"A " with a population^^* under 10,000 plans to realize the dream next summer by the enforcement of an ordinance enacted by the city commission which offers an example to every community which makes the wellbeing and comfort of its citizens one of its foremost considerations. The commission, after studying the problem from all angles, has ruled ' that no resident of McPherson shall be allowed to keep more than onej horse, one cow or one hog within the corporate limits. All barns, stables, chicken houses and even dog houses, must be cleaned three times a week and refuse removed outside the city. rxT-hor* mpans will be available for its destruction. Every merchant must J place wire flytraps at the front and rear entrances of his plaec of business and all citizens must take similar precautions in their homes under penalty of incurring a fine.?Providence journal (Ind.) . If We Did?But We Don't Sonieone has said: "If we noticed little pleasures As we notice little pains; If we quite forgot our losses And remembered all our gains; If we looked for people's virtues. And their faults refused to see; What a comfortable, happy, , Cheerful place this world would "K jr.be." is ji OUR TIES WITH TUNISIA. "A visit to a fruit store with its dates, oranges, lemons and almonds; the singing of 'Home, Sweet Home*; the theological ackground of the services at any Christian church?these are some of the links that bind an American, though he may be unaware of it, to desert-fringed Tunisia." With this introduction the National Geographic Society issues from its Washington, D. C., headquarters a ulletin on the regency of Tunis, one 1 of the three North African countries which the French contemplate placing under a single administrative control. "In Oak Hill Cemetery in Washing- J' ton lies uried John Howard Payne, the homeless actor and author of 'Home, Sweet Home,' whose first rest"lono iroc l'n thp Citv of Tunis. 111S |/A?,v ^ U UO +* * V.v v where he died while he was American consul at the Tunisian capital. A :omb like that erected to him in Washington marks his former grave in Tunis. Africa's "Farthest Xorth ** "Agriculture is the chief industry of the region, about the size of the State of Mississippi, which lies between the Mediterranean and the Sahara, and projects farther north than any other point in Africa. Citrus fruits, almonds and pistachio nuts form a large proportion of its exports. Cork and henna are other important products. 'Some 10 miles from Tunis are the ruins of Carthage, cradle of Christian theology where St. Augustine, most influential of the fathers of the early Latin Church, taught rhetoric and . produced important dogmatic writings. The practical lady traveler who assured her companions that the site of Carthage was bound to 'come back' because it afforded excellent sites for hotels and such splendid opportunity for a golf course between it and Tunis was more accurate in geography than imbued with reference. The harbors wheh Appian described still are to be seen; the rest of the city has succumbed to Cato's edic, 'Delenda Es' j Carthago.' v" ' . Once Rivaled Rome "The present thriving City of Tunis, however, is reputed to be older ' than Carthage, one-time rival of Rome both in importance and corruption. Indeed, to . the Roman world the. littoral of Tunisia was Africa. The very word 'Africa' is a Latinized form of ' the erber name for this region, 'Ifriqa.' The gypsies of Africa, the Ber- ! Vnvra fttiii are to be found in Tunisia, practically unchanged and unchangeable as when they defied Roman power and Augustinian persuasion. ' Even today Tunisia is an unconquered ' cohntry, since France assumed a pro- ' tectorate upon native invitation. v "Tunis might be called a roofed-over city. Many of its streets are wholly or partly arched over, and its famous bazaar is a vast market place under cover. The women folk of the caty are striking to the first time visitor, whether they be rotund Jewesses, with pantaloons and funnel-like hats, or ladies of the Arab harem, completely obscured by clothes, or the bronzed, lithe figures of Berber girls. The attire of the men often is more colorful. Their love of colors, especially of lighter and more delicate shades, gives a chromatic impression of an American city's Easter parade. * "A physical curiosity of Tunisia are the salt lakes, on the edges of Sahara, which, at a distance, have the appearance of placid sheets of water, or ice-covered ponds, if one's imagination could free itself from thought of the blazing sun.' Closer inspection discloses dred' mud, encrusted with salt. For several months an the year rainfall converts these glazed areas into impassable marshes." NOTICE TAXPAYERS. All persons who have not brought in their road work receipt are urged to do so at once, and overseers are asked to bring their records to the office and check same over with the county treasurer. There are approximately r>,000 persons who have not paid their taxes for the past year, and these are requested to do so at once, as the tax books close June 1. It is impossible for the treasurer to wait on so large a number in a few days, so those who can are urged to come as soon as possible. The books close June 1. after which time an additional nenalty j is added, and on September f execu- j tions will be issued and placed in i the hands of the sheriff. W. J. SMITH, County Treasurer.

It comes on suddenly and is quite painful. Every movement aggravates the disease. Go to bed, keep quiet and have ChamberIain's Liniment applied and a quick recovery may be expected. Mrs. F. J. Dann, Brockport, N. Y.. writes: "T can honestly say that Chamberlain's Liniment cured me of lumbago a year ago last summer. When I egan using it, I was flat on my back in bed and could not turn to the left or right. I had a bottle of Chamberlain's Lini- ' ment in the house and this was applied to my back. It promptly drove ; away the pains and aches." j CALOMEL SALIVATES I AND LOOSENS TEETH. I ? i j The Wry Next Dose of this Treacher- ; ous Drug: may Start Trouble. You know what calomel is. It's mercury; quicksilver. tfalomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like ' dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and j should never be put into your system. Jf you feel bilious, headachy, consti- j pated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents which . is a harmless vegetable substitute for i dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful " and if it doesn't start your liver and | straighten you up better and quicker J than nasty calomel and without making you sick you jus.t go back and get yott? money. Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day's work. Dodson's iver Tone straight- 1 ens you right up and you feel great. No salts necessary. Give it to the children ecause it is perfectly harmless and can not salivate. CITATION NOTICE. > State of South Carolina, County of Lexington.?By "VV. F. Hook, esquire, probate judge.
