An Informal “At Home.” \
The following was prepared for
the last issue of the News, but by
accident was left out of the forms
of the paper:
Mrs. Arthur Gray Powell was
the hostess at a very informal “At
Home,” on Monday afternoon, in
compliment to Mrs. E. C. Gunn,
of Cuthbert, Ga. The home was
attractive and springlike, and the
affair a very delightful one, regard
less of having been arranged in a
few hours. Mrs. Powell was, as
usual, a charming entertainer. Her
guests on this happy occasion,
composed of the younger married
ladies were, Mrs C. E. Boyett,
Mrs. E. C. Gunn, Mrs. Walter
Thomas, Mrs. C. A. Garrett, of
Houston, Tex, Mrs. Jno. Under
wood, Mrs. J. H. Hand, Mrs. Char
ley Deal, Mrs. Wyatt Alexander,
Mrs. A. G. Seay, Mr 6. A. D. Har
ris, Mrs. Fetzer, of Atlanta, Mrs.
E. L. Fryer, Jr.
Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident, is narrated
by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as
follows: “I was in an awful con
dition. My skin was almost yel
low, eyes sunken, tongue coated,
pain continually in back and sides,
no appetite, growing weaker day
by day. Three physicans had
given me up. Then I was advised
to use Electric Bitters ; to my great
joy, the first bottle made a decided
improvement. I continued their
use for three weeks, and am now a
well man. I know they robbed
the grave of another victim.” No
one should fail to try them. Only
50 cents, guaranteed, at L. C.
Strong’s drug store.

Bryant’s barber shop, Lee Strick

you wish it to go to Dothan.

is a never failing sign of a healthy
stomach. When the breath is bad
the stomach is out of order. There
is no remedy in the world equal to
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for curing
indigestion, dyspepsia and all stom
ach disorders. Mrs. Mary S. Crick,
of White Plains, Ky., writes: “I
have been a dyspeptic for years—
tried all kinds of remedies but con
tinued to grow worse. By the use
of Kodol I began to improve at
once, and after taking a few bot
tles am fully restored in weight,
health and strength and can eat
whatever I like. Kodol digests

Cotton chopping is the by word

Mr T. R. McDonuld, our clever
tax collector, was in our burg last
Monday
Mr. J. T. McMullen made a

Mr. Lester Collins and wife, of

and Sunday.
The public schools of the State

the monotony of the poor peda

We presume that the young lady
from Valdosta, who left her home
one day last week for the Klon
dyke region, a distance of seven
thousand miles, to marry a man
whom she had never seen had a
very cold reception ; in the change
of climate we mean.
President Roosevelt is now a re
clu) e in the Yellow Stone National
Park. Poor fellow, we guess that
he needs all the rest that he can
get. South Carolina and Missis
sippi have been making it pretty
lively for him for the past six
months. But the half has never
been told unless he changes his
Southern colored policy.
Bill Snipes says that “the rab
bits, goats, fleas and cats are
enough to worry the patience of
old Father Job.” The rabbits
seemed to have emigrated from
here during the fall and winter,
but they are coming back this
spring in droves. It is not an un
common thing to see three or four
in a bunch chasing each other.
Now, this is no tale; I haven’t
been a fishing, neither have I been
a rabbit hunting, but Billie has,
and he got the rabbits, too. They
are ruining the young vegetables.
You could hardly blame Billie if
you were to hear him talking some
times like he had mashed his finger
with a hammer. Carolus.
