed
those sturdy characteristics which
distinguished the pioneer and gave
him conspicuous place in the his
tory of his country. 1t was that
indomitable spirit which swept
away the canebrake and the thicket
and caused the earth to bear an
hundred fold and the country to
blossom as the rose. 1t was these
sturdy men who made us heir to
the richest country on earth and the
finest agriculture in the world; it
was these men who planted a race
of Anglo-Saxon strength and beauty
as famous as all the Southland.
These men and these women strug-
gled through all the vicissitudes of
primeval days in the West and left
us their glorious achievements.
These were honest hearts coupled
with the brain and Drawn of strong
manhood.
Mr.. Hardy belonged to this hon.
ored class of citizens. He came to
this country in his youth-about
the year 1916. Soon afterwards he
Joined hand and heart with Miss
Mary Beckham in the holy bonds of
welded union. The years rolled
on; they enjoyed a liberal measure
of success and happiness, and TO
these the blessings of nine children
were added, seven of whom now
survive. These are Mrs. c. X. Lii
gon, Chas. p, Geo. S. and Wade
Hardy, Mrs. Mamie Watts, Mrs.
Myrtle Posey and Mrs Geo. Nash.
MIR. Hardy survived his first wife
about twenty-five years and mar
ried again some four years after
wards. His second wife was Mrs.
Fields, who survives him.
The deceased was member of
the Christian Church for many
years and belonged to the Odd Eel
lows lodge. He was a man of
strong faith, unyielding convic-
tions, devoutly attached to his fam
lily and fireside and esteemed as
loyal friend. An honest man is
Gods noblest handiwork, a md plant
ed in the breast of this strong man
was the soul Of honor. He was
broad and sensible in his ideas and
generous in his nature. He was
good man in the true sense of the
term, universally houored, loved
and esteemed. His name will live
long after his body has been con-
signed to the earth to be revered
among men.
The funeral took place at Mr..
Geo. Hardy's residence Sunday at
ternoon in the presence of sorrow
ing friends, and the remains con-
veyed to East View for burial.
Rev. Castleberry conducted the
funeral service.

Washington, Feb. 6.-During his
Testimony before the senate Commit

John F. Wallace, former chief engf

The secretary of war told me he
had no use for me except on the 18TH

so angry in his treatment that he ali
but cursed me"
Mr. Wallace said in all his expert
ence in railroad construction he had
never seen men better fed than on the
Isthmus. The complaints, he said,
came from clerks who went to the
1sthmus from Washington ana New
York and who got an idea from music
al comedies that life in a tropical
climate was to lie in a hammock and
enjoy themselves.

to subject midshipman convicted of
hazing to dismissal from the academy,
as frequently the punishment is quite
disproportionate to the offense com
mitted.
He suggested further, that it is an
error to try a midshipman accused of
haZing by cOuTtmartial.
His idea is that power to deal with
such cases ought to be lodged in some
administrative officer, or body, to deal
summarily with them.
