BRONCHITIS SUFFERER
Takes Druggists Advice With
Splendid Result.

If anyone should know the worth
of medicine, it is the retail druggist
who sells it over his counter every
day in the week, and is in position
to know what remedy gives the best
satisfaction.
Mrs. Frank H. Uline, of West Sand
Lake, N. Y, says: For number Of
years / was great sufferer from
bronchitis. Last July had an attack
which was more severe than any, and
my friends thought could not recover
from it. Then was advised by my
druggist to try Vinol, which did,
with wonderful results. My cough
has left me; l have gained in weight
and appetite, and 1 am as strong as
ever l was. l advise all who have
bronchitis, chronic coughs, or who are
run down to try Vinol."
1t is the combined action Of the
medicinal curative elements of the
Gods liver, without the greasy oil,
aided by the blood-making and
strengthening properties of tonic
iron that makes Vinol so efficient
Remember, We guarantee Vinol
to do just what we say we
pay back your money IL it does not.

FROM MIR. r. l. CHILDs.
Pleads for Revival of Home Religion
and Family Affairs.

anu EdmlIy AltdFS.
The character of our homes deter
mines the character and destiny of
nation.
Admitting the above statement to
be true it then, to my mind, becomes
great question. What is the char
acter of our modern home life? Does
it come up to the standard set by
Christ?
Let me quote few facts and may
be they will help you when you read
this to come to a safe and sane an
swer to the above question.
There are in round numbers about
100000 young men in the United
States, and out of this number about
2,250,000 attend no church at all;
100000 are non-church members,
only $50, 900 are active church work.
ers. Why, then, are there so few
who are active church workers? |
think | can easily give you COM
nonsense answer to this question.
1t is this:
In our church home-life we have
about 100000 christian homes in
the United States, allowing a christ
ian population of 100000 and one
family to every five of population.
If we average one family altar for
every 8 christian homes we have on
ly 100000 homes with affairs and g.
100000 without. Now, according to
the estimate of the authority above
quoted, there go out of these 4,000,-
900 christian homes yearly IT'S, 200
young men 81 years of age, and $780,
600 of these go from altarless christ
ian homes. What can you expect of
young men going from such homes
as these? They leave home untrain-
ed in the virtues of religion, and in
stead of filling our churches they are
filling our jails and lock-ups.
| offer as a remedy for this re-
vival of family religion. There must
be a revival of family affairs. Our
homes must become the centers of
religious life or we will have to give
up in defeat.
Parents, let me say to you, you
must be what you would have your
children be. You know that water
rises no higher than its level, so you
need not expect your children to be
religious when you are not so your
self You boys and girls will obey
you more than your words. Yours
for a revival of home religion and
family affairs. r. |. CHILDS.

THE COMMISSIONERS CONFER
Boards of Terrell, Sumter and Lee
Hold Joint Conference and Dis
cuss County Line Bridges.

CuSS County Line Br1uSeS.
An important conference between
the county commissioners of Terrell,
Lee and Sumter counties was held in
Smithville Thursday afternoon, at
which county-line bridges and other
matters of mutual interest and i'm
portance were discussed. The con-
ference was called at the suggestion
of the commissioners of Terrell.
There is only one bridge on the
Terrell-Lee line, while Terrell and
Sumter maintain jointly two large
bridges over Kinchafoonee creek
Wellborn's bridge and Halls bridge.
Both of these bridges were dam
aged considerably by the heavy rains
in the early spring, and even now
are not in the best condition.
The Sumter commissioners request
ed the Terrell county board to make
such temporary repairs as deemed
necessary, with the view of replacing
the old wooden structures with steel
bridges at some later date.
Chairman Hollingsworth, Secre-
tary Worthy and Commissioners
Thornton, Aven and Miller left for
Smithville at noon to attend the con-
ference. Commissioner Wall, the
other member of the board, was una
BILE to attend.

From May 20 to June II.
q, -oouest of the Central of Geor-

80 on additional train on this divis-
~. -, that road between Fort Gaines
W. smithville has been postponed
from May 90 to June IL.
General petition of citizens OF

I,t, line, connecting at Smith
lila in the morning with the early
,.o;n from Albany on into Macon,
md with the down train from Macon
= Tho evening, was presented to the
.,nroad commission by Messrs. Joe
Jm Hall and Warren Roberts of
,rocon attorneys for the citizens.
When the matter was brought to
..e attention of the Central officials
o,nerfntendent T. S. Noise wrote an
ovrarded and vigorous protest
AGAINST it, setting forth at length the
road,s reasons for refusing to grant
.,o contest. He estimated the
r,ontbIy cost of this additional train,
,,arated daily distance of about
116 miles, at $1,2SO.5O. Then he
states;
"Tbe gross revenues from the tick
o+ sales from Fort Gaines and from
,oirts intermediate to Smithville to
1oin+s between Smithville and Ma
ron including Macon, and between
smitbyille and Albany, including AL
bany, and vice versa, is only s207.8O
more than the cost of the proposed
extra train"
With the matter in this shape the
commission ordered a public hearing
for May 90. However, Mr.. Noise
has written that court matters hav-
ing arisen in Alabama for the same
date a postponement was desired.
Under this showing the commission
Dostponed the hearing to June II,
when the case will be thoroughly
tbreshed out. A large number of cit
liens from interested points are ex-
Dected to attend the hearing.

Marmarth. N. D.. April D.
The water in the little Missouri
river reached the highest point
yesterday in the history of the
country. The food was caused
by the effects of the Sunday chin
.ook winds on the heavy snow in
the upper Box Elder and Beaver
creek country. This enormous
amount of water from the Box
Elder creek struck here about IL
o clock Sunday night and the riv-
.er raised six feet in thirty minutes
and it was not more than half an
hour later that Beaver water
struck the river which resulted in
the river getting ground in town.
A portion of the Milwaukee
tracks next to the Beaver bridge
was washed out but no track next
to the Little Missouri river bridge
was injured in the least.
The wagon bridge over Beaver
creek was washed away but this
bridge was in bad shape from the
effects of the ice earlier in the

A score or more Of homes were

Owing to the natural fear result

left their homes between 2 and
3 o'clock Monday morning and
went to higher ground but no
sooner had the water reached its
highest point from which it began

than the people came aocking
back again to take up their usual

THE HAVOC OF THE ELE-
MENTS.

Nothing is more appalling, says
the Duluth Herald, than the oc-
currence of such disasters and suf-
fering as are reported from the
states of Nebraska. Ohio and In
diana. The news service wires
are being burdened with fearful
stories of loss of life. not to men-
ton terrible destruction of prop
erty. Homes that a few hours
before were apparently secure
have been swept away. taking
with them the savings of years.
and in many cases some or all the
members of families have been
swept to death.
In such times as these a vast
wave of sympathy goes from all
the other sections of the coun-
try to the people of the afflicted
districts. We read of such dis
asters in foreign lands and the
words move us but little. But in
these instances now being report
ed the suffering and deprivation
come nearer home, and we real
ize them with greater force and
vividness.
1t but adds to the horror of the
thing that the tragedies of the
storm are nothing that human
foresight or ingenuity can pre-
vent. Heavy rains that bring alb
normal conditions in the streams,
or high winds that over throw the
work of men that ordinarily
would stand for years. come with
little or no warning, and in the
twinkling of an eye lives are
snufed out and hundreds or even
thousands left destitute.
The most that other commun-
tiles can do is to offer financial
and othermaterialaid to the desti-
tute, and this is something which
the American people are always
ready to undertake. So in the
