 Quality

appeal to the We'll Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing. Accor- ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, swcetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any facilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time.
 It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objection able substances. To get it's beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading drug gists.

mAcHInE-GRoUND PAINT.

Occasionally one hears the hand. mixed" paint of the painter slightingly spoken of as "unscientifc" and mot thoroughly mixed" The facts are all on the side of the painter and his hand prepared paint.
 Ii is the most scientific" paint there is. because it is made on the spot to suit the particular purpose for which it is to be used. It is as scientific as a good doctors prescription. If the nainter did not mix it thus it would be as unscientific as patent medi- cine. Moreover, the paint which a good painter turns out is made or genuine white lead and pure lfnseed oil. If he does not mix 1t himselr ne is not sure what is in it, and conse- quently his client cannot be sure.
 As for not being thoroughly mixed by machinery, that is simply mis- statement. White Lead as made by National Lead Company is thorough ly incorporated with or per cent of pure Linseed oil in the factory, mak- ing a paste This paste need only pe thinned with additional linseed oil to make it ready for the brush.
 The thorough incorporation of pig ment and oil has already been accom- plished before the painter gets it.
 To know how to tell pure white lead is a great advantage to both painter and house-owner. National Lead Con- pany will send tester free to anyone interested Address the company at Woodbridge Building, New York, N. Y.

HON. ROBERT c. WIcKLIFFE.

Hon. Robt. C. Wickliffe, of West Feliciana,
candidate for Congress from the Sixth District,
addressed the people at Cantrelle's Hall last
Monday evening. AS a speaker, he is clear,
concise, forcible. AS an orator he is the peer
of any who has visited Covington. But that
which is better than orarory or style is his manly
character, energy, and ability as worker.
There is much that such man can do for US
in Congress. Session after session has passed,
year after year we have waited for an appro-
priation sufficient to clear our navigable streams
and give us unobstructed water ways By a
little effort on our part we will be entitled to a
Government building. We recognize in Mr..
Wickliffe man who can and will assist us in
getting these things. 1t is the man who works
that accomplishes, and the reliance placed upon
the promise of Mr.. Wickliffe that he will work
to secure us these things, and his assertion that
he believes he can succeed in doing SO, makes it
to the interest of the voters of this district to
give him the opportunity. A representatives s
first duty is to his constituency. The interest
of his home people should command his supreme
effort. Their need should be an incentive to the
exercise of all the power that can be brought tC
bear and all the eloquence of heart filled with
the love of home.
The earnestness of Mr. Wickliffe, his GRASP
of the necessities and needs of his district anC
his willingness and desire to devote himself tt
the interest of his constituency in preference tx
building up national reputation for the adj
vancement of his own ambitions, argues force
fully for the support of the people.

GOOD AS FAR AS 1T GOES.

At the meeting of the Council last Tuesday
some very good ordinances were passed. Vesting
authority in the Mayor for the constitution of
Board of Health and defining it's duties; defining
a dangerous and suspicious character and fixing
penalty; providing a penalty for keeping
hog pen within the town limits, except under
restricted rules; providing for the trimming OF
branches of overhanging trees; restricting rapid
and dangerous travel in vehicles or on horse
back in the streets of the town; making it a
misdemeanor for any woman to enter bar
ROOM except as authorized by law; authorizing
the establishment Of pound for stray dogs,
hogs, goats, sheep, running at large in the
streets.
These are all good ordinances, and we note
with pleasure the effort that is being made to
place the town in sanitary condition, to pro-
tect the peace-loving citizen in his rights and
to prevent the congregating of suspicious or dis
orderly characters or the humiliating sight of a
drunken woman; to keep the streets passable
and in healthful, clean condition; to prevent
goats and dogs and hogs and sheep from roam
ing the streets and becoming nuisance and an
eye sore All these things we commend as right
and proper But why is it that nothing is said
about the horse and COW? Is it right that they,
the most hurtful of ALL have been unmentioned
and uncontrolled It is not because public at
tention has not been called to the matter. We
have frequently made known the complaints of
visitors and the protests of property holders at
the damage done by them.
We are again in the field with our demand for
a stock law. There has been plenty of time for
consideration, and judging from expressions OBJ
tanned from citizens formerly opposed to the
law, many converts have been added to the
ist of it's supporters. While nothing further
has been done in the matter than the prepare
ton of petition to be circulated for signatures
and presented to the Council, the admitted ne
cessity for the law should insure it's passage by
the Council without opposition. 1t is clearly in
line with progress and improvement in munich
pal affairs, and should appeal strongly to the
new administration and to every citizen who has
the advancement Of the town at heart. If we
are to have good sidewalks, let us have them
unobstructed by horses and cattle, that they
may be used by ladies and children, free from
annoyance or danger We feel certain no coun-
Gilman will go on record as opposing the enact
ment of a law so necessary to the comfort and
cleanliness of the town.

DILL. The next day he went to the near
est town and and spent it with mer-
chant. Before the year was out ne got
the dollar back. Four times in six
years the dollar came back to him for
produce and three times ne heard of it
in the pockets Of his nelghbors. The
last time he got it back five years ago.
He sent it to a mail order house. He
mas never seen the dollar since, nor
ever will. That dollar will never pay
any more school or road tax for him.
will never build nor brighten any of
the homes of the community. He sent
it entirely out Of the circle Of useful
ness to himself and neighbors.
