To relieve the worst forms of
Rheumatism, take a teaspoonful
of the following mixture after
each meal and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup
Sarsaparilla, three ounces.
These harmless ingredients
can be obtained from our. home
druggists, and are easily mixed
by shaking them well in a bottle.
Relief is generally felt from the
first few doses.
This prescription, states we'll
known authority in a Cleveland
morning paper, forces the clog
ged-up, inactive kidneys to filter
and strain from the blood the
poisonous waste matter and uric
acid, which causes Rheumatism.
AS Rheumatism is not only
the most painful and torturous
disease, but dangerous to life,
this. simple recipe will no doubt
be greatly valued by many suffer
sers- here at home, who should at
once prepare the mixture to get
this relief.
It is said that person who
would take this prescription reg

even a few times a week, would.

Urinary disorders or Rheuma-
tism.
Cut this out and preserve it.
Good Rheumatism prescriptions
which really relieve are scarce,
indeed, and when you need it,
you want it badly. Our drug
gists here say they will either
supply these ingredients or make
the mixture ready to take, if any

New Phase.

A new phase of the celebrated six

threatened. While the corps Of depu-
ties from the State Revenue Agent s
office is busily engaged collecting evil

section lands who have removed mer-
charitable timber therefrom, these
lessees are considering the advisable
dty Of bringing suits for damages Oil

boards of supervisors who granted The
leases, alleging that they were will
fully defrauded; that the leases were
entered into with the explicit under
standing that they carried the right
to remove timber, and the supreme
court decision amounts to nothing.
more or less than cold-blooded repu-
dlation Of contract.
These threatened suits have caused
a great deal Of uneasiness among per-
sons who have served on the county
boards of supervisors during the past
ten or fifteen years. It is stated that
able attorneys have been consulted
who express the opinion that in every
instance where the state revenue
agent enforces collections the lessees
have good grounds for action against
the lessons, and large volume Of re-
taliatory litigation is in prospect.

for cotton in Port Gibson recently
when a lot, embracing about BOO
bales, was sold. Some Of the lots
brought as high as 26 5-1O0 cents. But
even this high price was eclipsed d
few days later by one bale bringing
26 IA cents. Certainly Claiborne

New Appraisement.

In order to verify the value of the
property committed to its keeping,
the board of trustees of the peniten-
tiary has decided to have a new in
vensory made of the prison prop
erty.
An appraisement was made of pen
ltentiary realty and personally just
prior to the retirement of the old
board of Messrs. Oliver Clay and
Needham Ball, two of the best known
farmers In the state, and, while not
dlsputing the accuracy Of this inven-
tory, the trustees at the same time
desire to have 1t verified by apprais-
ers of their own appointment. Ac-
cordingly, arrangements are being
made to this end, ard President Wal
ter Clark, of the Mississippi Cotton
Association, has been asked to act as
one of the appraisers. Another selec-
bion will be made within the next day
or two.
The appraisment made by Messrs.
Ball and Clay showed the total value
of prison property to be 1874, 1924,
of which $555, $50 was realty and
$178,572.54 was personally.
No new prisoners have been re-
ceived by the penitentiary from any
county since the lst Of January, no
court terms being IN progress during
the holidays, and It is probable that
the prison population will show net
decrease for the current month.
Travelling Sergeant Walker left yes
terday to bring in several prisoners
whose sentences were affirmed by the
supreme court on Monday.
