From Dahlonega Nugget.
For some time eggs have been re
tailing at ten cents a dozen in Dahlon
ega—rotten ones and all.
Don’t fret about a railroad to Dahlon
ega. It takes time. She is bound to
come.
It seems to be a hard matter for the
Telephone Co. to decide about the con
struction of a line from some point to
Dawsonville. The third man is now on
the route from New Bridge to that
place, and one has been from here to
Dawsonville. It is likely that a line
will be built to Dawsonville via New
Bridge, leaving Auraria out.
Tax Receiver Healan has completed
his digests and delivered them to. the
Ordinary and Comptroller General this
week, which shows a decrease in the
valuation of property to the amount of
$10,952 since last year, caused by the
selling out of the Union Store and 1,379
acres less land being returned this year
than last.
We noticed four old soldiers sitting in
front of the court house the other day,
three of whom draw pensions, two for
deserting their country and going over
to the enemy, and one for remaining to
his post and being wounded. The two
turning their backs to their homes and
friends receive a good deal more than
the other who stood the storm. This is
law but it is not justice.
We were present in the ordinary’s
office the other day when an old soldier
was making out a claim for a pension
under the indigent act, although upon
examination of the tax digest it was
found that he returned over S6OO worth
of property. He says now that it
doesn’t belong to him. Yet, for some
time, he borrowed money on the
strength of it at the bank until they
closed down on him. Now he wants to
get some from the state.
End of Bitter Fight.
“Two physicians had a long and stub
born fight with an abscess on my right
lung,” writes J. F. Hughes of DuPont,
Ga., “and gave me up. Everybody
thought my time had come. As a last
resort I tried Dr. King’s New Discov
ery for Consumption. The benefit I
received was striking and I was on my
feet in a few days. Now I’ve entirely
regained my health ” It conquers all
coughs, colds, and throat and lung
troubles. Guaranteed by M. C. Brown

Arranging for Taxes.
The city clerk is at work upon the
tax digest of the current year, but
owing to the demoralization and con
fusion incident to the cyclone, which
came upon the city about the time the
books are usually closed up, a number
of taxpayers, representing several
thousand dollars worth of taxable
property, have not even up to this late
date made returns of personal property.
The amount of taxable property
within the city limits, both real and
personal, however, will be approxi
mately $2,683,997.
The real estate, as appraised by the
tax assessors, foots up $1,856,305. Per
sonal property returned is about $812,-
692. The officials estimate $15,000
worth of personal property yet unre
turned. This runs the total up t o the
figures named above —$2,683,997.
The Council has not yet made out
the apportionment sheet nor fixed the
rate of taxation. While the schedule
budget of expenses to be raised will be
somewhat in excess of former years
the rate, it is anticipated, will be
slightly lower.
Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blocd.
If they are sick cr out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
————v) blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits
by all druggists in fifty
cent and one-dollar siz
es. You may have a
sample bottle by mail
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

“After my first baby was born I did not
seem to regain my strength although the
doctor gave me a tonic which he consid
ered very superior, but instead of getting
better I grew weaker every day. My hus
band insisted that I take Wine of Cardui
for a week and see what it would do for
me. I did take the medicine and was very
grateful to find my strength and health
slowly returning. In two weeks I was out
of bed and in a month I was able to take
up my usual duties. lam very enthusi
astic in its praise."
Wine of Cardui reinforces the organs
of generation for the ordeal of preg
nancy and childbirth. 11 prevents mis
carriage. No woman who takes Wine
of Cardui need fear the coming of her
child. If Mrs. Unrath had taken
Wine of Cardui before her baby came
she would not have been weakened as
she was. Her recovery should
commend this great remedy to every
expectant mother. Wine of Cardui
regulates the menstrual flow.
