Col James Taylor is busily engaged
In the preparation of the biography of
his brother, the late Senator Robert
Love Taylor. He is being assisted by
by his brothers, A. A. Taylor, of Mill
gan, and Hu Taylor, of Fort Worth,
Texas. That this work when COM
pleted will be literary gem is as
sured. The well known mastery of
English literary style by the late SEN
ator Taylor and A. A, Taylor is but a
characteristic of the accomplishments
of the elder brother and also of the
younger, James and HUI. The story of
the. life of the late senator will be
eagerly sought after by admirers ev-
erywhere, and it is certain that the
highest expectation will be gratifed
by its publication.

PrOlOnging Life.

While no way has yet been found to make
life perpetual, it is a fact that life can be
prolonged. Many people die before their
time because the organs become clogged and
can not do their work. To keep their body
open, active and free from impurities there
must be no constipation, dyspepsia, fatu-
lency, liver troubles, etc. If old or young
people suffer from these complaints they can
find ready cure with DR.. Caldwel's Syrup
Pepsin.
1t is absolutely guaranteed to do what is
claimed, and if you want to try it before
buying, send your address for free sample
