Few people know that all plants
contain digestive principles They
cannot absorb their food until it
is digested any more than animals
can. The Mount Lebanon Shakers
have learned the art of extracting
and utilizing these digestive prin
ciples, and it is for this reason
that their Digestive Cordial is
meeting with such phenomenal
success in the treatment of dyspep
sia. The Shaker Digestive Cordial
not only’contains food already di
gested, but it also contains diges
tive principles which aid the di
gestion of other foods that may be
eaten with it. A single 10 cent
sample bottle will be sufficient to
demonstrate its value, and we sug
gest that every suffering dyspeptic
make a trial of it. Any druggist
can supply it.
Laxol is the best medicine for
children. Doctors recommend it

miles about, but of no avail and
was given up and told I could not
live. Having Dr. King’s New Dis
covery in my store I sent for & 1
bottle and began its use and from
the first dose began to get better,
and after using three bottle was
up and about again. It is worth
its weight in gold. We won’t keep

Decline of Intemperance.
Much has been said of late con
cerning the remarkable decline of
intemperance and the consump
tion of alcoholic beverages in this
country. This fact is not only
slfown by statistics, but is appa
rent even to the casual observer.
The fact is not to bo accounted for
solely by reference to legal re
straints, says the Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal, and inhibitions of
the sale of liquor. It will bo found
that in nearly all the .smaller
towns where whisky is sold by the
drink as freely as ever that drunk
enness is, on the decline; that the
class of peoplo to be found about
the saloons is not tho same as ton
years ago ; that it is no longer con
sidered a thing without reproach
tor young men to bo known as fre
quenters of grogshops, and that, in
short, a healthier and more robust
moral sentiment, so far as this
question is concerned, pervades
ready every community. Wo hope
and believe that our active work
ers in the cause of temperance have
done much to bring this about;
but wo suspect that the temperance
societies, while they have done
much to rescue individuals or to
hold thorn away from temptation
have had a minor part in the quiet
revolution that has been going on
this question. The character and
organization of modern business
frowns upon the intemperate use
of strong drink. The sentiment
has been steadily growing and
strengthening that the man who
doesn’t drink is a safer man in
any branch or department of trade
commerce and industry than the
man who doos. The sober man is
more likely to find employment,
and the man who is seen about sa
loons is marked and suspected even
if he be ordinarily sober. There
are vaiious employments in which
drinking cannot be tolerated at all.
The locomotive engineer, the
switchmen, the train dispatcher,
street railway conductors and
numbers of others that we might
mention must necessarily keep
their brains clear and their nerves
steady. Civilization is simply out
growing intemperance.—Ex.

Our new school house is being
put up by Williams & Doster, with
W. T. Herndon as head workman.
People are about done gathering
cotton and most of it is sMd.
Some of us have already forgot
that we have had any money and
have gone to work turning land
for the crop of ’96.
I fear that a large crop of cot
ton will be planted next year. We
should reduce our cotton acreage
at least one-fourth and make our
own fertilizers and then we might
get ten cents for our cotton next
fall. We should all sow wheat,
and in fact make our farms self
sustaining and only raise cotton
as a surplus crop. If everybody
would look at the matter just right
we can get as much money for a
half crop as we can for a big one.
The farmers are having a fine
time now. Hogs are fat and we
are living on spare ribs and back
bones.
Our burg is still improving. J.
S. Doster has built a new barn re
cently and so hafl Dr. Shamblin.
Dr. Smith is putting up a nice
