TRAVELLING MANS EXPERIENCE.

I'm the summer of 1888 l had very
severe attack of cholera morbus.
Two physicians worked over me
from four am. to pm. without Civ
ing me any relief and then told me
they did not expect me to live; that
had best telegraph for my family.
Instead of doing so, gave the hotel
porter fifty cents and told him to buy
me bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and
take no substitute. l took a double
dose according to directions and went
to sleep after the second dose. At five
o'clock the next morning / was called

lespie says politics in Leflore, like the
fine crop prospects they have, are
booming, and that indications point to
Quin and Reilly as the leading guberna-

ing of Greenwood, Mr.. Gillespie was
lin his element. = for he does notknow
the place in any State that can show
greater attractions, or offer greater
inducements to home-seekers than this
1.-The Queen City Of the Delta" New
enterprises are springing up all the
time, and the people are unanimous in
giving encouragement to them. That's
1.-The milk in the cocoanut." Let the
citizens of any community, even though
it may appear on the wane, get to-
gether and work in harmony for the
accomplishment of some good thing.

put into the efforts of the citizens, and
ere long the community would be fow

BY Uncle GOshdineit

Flattery finds no welcome from
folks with commonsense.
The most valuable utensil the
shiftless man prizes is the peg on
which to hang excuses.
When Despair sights a weakling
it begins to unpack it's First Aid to
the Injured" package.
All the world loves lover"
says an old adage that holds good
only as long as papa doesn't have to
pay an extra gas bill.
Why, when Misery loves COM
pany" does it insist that the COM
pany must be miserable also.
The reason some folks make lit
tie of Truth is by squirting at it thru
the wrong end of the telescope.
There are reports given in the
American press to the effect that
the warning nations have limited that
overtures for peace proposals may
be considered. Let us hope that
these are not rumors like some that
preceded and were unfounded. The
conflict raging in Europe has affec-
ted our civilization with injury to
commerce. industry. politics and
morals. 1t has brought out the evil
as well as the good in mankind, it
also has further brought the lesson
home to all, that peace, sympathy
and liberation between nations are
the fundamentals to progress, which
civilization cherishes. Resorting to
warfare does not help mankind to
progress, it retards it. The ques-
ton as to what nation started the
conflict is superfuous, for all are
guilty or innocent as we wish to
view it. Warfare can not be con-
Quoted with velvet glove; it can
only be conducted with bloodshed
and devastation. and for one bellig-
erent to assume that it's own con-
duction of warfare is holy and CHI
Various and that that conducted by
the belligerent enemy is tiendish and
cowardly, is simply ridiculous rot;
-fairminded people know better
than to believe such argument. The
hoped-for peace. when consumated,
will but prove the fact that the bel
ligerents have used whatever means
they had at hand TO hasten the end
of the strife to victorious conclus-
ion, and that the present bitterness
between them has caused excuses
that will be regretted for years to
come. by each belligerent. We
trust and pray that Peace is to a.
gain hold out her hand to the bel
ligerent nations and say: come, let
us reason together!''
