His Life Was Saved-
Mr. J. £. Lilly, a prominent citizen
of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a won-
derful deliverance from a frightful
death. In telling of it he says: "I
was taken with Typhoid Fever, that
ran into Pneumonia. My lungs be-
came hardened. I was se weak I
couldn't even sit up ia bed. Nothing
helped me. I expected to soon die
of Consumption, when I heard of Dr.
King's New Discovery. One bottle
gave great relief. I continued to use
ft., and now atn well and strong. I
can't say too much in its praise."
This marvellous medicine is the sur-
est and quickest cure in the .world for
all throat and lung trouble."; Regu-
lar sizes 60 cents and $1.00. Trial
bottles free at H. B. Lewis' drug
stpre; every bottle guaranteed. •
The School Elections.
On last Saturday a portion of
school district No. 1 held air elec-
tion to sepprate from said dis-
trict. This number not being, a
majority of all the votes in the
district, as the law directs, is held
for naught, therefore they are still
a part of district No. 1.
On last Tuesday an election was
held in Seymour for the purpose
of abolishing the school corpora-
tion of said town and becoming a
part of school district No. 1, as of
old. The result of said election
follows:
For abolishing corporation 126
Against abolishing corporation 26
A pretty nice majority for the
anti-corporation people. Seymour
is now a part and parcel of dis-
trict No. 1, where it will no doubt
remain for some time to come—at
least until the town is able, from
a taxable valuation standpoint, to
sustain a corporation.
The trustees of district No. 1
are Jess Cockrell, T. A. Fancher
and Chas. Randall.
You remember trouble and
time lost last season in buying

The . hospitable home of Mr.

D. Carney, was worse. Lee called

We visited the wheat fields im-
mediately west of town a few
days ago and find that the pros-
pect for a large yield Is very
bright and if there is no hail, wind
or other destruction, the yield
will be very large, probably 20
bushels to the acre without any
more rain.
Health, strength and nerye force

Liver Medicine, which insures good
digestion and assimilation.
Gospel Meetings.
C. W. Byron will begin a series
of Gospel meetings at Seymour
on or about June 24th to con-
tinue about ten days.
Brother Byron is no stranger to
the people of Seymour and needs
no introduction at our hands, he
has a warm place in the hearts of
very many Christians here who
will doubtless hail his coming
among us with great joy.
While Brother Byron comes
at the solicitation of Bro. A. S.
Carver, pastor of the Presbyterian
church of Seymour, these meet-
ings are not in any way calculated
to represent any special cliurch,
sect, denomination, party, move-
ment or 'ism, nor are they devoted
to the promulgation of any set
creed, doctrine or body of theolo-
gy. It is not expected to convert
Seymour, nor even to win Sey-
mour for Jesus, but to gather out
from among the people of this
country "a people for His name,"
(Acts 15:14 and Gal. 1:4). It will
not seek to enthrone Jesus any-
wheie but in the hearts of men
and strive to have individuals re-
generated by the Holy Ghost
through repentance and faith.
All Christians, of whatever de-
nomination, to whom this object
appeals are repuested to pray for
and aid in the work, We extend
a hearty invitation to all the peo-
ple.
Services will be conducted in a
large tent of ample seating ca-
pacity.
Yours in Him,
J. C. Zieglee,
Temporary Chairman of Commit-
tee.

No Right to Ugliness-
The woman who ia lovely in face
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be at-
tractive must keep her health. If
she is weak, sickly and all run down,
she will be nervous and irritable. If
she has constipation or kiduey trou-
ble, her impure blood will cause pim-
ples, blotches, skiu eruptions and a
wretched complexion. Electric Bit-
ters is the best medicine in the world
to regulate stomach, liyer and kidney
and to purify the blood. It gives
strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth,
velvety skin, rich complexion. It
will make a good-looking, charming
woman of a run-down invalid. Only
60 cents at H. B. Lewis' drug store.
The penitentiary agent paseed

Frank Knight has opened a
grocery store on the north side of
the square in the building recent-
ly vacated by Scott & Foster. He

dict for him success.

The BUCKSKIN BREECHES
are good at the start and they stay
good longer than any Jeans pants
made. After we found that they
wore the best, we started in for fit

pants as to wear, and then they fit
and look better than many custom
made dress pants. Our cutters are
experts. Ask your dealer about
them.

An Epidemic of Whooping Cough.
Last winter during an epimsmic of
whooping cough my children con-
tracted the disease, having severe
coughing spells. We had used Cham-
berlain's Cough Remedy very suc-
cessfully for croup and naturally
turned to it at that time and found it
relieved the cough and effected a
compite cure.—John E. Clifford, pro-
prietor Norwood House, Norwood,
N. Y. This remedy is for sale by
H. B. Lewis druggist.
