We would suggest that an athletic
association be formed, a suitable
hall provided and u combative
projeny be given lessons in the pugi-
listic art. IF the bows want to punch
each others heads once in n while,
not mach harm will be done and
they will soon get over it; but when
it comes down to using knives and
clubs, a different song is being sung,
and the sooner the fathers take a
hand and impress, Enthusiastically.
upon their respective sons the GRIM
inal folly of such action, the less
likely is this paper to haveto record
a tragedy. The axiom-''an ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure''-fits this case exactly, and
there are a number of fathers of
high-spirited youths in this lit g,
town of ours who had better heed
the warning.
Mr.. J. M. Williams, representing

'In 1897 l had a stomach disease
Some physicians said dyspepela, some
consumption. One said I would not live
until Spring. For four years l existed
on boiled milk, soda biscuits, and doc
tors prescriptions. l could not digest
anything | att !; then I picked up n Of
your Almanace and it happened to be
my ~life.saver. I bought q so cent bottle
of Kodol and the benefit l received from
that bottle all the gold in Georgia could
not buy. In two months | went back
to nv work as a machinist, and In three
months / was well and hearty. May you
live long and prosper."-C. N. Cornell,
Roding, Ca, 1906.

great good that's daily done everywhere

Despite the GOODNESS of the wealth
err, tho little folks gathered in full
force for the Easter Egg Hunt, in
the lot adjoining the Baptist Church,
last Saturday evening, and true to
their promise, the good ladies of the
Aid Society of the Methodist Church
cleft no stone unturnedn that each
and every child should enjoy the oc-
casion to the full. We speak for all
when we tender them thanks for
their kindly hospitality.
Miss Mary Warren, of Peden, and
Miss Claudia Warren, of Moses, who
went to Hattiesburg about two
weeks ago, returned Sunday and
went out to their homes in the west
ern part of the county Monday
morning. They were met here by
Miss Mary's brothers Sam, Jr. We
regret to note that Miss Claudia
Warren has been sick during the
entire time of her absence from
home.
The lecture by DR.. Chase, at the
Academy last Friday night, earned
for him praise from all present,
and afforded much pleasure to all
who heard it. The lecturer did not
tire one. interspersing eloquent ora
torical periods with bits of pathos
and humor, and welding all into a
most harmonious whole. Our people
would be gratifed to hear him again
next season.
