attend the annual conference which
assembles this week. It is reported
that he will retire from active service

The past few days have been cool
and somewhat favoable for hog-kill
ing. Some of our citizens have in
dulged in that vocation. Whether
forced to kill because of a shortage of
hog-feed or a lack of hog and hominy
we are unable to determine.
* The weather during the past week
has not been very favorable for cot
ton picking. The inclement weather
and the sickness which prevails have
caused a reduction in the cotton re
ceipts at the local gins.
If health conditions are favorable
the Board of Directors expect the lo
cal public schools to open Monady,
December 1st. Public sentiment is
favorable to a six-days-a-week ser
vice and no holidays excepting on
Christmas day. Inasmuch as three
months of the school year will have
passed by that date it will be neces
sary to do something like that to get
in a full year’s work before mid-sum
mer of next year.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
—
Drink a glass of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.
I -
Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
well, sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, Instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in ,it to wash from the
stomach, lively kidneys and bowels the
previous day’s indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus,
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
out all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex
tracting a large volume of water from
Die blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism;
others wfio have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly complexions are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but is
sufficient to make anyone a pro
nounced crank on the subject of
Infernal sanitation.
