The lower bouse of the legisla
ture exhibited » preponderance of
horso sense compared to the upper
branch, when ii killed the anti cig
urottc bill. All such sumptuary
laws are simply an encumbrance to 1
the statute book, and are not worth
the paper they are written upon.
Such a law has never been a sue*
( ess anywhere and never will, A
man has tho inalienable right to
buy and smoke a cigarette, a drink
of whiskey, or anything else which i
does not intcrlere with the peace
or comfort of others, whenever and
wherever he chooses, and it is ri-l
ditulous to uneidtake to deprive
him of such right by a statute, un
Joss said statute may go to the root
of the thing and stop its produc
tion. Just so long a? whiskey is
made, men will drink it. and just so
long as tobacco is manufactureJ,
men will smoke cigarettes.
Klscwhe-re in this issue wo are
printing a notico of a meeting of
tbe Daughters ot the Confederacy,
which is called for Thursday.
March 0 at the court house, and
we are requested to w i*o some
»' nrj which will imj ress the
X>Mc_*tters and others with the irn
porta Lice of this organisation, and
nduce them to be present. The
mere announcement of ihe meeting
it seems to us, should draw a large
crowd of our patriotic women. The
objects of the organization are so
laudable and beautiful that further
urging should be unnecessary, yet
it is a fact that a quorum cannot
be hud, and business of importance
is being neglected, l’leaso remem
brr the date, ladies, and don’t fail to
attend. It is a duty you owo the
memory of the brave men who
faced the cannon’s mouth for your
beloved southland.
Poi rest City will have a free
ftebool, beginning, wo presume, in
September next. We hope the
board will make no mistake in se
lecting the principal and teachers.
They should bo thoroughly quali
fied, and should be selected for no
other reason than tlieir capabilities
and qualifications. There should
be no iuvoi ite friends to pleaso, no
icsilancy in taking a firm and de
termined stand in favor of the mosl
progressive methods, and above all
the principal should bo a man who,
t he should have occasion to puu
sh a pupil, and the pupil's pater
should interfere, would thrash the
said parent as well. Tberc are a
| m uvi'i} cu in mu imj
that hold views of such mutters
which aro very detrimental to the
child, and the principal who will
teach a few of such persons a les
ion or two is the boy for ub. Woj
think that when a boy is sent to
aohool be should bo expected to
obey the rules, and if he docs not,
ho should be compelled to do so
and punished lor breaking them,
and the parent who objects to such
methods stands in the way of bis
child’s best interests. The teacher
should be reasonable and firm,
without fear, and not afraid to
n ike somobody mad or hurt some
person’s feelings, by properly cor
recting or chastising any refrac
tory pupil.

Because the liver is
neglected people suffer ^B
with constipation, biliousness, 1
headaches aim fevers. Colds attack '
the luncrs and contagious diseases
take hold of the system. It is safe
to aay that if the liver were always
kept in proper working order,
illness would oe almost unknown.
Thedford’s Black-Draught is so
successful in curing such sickness
because it is without a rival as a
liver regulator. This great family
medicine is not a strong and
drastic drug, but a mild and
healthful laxative that cures con
stipation and may be taken by a
mere child without _ possible
harm.
The healthful action on the liver
cures biliousness. It has an in
vigorating effect on the kidneys.
Because the liver and kidneys do
not work regularly, the poisonous
acids along with the waste from
the bowels get back into the blood
and virulent contagion results.
Timely treatment with Thed
ford’s Black-Draught removes the
dangers which lurk in constipation,
liver and kidney troubles, and will
positively forestall the inroads of
Bright's disease, for which dis
ease in advanced stages there is
no cure. Ask your dealer for a
‘•’5c. package of Thedford’s Black
Draught. 1

Mrs. Stone Entertains.
The lovely home of Dr. and Mrs.
J. E. Stone waa the scene of a very '
enjoyable social function last Sat
urday afternoon, when Mrs. Stone
entertained a few of her large cir
clc of friends at cards, complimen
tary to her friend, Mrs. Joe Vacca
ro, of Memphis.
Those present were Mrs. J. D.
Baugh, Mrs. A. J. Vaccaro, Mrs.
Joe Vaccaro, of Memphis, Miis Lu
cy Maris, Miss Lucy Williams,Mrs.
M. Bridgforth, Mrs. Luther Patton,
of Woodward, Oklahoma, and Mrs.
A. B. Pyle, of Muldrow, I. T.
The entrancing game of euchre
was enjoyed for an hour or two,
whon delicious refreshments were
daintily served by the charming
hostess. Miss Maris captured the
prise, a beautiful match safe, for
highest score, and all agree that
Mrs. Stone fully understands the
happy art of making her guests
merry.
Startllnsr Mortality.
Statistics show startling mortality, from
appendicitis and peritonitis. To prevent
and cure these awful diseases, there is
just one reliable remedy, Dr. King's New
l.ife Pills. M. Flannery, of 14 Custom
douse Place, Chicago, says: “They have
no equal for Constipation and Bilious
ness.” 35c at all drogglsts.
The Cause of Many
Sudden Deaths*
There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep
tive. Many sudden
deaths are caused
by it—heart dis
ease, pneumonia,
heart failure or
apoplexy are often
the result of kid
ney disease. If
kidney trouble is
allowed to ad vance
the kidney-poison- j
ed blood will at- I
Lae*. iuc vital organs, causing caiarrn ot |
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves :
break down and waste away cell by cell, j
Bladder troubles almost always result ‘
from a derangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest bv a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp*Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through’ the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, Dr. Kil- j
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When j
writing mention reading this generous !
offer in this paper. Don't make any |
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp- j
Root, Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, and the 1
address, Binghamtou, N. Y., on every
bottle.
