Flowers For The Living.
Flowers for the living, and not
for the dead,
Here let the words of affection
be said;
Roses of kindness and lillies of
trust
Fall on the heart ere it withers
('' to dust.
Flowers for the living and not
for the dead,
How can it matter what words
shall be said,
When in the moment of welcome
release
They have gone out on the por
tals of peace.
Flowers for the living—and
carry them now,
Garland the ache and the throb
of the brow,
Soft with the touch as the wing
. of a dove;
\ t
Brightening the soul with the
blossoms of love.
Flowers for the living and not
for the dead,
Then when the day with the sun
set is red,
Memories sweet of the ransomed
above
J*nd the fragrance of hope from
the blossoms of love.

Double Damage Law Valid.
Washington, April 13.—In up
holding the validity by the Unit
ed States Supreme Court of the
Arkansas law, approved Febru
ary 27, 1907, assessing double
damages against railroads for
killing live stock, the Kansas
City Southern Railroad Compa
ny will have to pay a great deal
in excess of the cost for killing
a pony mare a few years ago be
longing to Jacob Anderson of
Arkansas.
Anderson offered to accept a I
payment of $50 for his pony,
provided, he should receive his
money from the railroad compa
ny within 30 days. The money
ivas not paid him within the spe-!
fffied time and the railroad com
pany then offered to pay $150 for
he loss of the pony, under cer
:ain conditions, which were not
■greed to by the owner of the
>ony. The case went to a jus
ice of the peace and from there
to the Circuit court, and finally
reached the Arkansas Supreme
Court, which sustained the
judgment of the lower court in
the sum of $100, or double dam
ages and $25 for attorney’s fees,
Bale Of Cotton Stolen.
A bale of cotton weighing 680
pounds and numbered G 1091
with a ginning number of 1013
was stolen Saturday night from
the Rock Island platform at Tu
pelo and the officers are on the
lookout for the thief, who has
not as yet been located.
It’s a rather hard matter to
make a safe getaway with a bale
of cotton and the thief in this
case took such a big bale that
this circumstance will help to
more easily locate him.
Whole Family Benefits)
By Wonderful Remedy
There are many little things to
annoy us, under present conditions
of life. The hurry, hard work,
noise and strain all tell on us and
tend to provoke nervousness and
irritability.. We are frequently so
worn out we can neither eat, sleep
nor work with any comfort. We
are out of line with ourselves and
others as well.
A good thing to do under such
circumstances is to take something
like
Dr. Mile*’ Anti-Pain Pills
to relieve the strain on the nerves.
Mrs. J. B. Hartsfield, S2 Plum St.,
Atlanta Ga., writes:
X have on several occasions been
vastly relieved by the use of your med
icines, especially the Anti-Pain pills,
which I keep constantly on hand for
the use of myself, husband and two
sons. Nothing: in the world equals them
as a headache remedy. Often I am
enabled by the use of one or two of
the Pills to continue my' housework
when otherwise I would be in bed. My
husband joins me in mv praise of the
Anti-Pain Pills and Nervine.”
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pill*
are relied upon to relieve pain,
nervousness and irritability in thou
sands of households. Of proven
merit after twenty years’ use, you
can have no reason for being longer
without them.
At all Druggist*, 25 doses 25 cent*.
