TIME OF
WAR!!!
When uncertainties take the place of confidence the
volume of business of this house is not reduced. The
reason is this: THE PUB LI S MUST
ECONOMi ZE. The commodities are high and
money is scarde. The most natural thing for them to
do, then, is to go to the house that has a reputation for
giving the greotest returns for amount expended. We
have that reputation and expect to sustain it.

Robbed the Grave.
A’startling incident of which Mr. John
I Oliver of Philadelphia was the subject, is
parratecf by him as follows: “I was in a
most dreadful condition. My skin was al
most yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in back and sides; no ap
petite—gradually growing weaker day by
day. Three physicians had given me up.
Fortunately a friend advised trying “Elec
tric Bitters.” and to my great joy and sur
prise the first bottle made a decided Im
provement. I continued their use for three
weeks and am Jipw a well man. I know
they saved my life ngd robbed the grave
of another victim.” No mis should fail to
try them. Only 50c per bottle at 11. J- La

little son are having a pleasant visit to
Miss Adah Evans, of Milledgeville. A
Milledgeville paper has the following ac
count of a card party given in Mrs. Sta

“One of the most charming affairs ot
the past week was the card party with
which Miss Evans complimented her
friend, Mrs. Stapler, of Macon. The first
prize, a beautiful memoranda tablet, was
won by Mrs. Stapler. The consolation, cut
for by all was won by Miss Miller. After
the game delicious refreshments were
served on the lawn, the airy summer toil
ets of the ladies amid the green foliage,
making a lovely picture. Mrs. Stapler, who
is remembered so pleasantly in Milledge
ville as Miss Stevens, has been the recip
ient of many charming social attentions.
