This feature Of the oil is a valuable
one. as Il is the snake oil and the
brilliant skins produced by that kind
OF snakes that they are after Mr..

The average man cannot afford to
employ a physician for every slight
aliment or injury that may occur in
his family, nor can he afford to neg

the scratch of pin has been known
to cause the loss of limb. Hence
every man must from necessity be his
own doctor for this class of ailments.

hand. Chamberlain Remedies have

Special attention is called to the
publication in the Star today of the
program and calendar for the Chau-
tauqua to be held in Hattiesburg dur
ing July. This is the first enter
prise of the kind ever attempted by
our neighboring city.
The Chautauqua will develop into
an institution of inestimable value
to Hattiesburg. 1t will, as the years
go by, firmly fix Hattiesburg as the
center of culture for all the vast
territory of which it is the CONNER
cial and financial center. A position
of that kind is an enviable one and a
difficurt one to obtain. Money. how
ever, will do many things for COM
munity. 1t will bring wealth, popula-
ton and prosperity; but all the money
In the world will not bring culture and
moral influence.

the chautauqua presents number of
