Dispensary Wanted at Port Valley.
A Port Valley correspondent
says in the Macon Telegraph that
there is a strong sentiment there
in favor of a dispensary iu Port
Valley. The writer says a peti
tion addressed ^Representatives
Richardson and Brown is being
circulated. The petition, as pub
lished in the Telegraph Tuesday
morning, is as follows:
"*“We, the undersigned citizens,
taxpayers and qualified voters of
Fort Valley and vicinity respect-
i ^at you introduce iu
the legislature and have passed an
act to establish and maintain a
dispensary for the sale of whisky,
beer and other intoxicants iu the
town of Fort Valley.
“That there is a profound senti
ment among our best citizens fa
voring th$ establishment'of such
at this place is evidenced by the
signatures below.
“That Port Valley is being fi
nancially sapped and no moral
good-accomplished by the present
local option law is clearly indi
cated by the following facts which
are respectfully submitted for
your careful consideration, and
while the figures are not absolute
ly, they are approximately, cor
rect.
“There is paid at 25 cents a
package about $1,600 a year for
express charges on whiskiy ship
ped to this point. This $1,600
representing 6,400 packages, or
rather, gallons of whiskey as it
does, means at the minimum
price of $2 per gallon, $12,800.
The postage and cost fotf money
orders on the above 6,400 pack
ages at 5 cents each represents
$320.
“Prom the foregoing it will be
seen that the people of Port Val
ley and immediate vicinity pay
each year:
For whiskey $12,800
For express on same 1,600
For postage and money orders 820
Making a grand total of $14,720
“The above is a constant and
heavy drain on the resources of
individuals and goes to the en
richment of adjoining couuties ab
Houston’s expense.
“The establishment of a dis
pensary here would not only save
the $1,920 paid as tribute to the
express company and postffice,
bub the profit accruing from the
sale thereof would remain in the
county, where it properly belongs,
and make possible the reduction
of taxation or the inauguration
of many much needed public util
ities.
“Under the present system our
county is constantly put to the
expense of prosecuting violators
of the local option ' law. With
the establtshment of a well-reg
ulated dispensary, ‘blind tigers’,
which for the last two decades,
have been plying their nefarious
trade in and around here—a men
ace to the morals and health of
the community—would almost,
if not entirely, disappear.
“Therefore, we most urgently
but respectfully request that you
as our immediate representatives,
introduce a measure as suggested
above, believing as we do that it
will not only tend to lessen
wrong-doing and reduce taxation
but otherwise have a salutary ef
feet on the community in gener
al.”

TO LADIES OF HOUSTON.
Ladies and Gentlemen, when
you visit Macon remember you
will find the ouly strictly first
class Restaurant, patronized by
the best people in the city, up
stairs over Isaac’s former Cafe
Third street, under the manage
ment of Mrs. Geo Scherer, where
she solicits your patronage. She
has engaged extra cooks and wait
ers, and will see you are promptly
served. She works faithfully to
build up this establishment, and
is highly appreciated by the Ma
con people. Macon wanted it and
she got it. Oct. 23 4t.
WE HAVE BEEN
LOOKING...
For several years for a case of Piles,
Boils, Outs, Burns, Braises, Sore and
Fevered Breast, Old Sores, Insect Bite
or Sting, Ringworm or Tetter, that mrs.
Pope’s Mullen Salve would not
cure, but so far we have been agreeably
disappointed. The verdict of all who
have used it is that it’s the one quick,
absolute and perfect healer. Nothing on
earth like it. Nothing sensational or
fakey about it. It stands on its merit.
It is put up in a neat and pretty pack
age. Use it. Your money back if you
are not satisfied. If your druggist does
not have it in stock,send us 50 cents and
vre will send yon a large box by mail.

For several years past we have sold Tennesse Mules,
and from what our customers tell us and from our own
observation, we are satisfied these mules are worth
from $15.00 to |25.00 more than the Western muhs,
and they do not cost our customers a penny more.
The mules we sell are raised in ihe mountains of Ten
nessee and are stronger and hardier than the Western
mules, and are well broke and will stand as much work
the first year as the second. Owing to the tact that our
expenses are light, we are prepared to save you money.
Remember, all the mules we sell are guaranteed to be
all right, or your money will be refunded. We will
have in a car of these mules*^November 1st, next. Call
and see them.
