To the Voters of-the 9.h Judsoial
District4 take tins means of an
nouncing' myself as a candidate for
District Attorney in the 9th Judicial
District of the Htnto, and 1 do this
not at tho “solicitation of many
friends.” and “numerous voters,” but
simply of.tny own motion, as an a|v
plicant for this non-political arid
important position.
Having spent the grea'cr part of
my early youth and manhood in
Rankin and Ilind-icounties,and hav
ing tcrvod the pcolde in the various
capacities of Legi-dtlor, an re Upl

bring capacity and conscience to the
duties of the office I seek. Thev
best know, if fear or favor, friendship
or malice would influence me in dea

duties faithfully and protecting the
public from the presence of vie© and

and the people the true court to try
it, I tiring my cause bffore them for

Druggist,
Huzleliurst, Miss.

Business for the, lust few weeks bns
increased in the New Filler Building
to that extent that ibis column 1ms not
received the attention that was de
signed it at the time i| was contracted
for. When we have lens to do we will
make more use of it. For the
present we have decided to insert
this notice, and ask our friends to call
and see us. We will please you
Our motto is to please.
We keep the best, and sell it at a
fair price.
Our Job Printing Office is in good
order.
Our prescription department is per
fect.
Our Homeopathic department is
complete.
C'liildren'say Oi-ko tastes like Pep
permint candy. Only 25c a bottle.
The Halves, Ointments, and J.ini
menrs made rt 51. J. Jones’Drug Store
will give satisfaction.
Don’t fail to recommend Oi-ko for
children. It is wrong to punish a pa
tient and especially a child with nasty
tasting medicines when it can he
avoided.
For Colic, Sour Stomach,
Heartburn or Diarrhoea, eith
er in grown persons or chil
dren, give OI-KO.
This remedy is so valuable, and its
use required so often in families, that
it is entitled to the name of Big & Lit
tle “J” Family Medical Syrup. Don’t
think of giving to cross bstbys anything
but OI-KO.
The Big & Little “J”
Comp. Syrup of Bloodroot is
the remedy for Coughs and
j Fevers.
Our manufacturing department is
receiving the encouragement it de
serves. We mention four leading ar
ticles, as below:
40(10 Uig and Little, “J” Family
Fills, manufactured iu April, and on
ly a few boxes left. 150 bottles of
Big and Little Female Bitters
sold during th© year. Oi-ko lias met
with a larger sale, and Compound
Syrup of liloodroot is doing well.
This is a small business compared
with what we generally do with these,
but it is encouraging considering the
fact that we hare only recently re
sumed their manufacture,
R. A. Harrison, of Crystal Springs,
says of it: ‘‘That Comp. Syrup of
liloodroot will cure you quick. It will
loosen up all that phleghm, and^you
will get it away just as easy; a ml you
may tell your people it is tin; best
medicine for children in Fevers I ever
saw.” Dr Dampeer says of this: ‘*It
is a valuable remedy in the treatment
of Fevers, Coughs and Colds, especial
y to be recommended for children.”
Bij & Little “J” Female B.ttcrs
Reasons why this valuable preparation
is so popular:
! It is a compoimd'of rare merit.
2 It is made at home and is as re
commended.
It is peculiarly adapted to the
wants ot women.
4 It affords the best home treatment
that can be adopted,
5 It has been in constant use in por
tions of the country traversed by the
Big & Little “J’f Railroads for six
teen years. We recently sold to one
man half a gross.
Dr. Dampeer, of Crystal "’Springs,
says of it: “It has given universal
satisfaction.” It should be used for
any difficulty peculiar to a girl, lady
or woman. All Druggists speak of if
in file highest terms,
