#.u Investigation was conducted by

Fo Ice Commissioner W. D. Peeples.
It Is stated that the men each had
about the same amount of money on
them, or about $40, which led to the
suspicion that they had been "dlvy-

denied knowing anything about each

A telephone message was sent M

under arrest are not very talkative
though one or two of them want the
officers to telegiaph to their home

them appear to lie looking for a place

Mi Pad to Tigers.
Interest In the blind tiger situa
tion did not die with tho passing of
superior eourt. nnd the sightless ani
mals are still the topic of many ft live
conversation on the streets. For a
few days the lid was so light and
liquor flowed no more freely than
gold from a misers' pocket. But now,
if that busy old lady. Dame Rumor,
may be believed, it once more gushes
forth ns freely as did the water when
Moses smote the rook In the wilder
ness. It Is even said that a new blind
tiger has emigrated here from Florida
ami gone Into busy business since Su
perior court adjourned.
All this has given rise to the usual
i.anted discussions as to tbe condi
tions and tho remedy for thorn. One
active clique seems to be spreading
dispensary propaganda. It was said
yesterday that one of the best known
orators In the county had signified hlB
willingness to take tho stump at any
time and fight for that cause. The
method of procedure may bo tho put-
ting of a legislative ticket In the field
with three men pledged to the dis

ter fought out on those lines next
summer.— Thomasvlllo Times-Enter

with an affection of the ear and was
gradually losing his sense of hearing.
No treatment previously taken ever
had any permanent effect upon his
ailment, and tho conviction grew that
Warren would sooner or later
become w,liolly deaf. Last week
ML Warren visited Valdostq to at
tend to some business matters. Whllo
there he Incidentally learned that Col.

Railroad men are fast getting to
think that the strip of track in the

than a temporary Jonah and is fast
becoming a permanent hoodoo. Yester
day morning switch engine 40 split

that left the track Wednesday after
noon and caused Injury to fireman
Smith and delay to trnfflc.The acci
dent was nt nearly the same place,
but It was attended by no serious con
sequences and did not assume the se

fair. The engine was soon put back

Doing a Large Business.
The amount of business that Is be
ing done 1*’ the Mutual Benefit Life In
surance Company, of this city, may
be realized when it is stated that the
concern’s postage bill for the past >
thirty days exceeded $100. The pol* J attention an< :
the utter surprise or Mr. Warren ho
conversed with Mr. Dimmock In an
ordinary tone of voice and could dis
tinctly he: r every word uttered by
both. Ho regarded the cure as little
less than marvelous and after pur
chasing a quantity of Plant Juice lin
iment went away about the happiest
man In the county.
And yet this Is but one of the doz
ens of cures that have been worked
by this wonderful preparation. Peo
ple use tho remedy conscientiously,
receiving permanent benefit, but In
mofet cases leaving a request that the
matter be not made public. It is
even known that some people have
been using it for deafness and the
general public wero not aware they
were thus afflicted. In every case
where n request is mado the request
Is compliod with and the results are'
never made public. Dimmock says
there are enough happy over the
cures to tell It to the world, and he Is
well satisfied to humor those who
want the world kept In Ignorance ot
the wonderful power of this remedy.
During the day Saturday the sales
of the medicine nt the drug Store
showed an Increnso over any previ
ous day and the personal Interviews
of persons afflicted kept the gentle
men busy throughout the business
hours.
The mail order business has also
Increased to a great extent and a
number of very strong testimonials
have been received form persons who
have been benefit ted by the use of
the medicines. *• Plant Juice” the fav
orite preparation for tho run-down
system, has been doing a wonderful
work whenever Introduced and It Is
this remedy that leaves Its Impres
sion wherever used. Put Into com
petition with the other preparations
described ns all healing, It Is as tow
ering as a giant above a plgamy, nnd
the public. Its best friend. Is always
ready to testify to its merits.

Mrs. Martha Fraser, of Porfci nd, Me.,
Writes: "I was all run down from o\ er-

I had tried so many remedies without
holp that I had lost all faith in medicine.
My daughter bought me a bottle of
Vinol. It simply wonted wonders for
me; it cared my cough aud brought
back heal* h and strength and I am bet

We can only a*k every one in Valdosta
who needs such a medicine to try Vinol

if it fails.” A. E. Dimmock Druggist.
8old Hit Timber Interests.
It Is announced that Mr. W. M. Dun
can has sold his timber interests in
Baker county, Florida, and has bought
a place from Mr. C. A. McLeod, In
Brooks. It is understood that Mr.
Duncan sold his Florida interests to
a company of Atlantans, composed of
the Parrots, Hon Hoke Smith and
others.
Since Mr. Duncan became Involved
in the feud with the Altmans and oth
ers in that section ,he dec^d to close
out his Interests there S f! this he
has done. It is understot \ that his
deal brought him a very good profit
and at the same time gave him a good
place in a more desirable location,
