Keep Il Handy fOr rheumatism

No use to squirm and vince and try
to wear out rheumatism. It will wear
you out instead. Apply some Sloan's
Liniment. Need not rub it in-just
let it penetrate all through the affect
ed parts. relieve the soreness and
draw the pain. You get ease at once
and feel so much better you want to
go right out and tell other sufferers
about Sloan's. Get bottle of Sloan's
Liniment of any druggist and have it
in the house against colds, sore and
swollen joints, lumbago, sciatica and
like ailments. Kour money back if
not satisfied, but it does give almost
instant relief. Buy bottle to-day.

Meeting Closed
The Most Remarkable Preacher
Ever in SeImer
Rev. Burke Culpepper, After Nine
Days, Left tuesday Morning

Our people have had the privilege
of listening to the most noted evan
gelist for nine days and nights that
ever preached in Selmer. We have
had a number of noted preachers of
all denominations in the past, but
they all sink into insignifcance when
lined up with Culpepper. Never has
there been vacant seat day or night
sincethe first Monday morning.
He is not a subject sermonizer, but
draws every listener with a magnetic
cord, by his logic, earnestness and
vivid delivery. His illustrations in
the form Of personal observations and
heart melting as well as blood curd-
ling stories, delivered with the stage
effect of a Booth, catches the mind
and heart of men.
He preached every morning and
evening and on last Sunday preached
about FIVE times: In the morning to
the children; at II to the crowd; at
2 to the men; at 3:l5 to the women,
and at night to the general public.
He enjoyed his stay here, and spoke
in the highest praise Of our town and
people. He said he would be here in
two years with a big tent.
He preached to 1000 men from a
wagon on the street Monday.
The result Of the meeting cannot
be counted. A large number came
forward and promised better lives,
and many made open confessions.
To Rev. J. w. Carnell his coming is
attributed. He loves Calnell, and to
Bro. Carnelps untiring oversight Of
details was the meeting such a sue
cess. Culpepper came without a
word said as to his pay, He said
when he first came he supposed it was
about q SIS town, as he had so often
seen, but when the envelopes were re-
turned and counted $225 was the
voluntary contribution. Also con-
tribution Of $2S was made a few
minutes before adjourning to Bro.
Carnell.
After many hearty handshakes he
left the church ard took the 1880
train for Memphis.
All the people of the town and sur
ronnding country were benefited, and
many lukewarm Christian aroused
and many a thoughlless and uncon-
ceined sinner aroused. Several young
business men of tie town took stand
for religion.

The government ginners report
of cotton ginned to Dec. l shows
1905, l06 bales. The November
ginning showed a falling off.
which indicates that the crop
was ginned earlier than usual.
We still predict a sixteen million
crop, and a 6to 7 cent crop for
this and next crop. Planters
who cannot raise cotton in 1916
for 6 cents should plant some
thing else or let the land rest.

Why the Youths Companion Should be
in Every Family

IF | could take only one paper,
said the late Mr.. Justice Brewer of
the Supreme Court, it would be the
Youths Companion "a little of every-
thing in a nutshell, and unbiased"
The Companion is a family paper in
the completest sense. 1t provides
reading that, without failing to inter-
est tha young, still interests the ma
ture. 1t unites young and old through
their common enjoyment Of delightful
fiction, agreeable miscellany, and the
clear exposition Of public questions.
So carefully is it edited, so varied
are its contents, that it would easily
supply a family with entertaining
fiction, up-to-date information end
wholesome fun, if no other periodical
CubcItu lio HUuSe.

Companion as it is to-day, let US send
