WOMEN’S WOES.
Starkville Women Are Find
ing Belief at Last.
It does "seem that women have have
more than a fair share of the aches and
pains that afflict humanity; they must
“keep out,”must attend to duties in
spite oi constantly aching backs, or
dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they
must stoop over, when to stoop means
torture. They must walk and bend and
work with racking pains and many
aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause
more suffering than any other organ o
the body. Keep the kidneys well and
health is easily maintained. Read of a
remedy for kidneys only that helps and
cures the kidneys.
Mrs. 8. E. Tidwell, 15 Stonewall Street,
West Point, Miss., says: ’‘Doan’s Kidney
Pills have made me a well woman and 1
think It no more than my duty to pass
the good news along to my neighbors and
friends. 1 conW not sleep well at night, and
during damp weather, or if 1 caught cold,
my back panted me intensely. My strength
and energy left me, and though I tried ev
ery remedy I heard of, I found no relief. A
friend who had been cured by Doan’s
Kidney Pills advised me to try them and
after using them for two months I was
restored to good health.”
Plenty more proof like this from
Starkville people. Call at J. J. Gill’s
drug store and ask what customers re
port.

Nervous
Break-Down
Nerve energy is the
force that controls the or
gans of respiration, cir
culation, digestion and
elimination. When yon
feel weak, nervous, irri
table, sick, it is often be
cause you lack nerve
energy, and the process
of rebuilding and sustain
ing life is interfered with.
Dr. Miles* Nervine has
cured thousands of such
cases, and will we believe
benefit if not entirely
cure you. Try it.
••My nervous system gave away
completely, and left me on the verge
of the grave. I tried skilled physi
cians but got no permanent relief.
I got so bad I had to five up bw
business. 1 began taking Dr. Mika*
Restorative Nervine. * Tn a few days
I was much better, and I continued
te improve until entirely cured. 1
Oi in business again, and never miss
an opportunity to recommend thlc
remedy.” MBS. W. L. BURKE,
Myrtle Creek, Oregon.

We were pleased with a call
from Mr. P. B. Harpole and his
two sons, Messrs. Dan and Wal
ter Harpole, of Maben, yesterday.
Mr. Harpole was a citizen, for
most of his life, of the County,
but now just over the line;
though Mr. Dan Harpole lives on
the home place in this county.
Col. and Mrs, Simon Fried re
turned home Tuesday from Sel
ina, Ala., where they most pleas
antly visited their daughter, Mrs.
Morris Meyers. Some how, like
others, we feel more secure when
the Col. is close by and .glad to
see his return.

