The State Democratic Execu tive Committee met in Jackson Monday and issued a call for the meeting of the State Democratic Convention to be held Wednes day, June 15th. With William Jennings Bryan it is rule or ruin. As his rule in the affairs of Democracy has ended, he is now devoting his best endeavors to fomenting dis cord in the ranks qt the party which has houored him so great ly in the past. Brylin is a dem agogue, pure and simple, and his disgruntled utterances should have no yeight. A disordered stomach may cuuse no end of trouble. When the stomach tails to perform its functions the bowels become de ranged, the liver and kidneys congested, causing numerous dis eases, the mogt fatal of which ] are paiuless and therefore the ■ more to be dreaded.

Three Thousand Acres of Truck.Lund near the Town. GTJLFPORTI The coining great port ot the Gulf ot Mexico.' I have a proposition to otter you that cannot be ex celled in any part ot the United States, being sole owrjer ot some of the best speculative property in and adjacent to Gulfport. I have an addition iu particular I wish to develop, called RACE TRACK ADDITION. This truct lies just one mile from the Town. I intend to run a Street Railroad to the Race Track, which will make lots ^near by treble in value within two years. I give a written guarantee with every lot sold that this Railroad will be in operation within two years from date. Backed by a general bond sufficient to build and eqniu me same, i intend placing the first 100 lots on the mar ket at $25.00 and increase $5.00 per lot every 100 lots sold thereafter. There are about 2,400 lots in Race Track Addition. An increase of $5.00 per lot on every 100 lots sold, the last 100 lots most bring $130.00 each. The payments can be as follows: $5.00 cash down and $2.00 per month on each lot, with no interest on delerred payments. Those that get in on the first installments will beyond a doubt make good investments. Two years ago I started Standard Land Company Addition to -Gulfport at $50.00 per lot, many ot which cannot be bought today for $300.00 per lot. These lots are further out, but believe I can make equally as valuable by Street Railroad connection. Get in while you can cheap. Buy a lot for your chil dren; it may be the means ot giving them a good start in life. This is an opportunity you may never get again. For maps and.plate showing location see _SEMPER HERALD OFFICE.
