Slow eating will solve one.half the
problem Of i'll 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 healthy condition, so
that they can eat what they want at
any time without fear Of distress or
suffering.
After 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
will disappear, and perfect diges-
tion and good skin Will show that
the vital machinery is once more run
ming smoothly.
Take a little Mi-o-na tablet before
each meal so that IL viii stimulate
the digestive juices and give strength
to the stomach, and then IT will take
care Of tie food that is eaten without
indigestion and the unpleasant full
feeling with which 50 many suffer af-
ter meals.

ham arrived in the city last Satur-
day. accompanied by Mr.. Beckham
and daughter, Harriet.

ices we're held at the Methodist

came to pay their tribute to the
memory of one of their number.

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
useful and exemplary member of
the Methodist Church, a 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 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.

The startling exactness with which
Mr.. Sisson gave the mimiery of the
ing song drawing tone OF speech OF
Mr.. Noel was readily recognized and
provoked roars of laughter, before
the name of the Holmes county sta
tesman was coupled with it. We do
not sit in Judgment ON the fairness of
this kind of tactics, but we do con-
cede to TIE one as much right to
bring mockery OF. speech into play,
as for the other to train the fire of
his guns of ridicule upon the price of
socks and the number Of ducats rep
resented IN suit Of clothes. Its as
fair to give as to take, and the rule
seems TO be to pass the blows both
