of the most important and at the

able ever held by the doctors.
These meetings are growing
more interesting to the physicians
and whenever the meeting time
comes it is not difficult to get
them to Sandersville. and one of
the members stated to u repre
sentative of The Herald who call
ed upon him for information
about the meeting, that he doubt
ed if there was any county medi
cal association in Georgia in
which the members are taking
more interest and which is the
source of greater benefit to the
members than the Washington
association.

cers having expired, successors

Pi'. C. D Redding was appoint

prepare and road a paper at the
next meeting, which will he hold
in Sandersville on May 15th,1907,
mu the diagnosis and treatment of
what is known as the “hoop worm
disease,” which has grown to be
more frequent in this section of
Qenrgify and in the treatment of
which Dr. Redding has been quite
successful and whom the physi
chins el' the county recognize as
ftn authority on the treatment of
this trouble. Dr. Redding’s paper
will be looked forward to with in
terest by alL'the members. Not
only oq the subject mentioned
hut on the general treatment of
disease Dr. Redding is regarded as
a very diligent student and a sue
coast ul practitioner and whenever
I' 1 discusses a question the doctors
hen. expect to hear something
beneficial and helpful to them.
1 he members enjoyed a delight

The next annual meeting of the
Georgia editors will be held in
this city from June 0th to June
8th, and it is now expected that
there will he the largest number
of members here that ever attend
ed one of the annual gatherings.
President W. S. Coleman of
Cednrtown, has given notice t hat
the association will be held here
beginning on the sixth of June.
This arrangement was made so
that the editors and their families
could leave Sandersville together
on June 8th for Atlanta, from
which place they will go together
to the Jamestown exposition,
reaching there in time for Geor
gia Day on June 10th.
On account of the exposition,
to which most of the editors will
go, a larger crowd than usual is
expected in Sandersville.
It lias become generally known
that. Sandersville is preparing to
give the editors a splendid recep
tion and no doubt is entertained
about the ability of this city to
take good care of the association.
Since the South Georgia Confer
ence met in Sandersville recently
this city’s reputation as a conven
tion city has been made and the
larger crowd which will attend the
editor’s meeting will not doubt
that we are fully equal to the
occasion.
A meeting of tho^program com
mittee and committee on onter-
ainment has been called for next
Saturday in this city, and at 1 hat
imo some definite plans will be
made.
Mayor Franklin of Tennille and
Mayor Cheatham of Sandersville,
are co-operating with the commit-
ic, and many other prominent
citizens have offered whatever ser-
ice may bo required.
We will report progress made
n perfecting arrangements later.

DAVISBORO ANNUAL
BIBLE CONFERENCE.
Will Meet This Year Apri
28th to May 6th.
Fine Course.
Mistrial was Declared In
stead of A Verdict of
Acquital.
Telegrams received by news
papers in this section of Georgia
last Friday from New York in
reference to the verdict in The
Thaw trial were misleading and
Tub Herald along with other
papers printed Friday in this sec
tion of the state was taken in by
the fake telegrams.
Always anxious to get the news
fresh for readers of The Herald
and not suspecting but that th-
telegram told the true story of the
end of the Thaw trial, The Herald
published the news as we received
it.
There was a mistrial in the case
instead of a verdict of acquittal as
wo published, - the jury having
been unable to reach an agree
ment in the case.
MAYORS MATINEE
MORE INTERESTING
Practical Evidence of The
Herald’s Value has
Been Shown.
You couldn’t convince two of
Sandorsville’s prominent merch
ants that The Hkkalu is not a
valuable advertising medium, for
they have tested the matter and
have found out in a practical bus
iness like way that it pays to
plant nn ad. in The Herald.
Some days ago Mr. L. M.
Mitchell telephoned The IIkrald
that he had lost a very valuable
dog, and described him. A few
lines of advertising in The Her
ald found the dog and lie was
brought to Mr. Mitchell as a re
sult the next day, and before he
had time to advertise elsewhere.
Just a few days ago Mr. W. R.
Beach lest a watch and chain
for which an offer of ono hundred
dollars would have made him
smile at you. Ho telephoned The
Herald describing the watch and
invested a few cents in a few lines
of advertising describing the watch
and chain and charm. Last Fri
day the watch was recovered as a
direct result of The Herald’s ad.
A reader of The Herald had 011-
swered Mr. Beach’s advertisement
and told him where the watcli
was, and this reader lived more
than twelve miles away.
Other instances might be shown.
For instance, a friend passing
through the Sandersville depot
last week remarked: “I see The
Herald’s ad. soid an organ for a
faraway advertiser.” He had only
seen one; them have been others
irom this company a thousand
miles away, and they are advertis
ing exclusively in The Herald.
We don’t like comparisons and
won’t make them, but the fact is
that The Herald now goes to
every nook and corner of Wash
ington county. All the people
don’t patronize it, hut many do,
and there are no dissatisfied ad
vertisers now using its columns,
and the paper shows new ads.
every week.
We mention these things to
show that it pays to advertise in
The Herald. Ask any advertiser
in The Herald what he thinks of
it as an advertising medium. The
answer is not feared by us.

HORSE TALK
Every man who owns a horse or mule should
keep on hand at all times without fail a bottle of
Walker's Dead Shot Golic (Sure. Cures the
worse cases of colic—it cures the kind of colic that
kills when you fool with trifling remedies. If you
lose a horse or mule with the colic, then you have
lost about one hundred and fifty dollars. There
is no danger of your animal dying with the colic if
you give Walker's Dead Shot Colic Cure,
for it cures the worst kind of colic—it cures the
kind that kills when you don’t give Walker's
Dead Shot Golic Sure. No cure no pay is
the wav we sell it; if you say it did not cure, we
will refund the money. It is the cheapest medi
cine on earth for colic, because it cures—and cures
BAD CASES. The price is $1.00 per bottle, four
to five doses to the bottle. Is it not a good idea
to keep ready prepared, useful valuable medicine
like this on hand? It is what the horse calls com
mon sense.
Every farmer should buy half a dozen bottles
and keep it on hand. Your stock will not die of
colic if you give them Walker's Dead Shot
Golic Gure.
