McKinley and lee.
Ex-Governor R. B. Bullock has
written to the New York Press, sug
gesting General Fitzhugh Lee as vic*
president on ticket with President
McKinley. We think the suggestion
is a good one. Governor Bullock says:
“Now I claim that we, as ex-Con
federates, have a right to ask of our
national party something new to which
we can rally with patriotic fervor.
Let it be McKinley and Lee, under
the flag of the Union, against the
world if need be.”
Gov. Bullock is a good and true
Confederate veteran, of Atlanta Camp
No. 159, and he knows how and when
to make sensible suggestions. The
president is on record as favoring the
care of graves of Confederate soldiers
by the national government. We
approve the sentiment. Let the
suggestion of Governor Bullock
be adopted, and we may then
have a substantial hope of the practi
cal adoption of the suggestion of
the president, and thus our brave
dead Confederate comrades may
be forever honored by our Federal
government, and their memory may
be cherished by all the people of this
republic. So let it be McKinley and
Lee.
“CHILDREN OF THE CONFED
ERACY.’*—

eral manager. A meeting was held in

boy soldiers in the civil war. Mr. S.
A. Cunningham of the “Confederate

Hluh Water In MisaU.lppi Will Do In
calculable Injury.
Reports from Vicksburg, Jackson,
Utica and other points in Mississippi
state that one of the heaviest rain
falls experienced in recent years has
visited the cotton delta.
Rivers and creeks are over their
banks and in many instances crops in
the lowlands are being flooded, and it
is feared much loss to planters and
farmers will result.
The railroads traversing the state
are also heavy sufferers, many wash
outs having occurred, and serious de
lay to both freight and passenger train
traffic is reported. Illinois Central
tracks south of Jackson, Miss., have
. been washed away and passengers are
being run over the Yazoo valley road.
The Yazoo Valley tracks below Vicks
burg are also under water and trains
south of that city are at a standstill.
Advices from western Arkansas also
indicate an extremely heavy rainfall.
Seven inches of rain fell in Meridian
and section in twenty-four hours, and
the damage by high water will reach
upward of $200,000.

lie Wondered Why.
A speaker at a large public meeting
recently held in a London suburb bad
occasion to refer to the good public
work performed by a popular magnate
who was upon the platform. After
stating the many and excellent results
of the worthy gentleman’s energy and
perseverance he remarked:
“It is a great pity that every other
idle and indolent man doeq not follow
his example.”
Then the speaker wondered why it
was that the audience smiled audibly.

Stomach
Troubles
In Spring
Are that bilious peeling, bad taste
in the mouth, dull headache, sleep
lessness, poor appetite.
No matter how careful you are
about eating, everything you take into
your stomach turns sour, causes dis
tress, pains and unpleasant gases.
Don’t you understand what these
symptoms—signals of distress—mean ?
They are the cries of the stomach
for help! It is being overworked.
It needs the peculiar tonic qualities
•nd digestive strength to be found in
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
The best stomach and blood reme
dies known to the medical profession
•re combined in the medicine, and
thousands of grateful letters telling
its cures prove it to be the greatest
medicine for all stomach troubles ever
yet discovered.
The Trolley Pole.
In a Scottish paper is an anecdote in
connection with the new electric sys
tem just opened in Aberdeen. Two
farm servants came to Aberdeen to
spend New Year’s day. Arriving by
train, they immediately made their
way to the terminus of the electric
tramway circuit, where, after looking
at the now creation with much won
der, they decided upon having a ride.
Getting on to the top of the car, and
after getting well along: “Wall,” said
Jock, “this is a gratin’ invention. In
Edinburgh I saw them drive the cars
wi’ an iron rope aneth street, in Dun
dee they pu’ them wi’ an engine, but
michty man, who wad a’ thocht they
could ca’ them wi’ a fishing rod!”
Distressing Mistakes.
“A man can’t be too careful whom
he snubs,”
“What do you mean?”
“Why, every once in a while I’ve
snubbed some plain people who after
ward came into a lot of money.
