A Good Woman.

The life Of y good woman is the one
thing more precious than all others in
all that conspires to maintain the
higher civilization of mankind, and
the one thing which, when removed
from it's sphere in society, can be esti-
mated only out of the depths Of the
aching heart. There is nothing in all
earth that can compensate the family
circle, the church andssociety at large
for the loss sustained in the death of
good woman, especially one who
has been consecrated to the duties of
awife and mother. Columbia Record.

here, insures the immediate Inaugural
ton of that important work. Chairman
j. II. Daniel stated yesterday that it

already been drawn and accepted there
will be no delay in making the start.
AS stated elsewhere, two of the three
main buildings are to be first erected,
while the third one-the girls dormi-
tory-will be built later. Besides the
two large brick buildings to go up now
the academic hall and the boys dor
mitory-there will be numerous small
Ter buildings, including barns, stables,
etc. which will be erected during the
summer. Brickmasons and carpenters
will soon be busy 'down on the farm"

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at leafs
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all It's stages, and
that is Catarrb. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease requires a con-
stitutiOnal treatment. Halls Catarrh
is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun-
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in it's curative powers that
the offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list
of testimonials.

Cotton Prices Continue To Improve
Daily

Still better came the cotton news yes
terday, and the hopes ofthe warehouse
man ballooned accordingly at the pros
pect of putting the 1913" tag on bales
that for months have filled the storage
room. The gain during the past three
days has been slow but steady, and it
is believed by Americas cotton men
that eleven cents is now an early pro-
liability. And at that price the linger-
ing bale is going with a suddenness
calculated to jar the buyer. Holders
here are anxious to sell at eleven cents,
but under that price they will hold on
with bulldog tenacity to their few re-
naming bales.
