Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your cough, chest
cold, or bronchial irritation, you can
get relief now with Creomulsion.
Serious trouble may be brewing and
you cannot afford to take chance
with any remedy less potent than
Creomulsion, which goes right to
the seat of the trouble and aids ma
ture to soothe and heal the inflamed
mucous membranes and to loosen
and expel the germ-laden phlegm.
Even if other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained from the very first
bottle. Creomulsion is one word-not
two, and it has no hyphen in it.
Ask for it plainly, see that the name
on the bottle is Circumcision, and
you'll get the genuine product and
the relief you want. (Adv.)

Land of Antiquity
After short stay in this fascin
ating land of antiquity, where a
mans wealth is in his sheep, and
wheat and stock are staff of life
Mrs. Bolyan took her children for
trip about Yugoslavia for two
weeks, eventually arriving again at
the city nearest to the mountain
country, where the children's rela-
tives had journeyed to catch last
glimpse of Daci and Lawrence. The
children had thought they were on
their way to New York.
ut was disappointing to the chill
dren," Mrs Bolyan smiled, ito find
that they were still among Serbians
after all the travelled miles behind"
Lawrence and Daci voiced their
sorrow"
rs this New York;" they queried.
"Is this Chicago? 1 thought you said
everyone spoke English in Amer
ica?"
Then, turning to their relatives,
they asked dozen questions one
would ask after ten years of absence
not two weeks
How are the crops?-Have the
wolves gotten any sheep?-How are
so-and-so faring?"
And then to a brother who had
been married while they were gone,
Have you any children YETI"
After the red-tape of visas and
examinations, the journey to AM
erica and Alaska was finally begun.
Mrs. Bolyan addressed the children
as Honey" frequently, and they
asked the meaning Of the word
which she explained as a term one
used when they liked someone. Com
ing over on the boat to New York,
the children took a liking to the
waiter.
Honey, may I have some more
applesouce, please?" became a fire.
quent request the children made
upon their waiter friend.
Schooling
Lawrence had four years of
school in his mountain home-all
that the peasants can give them
without sending the children away
to the cities, and Daci has had two.
They entered the first grade in Ju-
neau today, to enlarge upon an
English vocabulary already well
along, before moving up to the
grades which they should be in.
How quickly they will learn is dis
played by Lawrence's learning to
play bridge on the short trip from
Seattle. Already, he asks for -four
aces when his cards are dealt him.
All Juneau will love these chill
dren. This reporter fell like the
proverbial ton of bricks for them
and hopes that by Christmas, they
will say to him in their polite and
untarnished manner that speaks of
centuries-pure hearts, Il like you
you are good mani"

PROGRAM
BEING TESTED TODAY
AT WINONA COURT
Is INTERESTED IN
OUTCOME

Interest in Durant today will
be centered upon Winona where
the validity Of Governor Whites
Industrial Act Program of 1896
will be made in chancery court
bond valuation proceedings.
The legislature Of Mississippi,
in extraordinary session, passed
an act in 1896 that allowed mu-
inequalities to vote bond issues
for the purpose of constructing
buildings, ETC., as an inducement
to industry.
Durant was the first commun-
ity in the state to pass such an
issue. It was not contested In
this county Consequently the
citizens are watching with inter-
est the outcome of the proceed
ings at Winona.
Upon the outcome of this test
may rest the governors entire
program to "balance agriculture
with industry with the virtual
assurance that regardless of which
way the matter is decided by the
chancellor the supreme court will
be called upon to review the case
later on appeal.
The immediate case before
Chancellor L. A. Smith is the OBJ
lection Of a taxpayer to the vail
dation Of $4,000 in bonds vot-
ed recently for industrial devel-
opment Of the municipality.
The Winona program does not
involve any particular industry,
but the bond issue is intended to
finance the attraction of indus
tries to the municipality.
The voters Of the town approx.
ed the bond issue by an over
whelming majority, the vote be-
ing better than twi to one in favor
of the proposal, with more than
half the electos participating.
