Newly Equipped Ginnery.

The Beaver Dam Ginnery has in
stalled five of the newest and most
modern gins and has thoroughly
overhauled five that have been in
use, making the ginnery one of the
most up-to-date plants of the kind
in this section. Mr.. B. F. thinner
man, who has proven himself to be
a very capable manager of the
Beaver Dam property, says his gin
merry can now turn out 1875 bales
day, and that if the present plant
proves to be inadequate he will i'm
mediately install other gins so his
patrons will not lose time waiting
for their cotton. He has planned to
avoid the congestion of wagons and
long waiting for their turn to gin
that has previously existed.

Attacks Like Tigers.

In fighting to keep the blood
pure the white corpuscles attack
disease germs like tigers. But often
germs multiply so fast the little
fighters are overcome. Then see
pimples, boils, eczema, salt rheum
and sores multiply and strength and
appetite fail. This condition de-
mands Electric Bitters to regulate
stomach, liver and kidneys and to
expel poisons from the blood. They
are the best blood purifier, writes

Why The Spider Was There.

When Mark Twain in his early
days, was editor of Missouri
paper, a superstitous subscriber
wrote him saying that he had found
a spider in his paper, and asking
him whether it was sign of good
or bad luck. The humorist wrote
him this answer and printed it:
"Old Subscriber: Finding spi-
der in your paper was neither good
or bad luck for you. The spider
was merely looking over our paper
to see which merchant is advertis-
ing, so that he can 60 to that store,
spin a web across the door and lead
a life of undisturbed peace ever

The Indian girl is given to him as his wife and later she discovers he has forssken her and returned to his white wife and child. The squaw follows him and is about to kill him when the sight of the happy family turns her mind and she wanders out into the dark ness. falling ovsf the high cliff to her death.
