so nicely that I felt very much encouraged, as
soon as I got my sample Iron 1 started out and
sold 3 Irons the first (lay. clearing $12. I have

A Churn That Churns In One Minute.
I have been In the dairy business all my life
and have many times churned for an hour be
fore butter would appear, so when 1 heard of a
churn that would churn in a minute, 1 con
cluded to try it. Every day for a week I used it,
and not only could I churn in a minute, but I
got more and better butter than with the com
mon churn. This is vein- lni|»ortant Informa
tion to butter makers. Tlie churn works easily
and will churn an ordinary churning In less
than sixty seconds. I have sold two dozen of
these churns in the past month. Every butter
maker that has seen me chum in less than a
minute bought one. You can obtain all desired
information regarding the churn by addressing
J. *F. Casey & Co,. St. lands, Mo., anil they will
give you prompt and courteous attention.

Money ! Make It Yourself !
I have never seen anything in the papers
about the People’s Wind Mill ; we calf it the
“People's” because the Inventor never patent
ed It, Dllt let everybody use It free. Any farmer
can make a mtlf himself, a nd all the material
complete will not cost over $10. It is a splendid
mill, will pump the deepest wells, and will last
longer than any mill I ever had. Any person
ran get diagrams mud complete directions free
as 1 did, by sending 18 two-cent stamps to nay
postage, etc., to Francis Casey, 8t. lands. Mo.
lie sells pumps also, and when you get your wind
mill going would l»e glad to sell you a pump If
you need It. It Is certainly useless to pay $5o
or $6o for a wind mill when you ran make one
just as good for $10. I think there could lie big
money made putting these mills up through the
country as everylKMly would like them.

Marry This Cilrl yulek.
1 saw In your paper that a 13-year-old hoy
made $1.25 the first hour he worked selling the
Perfection Metal Tip laiinpwtck. I ordered a
sample and went to work, and the first week I
cleared $10; the second week I cleared $15. 1
expert to run up to $25 a week In the near fu
ture. as the Perfection Metal Tip I amp wick
makes such a beautiful white light and does
away with smokey chimneys and bad odor, and
saves oil. It is easy to sell. If you wish to try
it send 13 two-cent stamps to Miss A. M. Fritz.
Station A, St. Louis, Mo., and she will send you
sa-nple outfit. This Is a good wav to make
money around home. 13w Miss Tima W.
Make Your Own Lantern.
Your home is Incomplete without if, and the
price-Is within reach id all. I ordered one for
my own use—and it was so handy and conven
ient I went to taking orders for them and sold
51 in one day, making over $5 clear. It gives a
beautiful white light, chimneys never break from
heat; it is always clean and ready. Francis
Casey, St. Louis, Mo., will send sample for 13
two-cent stamps. Write for one. I got my start
from him. 13w Georgia B.
How the Dipper Saved the Farm.
Father was sick and the mortgage on the farm
was coming due. I saw in the Christian Advo
cate where Miss A. M. Fritz, of Station A, St.
Louis, Mo., would send a sample combination
dipper for 18 two-cent stamps, and 1 ordered
oue. 1 saw the dipper could be used as a fruit
jar filler, a plain dipper, a fine strainer, a fun
nel. a strainer funnel, a sick-room warming-pan
anil a pint measure. These eight different uses
makes the dipper such a necessary article that
I went to worn with it, and it sells at very near
every house, and in four months I paid off the
mortgage. I think I can clear as much as $200
a month. If you need work you can do well by
giving this a trial. Miss A. M. Fritz, Station A,
St. Louis, Mo., will send you a sample for is two
cent stamps. Write at once. I3w John (J. N.
The New Hook Spoon Free to All.
I I read in the Christian Standard that Miss A.
M. Fritz. Station A, St. lands, Mo., would give
an elegant plated hook spoon to any oue send
ing her ten 2-cent stamps. I sent for one and
found it so useful that 1 showed It to my friends
and made $13 in two hours, Liking orders for the
spoon.. The hook s|>oon Is a household neces
sity. It cannot slip into the dish or cooking ves
sel*. being held In the place by a hook on the
back. The spoon is something that housekeci>
ers have needed ever since sjioons were first in
vented. Any one can get a sample spoon by
sending ten two-cent stamps to Miss Fritz. This
Isa splendid way to make money around home.

man will find him a loyal and faithful
assistant.
Mrs. Dr. McNair, accompanied by
Misses Josie Henckand Pauline Watts,
went to Hogue Chittolast Friday, bear
ing with them a large box of things
needful forthose left destitute by the

says, and was rejoiced to meet so many
old friends. His empty sleeve elo
quently proclaims his patriotism ; he
having been a member of the 18tli Mis
sissippi Regiment during the civil war,
and lost his arm in the heroic and
memorable charge of Barksdale’s
Brigade at Gettysburg. Dr. Toombs is
an uncle of Rev. W. F. Yarborough,
former pastor of the Baptist church at
this place.
A Bold Tramp.
Quit© a sensation was created at
West End yesterday morning about i)
o’clock, when a tramp, bold and free,
entered the residence by the back door
entrance of Mr. John McGrath, and
when discovered was helping himself
to several nice articles of clothing,
which were hanging in the back hall.
The cook made the discovery and gave
a telling alarm, when Mr. McGrath,
who was sitting in a room adjoining
with his wife, forgetting his three
score and ten, quickly collared the
aforesaid tramp and gave him what Ba
laam gave his ass, although he made
a show of tight. Then “arming” him,
he marched the ill-featured fellow up
town, where was soon arraigned before
Muyor Daughtry and given a jail sen
tence of 5 days.
The lesson to all, in this in
cident is apparent—keep your doors
locked and sleep with one eye open.
Norfielil Notes.
The bad weather continues. The
Bogue Chitto river has been very high.
Moak’s C’reek Church had a good
day Sunday, the 11th. Elder W. ft.
Johnson being present and preaching.
The people are gettiug a bad start

victims have been J. B. Price and lit
tle daughter Bessie, S. J. Beeves,
Zacliariah Reeves, Emanuel Herring
and family.
A sad accident occurred last week on
Wednesday. Mrs.Dock Burns sent her
son, 13 years of age, on an errand
across Myers creek. About two hours
passed away and he did not return,
when bis sister went in search of him
and found him in the creek dead. The
horse on which he was riding being
blind in one eye, the supposition is
that from fright the horse fell from
the bridge on the blind side, with the
boy, and he was drowned. Eld. J. L.
Price was summoned to attend the fu
neral, one of the saddest ones of his
life.
IIK4TH OR OPERATOR ADIJISO!*.

