Why Suffer So ?
Why suffer from a bad back, from
sharp, shooting twinges, headaches,
dizziness and distressing urinary
ills? Blakely people recommend
Doan’s Kidney Pills. Ask your neigh
bor! Could you ask for stronger
proof of merit?
Mrs. Emily Herring, N. Main st.,
Blakely, says: “My kidney trouble
was caused from a cold that settled
in my kidneys. There was a pain in
my back from the time I got up in
the morning until I went to bed.
I am obliged to be on my feet a
good deal of the time at the store
and this made the trouble worse.
Sharp, stabbing pains in my back,
caused no end of trouble and a
catch seized me whenever I stoop
ed. Severe headaches were frequent
and left me with dizzy spells, when
everything seemed to be whirling.
This made me nervous and irritable.
I made up my mind to try Doan’s
Kidney Pills and two boxes was all
I needed. Doan’s cured me and I be
lieve the cure is lasting.”

Thursday anil Friday
BLAKELY VS. AMERICUS
This gang took two games from Blakely last week.
It can’t be done again. New strength has been added to
the Blakely club and the fans will have the pleasure of
seeing the Sumter county lads “bite the dust” Thursday
and Friday afternoon. We are going to break this losing
streak and show these teams that Blakely is still in the
running.
Any town can stick by a winning team, but it takes a
game town like Blakely to stick while the luck is breaking
badly.
We are still in the running. Just watch us come to
the front.
WILL LAUNCH TWO
NEWSTEAMSHIPS
Two new steamships, to be known
as “The City of Chattanooga” and
the “City of Birmingham,” will be
launched by the Ocean Steamship
Company in July and August. Each
will be of 6500-ton capacity, twenty
per cent larger than the best of the
eight ships now in service, and each
will cost one million dollars. They
are equipped for quick handling of
freight and contain enlarged and
superior accommodations for passen
ger travel.
In speaking of these ships Presi
dent W. A. Winburn, of the Central
of Georgia Railway calls attention
to the advantages of rail and water
transportation as provided by the
Central and its coastwise connec
tions. This service began operation
as early as 1848; and provided cheap
and expeditious transportation for
light and heavy freight originating
at the marekts along the eastern
seaboard and for the products of the
south moving northward. The ser
vice proved of real value to the
business world and has grown in
importance until now there are
eight ships in the fleet, with sailings
between Savannah and New York
three times per week; Savannah and
Boston twice daily. The Merchants
& Miners Transportation Company,
an independent company, has sail
ings twice a week between Savan
nah, Baltimore and Philadelphia. It
has just put two new ships into ser
vice.
More than twenty thousand pas
sengers annually use the ships of
the Ocean Steamship Company, and
its freight service enjoys an exten
sive patronage not only in the south
east, but as far west as Colorado
and Utah.

SUPT. THOMPSON
COMPLETES HIGHWAY
Superintendent Thompson has put
the finishing touches on the Federal
highway on the Colquitt road to the
Miller county line. He gave the
whole ten mile stretch a final scrap
ing Tuesday and is daily expecting
the Federal and State highway en
gineers to make their inspection
and take the highway over for main
tenance. Those who have gone over
it recently pronounce it a fine
stretch of road, a credit to the
Superintendent Thompson and to
Engineer Paul.
Only the paving on Cuthbert street
and Bainbridge street in the city
limits remains to be done to com
plete the Federal highway clear
across the county from the Clay
county line to the Miller county
line.
As soon as this paving is com
pleted and the rubbish cleared away,
we may expect many motorists to
pass through Blakely just for the
sake of ths twenty miles of superb
highway. Just think of being able
to traverse Early county from near
Bluffton to the Miller county line in
forty minutes, even in a Ford, over
one of the best sand-clay roads in
the world, including a two-mile
stretch of concrete road through
the city limits of Blakely.

RURAL ROUTE NO. 2
IS SETTING THE PACE
Uncle Joe Womack organized the
first rural free mail delivery route
in Early county and started J. G.
M'ashburn out as carrier. Then he
organized route No. 2 and took
charge of it as carrier himself. This
route ran out to the river section
via Freeman chapel and back to
town on the river road.
In recent years, however. Uncle
Sam has shuffled the routes a little
and now No. 2 runs out the Quincy
road and back to town by the Fed
eral highway between Blakely and
Colquitt.
Now that the routes have all
become Ford car routes, Uncle Joe
has been using some headwork to
make things easier for the carrier
and give a minimum of trouble to the
road workers.
One of the things done to this
end was the planning of a mail box
post, the arm of which works on a
swivel and can be pushed out of the
way when the road machine comes
along. The postoffice department has
approved this mail box post.
Then for weeks he has been in
ducing the patrons of his route to
paint their names on their mail box
es and to use the most modern type
of mail boxes. The work is going
forward nicely and the great major
ity of the patrons are falling in line.
