I a fare-you-well; for I am as much I opposed to sectarian schools as I am to A1 Smith for president. But my opinion does not preclude others from entertaining a contrary opinion. Every man has a perfect ri£ht to be a Methodist. Baptist. Presbyterian, Lutheran, Roman Catholic, Mormon, Mohamedan. Budlst or a follower of Confucius or i a Freethinker. People have a right I to vote and express themselves at to how long a term of public school , we have, and for and against taxa tion. He also has a right to prefer ' mudholes up one hill and down | another instead of graded and hard- j surfac'd highways. He. also, lias a I right to own fifteen dogs if he can j feed them and to censure and mal ign any other man who wants i schools to last eight months and ■ teachers to be paid a decent and j living wage. This country is a free I region and freedom should relapse i into license. All children should be i taught that all wisdom abides in a town, and that country hicks < know nothing and can neither write j nor tell anything drawn from the i great repositories of wisdom. . For instance, in the great moral entertainment staged by Col. Jack Dempsey and Admiral Eugene Tun ney—country jays should not en tertain nor express an opinion ak to j Justice of any decision. For instance—when the pet of the prize-fighting ring is knocked cold for 13 seconds in seventh round when taking a count of ten seconds 1 means a knockout—no unwashed 1 untutored and cornfed ignoramus should question a one-sided, jug handled, or provincial decision, if two men were to fight before a fair tribunal and -one was * knocked senseless in seventh round and lay up ler repairs long enough for knockout with three to four sec onds to spare; and was floored again in tenth round; even an intel ligent negro for umpire, the verdie: would have gone to Jack Dempsey, i I was at Lattimore community fair, and saw some good hogs, cat tic and poultry. Some of the hogs, the best ones, were in pens; white these of interior grade were walk ing about and criticising Dempsey,! eight months term of schools, and \ other salutary measures. The ex- ! hihits of domestic science pupils j were cf high order, including fancy needlework, tasty and expert car.- ' ning, floral and shrubbery displays, i etc. My friend, S. G. Price, one cf ] the best informed men and one of I the most public-spirited in county j had a genuine cedar of Lebanon so often mentioned in Holy Writ; also century plants and other rare and tasty ornamental exhibits. Among school features, Mr. Mauney de-1 serves special mention by reason of j a well-selected and well-delivered j declamation; and Miss Heafner j proved herself a very gifted reader and reciter. Both these young people showed that they felt the sentiment of their selections. Some smaiie.' children showed some good features, and a piano solo and duet were ele vating and enjoyable features. The last attraction was a scram bling and butting match known vs football. Col. John L. Sullivan, w hile heavyweight pugilist of tno world, a position he held against a:l ccmers and goers for ten or twelve years—declared it was more dan gerous than prize fighting—and I concur in his opinion.

FOR CONSTIPATION Mississippi Man Says He Has Found Hack-Draught So Satisfactory, He Has No Need to Change. Wiggins, Miss.—Mr. A. L. Cone, a well known Wiggins resident, says: "I have used Thedford’s Black Drauglit for constipation. I have never had to take a great deal of medicine, but for folly 30 years I have, by using it, known Black Draught to be a great medicine, and when I found it so satisfactory, I haven’t seen any need to change. "When I get constipated, I feel all out of sorts and tired and sluggish and I take a few doses of Black Draught. It regulates my bowels and I get all right My wife takes more Black-Draught than I do. She is a great believer in it too, so we keep Ft in the house. It will cleanse the system and help you, if yon use it aa we have.” Constipation leads to a great deal of sickness among those who do not understand its dangers, and who neglect to treat it without delay. Black-Draught, with the natural, prompt action of its purely vegeta ble ingredients, quickly relieves constipation and helps to drive out the poisons so aa to leave the organs in a state of healthy activity.
