Do Tou Want to Know '. What You
Swallow!
There is a growing sentiment in
this country in favor of medicine of
known .composition. , It is but natural
that one should have some interest in
the composition of that ' which he or
she is expected to swallow, whether it
be food, drink or medicine.
Recognizing this growing disposition
on the part of the public, and satisfied
that the fullest publicity can only add
to the well-earned 'reputation of the
medicines, Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo
N. Y., has "taken time by the fore
lock," as it were, and is publishing
broadcast a list of all the ingredients
entering into his medicines, "Golden
Medical Discovery" the popular liver
invigorator, stomach tonic, blood-purifier
and heart regulator; also of his
''Favorite Prescription" for weak,
over-worked, broken-down, nervous
and invalid women. . . ;
This bold and out-spoken movement
on the part of Dr. Pierce, has by show
ing exactly what his well-known medi
cines are composed of, completely dis
armed all harping critics who have
heretofore unjustly attacked them. A
little pamphlet has been complied,
from the standard medical authorities
of all the several schools of "practice,
showing the strongest endorsements
by the leading medical writers of the
several ingredients which enter into
Dr. Pierce's medicines.' - A copy of
this little book is mailed free to any
one desiring to learn more concerning
the valuable, native, medical plants
which enter into the composition of
Dr. Pierce's medicines. Address Dr.
Pierce as above.
Notice.
I am informed that there is a report
afloat that should I be elected circuit
clerk of this county that I would regis
ter or allow to be registered the
negroes. This I most emphaticly de
ny and the report is without found
ation. I believe in the doctrine that
this is a white man's country and if I
am elected circuit clerk I expect to
keep the good work going on as it is
now strictly a white vote and thereby
uphold the precedent heretofore set by
those before me.

Sensation at Kosciusko.
Following his arrest Monday on a
charge of attempted criminal assault
on Miss Sonnie Pressley, and threats
of summary punishment by relatives of
the young woman. Major George L'
Teat, a prominent lawyer and member
of Gov. Vardaman s staff, left Kosci
usko this morning on the northbound
train.
His immediate departure from Kos
ciusko and Mississippi was demanded
at a mass meeting of 300 leading citi
izens Monday night. Strong resolu
tions warning Major Teat to quit the
country and never return were passed
at the indignation meeting and a copy
was sent to the lawyer. He agreed
to leave on the first train.
Major Teat was considered Jo be
one of the leading members of the
Mississippi bar. He had been pro
minent in state military circles for
years.
Miss Pressley is a" beautiful young
woman who for several years has
been prominent in society circles in
that section of the state. She is an
orphan and lives with her brother-in-law,
Dr. J. H. Love.
Last week Major Teat engaged
Miss Pressley as stenographer in his
law office. Monday passers-by were
startled by cries for help from the at
torney's office. Rushing in, they found
Miss Pressley fainting, with her cloth
es disarranged. Major. Teat stood at
one side.
Sheriff J. D. Black took charge of
Teat and he was later released on
$1,000 bond.
Dr. Love, backed by a number of
friends, started out for Teat after the
latter's release from custody, with the
purpose of dealing out summary ven
gance. Cooler heads pursuaded the
crowd to give up the plan of violence,
which action was counseled by Miss
Pressley, and a mass" meeting was
called.
Miss Pressley is prostrated and un
der the care of physicians.

T. M. Henry for Insurance'
Commissioner.
Hon. T, M. Henry has not only
made the state one of the best Audi
tors it ever had, but we believe we
hazard nothing in saying he would
make, them an equally good Insurance
Commissioner an office in which
every Mississippian is either directly
or indirectly interested. Proceeds of
insurance policies often constitute the
highest class of trust funds and , they
should only be placed in first-class sol
vent companies. The people in this
respect have to depend on their com
missioner to keep out of bad concerns
and this can only be assured when the
state has a Commissioner who under
stands the work and whom the people
can trust. Water Valley Herald.
Everybody nearly knows Tom Henry
as one of the best fellows in the world,
and one of the best officers the state
ever had. Largely thrpugh his efforts
was the money raised to buy the Con
federate Soldiers' Home at Beauvoir.
He has been connected with the board
as secretary ever since its organiza
tion, passing on all applications for
admission, makes monthly trips there
to, and looks specially after health and
happiness of its inmates, now number
ing, nearly one hundred. We have
known Tom Henry .for a good many
years, and know him to be a high
toned, honorable gentleman, whom the
people would make no mistake by
electing. Ellisville New South, t
As state auditor Mr. Henry has for
twenty years been on nonest, capable
officer, and his thousands of friends
throughout Mississippi are glad to see
him announce for the office of Insur
ance Commissioner. If you want an
officer capable in every way vote for
him. ,'V- '

At Dresden, Tenn., Friday Judge J.
E. Jones, sitting as chancellor for Judge
Cooper, granted a divorce to Mrs.
Bettie Hargrove from Walter Hargrove.
They had been married just one year,
but they lived together only a few
months. Immediately after the1 decree
Mrs. Hartrove was married to D. C.
Shackett. They left immediately for
the groom's home at Greenfield.
Learning of the marriage. Judge Jones
sent a'n officer to Greenfield and noti
fied Mr. and Mrs. Shackett to appear
in court to answer to the charge of
contempt -of court, Monday they
both appeared. Mrs. Shackett admit
ted that Mr. Shackett had employed
an attorney for her ; and paid all the
expenses of securing the divorce, and
further, that thev had agreed to be
married as soon as the divorce could !
be obtained. Thereupon Judge Jones
annuled the divorce granted and gave
Mrs. Hargrove a divorce only from
bed and board, which does not permit
remarriage and necessarily annuls her
marriage with Shackett. ' Judge Jones
fined Shackett $25 for contempt of
court,' which was j paid , at once.
The court held that the conduct of
this couple was such that if strikes a
blow at domestic relations, and if per
mitted to stand unrebuked, would re
sult in great evil to .society He said
an example would have to be made to
detei' others from attempts in destroy
ing domestic relations; further, that the
honor and dignity of the court had
been attacked and its proceedings ob
structed in such a manner as to call
for severe measures of rebuke. Sev
eral prominent lawyers went before the
court and pleaded for a modification
of the ruling, but Judge Jones stood
firm.
