Caution!
This is a gentle word—but when yoi
think how liable you are not to pur
chase lor 75c the onlv remedy universal
ly known and a remedy that has hac
the largest sale of any medicine in tht
world aince 1868 for the cure and treat
ment of Consumption and Throat anc
Lung tronbles without losing its greal
popularity all these years, you will bt
thankful we called your attention tc
Boschee’s German Syrup. There are sc
many ordinary cough remedies made
by druggists and others that are cheat
and good for light colds perhaps, but
for severe Coughs, Bronchitis, Croup,
and especially for Consumption, when
there is difficult expectoration anc
, coughing during the nights and morn
, ings there is nothing like German Syrup
\ Sold by all druggists in the (jivilisec
world.—G. W. Green, Woodburiy, N. J
Bank of Tupelo Statement.
Elsewhere will he found the statement
of the Hank of Tupelo nt. the close of
business on tlie last day of t he year.
With a capital of #53.000 and de
posits ranging from #225.000 to #2(50,
000 the management have nnnonnced
net earnings of #17.185,11 from the
previous years business. This is a
phenominal showing, being an earning
of a 34 per cent dividend within the
twelve months. This result of the
years business is most gratifying to
the officers and stockholders and
spe iks in the highest terms of the man
agement and also serves as an index to
the Jgrowth of Tupelo as a hanking
and business center.
Club Reception.
The annual reception of the “As You
Like It” Club was giyen on the evening
of December the 30 a t the elegant home
of Miss Pledge. The home, with its
beautiful furnishings, was elaborately
decorated with the usual Christmas
holly wreathes and mistletoe; also palms
potted plants and cut flowers were
used in rich profusion. Miss Pledge, as
sisted by her sister, Mrs. Armstrong, and
several of the club girls, received the
guests in a charming manner. The
color scheme of green and red was car
ried out with beautiful effect. The
scorecard had a holly design being
used for a progressive game of dominoes
Miss McLean won the first prise and
E. W. Armstrong the gentleman,s prise.
At a late hour the refreshments in
several courses were served.
COAL FOR CASH
CASH FOR COAL
In order to save 'time, ex
pense and money I am sell

Coal Agent.
Cotton Mill Without Coal.
Since Saturday morning the
Tupelo Cotton Mill has been clos
ed down on account of the failure
of the Frisco road to deliver coal
that had been consigned to the
mill by the Alabama mines. We
understand that the mill received
invoices of the coal from the
mines and afterwards a credit slip
was fbrwarded with a memoran
dum stating that the railroad
company had converted the coal
to its own use. The reason as
signed by the railroad for con
fiscating coal consigned to other
parties is a failure to secure for
transportation purposes sufficient
coal to run their trains. Tfe
understand that it is claimed by
the road that a provision of their
charter or contracts, stipulates
that coal can thus be taken in
order to handle the mails under
their contract with the govern
ment. we are not advised as to
this. For several weeks we learn
that the compress and electric
light plant have had several orders
that were not delivered after they
had received invoices. The fail
ure to secure coal entails quite a
loss to the mill and serves to de
moralize the labor. The bauds
are all entirely dependent upou
their weekly wages for support
aud they are also without coal.