of the Board of Supervisors, was

WELL OBSERVED
ADDRESS BY R. M. BEATTIE
ALL MEMPHIS CONFEDERATE 80-
CIBTIBB REPRESENTED.
.i
Old Veterans, Sons of Veterans and
Daughters of Confederacy Attend
Meeting in Uniform.
Splendid Program Rendered.
Court avenue Presbyterian
Church was well filled last night
hy members from the different
Confederate societies in Mem
phis, who, with their friends,
observed the 102d birthday of
Gen. R Lee.
The veterans and daughters of
the Confederacy and sons of vet
erans were dressed In regulation
uniforms, and the songs render
ed by the Daughters of the Con
federacy choir were exceptional?
Ij well received.
Gen. Lee’s favorite hymn,
“How Firm a Foundation,” sung
by the choir and Confederate
veterans, touched the hearts of
the old soldiers deeply. “The
Vacant Chair.” by Mrs. John
Cathay, was well rendered.
This was followed by an invoca
tion by Rey. Hugh Spencer Wil
liams, who spoke feelingly to
those who fought through the
war for what they believed their
rights,
“Massa’s In the Cold, Cold
Ground,” by the • Daughters of
the Confederacy choir, was fol
lowed by a duet, “Just before
the Battle, Mother,” sung by
Misses Mildred Smith and Im
ogene Shephard. The whole
audience joined in singing
‘•America.”
The principal feature of the
meeting was the memorial ad
dress delivered by Robert M.
Beattie. Mr. Beattie said in
part:
4 Tn describing the social at-
mosphere in which Robert E.
JLee was born, Philip Alexander
Bruce, in his 'American Crisis
Biograhies,’ says: ‘lt was a care*
less, happy and bountiful -life.
Nor was it without its serious
side, as shown by the sensitive*
to all matters of personal honor,
by the deep reverence for reli
gion, by the respect for woman
hood, and by the exalted esteem
in which high political seryice
was held. No alien people were
pouring into those plantation
communities to modify the ipor
al standards, habits and customs
of the inhabitants by their for-
eign training; no newly enriched
were starting up to pervert, by
a lavish and vulgar use of wealth,
tastes that had been refined by
the inherited social culture of
generations. . . . About the
hearthstones of those old planta
tions, the old-fashioned virtues
of manliness, courage, -truth,
honor, kindness and tendernesss
flourished as luxuriantly as _the
old-fashioned flowers, whose or
iginal seed perhaps had been
brought from soioe manor house
in Surrey or Essex. Norfolk or
Devonshire, bloomed on the ter
races of the gardens outside.’ ”
Mr. Beattie talked at consider
able length concerning the birth
of Gen. Lee, describing excep
tionally well the atmosphere in
which he was born and tracing
his ancestry back tolancelot Leie,
who. with William the Conquer
or, landed his army on the shores
of England.
He told of the crucial test in
Gen. Lee's life, when secession
was fighting for settlement of
the inward conflict of forces*
but he realized he was a South
eta man and, win or lose, he
knew it was his duty to cast bis
lot With the seceding states.
“Bte was actuated by the prin
ciples imbibed at the feet of moth
erhood,” said Mr. Beattie, and
to these be duns: tenaciously,
lovingly, tenderly, throughout
the days and months and years
of his staintless life.”
Mr. Beattie ended his splendid
address by saying:
“The late lamented Stephen
I). Lee, Who, in figure and sol
dierly bearing and in lofty cour
age and patriotism, and in noble
Christian character, was most
nearly his counterpart, in de
scribing the Southern soldier,
not only unwrittingly reflected
his own character, but epitomiz
ed the character of Robert E.
Lee when he said: ‘Duty laid her
kiss upon his brow and love of
country folded him in her arms.
jHe,enriched the world in honor.
He added to the spiritual riches
of mankind. The memory of
his deeds is the treasure of his
people, incorruptible, undefiled,
and that fadeth not away/ ”
Commercial Appeal.
We are proud of Capt. R. M.
Beattie, an old Starkvilie boy,
born and reared here. The
Memphis News Scimitar and
other Memphis papers eulogise
Capt. Beattie very highly and
meritoriously too.
A Pathetic Statement,
The killing of Dr. A. B. Pitts
by Dr T. B. Birdsong at Hazie
hurst a few weeks ago: the plea
of guilty by the defendant and
his sentence to the State penit-
entry for life; his entering upon
his life of servitude, are all
known to the readers of news-
papers. This wanton murder
was the result of drink, and its
result should be a warning to
every one, as far as Dr. Birdsong
now suffers because of yielding
to the desire for drink, so are
others who follow in his foot
steps liable to suffer the same
end that has over taken him.
Just before being taken from his
home to begin his life sentence,
Dr. Birdsong issued this pathe
tic appeal:
“To My Friends and Patrons:
I cannot express my gratitude
for all your past kindnesses and
Christian forbearance during
these many years of my practice
of dentistry in this community.
It would be useless to undertake
it, but I want you to know it, so
I write this, requesting the fur
ther draft on you, viz: that you
do not throw me out of your
hearts and memories entirely,
and show it by helping just a
little to smooth the road 1 have
so wantonly left to my long suf
fering wife and the tender feet
of so many little ones. May
God doubly bless the thoughtful
one who suppresses the idle jest
at their condition brought on by
no deed of theirs. They are all
honest, noble, trustworthy and
unusually capable. Goodbye.
Respectfully.
Tnois. B. Birdsong.

Because he heard that a Police
Officer had given a darkey twen
tyfive cents to see if he could
purchase whiskey in the city of
Natchez* a jurominent gentleman
waxed warm and declared that
if he learned the officer’s name
he would do everything in his
power to have the said officer re
moved from the force.
This is a rather peculiar view
to take of the matter, especially
when one stops to consider that*

Malting More Money Out of
Cotton Crops
Is merely a question of using enough of the right
kind of fertilizers.
Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers
are the right kind.
The cotton plant cannot feed on barren land. Study
your soiL Find out what it lacks. Then apply the
necessary fertilization and the results will surprise you.
See what Mr. W. C. Hays of Smith Station, Ala., did. He says;
“I planted about 30 acres of some 'gray sandy land* that had been in
cultivation lor over 20 years, and used 300 pounds of Virginia-Caro
lina Fertilizers per acre, and I expect to gather 30 bales from,
the 50 acre*/' Thia is why we say it is the right kind. We have
hundreds of letters like this, and even stronger, in praise of Virginia-
Carolina Fertilizer for cotton.

the prohibition law and break
up blind tigers wherever found.
There’s hardly a blind tiger
operator, or to be more polite,
whiskey seller in a prohibition
town who would be fool enough
to sell liquor to a man wearing
the uniform and badge of a city
police, and consequently there
is only one way n which to reach
this character of offenders and
that is by decoys.
It matters not whether an in
dividual stood for prohibition or
the open saloon, the fact remains
that prohibition is now a law
and aft good citizens must lend
a hand in its enforcement.
If prohibition is a good thing
for the community then let the
city get the full benefit by a rig
id enforcement of the law.
If on the other hand it is de
trimental to the best interests of
the city, then let the law be en
forced in order that the harm or
damage may be assertained as
scon as possible.
In any event do not be so ab
sorb as to talk of robbing a man
of his position simply because
he has the manhood and honesty
to perform the duties of his of
fice in accordance with the oati j
which he has taken.—Natchez
