TO AILING ONE
A Little Sound Advice Will Help Many
a Sufferer in Grenada.

No should consider herself
healthy and well if the kidneys are
weak. Poisoas that pass off in the
urine when the kidneys are well are re-
tanned in the bocy when the kidneys are
d~isordered. This is the true cause of
many bearing-down pains, lameness,
~backache, etc. Uric poisoning also
causes headaches, dizzy spells, languor,
nervousness and rheumatism.
When suffering so. try Doan's Kid
ney Pills. You will get better as the
kidneys get better, and health will re-
turn when the kidneys are well. Let a
fellow-sufferer tell you about Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. A. M. Holmes, Union-st., Wi
mona, Miss, says: II used a box of
Doan's Kidney Pills about a year ago.
and the gratifying results | obtained
proved conclusively that they are a
good medicine for backache and other
difficulties caused by the kidneys. The
relief received was prompt and lasting.

HERE'S A CHANCE FOR
A LADY TO GET AN
FREE!
Is There a Lady in This Town Who
Wants an Automobile Free of Charge?

the Memphis News-Scimitar is going
to give six of them away. They are
also going to give away to ladies of
Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas
thirty-eight other splendid prizes, ag-
gregatihg a cash expenditure of over
S13, 600.
In ADDITION to the six automobiles,
there are two Pianola pianos, six up
right pianos, six diamond rings. trips
to Washington and New York, and
other prizes that appeal to the femi-
nine taste.
They are to be given away in a great
prize contest which has just been an
nounced, and which closes November
30, 1912.
A big share of these prizes is to be
awarded to residents of our state.
Any lady is eligible to compete-a all
that is necessary is to send in a name
and address to the Contest Manager
of The News-Scimitar, and all informa-
ton pertaining to the contest will be
sen at once. Anybody can make a
nomination.
The offer is one to arouse such local
pride that we are going to suggest that
our city is entitled to share in the dis
tribution Of the great prize list, and
the names of some of our prominent
young ladies' should be sent in. One of
those six automobiles would fit many a
young lady in this neighborhood. The
victories for them would be a credit to
our community. Send in some lady's
name and let's go after this.

Ready for Collections.

The tax books of Grenada county for
the year 1912 are open and ready for
the collection of taxes. Let the public
remember that there are several thous-
and dollars in warrants outstanding and
naturally the holders of these warrants
will watch for the first opportunity to
collect them; therefore, there will be
but little money in the treasury until
these warrants are paid. For this rea-
son, as well as others, the public inter-
est will be subserved by early payments
of taxes, | desire also to emphasize
the fact that the law makes all taxes
delinquent after December Is; hence if
your taxes are not paid by that time
and damages are added, you will have
no one to blame but yourself.

Livestock at State Fair.

Mississippi livestock breeders will
have to look close to their laurels this
year at the State Fair, is the opinion
of Secretary Mcdonald after sizing up
the exhibits at the Memphis fair,
whera he succeeded in securing the
cream of the Memphis show for the
state fair opening at Jackson October
2lst.
Gregory Farm, at White Hall, Ill i,
will bring the biggest attraction here
from the other states. These people
have 200 high-class Berkshire hogs, a
and a number of other breeds of stock
that have already attracted the most
critical stockmen of the country.
The itinerary of the Gregory Farm
will take them this year through prac-
tically all the Southern States, and
they will strike Jackson before going
to Shreveport for the Louisiana state
fair. Admirers of horsehesh, especial
ly, will have a fine sight to gaze upon
when the Gregory Farm P~ercherons
arrive, including the great stallion, HUI
choie, recently imported to this coun-
try.
Another new competitor will be the
Lespedeza Farm, from Hickory Valley,
Tenn. This star attraction will be a
herd of twenty-five short-horn cattle,
that have been grabbing prizes right
along in making the circuit.
at is simply now a question of room
for all these new fellows" is a state
ment of Secretary Mcdonald. But
we have invited them to Jackson and
We must take care of them; therefore,
preparations are now being made to
stretch every point in making room in
every department sufficient to properly
handle these high-class exhibits"

HUGE PLANT AT PRoUTYs DRUG
STORE MAKES RECORD
GROWTH IN SIX WEEKS

A huge sun flower eight feet in
height, is being displayed in front
Of Prouty's Union drug store. The
plant was grown in the rear Of the
drug store and was dug up yes
terday when II had just passed a
six weeks birthday The plant ex-
cited the curiosity of the vast
crowds that passed the store yes
'terday and today and was constantly
being viewed
Bob Prouty. proprietor of the drug
store. stated that but little care
had been given the flower while
it was growing and only on ocea'
sions was water supplied. The ex-
cellent growth of the flower is a
good demonstration OF the quality
OF the Tonopah soil and shows what
can be expected in the plant line i
proper attention is given.
