Marsh's Liniment. 1t meets require
ments that no other liniment meets
in the fact that it is a soothing, pene-
alcohol, opium, chloroform or other
harmful durgs, and is specially de-
signed to meet the needs for a mild,
but effective remedy to be used both
internally and externally.
The story of its origin is an inter-
esting one and has occasioned quite
n bit of inquiry from the public.
About twenty years ago the original
recipe for this great remedy was dis
covered in farm paper by the moth
er of the present manager. 1t ap-

ity. On trial it proved to be even
better than claimed, and for twenty
years it stood the test as a reliable
household remedy. About a year ago
the original recipe was sent to one of
the best chemists in New York. He
added one or two valuable antiseptics
and the result was Marsh's Liniment
as you see it today-with one excep-
ton. The beautiful red color would
slowly fade. While it did not affect
the quality of the product it did the
looks. This was overcome by the
addition of a secret red ointment used

Liniment, so far as the public was
it has become a familiar word. Eve
ry one has noticed the clever and
persistent advertising of the remedy
and has noted the fact that every
drug store and a majority of the gen.
eral stores in the Natchez territory
carry it in stock.
Naturally, such widespread success
and enthusiastic development ere.
ates a public interest and curiosity
as to the nature of the remedy, and
also who is responsible, both for tbs
production and for the splendid and
systematic advertising it has re-
ceived.
The home of the Marsh Liniment
Company Is at Washington, the his
toric village of this county. L. G.
Marsh is the manager and chief pro-
moter of the company. He is a pub
lic-spirited citizen, a member of the
Young Mems Business Club of this
city and one who has shown an in
terest in any movement for the ad-
vancement of the interests of this
section, and as such deserves the
support and cooperation of every
liberal-minded citizen. But the sale
of the liniment is not a matter of
personal interest, but of public bene-

Confederate Veteran Offers Services.

MIR. Jas. Archer Turpin of Waterproof
has written to President Wilson to offer
his services during the present war. Mr..
Turpln stated in his letter to the Presi-
dent that he is now 72 years of age and
still hale and hearty and is able to do
guard duty along the levee in his neigh
borhood. Mr.. Turpin also informed the
President that members of his family had
participated in every war that America
had waged from the Revolution to the
the present day, and that he himself
served in the Confederate Army in OAR
den's Mississippi Battery of Artillery
under Gen. Braxton Bragg, Gen. Jos. E.
Johnston and Gen. John B. Hood, and
had brother white Turpin) killed in
the Battle of Nashville, December 18th,
1861. Among Mr.. Turpin's ancestry was
Major John Archer, of Revolutionary
fame, and who had the distinction of be-
ing the first graduate of medicine at the
University OF Tennessee, in 176S, and re-
ceved the first medical diploma issued in
America and which is now preserved
among the archives of the University.
MIR. Turpin has to-day four cousins, one
nephew, one great nephewin-law, one
son-n-law and one grandson in United
States military service on land and sea,
and while he was among the first in '6l
to answer President Davis call for volun-
teers, he will be equally glad to-day to 90
wherever his country may need him.
The example set by this old soldier,
now nearing the sunset of life, should be
followed by the present generation, and
Tensas should be better represented among
the army OF volunteers. The sons of Con-
federate veterans unhappily do not seem
to be filled with the fire of patriotism
that animated their fathers. This con-
dition will probably exist as long as fight
ing is confined to the other side OF the
water, but once the foe sets foot on
American soil, then as one man the
nation will fly to arms.

and District No. 4, from st. Joseph to
L'Argent, Mr.. f. l.. Dimerty in charge.
In addition to the U. s. Inspectors
named, number of pay guards are
on duty at night, who cover two mile
of levee on foot, and which
force is augmented by volunteer
corps of deputy sheriffs, to each of
whom is assigned ten mile stretch.
This volunteer force is also on duty
day and night. AS further provisions
against the unexpected, three barges
loaded with material will be located
along the front, one at Ashwood, one
at Hard Times and one at Kempe.
1t is not from fear of natural damage
to the levees because of the high
stage of the river that has caused this
heavy armed patrol, and other pre-
cautionary measures to be adopted, as
the water situation is giving us prac-
tically no uneasiless, but this pro-
lection is only taken as matter of
precaution against possible injury to
the levees by alien enemies of the
United States. While we do not an
ticipate any overt act in this section
we feel it our duty to obey orders
from State and Federal authorities.
