JUST LIKE THIS
There Are Many Other Cases In
Corinth.

This Corinth man s experience
is but a repetition of similar hap
penings all over the country.
| This Corinth case will interest
you. Read it.
l.. W. Timlake, city alderman
and a well-known merchant, 315
Penn St., Corinth, says: II often
didn't feel like working, owing
to a dull ACHE across the small
of my back, extending down into
my hips. On one occasion I was
confined to my bed for several
days, during which time I was
scarcely able to move. The kid
ney secretions at times were ex-
cessive and then again, scanty.
They were very highly colored
and burned in passage. Doan's
Kidney Pills procured from the
H. E. Walker Drug Co.. made
change in my condition. The
pains and aches left and I co17ld
lie on nv back. something that ]
was unable to do for a long time.
The trouble with the kidney Sc
cretions was also removed"
OVER TEN YEARS LATER.
Mr.. Timlake said: "Doan s Kid
ney Pills made a lasting cure in
every way. 7 hold the same high
regard for this medicine now as
ever"
Price SOC At a1l dealers. Don t
simply ask for kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidnev Pills-the
same that Mr.. Timlake has twice
recommended. Foster Milburn

PEOPLES FORUM

For the benefit Of the good peo
pie OF Rienzi, [ want to say this
in regard to good roads. | an
living in a county (Lee) that alb
solutely believes in good roads
We have a concrete road from
this place to Tupelo, a distance of
only ten miles, and | learn from
the travelling men that some of
the good people Of Rienzi are op-
posing a good road on account of
killing the trade in that place,
and | am one to say, that living
here almost a stone s throw to
Tupelo, speaking from a business
standpoint, and since these good
roads have been built our trade
has been building very fast ever
since, and there is nothing that
will be of more benefit to your
merchants than to have this good
road come right through your
place.
Now, will say this also, that
Lee county is a net work of good
roads and with one other road
east, a distance Of eleven miles to
Itawamba county line, and the
roads in this county (Lee), will
be completed, and instead Of our
taxes increasing, they were re-
duced last year and will continue
to do so as the valuation Of our
real estate is increasing so rapid
ly that it is bound to reduce them,
and / have been in business here
at Saltillo for a period Of thirty
five years and the good roads that
have been built in Lee county for
the last three years has brought
about the life and feeling of pro-
gressiveness more than anything
| think could have been thought
of for us.
| hope this will appeal to
some of my good friends Of Al
ccrn county.
Yours very truly,
T. L. WESSON, |
Salt;llo, Miss.
The weekly Corinthian., 1916-04-20

The proof Of the pudding is in
the eating; much has been said
regarding the road conditions be-
tween Corinth and Rienzi, and
the need for a better highway
connecting these two points. It
was the pleasure (?) of the writ
er to observe these conditions
yesterday from a personal view
point. And to say that such a
road with which we contended is
bad is expressing it mildly. The
need for better roads is clearly
shown, and it should become the
duty of every man who can in
any way aid by his influence or
otherwise, work to the end that
this highway be built. 1t is little
less than a shame that such con-
ditions exist In Alcorn county.

PRICES REMAIN GOOD FOR
EGGS AND CHICKENS

Eggs and chickens continue to
60 out from Corinth each week
There is an average Of a carload
Of chickens and eggs every week,
and the produce firms Of Corinth
are bringing about some very
keen competition, and as a result
prices have been good in produce.
Smith & Butler shipped car
load of eggs this week to the cas-
tern market. The load contained
226 cases, or 6,7SO dozen, realiz-
ing therefrom an average Of S.
per case.

P,W. NASH ANSWERS
LAST ROLL GALL

P. w. Nash, one of Alcorn
county's oldest and best known
citizensj passed into the Great
Beyond this morning at Gas
O'Clock at the home of his sister,
Mrs. M. E. Woodard.
Deceased has been i'll for the
past three years, though only the
past few weeks has his condition
been regarded as serious. A few
days ago, it was known that he
could not recover, despite the ear
nest efforts of loving relatives and
friends, who were constant and
untiring in administering relief
to his sufferings.
Mr.. Nash was a member OF one
of the oldest families in this sec
ton, having lived here for many
years. He was a brave Confeder-
ate soldier, serving with pride in
the Civil War, and he was below
ed by all of his comrades with
whom he rendered actual service
for the Southland.
Mr.. Nash was born in North
Carolina on September %, 1888,
moving to Mississippi when he
was Young, and with the Nash
family settled in PrentiSs county,
making his home at Bonneville
until the last six years. He then
movpd TO Corinth and has been
residing here since that time.
Mr.. Nash was married to Mrs.
NoIIie Davenport, who passed
away several years ago.
He was highly esteemed by all
who knew him. His life was a
quiet one, and his unassUming
manner had always attracted him
to many stanch friends.
He is survived by one step-son,
VIII Davenport, of Paden, and
was a brother to W. J. Nash, de
ceased, Of this city. He is sur
vived by two half-brothers and
sisters, W. G. Nash. of Glens, F.
p. Nash, Mrs. N. E. Woodard and
Mrs. J. J. Bell, of this city.
The remains will be carried to
Bonneville on the early morning
train Wednesday, where they will
be laid to rest beside his wife.
Services will be conducted from
the Bonneville cemetery.
Relatives of the deceased are
rendered the most sincere sym
pathy Of their hosts of friends in
their bereavement.
Mr.. Nash, however, lived in
Corinth before the war, while en-
gagged in business. At the out
break of the war he enlisted in the
Eleventh Mississippi Regiment, |
making a gallant soldier. losing a
leg i'll the second battle of Manas- |
saS.
Mr.. Nash was liberal in his do
nations to charity, and he is said
to have never refused giving to
anyone who applied to him in
need.
He was popular in commercial
lines in this section, and was also
a prominent factor in public Of
flee in Prentiss county, having
served that county for sixteen
years as chancery clerk.

Gladys Klark Company in Bought and
Paid For"

Once in great many seasons, every
stage generation or so, there comes into
the life of the theatre a play so vital
so human, so true to all characteristic
drawings and narratives, that it is a
giant among lot of pigmies.
Bought and Paid For is such a play.
In one character, James Gilley, which is
played with genuine art, it becomes so
true to life as life is with a whole lot
of people, that you laugh hugely and
with the mind debating your every
chuckle. In the part of James Gilley,
Broadhurst has drawn as true charac.
ter as the modern stage has, known.
There are as many laughs in Bought
and Paid For" as there are intense mo-
ments, but when the tense moments
come, they find you gripping the arms
of your chair and living the whole thing
through with the people on the stage.
Through it all, too, is human touch
which dramatist Broadhurst achieves in
his play building and the cast interprets
with mastery skill.
Bought and Paid For" ran for over
fifteen months at the Playhouse, New
York City; six months at the Princess
theatre, Chicago, and over six minths
at the New theatre, London, England. 1t
