Kennedy's Laxative Cough Syrup
the cough syrup that tastes nearly as
good as maple sugar and which chill
dren like so well to take. Unlike
nearly all other cough remedies, it
does not constipate, but on the other
hand it acts promptly yet gently on
the bowels, through which the cold
is forced out Of the system, and at
the same time it allays Inflammation.
Always use Kennedy's Laxative

Spanning suquatoncha Bottom.

A meeting of citizens was held at
the city hall Wednesday afternoon,
at which Chancellor Baxter Me
Farland was called to the chair and
John R. Young. Esq, acted as sec
rotary
Chairman Mcfarland explained
the object to be the adoption of
measures for spanning the Suqua-
tonchu bottom with a pike that
would admit Of passage during all
/ seasons. The Chickasaw Drainage
Commission is cutting a canal in
that vicinity and by an arrangement
with the Commission the waste earth
from its excavations can be utilized
for the construction of this pike or
levee if the proposition is acted up
on in the next few days. The canal
crosses the main road near the Mon
roe and Clay county line, and Clay
county has already proposed to
furnish the lumber for flooring if
A berdeen and Monroe will grade
the dumped earth and lay the floor,
which is estimated to cost from
ST 200 to 81 800. The stretch of
roadway at this point is the shortest
for many miles above or below, be-
ing probably less than a mile be-
tween the table lands on each side
of the creek.
The meeting was enthusiastically
addressed by Chancellor Mcfarland,
Messrs. Adam Carlisle, Kirby Lam
and others. when a committee con-
sisting of Messrs. John P. Thorn
son, II. II. Scrape and Abe Rubel,
was appointed to raise the funds,
and Messrs. a. Glove, John Hen
ley and Adam Carlisle as commit
tee to let contracts.
1t is needless to speak of the great
advantage to the commerce Of the
city, that this avenue of communi-
I cation with the rich section beyond
the Suquatoncha will afford. 1t is
claimed that at least six thousand
bales of cotton annually will be add
ed to our trade by people who have
wanted to patronze this market but
could not reach it.
