CATARRH SUFFERERS
Good Thing to Know.

If you now own a Hyomei hard
rubber inhaler, The Owl Drug Store
wants you to know that they will sell
you a bottle of HYOMEI for only so
cents.
Remember this, all who suffer with
Catarrhal bottle of HYOMEI( pro-
nounce it High-o-me) is put up in
separate package ond sold for so
cents, to accommodate the vast army
of people who already own a Hyomei
inhaler.
The Owl Drug Store will sell it to
you at that price and give you the
opportunity to begin at once to rid
yourself of vile catarrh and the snuff
ting, hawking and splitting that go
with it.
Many people through years of neg
lect have let catarrh get a strong
hold upon them. Some of these peo-
pie unreasonably think that one bot
tie of HYOMEI ought to cure them.
No matter how strong your ca
tarrhal troubles, HYOMEI is guaran-
teed by The Owl Drug Store to cure
them if you give it half chance.
Just breathe it, that's all, and its
healing soothing, antiseptic proper
ties will make you feel better in a
day.
If you own an inhaler, get a so
cent bottle of HYOMEI today. II you
do not own a Hyomei inhaler, ask
for a $1.00 outfit, which includes in
haler.

In Issaquena.

Mr., Nicholas, of Issaquena, SharSey
and Yazoo, where the weevil has just
made its appearance, talked of condi-
tons saying that diversification Is
general, more grain and forage crops
are being grown, the live stock Indus
try is coming to the front, and cotton
is being grown as a side-line. Condi-
tons in the three counties are better
this year than they will be next year
DR.. Guy Hathorn, of Marion. said
that one consolation presented is that
the farmers are in better fix in that
county than they will be in 1911. The
farmers made about so per cent of the
cotton crop, but have everything nee
essary for home consumption. The
farmers who picked punctured squares
made twice as much cotton as those
who did not.
Mr.. ]. Hiram McGehee, of Franklin,
pictured rather gloomy conditions in
that county. Ordinary farmers got
only about so pounds of seed cotton
per acre. The best farmers made
about one-fourth bale per acre. He
regarded Simpkins and Moneyma-
ker as the best varieties. Advises
planting of peanuts in every other cot
ton row.,
Mr.. Armstro of Lawrence said that
work had been satisfactory in that
county, farmers had made about one
half bale per acre, county has about

At YAzGO CITY, MISS.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 31.-State Su-
perintendent of Education Powers,
Miss Susie Powell and Prof. w. H.
Smith are in Yazoo City today attend
ing the educational rally. This is one
of the largest gatherings of it's kind
for some time, and great deal of
interest has been shown in it.
The programme is a good one, in
GLIDING addresses, music, recitations
and other features. Miss Powell will
speak on school improvement work,
while Prof. Smith, who is supervisor
of rural schools, will speak on that
subject. Mr.. Powers address will
deal with educational generally. He
will touch upon the county agricul-
tural high school, which is becoming
a strong feature of the educational
system of Mississippi, and will discuss
other matters pertaining to schools
generally.
The meeting will be attended by
all the teachers in the county, as well
as many of the pupils and patrons of
the schools.

Prof. Edgar Green, OF Lincoln coun-
ty, one of the sablest men In the SER
vice, said that the farmers are de-
voting most of their energies to grow
ing Of crops other than cotton, such
as oats, corn, rice, wheat, and much
land is being devoted to pasture and
i've stock. Eleven threshing machines
have been bought in the county dur
ing the past year.
Mr.. Bridges, of Kinds, emphasized
the fact that good crops of cotton
have been grown in Kinds county,
where the farmers destroyed cotton
stalks last fall, thoroughly prepared
the soil before planting, planted Simp-
kins and Triumph seed, and gave their
cotton frequent and shallow oultiva-
ton.
Mr.. c. w. Watson, of Madison, said
that all damage to cotton is generally
charged to boil weevil, but other
causes contributed to short crop in
that county. He said hat the farm
ers in Madison are Opposed to diversi-
fly their crops, and now have more
than 100000 bushels of seed oats for
sale, grown during the past year. The
farmers of the county are going large

as best they could made from 400 to
800 pounds more per acre. Those
who disregsrded instructions produced
from nothing to $50 pounds per acre.
He believed that under average condi-
tons the farmers can grow good crops
of cotton in spite of the boil weevil.
He named Simpkins and Brandon as
the best varieties Of cotton for boil
weevil territory. He urged the farm
ers to be careful in buying seed in or
der to avoid being humbugsed By 80
called prolific varieties.

