The Taney Co unity Way.

w. B. Sayler returned yesterday
from two days business trip through
Taney county.
81 was very much impressed with
the country | saw and I prophecy
that in the next ten years it will be-
come the richest county in the state,
the Carthage man said today, 'for
there is no doubt that it contains gold,
silver, copper iron, lead and zinc, and
is underlaid with oil and gas, while
the surface soil is the finest fruit land
in the United States,
"People got the wrong impression OF
the county from the stories told OF 1t.
But they really do some odd things
here.
"While away attended the circuit
court session at Forsyth and after en-
teriug the court room lighted Car
thage cigar and smoked while cour
was in session. 1t was the first time
ever did trick like that. The oull
excuse bad wac that the Judge wa
smoking a pipe, half OF the iurymeI
were smoking and regular cloud o
smoke arose from the crowd that wa
listening TO the case. While / wa
wondering at the spectacle, is yea
old boy entered the court room smok
ing cigarette.
"Bring that boy before me, Mr.
Sheriff." commanded the Judge.
"The cigarette smoker was brough
before the Judge and then he gave hir
severe talk on the evils OF smOkin
tobacco in that form, fined him for cor
tempt OF court and finally suspende
the fine during good behavior. Th
magistrate wound up by saying that
pipe was the limit, and cigareti
would not go. o."-Carthage Press.

CORRECT SPEAKING.

All young people should ac-
quire, in early life, the habit Of
correct speaking and writing, and
to abandon, as early as possible,
any use of slang words and phrases.
The longer you live the more diff
cult the language will be; and il
the golden age ofyouth, the prop
er season for the acquisition of Ian
guage, be passed in its abuse, the
unfortunate victim, If neglected, is
very properly doomed to talk slang
for life. Money is not necessary
to procure this education. Every
man has it in his power, He has
merely to use the language which
he reads instead of the slang
which he hears; to form his taste
from the best of speakers and poets
in the country; to treasure up
choice phrases in his memory and
habituate himself to their use,
avoiding at the same time that
pedantic precision and bombast
which show the weakness of vain
ambition rather than the polish of
an educated mind.

MARRIED MEN.

There is an expression in the
face of a good married man who
has a good wife, that a bachelors
face cannot possess. 1t is inde-
scribable. He is a little nearer
the angels than the handsomest
young fellow living. You can see
that his broad breast is a pillow
for somebody's head, and that
little fingers pulled his whiskers.
No one ever mistakes the good
married man. 1t is only the er-
ratio one that leaves you in doubt.
The good one can protect all the
unprotected females, and make
himself generally agreeable to the
ladies', and yet never leave a
doubt on any mind that there is a
precious little woman at home
worth all the world to him.

the tenor of bis life to exempliiy
the virtues they express. Such
man has decision of character; he
knows what is right and is firm in
pursuing it; he thinks and acts for
himself, and is not to be made the
tool of unprincipled and time serv-
ing politicians to do the dirty work
OF party. Such a man has true
worth of character; his life is
blessing to himself, to his family,
to society and to the world; and
he is pointed out to future genera
tions as a proper example for the
rising youth to emulate.

GOOD COUNSEL.

No young man can hope to rise
in society, or perform worthily his
part in life, without a fair moral
character. The basis of such a
character is virtuous, fixed sense
Of moral obligation, sustained and
invigorated by the fear and love
of God. The youth who possesses
such character can be trusted.
Integrity, justice, benvoleace,
truth, are not with him woids with
out meaning; he feels and knows
their sacred import and aims in

THE WAYS.

There are two ways OF starting
on liGe's journey One is to begin
where your parents are ending
magnificent mansions, splendid
furniture, and an elegant turnout.
The other is to begin little near
or where father and mother-of
blessed memory-began. You
see you can go up as easily and
gracefully, if events show it would
be sale; but It would be trying and
awkward to come down. And it
costs much now to live. And
business huctuates; and health is
uncertain, and temptations from
the side of pride are strong, and
many a young man who did not
mean to be extravagant, has been
led along; and rather than face the
position, and descend maniulIy,
has tried to keep up by embezzle-
ment and been called a "swindler. E"
Our prisons are rapidly being filled
by those who make the mistake OF
beginning life at the top OF the
ladder.

III THE HonE NEST
Cheerful Evening Reveries for Tired
Mothers
MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.


Those are Just the words. Had
we looked through "Webster's
Unabridged" we could not have
found four words that expressed
so entirely our meaning as these.
We believe the four words were
made with direct reference to the
grumbling, growing mischief
makers.
People who never mind their
own business are very much such
a class of animals as the cross,
surly, whiHet dogs, that are al
ways barking, biting and nabbing
somebody. We wonder if they
would appreciate lecturer We
will ask them a few questions Just
to find out Don't you think the
world and the people in it will
live and prosper without the tre-
mendous anxiety you carry on your
shoulders by keeping an eye on
everything and everybody in tn e
whole neighborhood and world be-
sides? Can't Mrs. A, make a
sweet-cake without your lying
awake nights for fear there is 60
ing to be wedding and you will
not beinvited? Can't Jennie have
new gown but you must immedi-
ately see it, know the price, and
| for what special occasion it was
purchased, or die of curiosityn
Can't neighbor B, and his wife so
by but you'll bet they're going TO
see somebody and have sighted
you?
Did God make you and us on
purpose to superintend His uni
verse, and everybody's affairs and
assume the control of the "free
will" he gave men2 Is this the
purpose and plan Of our existence
and destiny, to forever be med.
ding with somebody's business
| 1t gives us "that tired feeling" tc
think of the pains some people
take to gather the smallest item Of
"news." They leave their owr
garden to grow full Of weeds while
they are trying to hold up before
everybody the few they pull iron
their neighbor's. They do every
thing but mind their own business
I They never speak of their owl
faults or iollies. No, indeed; b!
the time the whole town is crit
cised and judgment pronounced
they have not a moment left to d.
more than congratulate themselve
on their own good works.

