Professor Heinrich Schock, the

serted that he can cure the great
American disease by reverting to the
attitudes Of our ancestors when they
leaped from bough TO bough Of the
giant trees in the family jungle. The
CIT Of the learned German is, ITO

palms and soles! Thus only can
you Danish the ache from your stom-
ach and restore the vanished roses

And the marvel Is that society has

j. M. Nowlin cut down a tree
and discovered honey in it. He
then sawed off q post length and
got about fives pounds of good
honey, and as Mr.. Nowlin has a

lighted with the find. He stated
that itreminded him of an Incl
dent of about thirty years ago,
when he was down in the river

He cut two trees and out of one
he caught niue coons and out of
the other about Is pounds of
honey. The two trees cost him

Charlie Lewis.
Former Tennessean Dies
at His Home in New
York City and Brought
to Jackson for burial.

Charles E. Lewis, aged about
45 years, died last Friday night,
of Brigbt's disease, after long
illness, at his home in New York
City. His remains were brought
to Jackson for interment in Riv-
erside cemetery, reaching that
city last Monday morning at 8 :55
O'Clock, accompanied by the be,
reaved wife and daughter.
Charlie Lewis was born and
reared to young manhood near
Parsons, Decatur county, where
his mother, Mrs. II. A. Lewis,
four brothers and one sister sur
vive. He was also brother of
Mrs. G. H. Partin, of Lexington,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Partin left for
jackson Monday at S "a. m. to re-

which was held from the Episco-

Madero was betrayed and depos-

occurred will likely never be
known until someone having a
hand in it turns traitor to the
cause with which he happened
to be allied on that particular
day, and gives it all away. The
official statements will doubt
less be mass of lies.
So far as our feelings are con
