A NEGRO EXODlUS. Thie Colored People Driveni Out of Morgan Park, Ililnois, on Account of Lawlessness.

Several families have already left, taking withI them whatever goods they couldl conv'enienitly carry, and it is expected that others will follow~ their examplle. Th'le ot dier to leave. is the outcome of t he mnurder- of Chief of Police Airey on Saturday night by Mack WViley, who, with several of his colored friends, wvas out on a ilallowe'in ir >lic Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, No one who is acquainted wvith its goodl qualities can be suir prised at the great p)opularity of Chaimberlain 's Cough Remedy. It not only cures colds and grip effectually and perma nently, but prevents these diseases from resulting in pneumonia. It is also 1 a certain cure for croup. Whooping cough is not dangerous wvhen this rem- 1 edy is given. It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adutlt. It is also pleasant to take. When all of these facts are taken nt consideLration it is not surprising that people in foreign lands, as wvell as at h ome , esteem this remedy very highly andl very few are wvilling to take any other after having once usedl it.
