There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls almost every wish in correcting
rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of the urinary
passage. Corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
through the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
immediate effect OF Swamp-ROc is
soon realized. It stands the highest be-

Monthly Honor Roll.

The 4Public High School third
monthly report of honors exhibit the
names of those students who still are
continuing in the race for education.
These studehS$ study not for daily
recitation, but for that power of intel
lect upon which future success Is
builded. They are gaining that true
education, which consists not in few
facts, speedily learned and as is speedl-
" forgotten, but rather in that ability
and dicipline of mind which does not
scorn fact, but aims primarily upon
intellectual acumen or power that
abides. The number continuing in
this honor roll grows smaller, and thus
the honor becomes greater as the goal
is neared. The great irregularity OF
attendance on the part of pupils in the
higher classes has done violence to
their standings, but we are still in
fluenced to say our kindly "Thank
you" to those parents who have ex-
pressed themselves as determined to
cooperate with US in removing all
such unnecessary obstacles to their
childrens' progress.
In this report Mrs. Carriers classes
are necessarily omitted owing to her
enforced absence from school at the
time of making reports.

NEW HOTEL.
A Model, Five-Story Structure at
Hattiesburg, Miss.

Hattiesburg, Miss, tie home OF
our former fellow townsman, A. +.
Thorn asson, was the scene OF
brilliant public entertainment on
Wednesday evening, November ~
it being an occasion of great impor-
lance to that clty-the formal open
ing of a magnificent new hotel.
Hattiesburg is rapidly growing
wealthy young city, it's chief indus
try being the manufacture OF pine
lumber, to which is added cotton
oil mills and other enterprises.
There is also another cause tor
demonstrations and rejoicing, and
that is the fact that Hattiesburg,
with it's marvellous business growth,
has been handicapped with made
ouate and inferior hotel facilities.
In a town of ten or fifteen thou
sand inhabitants there was not a
hotel equal in any respect-build-
ing. rooms or cuisine-to those
here or at Fulton and Martin.
The opening at Hattiesburg was
accompanied by a banquet and
speechmaking under the direction
of the Commercial Club, and many
prominent Mississippians we're
present as guests of the city. The
entire affair was in honor OF Capt
1T. Jones, the gentleman whose
enterprise and liberality gave that
city such a building.
Among the distinguished guests
were:
Gov. James K. Vardaman, Hon.
John Sharp Williams, Hon. John
Allen, Tupelo, Miss, Hon. r. J.
Bowers, Judge w. H. Hardy, Judge

from Governor Vardaman, Con-
gresham Eaton J. Bowers, Prof.
M. P. Todd of the South Mississlp-
pi College, P. M. Sanders, Hon.
John Sharp Williams, Ex-Congress-
man John Allen of Mississippi.
Among others responding were
Capt. ]. T. Jones, the guest of hon
or, DR.. w. w. Crawford, president
of the Commercial Club, A. F.
Thomasson, cashier of The First
National Bank. In speaking of the
addresses the Hattiesburg Progress
has this to say of Mr.. Thomasson's
address:
"Mr. f. Thomasson, cashier OF the
First National Bank, followed MI.
Williams and made an excellent ad-
dress upon his subject, Can You
Make Me a Loan" In Mr.. Thomas
sons Introductory remarks he stated
he felt a delicacy in speaking upon
such subject, because he might in
advertently say something whic h
might cause run on the bank. This
caused laughter. Mr.. Thomasson's
address was we'll received and consid-
cred one of the best of the evening"
RECEPTION COMMITTEE.
The reception committee, which
had charge of the banquet was
composed of A. f. Thomasson,
chairman; F. w. Foote, George J..
Hauenstein, W. J. Sewers, F. F.
Phillips, DIR. T. B. Wright, T. M.
Fuller, William Moffett, Jr., DR.. w.
W. Crawford. president OF the Com
mercial Club, and DR.. J. D. Donald,
Mayor.ele of the city.
In speaking of the occasion the
Progress mentions the fact that
there were assembled some $50
ladies and gentlemen, the former
beautifully gowned and as the soft
rays of light spread over the throng
and snowy white background and
potted plants the scene was bril-
liant to behold, one which will long
be remembered by those who were
so fortunate as to be present.
This gathering composed as it was
of financiers, railroad presidents and
statesmen Of national reputation will
go Uown in the history of Southern
Mississippi as one of the notable
events, marking the opening, too, of a
new epoch for Hattiesburg, the CAPT.
tai city of the Piney Woods.
THE HOTEL.
The Hotel Hatiesburg, the opening
of which was so auspiciously celebrat-
ed last night, is supposed to be one OF
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1909-12-17

