DISCUSS CATTLE TICK.
County Live Stock Association Formed
 at Huntsville.

Huntsville, December 16.-(Special.) The profits that might be made out of the cattle and stock raising bust ness in this section and the advantage of eliminating the cattle tick were pre- sented forcibly to the farmers of Mad ison county in addresses by A. H. Clark and Dr. Cooper Curtice of the bureau of animal industry, who appeared un- der the auspices of the Nashville Chat tanooga and St. Louis railway
 MT. Clark spoke of this section as be- longing naturally to the blue grass country and naturally adapted to stock raising. He said profits could be made here even in the growing of scrub cat tie and correspondingly larger profits could be made by devoting the same amount of feed and time to the growing of mules
 Dr. Curtice urged the people of this county to get behind the authorities and compel them to make the necessary appropriations to aid the government in the work of eliminating the cattle tick. With the cattle growing industry amounting to more than at preesnt pr. Cooper showed that this county is los- ing $21,0c0 annually out of the annual sales through the presence of the tick.
 A county live stock association was organized with Clarendon Davis as president and Ben P. Hunt secretary. Resolutions were adopted asking the county commissioners to put the tick law in practical effect and make the necessary appropriations to aid the government in the work.

Making Merry
At Mealtime, Means Good Appetite, Good Digestion, Good Cheer, Good Heart and Stuart's
 Dyspepsia Tablets.

Do You Use Them7 If Not, Why7
 DYSPEPSIA is the skeleton at the feast; the deaths head at the festive board. It turns cheer into cheerlessness. gaity into gloom and festivity into farce. It is the ghost in the home, haunting every room and hitting at every fireplace. mak- ing otherwise merry people shudder and fear. If there Is one disease more than another that should be promptly attacked and worsted, it is DYSPEPSIA It Is the very genius of unhappiness, unrest and i'll nature. In time 1t will turn the best man almost into demond of temper and make a good woman something to be dreaded and avoided.
 It is estimated that half of ones trou- bles in this world comes of a stomach gone wrong-of Dyspepsia, in short. Foods taken into the stomach and not properly cared for; converted into substances that the system has no use for and hasn't any notion what to do with. It is irritated and vexed, pained and annoyed, and in a little while this state of things becomes general and directly there is ''somethinx bad to pay.' The whole system Is in a state of rebellion and yearns to do ssme- thing rash and disagreeable and fine case of Dyspepsia is established and opens up for business.
 If you were bitten by a mad dog, you would not lose day in going to a cure; do you know you should be just as prompt with Dyspepsia? Rabies is quick death dyspepsia is a slow one; this is about all the difference. There is cure for rabies and so there Is for Dyspepsia and one cure was about as difficult to discover as the other. Pasteur found ous one and the F. A. STUART COMPAN the other, and 1t is no longer a secret, as it Is made public in the wonderful Tablet. which so many are using and praising today. One writer says of 1t:
 "Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are little storehouses of digestion which mix with the stomach juices, digest food retingls the mucous membrane and it's nerve cen ters, give to the blood a great wealth of digestive fluids, promote digestion and stays by the stomach until all its duties are complete"
 Some cures are worse than the disease: they demand This, That and the Other and the patient despairs at the require ments; but not so with the Stuart Dys- pepsia Tablet. they are easy and pleasant to take and no nausea or i'll feeling fol- lows There is none of this getting all- over-the- e-mouth' like liquid and making the remedy dread. Another writer says:
 'It matters not what the condition of the stomach, Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets only improve the juices and bring quiet to the whole digestive canal, of which the stomach is the center.''
 Forty thousand physicians use these tablets in their practice and every drug gist sells them. Price, 5oc. Send us your name and address and we will send you trial package by mall free. Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, 15o Stuart Bldg, Mar shall, Mich.

Gone of It's B.. S::-la-
ments."

In the death of Col. James I.
Bacon, IF Edgefeld, which occur
red yesterday afternoon at his home,
the press of South Carolina has lost
one of it's brightest ornaments and
the State a citizen of sterling worth
and high thought, while many
hearts will be sore at the passing of
a friend and delightful companion.
Col. Bacon was one of the most
charming men of his day in South
Carolina, original in thought, quaint
in comment, enlivening and en-
tightening upon nearly every sub
ject of intetest. He was, moreover,
a man of substantial and sound
principle, unshakable in his adher-
ence to the right, unmoved by
popular clamor and straight and
even in his course of serious things.
He will be missed in many circles,
but more especially in the circle of
makers, where he was
for so many years a philosopher
and a guide.-Charleston. Post.
