A special prize of $lOO is offered the
county sending the largest number of
students, to be divided among the
students, in addition prizes of from
IS to $50 are offered to individual].stu-
dents for proficiency. in work, essays,
etc.
Now what is the reason Washington
county cannot send students enough
to win that $10O prize? Haven't we
progressive farmers enough who will
send their sons or go themselves?
There is no age limit, fathers and sons
may both go. Now let US not neglect
this, write at once to DR.. H. A. Nor
gan, chairman College of Agriculture,
Knoxville, Tenn, for full particulars.
As progressive and prosperous as is
Washington county, as compared with
thousands of counties of the South, it
may be made vastly more SO and the
stepping stone to the door of a great
er prosperity for our farmers is to ed
ucate the farmers sons in the science
of agriculture.

Better Late Than Never.

1t would, of course, be best for you
to be so careful about what, when and
how you eat-as never to suffer f1om
any dyspeptic or bowel trouble. But
il you do slip up, and begin to suffer
the consequences of indiscretion in di-
ct, it is better to begin then, although
late, to look after your digestion. At
this stage of the game, the best thing
to do is to take DR.. Caldwell's (laxa-
'tive) Syrup Pepsin. 1t is a pure, di-
gestive tonic, and acts on both stom.
ach, liver and bowels, curing perms-
nently and without bad after effects,
such dangerous diseases as constipa'
ton, biliousness, dyspepsia, headache,
dizziness, etc. Try it. Sold by al

Denver Wins

While many democrats in this part
Of the country hoped to see the nat
iOnal convention come to Louisville, it
does not come as surprise that Den
YER won out In the showdown. 1t had
been evident for some time that Louis
vile was not finding 1t easy to raise
the sum necessary to secure the con-
yentlon, and when Denver laid $780,
600 ON the table, the game was hers.
The meeting Of the National Demo
cratic convention in Denver on July
Z, 1908, will mark new departure
from the customs OF both parties.
Never before have either democrats
or republicans met further west than
Kansas City, and this recognition Of O
great and powerful section may be re.
garded as good omen for the party
that has thus broken over old lines
and barriers. The summer climate of
Denver is delightful, and few loca'
tions could have been chosen where
great convention could find pleasant
er and more comfortable entertain
ment.
Denver wanted the convention, wal
able to put up the money to get it, ant
won il fairly and sauarely. While
there may be disappointment in som,
quarters, there should be no seriou
dissatisfaction at the final choice. o.
the heights of the beautiful COLORADO
city, in the bracing air of the grea
west, may the Democratic council b
inspired to its best and truest work. =

FRED W. PETERS
GRANTED A DIVORCE
Defendant Did not Contes /
the Suit.
Husband Testified That Wife Con-
tinually Received Notes
From Other Men.

Fred w. Peters was granted a di-
vorce from Lillian w. Peters, by
Judge Babst of the court of common
pleas, Monday afternoon. The de-
fendant was not represented, and on.
ly the husbands side of the case was
heard.
Mr.. Peters testified that his wife
continually received notes from other
men, and in other ways gave him
treason to believe that she was not
true to him. He said that on one
occasion he saw her in Columbus
with another man. Peters said he
followed the couple ard saw them
coming out OF a place o. questionable
repute.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peters were married
in this city, December 2S, 1899. Ac-
Icording to the story told by Peters,
his wife deserted him November 10,
1906, and went to Columbus, where
she has since lived.

Pronunciation Of "GlrI.v

Concerning the pronunciation Of
"girl," it is to be feared that only very
careful English people fail to rhyme
1t with pearl" nowadays. The song
of a few years back-"My dear little
grille, grille, with hair so nice and
curly, and every morning carly
shows the custom of the great public
in our time, though in the Wilkins
and his Dinah" period girl" was
rhymed with dwell" Cell" was, no
doubt, the nearest the average man
could get TO the sound imperfectly
represented by "gairl," and, at any
rate, was better than the vulgar gal. ("
But in these days few authors would
go to the trouble of writing "gurl" to
show that a character was peculiar in
thus pronouncing the word, as Thack.

For Nature Students.

William Archer the noted English
critic, said at one of the meetings OF
the reformed spelling board in New
York
81 have been rather surprised, here
In the States, with the general ignor.
ance of what we spelling reformers
are trying to do. Our aims are not at
all understood. We have no idea of
going to such ludicrous extremes as
many people think.
I'm fact, the average mans idea OF
reformed spelling is a good deal like
the two young ladies' idea Of natural
history.
What part of the animal does the
chop come from?' said the first young
lady. Is 1t the leg?'
"'Oh. not at ALL said the other,
laughing. The Leg How ridiculous! |!
1t is, of course, the jaw bone. Have
you never heard Of animals licking
their chops?"

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition oftthe mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachlan Tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have a
rumbllng sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t is entlrey closed, Deaf
ness Is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored TO its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out OF ten are caused by
Catarrb, which is nothing but an in
famed condition OF the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