the most complete institutions of It's
kind in the South. Erected at cost
of 100000, it has taken eighteen
months for the building. 1t is five
stories in height, contains $50 guest
chambers, is of pressed brick with
stone facings, and is noticeable as
well for the solidity of it's mechanical
construction as for the ornateness
with which it has been decorated.
The main entrance and the adjacent
Hobbies, ordinaries and corridors are
done in light marble. The dining
room and the public rooms for the
women are done in polished hard
woods. Over the Hobbies are galleries
crowded with palms. The hotel is
equipped with its own power plant,
which furnishes light, heat, power
and artesian water supply. The pow
er house is separate from the main
building. A part of the lower floor is
fitted up for use as a passenger station
for the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad,
and in all it's appointments this sta
ton is not excelled by any similar
building in the country.

In Memoriam.

Lines written i'll memory of Little Margaret
Flora Agnew, died April s. 1906,
Xmas is near-the earth and the skies seem glad
The air is laden with stories sweet,
The south wind tells of other joys
That are springing to life meath the azure sky;
The sun has smiled on the icy stream
And sent it hurrying along the way.
And wonderful treasures of Fragrant Life
Come out with the Light of each opening day.
But a1as My flower that loved and watched
Till it grew to be such treasure to me,
Is dead from the touch of some spelling hand.
Nothing can bring back its bloom to me.
had thought of the pleasure this dear one would
be
While the winter winds were high,
And rest in the sunshine of her love
AS the sun of my life crept down the sky.
But it fell untouched by slow decay,
It's sweet strength crushed in a single hour
While its beautiful face was fair to see
And its life seemed full of unmeasured power.
And who trained and loved its growth
Stand here in the storm that my heart must brave
And see nothing above but black black sky.
And nothing below but one precious grave.
".
Oh my darling Maggie. they but talk in Wan
OF hopes that may rise from your tear-stained
grave,
of fairer life in an endless spring
I only remember my darling is dead,
can but look up to Fathers face
And read in its frownings. blessing hid.
All. no. can blessing ever be given again
Like that lost one under the coffin lid.
V.
May God make me patient, teach me the way to
walk
With weary feet towards the gathering night
With this strange dumb grief, like shadowy
cloud,
Shutting away all of earth's sweet light.
would ask no better blessing than this,
of the Father who pities our anguish deep,
Than to go hand in hand to that hallowed spot,
Sit down by her side and forget to weep.

USEFUL HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Apples are particularly wholesome
for equity" people and those with
a sluggish liver.
People with poor digestion should
drink no water with meals, but
take a glassful half an hour before,
and drink plentifully an hour or SO
after each meal.
Never waken child suddenly,
and never carry a:baby immediate
ly into glazing light when he
wakes up; the sudden impression
of light is very bad for the eyes.
Those who require a tonic can
not do letter than keep orange
skins and dry them. Pour boiling
water over them and drink a wine
glassful Of the cold infusion two or
three times day. The white in
terror part of the skin should not
be used.
Nervous children should never be
scolded unless it is absolutely neces-
sary, and should never under any
circumstances be ridiculed. Such
treatment is only likely to make
them more nervous. and in these
days such a tendency should be
specially guarded against.
Hot milk, heated to as high a
temperature as it can be drunk, is
a most refreshing stimulant in
cases of cold or over fatigue. Its
action is very quick and grateful

beneficial and lasting than that Of
