er ends the kitchen and dairy, and
the daughters the parlor and school.
This it is thought will give them
grace and culture and fit them to
adorn the high position they are
expected to fill, but raely do. Let
us think on these things, and in
delibly stamp it upon our hearts,
no amount of culture and eases can
make amends for the lack of in
dustry and thrift.
The habit of treating those who
are, nearest and dearest to us with
disconrtesy and disregard, is one
that clouds the sunshine of too
many homes. When we learn to
be polite not only as society peo-
pie, but as husbands and wiye' s
sisters and brothers, parents and
we shall do well. No
home can be happy wherein sar-
castle speech and rude disregard
for one another's rights is the
rule.

A summary of the recent congress
sional primaries held in the state fur
nishes striking illustration of the
apathy prevailing among Mississippians
in matters political. In no district did
the vote cast for the congressional can
didates, either in first or second pri-
mary, exceed 10000, while the total
vote cast in the eight districts, in round
numbers, was about $4,000. In the
senatorial election last year $4,000
votes were cast. 1t is thus evident that
about so per cent of the qualified voters
Of the state did not take enough inter-
est in the congressional primaries to 90
to the polls and exercise the right of
franchise.

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn is foul IL
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption OF
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
nation of disease throughout the body.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn--absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulouS swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
II you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and Respondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom-
Acn, cOnStlpaIed or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
blenumber of them, indicate that you are
suffering from biliousness, torpid or lazy

gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.

TWO GIANTS IN HEIGHT
GIVEN GAZE OF CROWD

Clay Clark, the man Of altitude as
well as Of numerous good qualities
and genial withal, has had the people
of Macon-all of them-looking up to
him recently, as his handsome face
is fixed at point some two and a
half yards above. the pavement level.
The Telegraph tells of his visit
there and a stroll with q friend,
almost as greatly favored by nature
in height and looks.
People who were on Cherry street
yesterday were presented with an I'M
usual sight, that of two very tall
men, one six-feet-eleven and the other
six-feet-six, and both handsome men,
taking a stroll down the street, APP
parently unmindful of the fact that
they were being looked at
The taller of the two was Clay
Clark, who travels for the Martinez
Cigar Company, and who is from
Americas, and well known to many
in Macon where he has a number of
relatives. The other was Eugene
Grace, representing the Detroit Graph
lite Company, now of New York.
These giants met at the fountain
where Bob ONeal draws soda with
one hand and writes organs chances
with the other, and seeing their re-
Elections in the mirror, rather warm
ed to each other. Then they saw
the Elk's antlers on the lapels and
they shook hands and exchanged
cards.
Then they took coca cola and
walked down the street to the edifica-
ton of the people who love hand
some man, especially if he is over
six feet.
