t he Bolivar Bulletin. Hugh "Williams, Editor. Progress Tklkpiione No.' 17. Friday, June 7, 1901. . A Nasiivillk firm sold -this' week a drove of 800 cattle to Armour. & Co., of Chicago, for g?50,000, an average of $G2.50 per head. Tuose of our farmers who have been compelled to buy corn and meat, and expect to pay for it in the fall from the proceeds of the ' sale of their cotton, will derive but little consolation from the estimate . just made by the Statistician of the Agricultural Department, to the ef feet that the cotton planted area this year is increased 2,498,000 acres over the planting of last year. Ax the reunion in Memphis, a motion was before the convention to adopt a resolution to build monument to the heroic Southern women. "Those favoring the adoption of the resolution will say 'aye,' " cried Gen. Gordon. "Aye! " shouted five thousand men who wore the gray. "1 cannot insult you gentlemen by putting the negative, cried out the courtly, chivalrous, splendid Georgian, and he declared the resolution adopted. This week, St. Katharine's closed the most successful term in its his tory. A noble work is being ac complished by this school, whose pupils are enrolled from nearly every state in the South. St. Kath arine's is a credit to Bolivar, and our people are justly proud of it That the principal, a most excel lent lady, may long be spared to train the minds and hearts of the girls of our country, is the earnest desire and sincere wish of all. The following telegram from Nashville shows that the Anti- Saloon League proposes to make it interesting for the whiskey interests in this state: "Rev. John Royal HarriSjOf Lewisburg,has been elect cd superintendent of theLcague,and he is eroinec to make a vigorous effort to stir up the boys, lie is now preparing for a campaign that is contemplated to extend to the election of the next legislature. The League purposes to have every candidate for the legislature to commit himself before election as to his position on the saloon question, and every effort will be made to send men to the legislature who are in harmony with the League's pur poses. To this end it will be the en deavor of the superintendent to es tablish a local league in every coun ty in the State and in as many towns and cities as possible. Mr. Harris intends to procure exact dates and keep a careful record of the temperance situation in towns that have been enabled to banish saloons by the Peeler bill, so that the argument that "prohibition does not prohibit" many be met by facts. Every violation cf the law is to be prosecuted, able counsel having been employed' for this purpose."

How Tne Dog Law Works in Cheatham. In an article on "The Waste of Public Money," published in the Saturday Evening Post of Philadel phia, former President Cleveland sounds a warning to the people against the dangers that lie in reck less extravagance in public expendi tures. Among other , things he says: "If the aggregate mass of out people are at all blameworthy on account of the present advanced stage of public prodigality, it is largely because they overlooked and tolerated its small beginnings, when at all times they should have been vigilant and uncompromising. A self-ruling people, responsible for every miscarriage of their Govern ment, should, above all things, con stantly remember that nothing multiplies itself more abundantly than national extravagance; and that neither an individual nor a popular government can easily correct or check habits of waste. "While easy-going indifiierence and toleration produce bitter fruit, an infinitely more dangerous and threatening condition is presented by the- fact that-many of our citizens have passed, beyond -.the. stage of raere-indiffere nee, and, by accepting the bribes of-,seIfish ' and personal - advantage-which. public waste and 'Xtravagance. offer; have been stim ed "ated to find excuses for their exist er,'.ce.

Resolved, That we extend to the widow, children and relatives the tenderest sympathy of each and every member of this Lodge.

Where now they sleep, as sacred ground. To you, old Vets, who woreihe gray, Let's do the right, no trust betray," Nor envy those who wore the blue With no pension we'll niak it throngb ; Expect no favors till death shall come, Let's march together to tap of drum, Our fallen braves up there we'll meet, Whose steps now vie with acgel feet. To you, our friends, who wish to see The boys who fell for you and me. They've donned the white, put off the gray. They're walking now the shining way ; Their crowns will shine forever, bright, When stars and suns are lost in night; He true to friends, and then you'll meet, And tread with them the golden street.

O, jes; I am a Southern girl, And glory is the name; I lioast of it with greater pride Than glittering wealth or fume ; I envy not the Northern girl Her robes of beauty rare, Though diamonds deck her snowy ne k Aud pearls bestud her hair. Chorus Hurrah, hurrah.' For the sunny South, so dear! Three cheers fur the homespun dress The Southern ladies wear! Now, Xorthen goods are out of date; And, since Old Abe's blockade We Southern girls can be content With goods that's Southern made. We send our sweethearts to the war. But girls, ne'er you miud Your soldier-love will not forget The girl he left behind. The Southern land's a glorious land, And has a glorious cause ; Then cheer, three cheers for Southern rights And for the Southern boys! We scorn to wear a bit of silk, A bit of Northern lace, JJut make our homespun dresses up, And wear them with a gruco. And, now. young man, a word to you, If you would win the fair, Go to the lield where honor calls And win your lady there: Remember that our brightest smiles Are for the true and brave. And that our tears are all for those ho till the soldier's grave. Li out. Harrington, "of Alabama. A Patriotic Wedding. (Confederate Reunion, Memphis, Tenn. May, 1901.)

Lyon Manufacturing Co., Brooklyn, N. V. Dear Sirs : I will say that your Mexican Mustang Liniment has done a wonderful cure in this part of the country. I own the stallion known as the 44 State of Ten nessee," who has a large patronage both far and near his service this Spring to date is 102 mares. I was offered $400x0 when he was two years old. I refused same. Then some one took him from the stable and commenced with a wire and wrapped the right leg from the foot up to his hip, and after standing all night the leg had swollen so large as to hide the wire, and in five days the" leg bursted and the flesh turned inside out. I spent large sums of money to have him cured but up to five months ago it was quite a failure, and then a friend induced me to try a bottle of your liniment. I used one of the 25-cent bottles because I did not have much faith in it, but it helped him so much that I bought a second, third and fourth bottle, which completely cured him. The reason it took so long to cure is that it had a kind of itching sensation when it was healing a little, when he would bite it with his teeth. I put the liniment on the wound with a feath er and rubbed the swollen parts with my hand. Mexican Mustang Liniment seemed to take out all the itching as well as to cause it to heal rapidly, and he showed no disposition to interfere with it. The one dollar purchase has been worth hundreds of dollars to me. I keep your Liniment in my breeding stable all the time, and to those who have horses I will say it is the best liniment that money can buy., I will answer all inquiring letters. .
