On last Tuesday morning at eight o’clock occured the death of little Jim Cline, the three year old son of Mr. and Mrs. ,T. G. Cline. He had been sick with pneumonia for over a week, and for several days previous to his death his life was dispaired of. How much that dear little form, that prattling voice, y Jis missed 1 What an aching void is left in that home! The sorrowing fa ther and mother have Jthe heart felt sympathy of the entire town.

Like a Drowning Man. ‘‘Five years ago a disease the doctors called dyspepsia took such hold of me that I could scarcely go,” writes Geo. S. Marsh, well- known attorney of Nocona, Tex “I took quantities of pepsin and other medicines but nothing help ed me. As a drowning man grabs at a straw I grabbed at Kodol. felt an improvement at once and. after a few bottles am sound and well.” Kodol is the only prepa ration which exactly reproduces the natural digestive juices and consequently is the only one which digests any good food and cures any form of stomach trouble. Holtzclaw’s Drugstore. ... m 0-0- Receipts of cattle at the stock yards in Omaha for three weeks ending April 12th, 1902, were _ 5,- 000 heard in excess of the receipts for the corresponding week in 1901 and for the proceeding two weeks the excess in receipts this year over last year was approxi mately the same figure. This , does not look much like there was such a great shortage in cattle as the beef trust alleges as a reason for advancing prices. — Old Soldier’s Experience. M. M. Austin, a civil war veter- en, of Winchester, Ind., writes: ‘‘My wife was sick a-long time in spite of good doctor’s treatment, but was wholy cured by Dr.King’s- New Life Pills, which worked wonders for her health.” They always do.

There has lately been a fresh crop of complatnts in sermons and magazine articles that the young women of America ®r| ceasing to care for the home. The higher education is supposed to be re sponsible for this, and when wo men get the ballot it is predicted that the disastrous change will be complete. Those who fear that equal suffrage, will give a death blow to the home should have their nerve9 calmed by the facts related at tha tkw National Sutaea Convention, in Wasn!:^" ton, by Miss Theodosia Ammons, teacher of domestic science at the State Agricultural College of Col orado. She said: “Since women obtained the bal lot, work for many reforms has been carried on with great success. One of the chief lines of effort has been to establish industrial education. We propose to intro duce domestic and sanitary cours es in all schools. “The women voters of Colorado do not neglect their homes. In everything we try to emphasize the home and. to teacli our girls to be good home-makers. We are laying stress upon scientific house keeping. Believing that the home is the center, of everything, we have started at the Chautauqua,at Boulder, a model cottage to show the very best methods of house keeping. It was said long ago that woman was the natural sani tary reformer. We are trying to introduce sanitation as nearly per fect as possible. Increased atten tion has been given in Colorado to home-making and improved sani tation siuce women have had the ballot. “A large fuel and iron company employs women as instructors in the science of nutrition, domestic economy, etc., and is sending them around to teach these things in the great camps. The courses are free and anyone may learn. They are thus reaching the for eigners, who need instruction most. I am always sorry to see women at the East sending in protests against equal suffrage. It seems to me a dreadful thing for women to do. They do not know what they are doing. “In Colorado the women’s vote has been .very large in proportion to their numbers. The best, the most intellectual, and most rep resentative women in our state are and have been believers equal suffrage, and it was never so strong in popular favor as it is to-day. Those who have said the contrary have perhaps had some personal reason for speaking ill of women as voters. Certainly the facts will not bear them out.” A HOUSE OP MEMORIES. Atlanta Constitution. It is much to be hoped that the good and patriotic people of Washington, in- Wilkes county, will find a way to preserve as a public trurb and treasure the old county couet house in which was held the last cabinet meeting of the confederate govermneut. Other peoples in other lands are holding in sacred preservation places and houses of less historic significance. Today the impor tance of the old building as a landmark may not seem so great, , but in t’hogo days to come when X1 ■ ' Matoiry gf |he cause the true . ** ‘Y.C"V ’ vt}§ motives, the deeds.au? tkedesper ate last days of the confederate war are read throughout civilization with .thrills of reverence and ad miration, and when eager devotees of eternal world principles come to our country seeking to look upon the memorials of those aw ful times, the old house at Wash ington would be one of absorbing interest and awe. Tho people of Wilkes are a no ble and patriotic people and they are not so strained in fortunes as to need urgently the scant money value of the historic house where the heroic Davis sat last at the counsel board with such trusty and knightly lieutenauta as Rea- gin, Mallory, Benjamin and their colleagues. It is a place scarce second in its valued memories to the old capitol at Montgomery and the old executive mansion at Richmond. Again, we say, it would rejoice all the survivors and inheritors of the lost cause and its memories to know that the generous and chiv alrous people of Wilkes had voted to keep the old house intact and make it a precious relic to future generations of southrons.
