We have succeeded in securing the

train dispatcher at Beaumont. Texas,
on the Sante Fe Railroad. to conduct
the School of T~elegraphy, devoting
his entire time to this work, which will
begin December l. 1907.
The eight hour law, which will go
into effect January l, will require three
telegraph operators for all positions
where only two are now sufficient.
Therefore the demand for operators
will be greatly increased. For several
years to come no telegraph operators
will ever be out of a job unless he
strikes.
Write to us about entering; also get
a catalog OF the Institute, with full In
formation concerning all departments.
We have a large brick main building
and two large brick dormitories, one
for each sex.

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL
LOCATED AT VERONA

At meeting of the Board of
Education in the Office of the
county superintendent of educa-
ton with all members present,
O. L. Kennedy first district, Hub
bard Holloway, second, j. A,
Morgan, third, T. M. Clark,
fourth, E. F. Temple, fifth, the
question of location of the Lee
County Agricultural High School
was taken up for final disposition.
After a discussion of the mat
ter that consumed several hours
time, the board came to vote
between Verona and Cedar Hill,
the only contestants for the place.
By avote Of 3 to 2 Verona was
selected, the vote standing T. M.
Clark, E. F. Temple, j. A. Nor
gan for Verona and O. L. Kenne-
dy and Hub. Holloway for Cedar
Hill. One of the controlling in
fluences that made Verona the
successful contestant was the ter
riuorial advantage in being near
er the center of the county. Ce-
dar Hill came in with a very
strong bid and was well backed
Iup by a large number of friends
and strong influences, but her To-
cation in one corner of the coun-
ty was against her. There were
a number of advantages urged,
plausible and real, in favor of Ce-
dar Hill and at one time it look
ed like she had everything her
way. After the arguments before
the board, however, a vote show
ed that majority of one favored
Verona.
The location of the school at
Verona adds another to her sew
eral superior advantages as a
school town. One of the best
graded schools in North Missis-
s!ppi is in operation there and
with the agricultural high school
the old town will move toward to
greater things.

LYDIA E. PINKHNM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that tho
world has ever known.
In the good fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t 10
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.
