Dear .. Sirs: My .. wife ., has . , been afflicted .... , . with ... what , the .
doctors pronounced catarrh of the bowels. „
For Ike years she suffered desperately and in August, IW5,
the doctors gave her up to die with catarrh of the bowels. Having
bought a bill of Sulphozone from your drummer, I got her to taking
the Sulphozone and it greatly improved her health, and I am sure
it has PRESERVED HER LIFE and she is still living and enjoying
good health.
Yours very gratefully,

THE MURRAY NEWS, FRIDAY, AUGUST 81, 1906
Time for Him to Quit.
It is one of the amiable tradi¬
tions of the Senate of the United
States that no new senator shall
make a set speech till lie has
served a year or longer, says
Success, Old Senators are very
impatient Of the assumption of
importance hv newcomers.
The late George E- Edmunds,
of Vermont, once allowed it to
be understood “ that he would
soon retire from public life.
Idaho has just been admitted as
a state, with the privilege of
electing senators, the one for a
long term and the other for a
short term. A Mr. McConnell
drew the short term, having but
two months to serve, proceeded
to make the best of it, The day
after he had been sworn in he
took up a position in the middle
isle, and, in a fog horn voice,
made his speech.
While he was holding the fort
Mr. Edmunds entered the cham
ber. He stopped short and gazed
at the speaker with the utmost
astonishment, Then lie made
his way to his seat, and, leaning
over to the Senator next to him,
asked: “Who is that person?”
A senator from Idaho.”
“You don’t say so! When did
be come?”
“He was sworn in yesterday.”
“Sworn in yesterday aud
ing a speech today,” mused Ed
rounds. “Well, well, if that
doesn’t beat all! It looks
it is time for me to quit.”
And in a few days he resigned, ’

Negro Boy Caught Watching
Young Woman Disrobe.
Koine, Ga., Aug. 28.—Sam
Berry, an 18-year old negro, was
tonight caught “p e e p i n g”
through the blinds of a room
where Miss Copeland, sister of
Dean Copeland, was disrobing,
and a mob of fifteen citizens,
gathered together by a man who
saw the peeping act, took young
Berry to a wooded spot beyond
the city limits and Hogged him
with a bull whip. Berry was
terribly thrashed but his hurts
were only skin deep. He was
accused of attempting to attack
a negro girl a few weeks ago.
There is no clue to the identity of
the citizens who thrashed Berry.
THREE WAYS TO SUBDUE.
A Story of Hu (til In, omt the Trainer
of hllephiiut*.
From Hindoo tules that have come
through the Ohinose, who give us most
of our Indian records—the rishls were
dreamers and not recorders—we have
this story of Buddha:
Tlie lol ' d demanded one day of an
elephant trainer what were the means
he employed to subdue his beasts.
“Three,” said the mahout. “One ap
P ltes ,0 tbL ‘ mouth a hook of iron,
which he attaches to breast clasp, and
the elephant cannot lift his neck. Then
one gives less aud less food till thin
weak and dually beats.”
"And what does one accomplish by
these means?” asked he-of-the-yel low
light.
“The crochet de fer serves to over¬
come the reaismnee f of the head; the
deprivatl0Il 0f OOi i „ U( j ( i rluki ti)e v!o .
lence of the body; the stick subdues the
spirit. After this, all Is easy.”
The nitnbused-bronze-one said:
“I also have three ways to subdue.
First, by perfect sincerity I control
what goes forth from the mouth; by
aCfec0 on UIld charlt -v 1 h »™onize the

vibration of thought I calm the spirit.
Did you ever think of trying these on

SUDDENLY DIES ON TRAIN
Had No Letters or Other Means
of Identification.
Americus, Ga., August28.—A
well dressed stranger, en route
from Rochelle, Ga., to Montom
ery, died while aboard a Seaboard
passenger train arriving here
this morning. There were no
letters or other means of identi¬
fication, and the remains lie em¬
balmed in an undertaking estab¬
lishment here awaiting results
of further inquiry. It is believ¬
ed the man belongs to Kingston,
or Spring Place, Ga. The body
is fearfully emaciated apparent
ly from cornsumption. The man
is middle age, slightly bald, blue
eyes and of gentlemanly appear¬
ance, evidently a traveling sales¬
man or solicitor.

The sweetest words that fell
from Jim’s lips were the last he
uttered, “I will soon he at rest.”
Mother, father, sisters and broth¬

asleep in Jesus.
Here our home is broken,
mother, and Jim’s smiling face
has gone; but the glorious day is
coming, when we’ll join the

our heart still comforts —we shall
clasp Jim’s hand once more.
We shall meet again up yonder

Dear ones look to the Great
