A PUBLIC Benefit
AbbeviIIe People Greatly Interested in
the Generous Offer Of the c. A. Mil
ford & Co,

The people have already demonstrated
that they would rather trust a man who is
naturally honest than n who is honest
only because he had to be.
The c.. A. Milford d Co. have a firmly es-
tablished reputation for square dealing
and sterling honesty. When they told the
people that Rexall Remediesare the purest
and most dependable medicines that it Is
possible for modern science to produce,
and that they would tell the public what
each one of these 800 OF more remedies
contained, and that they sold ReXall Rem
edies on their personal guarantee that
they would give entire satisfaction or they
would not cost the user a single cent, they
were believed.
Ever since this announcement the c. A.
Milford Il Co. store has been largely pat
roniZed by people buying ReXall Remedies,
all of which proves that this store has the
confidence OF the people and that honesty
is the best policy.
There is no ''cure-alr' among the ReXall
Remedies. There are different and sepa-
rate medicines, each one devised for a GER
tain human ailment OF q class Of ailments
closely allied. For instance Rexall Dys
pepsia Tablets are recommended for the
positive relief Of stomach irritation, indi-
gestion, flatulency and dyspepsia. They
are rich in Observation-Disclosures, Pepsin and
Carminatives. They are prepared by spe-
cial processes which perfect and enhance
the great remedial value of these we'll
known medicinal agents. This remedy
sells for 25. cents, so cents, and S1.0o per
package. Every one suffering from stom-
ach disorder should try Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets, inasmuch as they cost nothing II
they do not satisfy.
Remember, the C. A. Milford d Co. store
is the only store in Abbeville where these
remedies may be obtained, and every one
in need of medicine is urged to investigate
and take advantage Of the frank and gen.
erous manner in which they are sold.

Foot Ball.

It Is reported that, because Of the death
of Eugene A, Byrne, of Buffalo, n. Y. no
more foot ball will be played by the West
Point eleven this year. This statement
was made by Col. Hugh L. Scott, superin-
tendent Of the United States Military
Academy, after a consultation with the
athletic authorities OF the Academy on the
death Of young Byrne, who died as a result
OF injuries sustained in O game with
Harvard.
We are all still barbarious, we like to
see a dog fight, we are not energy to seeing
men punch o..e another, and as Dr. John
Brown tells US, any intense enegyin action
is most interesting TO the average man,
hence, a foot ball game, where every
Ierve and muscle Of the players is tense
with excitement and energy is a popular
sport. 1t is doubtful whether we will ever
be civilized out Of this tendency, this in
terest is semi barbarous things.
We all like it, we can't help it and there
Is no reason to be ashamed Of it.
Something aught to be done, however,
to lessen the fatalities in this innocent
foot BALI game. Some regulations could
be made by which the danger would be
reduced to q minimum and yet the spirit
Of the sport kept intact.
As for the harm that foot ball has done
we know little, but we are ready to ven-
ture the assertion that the game has done
good by building up weak constitu-
tons, changing lank and fabby boys into
muscular men; in teaching boys how to
strive for a goal, or take defeat, than all
the evil brought about through the instru-
mentality Of the game.
Keep foot ball but purge it Of its dan
gerous features.
The most uncanny, unbelievable thing
about college foot ball is the deliberate
aim Of one side to cripple some player on
the other side. To do this they resort to
unfair means. Here lies the harm in foot
ball II there be. any harm in it.
Many small colleges are pr~edisposed to
shut out the game, uud, should the Uni
versities lead the way, foot ball would
soon be q relic of the past.

GOOD FOR ROOM DECORATION
Coarse Wesves of Homespun Linen
Can Be Employed Most
Effectively.

This is most excellent time of the
year to invest in dress linen for deco
rative purposes.
Some of the coarser weaves of
homespun linen make most effective
room decorations if chosen in colors
suitable for household purposes.
Plain linen, for hangings, cushions,
coach and tablecovers, often proves
the saving note in room otherwise
too ornate. For instance, If you are
burdened With an excess of design in
carpet and wallpaper, relief may be
found In the plainest of hangings
Women with artistic souls have re-
sorted to the dyeing of unbleached
muslin for this same purpose.
Racquet cloth, although too stiff
while 1t is new, offers an attractiveIy
plain surface, but the open weave of
coarse linen is even better. Its colors,
too, are softer, and there are more
half-tones, suitable for decorative pur-
poses in linen

Cyclone DIDN'T
HIT HA71|ESBURG
Although the Appearance of the Old
Depot and Express Office Would
Indicate Such.

Several strangers who have been
in the city during the past few weeks
have been heard to inquire if Hat
tiesburg had been visited by a cyclone
renecently, and every instanie it was
learned that the query was provoked
by the dilapidated rendition and on
slightly appearance of the old North
eastern depot and Southern Express
sompany's old office.
Shortly after the old buildings were
abandoned, for some reasons which
have not been clear to anybody, the
roof was torn off the old express Of
flee, the walls partially torn away,
and the debris has since been al
lowed to remain on the ground, pre-
senting most ragged and unsightly
appearance, while the old depot is
left open and is doubtless haunt for
providers and splendid place to com
NIT nuisances of all kinds.

FIRST CLASS
Music STORE
New Institution Which Has Just
Opened Up in the fairfield Build
ing is Modern Institution.

A new concern which has just
opened it's doors in Hattiesburg, and
which promises in the near future to
become one of the most important
and attractive institutions of the city
is that Of the Hall Music Store,
which is domiciled in the fairfield
Building, on West Pine street.
This store fills long felt want in
Hattiesburg, and will doubtless receive
the patronage which a first-class,
thoroughly modern institution of this
kind deserves at the hands of the
people of this city. 1t is the inten-
ton of the Messrs. Hall, the proprie-
tors, to carry in stock at all times a
full and complete line of musical
merchandise of all kinds, including
pianos, organs, violins, guitars, mando-
Inns, banjos, accordeons, harmonious
and autoharps, from the cheapest
that's good to the finest the manu-
facturers can produce.
They will also carry in stock a
splendid assortment of strings for all
instruments, photograph records,
piano scarfs and the latest vocal and
instrumental sheet music. In fact, the
store is equipped with anything and
everything usually found in a first
class music store, and it will now be
no longer necessary for people of this
city to go out of town in order to sup
ply their wants in the musical mer-
chandise line.
Any instrument in the house may
be bought for cash or on the easy pay
ment plan, and the Hall Music Store
is in position to compete with the
large cities for business in their
line.
