THE ROAD IMPROVEMENT
TRAIN WAS HERE MONDAY.
Local Good Roads Association Organized—
Prospects for Better Roads Look Good.
The Good Roads Improvement tram
now being operated by the Southern
railroad was here Monday, and a goodly
number turned out to hear the experts
in charge of the train lecture on the
building and keeping of good roads.
While there were not as many farmers
as was expected, owing to their business
detaining them at home, there was a
pretty fair attendance, and all were
thoroughly benefited by the lectures
and alse the stereopticon views that
were shown.
There was a local Good Roads
Association for Hall county organized
with the following gentlemen as officers:
A. J. Mundy, President; Frank T.
Davie, vice-president; and W. A. Roper,

What Fifty Cents Did.
Our old friend Sandy Bar Hey Carter
is greatly impressed with the value of
advertising space in the Eagle. Two
weeks ago he put a 50-cent ad in the
paper advertising the Dock Suddath
place for sale, J. C. Henderson, who
lives next to this farm, saw the ad, and
it was the first he knew that the place
could be bought. He hunted up Mr.
Carter and the trade was made right hot
off the bat. And Sandy got his com
mission on the sale all right. And all
for 50 cents.
Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the scense of
smell and completely derange the whole system
when entering it through the mucous surfaces.
Such articles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to the good you
can possibly derive from them. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, 0., contains no mercury, and is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. In buying
Hall’s Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genu
ine. It is taken internally and is made in
Toledo, Ohio, by F. J, Cheney & Co. Testi

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health is Worth Saving and Some
Gainesville People Know How
to Save It.
Many Gainesville people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need h«lp. Sick kidneys are responsible
a vast amount of suffering and ill
health—the slightest delay is danger
ous. Use Doan’s Kidney Pills —a reme
dy that has cured thousands of kidney
sufferers. Here is a Gainesville citizen’s
recommendation:
G. Y. McMurry, farmer, 2 Dunlap St.,
Gainesville, Ga., says: “I have used
Doan’s Kidney Pills and have found
them to be a first-class kidney remedy.
You may continue to publish the state
ment we gave in their praise in 1908,
for it was correct in every particular.
I use Doan’s Kidney Pills occasionally
now and they always h»lp me.”
For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents,