The Story of a Medicine.

It's name-"Golden Medical Discovery
vas suggested by one of its most import
ant and valuable ingredients - Golden
Seal root.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use of pure,
triple-refned glycerine, aided by GER
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famed "Golden Medical Discovery" for
the cure of weak stomach, Indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and
kindred arrangements was first made, as
it ever since has been, without a particle
of alcohol in it's makeup.
A glance atthe full list of its ingredi-
ents, printed on every bottle-wrapper
will show that it is made from the most
valuable medicinal roots found growing
in our American forests. All these in
gradients have received the strongest en-
dorsement from the leading medical ex-
perts, teachers and writers on Mdterid
MedtcG who recommend them as the very
best remedies for the diseases for which
UGolden Medical Discovery" is advised.
A little book of these endorsements has
been compiled by DR.. R. V. Pierce, of
Buffalo, n. Y, and will be mailed free to
any one asking same by postal card, or
letter addressed to the Doctor as above.
From these endorsements, copied from
standard medical books of all the differ
ent schools of practice, it will be found
that the ingredients composing the "Gold-
en- Medical Discovery" are advised not
only for the cure of the above mentioned
diseases, but also for the cure of all ca
tarrhal, bronchial and throat affections,
accompanied with catarrhal discharges,
hoarseness, sore throat, lingering, or
hang-on- coughs, and all those wasting
affections which, if not promptly and
properly treated are liable to terminate
in consumption. Take DR.. Pierce's Dis
covery in time and persevere in its use
pntil you give it a fair trial and it is not
dkely to disappoint. Too much must not
be expected of it. 1t will not perform
miracles. 1t will not cure consumption
In its advanced stages. No medicine will.
1t l0ttL cure the affections that lead up to
consumption, If taken iil time.

WORK ON THE DODSON
STORE TO BEGIN NOW
10 Rebuild The Cranberry
Corner
HANDSOME STRUCTURE is ASSURED
Old Cranberry Building Will Be En-
tIreIy Changed in Arranging
Quarters There for the
DOdSOn Pharmacy.

To the end of providing a new home
keeping with the rapid growth OF its
business, a lease of the former Granber-
ry building, at Lamar and Jackson
streets, for term of years has been eff
fected by this enterprisng company.
And a beautiful and modern building
will take the place of this ancient land
mark, which enjoys the distinction of
being the first brick building ever
erected in Americas.
This was away back in 1850, and the
man who moulded the brick for it is
still right here.
He is Mr.. A. A. Willett, an old aud
honored citizen. At that time there
was pond where now stands the hand
some residence of Judge Il. A. Little
john and the brick for this old build
ing. palace in It's day, were made by
Mr.. Willett right there.
The building was erected for Furlow
& Bro, at that time engaged in mer-
camille business.
And now after lapse of nearly sixty
years the old building is to give place
to modern structure, Tomorrow the
f ont walls will be pulled down, al
half the side wall.
Mr.. DOdson will put in a handsome
plate glass front the full length of the
building on Lamar street, and nearly
the length on Jackson street. This will
give to the new structure a strikingly
handsome appearance.
Marble tiling will compose the floor,
while steelI ceiling will add to the
beauty of the building. The new struc-
ture will have every modern conven-
ience and appliance for model phar-
macy, and will be ready for occupancy
early in September.
The cost of the improvements will be
$4,000 or $1,000, and nothing will be
sparedt owards making it the model

AMERICUS MAY HAVE THREAD WAR
As Result OF Advance in Price of
SpOOIS.

A cent is a small thing to kick
| about, but in behalf of the thousands
of ladies of this section who will be
affected thereby the Pinkston Com
pany of Americus is going to kick,
and kick hard, against the order sent
on" by the Coates Thread Co. to ad-
vance the price of thread from to 6
cents a spool. In other words, this
I enterprising firm is gong to continue
right on selling Coates thread at 5
CENTS, despite the alleged effort of
competitors here to have it ''frozen
out'' by 4he thread trust. The advance
is unwaranted in the first place, and
the penny business will prove an in
tolerable nuisance. This is not a
penny section of the United States
people abhor pennies, and to buy a
spool of thread will necessitate the
purchaser Juggling away a handful of
the germ injected coins. Despite the
royal mandate of King Coates the
Pinkston Co is going to sell thousands
of dozens of its thread at cents-the
old price-whether or not others here
advance the cost and despite the
alleged attempted boycott.

its present pastor, Rev. r. i. Bivins.
He was then a student at the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary in Louis
Vile, but accepted the call, entered
upon the discharge of his duties as
pastor the first of June 1897, coming
directly from the Seminary to Ameri-

This was his first pastorate, and he
the church's first pastor, and for ten
years pastor he has labored among
this people with that energy, good
Judgment and Christian zeal character

history of the church will only partial

good have gone far beyond the con-

In his pastoral work he has always
had the efficient assistance of a Cody

appreciated by his church. After it's

At the first meeting of the Friendship

in said Association and was received
