1t is true that many contract severe
colds and recover from them without
taking any precaution or treatment and
a knowledge of this fact leads others TO
take their chances instead Of giving
their colds the needed attention. 1t
should be borne in mind that every cold
weakens the lungs, lowers the vitality,
makes the system less able to Withstand
each succeeding attack and paves the
way for the more serious diseases. Can
you afford to take such desperate chan
ces when Chamberlains Cough Remedy

us not only of him but of those who
may pattern their lives after his,
should they be reminded of itr And
his service was not limited to Brook
haven and Lincoln county, but ex-
tended throughout Mississippi and
adjoining states. In New Orleans he
was prominently known. He was a
representative Southerner. He car
ried into the commercial. financial
and social life of northern cities
an atmosphere that mirrored the
standards Of the southern gentle
man.
When the innumerable friends
who will read this article shall have
expressed in the only way possible
to secure a lasting memorial, it will
then be determined by all of them
what form the memorial shall take.
The writer Of this article, knowing
we'll the spirit of the man it is
sought to honor, is assured by the
memory of the aged faces he bright
| ened by his ready recognition. and by
recollection of childish voices that
hailed him as he passed, and little
clinging hands that sought his own
responsive grasp along the highways
of Brookhaven, that memorial
made of MOSAIC of the smallest
contribution from the wealth. of love
that the Oldest and the youngest felt
for him, as well as the great gifts of
"men grown tall'' in the financial
world and women whose interests
and organizations he made his own,
would be the tribute Mr.. McGrath
would cherish above what money a.
lone could erect in ambitious pride
and arrogance, without the propel-
ling power Of love and longing for
the old days that knew him, but
now know him no more.
He has climbed the great worlds
altar stairs that lead through dark
ness up to Cod. Our memory of
him as he passed should be expressed
in permanent memorial.
Contributions to the memorial
fund may be sent to A. B. Furlow at
the First National Bank, or w. d.
Davis at the Brookhaven Bank &
| Trust Co., who are authorized treas
urers of the memorial fund.

mittee to make any personal appeal
for contributions, but all donations
will be gratefully acknowledged

amounts subscribed to be left at Ell

 SHOULDERS ON THE MAT

.1ss a - AIT, .;
 BOSTON, Mass; April 19.-'"Te& (Richard) Daviscourt, the gentleman contender for the worlds wrestling championship title, will get a chance tonight to make good his boast that he can put "Strangler" Lewfs's shoul- ders on the mat in short order, when he meets the champion in a finish contest for the best two out of three falls.
 The Eastern sportsmen are wager ing heavily on Daviscourt, but the bulk of Western money is said to be down on the champion.
 Daviscourt is giant, possessing enormous strength, and, besides, he is agile and tricky.
 The "Strangler" said recently he would be delighted to take the con- ceit out of the challenger.

LONDON, Auril 19.-The European Allies agreed today that the Repara- tions Commission shall declare the new treaty between Russia and Ger many, signed at Rapallo, to be null and void," says a Genoa correspond ent of the Daily Mail, and Prime Minister Lloyd George declares the coalition between the two powers must be halted now, unless Europe wishes to invite a future struggle of first magnitude.
 Since the signing of the Rapallo treaty there has been no statement or comment from Russian or German sources.
 Belief is growing here that the negotiations between Berlin and Mos COW were completed some time ago. together with the treaty, and that the new allies selected the Genoa Con- ference as the best time and place for announcing the deal to the world.

NothingD0ing
 For ArbuckIe Says Mr. Hays
NEW YORK, April 19.

NEW YORK, April 19. - Cancellation of all contracts for showing cinema films in which Fatty" ArbuckIe ap- pears was announced today by Will H. Hays, supreme head of the Motion Picture Producers Association.
 This action, Mir. Hays said in reply to inquiries, muIIifies nearly 10000 contracts and eliminates ArbuckIe from the movie" business.
 The action of the "movie lord" came like thunder clap to many prominent pro- ducers and distributors, who had announced their plans for showing the Arbuckle comedies.
 MT. Hays action admits of no compromise. He literally kicked Arbuckie, his pictures and everything connected with them, out of the picture indus- try, exercising the supreme power which was granted him recently under contract.
