We are pleased to see the
many complimentary notices of
Superintendent Whitfield all over
the State by the press. If the
people all over the State knew him as
well as we at Steen's Creek, there would
be but one sentiment, and that would
be to retain him in office. It is said
that poets are not made, but born: we
believe that school teachers are born
also, and Henry Whitfield was one of
them. Steens Creek Times.
Two hearts can make a love affair, but it
takes three, at least, to make a home, and
one of them must be that of a baby. The
young married couples that start out in life
with the idea that children are nuisances,
and that they do not want and will not
have them, are the kind that you read
about every day in the newspapers—in the
divorce column. A home without children
is not a home. God and Nature never in
tended that there should be a place called
home that did not resound with the patter
of childish footsteps.
There are tens of thousands of homes
that are childless because of the ill-health
of the wife and would-be mother. There
an tens of thousands of other homes child
less because the little ones have died al
most as soon as they were born. In both
cases Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
a sovereign remedy. It acts directly on
the delicate and important organs that
make wifehood and motherhood possible.
It makes them well, strong, vigorous, virile,
and elastic. It does away with the dangers
of maternity. It banishes the usual dis
comforts of the expectant period and
baby’s advent easy and almost pain
less. It insures the little new comer's
health and an ample supply of nourish
ment The prospective mother prepares
herself for maternity by taking the Fa
vorite Prescription ” and gives her child a
Air start in fife by giving it a strong and
well developed body. Thousands of homes
that were childless, to-day echo with
babies' laughter, and bless this great medi
ciawh Thousands of women who were
wear; nervous, despondent invalids, are
lo-day happy, healthy wives and mothers

You never heard a sick man tell his
doctor that he was too sick to take medi
cine- to wait until he gets better, and
then he will take it. But you often hear
the business man say it is too dull to ad
vertise, and promise to advertise as
soon as business gets better. Same
thing exactly.—AVir Oi-leanx Picayune.

yuite h novel marriage ceremony
whs performed at the Mcadville Par
sonage on Saturday evening last, which
united in the holy bonds of wedlock
Miss Maggie Newman, of Veto,and Dr.
Landy McMillan, of Kenuolia. Miss
Maggie was visiting Mrs. R. S. Butler
on Saturday last and just a little after
twilight the Doctor drove up to the
residence in his buggy and asked for
Miss Maggie, who, without ceremony,
after having hinted to the members of
the household to follow, stepped into
the buggy and was driven straight to
the Parsonage gate, where they baited
and notified Rev. Mr. Sibley, in whose
hands was placed a written documeu t
which caused the good man to open
wide his eyes.
Mr. Sibley quickly took in the situa
tion and securing a lamp walked to the
gate and as the handsome young
couple sat iu the buggy, told them to
join right hands and take upon them
selves the solemn obligation necessary
to make them man and wife: which
they did us though it had been pre
meditated for months past. Then
asking that the blessings of Heaven
might follow them through life he
hade them go their way rejoicing. The
parents of the young couple were in
total ignorance of their intentions to
marry, and were doubtless surprised
on their return home to learn that
they had started out on life’s road to
gether, for better or for worse. With
the best wishes of their host of friends
here they left Sunday morni ng for
their home. Franklin Advocate.

rifth SumUjt Meeting.
The fifth Sunday meeting of the
Fair River Association, which con
vened with the Dam ascii* Baptist
church, Franklin county, on last Sat
urday and Sunday was well attended,
especially on the second day. The
sermon on Sunday at 11 o'clock was
pyached by Rev. R. J. Boone to a
large congregation. The next meet
ing will be held with the Arlington
Baptist church, Lincoln county, the
•rAh Sunday in July. The following de
served tribute to Rev. E. P. Douglass
was adopted by the meeting on Sun
day:
Your committee, with the rest of you,
miss the usual helpful presence of
Bro. E. P. Douglass. He is at his
home sick, and has been for some
months an intense sufferer, but, as we
know, he bears his affliction with the
patience of Christian consecratlomonly
waiting for the Master to say, “Come
up higher.”
We know of no one truer or more
faithful to the cause of Christ than
our dear Bro. Douglass. As brave as a
lion and harmless as a dove, his un
compromising loyalty to righteousness,
causes him to be admired by all who
know him. Churches, neighborhoods,
families and individuals are intensely
anxious about him, and one expressing
their sympathies for him, and with
them we unite in prayer to Him who is
too wise to make any mistake, too good
to do wrong, to spare the life of our
dear brother and allow us to enjoy his
usefulness, if it be His holy will; If not,
give us all grace to be submissive.
May the God of all grace abundantly
bless Bro. Douglass and his family and
cause all of us to fully realize “that all
things work together for good to them
that love God."
Respectfully submitted,
R. J. BOONE,
J. Q. BYRD.
Whooping Cough.
I had a little boy who was nearly dead
from an attack of whooping cough.
My neighbors recommended Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. I did not think
that any medicine would help him, but
after giving him a few doses of that
remedy I noticed an improvement, and
one bottle cured him entirely. It is
the best cough medicine I ever had in
the house.—J. L. Moore, South Burget

We today announce Capt. R. S.
Butler as a candidate for Representa
tive from the flotorial district com
posed of the counties of Franklin and
Lincoln. Capt. Butler needs little in
troduction to the people of Lincoln.
For 12 years he served as the sheriff
of our sister county. Four years ago
he was still further honored by being
elected by his people as their Repre
sentative in the Legislature. Last
year he raised a company, mainly of
Franklin and Lincoln men, of which he
was elected Captain, and enlisted in
the Third Mississippi Volunteers in
the war against Spain, returning when
his regiment was mustered out a sbor*
time ago. It is needless to say a man
with such a publio record has much to
commend him to the favorable consid
eration of the voters of Lincoln at this
time.
Commencement time will soon be at
hand and it behooves every citizen to
make our city as attractive as possi
able, as far as in him lies. Paint and
whitewash go a long way toward hiding
imperfections or beautifying an al
ready neat property. Try it.
Skin Diseases.
For the speedy and permanent cure of
tetter, salt rheum and eczema, Cham
berlain’s Eye and Skin Ointment is
without an equal. It relieves the itch
jng and smarting almost instantly and
its continued use effects a permanent
cure. It also cures itch, barber's itch,
scald head, sore nipples, itching piles,
chapped hands, chronic sore eyes and
granulated lids.

A H ike and Venerable Doctor Talks about Advanced Science.
i hotel, in a great city, a famous and aged physician was convert*
Ing. Listening to his wise and sententious discourse, were a group of we
dressed men, evidently lawyers, business men and commercial travelers.
My finn belief, is “ that medical science is certain yet to show that all d
eases without exception are caused by invisible germs which are living orS?fe
isms. Here is the germ of that terrible disease diphtheria. Here is the bacil
of typhoid fever; and here is the still more dreadful bacillus of tubercle wUicn
causes that most destructive of all diseases, consumption. This of that very
common and supposed incurable disease, catarrh.” . „t
I wish. Doctor,” said the traveling man, “that you would tell us aoo
catarrh* I have had it for years, and I am thoroughly discouraged.”
♦ Doctor answered. “Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typ
fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invadiDg the bi
and attacking specially the mucous membrane. This foul and most disgust^
disease is especially prevalent in the United States and it is rare to meet on
who w not, or has not been troubled more or less with it. How often is be or
she obliged to remain at home from pleasant entertainments, deprive themse
of many intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising f£°®
tarrhal affections. In its worst phase, the patient becomes loathsome botn
himself and his friends.
