sixteen wagons left this place
for the lumber yards of Decatur
for a complete bill of lumber for
the erection of the Lee Thomas
educational institute. The en-
terprise is headed by the three
efficient trustees and the build,
ing committee, who know no fail-
ure. and their watchword is on-
ward and upward, and their
greatest desire is for the educa
tion and advancement of the
youths of our land. It is not the
desire or wish of Lee Thomas to
injure other good institutions of
learning, but we do propose to
prepare the youths f jr a full col
legiate course.
For pretty girls, intelligent
boys and fine horses we claim to
be second to none. If any young
people who read this have mat-

see us, as we are a happy and

make others happy.

MERCURY RESFMENF
Mercury and potash are very deceptive treatments and the blood pois’on
sufferer who depends on them for a cure is sure to be disappointed. These
minerals will remove the external symptoms and shut the disease up in the
system for a while, but the trouble will surely return and the loathsome
symptoms of sore mouth and throat, copper-colored spots, falling hair, sores
and ulcers etc., will be accompanied by the disastrous effects of th*
treatment. The continued use of these strong minerals will completely ruin
the health and weaken the system to such an extent that the original
disease often becomes incurable and sometimes fatal. Mercury
and potash eat out the delicate lining of the stomach and bowels,
destroy the gastric juices, producing chronic dyspepsia, cause mercurial

more weight and importance than any
