Good Cough Medicine for Children.

The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care cannot
be used to protect the children. A
child is much more likely to contract
diphtheria or scarlet fever when he
has a cold. The quicker you cure his
cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is the sole reliance OF
many mothers. and few of those who
have tried 1t are willing to use any
other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, Of Ripley.
w. Va, says, 81 have never USED any
thing other than Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for my children and it has al
ways given good satisfaction" This
remedy contains no opium or other mar.
cotic and may be given as confidently
to a child as to an adult. For sale by
all druggists.

Breathes Strife.

Bonair, Ark, Aug. l9, l907.
 Editor Times:
 see letter from party publish ed in Izard's paper, signed @Oid Spud Iii bet sl0 lie never raised ten bushels Of corn in his fife. and @20 that he never raised bale of cotton in his life. The gist of this letter breathes with strife. He is trying to array all of the county against Madison township. It seems he las got but one idea in view. and that is to get up big row, which of course. calls for more drinks. If he should elect q man from each township they would have to move to town, and the next election MT Spud would be chasing him as town dude, and no doubt, would want him defeated l will bet another sl0that Spud cant be elected school director of his district. or con- stable of his township. h fact, If he is sounded down to the core, you will find him to be neither more nor less than what the Franks township farmers call d C. c. That means he cant come, and the reason he can't come Is because he, no doubt, is like other Fluinchal Fellows. riding over the county wanting to attend to everybody else's business as they have none of their own. The real farmers of this county-men that pay the taxes and produce the wealth of the county take no stock in such fellows as Spud, because lie means no good to the county and community ill which he lives.

HE JUST GRINNED
And Then Adolph Soaked Him in the
 ilsage for About 'Steen Soaks.

Mr. Adelph Chilner, city electrician, is carrying his arm and hand in sling as result of using his fist try ing 10 beat little politeness into the head of Arthur Crook, a negro barber, who had been employed It Carson's barber shop for few weeks. but who k now working for Street Walker k Go, as q result of his indis- cretion.
 During the storm "Wednesday even ing, MT Adolph Ghitner had business up town. As he neared the Beck corner he saw the point of an umbrella dart cut from the other street. and thinking perhaps there might be a lady behind it. was about to dodge out of the way, when the umbrella was sundenly lowered, the end of the stick striking him just under the eye, infiicting a painful, though not serious bruise. He then discovered that the umbrella was in the hands of Arthur Crook, the barber referred 10 above, and instead of hearing an apology, as he should, and which would prob ably have been accepted, he was greet ed with a broad silly grin. And then it was that Adolph bruised his hand by trying to knock that grin of.
 After hitting him Adolph started on up street, but the negro wasn't satisfied, and followed Adolph and showed fight. This angered Adolph so that he forgot his own discomfort and grabbing the negro pounded his face the hardest he could, and MT Ray Bonner happening along and seeing that Adolph'S blows were inef- fective, hit the negro with all his strength, and still never phazed him. Unfortunately there was no club handy. But Bonners blow ended the difficulty, and the negro took 10 his heels, leaving his hat behind. He came across the railroad, turned down behind the Marion hotel and disap- peared out of sight, not, however, un- til he had been overtaken by another negro, who carried his hat to him. He got what he deserved, only 1t was too bad the boys had to use their fists on him, and it is to be hoped that the next time he punches anybody in the eye he will apologize like gentle man, and not grin like an ape.

MEANINGS of DYKE.


Dyke" has even more divergent
meanings than ditch in Lincolnshire
and bank in Holland. In Scotland il
means low wall or fence of turf or
unmortarcd stones and in some parts
or northern England a dyke" is q
hedge Yet there are other northern
districts where il is pond Originally,
IN English at any rate. dyke" or
dixie" ana ditch" both meant what
ditch still means - us. but as the dig
ging out of a ditch necessarily involves
the raising of mound with the dug,
out earth. The words came 10 signify
ditch and mound together, and eventu-
ally In some caSe1s the mound alone
An even move curious instance OF I
word that has developed a sense APP
parsntly quite opposed to its original
one Is that, OF down n hill" "Of
dune" the Anglo. Saxon for from the
down, or HILL" became "adown." and
this was contracted into our modern
adverb down." which certainly has
no billy sense now.-London Chronicle.
