Kelly relates an experience similar to that which has happened in almost every neighborhood in the United States, and has been told and re-told by thousands of others. He says: “Last sum mer I had an attack of dysentery and purchased a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which I used according to directions and with entirely satisfactory results. The trouble was controlled much quicker than former attacks when I used Other remedies." Mr. Kelly is a well known citizen of Henderson, S. C. For sale by Holthouse, Callow & Co. j On Education and Crime The Secretary of the Indiana Board of State Charities presented the National Educational Association at Detroit, some interesting statements regarding some of the defects of the inmates of the Indiana Reformatory at Jeffersonville. The institution receives those males who are between 16 and 30 years and havel>een sentenced to prison. A short study was made lof the last 500 inmates received up to and including May 31st 1901. The facts brought out are said to verify those of previous investigations in a striking way. It is generally recognized that the family relations of over half of the inmates of our reformatory institutions have been disturbed. One or both parents are dead or they live apart. The youths have been deprived of home training. The largest proportion are notably deficient in education. Os the 500 studied, 66 or 13.2 percent are reported as illiterate ; 251 or 50.2 percent had not reached the 4th grade in the public schools, and but 26 or 5.2 percent reached high school. 2X2 of all noted were native of Indiana. The proportion of illiteracy was not less in these by almost one half, and a greater numlrer had passed theelementary school work. On the contrary, a slightly less proper tionate number had reached the High School. The stooping shoulders, awk ward arms and shambling gait of these young men indicate plainly a lack of physical training. 406 claim to have no" trades. In these busy times when there is a demand for workmen, 252 state they were unemployed when the crime was committed. Evil associates lead to bad habits. While it is not claimed that those shown were the cause of the crime, it is interesting to note their re lationship to it. 312 use liquor. 374 smoke cigarettes. 409 use tobacco in some form. e

Thirty thousand Epworth Leaguers are at San Francisco. Dr. J. Q. Neptune and family, Miss Bertha Sellemeyer and Fred Heuer drove to the home of the the latters parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Heuer six miles north of the city Sunday. They were rovally entertained, so we are informed. Four freight cars including the caboose were burned in the Clover Leaf yards at Delphos Thursday, caused by a lamp falling to the floor. The loss includes a car of wool pulp, two of cotton and the caboose making a total of ¥5,000. Hon. W. J. Bryan, the silver tongued orator from Nebraska will lecture at Rome City Assembly grounds next Thursday. The rate is ¥I.OO for round trip including entrance fee. Don’t fail to take this in as it will be one of the greatest days in the history of the 1901 assembly. Summer complaint is unusually prevalent among children this season. A well developed case in the writer’s family was cured last week by the timely use of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy one of the best patent medicines manu factored and which is always kept on hand at the home of ye scribe. This is not intended as a free puff for the company, who do not advertise with us, but to benefit little sufferers who may not lie within easy access of a physician. No family should be with out a bottle of this medicine in the house, especially in summer time. — Lansing Journal. For sale by Holthouse, Callow A Co. j jJANK STATEMENT.
