upid darts, which recalled to
many the romantic past and love's
young dream, and sweetened for
others the joys of the present.

feast for thue eye as well as the
inner man. All the good things
of the season were served in pro

E New Orleans, Dec. 20.
3 Railroads in the cotton belt o:
1 the South have announced a rate
of one fare for the round trip' for
3 the mass convention of Southerr
s Cotton assocition to be held in
3 New Orleans January 11, 12, and

I Virginia to Oklahoma, to the
- number of over 3,000, met at
r New Orleans to organize the as
( sociation.
The coning meeting is the first
general con vention to have ber.n
held since the original meeting
and indications point to even a
larger attendence. President
Jordan states that he would like
to see 5,000 delegates at New
Orleans and in view of remark
able and enthusiastic coopera
tion of the cotton producers
.during their I1 months of orga
ization, Mr. Jordan's estimate
may not fall much short of the
desired number. The New Or
leans meeting will be held under
the auspices of the New Orleans
Progressive union and New Or
leans Cotton exchange, who are
defraying all expenses. Secretary
Henry Mayo of the New Orleans
Progressive union announces that
Odd Fellow's hall has been
selected as the meeting place.
This is one of the largest halls
in the city and is on Camp street,
facing the square opposite the
city hall, just five blocks from
Canal street, is well heated and
lighted and convenient to the
various exchanges, the hotels and

The Key That Unlocks the Door to
Long Living.
The men of eighty-five and ninety
years of age are not the rotund, well
fed, but thin. spare men who live-on a
slender diet. Be as careful as he will,
.however, a man past middle age will
occasionally eat too much. or of some
article of food not suited to his consti
tution, and will need a dose of Cham
berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets to
cleanse and invigorate his stomach and
regulate his liver and bowels. When
this is done there is no reason why the
average man should not live to old age.
