were illustrated with election lights.
There was no stove in the room, but

it. I did not have any appetite and
could nos have anything I could
realize. Honestly, when I got home
I was almost an invalid.”

ment. ” When medicines are used
for chronic constipation, the most

should be employed. Their use is
not followed by constipation, as
they leave the bowels in a natural
and healthy condition. For sale by

A Good Thing.
German Syrup is the special pre
scription of Dr. A. Boschee, a cele
brated German pnysiciau, and is ac
knowledged to be one of the most
fortunate discoveries in medicine. It
quickly cures coughs, colds and all
lung troubles of the severest nature, re
moving, as it does, the cause of the af
fection and leaving the parts in a strong
and healthful condition. It Is hot an
experimental medicine, but has stood
the test of years, giving satisfaction in
in every case, which its rapidly in
creasing sale every season confirms.
Two million bottle sold annually. Bos
chee’s German syrup was introduced in
the United States in 1868, and is now

Greeneville Wants a Town Hall
Vindicator.
The committees representing the
Masons, the Odd Fellows and the
Literary Association met in the of
fice of Judge Hinton Monday after
noon to discuss the building of a
to wn hall. Since it seems probable
that money sufficient to build a
brick building is not likely to be
raised it was suggested that we go
to work at onoe to build a two
story wooden structure about
50x80, the lower floor to be
used as a town ball and for library
purposes, the upper one for the two
secret orders. An experienced
workman has stated that he thinks
such a building can be put up for
12,000. It is thought that the Ma
sons and Odd Fellows can easily
raise 1800 each, while the library is
sure of S4OO. It is proposed to place
the building on the southeast cor
ner of the town lot, the authorities
baing willing to sell the land for
this purpose. The matter will be
determined this week, as the lodges
of Masons and Odd Fellows have
regular sessions this week.

was attacked with violent hem

stomach and liver troubles so I pre
scribed them. The patient gained

attack in fourteen months. ” Elec

I shall have to foot (lie bill. Confound
it all, why do women come so high ?
And vet a woman is an exceedingly
pleasant being to have around, with her
soft caressing ".ays, her daintiness
I Ami then, to come home—to your ovn
home, mind you—and have a sweet
lune woman wailing to greei, you with
a kiss. How soft a woman’s cheeks
are! And her lips!
Well, she might paint; and paint has
never yet been made that tastes good
to masculine lips; and she might be
cross, and she might keep a nasty little •
poodle dog, and she might kiss the dog,
and then want to kiss me.
But, then, there really is something
delightfully charming, something that
appeals to the noblest and the best of a
fellow', in a home with a loving woman
to preside over it, says Everett McNeil
in the Ledger Month Iv. How exquisitely
dainty she looks as she pours out the
tea! How her smile, as she passes the
steaming cup, appears to give an added
delicacy to the fragrant beverage ! And,
when the meal is over, how very pleas
ant, how restful after a hard day at the
office, to sit w ith her soft, warm hand
in yours and listen to her sympathetic
words and—
Alas, she might talk scandal, or tell
of her petty quarrels with the servants
or neighbors, or talk vapid nonsense
about tiie latest styles in dresses or hats.
Or we might quarrel, and say mean
things, and gel mad and wish we had
never met; and then she would cry,
and her face would get into those hor
rid wrinkles, and the tears would rain
down, and she wonk! wring her hands,
and call me a mean thing, and speak of
going to her mother's; and I —l
Well, well, I am comfortable now;
and this is.a pleasant room, and I can
do as I please in it, with no one to in
terrupt, and if 1 don’t want to talk I
needn’t, and when 1 feel lonely there is
the club, and there are women who are
always glad to see me, who are always
pleasant with me, and who never ask
me where 1 was last night, no why I
did not get home earlier, but who just
do their best to Qiake things pleasant
for jne.
And when lam tired of talking with
them, or of looking at them, why I can
bid them a pleasant good-day and go;
and I needn’t go back again unless 1
wish to, and if I tire ot the company
of one woman and seek that of another it
it is my business and all right Tlieie is
no string tied to me, and 1 am free to
seek pastures new whenever and where
ever I fancy
Still, I don’t kiiow. There is some
thing missing in my life, a longing thill
is never satisfied, a yearning for ti
closer, a more sacred companionship
with woman; and Ido feel lonely, very
lonely, some times, wnen 1 enter my
room with no one to greet me, to wel
come me! and then my books won’t sat
isfy me, and the club is inane, and
other women—well, I just can’t help
but sit down some times and think, and
think, and think how I ought to have
a wife, and little children who would
climb upon my knees, and put their
arms around my neck and call me papa
and tell me how much they loved
me
Ah, but children sometimes have
nasty tempers, and dirty faces and
hands, and are no respecters of persons
or of clothes, and are sure to want to
climb all over a fellow the moment he
puts on his dress suit, and to pull his
hair and moustache, and to look at his
watch to see the wheels go around, and
to keep all the house in an uproar just
when one wishes to be quiet—
Well, well, I don’t know; I am sure
I don’t know; but still, if I could find
the right kind of a woman—ay, there's
the rub!—l had rather hang than get
the wrong kind. Yes, if I could get the
right woman—l think I would try to
get my friend Tom to marry her.
The Wastes of the Body.
Every seven days the blood, mus
cles and bones of a man of average
size loses two pounds of wornout
tissue. This waste cannot be re
plenished and the health and
strength kept up without perfect
digestion. When the stomach and
digestive organs fail to perform
their functions, the strength lets
down, health gives way, and
disease sets up. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure enables the stomach and di
gestive organs to digest and assimi
late all ot the wholesome food that
may be eaten into the kind of blood
that rebuilds the tissues and pro
tects the health and strength of the
mind and body. Kodol cures indi
gestion, dyspepsia and all stomach
troubles. It is an ideal spring
tonic . Sold by T. J. Brooks.
A Towel in Addition.
There is no ase in going to the

made, but get the towel in addition.

HOW TO GAIN FLESH
The life of food is the fat
within it —the more fat the 4
more real benefit from the
food; that is why cod liver,
oil is a powerful builder of'
flesh.
Scott’s Emulsion of pure
cod liycr oil solves the prob
lem of how to take cod liver
oil. That is one reason why m
doctors have been prescrib
ing Scott’s Emulsion for alh fi
wasting diseases, coughs,colds
and bronchitis for almost
thirty years.
One of the inducements
offered in order to substitute '
something else for Scott’s*
Emulsion is the matter of
cost. You save a few cents I
at the expense of your health.
Scott’s Emulsion costs more
because it does more and does
it better than the substitutes."
