It is said that some of the bache-
lors are thinking about organizing a
club. If they do one Of the articles
in the constitution will be whenever
one of the members gets married he
must invite all the others to an elabo-
rate dinner. If such a club is organ
lied we think the following persons
would be eligible: w. E. Coffey, DR..
Goodson, Sam Brewer, Phil Bell, John
Jackson, w. o. Reynolds, Chas. Har-
graves, Howard Walker, E. W.
Thompson, J. H. Kelly, w. Rutledge,
Rev. ]. H. Brooks. The boys seem to
think if the above named persons were
members Of such club that Howard
Walker or DR.. Goodson would be the
first to pay for that elaborate din

has been appointed as one the teachers
in Roger Williams College, Nashville,
Tenn. This is one of the leading COL
leges of the south. It has one of the
prettiest spots in the country for site
standing majestically among the trees

land river. 1t has peculiar fascina-
tion for one thru the cortesy of DR.. A.
M. Townsend, the newly elected presi-
dent. A party of us visited the school
and was conducted thru the various de-

man.
DR.. Townsend is thorough race
man, having sacrificed the position of
cashier in the Peoples Savings bank,
instructor in Maharry Medical col
lege and lucrative practice in Nash
vile to accept the presidency of
Roger Williams college. The influ-
ence of DR.. Townsend and of his es-
timable wife, who is matron and also
one of the faculty, will mean much
to the school.
Miss Coalston has charge of the
business department. We feel sure

many friends wish her success.

More Than Enough Is Too Much.

To maintain health, a mature man
or woman needs just enough food to
repair the waste and supply energy
and body heat. The habitual con-
sumption Of more food than is neces-
sary for these purposes is the prime
cause Of stomach troubles, rheuma-
tism and disorders of the kidneys.
If troubled with Indigestion, revise
your diet, let reason and not appe-
tite control and take a few doses Of
Chamberlain's Tablets and you will
soon be all right again. For sale by
all dealers.
