There is no question hut what the
us Of women conspire against domes-
tic harmony. The husband cannot
understand these troubles and the ply
sician finds it hard to cure them;
therefore h overworked wife and
mother continues to drag around day
in and day out with headaches and
backache, fretful and nervous.
Such ome should be guided by
the experience OF women whose let
ters we r continually publishing in
this paper. Many of them declare that
they have been restored to health
strength and consequent happiness by

icines had failed to help them It Will

WANTS OTHER NIGER TO USE
WORDS NOT "BROKEN IN TWO

A gentleman sitting in his office UP
stairs over a drug store in a Texas
town overheard the following CONVEX
sation between two sons of Ham, one
of whom was sitting in his wagon and
as the other negro approached he
met this inquiry:
"Say niger, where's you bin any
how? Mr.. Smith down here at de oil
mill bin looking fur you all over
town; he's had me running all over
dis here town looking fer you. Where
has you bin?" To which the other
negro replied; Where has l bin, OATS
my bizness; Ise bin elsewhere"
Whereupon the colored brother in the
wagon rejoined; "Now look here mig
ger. You knows Ise not much edi-
Gated, and when you talks to nc, l
want you to use words that amt broke
in two but once. Did We hear me?"

THE STRAWBERRY
M~-w ORGANIZATION

The meeting of Grenada County
citizens who r giving consideration
to the matter Of strawberry raising
as announced for last Saturday after
noon was a very satisfactory one
from several viewpoints. Rev.
j.. w. Lee and other gentlemen came
with Mr.. Travis from Batesville. Mr..
Lee told about what excellent success
had been had at Batesville and what
he stated had much to do with still
further interesting Grenada County
people. All present showed an in
curing interest into strawberry cul-
ture. Several practical talks were
made and Mr.. Travis again went
somewhat into details as to plans and
methods of a strawberry organiza-
ton. The committee on acreage re-
ported around SO acres pledged and
something over so more were gledged
that afternoon. The meeting ad-
journed after having passed a resolu-
ton authorizing the chairman of the
meeting to name five men who are
to confer together as to organization
plans and r to recommend to the
next meeting the officers of the as
ISOLATION, should one be formed,
seems now assured. 1t is plan
ned to get as much as 260 acres
pledged. Due notice will be given of
the next meeting in time.

GLENWILD CLUB ADVER-
TISED IN CHICAGO

A clipping from a Chicago news
paper shows that Mr.. John Borden
is advertising Grenada County and
Glenwild in Chicago. The ad was a
80 inch display and read thus:
"The official opening of the local
Polo Season (The Sport Of Kings).
The fastest, the most thrilling, the
most exciting game played. POLO
GAME. Sunday and decoration day,
starting promptly at 8 o'clock Rock
ford Riding Club VS. Glenwild Club,
Ct CHICAGO. Ce tral Park. Gardens
Field. 1t has taken three months Of
seeding and rolling to make this
field the only amusement park in
America offering this high grade
sport. Admission so cents including
war tax"
From the above it may be surmised
that at the fair in. Grenada this fall,
there will be given an opportunity to
see this thrilling game which seems
to appeal to those of Chicago who en-
Joy that which is regarded as among
the richest sports.
1t is understood that Glenwild won
in the contest. a fact that Mr.. Bord-
ems Grenada friends are pleased with
and upon which they congratulate
him. {
