From Ilanna to Dick!
What a travesty on states¬
manship.
Has Gentle Annie come to
stay, or is this spring weather
merely a visit?
Bargain seekers will find
them at the stores of the mer¬
chants who advertise in The
Murray News.
According to the report
of the Bradstreet Commer¬
cial Agency, eighty-four per
cent, of the merchants that
failed in 1903 did not adver¬
tise.
The New York World re
fers to Gen. Joe Wheeler as
an authority on naval affairs.
Probably because he fought
so desperately in the last

With China protected by
the powers, Russia and Japan
will feel like pugilists who
are compelled to fight after
the gate receipts have been
attached.
That old question, “Does
Wealth bring happiness?”
calls forth from the Chatta¬
nooga News the remark that
very few people are in a po¬
sition to answer it intelligent
iy
The indigent pension fund
has been exhausted, and the
widows in forty-three coun¬
ties remain unpaid. The in¬
digents in Murray county,
however, will receive every
cent due them.
An American opened a
store in Birmingham next
door to an Englishman in the
same line of business. Then
the Englishman put up a pla¬
card reading, “Established

ing, “Established Yesterday;
No Old Stock,”
The Walker County Mes
senger quotes II011. George
G. Glenn, representative from
Whitfield, as saying:
“In my opinion there is not
a man in the district who can
defeat Goidon Lee; and I
make the further prediction
that he will be elected by the
biggest majority ever given
to any man for congress from
this district.”
Rev. Kay 1 .or, of Brook¬
lyn, says there are no female
angels in heaven. As it’s a
pretty sure proposition that
male angels don’t form the
large majority beyond the
pearly gates, the doctor prob¬
ably would have us believe
that death transmutes a hu¬
man being into a species of
mule, of which class he is
doubtless already standing at
the head.

DAWNV1LLE CITIZENS ENTER PROTEST.
From the Dalton Arg«» of February 27, 120-1.
We have read the article signed “Comrade” from
and we want to protest against it. It does not voice tlie
of our people. We are not against Sam P. Maddox, and will
be against him at the polls.

it seems likely they will not
discover their mistake until
they are again confronted by
the conditions which existed
in the dark days of 1898-9
Says the Charleston Post:
It is some years since Ne¬
braska was a Democratic
state; Souih Carolina has
been nothing else for a gen¬
eration. Yet Mr. w. J
Bryan of Nebraska says he
has come to South Carolina
to tell the Democratic party
of the state how to retain au¬
thority. Mr. Bryan is about
as cool a proposition as the
weather has been this winter.
On the ground that an un¬
written law gives every Dem¬
ocratic governor of Georgia a
second term, Col. J.H. Es
till refuses to make the race
this year, though strongly im¬
portuned to do so by a host
of admirers. When Col. Es
till was told that his friends
in every section would sup¬
port him enthusiastically, and
that he stood a good chanee
of securing the nomination,
he replied : “That may be so,
but I cannot be induced to go
back upon the accepted Dem¬
ocratic theory that a govern¬
or should have a second term
as an endorsement if he wish¬
es it.
Rainy Day Sabbath Thoughts.
Editor Murray News.
Enoch, Ga., Feb. 21. —A few
thoughts would not be amiss on
the subject of the church and the
Holy Ghost.
Religious times have changed,
or, rather, the custom has—reli¬
gion is the same today, yesterday
and forever. There is too much
“stuff” taught in pulpit and pew,
on the streets and highways, and
not enough heart-felt, soul-stir¬
ring, soul-saving religion.
O for a return to the old land¬
marks, when the veterans of the
cross, both male and female, will
enjoy home religion!
The time lias been when your
scribe could hear the sweet shouts
all through the week and year
from some old mother or father
in Israel, filled with the love of
God to overflowing. Such a thing
at this time would scare the
young and rising generation. The
biggest thing in the business is
for the steward to come up with
a big report, and the deacon to
show up a good sum.
O Lord God, give us Holy
Ghost preachers, humble, Holy
Ghost church people, and less
form and fashion, and sinners
will be convicted and mourners
converted, and the church more
respected and the cause built up.
A Member.
Two white men of Girard, Wil¬
liam Sewell and Aliie Guallate,
became involved in a fight near
the upper bridge in Girard near
Columbus, with the result that
Sewell was badly carved up.
Guallate, it is said, used his knife
with telling effect, stabbing the
other behind the ear, in the back,
in the neck and other places.
A movement has been started
h j mlniSi a nd Hon, Henry D.
Clayton, congressman from the
third district of Alabama, to have
United States government
mar k the■battleground of the last
fight between the north and
south, which took place east of
t j ie Mississippi river, by a na- ]
tional mark.

Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
I The kidneys are your
sdk Wjlj blood purifiers, they fil
% ter out the waste or
sflr impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
r j i P j their of order, work, they fail to do
ri j M 1 matism Pains, aches come and from rheu
ex¬
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It use4 to be considered that oniy urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin¬
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first docto-ing yqyr kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is !
soon realized. It stands the highest for its 1
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits
by ail druggists in fifty- gggagia
cent and one-doilar siz¬
es. You may have a
sample bottle by mail Home of Swamp-Root,
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.