PiiWKImxI In The leader by reqnestj
Killed while at his post of duty,
Stubbed by an assassins knife,
Stabbed in the honr of darkness,
Stacbed with no chance of life.
Killed without any warning,
Killed, though he struggled in vain,
In defense of the women and children
Who were waiting the midnight train.
Killed, though his thoughts were of
duty,
For there were trains soon to arrive;
There must be some one at the office
Or else a great risk of lives.
Killed and a doctor was sent for,
But this was uot to be done
Till an operator was sent for,
And she to the office had come.
Killed by his lawless prisoners,
For they snatched from him his gun,
And dragged him out on the railroad,
Where the murderous deed was doue.
Killed, yet he had no assistance;
Killed, Hiid the cowards were gone.
For the witnesses there could uot help
him.
Hut only stand olf aud look on.
Killed and snatched from among us,
Snatched by the cruel gravo,
Through Death's dark shadowed val
ley,
O'er Death's dark cruel wave.
Killed, yet the scene will forever
(Which broke a bright Christmas joy)
Live with the great throng of mourn
ers,
For Wesson’s brave telegraph boy.
SHF I.KFT IIKK IIAIIY,
Woman From New Orleans Creates A
Seinmtioii.
When the fast mail left New Orleam
at 7:15 last night a handsome younp
woman was oue of the passengers. Shi
carried several bundles, as do most
other women coming out of Now Or
leans, aud this fact created no sort o
comment. Finding a seat about thi
middle of the coach the woman rnadi
herself as comfortable as possible, de
positing her largest bundle under thi
seat in front of her, huddled up in thi
corner, aud to all appearances was i
simple everyday kind of a passenger
a lady who had spent the day shop
ping iu the city, and now eu routi
home.
Arrived at Kentwood, La., the wo
man grabbed up her bundles and lef
the car—that is, she took some of he:
bundles, aud nothing more was though
of her till the train was well unde:
W'ay. Ten miles this side of Kentwooc
a noise was heard on the car. A sourn
that was perfectly familiar to ever;
one on board, the wail of an infant
No one knew there was a baby 01
board, but investigation proved then
was, and that it was iu the bundle thi
woman had left uuder the seat. Thi
excitement aud confusion was great
but willing hands soon had the young
ster unwrapped and everybody on tin
coach took a look and expressed theii
opinion of any woman who would thui
desert a three-weeks old child.
After the discovery of the baby th<
passengers remembered that the wo
man had not shown her face to any ol
them, and iu fact it was the genera
opinion she was iu disguise.
The conductor took charge of tin
baby and leaving it with the depoi
agent at Osyka telegraphed particu
lars to Kentwood so that the womai
could be located.
The woman was found, the baby wa:
returned to her and she was made t<
keep it. Conductor Dunbar’s friends
guyed him no little about the baby
and when Conductor Betts, who was
on the south-bound train restored the
infant to its mother, he headed Dun
bar olf at Canton with a telegram lik(
this :
“Charlie—Your baby safe in tin
arms of its mother.”— Clarion Ledger
Feb. loth.
In a business lettor to the editoi
Hon. J. H. McGehee of Franklin coun
ty says : “The la grippe is a geuera
epidemic iu this county. Myself auc
family have all been down sick. Ther«
is some one sick at every house. Nearlj
every negro in this community i
down with la grippe. We have hac
over twenty deaths among them in
this county that 1 know of. Oue diec
on my place Sunday and about iiv<
more are sick.”
Li' \n
Don’t imagine for a minute that fine
dresses and accomplishments will deceive
anybody. “Murder will out”—everybody
knows that. Ralph Waldo Emerson said
this in another way. He said practically
that you couldn’t hide anything you did.
He said that what people do, and what they
think, and what they eat show in their faces.
The body is a plastic record. It shows
plainly what is being done to it and with it.
It tells the condition of the digestive or
gans. It plainly blabs about constipation.
Foul breath, dull eyes, listlessness, sallow
ness, pimples are almost unmistakable
symptoms. Don’t believe that you are the
only one that knows your condition. Con
stipation is a serious matter. There is no
form of sickness it may not lead to. It fills
the body with impurities. It makes it ready
for the reception of any sort of disease
germs. It is easy to let it run on into some
thing serious. _ It is easier to cure it. There
is a safe, certain, comfortable cure for such
constipation. This cure conies in little vials.
Its name is Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
The “Pellets” are tiny, sugar-coated gran
ules. One is a gentle laxative ; two a mild
cathartic. They cure constipation In a per
fectly natural way. You do not become a
slave to their use. There are hundreds of
§ reparations offered for this same purpose,
ut none so certain, and none so safe. The
trouble with most of them is that they are
violent; and in curing one disorder, start
others. Dyspepsia may come just as quickly
from taking strong medicines, as from tak
ing no medicine at all. Sometimes the rem
edy is worse than the disease. There is no
other preparation similar to Dr. Pierce’s
