WHY NOT GET
A GUARANTEE !?
Every Article OF Merit that is Sold These
Days is Guaranteed No Guarantee
Often Means Poor Quality

There is very little excuse for any
person to claim that he has been
'stung' on purchase. Fifty years
ago The buyer had to look out, but
today it is unusual to find merchant
who will not return the money for an
article that has proved unsatisfactory.
An excellent example of this kind
of fair dealing is shown by the clean
cut guarantee that B. L. Browder
gives on Dodson's Liver Tone.
He tells us that any person who
pays SOC for a bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone and does not find it gen.
tie and most pleasant liver tonic,
harmless, but sure reliever of con-
stipation and a perfect substitute for
calomel can get his money back just
as quick as they can get it out of the
money drawer.
Dodson's Liver Tone has practical
ly taken the place of calomel. 1t is
absolutely harmless, sure in its action
and causes no restriction of habit Oh
diet. No wonder the drug people
are glad to guarantee it, while Other
remedies that initiate the claims Of
Dodson's Liver Tone are not guaran
teed at all. ad,

New Post Mistress

Mrs. Mamie Erwin Perkins was
nominated for the Selmer postoffice
by the President. The news was
gladly received by the citizens gener-
ally.
While there were seven applicants,
it was generally believed that the
forces behind Mrs. Perkins would put
her in the front with Sims and the
other officials. A large petition was
sent the two senators. approving the
appointment and asking her speedy
confirmation.
The patrons of the office have been
so well served by U. S. Alexander and
his assistants, that they were 10th to
push or desire change, but of course

County Farmers Institute

Quite a respectable number of
practical farmers from different sec.
tions Of the county met Saturday pur-
suant to call made for the meeting.

the meeting to order and stated the
first business would be to elect pres

Purviance was reelected secretary.
MIR. Thrasher gave an outline of
what he thought the Institute should
do. He gave his experience on grow
ing alfalfa, and general farm crops,
and stated that he had learned more
about farming in the past five years
than during his entire life before.
R. 7. DeBerry, Commissioner Of
Agriculture for West Tennessee, was
present and delivered a practical ad-
dress on the best paying crops in
Tennessee. He showed from the off,
cial census that corn, cotton and hay
were the three leading crops, and
that Of the three hay was the most
profitable and corn the least. He
did not advise raising hay and not
corn but rather to produce more corn
per acre, by proper cultivation and
rotation. Fifteen bushels being the
average crop in the state could be
doubled by proper work and fertiliza.

]. W. Purviance next made short
speech emphasizing the Importance Of

the salvation of the lands of the
county. The present prices of cattle

The discussion of the $1,000,-
600 gift of Carnegie to Wander

ment is getting slightly torrid.
The bishops of the church think
they can see something in the
conditions of the gift which gives
the management of that branch
of the college to someone besides
the board of bishops, while Kirk

and skins Bishop Hoss for oppos-

FOR H. S. TEAM
CRACK END RE-ENTERS SCHOOL
AND FOOTBALL TEAM Is
OVERLOOKED TO-DAY.

There was joy in the high school
yesterday when the familiar face OF
Jack Mcdonald was seen among the
students, for, be it known, Jack is one
of the fastest ends that ever wore the
moleskins for the p. H. s. and he
has been sadly missed from the team
this year He was graduated last
wear but has re- e-entered school to take
postgraduate work. He will turn out
for gridiron work Immediately.
With the return of Mcdonald Coach

prospects for a winning team. A num-
Der of the new men are showing up
strong and are making the regulars
work for their places. One unfortu-
nate circumstance is the loss of Tuttle.
1870 pound freshman who was count
ed upon to fill guard position. Tut
tie is doing some work after school
and does not have time to practice.
However, Otis Hampton has been
showed into the hole and is making
good with vengeance.
Ivan Sturtevant, who played center
several years ago, has returned to
school and is proving a strong asset
as a punter. His kicks are carrying
40 ana As yards consistently. He Is
playing in the backfield but may be
shifted to end.
Straughan has been pulled back
! from tackle to halfback and is prov
ing a good plunger. Jordan at full
is showing all of his old time steam
and resourcefulness. Brock is doing
the snapper-back stunt but Sheldon
| Ulrich, freshman, is also showing VI
good in this department as well as
with the forward pass.
Captain Russell is the mainstay OF
the line at tackle while Kirkpatrick
Friedley and Rugg are showing uI
better than last year, Altogether
things look pretty bright to the coach.

Friday Night

NEW YORK, Oct 2s.-On account of
scheduled to be held at Madison Square
garden tomorrow night, being sud
denly postponed till November 10, con-
siderable confusion was occasioned in
local boxing circles. Because of the
scheduled leader bout most of the
other clubs did not arrange star bouts
for this week. The postponement of
the big garden event started the other
boxing promoters scurrying around to
arrange rush" cards.

His Willingness to fight and fight
at top speed all of the way took with
the fans. however Miller never
backed up and never stopped trying
to get his opponent. It doesn't
seem probable that Smith will at
tempt any stalling in the coming en-

habilitate himself with local fans for
his poor showing in his bout with
Carl Morris.

Tommy Walsh. All was set for the
occasion until two days ago, when
Eddie sent word that, besides the 80
per cent offered by the club. he must

balked and Eddie cancelled the match.
1t is believed that the Indianapolis
promoters had something to do with
the change of mind. Incidentally. the
mixup cost Walsh his job. for Eddie
declares he never authorized the max

Milwaukee has decided to lift the
