Washington, D. c., September s.
An office of the Land and Industrial
Department of the Southern Railway,

Der LIST with H. R. Buckley in charge
with the title of Travelling Agent.
The opening of the Denver office will
extend the work of the Southern
Railway and affiliated lines in the

battlefield and not only the topogra-
ply of the field but the positions of
every company or regiment on each
side. 1t was the work of lifetime
by many officials in collecting the
data. Gen. M. ]. Wright was chief
of the force collecting the Confeder-
ate records. To him is attributed
much praise by congress and officials
Of the government in so satisfactory
ly accomplishing the task which he
undertook under the auspices of the
War Department.
We poorly feel able to express our
individual appreciation as we'll as that
of the Selmer High School and all our
people to Gen. Wright for finding"
this work and to Gov. Patterson for
so willingly and readily complying
with the wishes of Gen. Wright in
donating them free Of any expense to
our school which promises so much
not only to Selmer but the whole
county Of McNairy.

FEEL RIGHT ALL THE TIME
Don't Let Periodical Spells Of Lazy Liver
Ruin Your Temper and
Spoil Your Work

If your liver doesn't behave right
all the time-if it sometimes stops
working and you become bilious and
"headachy"-don't take calomel, but
try Dodson's Liver Tone.
You are safe in taking Dodson's
Liver Tone. It's a harmless, pleas
ant vegetable remedy that starts the
liver without stirring up your whole
system as calomel often does. 1t is
especially good for children who need
liver tonic once in while, but who
should not be losed with strong drugs.
Dodson's Liver Tone is sold by B.
L. Browder. This store guarantees
it with clean open and shut guar
antee-your money back with a smile
If it fails to satisfy you. Price, so
cents a bottle, and your money is as
safe as If you had it in your pocket.
II you need the medicine you need it

Strengthen Weak Kidneys

Don't suffer longer with weak kid
neys. You can get prompt relief by
taking Electric Bitters, that wonder
full remedy praised by women every
where. Start with a bottle today,

or pain. Mr.. John Bowling. of San
Francisco, writes: Gratitude for
the wonderful effect of Electric Bit
ters prompts me to write. 1t cured
my wife when all else failed" Good
for the liver as well. Nothing better
for Indigestion or biliousness.

The West Tennessee Farmers
Institute met at Jackson last
week. The attendance was large
and made up of live farmers from
every county in West Tennessee.
There was nothing done outside
of the usual discussion Of the
questions confronting the agri-
culturist of this section. The
afternoons were spent at the
Experiment Farm, which was of
interest to all. The crops show
different modes of cultivation,
and the different varieties of
standard crops. Assistant Com
missioner R. T. DeBerry was Sc
lected president and ]. D. John
ston secretary. Nearly all the
delegates from McNairy were
present and got much benefit we
trust from the meeting.

The Importance and prominence Of
the Selmer High School brought to
Gen. Marcus j. Wright of Washing
ton an inspiration to be of use to the
children and citizens of his native
county. He discovered that a set of
the Official Records of the Union
and Confederate Armies" was due Ex-
Gov. M. R. Patterson as a late men,
Der of congress. He Immediately
wrote Gov. Patterson this fact and
asked him to give him an order for
the same to be donated to the Sell
mer High School. Gov. Patterson at
once sent him the order, and the ad-
jutant general sent the entire works
by mail to ]. W. Purviance for the
school. They arrived Wednesday
morning.

and a set of Sd aliases. This is per-
haps the most stupendous work lever

Under the call of Gov. Hooper
the legislature is now in session.
A call session is limited to twenty
days. 1t is expected that it will
take that time to put over the
many items included in the call.
The enforcement bills will be
the mountain to climb. There
are several regulars who were
elected to carry out temperance
legislation. Most Of them can
hardly prove false to their pre-
election pledges. 1t is to be
hoped that dignity and order will
control, and that some of the
smut may be removed from the
body heretofore in session, by
coming down to craftsmanship.

The contest for mayor of Nash
vile is waging hot. The prima-

cumbent, House, stands on his
record as that of letting things

form of segregation and control
of saloons and closing up gam
bling houses and other dens of
vice. Cooper is running on a
strict law-enforcement platform.
He proposes to close out the
saloons and other dens of vice.
He and Meeks are doing hot
speech making. while House is
lying low and marshaling his
crowd of law breakers and their
imps. He will have a big army
of such at the polls.
