STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply a few drops then lift corns or
caIluses off with fingers-
no pain.

No bumbug! Any corn. whether hard,
soft or between the toes. will loosen
right up and lift out, without . particle
Of pain or soreness.
This drug il called freezone and is .
compound of ether discovered by q Gin
cinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for q small
bottle of freezone, which viii cost but
q trifie, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet of every corn OF callus.
Put q few drops directly upon any
teader. aching corn or callus. Instantly
the soreness disappears and shortly the
corn or callus will loosen and can be
lifted off with the fingers.
This drug ~freezone doesn't al out
the corr or calluses but shrivels them
without rel irritating the surround
ing skin.
just think! No pain at all; no sore
uess pr smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't have
freezone have him order it for you. 8

a dog he proposed to back against the

As the time drew near there were
rumors that all was not right with the
dog, and the Scots friends were max

accepted ESQ as a compromise in lieu

That Indefinite Article.

The rule dealing with the indefinite
article preceding words commencing
with "u' when pronounced .'yu") does
not appear to be an adamantine one.
Like Macaulay, with his fondness for
AN university, many of our best
writer's and speakers prefer to ignore
the rule and back their fancy in this
little question of euphony. As for the
maj in the street, the matter has long
ago been settled in favor of "a in all
cases where the initial "u" has the
"yu' sound, partly no doubt because
such phrases as IAN united people do
not come trippingly off the tongue and
have an old fashioned. pedantic flavor.
And there are sensitive ears that will
prefer "a unique" to the more studied
an unique."-London Chronicle.

Early MARRIAGE In China.

1t is nothing rare in China for boys
twelve to fourteen years old to marry
The physical, moral and intellectual
development of the contracting par.

Other considerations entirely regulate
the affair.
An old Chinese aphorism says that
the great business of life is ended when

The Chinese parents do not care to run
the danger of postponing the marriage

Dodson's Liver Tone is q pleas

full at night. and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick head

What Stock Means to Lee
County

There is only a small Der
of the people of Lee county who
realize what stock means to the
county as will very likely be
shown by the following figures:
From Tupelo alone there was
shipped last year 155 cars Of cat
tie, 40 cars of hogs and cattle
mixed, "a cars of mules and four
cars of hogs; while from the
county at large 251 cars of cattle.
hogs and mules were shipped.
The cattle and hogs shipped
brought around $1,000 per car
and the mules brought about
So, 500 per car. This gives us an
approximate sum of 1896, 500 for
stock sold out of the county last
year.
The money from the sale of
this stock has been the means of
tiding the farmers over a bad
year. But is there not a proba-
bility that some of the farmers
are selling stock that they should
keep? 1t is true that some of
the farmers are almost forced to
sell stock they should keep on
account of a lack Of feedstuff.
This should be a lesson to the
farmers, teaching them that feed
crops are some of the most i'm
portant crops to be considered
this year, and the above figures
show what can be gotten from
the sale of stock. Where there
is a possible chance for the farm
ers to keep some good heiIers
for breeding and a few sows, or
gifts that are old enough to far
row early in order to get pigs
through which a large crop of
sweet potatoes, soy beans, COW
peas. peanuts and velvet beans
can be marketed, this should be
be done.
We should remember that a
full criband a full hay loft means
fat cattle and fat hogs. and that
means money as is shown from
shown from the above figures.
Will you be one of the number
who will have the hogs and cat
tie (hogs especially to sell this
fall? G.. C. Mingee,
