SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP Cored by One Bottle of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. “When I had ati attack of the grip last winter (the second one) I actually cured myself with one bot tle of Chamberlain’s Cough Rem edy,” says Frank W. Perry, editor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N. >Y. “This is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing my self to pieces by taking a teaspoon ful of this remedy, and when the coughing spell would come on at night I would take a dose and it seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and I would go to sleep perfectly free from cough and its accompanying pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most agreeable surprise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that it could or would knock out the grip, simply because I had never tried it for such a purpose, but it did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the rem edy caused it to not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottle before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu.” For sale by L.

Killarney, Ga., March 14, ’O3 Editor Early County News : Corn planting is the leading act on the program now. Wonder if spring has really come or is this weather flirting with it? We are glad to note that little Bryant Tool, who has been quite sick with pneumonia is rapidly re covering under the treatment of Dr. Crozier. Since our last the people of this community met at Springfield and cleaned off the cemetery. It helps the looks very much. It will soon be enclosed by a wire fence. We are very sorry to note the serious illness of Ida McMullen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. McMullen. She is suffering very much with lung fever at this writ ing. We hope for her a speedy re covery. We rejoice wfith Oil in the pros perity of his section of the country. It shows that the boys down there are not letting the grass grow un der their feet. And by the way. Oil, if you will come over here you will not find the farmers napping or fishing just now. We noticed Mr. E. H. Hayes a few days ago, stepping two or three cotton rows at a step, with a smile on his face that could not be equaled. We could not imagine what was the matter. But we soon found out that it was a fine baby girl, who had recently taken up her abode at his house. It does not take a philospher or a Solomon to see our part of the country is in need of more yo # ung men who are throughly capable of attending to business. The busi ness world needs young men who think, who are reliable and are not afraid to work. We saw a mer chant some time ago. We told him that he would not be put to any trouble in finding one. He says, “Oh, no, I can find a dozen this morning, but not such as I want. I want a young man who has some business qualifications about him.” Young man life is real, and he who would be success ful must labor and think. You can not always draw on your fath er’s bank account. The time will come when you must root hog or die. Carolus. Gelatine, Corn Starch, Macaroni, Postum, Grape Nuta and fresh Oat Meal at Martin’s.
