The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, October 21,1903. Registration Requisites. Charleston Post, "It is remarkable," said a member of the board of municipal registration commissioners today, "that notwithstanding the number of times that the public have been told of the requisites for securing a certificate, they continue to appear before the board and ask for their requisites, without the required essentials. Prominent business people who would be expected to know better, walk up to the counter and put down -1-3 ncrf and fiT tui U1U iliuuibiyai i/tiuuvuvv. ? pect to have a new certificate issued to them. They get vexed too, when we explain that they should have a county certificate of a date later than 1896, and should also show a receipt for the payment of their taxes. The law prescribes the requisites for registration, we don't, and unless the applicants comply with the law, they will not be registered. Tell the people to throw away their old municipal certificates, for they are now no good, ; jand bring to the cfiice their county certificate and tax receipt, and they will be given a municipal certificate . which will allow them to vote."

TJncle Billy's Definitions. CoL Evan P. Howell, mayor of Atlanta, tells a story of one "Uncle Billy," the autocrat and knowall of the country settlement in which h6 lived. Uncle Billy had to live up to the reputation of never having been fifnmnAri hv a nnestion. One dav at r? -j - -i the country store, where Uncle Billy and his clan were wont to gather, the question was sprung as to the meaning of "eleemosynary," the word being encountered in a newspaper one of the men was readings Uncle Billy was finally appealed to. The old man took the paper, scrutinized the word, reflected a full minute and then said, with his usual sententiousness: >4Wall, boys, I can't say adzackly - what this word means, but it's some part of the innards of a hog."

Good roads iocrease both the price of land and the farmers' income. Tbey afford the farmer a chance to take advantage of every rise in the market, and they save to the consumer the added cost of hauling. A farmer living in the wheat belt of Kansas paid for the improvement of a section of road running ten miles from his farm to town, says the Horseman. His neighbors laughed at him and refused to assist in the expense. But the farmer owned several thousand acres, and he figured his annual loss would soon repay him. -He also believed that his neighbors could soon be forced to realize the folly of their claims that good roads would not pay if the farmers had to spend the money for improvement themselves. This farmer got his money back the first year, for every farmer living along the route raised a big crop. When the wet weather set in, the price of grain went up. Had the roads been in their usual muddy condition few of them would have been able to get their wheat to market, but as it was all took advantage of the raise. They are stern advocates of good roads now. Indeed the whole community has been converted to the be- J lief. Slew Husband and Kiss Corpse.

Two ribs were completely severed. When she saw what she had done, the woman, crazed and grief stricken, fell upon his body and was coverLg it with caresses and kisses when the police came.

Berlin, October 14 ?An odd case lese majeste is reported from Meiden, Bavaria, against a priest who refused to administer communion to a sick person until a portrait of the Empress was removed, on the ground that her dress, which waB low cut, was ''an evil spectacle for youth." The priest also ordered out the Emperor's picture, alleging that both portraits belonged together. The State's attorney caused the priest's indictment: Many Mothers of a Like Opinion, Mrs. Pilmer, of Cordova, Iowa, says: "One of my children was subject to croup of a severe type, and the giving of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy promptly, always brought relief. Many mothers in this neighborhood think the same as I do about this remedy and want no other kind for their chidren." For Bale by The Ksufmann Drug Co.

A motion was introduced to the effect that a movement be started to change the words of the song and substitute some which might be a bit more serious, and a panic almost ensued. Grayhaired men in old gray uniforms climbed on chairs and protested, saying that the wonderful old song had been good enough for them once upon a time and was good enough for them now. The words may not be all that can be desired, but there is something about the song that makes people here in the North as well as those down South want to get up on their feet and do things. The motion was voted down by rv r\r\r\ i _ 1 10 x. Confessions of a Priest. Rev. Jno. S. Cox, of Wake, Ark., writes, "For 12 years I Buffered from Yellow Jaundice.

A woman's smile does not always mean a woman's approval. Man's devotion to woman sometimes takes the form of madness. Women destroy their power over a man by an arbitrary exercise of it. When a woman finds a man is "siDgy*' she takes delight in drawing him into extravagances. Some men see a funny side to the most serious situation. The man who growls at his sisters can be the fairest to other girls. Girls talk about their brothers as though it were an honor to have r\ m UliCUJi Men imagine their doings form the biggest part of women's gossip. Spent More Than $1,000. W. W. Baker, of Biainview, Neb., writes: "My wife Buffered from lung trouble for fifteen years. She tried a number of doctors and spent over $1000 without relief. She became very low and lost all hope. A friend recommended Foley's Honey and Tar and thanks to this great remedy it saved her life. She eDjoys better health than she has known in ten years." Refuse substitutes. The Kaufmann Drug Co.
