STOMACH MISERY
FOR over SIX YEARS

Read what Mr.. Hoffman, landlord
of the Webster Hotel writes:
Il suffered misery and intense pains
from stomach trouble for over six
years, and all doctoring that did or
medicines l used were of no avail
until about two years ago, when |
used treatment of Mona. The
first few days treatment helped me
greatly, and upon using it a while
| was made entirely free from any
stomach trouble or complaint what
ever. Since the cure by Mona
have regained my weight, l eat and
sleep well, am never nervous, and my
entire general health is much better"

Eradicate Politics.

The time has come when we want
to get closer together, and eradicate
too much politics, for if any city I'M
der the sun has suffered from partisan
politics, the city of Hattiesburg has
suffered more than any other of my
knowledge.
I have not any criticism to make
of the present administration, or of
past administration. So far as that is
concerned, conscientiously believe
they have done as we'll as could have
been done under the old form of gov
eminent; but the old form has passed
away by the vote of handsome ma.
jority of our citizens.
What has been said in this article
is from a patriotic motive, and as a
loyal citizen to the growing city of
Hattiesburg, whose success is my sue
cess, and whose failure would also be
my downfall. Under the new era
conservatism and economy and wis
dom, and above all things brotherly
love and harmony must prevail. Let

There were contain reserve &C.
counts in the manufacturing depart
ment which have hitherto been held
in allegiance to meet contingencies
which were possible to arise, but
which present conditions render i'm
probable.
These items, together with the ex-
listing surplus as shown in the pub
lished statement of the last fiscal year
and the current results of operation,
are regarded by the board as a justi-
fcation for making this recommends
ton
