V. RUSH. COUNTV SuMNINTINOtNT OP EDUCATION We have in this county a corps of public school teachers which is not only well trained and thorough ly progressive, but which is also from the point of experience very satisfactory. There are thirty-one white schools in which are em ployed nineteen teachers of four to seven years' experience; three of nine years' experience; three often years' experience, one of thirteen and another of twenty-eight years' experience. When we get a good teacher ev ery effort should be exerted to keep her even if she costs a little more. The leading nations of the world seemed moved by a common im pulse to examine into the condi tions affecting children. Sociolog ical and political interests have re placed the psychological, which for a while gave purpose to the study of childhood. The problem of the hour is that of the child as bread winner and his relation to public welfare.— U. S. Commissioner of Ed.

Mr. Wilkinson is a Claiborne boy f and his friends here will be glad to know that he is in business in the thriving little delta city. nay be Candidate. The friends of Represenative Al ford of Pike county are urging him to become a candidate for comnais sioneV of agriculture and commerce. Mr. Alford is one of the most popu lar members of the house, as well as one of the strongest, men of that body, and is a practical farmer. Mr. Alford is a «representative of the United States department of agriculture in this state, and has done some excellent work in his part of- the state. His friends be lieve he would make an ideal com missioner of agriculture, because of his knowledge of agricultural con ditions in the state. He is probably one of the best posted men as to soil and climatic conditions in the state, and has accumulated a world of knowledge about farming that would stand him in good stead if he made the race and was elected to office. Mr. Alford is also a graduate of the A. & M. College at Starkville, and has been a successful farmer for severai years.—Jackson News. Brown's Wells Sold. Vicksburg, Miss., March io.—It was announced here to day that a deal bas been concluded by which the Brown's Wells resort, near Hazlehurst, changes hands. The Ridgely interests have been bought out at a consideration of $35,000 by a stock company capitalized at $50,000. The rest, after the cost price is paid, to be expended upon improvements. S. J. Thigpin,now chief clerk of the Hotel Carroll here, has been chosen as general manager of the resort by the new owners, and it is stated that be will take charge at once and put the resort in first class condition. The ten miles of road leading from Hazlehurst will be improved and an automobile line run from the town during the season. Mr. Thigpin .stated that he ex pected to leave for Brown's Wells within the next ten days to take charge of the improvements to be made. Sold Eight Mome-Raitied Mules. One of the most prosperous and successful farmers of Yazoo, is Mr. J. A. Ewing, who lives near Vaughan's. When the Herald says Mr. Ewing lives on his farm, it means it literally, for it is very seldom he ever has to buy anything that his farm will pro duce. Unforunately fof him last year sickness got among his hogs, and so many died that he will not have enough meat to supply his needs this year. Mr. Ewing was ija the ,city Tuesday and stated that he bad within the past ten days sold eight three-year-old home-raised mules. The mules brought him $1,125, or average of $140.62 each. When asked what they cost him to raise the mules, Mr. Ewing said that it was so little he was ashamed to say. These are some of the mules that Mr. Ewing exhibited as coltsat the Fair in October, 1908, when with his brother, Mr. W. H. Ewing, they exhibited several head and a lot of fine tattle. Mr. Ewing does not claim to have the exclusive right' to raise tiiules in Yazoo county, and says that he would be glad to have ev farmer in the county try the experiment. His success is worth following, and what he has done others can.—Yazoo City Herald. ifc-'l r~ i-* an ery How Good News Spreads. "I am 70 years old and travel most of the time," writes B. F.

W* PERSON, Sec, Free If It Fails Your iloney Back if You are not Satisfied with the fledicine We Recommend We are so positive that our reme dy will permanently relieve con stipation, no matter how chronic it may be, that we offer to furnish the medicine at our expense should it fail to produce satisfactory re sults. It is worse than- useless to at tempt to cure constipation with cathartic drugs, Laxatives or cathartics do much harm, They cause a reaction, irritate and weak en the bowels and tend to make constipation more chronic. Besides, their use becomes a habit that is dangerous. Constipation is caused by a weak ness of the nerves and muscles of the large intestine or descending colon. To expect permanent relief you must therefore tone up and strengthen these organs and restore them to healthier activity. The discovery of the active prin cipal of our remedy involved the labor of the world's greatest re search chemists, As an active agent it possesses the valuable qualities of the best known intes tinal tonics as well as being partic ularly pleasant and prompt in its results. We want you to try Rexall Or derlies on our recommendation. They are exceedingly pleasant to take, being eaten like candy and are ideal for children, delicate per sons and old folks, as well as for the robust. They act" directly on the nerves and muscles of the bow els. They apparently have a neu tral action on other associate organs or glands. They do not purge, cause excessive looseness nor ere ate any inconvenience whatever. They may be taken at any time day or night. They will positively relieve chronic or habitual consti pation, if not of surgical variety, and the myriads of associate or dy partment chronic ailmeuts, if taken with regularity for a reasonable length of time. They come in two sizes of packages, 12 tablets, 10 cents; 36 tablets, 25 cents. Sold in Port Gibson only at our store,— "The Rexall Store, Pope Drug Co., Main St. »» Live Hogs Bring $11.

CERTAIN RESULTS Many a Port Gibson Citizen Knows How Sura They Are Nothing uncertain about the work of Doan's Kidney Pills iu Port Qibson. There is plenty of positive proof of this in the testi mony of citizens. Such evidence should convince the most skeptical doubter. Read the following state ment: E. Moser, jeweler, Port Gibson, Miss., says: "Some years ago I began to have trouble from my kid neys. I paid little attention to it at first but finally when backache took a firm hold on me and kept me in constant misery, I was oblig ed to seek relief. It made no dif ference whether I was sitting, standing or lying down, that dull ache in the small of my back was always present. I was also annoy ed by a difficulty with the kidney I tried one medicine, secretions. then another but at the end found myself just as bad off as ever. I was about discouraged when Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention. They were recommend ed so highly by people of this city that I decided to try them and pro cured a box at the Pope Drug Co. Much to my sruprise and gratifica tion, they brought me relief after a few doses and in a comparatively short time, absolutely cured me. I can truthfully say that Doan's Kid ney Pills gave me a new lease on life. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster Milburn Co., Buffalo, NewYork, sole agents for the United States.
