About Rheumatism,


There are few diseases that inflict
more torture than rheumatism and
there is probably no disease for which
such a varied and useless lot Of rem.
edies have been suggested. To say
that it can be cured is, therefore, a
bold statement to make, but Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. which enjoys an ex-
tensive sale, has met with great sue.
cess in the treatment of this disease.
One application of Pain Balm will re-
licve the pain. and hundreds of sui.
ferers have testified to permanent
cures by it's use. Why suffer when
Pain Balm affords such quick relief
and casts but trifle? For sale by all
druggists. Oh.

knights & Ladies OF Security.

No fraternal insurance order
in Keytesville is having any
thing like as rapid a growth as
is Eureka council, No. 555, of
the Knights & Ladies of Security.
One of the m ost popular fea.
lures of the order is that the rate
of insurance never increases, as
a large res erve fund amply pro-
vides against such a contingency.
Then, too, the order is co-sexual
and that makes the social side
much more enjoyable.
The following are the new of.
ficers for the ensuing year:
J. w. Taylor, president; j. R.
Closson, 1st vice. president; Mrs.
s. j. Shaughnessy, End vice.

Teachers Association.

Teachers Association.
The fourth annual County
Teachers association of Charlton
County met at the public school
building in Brunswick Octo.
Der II and remained in session
until the aftern oon of October 13.
In one respect, at least, this was
the most enjoyable association
we have ever had in this county.
The people of Brunswick and
the Brunswick teachers gave a
reception to the to achers of the
county, and to say that every
one enjoyed himself or herself
would be putting it mildly. The
music, readings, and especially
the two semesters of "The Char
iton County's Teachers college"
were surely all that could be
asked.
We shall certainly remember
pleasantly this part of our asso-
citation.
There were 10 teachers present
who filled out the Information
blanks and about 20 that did
not register. The reports of the
district clerks show 212 teachers
employed in the county. An at
tendance of less III a n
is very poor showing for
our great county. More than
this the teachers who attended
were very irregular in attendance
and often tardy.
We had number of most ex-
cellent talks on educational sub.
jects during which teachers
whispered or read, and some
even left the room during these
talks. 1t is true there were pres.
ent some earnest, eager teachers
who were getting what they could
out of everything; who were al
ways ready to do their parts.
To these the association was a
success and they will go back to
their work in the schoolroom
stronger and better teachers.
To others the association was
simply waste of time and mon.
ey. We can never have better
schools until teachers are inter-
ested in their work and are will
ing to learn wherever they may.
The following concerning
school books was unanimously
endorsed:
We favor the ppointment of
state textbook commission,
composed of the state superin-
tendant as chairman, and four
members who shall be actively
engaged IN teaching, not more
than two of whom shall belong
to the same political party, with
a term of Office co. extensive with
that of state superintendent,
whose duty it shall be to famil.
iarize themselves with the best
text books published, and select
therefrom such lists of common
and high school books as are
suitable for the public schools of
the state. Samples of such ap.
proved books shall be kept on
file in the office of the state su-
perintendent, together with bonds
from the publish ers, binding
themselves to maintain the same
standard of style. material and
workmanship and a uniform
price throughout the state, which
price shall not exceed the lowest
price for which such books are
offered for sale in any part ofthe
United States. From this ap.
proved list of textbooks for the

Death of Lewis Isle.


Lewis Lisle, one of the best
citizens and the most popular
man in Sumner, breathed his
last, Thursday, October II, 1905,
at the residence of r. B. Kilpat.
rick of Sumner as a result of in.
juries sustained the previous
Tuesday afternoon.
Mr.. Lisle and Weller Gilmore
went down about Brunswick
Monday for a wagon-load of
potatoes. They bought 35 bushels
from Walter Meyer and started
back home Tuesday morning.
The weather was quite chilly and
Mr. Lisle and Mr.. Gilmore "took
turn about" driving and walking.
In attempting to get back up
on the wagon about 5 o'clock at
point, near the home of George
Seldom, just south of Yellow
creek, Mr., Lisle slipped and fell
in such a way that the wagon
passed over his body, tearing all
the ribs loose from the right
side of the spinal colum and
running over his back and the
rear part of his head, breaking
his nose against the hard ground.
Mr.. Gilmore did not know of
the accident until he heard Mr..
Lisle call out as if in pain.
The unfortunate victim was
taken to Sumner, where he made
his home with R. B. Fitzpatrick.
He was given all the relief possi-
BILE by DR.. j. w. Hardy, the at.
tending physician, but it was q
hopeless case, and Mr.. Lisls
died of internal hemorrhags
at $3.50 O'Clock Thursday af.
ternoon, mourned by everyone
who knew him.
The deceased was born in
Clark county, KY, August %,
1854, and wss, therefore, in his
53rd year. He came to Charlton
county 26 years ago, where he
bad since made his home, and
had been identified with R. B.
Fitzpatrick in farming and stock.
raising for the past % years. He
was unmarried.
After funeral services at Sum.
uer the remains were sent back
to Kentucky for interment, bat
his memory will be kept green
by his many Charlton county
friends as long as they live.
GIr. Lisle was Mason and
had been a faithful member of
the county Democratic committee
from Cunningham township for
nearly 20 years.
