The nominees of the re¬
cent primary seem, very
wisely, inclined to give the
farmers a chance to get in
their crops before calling on
them, a dceision the voters
no doubt fully appreciate.
A Somerville, Mass.,
bachelor fitted up a house for
his prospective bride with a
phonograph very conspicuous
among the furnishings. A
short while after marriage he
sold the phonograph to the
junk man.
Speaking of a large cotton
crop in the South this year,
the New York Times says:
“One fat year in the South
has been the salvation of the
country’s business, and anoth¬
er would add untold wealth.
Let us hope it will come.”
When William Rich, of
Connecticut, says the Consti¬
tution, married his mother-in
law the other day he put a
hoary joke right where, in a
majority of instances, it de¬
serves to be put. What is
home without a mother-in
law?
Is Col. Bryan entirely sin
cere in his fierce denuncia
tion of the New York Dem¬
ocratic platform, or is he sim¬
ply trying to get even with
somebody for the blows that
were rained upon the Chica¬
go and Kansas City plat¬
forms?
Comb to think of it, what
a humorous thing it is for
men who have been all their
lives identified with the Dem¬
ocratic party to be labeled
“reorganizers” by other men
who have the habit of going
from one political party to
another as easily as they
enter or descend from a
buggy. _.
The latest bulletin issued
by Commissioner of Labor
Carroll D. Wright shows that
the cost of living has increas¬
ed four per cent, during the
past year. Wages, however,
have been reduced about dou¬
ble that figure. In other
words, from the standpoint
of living flie laboring men,
when considered as a body,
are twelve per cent, nearer
starvation than they were this
time last year. When the
Republican spellbinders get
on the stump they will doubt¬
less point with pride to the
prosperous condition of the
country ; and in all probabil¬
ity the laboring men will
keep on voting the Republic¬
an ticket, and work overtime
to make buckle and tongue
meet.
MEN ARE NEEDED.
The great need of the
world today, says an ex¬
change. is men; men who
will not sell; men who arc
honest and sound from cen¬
ter to circumference, true to
the core ; who fear the Lord
and eschew covetousness;
who condemn wrong in friend
or foe in themselves as well
as in others; whose con
sciences are as steady as the

In Memoriam.
Daniel L. Leonard was born on
January 27, 18115, and died Janu¬
ary 12, 1904.
He was a Sunday-school schol¬
ar from his childhood up to the
time of Ills death. He joined
the church in youth, and with
very few exceptions lived a con¬
sistent Christian life. When he
did wrong he always repented,
and was a stranger to hypocrisy.
Whereas in the death of broth¬
er Leonard we, as a Sunday
school, have lost one of our old¬
est members, who always attend¬
ed when physical and other cir¬
cumstances permitted. Let us
therefore try to emulate his good
traits, and do all we can to im¬
prove on those that were not so
good. Therefore be it resolved,
1 That we sincerely mourn the
death of our brother, and truly
sympathize with his bereaved
companion and host of relatives
and friends.
2 That a copy of these resolu¬
tions be spread Sunday-school, upon the minutes and
of Mt. Zion
that a copy be furnished The
Murray News for publication.

Medicinal Value of Vegetables.
Some physical culturists claim
that a vegetarian anti fruit diet
produces an excellent complex¬
ion. However true that may be
it is certain that in the food pro¬
ducts of the earth and tree are
many whose medicinal value can¬
not be too highly estimated.
For instance, spinach and dan¬
delion are good for kidney trou¬
bles; celery is good for those
suffering from rheumatism, neu¬
ralgia, disease of the nerves and
nervous dyspepsia; lettuce and
cucumbers cool the system, and
the former is good for insomnia.
To produce perspiration and re¬
lieve the system of impurities try
asparagus.
Tomatoes contain vegetable
calomel and are good for liver
troubles, and strawberries make
a good complexion.
There is nothing, medicinally
speaking, so useful in cases of
nervous prostration as the hum¬
ble onion. It is almost the best
nervine known, and may be
in coughs, colds and influenza;
consumption, scurvy, hydropho¬
bia, gravel and kindred diseases.
White onions overcome sleep¬
lessness while red onions are
excellent diuretic. Eaten
day, they soon have a
effect upon the complexion.
For malaria and
nothing is better than cranber¬
ries, while blackberries are useful
in all cases of diarrhoea.
Lemon juice, with sugar and
beaten white of egg, may be
to relieve hoarseness.
Figs are valuable as a food
those suffering with sluggish sys¬
tem, and pieplant is excellent
purifying the blood.

Hon. Jap Peeples has gone to
the Rome convention.
John Henson and Miss Sarali
visited his brother, Asbury.
Felton Beaver and wife visited
needle to the pole ; who will
stand for the right if the
heavens totter and the earth
reels.
We need men who will not
corrupt their fellow-men with
whisky to get office, and who
will tell the truth and look
the world square in the eye ;
men who will neither brag
nor run; men who have
courage without shouting to
bring it; men in whom the
current of everlasting life
runs still, deep and strong;
who are careful of God’s
honor and careless of man’s
applause; who are too large
for sectarianism and are too
strong [for political cabals ;
who do not shout or cry or
cause their voices to be heard
in the streets, but who will
neither fail nor be discour
aged till judgment is set on
earth; who know their duty
and do it; who mind their
own business; who will not
lie; who are not too proud
to be poor; who are willing
to eat what they have paid
for.
With enough men of this
kind the world would be a
far .better place; and want,
wretchedness tinhappiness
and all kinds of evils would de
crease.

glad to see Hon. John W.
Maddox sent to the Demo¬
cratic national convention as
a delegate from the state at
large. His experience cov¬
ers many years and his abil¬
ity is undisputed.
The stuttering affliction is
a fortunate thing sometimes.
The other day at Louisville a
stuttering man bought a tick¬
et on a horse race. By mis¬
take the bookmaker put the
money on the wrong horse.
The stutterer tried to explain,
but before he could make the
bookmaker understand the
horse on which his money
was placed through mistake
won the race, and it was a 28
to 1 shot. The record show¬
ed that he had $100 on that
horse, and without further
ado he cashed in for $2,800.
Fisherman Cleveland is

ly takes both his pen and his

these few lines will find you
enjoying the same blessing.—

Messrs. Hightower Talley Oo., Dalton, Ga.
Dear Sirs: I received from you at this place about four
weeks since a small box of IMPERIAL PILE OINTMENT
through the kindness of a Mr. John Keith, of Tilton, Ga.,
and I must say it worked like magic. I have been treated
for twenty-five years for Itching Piles, and have spent hun¬
dreds cf dollars trying to get relief, but never found any¬
thing that did me any good until I tried IMPERIAL PILE
OINTMENT, and I now feel like a well man. Please find
enclosed 50c, for which mail me one box at Acworth, Ga.
I know of several parties who are afflicted in like manner,
and I want them to try it. 1 will certainly recommend it.
Yours very respectfully, W. M. ALEXANDER.
IMPERI AL PILE OINTMENT is sold under a positive
guarantee by Higbtower-Talley Medicine Co, Dalton, Ga.

Are Here to Give
Our patrons what they want. We do not try to induce
them to take something else. If a customer wants Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, he gets Hood’s Sarsaparilla. He is not im¬
portuned to take our own make. We like to treat our
customers right. It is both pleasant and profitable. We
have built up the largest drug establishment in Dalton by
gratifying our patrons’ wishes. There is no reason why
everybody in Murray County should not trade here. We
can give them decidedly the best service, and our prices
are fixed altogether according to what things are worth.
