she was always cheerful and looked

but delayed too long. j Her remains
were shipped to Cherryvale. Kansas
to her parents for burial.
She died in land ,afar from home
Yet fell among her friends
And did not need or want for aught

Yet little did they realize
Haw ne had suffered long,
But with her great affliction
We knew that We were wrong.
And thus she labored on and on
And never seemed to tire
Until the Father said to her
1t is enough, come up higher.
And thus her labors ended
Her work on earth is done
And in the land CT Glory
A new life has begun.
It's hard we know to SEQ her go
Her face we cannot see
There is no one to take her place
There was only one Marie.
But we know her trials are ended
And she has gone to rest
Then let US say. Thy win be done

Famous Panorama of iLittitas valley
TO BE Exhibited at Kansas City
Land Show.

The splendid panorama of the Kit
titas valley, which was considered to
be the finest Of the many ingenious
exhibits at the New York land show
in Madison Square Garden last fall,
is going to be reproduced at the
Kansas City Land Show. The Mil
Waukee railroad people have taken
500 feet of space in Convention Hall,
Kansas City in which to set up this
exhibit. Several baggage cars have
been required to transport the seen
cry and effects from Chicago.
The large number of people at
tending the land show, from Febru-
airy 26 to March 8, will have an OPP
portunity to see the Valley of Con-
tent in miniature, with its physical
beauties artistically presented; with
tiny trees in bloom and in fruit; with
little trains on little tracks winding
through the valley; with automobiles
carrying their farmer owners over
level roads; with fences, bitches, hay
fields and growing crops. The Kansas
City Land Show will be held in the
center of a region from which many
recruits are being drawn for the set

AS WE SEE AND FEEL

Day by day the presidential stu
alton grows more interesting to the
observing man and woman of passing
events. TO some it was evident
some months ago and even weeks
ago that Theodore Roosevelt was alb
solutely sure of being the next can
didate for president on the repub-
lican ticket Others just as pro-
fOundly believed that La Toilette
would capture the nomination. Both
Roosevelt and La Toilette are eX-
tremists, radical and visionary.
Neither are in accord with the mass
es, or majority of the party only
with the insurgent faction, which to-
day does not by any means control
the party-the tail cannot wag the
dog under any circumstances. We
predict and have all along said that
Mr.. Taft would be nominated; he is
Justly entitled to a denomination; he
has made good to the big interests of
the country; did just what was eX-
pected OF him in way, devoid of any
discreetness and little or no tact. He
is blunt, no politician and a failure
in office; big of heart and vulnerable
at every turn. And he will be NOM
mated, at least it looks that way to
us, and as sure as he is nominated,
he will be defeated. The insurgen.
cement. while it cannot control the
party, can control the election, and
it will do SO. l. it was possible to
Nominate Roosevelt, but it will not
be so, he too would be defeated fer
the same rot son thai the tail can
not wag the dog, AMI every stand
patl"t in ill., Lountr%, and til" stand
patters are in the majority, will
vote against him, or refuse to vote
at all, hence as we see the light to-
day and have so seen it for months
past, the republican party in the ma
ton is doomed to defeat-1911 is a
democratic year in spite of all that

party Gov. Woodrow Wilson seems

FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST

To the head of every family the
health Of its different members is
most important, and the value Of an
agreeable laxative that is certain in
its effect is appreciated. One of the
most popular remedies In the family
medicine chest is a combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
is known to druggists and physicians
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
preparation is mild and gentle in its
action on the bowels, yet positive in
its effect. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at
night means relief next morning,
while its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles Of stomach,
liver and bowels SO that these organs
are able in a short time to again per-
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and $1.00
bottles. If you have never tried this
simple, inexpensive. yet effective
remedy, write to DR.. W. B. Caldwell.
POI Washington St., Monticello, ILL.,.
and ask for a sample bottle. DR.. Cald-
we'll will be glad to send it without
any expense to you whatever.

SAYS COLD KILLED WEEvIS
Dk. HUNTER TELLS OF EFFECTS OF
FREEZE ON PEST.
Does Not Give the Assurance That There
Will Be No weevils in Delta
During Year.

Jackson.--Dr W. D. Hunter, chief en-
tomologist of the United States depart.
ment OF agriculture, bureau of plant in.
dustry, is strong in the conviction that
the recently extreme cold weather has
killed millions of boil weevils in Mis-
sissippi.
Dr.. Hunter does not hold out the hope.
however, that the destruction of weevils
a been so widespread that it will JUS.
tify farmers in planting their usual acre
age, or that there will not be an infesta-
ton by this pest in any section of the
state during the coming crop year.
Recently Mr.. R. T. Spann, a promi.
nent planter of the delta, addressed a
letter to DR.. Hunter asking for his
opinion as to what extent the weevils
have been destroyed by the unusually
severe winter. DR.. Hunter has replied
as follows:
Recent cold weather in the D
Mississippi delta has undoubtedly de-
stroyed many, if not all, of the weevils
which flew into previously infested ter
ritory during last fall. A temperature
OF twelve degrees above zero is gener.
ally destructive to the weevils, but much
depends upon the amount of protection
they may be under. With the very low
temperature recently experienced, it is
hardly probable that any insects have
survived north of Greenville, Miss. I'm.
doubleday you understand that there
will be invasions of the delta, begin
ming in August OF the present year, and
the weevil will regain the territory which
has been lost"
1t is APPARENT, therefore, that, even il
practically all Of the weevils have been
killed in that section of the state north
of ~Greenville, it will afford very little
consolation to the planters since there
is certain to be a fresh invasion of the
pest from territory where the tempera-
ture was not so low as in the northern
counties.

ALL COUNTIES TO PARTICIPATE.
Law Providing Premiums for Each Of
Seventy.fve Counties.

Jackson.-All is joy among the Off
Gals and friends of the State Fair AS
ISOLATION. A bill was passed in the SEN
ate that will do more toward the pro-
motion and improvement of the associa-
ton than has been done in any n
year in its history.
It provides thae each of the seventy
nine counties shall receive a premium
of one hundred dollars from the state
for the best exhibit at the fair. This
does not pit one county against the
other, but allows an equal premium to
all. 1t means that seventy-nine coun-
ties will be represented at the fair next
fall instead of a few counties as here
tofore. Some of them may not nave the
very largest kind of exhibit the first
year, but they will have something, and
for that something, each of them will be
awarded one hundred dollars.

THROWS WOMAN INTO WELL.
Citizens Near Starkville Wreak Terrible
VENGEANCE.

,Starkville.-Mann Hamilton, a negro,
positively identified by Mrs. John Bells
as the black who attacked her, beating
her over the head with a pair of tongs
and then throwing her into a we'll waist
deep in water, was lynched by a mob
of citizens in the neighborhood eight
miles north of Starkville.
When Mrs. Bells little son returned
from school he could not find his mother
and began calling for her and finally To-
Gated her in a well near the house. Upon
uncovering and looking in the well he
saw his mother and gave the alarm.
The water was about waist deep and
Mrs. Bells kept from drowning by brac-
ing herself against the walls of the
we'll.
She makes the plain statement that
a negro named Mann Hamilton came to
her door about 3 o'clock and called her,
and she went to the door and he told
her he had a note from a neighbor.
When she reached for it he grabbed her
and pushed and dragged her through
the kitchen, and as she was fighting des-
perately, he beat her with the tongs over
the face and head until she wa. insen-
sible. Doubtless thinking he had killed
her, he threw her in the we'll.
From the blood on the floor and the
general arrangement of the kitchen fur
niture, it is evident that Mrs. Bell made
a hard fight.
