MR. BROWN ELIGIBLE?
The Question Has Been Raised
Since His Election as Manager
of the Dawson Dispensary.
The question of eligibility which
was raised soon after Mr. E. H. Brown’s
election as manager of the Dawson dis
pensary remaios unsettled
When the guestion was sprung the
board of dispensary commissioners met
to consider it, but they could notagree
and adjourned without taking any ac
tion other than agreeing to obtain a
legal opinion from some competent
person.
The point on which Mr. Brown's
eligibility has been questioned is that
be is not a citizen of Dawson. The act
establishing dispensaries in the coun
ty says in neferconce to the election of
managers :
“Said dispensary commissioners
shall at once (when requested to do so
by the council of an incorporated town)
take steps to locate a dispeusary 2t
some convenient place in said town.
They shail elect a man who shall be of
cood moral character and sober habits
and a citizen of the town in which is
located the dispensary, to be known as
dispensarv manager, who shall bhave
charge of and control the dispensary
under their supervision.” !
What the outcome will be noone
knows, and developments will have to
b awaited.
Mr. Brown is one of the well-known
and hichly e-teemed citizens of the
northern part of the county, and his
friends hope there will be no obstacle
in the way to his holding the position
10 which he has been elected.
DEATH AT PARROTT.
Mrs. E. S. Pinkston Passes Away.
Other News Items.
_ ParrorT, Dec. 10.—Our hearts
were all made sad by the death of Mrs.
E. 3. Pinkston yesterday. She was a
most splendid lady, an affectionate,
helpful wife and mother. Words fail
us when we attempt to offer consola
tion to the bereaved husband aud lit
tle children. No one except he who
has passed through such an ordeal can
appreciate the suffering of the hus
ban in his bereavement. We can on
ly say that our entire community ten
aers its heartfelt sympathy to this
sadly afflicted family, and pray God
that He will temper this sad blast to
the shorn ones and be a helper to the
husband and a father to the bereft
little ones. Mrs. Pinkston was a sis
ter of Messrs. Jas. and Curt Whaley of
this place and Mrs. D. K. Christie of
Dawson. She leaves a husband and
£ix children.
Cotton is nearly all ginned and most
of it has left the farmers’ hands. Still
it leaves them in a much better condi
tion toan for many years past. The
farmers in our section are 1n good
shape for another year, having plenty
of corn and more meat than usual. 1f
they do not foolishly plant too much
cotton next year this will be the most
prosperous section in the state.
We reeret to lose Messrs. T. J. Wil
liams and Henry Turner from our
midst. They wiil not rebuild their
burned store, but will try their fort
unes elsewhere. They had made many
warm friends in our town by their
gentlemanly and upright conduct in
tusiness Whercver they may stop
that community will be vastly the
gainer.

Sick Women Advised to Seek

[LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. 94,863]
“J had inflammation and falling
of the womb, and inflammation of
ovaries, and was in great pain. I took
medicine prescribed by a physician,
but it did me no good. At last I heard
of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound, and after using it faithfully I
em thankful to say I ama well women.
I would advise all suffering women to
geek advice of Mrs. Pinkham."—MßEs.
G. H. CEAPPELL, GRANT PARK, ILL.
‘“ For several years my health was
miserable. I suffered the most dread
ful pains, and was almost on the verge
of insanity. I consulted one of the
best physicians in New York, and he
pronounced my disease a fibroid tumor,
advising an operation without delay,
saying that it was my only chance for
life. Other doctors prescribed strong
and violent medicine, and one said I
was incurable, another told me my
only salvation was galvanic batteries,
which I tried, but nothing relieved me.
One day a friend called and begged me
to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound. I began its use and took
several bottles. From the very first
bottle there was a wonderful change
for the better. The tumor has disap
peared entirely and my old spirits have
returned. I heartily recommend your
medicine to all suffering women.”—

OUR FARM ANIMALS.,
Census Report of Cattle, Horses,
Etc., in Inclosures in Ter=
rell County.
One of the most important items pub
lished by the census bureau is the sta
tistics of agriculture, giving in detail
the number of farm animals in barns
and inclosures in the different counties
of the states. This report does not in
clude animals at large or on the ranges
and farms, but only those confined in
barns and inclosures, and is therefore
almost absolutely correct.
THE NEWS is indebted to the census
bureau for a copy of the: report, from
which we gather the following statis
tics for Terrell county :
