Hon. John Sharp Williams Receives an
Ovation.

Notwithstanding the bad wealth
er, which so greatly lnterfered
with the attendance on the Carni-
val, Hon. John Sharp Williams
had a large and enthusiastic au-
.dience to greet him at Heuck's
Opera House yesterday afternoon.
Many ladies graced the occasion
by their presence, despite the in
Iclemency of the weather, and took
a deep interest in the distinguish
ed speakers address.
Mr.. Williams covered most of
the important political questions
of the day, and devoted good
portion of his speech to defini-
tion Of real Jeffersonian Democra-
| Icy, reading several extracts from
the writings of that distinguished
statesman to sustain his PROPOSE
ltion.
He discussed the trusts, the
tariff, the necessity OF free trade
with the Islands, and the ultimate
freedom Of that people govern
ment of their own. He opposed,
| in vigorous terms, the proposition
recently advanced, of government
Ownership Of the railroads, and
pointed out the injury that must
follow such an experiment.
Mr.. Williams spoke for over
two hours and had1he closest at
Itention of his audience, which
showed its appreciation of his
statesmanlike utterances by fre-
tquent outbuTsts of hearty ap-
plause.
He Williams did not discuss his
lown or Gov. Vardanan's candi-
ldacy for the Il. S. Senate, merely
lreferring to this subject and say
| ing that he hoped to meet the
lGovernor IN a joint discussion at
Brookhaven later when the sena-
ltorial campaign fairly opens.
His address was well received BY
lall and greatly increased the high
estimate ii which tie great mi
lnority leader is held BIZ our
people.

| trying circumstances; but at that
time, IN spite of obstacles and
sharp competition, made an I'M

1.-THE interim to this seasons ele-
giant display. The Parsons, May,
Oberschmidt Co. has, during
these months, thoroughly estab-
lished itself in the hearts and
homes of the ladies' OF our city
and vicinity.
The distinguishing feature ol
Wednesdays exhibit was the tail.

hand work that adorned some ol
| the newest and most artistic mil,
Ilinery creations. Misses Georgis

mating visitors.
The show windows bore designs
new and striking that we're much
admired. Handsome china plates,
bearing the inscription of the
firm, we're souvenirs.

IT'S
Grand fall Opening

Wednesday just the same as if there were
no rain and mud. Those who braved the
elements were certainly rewarded. The
Dry Goods and Millinery Departments were
elaborately decorated, and the new things
shown were more elegant and tastier than
ever displayed by these wide-awake
merchants.
Miss Sarah B. Mclean, of New CLEANS,
with her band of five artists---each one
star---furnished music for the occasion.
This in itself was a treat worth risking
cyclone to hear
Miss Springfield, who has charge of the
Millinery Departmert, made many hand
some woman look lovelier as she crowned
her with one of the latest style pattern hats
or one of the gems of her own creation.
Miss jamie Robinson, the artistic Mod
iste, had several handsome gowns and stylish
waists on exhibition and succeeded in Sc
curing number of nice orders for gowns,
waists and tailor-made suits. Her dress
making department is now running in full
blast and she solicits the patronage of the
ladies of this community. Department up

the Progressive League from Hon.
I. q. Sisson, explaining that he
had been hindered from keeping
his engagement by getting tied up
1 in the trial Of a case in court in
which be was employed at Indian
ola. The absence of Messrs.
Thomas and Brewer was unac-
counted for. The speaking,
which was to have commenced in
the forenoon was postponed until
| 3 p. M, in the hope that some of
i the absent candidates would arrive
in the early afternoon trains.
At the above hour, Messrs.
Truly and Noel addressed a good
sized audience at the Opera
House. in which there were a
number of ladies. The distin-
guished visitors we're introduced

Imam of the reception committee
and of the County Democratic
Executive committee, who pre-
faced their introduction with a
we'll timed tribute to Brookhaven, B
Lincoln county and the Progress
sige Union.
Both speakers followed in the
main the lines in their published
platforms and speeches at other
! places. Neither said anything
about the constitutional Conven-
/ ]tion proposition, but both favor
la change Of policy IN re-
gard to equaiizing assessments
and of securing more equitable
system for the distribution of the
common school fund in the sever
| al counties. Mr.. Noel claims pre-
Ecedence over bis competitors in
proposing and advocating these
reforms. Judge Truly strongly
advocated more rigid regulation
lof railroads, State and interstate,
than has hitherto prevailed, and
vigorously opposed the introduce

AMMSEMENTS
At the Gennett.

Another large crowd was present
It the Gennett theatre last evening
TO witness the splendid vaudeville
bill. Yesterday afternoon which was
bargain afternoon for the women and
children, the house was almost filled
by spectators, all anxious to witness
he bill that is being so generally
alked about in this city. Nothing but
words of praise have been said of the
ill that occupies the boards this
week and without a doubt every COM
nendatory statement is we'll de-
'erved.
The three Nudos in their acrobatic
sketch, The Frame Of Life, put on a
startling act and one that is equal to
anything in the class. The singing
Of Miss Bonnie Gaylord is even bet
'er, if possible, than it was during
her other appearances here. Humes
and Lewis, the comedy acrobats, have
an act that is original and they put it
on in excellent style. Darlington, the
man who drives away sorrow by his
company of wooden images, never
Fails to receive round after round of
applause, as he is one of the best
~entriloquists in the country. Ernest
7end continues to entertain by his
illustrated songs and the work OF
Prof. Gus Fredericks, pianist, is un-
excelled. The motion pictures are
cry entertaining.

~KNow THYsELrn was an old Greek
thought. How to take care of ones
own body Is not 30 simple as some think;
the human mechanism Is a wonderful
thing and requires watching.
One man who has done more to teach
Che American people how to care for their
bodies than almost any other, is DR.. r v.
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, the Author OF the
sCommon Sense Medical Adviser" He
eaten which produces strength and health
0or some people can keep strong on very
meagre diet), but it Is how much food is
absorbed and assimilated by the blood and
carried to nourish every organ of the body.
II is, therefore, vitality necessary fer the
body that the stomach be in healthy
state. If disease of the stomach, or what is
called ostomach trouble" prevents proper
nutrition then the heart, liver, lungs, and
kidneys do not get proper food-they are
not fed on rich red blood, and i'll conse-
o.~.nce, begin to show signs of distress.
Gutwardly these signs may be pimples
and eruptions on skin, pale face, sleepless
nights tired, languid feelings, or, by reason
of the nerves not being fed on pure blood,
they become starved, and we receive a
sDarnfng in the pain we call neuralgia.
Rheumatism, too is blood disease. After
years of practice and study DR.. Pierce
found that an Alternative Extract, which he
named uDr Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
eovery," made from the extracts of several
plants, invariably produced tonic effect
upon the system. 1t helped the process of
absorption of the healthy elements in the
food and increased the red corpuscles of
the blood, as we'll as eliminated the poiso MS
from the system.