CHAPTER XIV.
PEACE.

Uncle Ulick, with the mud of the road
on his boots, and the curls still stiff in
the wig which the town barber at NAL
low had dressed for him. rubbed his
chin with his hand and owned himself
puzzled. Had his absence run into
months instead of weeks the lapse of
time had not sufficed to explain the
change which he felt, but could not
define, in his surroundings.
Certainly old Darby looked a thought
more trim, and the room a trifle better
ordered than he had left them. But the
change did not stop there-perhaps did
not begin there. Full of news of the
outer world as he was, he caught him
self pausing in mid-career to question
himself, and his eyes scanned his COM
panions' faces for the answer his mind
refused to give.
An insolent Englishman had come,
and, after running Luke Asgill through
the body. had paid the penalty-in
fight so fair that the very troopers
who had witnessed 1t could make no
complaint nor raise trouble. So much
Uncle Ulick had learned. But he had
not known Payton, and, exciting as the
episode sounded, 1t did not explain the
difference In the atmosphere of the
house. Where he had left suspicion,
and a silent table, he found smiles, and
easiness, and a cheerful sense Of well
being.
Again he looked about him. "And
where will James be?" he asked.
HE has left u.s." Flavia said, with
her eyes on Colonel Sullivan.
Its away to Galway City he u.s."
Morty O'Beirne explained with a
chuckle.
THE saints be between us and
harm!" Uncle Ulick exclaimed In as
constituent. "And why's he there?"
"The story is long" said Colonel Sui
Ivan.
But / can tell 1t in a few words"
Flavia continued with dignity. And
the sooner 1t is told the better. He has
not behaved well, Uncle Ulick, and at
his request and with-the legal own
er's consent-it's / have agreed to pay
him one-half Of the value of the prop
erty."
"The deuce you have!" Urcle Ulick
exclaimed In greater establishment.

bling his huge thigh with his hand, he
looked from one to another. by the
powers! II I may take the liberty of
saying so. young lady, you've done a
vast deal in a very little time-faith in

''It was done at his request" Flavia
answered, gravely.

thigh and to stare. These things are
very surprising. And they're telling

But her heart was 10 so easily de-
ceived as her ear. There Is something
under our words" she said. What Is
it?"
II am not going to fight" he replied
gravely, but to punish. There Is a

bered in what circumstances those
words had been used. He has the

Yelling. Flavia--but. as she tried to
speak, Payton's shadow came into
sight at III gates and went
slowly by. and she clapped her hand to
her mouth that she might not scream.
Colonel Sullivan saw the action, un-
derstood, and touched her softly on
the shoulder. Pray" he said. pray"
For you!" she cried in a voice that,
to those who had ears, betrayed her
heart. "Ah. l will pray"

now. Fol me when / return"
She dropped on her knees before a
chair. and s~huddering, hid her face in
her hands. And almost at once she
knew that they were gone. and that
she was alone in the room.
Then. whether she prayed most or
listened most, or the very intensity Of
her listening was itself prayer she
never knew; but only that in the agony
of her suspense she raised her head
from the chair to near IL there was

noon life dashed her with q dreadful
irony. The low whirr of a spinning
wheel, a girls distant chatter, the cluck
or a hen In the court yard, the salts
fled grount of a rowing pig, all bore
home to her the bitter message that,
whatever happened, and though night
fall found her lonely in a ~dishonored
home, life would proceed as usual, the
mel and the women about her woul
eat and drink and the smallest things
would stand where they stood now.
What was that? Only the fall Of a.

come? Would she never know? That
surely was something. They were re-
turning. In a she would know.

stony eye at the door. But when she
had listened long-it was nothing.
Nothing! And then-ah, hat surely

pressed her hands to her breast.
She might have known already, for
