(For The Ledger. ] On last Wednesday night, it was our great pleasure to witness the closing exercises of the Bethel ^ school, taught by Miss Daisy Horton, of I Icath Springs. j The church, in which The exercises took place, was tastily deco rated in green and white. The program consisted of recitations, ! dialogues, tableaux, etc. and what', was considered as the best by all, ' the Japanese ban Drill, which demonstrated the skilled training which they had received. Although the weather was very inclement, the house was filled to its utmost capacity, all the seats being occupied and many standing. This had been uppermost in the minds of many, and the unqualified success of the occasion quite repaid for all the thought given to it.

Headache When your head aches, there is a storm in the nervous system, centering in the brain. This irritation produces pain in the head, and the turbulent nerve current sent to the stomach causes nausea, vomiting. This is sick headache, and is dangerous, as frequent and prolonged attacks weaken the brain, resulting in loss of memory, inflammation, epilepsy, fits, dizziness, etc. Allay this stormy, irritated, aching condition by taking Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills. They stop the pain by soothing, strengthening and relieving the tension upon the nerves ?not by paralyzing them, as do most headache remedies. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills do not contain opium, morphine, chloral,cocaine or similar drugs. "Sick headache is hereditary in my family. My father suffered a great deal, and for many years I have had spells that were so severo that I was unable to attend to my business affairs for a day or so at a time.

" Under the present systematic method of gathering statistics by the United States gavernmcnt it will be utterly impossible for the cotton growers to deceive the public as to the amount of cotton acreage put into cultivation during the next 60 days. The United States (lennrfmonf nf 1. VMIWMI. v/l rt^llLUllUlC, through its thousands of correspondent in the cotton belt, will have prepared a carefully tabulated statement, which will be issued on June 3d, stating the number of acres of cotton that will be planted in the south this year. If this report shows a general decrease in acreage of 25 per cent, then the problem of southern prosperity during the year of 1905 will be solved. If, however, the report indicates but a small decrease, or shows practically the same acreage as that of 1904, no power under heaven can stop the immediate downward tenJency in the price of cotton, and financial ruin and disaster will present itself to every line of business and all e - - * * jroiessions in the south within the next eight months.
