Mr.. ]. A. Maddrey to Leave.

Mr.. J. A. Maddrey has left for Wins

Mr.. Madrey cashier Mr.. Maddrey held
that position until the first of the year

Mr.. Hickman recently sold out his In
terests to the new company.
There are probably few, if any, better
known or popular men in Henderson
county than J. A. Maddrey. Being lden-
tilted with the banking interests OF the
own during the past 18 years, he mas
como into contact with practically al
the people of this section, and by his
courtesy, his tact and we'll known busl-

HOME MAZE REMEDY
FOR RHEU MATlSM.

To relieve the worst forms OF Rheu-
matism, take a teaspoonful of the fol-
lowing mixture after each meal and at
bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-halt
ounce; Compound Kargon, enc ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in bottle.
These harmless ingredients can be
obtained from any good pharmacy.
This prescription states well-known
authority, forces the clogPed-up, in
active kidneys to filter and strain from
the blood the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid, which causes Rheuma'
tism. Relief is felt from the first few
doses.
1t is said that q person who would
take this pr escription regularly, dose
or two daily. or even a few times week
would never have serious kidney OF
Urinary disorders or Rheumatism.
Cut this out and preserve it. Good
Rheumatism prescriptions which really
relieve are scarce indeed, and wher
you need it you want it badly.

About the City Jail.

The Board of Town Commissioners
are considering the advisability OF |
keeping the prisoners arrested by the
city officers on the first floor of the city |
hall, instead of in the basement, where
two iron cages are built to accommo-
date them. The library, formerly on
the ground floor. has been removed to
the court house, upstairs.
In reference to the contemplated
change, Mr.. NJ. T. Justus, who superin-
tended the construction of the building,
and who has been more or less identi-
fed with it always. says.
'tMy experience and iudgem ent about
this matter convinces me that 1t is nos
advisable to change the prisoners room
from the basement to the ground hoor.
I have tried it and found it very un-
satisfactory. Downstairs, the prisoners,
who are ofteu unruly, noisy, and ohen-
sive in many ways, are secure ana the
noise they make can disturb no one.
The windows in the IRE department.
should be kept open as much as possl-
BILE, which would keep the cells dry.
[ think it very suitable place for the
men whom it is necessary to put there.
On the other hand, If placed in one OF
the upper rooms, which face on w. a.
Smiths property, their often profane
and abusive language may be heard
plainly on the street 1t is not right to
damage Mr.. Smiths property in any
such way. And there are other rooms
on the same floor, which it would be
impossible to rent or do anything with,

THE ART or TALKING.
Things That Are Essential to q Good
COnversatiOna1ist.

COnversat1OnahSts
To be a good conversationaIist you
must be spontaneous, buoyant. natural,
sympa thetic; and must have a spirit OF
good will. You must feel a spirit OF
helpfulness and must enter heart and
soul into things which interest others.
You must get the attention Of people
and hold it by interesting them, and
you can only interest them by warm
sympathy-a real. friendly sympathy.
If you are cold, distant and unsympa-
thetic you cannot get their attention.
To be good conyersationalist you
must be broad, tolerant. A narrow.
stingy soul never talks well. A man
who is always violating your sense or
taste, of justice and of fairness never
interests you. You lock tight all the
approaches to your inner self, every
avenue is closed to him, and when they
are closed your magnetism and your
helpfulness are cut OF, and the con-
versation is perfunctory, mechanical
and without life or feeling.
You must bring your listeners close
to you, must open your heart wide and
exhibit a broad, free nature and an
open mind. You must be responsive

every avenue of his nature and give
| you free access to his heart or hearts

was sufficient grounds for the first named
