ATTRACTION TO-NIGHT.
Polk Miller, the Great Delineator of the
Southern Negro, at Opera House.
Polk Miller, Oscar Sission, and Es
ter Wallace will this season sweep the
territory they tour by storm with
their clever entertainment of comedy
opera and character sketches.
Polk Miller is without a peer as an
accurate delineator of the southern
negro. Mr. Miller was born and bred
in the south, and he understands the
negro as the negro really is. He does
not present him to the public as a
ball of putty that can be moulded to
fit the shortcomings of the actor, but
he gives the negro with all his subtle
and peculiar wit brought out in a nat
ural dialect. Mr. Miller sings the old
plantation songs and picks jigs upon
the banjo that made revelry in the
days before the war,
Mr, Sisson is a finished comedian,
the master of a pungent vein of Hu
mor that he does not adulterate with
boisterous jokes and rough falls, but
makes bis audience laugh loud and
long at every line of the amusing com
edies that be presents with the aid of
Miss Wallace.
Dainty, graceful and merry is Miss
Ester Wallace. She is one of the most
charming additions to the comedy
stage and in time to the operatic, for
she has a splendid mezzo-soprano
voice that is sweet and clear and at
her command. Miss Wallace is young
in years, but her developed knowledge
of how to entertain her audience, and
do it without a conscious action, makes
her more of a favorite than older com
ediennes who often grow wearisome
as they play grows longer.

Insure with Goetchius Phone 169
The three-year old boy of J. A. John
son, of Lynn Center, 111., is subject to
attacks of croup. Mr. Johnson says he
is satisfied that the timely use of Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy, during a se
vere attack, saved his little boy’s life.
He is in the drug business, a member of
the firm of Johnson Bros, of that place;
nnd they handle a great many patent
medicines for throat and lung disease’s
He had all these to chose from, and
skilled physicians ready to respond to
his call, but selected this remedy for use
in his own family at a time when his
child’s life was in danger, because he
knew it to be superior to any other, and
famous the country over for its cures of
croup. Mr. Johnson says this is the
best selling cough medicine they handle
and that it gives splendid satisfaction in
all cases. Sold by Curry-Arrington Co.,

IN LOVING [MEMORY OF LITTLE
FRANK.
Saturday evening, after only a few
days illness, Frank, the sweet little boy
of Mr. and Mrs. Will May, passed away.
It was so sad to see the dear little form,
so cold and still, and to know that we
would not hear his joyous, happy laugh
again. He was such a sweet, happy lit
tle darling, none knew him but to love
him, his place can never be filled. To
the heart-broken father and mother
and dear little brother and sisters, we
can only say, do not grieve, your little
darling has only gone before and will
be at the beautiful pearly gates, watch
ing and waiting for you.
Mourn not for the darJihg term
Resting 'neath the daisies,
■While you’re weeping, he is singing
God’s eternal praises.
All the joy that he has missed
In his day of sorrow.
Shall be given, oh' many fold
On that bright tomorrow.
When you took the darling form
In your arms, sweet mother,
When you kissed the rosy lips,
Smiling like no other,
Saw yon not heaven’s tender light,
In the soft eyes beaming?
Heard you not the angel’s whisper,
In your baby’s dreaming?
Mourn not for the little one,
Sow the tender grasses
Bid the south wind kiss the mound
Softly as it passes.
Guard the blossoms, if yon will
From the bleak December;
Yet your baby sleeps not there,
Mother, this remember.
His Little Cousin,
—Willie Maud Dial.

IS IT A TRIFLE ?
THAT COMMON TROUBLE ACID DYS
PEPSIA. OB SOUR STOMACH.
Now Recognized as a Cause of Serious
Disease.
Acid dyspepsia, commonly called heart
burn or sour stomach, is a form of in
digestion resulting from fermentation es
the foed. The stomach being too weak
to promptly digest it, the food remains
■ntil fermentation begins, filling the
stomach with gas, and a bitter, sour,
burning taste in the mouth is often pre
seat. Tuis condition soon becomes
chronic and being an every day occur
rence is given but little attention. Be
cause dyspepsia is not immediately fatal,
many people do nothing for the trouble.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. It is
known as Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and
is now becoming rapidly used and pre
scribed as a radical cure for every form of
dyspepsia.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold by
druggists everywhere at 50 cents per
package. It is prepared by the Stuart
Go., Marshall, Mich., and while it
promptly and effectually restores a vigor
ous digestion, at the same time is per
fectly harmless and will not injure the
most delicate stomach, but on the con
trary by giving perfect digestion
strengthens the stomach, improves the
appetite and makes life worth living.
