Better Than Spanking!
Spanking will not cure children of
wetting the bed, because it is not a
habit, but a dangerous disease. The

remedy for this distressing disease
and to make known its merits they
will send a 50c package to any read

and inability to control urine during
the night or day in old or young.

J. W. Prather reports a fine Sun
day School , convention at ' Morris
Chapel Sunday. We had intended to
accompany Mr. Prather, but a case of
sudden illness prevented. The next
convention for the 4th district will
be at Crumps Landing.
Dr. and Mrs. Wickwire attended
the trial of Jim Bolin before Esq.

be relied on when it comes to enforc
ing the tick law, and he has the
hearty support of all who are not
kickers on the law.
G. D. Maness slipped a "plunk" in
our hand on the street Monday. We
knew what it was 'for, and in enter
ing credit, found he has the best
record on our books; a first issue
subscriber with a year in advance. It
is a pleasure to have such subscrib
ers. .
The protracted meeting this week
at the Baptist church, conducted by
Rev. J. H. Turner, of Corinth, began
Sunday and will continue indefinitely.
Good congregations at nicht
and able sermons characterize the
sei vices. But little outward interest
is so far manifested, but much good
is expected.
The play of "Birds Island" by home
talent last Thursday night at College
Hall was a pronounced success. The
merit of theplay was rewarded by
a large . and appreciative audience.
The play was put on the boards at
Adamsville Tuesday night by ,. the
same company. The play is quite
catchy and all the actors did their
parts in good style.
The honor conferred on L. S. Per
kins in being selected as one of the
members of the National Advisory
Council 'of the World's Permanent
Exposition at Washington, D. C,
shows the estimation in which he is
held by the nation's greatest minds
in promoting this the greatest and
permanent exposition of the world.
McNairy county may feel proud of
this distinction coming to one of her
sons. . ,
R. E. McKinney stopped to spend
a day at Sslmer on his, way from
Memphis' to Henderson Saturday.
He was accompanied by his daugh
ter, Miss Jennie May. As the friends
of Mr. McKinney know, he par
alyzed on his entire right side, and
his mind is affected to that extent
He cannot call the name of anyone,
yet knows them and can in some
respects speak intelligently It
is a most sad and unusual case,
which can bat bring sorrow to bis
many friedu3.

This (Wednesday) morning the

indication of a great blessing is
comine to this whole legion. So
mote it be While at Corinth
last Friday we had the pleasure
of visitingGish's big store , and
seeing what he is doing in his
great July Clearance Sale. He
is getting big results in large
sales at the cut prices, which are
a reality. Send for what you

Mississippi penitentiary seems to
be reeking with graft, and in

It seems there is some hitch in
the confirmation of Mrs. Perkins

asked it to be held up. The inner
circle knows the kitten in
the stove wood....
Sweat's barbecue on the 4th was
largely attended and the best of

Second will be the big occasion

a few hundred new subscribers
but have no premiums to give,
but offer the subscriber the worth
of his money in a clean, live,

the interest of our people, re
gardless of politics or outside in

can keep abreast of the times
and not read and pay for his
county paper.. The financial
report of the county Monday
shows that an indebtedness of
several thousand dollars must be
met by the present year's taxes.

"TheUFEofa wagon is what counts
that's why I buy a Studebaker"
i matter
'.'That's reasonable, isn't it?"
"A wagon that doesn't last is expensive no
what price you pay for it
"Suppose you buy three wagons, one after the
other, and the three of them don't last as long as one
Studebaker which is the best bargain?"
" didn't find tliia out myelf. I heard my grandfather ay it -
good many year. ago. He (aid he had proved that it paid to buy
Studebaker. 1 followed hi. advice to my own satisfaction.'
"A wagon can't have life in it unles it ha. tho material and
work and finish in it. The Studebaker peoplo have been making
vehicle, for .ixty yeai They ought to know how to make wagon,
right and they do. They have the reputation because they've
produced the good. They don't put the name Studebaker on
until the wagon', right, and when you M the name Studebaker
on a vehicle of any kind it i your inaurance of quality."
"That, why I buy a Studebaker. I trurt a Studebaker wagon
because I trust the people that make them. it', good busineaa.
"A Studebaker promise i. alway. made good."
