STREET PAVING RESUMED

Mr. Peacher has again begun the
work of paving Bouie street.
On account of a slight spell of sick
ness he was compelled to stop worl
for day or two, but is now at work
and says that he will rush to compile
ton the work he has undertaken.
The recent rains have been of some
oenefit to him from the fact that
they have softened the ground and
thereby making it great deal easier
FOR him to make the sug-grade as
it ought to be.
When the work on Bouie street will
have been completed and tha on River
avenue the city will be in a better
position it is hoped to complete the
paving of these two streets.

SICK TWO YEARS
 AFTER THE GRIP
Tonic Treatment IS Necessary After the Acute Stage of the Disease IS Past Before inc Health Can Be Fully
 Restored.

A.single attack of the grip may mean lifetime of misery ifproper precautions are not taken to restore the blood and drive out the lingering poisons that cause the so called "after-effects" of the disease.
 The danger from the grip is seldom over when the characteristic symptoms, the fever, the catarrh, the headache and the depression of spirits pass away. The grip leaves behind it weakened vital powers, thin blood, impaired digestion and oyer-sensitive neryes--a condition that makes the system an easy prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism, ner. yous prostration, and even consumption. Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of strengthening the blood and nerves during convalescence.
 Mrs. W. H. Parker, of No. 06 West Union street, Newark, N. T., tells of her cure by this treatment, as follows:
 q was sick for two years following sn attack of the grip and could get little relief from the doctors treatment. I had bad cough for over year and everyone thought I was going into con. sumption. I was extremely nervous and had trembling spells which affected me so that I couldn't sit still. During this year had to lie down most of the time.
 My heart palpitated and my head ached frequently. Host a great deal in weight, had no ambition and was not able to do much work. l had no appe. tite at all and my stomach was weak.
 q was led to try Dr. Williams Pink | Pills by reading of a cure of g case simi. lar to mine and felt some benefit in a short time. 'The trembling spells left mo and I picked up right along until I was cured"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills have also cured such blood diseases as an@mia, after.effects of the grip and levers. Owing to the intimate relation between the blood and nerves, the pills have been found invaluable in such ner- vous diseases as dizziness, nervous de. bility, neuralgia and St. Vitus' dance.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re- ceipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. '.

New Disease Discovered.

State Treasurer George r. Edwards,
Jr., returned Monday from Attala coun-
ty, where he made a weekend visit to
relatives and friends at his former home
near McCool. Mr.. Edwards commented
on a disease that is nov prevailing in
that neighborhood that is battling the
medical men and causing considerable I'M
e~asiness to the laity as well, having
claimed one or two victims, while the
other cases being watched are consid-
cred critical. 1t is a sickness that in its
characteristics and symptoms resembles
tropical d~ysentery more than any other
disease with which the doctors are ia
miliar, the persons afflicted lying inert
and simply wasting away, without fever,
but with temperature about 2 or B de-
grees below the normal, and pulse beats
from so to 60, also considerably less
than normal.

During the month of August he will

bright side of every situation, whether
secular or religious, and, according to
his survey of the field, there seems to
be good in everything. He has held and
organized more conventions so far dur.

Wellesley Oak 500 Years Old.

A wide-spreading oak which experts
have declared must have been grow,
ing at the time of the discovery OF
America by Columbus, is a landmark
on the estate of the late Arthur Hun.
newell in Wellesley, Mass.
The magnificent tree measures 26
feet in circumference at the base. It
is a noticeable landmark on account
OF its unusual size. 1t in~tersects the
fence which separates the fertile fields
of the Hunnewell estate from the
highway, and thus arrests the atten-
ton of the passer-by.
The late MI. Hunnewell took great
pride in the ancient tree. It has with.
stood the ravages of pests for a great
many years and is apparently in CON
dition to live for a great many more
decades. The late Mr.. Hunnewell
once had the tree examined by an
expert from the Smithsonian institute,
who declared that it was between 400
and 500 years old.
Eliot, the apostle to the Indians, fire..
quently passed the towering oak while
going to and from South Natick, where.
he preached to the Indians, the tree
being beside what vas the old trail.

Cider Made Deacon Drunk.

An echo of one of the famous cases
that was decided by the state supreme
court last term, the R. c.. Berry case,
from Simpson county, has just been
heard, and the state revenue agents Of
fee, as an accompaniment, has turned
in something over $1,000, which was due
as privilege license and fines, in conse-
quence of the violation of the prohibi-
ton statutes. Berry was convicted on
the evidence of a we'll known and re-
spected citizen of the town of Shivers,
who undertook to ascertain by personal
and physical test whether the special
brew of cider" handled by him was in.
toxicating if drunk to excess.
The test was successful, insofar as the
States case was mainly on the strength
Of his evidence that the supreme court
affrms the lower court and upheld the
revenue agent.
The revenue agent has completed his
part of the transaction by collecting and
paying over in three equal parts the
amount in settlement of the case, to the
State, the county and the municipality.

Mississippi for Education.

~
Two of the foremost gladiators in the
ranks of those who are working heart
and soul from week to week, month to
month and year to year, in the interest
of educational advancement in the State
of Mississippi, were at their desks in the
capitol building Monday, after little
journeys to different parts of the State
in the interest of their campaign. These
were State Superintendent j. N. Pow
ers and Commissioner of Agriculture II.
E.. Blakeslee, the former having been on
the rounds for some ten days, travelling
by railroad and dirt road, and skipping
across counties in order to meet appoint
ments, while Commissioner Blakeslee
was touring and speaking on diversified
ton in the lower part of the State.
Both these officials report a real and
they are carrying to the people in behalf
of self-improvement and practical ad-
vancement through the medium of edu-
cation of the mind to think out the prob

educational and agricultural advance

ton to the subject of agricultural high
schools, and are spending more time in
those counties that show an interest in
this work, but have not taken the prac-
teal steps necessary in order to get into
line.
