S. to overthrow a small city government—mouth frothers and bomb-hiders are not the stuff of which government-overthrowers are made. o It is easily possible that Lloyd George will live to reaize that he blundered in saying the allies could not afford to help Russians get a stable government. i o Though the House railroad bill has no anti strike clause, there are Senators willing to bet real money it will have one when it becomes a law. Lord Fisher, England's champion bean-spiller, says, "No politician regards truth from the same < y point of view as a gentleman." -o President Poincare's visit to London may have a connection with what is going on in the U. S Senate -o Most encouraging—Attorney General Palmer's assurance that there will be no let up in the drive on reds. o From all accounts, the Sultan of Turkey is let ting the other fellows do the worrying about his future. -o There are also a few American D'Annunzio's who think they are bigger than the gov —guys ernment. o Walesey got through the Washington dining all right, and if he missed the wining was too po lite to say so. o If all that's printed be true, New York's bar tenders now make "whiskey" while the thirsty line up and wait. o Right now the secret of shorter strikes is of more importance than the secret of longer life. ***************** jr * <*• C.

Meadorsvllle, Ky.—Mrs. Pearl Pat rick, of this place, writes: "I was very constipated. I had sour stomach and was so uncomfortable. I went to the doctor. He gave me some pills. They weakened me and seemed to tear up my digestion. They would gripe me and afterwards It seemed I was more constipated than before. I heard of Black-Draught and de cided to try it. I found it just what I needed. It was an easy laxative, and not bad to swallow. My digestion soon Improved. I got well of the sour stom ach, my bowels soon seemed normal, no more griping, and I would t&ks a dose now and then, and was In good shape. I cannot say too much for Black Draught for it la the finest laxative one can use.** Thedford's Black-Draught has fox many years been found of great value In the treatment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles. Easy to take, gentle and reliable in its action, leaving nc bad after-effects, it has won the praise of thousands of people who hays used NO-185 It WHAT MAKES A HOME It requires two to make a home. The first honie was made when a woman, cradling in her loving arms a baby, crooned a lullaby. All the tender sentamentiality we throw around a place is the result of the sacred thought that we live with some one else. It is our home. t \ But, by stealth, a thief—bad health—seeks always to creep in and destroy the homes that are happy in the certainty of natural health. The hoirie tryst—the place where we retire and shut the world out. Lovers make a home, just as birds make a nest, and unless a man knows the spell of the divine passion it is hard to see how he can have a home at all, for o; all blessings, no gift equals the gentle, trusting, loving comp anionship of a good woman. Nature has compounded in her own wonderful laboratories a remedy that will give strength to throw off germs, resist desease, cure various ills and so build and tone the system as to shut out the evil that sickness would bring with it. The gift of NATURE is FERRALINE and it. is guaranteed to do all those who sell it claim for it. Try NATURE GUARANTEED, ahd if FERRALINE does not help you the distributors wil refund your money. t / * ? HOME a happy plaea to go ï. _ _ - W; -I.

One of the fights that will be staged at the coming session will be an attempt of the newly elected officers to have the salary laW repealed, or at least amended to better conform to their idea! of what a public official should have. We are ofj the opinion that the newly elected officers were! elected with distinct understanding that they j were to receive a salary for their service and it' was made plain just what that salary was to be,j and if they felt that they could not serve and be : satisfied with the salary offered they should j have kept out of the race—we dont believe one of ; them was forced into it. This matter has been agitated for years and public sentiment demanded at least a trial and we can stand four years of it and almost persuaded that there are men who can be induced to serve for the salary offered if the nominees do not want to qualify.—George County Times. o INTERSTATE AUTO STEALING A VIOLA TION OF THE FEDERAL LAW. Interstate auto stealing is a violation of the federal law. If you steal an automobile now and run it to another state you may be fined $5,000 and go toj prison for five years, either or both. If you buy a car that has been stolen in anoth er state you may suffer the same fate, Interstate thievery of automobiles is now a violation of the federal law. We print this for j the information of automobile thieves and the oth- ! er thieves who buy cars they know are stolen.— Memphis Commercial Appeal o Why make a spread of a million dollars going j up in a Texas oil fire, and ignore the millions go ing up in Texas oil stock? Congressman Voight, of Wis., must have felt quite lonesome in casting the only vote to seat Vic Berger. o There is a percentage of doubt on the bench concerning the constitutionality of the dry law, ; though it hardly amounts to 2.75. j ■O Washington may thank its profiteers for In dianapolis being chosen for national headquart ers of the American Legion. o Scooping in the reds won't be complete until it includes speakers who denounce the government for the scooping. -o Either Europe is in a bad way or all the Am erican correspondents over there are confirmed pessimists. -o Even political bosses are changing—Murphy, of Tammany, has begun to bring libel suits. * RAILROAD SCHEDULES. * Yazoo & Mississippi Valley R- R Arrive 7:40am Clarksdale-Memphis 3:40am £ _ 7:55am : 10:33am Yazoo City-Jackson 8:22am ; 4:10pm Clarksdale-Memphis 10:33am 10:30pm Clarksdale-Memphis 2:25pm 8:30pm Yazoo City-Jackson 4:10pm 2:16pm Grenada _ 8:30pm I Leave ; * 8:10am Grenada .
