Whereas we are called upon again
to mOur the loss Of another COmrade
and member of our Camp, Brother
J. j. Slack, who died at his residence
in the city of Grenada on the
day Of February 1908,
And whereas, We recognized in our
deceased brother a true son of the
South. yer loyal to the cause we love
SO well,
And whereas, We mourn his de-
parture from our midst, and our
Camp feels SenSibly the great loss we
have sustained in his death, both as a
citizen and soldier, and member of
Jul Camp,
Therefore be it resolved: That we
deplore our brothers. loss to our Camp
and country, and Join with his wife
and family in sympathy and sorrow
over the loss they have sustained ia
his death.
Be it further resOlued: That these
resolutions be spread upon the min
utes of our Camp, and a COPY hereof

The remarkable success that has at
tended L. T. Cooper during the past
year has not been confined to any one
locality. but is so widespread that the
u man is now a well-known figure
in most of the leading cities OF the
country.
MI. Cooper believes that the stom-
ach is the foundation for most Ill
health, and claims that his prepare
ton, by regulating the stomach. is a
true specific for most diseases. The
following extract from the Tribune Of
Minneapolis gives an idea Of the sur
prising number of people who are &C
cepting Cooper's theory. The article
was one Of many that appeared during
Cooper's stay In Minneapolis, and Is as
follows:i e.
THE sale Of Cooper's preparation
is now phenomenal in this city, and
an estimate made today seems to indi.
cate beyond all doubt that 1t will equal
the large figures reported from Pitts

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasins work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys one every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when I'M
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
en- many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism govt,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, drOpsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But il you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
o. l.. Kimbrough, Main ST., Gren-
ada, Miss. says: Deans Kidney
| Pill brought me entire relief from
pain in my back which had troubled
me to greater or less extent off and
on for some time. In the morning
when l first arose, it often felt as
though my back would break. In adj
dition to this vas an annoyance
caused from a weakness of the kid
neyS. Learning Of DOan'S Kidney
Pills, 1 procured a box at Hughes
drug store and used them as directed.
Since then l nave had no trouble from
my back or kidneys and after this re-
suit, it is quite natural that 1 should
have good opinion of Doan's Kidney
Pills" For sale by all dealers. Price

To have perfect health we must
have perfect digestion, and it is very
important not to permit of any delay
the moment the stomach feels out OF
order. Take something at one that
you know will promptly and unfail-
inglv assist digestion. There is moth
ing better than kodol for dyspepsia,
Indigestion, sour stomach, belching OF
gas and nervous headache. KOdOl is
a natural digestant, and will digest
what you eat. Sold by End Glass

Why He Is Ignored.

The Grenada Sentinel in its discus
sion Of the men prominently men.
toned in connection with the recent
legislative work asks the question
why Hon. S. a. Morrison is not
mentioned among the leading legisla-
tive lights, and goes on further to
say that the correspondents Of the
daily press magnitied what the Jones',
| Smiths and Browns did but welded a
t~reacherouS pen when it came to the
Grenada man, whose services The
Sentinel properly recognizes. Well,
| it is true Morrison was one Of the
useful men to the taxpayers of our
state. AS chairman of the appropria-
tiOnS committee he was instrumental
in saving hundreds OF dollars to the
people that would have been expended
in useless luxury. md the fact that
he failed to get mention in the daily
press for his good service can easily
be summed up. In the first place we
don't suppose Mr.. Morrison hunted
up the press reporters and sought
nOtOriety in print as some do. He
perhaps went ahead and did his duty
Tor the sake OF rendering service
rather than conform to necessary re-
quirements for a tip Of breeze. In
the next place. judging from the ur-
gent position taken by the daily press
on appropriation bills all the way
through the legislative session, we
would not take it that they were
searching around for men who were
immovable and had q conscience for
regarding the interest OF the masses
who pay the freight, to cast their bo-
QuetS upon. AS an observation,
since the legislature adjourned we
have seen a good deal said in the
Jackson papers in eulogy OF certain
members, who are being termed lead
ing advocates and earnest workers for
the agricultural interests" Yet to
our individual knowledge these same
gentlemen always took their stand in
favor Of raising salaries when Such
questions were up. and voted along
with the 50 called high pressure"
side on almost every extravagant ap-
preparation. which a blind man can
see was an increase OF the burden up.
on the many for the benefit of the few
that HAPPENED to hold positions. So
it is seen that that thOS- who lone
their balance and tread the wrcny
path need to be bOlStered up before
their people, while such men as Nor
riSon who do their duty in keeping
with the best interest of the people
and the public trust do not need 81
much mention, especially from the
press that battles for the classes like
other lobbSiStS. - Calhoun County

The Plant Of Our Waste Basket.

The following was heard proceeding
from the capacious cavernOus depths
of the waste basket:
so dear! l am az full now as l can

more OF trash. And there comes an

Anonymous! is it? Well.if anybody
is simple enough, after all that has
been said, Twill strain a point and
take 1t in.
"And that? All, l see. The writer
thought that X Y. H. or I IT. or
a Reader or "A Friend was a sigma
ture. Well. it takes people some time
TO learn! And what is that? Yes,
yes, it is a postal card beginning:
That article Of yours on SO. and so is
an outrage in a religious (?) paper.
Well, it doesn't take much room; toss
it in.

of five minutes to get it open with the
aid OF IA sharp knife. and by the time
it was opened the contents would be
mutilated beyond usefulness. All
right, poke it in.
"And that? Oh, l see. Somebody

which nobody was willing TO pay a

And now here is something which

Silence is the only adequate tribute to
such colossal cheek.

A mistake was made by some one at
fhe meeting Of the board Of trustees
s0f the University this week. Those
rsfho are responsible for the board not
accepting the Burkit-ridey did the
University no good, and if they insist
zupon the same attitude DIT the next
meeting OF the board they will do the
1petatution a serious injury. The
7wdSlic ct large cares nothing about
aHaintaining the school and so far as
a1hey srs concerned, they would not
antse Q continental if the buildings
-~uofs wiped out of existence. Hence
40 ~ that the more the affairs OF the
1hool are discussed before the gener.
and the better they under.

A Temperance Story.

A temperance lecturer was once ad-
dressing a large audience on the
Evils of Intemperance," when a
rough-looking fellow got up and said.
THAT is not SO, for L have been
drinking whiskey all my life, and it
has never hurt me-"
THAT may be So" said the lectur-
er, for l knew a man nee who had
a few live fish in a small tank, and he
wanted to see what effect whiSkey
would have on them. So he fed them
On bread soaked in it, and it made
them all drunk except one. He tried
it again next day, with the same re-
suit. So he killed the fish to see if
he could find out why whiSkey did not
affect him, and found that he did not
have any brains. "--SOuthern PreSby-
