The southern sentinel. (Winnfield, La.) 1883-1910, 1906-08-10

There is nothing so pleasant as
that bright, cheerful, at-peace-with-
the-world feeling when you sit down
to your breakfast. There is nothing
so conducive to good work and good
results. The healthy man with a
healthy mind and body is better
fellow, a better workman, a better
citizen than the man or woman who
is handicapped by some disability,
however light. A slight disorder of
the stomach win derange your body,
your thoughts and your disposition.
Get away from the morbidness and
the blues. Keep your stomach in
tune and both your brain and body
will respond. Little indiscretions Of
overeating can be easily corrected
and you will be surprised to see how
much better man you are. Try
little Kodol for Dys ,epsia after YOU
meals. Sold by Smith & Grishan

Watson Has Returned.

The news comes from Georgia
that Thomas +. Watson, the
noted .Populist leader, and one
of the ablest men in the South.
has returned to the Democratic
party. He made a speech a few
days since announcing his return
to the fold and advocating the
nomination of HoKe Smith for
Governor. There ought to be
room and welcome for men like
Tom Watson in the Democratic
party.-Homer Guardian,Jour-

TO TRY THOMPSON At TACOMA
Judge Frater Grants Slayer Of Judge
Emory a Change Of
Venue.

SEATTLE, Nov. 12.-The trial of
Chester Thompson, accused Of the
murder of Judge G. Meade Emory
will be held in Pierce county. Judge
F'rater of the superior court Saturday
morning granted the change of venue
asked by the defense. The selection
Of Pierce county, of which Tacoma is
the county seat, was made at the re-
quest Of Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
John F. Miller. Mr.. Morris, for the
defense, preferred Kitsap county.
The motion for change Of venue be-
came somewhat involved by bringing
into it the claim Of the defense that
Chester Thompson is insane The
defense attempted to obtain the
change without allowing the accused
boy to make an affidavit, claiming
that being insane, he was not legally
capable of doing so. Mr.. Miller in
sisted that the boy make an affidavit
in person, and the defense finally con-
scented. An affidavit was prepared
and submitted to the court. who
| granted the change of venue
Chester Thompson was present in
the court room during the argument
appearing composed as usual. and ap-
| parently unmoved by the seriousness
of his position. Attorneys Morris and
Shipley represented him, but his
father, Will H. Thompson, was also
present in the court room.

w. n. BROWN DEAD.
WaIIa WaIIa Pioneer Passes Ava,
With Fatal Heart Disease.

After an illness of several days with
heart disease, w. H. Brown, Walla
Walla pioneer, passed away at his
home on Elm street yesterday. Un-
til the past week he has been around
as usual so that his taking off was
painful shock to his friends.
The deceased came to Walla Walla
in 1862 and engaged in the business of
freighting to the mines. When the
railroads came and he found his "oc-
cupation gone" he established small
merchandise store near the o. r. &
N depot which he ran for many years.
Brown was born in Manchester,
England, in the year 1881, and came
to this country when only 16 years of
age. He came to California with the
vanguard of gold seekers. He came to
Walla Walla in 1862.
He leaves a wife and two daughters
to mourn his departure. He was an
enthusiastic Odd Fellow, having been
a charter member of Enterprise lodge
of this city.
His brothers of this order will have
charge of the funeral which will be
held from the family residence on
SOC Elm street at o'clock tomorrow
afternoon.

Is Valuable Lecture.
The feature of the convention. ac-
cording to Mr.. Loehr, was the stereop-
ticon lecture by Mr.. Lancaster Of
Jackson, Tenn, government expert.
1T was full Of valuable information.
One of the most forceful illustrations
I ever saw on the advantage Of good
roads was that of darkey driving a
mule over a sloppy road in the South
with one bale Of cotton. Contrasted
to it was another picture with the
same darkey, same mule, same wagon
and 10 bales of cotton. This was one
year later, after a good road had been
put in
'Tn the south cotton f1uctuates from
SO to 81 a day. Before the advent Of
good road it took day to get to town
to find out and then it was impossible
to get the cotton in if it had risen.
Now, with good roads telephones are
being put in and if the price looks good
to the plantation owner he can rush
in a load in time to take advantage Of
it,
County Surveyors Meet.
Saturday Mr.. Loehr attended the
session of the county surveyors of the
state which met after the adjournment

We're the only representatives from
eastern Washington.
The name Of the association was
changed to County Engineers asso-
citation" The reasons for the adoption
of the more pretentious title were Civ
en- by the outgoing engineer" of Wal
la Walla county.
Every. county surveyor must be an
expert road man. The curves, and hor-
| izontal and vertical levels, are now
worked out on the best roads with as
much precision as on railroads.

WANT THEIR WHEAT INSPECTED
UmatilIa Farmers Will Ask Legisla-
ture to Create Office Of State
Grain Inspector.

Farmers of Umatilla county are al
the present time interested in the
of wheat and warehouse inspection
and the matter is now being agitated
with enthusiasm says the Pendleton
East OregOnian.
Farmers who were seen To-Day ex-
pressed a desire that the legislature
appoint a state inspector whose duties
will be to see that the warehouses do
not charge exhorbitant prices for stor-
age and shipment of grain, a matter
that mas long been the bugbear with
wheatgrowers.
Farmers of this county and eastern
Oregon generally seem to be united
in the matter of having the office of
state inspector created, and it is pre-
sumed that definite steps toward that
end will be taken in the near future.
1t will be the purpose of the proposed
office to regulate the entire industry
of the state.
Much dissatisfaction is expressed at
the system that has been in vogue in
the past regarding the grading of
wheat, which is done by the ware
housemen. These men as a rule are
agents of the big wheat buyers of
Portland. and the warehouses are
owned by a few big companies. AS
the matter stands the buyers seem
to have things all their own way, and
the farmers claim that they are often
put to disadvantage in disposing of
their crops by arbitrary methods
pursued by the warehousemen.
