Good Cough Medicine FOR Children

Good Cough Medicine FOR Children.
The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can
not be used to protect the children.
A child is much more likely to con-
tract diphtheria or scarlet fever when
he has a cold. The quicker you cure
his cold the less the risk. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the sole re-
lance of many mothers, and few of
those who have tried it are willing to
use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher,
of Ripley, w. Va, says: 81 have
never used anything other than Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy, for my chill
dren and it has always given good
satisfaction" This remedy contains
no opium or other narcotic and may
be given as confidently to a child as
to an adult. For sale by Hays &

Cotton States League
viii Continue to Lice;
Chance For Hdttiesburg

Some fear has been expressed in
certain quarters that the Cotton States
League might go dead, but the latest
information is to the effect that it
will be held intact. There is still
a chance for Hattiesburg to get in the
league and it ought to be done. but
there seems to be very little interest
manifested in the matter. If, how
ever, the fans of Hattiesburg want
to get in the game, some steps to
that effect should be taken at once.
Speaking of the prospects of the Cot
ton States League, the Jackson News
says:
The first best bet is that when the
board of directors of the Cotton States
League meets here next Thursday it
will be decided by an unanimous vote
to preserve the organization.
This prediction is made despite ru-
mors generally current to the effect
that the league is about to disband.
There is no likelihood whatever that
the organization will go out of exist
ence, but there is very large likeii-
hood that it will be enlarged to an
circuit.
Advices received here last night
state that Natchez will be in readi-

To Install
new BISHOP

Rockford, ILL.,, December 15.-Bishop
Muldoon was formerly enthroned as
head of the Rockford diocese today,
scores of distinguished Catholic cler-
gymen from all over the middle West
coming here for the ceremony.
Archbishop Quigley, of Chicago, form
ally transferred the episcopate. In
view of the fact that the bishop is
beginning work in a diocese where
many works of charity are necessary
and the clergy presented him with a
purse for this purpose and to express
the love and esteemk which they en-
terrain for the new prelate. A public
demonstration of greeting in which
both Protestant and Catholic citizens
of Rockford participated, marked the
installation of Bishop Muldoon.

SCanta Clause
Santa Claus has been reading the
letters written to him by the boys and
girls of Hattiesburg with great deal
of interest. Some Of these letters are
nicely written and others are not
quite so carefully prepared. It would
be well for the children to remember
that their letters should be plainly
written with ink, if possible, and on
only one side of the paper. If they
are not written this way the editor
has to copy all of them on the type
writer before the printer will handle
them. Santa Claus is getting in a big
stock of nice things for the children
and he is sure to visit the good little
boys and girls and nearly all Of them
are promising to be mighty good 'jes'
