prepared! for the Society BY Frank H.
Smith. This was a company mostly
of farmers boys from near Santa Fe,
none of whom had any knowledge OF
heavy artillery until few hours be-
fore the attack on FIT. Donelson, yet
no Federal gun boat succeeded IN
passing their batteries. The account
OF the commOn-sense pillow boy sug-
gestions Of. whftewashtng the trees
for exact range-forked switch sights
for the cannon--coat tails cut off for
patching cannes balls-removfng the
explosives from the shells and filling
with lead to give greater weight to
the uroiectile-amd when one such got
stuck in the cannon, driving 1t home
! with a sapling ramrod struck by
sIedge hammers, these and many
other items were much enjoyed. The
paper was very complete, covering
! the entire organization of the compa-
ny, with Incidents and anecdotes or
battles, camp life, hospital and prison
experiences. Many photographs OF
FIT. Donelson were shown, also pic
! ture of the United States steamer Mis-
sfssippi, destroyed at Port Hudson. In
giving vote of thanks to the author
I IT was urged that this history should
! be published in book, or at least in

the history made the hour too late to

 Cast of characters, Marvel Stock com pany: Jack Haverly, Charles Brewer; Sir Edwin Boothe, J. H. Mclaughlin; Mile. Adelina Flaleye, Mayme Spellman; Ras- tus, Percy Spelman.
 We need not mention the ability of MT. Percy Spellman, who takes the part of blackface comedian in his company. as he and his company have been with the Marvel four weeks and he has more than made good. The people applaud and shout Rastus at every entrance.
 We have also secured the act of Great Zento and his wife-the greatest myster- ious novelty act ever played in the city. Zento also does the greatest straight jacket act ever brought south and in connection his wife does a marvellous rope tieing act. These people played 16 weeks straight in the Majestic theatre of Chicago-the largest and swellest the- atre in the country-which recommends their act We also have another single act on the bill we can highly recom- mend.

COTTON RECEIPTS
 LARGE IN PERRY
A TOTAL OF 575o BALES HAS AL READY BEEN RECEIVED AT MARIoN-A NEGRO RAISES THE FINEST STAPLE.

Marion, October A.-(Special.)-The to- tai cotton receipts here this season are 575O bales, which is about 2O0O bales in excess of the net receipts this time last year. From information gathered from various parts of the county it Is estimated that 60 per cent of the crop has already reached the market. The continued fa- vorable weather has resulted in the staple being picked as fast as it has opened. In the hill sections of the county practically all of the crop has been gathered but along the river and cotton belt there is a large per cent still in the fields.
 Robert Murphy, a negro, living near Marion, sold a bale of the finest cot ton brought to this market on Friday. It was of the Strickland variety and readily brought 10 cents, while the best of other grades were only worth S% cents. Murphy is an industrious far mer. He raises all of his corn and meat, besides a quantity of cattle and other feedstuffs.
 The new city well has been bored to a depth of $40 feet and there is no in dications so far of a lasting stream of water.

 Miss Adams has a beautiful soprano voice of dramatic color. She sang in charming manner two songs of Mendel- ssohn and Franz, but rose to the full measure of her vocal and artistic quali1- cations in the (GounoD Cavantine, from the "Queen of Sheba," which was reve- lation of beauty and brilliancy.
 The modest art of playing an accom- paniment is one not possessed by many otherwise brilliant and skilled musicians Miss Williams piano accomplishments were beautiful and her musical attain ments were shown to a high degree.
 MT. Bruner's performance of Volch- man) Postlude was brilliant close to the programme.
 There were solidity, beauty and grace of art throughout the evening, and it was an occasion of musical delight to the peo- ple of Marion.

Charcoal Purifies
 Any Breath
And In Its Purest Form Has Long Been Known as the Greatest
 Gas Absorber

Pure willow charcoal will oxidize al- most any odor and render it sweet and pure. A painful in a foul cellar will ab- sorb deadly fumes, for charcoal absorbs 100 times its volume in gas.
 The ancients knew the value of char coal and administered 1t in cases of ill., ness, especially pertaining to the stomach. In England today charcoal poultices are used for ulcers, boils, etc., while some physicians in Europe claim to cure many skin diseases by covering the afflicted skin with charcoal powder.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges go into the mouth and transfer four odors at once into oxygen, absorb noxious gases and acids and when swallowed mix with the digestive juices and stop gas making, fermentation and decay.
 By their gentle qualities they control beneficially bowel action and stop diar- rhoea and constipation.
 Bad breath simply cannot exist when charcoal is used. There are no ifs or ands about this statement. Don't take our word for 1t. but look into the mat ter yourself. Ask your druggist or physi- clan, or better still, look up charcoal in your encyclopedia. The beauty of Stu arts Charcoal Lozenges is that the high est pharmaceutical expert knowledge ob- tainable has been used to prepare a 1ozenge that will give to man the best form of charcoal for use.
 Pure willow and honey is the result. Two or three after meals and at bedtime sweeten the breath, stop decay of teeth. aid the digestive apparatus and promote perfect bowel action. They enrich the supply of oxygen to the system and there by revivify the blood ana nerves.
 stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold everywhere in vast quantities. thus they must have merit. Every druggist carries them. price, 25 cents per box, or send US your name and address and we will send you trial package by mail free. Ad- dress F. A. Stuart Co.,, 200 Stuart Bldg. Marshall Mich.
