A Fine Exhibit.
The Northern Pacific Exhibit
car which was here last Friday
contained a fine exhibit of the
products of the great northwest,
but our people should remember
that this exhibit represents the
best that could be selected from
all these great states and should
not be in a hurry to rush off up
there without investigating the
conditions they will find There
was hardly anything in the ex-'
hibit that we could not raise in
Georgia And as for apples,
with the proper care and atten¬
tion.! we can equal anything in
that car right here in Gilmer.
Too many of our good citizens
have already emigrated, only to
find that they have to work har¬
der in a new country than in the
old, and if our folks here would
work intelligently like they have
to work in the west, and get up
and hustle and mix brains with
their! endeavors our section
wou*d fast come to the front.

What Makes A Woman?
One hundred and twenty pounds,
more or less, of bone and muscle don’t
make a woman. Its a good foundation.
Put into it health and strength and she

what Electric Bitters give her.
Thousands bless them for overcoming
fainting and dizzy spells and for dis¬
pelling weakness, nervousness, back¬
ache and tired, listless, worn out feel¬
