1 ’ m'' 9 I , THE NORTH^GEORGIA CITIZEN, DALTON, GA. — . We are expansionists of the veriest type—business expansionists- A Few Figures Figures won’t lie, albeit as the old saw goes, liars will figure, and liars will interpret. In our press roon\ we have a daily output of 83,333i impressions; multiply this by 6, the number of working days in a week, and you* have the sum of 500,000, and then by 26, the number ©f working days in a month, and you have the sum of 2,166,666f. The figures are based on the very lowest estimate, and the result is not by any means what we really can do. The truth of the matter is we will print everything that our patrons want printed, no matter how many impressions it requires. You Can’t Do Better if you have printing done, than to give it to us. This fact is confirmed by our present customers. Advertising, in some form,* is a recognized necessity for every business enterprise that appeals to the public for support. If you do a business that is supported and backed up by the people, these people must be appealed to, they must be told, and printers’ 'ink is the only suc cessful means of imparting to them this knowledge. If your competitor advertises and has printed matter to circulate among the masses, and you do not, it is a question of only a very short time until you are nailed to the wall, the sheriff has you, and the list of your creditors (how our heart goes out to them) can be read in the next morning’s paper. * Remember We print everything from visiting cards to the finest class of book work. Advertising matter of all descriptions printed and bound in the best of style. We wholesale all kinds of RARER RARER BAGS TWINE and everything that pertains to the paper line. The A. J.

Beedy was one of those boys who, in his juvenile days and ear ly youth, pulled the bell-cord over old -Beck’s back, but was hot des tined to continue in that avoca tion. He had asperations—an in tense desire .to go to town and clerk in one of the large stores.- He eventually secured the cov eted position, and rose rapidly, as country hoys usually do—not, however, forgetting that back in the country a rosy cheeked farm er’s daughter had a warm place in her heart for him, notwithstanding the fact, too, that Reedy now habitually wore a “ biled shirt,” collar, cuffs and other appendages that clerks consider indispensable. Saturday was a busy day; (which was indirectly the cause of Reedy’s tribulations) the store had been thronged during the day with rural customers, and as night ap proached the country folk be gan to disappear with their 3undles*and the town people came flocking in to make purchases. Reedy was “ fattigued ” and very weary when the last custo mer wended his way slowly out, stopping here and there to ex amine holts of goods on the coun ter—greatly to Reedy’s impati ence. At lasc he emerged into the darkness; the doors were quickly closed and Reedy eagerly sought his couch. He did not rise with the birds, but slumbered until the, morning was no longer young. He awoke with a start and arose and hurried away to break fast. Then he remembered that he had an engagement with his best girl. It was Sunday and the barbershops were closed. His face was covered with stubby whiskers. He wanted a shave and wanted it bad. He ran hither and thither to procure a razor, but his efforts were futile. He thought of the meat market, where keen-edged knives are kept galore. 'Hitherward he flew as if pursued by the sheriff: His anx ious eyes descried an immense knife; he seized it with eager hands, - and darted for soap and water. He quickly covered his face with the snowy lather, and slowly and painfully drew the huge knife down the right cheek. But stay! His visage assumed all the horrible contorsons of the wicked in perdition; his eyes stood out like fried eggs in a hollow log -and threatened to make a flying visit to either cheek. There he stood in his agony, when a friend came rushing through the open door, flourishing a razor high above his bead, crying : “Stop, man; a razor!” Then Reedy replied, in an ago nized voice: “ A razor; my king dom for a razor!” The knife was discarded for the razor, which, under the skillful manipulation of the friend, 'Reedy was soon himself again. But hiis troubles were not at an end for the day. He disappeared around the corner, and after a brief absence hove in view leading a' wicked looking mule—the origi * nal Texas mule—down the princi pal street. The mule was step ping high* likewise the young man, whose face was wreathed in smiles. Somebody yelled “Woa!” Other voices ehimmed in, “Where did you get that an-i-mule ?” “ That’s not the way to the bone- yard.” Although the mule was quite corpulent, and there seemed no necessity of the facetiflus person firing the last philippic, yet these interrogations evidently agitated our friend Reedy. However, he had a purpose to put into execu tion. He stopped and hastened into an adjacent shop, and im mediately appeared with a set of buggy harness. He leaped to the side of the mule, but in his great agitation put the subsequent end of the harness over the animal’s neck. He pulled and jerked and tugged as one possessed. The perspiration , poured down his cheeks like rain, his collar flew up in the vicinity of his hat; some thing snapped—perhaps his su spenders—and the crowd grew denser. He looked about appeal ingly. Sympathetic by-standers came to his rescue. The harness was adjusted, and his muleship hooked to the buggy in double- quick time. He climbed to the seat, smiles again chasing each other up and down his physiog nomy, he gathered up the ribbons and with a majestic wave of the hand and a vicious slash at the mule’s back with his blaeksnake, soon disappeared in an immense cloud of dust. • R.

It comes on so slowly yet surely that it is often firmly seated before we are aware of it. The name of this disease which may be divided into three distinct stages is, first, kidney trouble, in dicated by pain in the back, rheu matism, lumbago, frequent desire to urinate, often with a burning sensation, the flow of urine being copious or scant with strong odor. If allowed to advance, this reaches the second stage, or blad der trouble, with heavy pain in the abdomen low down between the naval and the water passage, increasing desire to urinate, with scalding sensation in passing, small quantities being passed with difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has formed it will prove dangerous if neglected. The third stage is bright’s dis ease. There is comfort in knowing that Dr. Kilmer, the great kiclney and bladder specialist, has discov ered a remedy famous for its mar velous cures of the most distress ing cases and known as Dr. Kil mer’s Swamp-Root. It is sold by all druggists.
