about as poor an article as could be

electric lights. They are turned on
about two hours after dark and
when on one is forced to light a
match to see if there is light. We
have been told that the light plant
would close about the first of the

sent condition that would be very
little missed.

| themselves useful on the farms. Per-
sonally our interests are centered on
the primary department and we have
nothing but the highest terms to
speak of Miss Kelley.
Another disgraceful row took place
on Saturday night between some ne
groes and drunken whites and along
after midnight shooting. yelling and
disorder kept the peaceful citizens
awake, while not an officer was in
sight. This disorderly element ought
to be apprehended and dealt with by
severe penalty of the law. A special
colored police should be provided.
On last Sunday evening a decent
and respectable colored element of
our colored people held special Eas-
ter services at their church with a
program that would have done cred

Why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
Of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
Ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol.
