The matter is be ; ing investigated. Douglasville should have a street railway from Atlanta right away. If one could be constructed it would build up Douglasville so as to have four or five thousand inhabitants. How many will decide, the minute they read this, to paint their premises wit.m the next 60 or 90 days? Get ready to buii l your brick houses in Douglasville. You’ll soon need 'Them.

The work of changing the Douglasville Telephone exchange from over the store of Upshaw Bros, to one of the rooms over the Selman drug store is being car ried on to completion by Mr. Z. T. Adams. Mr. Adams is a hus tler and the interest of the Gainesboro Telephone Company isJiW ays uppermost in his mind. M town is always judged by its general appearence. A few hun dred dollars spent in cleaning un the various dwellings in Doug lasville, and repainting all the houses would greatly add to the appearance of the town, and not only this but it would be a great saving to the property owner. No amount of money spent in any other way would add as much value as th* painting of all the houses and fences.

Rgl IHE above picture of the man and fish is the trade mark of Scott’s Emulsion, and is the synonym for strength and purity. It is sold in almost all the ciyilized coun tries of the globe. If the cod fish became extinct it would be a world-wide calam ity, because the oil that comes from its liver surpasses all other fats in nourishing and life-giving properties. Thirty years ago the proprietors of Scott’s Emu]- sion found away of preparing cod liver oil so that everyone cai take it and get the full value d) the oil without the objectionabl taste. Scott’s Emulsion is th» best thing in the world for weak backward children, thin, delicate people, and ad conditions oi wasting and lost strength. Send for free s&mple.
