The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, October 5, 1904. Se "Cssd Bible Every Sunday. Stories of surprises in cross examination were exchanged in a small group of men the other day, nearly all of which had been, published in the newspapers, and the following was sprung by an Illinois man: "Years ago one of the prominent lawyers of central Illinois was D. G. Tannicliff, afterwards justice of the State supreme court. Tunnicliff was a great wit and a very smooth article on cross examination. He did not often get the worst of it from any* body. He seldom attempted bull UOZiUg III Croats eAHUJiuatiuu, uuu c^old back an unwary man into almost any admission. **One day TunDicliff bad an eld farmer named Dave Brown on tbe opposite side and the value of the eld man's testimony depended upon bis claim that he could not read. It was believed that he could read a little end TunDicliff tried to trsp him. After several adroit efforts which old Dave neatly sidestepped, the lawyer changed the subject and wandered sway from the leading question. Suddenly he asked: fc'Have you a Bible in your home, Mr. Brown?" "Yes, sir, a family Bible. Had it for years." "X am glad to bear that. Every good man should have a Bible in his home. You use your Bible, I hope?" "Yes, sir. X use it regular." "That's right. A good man should use his Bible often. About how often do you use your Bible?" "Every Sunday morning, sir" said the old man, with apparent interest. "Every Sunday morning. That is commendable. There is no more appropriate time for usiDg the Bible than on the Sabbath morning. And what So you use your Bible for on Sabbath- morning?" "To strop my razor, sir." ??t ? There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years^was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to b8 a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Go, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonfal. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for particulars and testimonials. Address: F. J.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: I am still enjoying the mountain breezes and drinking the sparkling water and eating the delicious peaches and big red apples of north Arkansas.

If yuu will give me space in your valuable paper I will try to give you as correct a description as I can / later. v I will mention a few South Carolinians who live near here.

The New York State Democratic convention, in session at Saratoga during Tuesday and Wednesday, adjurned on Wednesday after apparently harmonizing all the differences that had existed in the party. D. Cady Herrick of Albany, at present a Jus tice of the btate bupreme Court, was Dominated for Governor and Francis Barton Harrison, at present a representative in Congress from the Thirteenth district, was nominated for Lieutenant Governor. The nomination of Herrick was in the nature of a compromise, which is said to be satisfactory to all concerned. The work of the St. Louis convention was endorsed and a resolution was adopted pledging the electoral vote of the state of New York to Alton B. Parker and Henry G. Davis. It the New York Democrats are really in earnest about getting together, it is easily possible for them to carry the state for Parker and Bavip, and i? New York goes Democratic, there will be a close rub for victory. Confessions of a Priest. Rev. Jno. S. Cox, of Wake, Ark., writes, "For 12 years I suffered from Yellow Jaundice. I consulted a number of physicians and tried all sorts of medicines, but got no relief. Then I began the use of Electric Bitters and feel that I am now cured of a disease that bad me in its grasp for twelve years."

Union Times. It does seem a waste of time and words to volunteer advice to the farmers of the South. We have not been alone, nor have we given advice based upon our opinion, unsupported by the published facts as to the holding of cotton and not selling during the months of September and October. In consequence of not heeding such advice cotton has gone down in price, based upon the number of bales marketed up to this time in excess of this time last year, being at least two hundred thousand bales. Some Seasonable Advice. It may be a piece of superflous advice to urge people at this season of the year to lay in a supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is almost sure to be needed before winter is over, and much mere prompt j and satisfactory results are obtained I | when taken as soon as a cold is coni tracted and before it has become settled in the system, which can only ! be done by keeping the remedy at hand. This remedy is so widely known and so altogether good that I nn one should hesitate about huvinn b ( at in preference t.o any other. It is | for sale by The Kaufmann Drug Co. j j ? * [ If you would be popular, don't tell i your troubles. It is time enough to get married when a man has got tired of spend! ing his money on himself. jL Groca Joke. i I j "I heard a good joke on a promiI nent railroad official the other day," i I j i said George Sparks, of Cincinnati, j who was a guest at the Albion today. | "This particular man was general j ^ passenger agent and he confcemplat- j j ed moving to another town. He * wanted to get a certain bouse about which he been in consultation with a j; real estate dealer, so when he decided ?. to take that particular house he wired to the station agent, signing his name G. P. A., to attend to the final 1 j arrangements for him and see about ^ renting the bouse. The agent bad j given him only a limited time in j (whicb to exercise his option on the j ^ bouse and for this reason he was es- j . pesially enxious that the business j should be settled at once. To fcis ! * \ surprise and anger be received this 1 message from the station agent: I; 'The G. P. A- can G. T. H.' "Wild with anger, the general pas- r eenger agent, ready to fire the man who bad told him to change bis abode to a warmer climate, jumped . on the next train and went to town. He made a rush for the station agent, t who dodged and asked what the | a matter was. The explanation was given in angry tpnes, when the agent said: n "Why, I didn't mean anything excent that the eenerel Daseeaeer 1 " 1 " r agent can get fcbe bouse."?Exchange. a A Judicious Inquiry. A well known traveling man who j visits the drug trade says be has often heard druggists inquire of customers who asked for a cough med- ^ icine, whether it was wanted for a D child or for an adult, and if for a a child they almost invariably recom- 8 mend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. ^ The reason for this is that they know ^ there is no ^aDger from it and that 11 it always cures. There is not the least danger in giving it, aDd for coughs, colds aDd croup it is unsur- \ passed. For sale by The Kaufmann Drug Co. ^ t It Was His. E A small boy was telling his mother 1 of a mishap which had occurred to a playmate of his.

But, said the narrator, ^ they succeeded in relieving him. 1 "Oh," said his mother, "you got it out, did you?" "Naw," was the impatient answer; "we shoved it down; it was his, 1 a.
