FISHIN* TIME.
.When the trees is all abuddin’
Ami the grass is gitin’ green
And the sunshines soft and meller,
Castin’ shadders tall and lean.
.When the wind blows kinder easy,
Lonesome like and sorter slow,
Like a woman to her baby,
Makes that home sick feeling
grow.
WThen you see the violets peepin’
Thru the grass a-actin’ shy,
And you catch a sniff o’ plum bloom
Know they’re somewhere right
close by.
When you see the cows a-runin’
Tails a-pintin’ in the air,
Heel flies follerin’ close a-hind ’em,
Bees a-buzzin everywhere.
.When your mind ain’t on your business
An’ you’re easy to get mad,
An’ your bones feel sorter akey,
An’ your appetite gets bad.
Then it’s spring, and all that ails yot
Is jest longin’ an a-wishin’
Fer a chance to lay and lazy
On some shady bank a-fishin’.

Contract For Lyceum Course.
A lyceum course of lecture*
and musical entertainments, five
dry number, has bee ncontracted
for by a number of business
men, to be given in the High
School Auditorium the next
school year.
The ladies of the School Im
provement Association have
very kindly and public spirited
ly consented to assume charge
rnd look after the sale of season
1 :ckets.
The course secured is from
.Midland Lyceum Bureau of Des
Moines, Iowa and their repre
' }■ ^ '-TW
! sentative Miss Isabel Barton
spent Thursday and Friday in
the city.
The profits above the guar
antee are turned over to the
School Improvement Associa
tion and while the course the
past school year, did not net
much over expenses, the reason
is probably that this was the
1 first year in which a lyceum
course was secured.
The entertainments wrere very
satisfactory and some of them
were very favorably received.
They are a part of school and
college life and educational just
as much as the regular course
of study.
And as the course receives
better support, the class of en
tertainments can be improved
under higher guarantees. The
course for next year is thought
to be of a higher standard than
for the one just closing.
The course is to consist of
two lectures by Hon. Granville
Jones and Arthur Kachel and
three entertainments by “The
Walens,” “Sarah Ruth Bates
and Company” and “Meitersin
gers Male Quartette.”

WISHED SHE
COULD DIE
And Be Free From Her Trouble*,
but Find* Better Way.
I _
Columbia, Tenn.—"Many 9 time,**
•ays Mrs. Jessie Sharp, of this place,
"1 wished f would die and be relieved
Of my {suffering, from womanly troubles.
1 could not get up, without pulling at
something to help me, and stayed in bed
most of the time. 1 could not do . my
housework.
The least amount of work tired m»
out. My head would swim, and I would
tremble for an hour or more. Finally. 1
took Cardui, the woman's tonic, ana I j
am not bothered with pains any more, j
and I don’t have to go to bed. In fact,
I am sound and well of all my troubles." ;
Cardui goes to all the weak spots and
helps to make them strong. It acts with
nature—not against her. It is for the
tired, nervous, irritable women, who feel
as if everything were wrong, and need
something to quiet their nerves and
strengthen the worn-out system.
If you are a woman, suffering from any
of the numerous symptoms of womanly
trouble, take Cardui. It will help you.

Guardi Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble
Many children at an e?riy ag«
become constipated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con
dition, a child’s bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
Dr. Miles’ l.axative Tablets are
especially well adapted to women
and children. The Sisters of
Christian Charity, 531 Charles St.,
Luzerne, Pa., who attend many
cases of sickness say of them:
‘‘Some time ago we began using Dr.
Miles' l.axative Tablets and find that
we like them very much. Their action
is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good results in
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased.”
The form and flavor of any medi
cine is very important, no matter
who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know how hard it is to give
the average child “medicine,” even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using Dr. Miles' Lax
ative Tablets, however, this difa
culty is overcome. The shape '>■
the tablets, their appearance and
candy-like taste at once appeal to
any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection.
The rich chocolate flavor and
absence of. other taste, make Dr.
Miles’ Laxative Tablets the ideal
remedy for children. 3
If the first box fails to benefit,
the price is returned. Ask your
druggist. A befx of 25 doses costs
only 25 cents. Never sold in bulk,

" CONSTIPATIOIf.
Its Cause and How to Cure it
Eat too much,
Stomach feels bloated,
All out of sorts,
Don’t feel like work to-day. Guess
I’ve another case of biliousness. *
“Take anything?”
“Yes; some pills, but no results; sup*
pose I’m getting ironclad. Sometimes I
double the dose, then they physic me so
hard I’m too weak to work. Think I’ll
have to try something new.”
“Ever try Prickly Ash Bitters?”
“No; I’ve heard a good de»! about it
but never tried it.”
“Well, you’ll be pleased with the re
i 3uItS.”
The purgative action of Prickly As'r
Bitters not only removes hard itnpac
| vjons, gas and impurities, but it strength
ens the muscular action of the bowels
! which causes them to move regulany.
rriCKiy ASH diu.ci — uuwa
and regulator in the truest sense. It
promotes daily evacuations, establishes
healthy movements and is the best
known remedy for disordered digestion,
flatulence and a constipated habit.
D. M. Blackwelder, of Litchfield, 111., says i
the Litchfuid Ne-ws: "I am perfectly willing, in
fact glad to testify to tr.e value of Prickly Ash
Bitters as a medicine for the kidneys, stomach
«od bowels. 1 ha- - used it whenever I needed
anything of the kind for the last fifteen yean
and it has always given satisfaction.”
