trolls the isle of Spice, which was

send another which was equally as
good, a musical comedy known as
"My Wife's Family" This is the
attraction which we are to see next
Thursday night. 1t will in all prob
ability be the leading attraction of
the season, and those who are dis
eliminating in the choice of their

in attending this show. We have
no hesitancy in ENDORSING the talent
in my Wife's Family" to those who
like refined comedy and good music.

There were three new ministers

services at the Methodist. Baptist
and berland Presbyterian
churches were therefore of a special

St Louis, Nov. 20,--J. II. Fowlkes,
a Doniphan, Mo-, farmer, while en-
route to his newly-purchased farm
near Newbern, Tenn, was MUIR
dered and robbed OF 1850 in an
Iron Mountain box car on a siding

His head was beaten to a pulp, and
the car, in which we're his house,

m, when the FIRE department re-
sponded to an alarm and put out
the fire in the car, which stood on
a siding waiting to be picked up by
train on the Cairo branch of the
Iron Mountain road. His body was
found on the floor of the car partly
consumed. Those who saw the
body declare that beyond question
he was beaten to death before the
fire was started.
Fowlkes was well to do Recently
he sold farm near Doniphan and

home.

Dear Editor. We got the dear old
Commercial all right. Thank you
so much for sending 1t so prompt.
Don't see how we could do without
it, since we have been taking II so
long. Since we came down here
we can hear from our old home and
friends and neighbors once a week.
1t is so much pleasure to myself
and my wife to hear from those we
left behind, but if We live We won't
be away from our old neighbors
only through the winter season,
then we hope to mingle with our
obion friends again. There is no
place on earth better to us than
obion County. We like Crockett
County very well, and like the peo-
pie very well, but there is no place
like home, sweet home.

Know How.
Slow eating will solve one-half the
problem Of Ill health. Those who suf-
fer already with indigestion and weak
stomach can with care and the use Of
Mi-o-na stomach tablets restore their
digestion to a healthy condition, so
that they can eat what they want at
any time without fear Of distress or
suffering.
After a few days. use Of Mi.o-na
stomach tablets, the headache, dizzy
feeling, drowsiness, bad taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, nervousness,
sleeplessness, distress after eating
all these symptoms Of weak stomach
viii disappear, and perfect diges-
tion and a good skin Will show that
the vital machinery is once more run
ming smoothly.
Take little Mi-o-na tablet before
each meal so that 1t will stimulate
the digestive juices and give strength
to the stomach, and then Il will take
care Of the food that is eaten without
indigestion and the unpleasant full
feeling With which SO many suffer af-
ter meals.
The Red Cross Drug Store has SO
much confidence In the power Of Mi
o.na to cure indigestion and all stom-
ach ills that they give a guarantee
with every soc box TO refund the mon
ey IL the remedy fails TO give satisfac-
tion.

Memory of Mrs. Beckham.

The remains OF Mrs. B. f. Beck
ham arrived in the city last Satur'
day, accompanied by Mr.. Beckham
and daughter, Harriet.
On Sunday afternoon at230 serv-
ices were held at the Methodist
Church, crowded with friends who
came to pay their tribute to the
memory of one of their number.
Addresses were made by the pas
tor, Rev. w. c. Sellers, and Rev. ],
J. Castleberry.
The funeral escort then moved to
the City Cemetery, where the body
was laid to rest, the grave being
covered with beautiful floral en-
bleins.
Mrs. Beckham was first in her
home and the love and devotion of
her family, but from the abundance
of warm and tender heart the cir
Gle of her friendship expanded to
all parts of the city. She was q
useful and exemplary member of
the Methodist Church, Christian
in spirit and IN truth, a character
filled with the beauty of intelli-
gence and loving kindness. She
was socially esteemed and in all the
relations of lite observed the same
regard for her CHRISTIAN duty.
The bereavement is great, and
the fragrance of a sweet and ten
der memory will not repay the loss,
but the hope Of a meeting in
another and better world will heal
the wounded hearts.

500 1T NOW"

EDITOR JoURNAL:-Your editorial in
last weeks Journal, headed "Do Some
thing" is certainly a timely article,
and along the right lire. Our Board Of
Trade has been inactive SO long, it will
take about two years to find out how far
behind we are. We must admit that
our Board Of Trade is doing absolutely
nothing. Not one cent is it spending to
advertise our town or bring new indus
tries.
Your editorial is right. We must
have more manufacturing enterprises
if we continue our growth.
Within the last two weeks parties
were here who desire to build small
cotton factory and start up at once.
all they ask is suitable building that
could be leased for few years. They
propose to put in plant that would
give employment to about forty hands,
day and night. That would add very
materially to our present large weekly
payroll, ard would benefit every bust
ness man in Marietta. These men are
waiting short time to see what, if
anything, can be done here.
An active Board of Trade in wide
awake town would never miss an oppor-
tunity like this.
l am glad you spoke out just at this
time. Let US reorganize the Board of
Trade, and not stop at that. Let's "do
something" Let's offer some induce
ment to these people who prefer our
town and who are knocking at our door,
They are experienced cotton mill peo-
pie, and are now operating a mill in an
other Georgia town. 1t will mean the
coming of larger plant if we get this
one now.
Nearly all our neighboring small
towns have built factories in the last
few years, and are much more active
than we are.
The truth is that if we did not have
the best town in the world-an auto
matte town, we would have stagnated
long ago. think every business man
in Marietta realizes that we need some
thing done along this line just now.
would suggest that a meeting be
called at once to consider these mat
tiers. "Do something" and "doitnow -
Very truly,

A CARD.

Words are inadequate to express our
gratitude for the love shown our dear
boy and the tender sympathy expressed
for us during ell the months of his af.
tiction. These have been manifested
in manifold ways. He often spoke Of
the kindnesses shown him aud hoped
to live to show his appreciation of them,
but this was denied him. Now, that he
is gone, we wish to thank all who, by
word or act, sought to tighten his bur-
den. And was ever greater burden laid
on young manhood?
In our sorrow, our friends have been
the dearest and best. We cannot hope
to thank each OF these personally, but
from the depths of our hearts, we dc
appreciate them all.

HOW IT WAS DONE,

This comes from San Jose, III. ::
Eighteen months ago, pronounced by
physicians hopeless cosumptive, with
but short time to live. John A. Hamil-
ton to-day has resumed his work as a
telegraph operator here for the Chicago
q Alton. He weighed l28 pounds year
and a half ago. Now he weighs 1874.
Hamilton owes his recovery to a per-
sistent diet OF raw eggs and sweet milk.
Twelve eggs and sometimes half GAL
lon OF sweet milk are his daily food and
drink. Other articles he does not at
tempt to eat. Hamilton has visited the
physicians who told him death was onlv
q matter Of few weeks. They have
marveled at his recovery, and are read y
to give credit TO the milk and eggs"
We have several people in Marietta
who are trying the milk and eggs diet.
Some on the purely milk, eating moth
ing else. The result has been very
beneficial, One lady who had indiges.
ton abandoned all meats and breads
and drank plenty of sweet milk, and
she gained seventeen pounds in few
weeks. Roses are blooming on hel
cheeks, and she has been cured of indi.
gestion entirely. Natures first diet
Is nutritious, and restores health
People eat too much, and too much
solid foods anyway.
