Because I KNOW What My New
and Wonderful Discovery has
Already Done for Hundreds—
will do»for YOU—I will Cheer

Treatment to You, Prepaid, Ab
solutely FI^EE for Five DAYS
TP^IAL.
I offer what is really a GOD-SEND to sufferers
from Catarrh—Hoad. Bronchial and Throat trou
bles.
A new and wonderful medical discovery that
cures by striking right at the root and cause of
the disease-by KILLING THE GERMS.
A CUKE for YOU no matter in what bad shape
you are.
Now we do not ask you to take our word, nor
that of the cured hundreds. Instead, I want you
to try this treatment, entirely at our pers«fci.ti risk,
at our expense. Just say the word and I will send
the treatment to you without pay or promise on
your part. If, at the end of Jive days’ treatment,
you do not feci like a new being, if you do not
honestly bless the day that you answered this ad
vertisement.. simply return the treatment to me.
You are nothing out. Isn’t that a fair and hon
orable offer y
My new treatment is applied direct. No drugs to
swallow: its application is a pleasure. As if by {
magic it stops tlie hawking, spitting, sniffing and
snuffing, relieves the maddening head noises, does
away with the nauseating dropping of mucus into
the mouth: the queer, stuffing and oppressed feefe
ing of the head; the painful burning and smarting
of the air passages. Soothes and heals the irritated
membranes aud leaves tlie head CLEAR AS A
BELL.
It. is folly to take medicine into the stomach.to
kill tlie germs of catarrh in the head. Air is the
agency that carries the germs there, and it must
be the agency to remove them.
I do not send samples. 1 send the Co-ro-na with
full treatment. Write for it today.
Read what grateful persons write:
“Your treatment has done me more good in
three days that all others I have used in a life
time.' —J. D. S. ATKINS, Durham, N. C.
“After using your treatment one week I havc
got my hearing back, which I thought was lost
forever. * ’—REV. ALBERT EG LI. Elgin. 111.
•*I have been using your treatment three weeks
and would not take $1,000 for it if 1 could not get
another. I can sing again, something I nave not

MY SPECIAL OFFER.
For a short time, if you will write me
even a postal card, mentioning- this paper,
I will send you prepaid, my new Co-Bo-
Na Medicator, charged, with medicine
and complete direction for a quick home
cure. If it gives perfect satisfaction after
five days’ trial, and you are pleased in
every way and wish to continue the treat
ment, send me $1. If you are NOT satis

only 3 cents postage) and you still have

THE BIRD’S CHARGE.
I wandered in the southland beneath the
whispering pines.
My heart was light and buoyant, my
feet sought mjany shrines;
The jasmine vine luxuriant, its fragrance
widely flung - ,
And from tlie forest branches the trail
ing mosses swung.
And there I met a maiden fair as the
woodlands deep.
And since that mystic hour she holds my
heart in keep:
An unseen bird was filling the glen with
melody;
Its little throat seemed trilling, “Be true
to Marjorie.”
And ever since that mandate in the forest
glen I heard
No power my soul can sever from the
sweet charge of the bird.

A COAT AND CAP FOR THE, BOY.
Short lop coats are just tlie kind of
coat a boy likes, for they are warm
enough for all ordinary purposes and
who likes a long 'Ulster flapping above
his feot like a skirt when he walks!
It’s the same old story of youthful man
hood and a desire for all that fosters
self-reliance and sturdiness. The coat
shown Is double-breasted and has an
abundance of pockets. The cap is of the
Tam-o’-Shanter order and of good style
for boys from 2 to 8 years. It may be
made of the same material as the coat if
this is not too heavy. Cheviot, tweed,
homespun and other materials may serve
for the coat, I 1-4 yards 54 inches wide
being needed for tho medium sifce, while
the cap calls for 3-4 yard of 20-inch
goods.
Two Patterns: 4079—sizes. 2 to 8 years.
4080—same sizes.
The price of these patterns is 20c, but
either will be sent upon receipt of 10c.

HOW MRS. HARTLY
THANKSGIVING.
“Mrs. Ashford,” I said as T answered
the door bell on Thanksgiving morning.
“Do come in, I am so glad to see you.”
“No, thank you, Mrs. Hartly; I have
Just come to ask a favor of you.
“Granted, of course. What is It?”
“Get your wraps and take a drive with
me into the country.”
“A favor Indeed—and It has been the
dream of my life to drive behind those
splendid bays.”
“Oh, but it is very cold, and X want
you for tlie entire day.”
I looked at my husband, who had just
come in.
“Go by all means,” he said. “X think
I can take care of myself for one day
and do justice to your turkey and cran
berries beside.”
Past neat white cottages and old
weather-stained dwellings half hidden
by trees, we sped, and were soon in the
midst of a beautiful farming country.
Acre after acre stretched away in level
perspective, many of the fields still white
with the ungathered cotton, while here
and there a solitary crow flitted over the
bare corn fields.
“How pretty,” I said. “It seems almost
a prairie.” and I looked away into the
horizon dimmed by autumn haze. “There
can be no ’melancholy days’ for the in
habitants of this magnificent ante-bel
lum residence,” I continued, as a curve
in the road brought us into view of the
fine old home,
Carriages were rolling up tlie drive
way under the century old oaks ahd the
sound of music, and laughter reached us.
“I am Invited here to Thanksgiving
dinner,” said Mrs. Ashford.
“But I am not.” I hastily interposed.
“Oh, never fear,” with a little laugh
as we drove past the gate. “You don’t
suppose I would take this long cold drive
just to admire Fannie Cooper's cut glass
and he bored all day by the silly plati
tudes of fashion’s devotees.”
“Bored,” I exclaimed, “but don't you
think the hostess must be very happy?”
“That is according to your definition
of happiness. It is true she Is surrounded
by wealth, and seems intent only in ex
pending her means in what people call!

I looked up into Mrs. Ashford’s proud

still one of the favorites, despite the long
seclusion of her widowhood—was she as

o’clock we decided to seek our beds.
We girls took refuge in the tent, while
tlie boys wandered away over the sand

lay their heads. But little sleep came to
us that night, for between the sand crabs
and fleas there was little peace. At sun

WAITING FOR MOTHER.
Often when taking a short trip out o'
if'wn. on the Nashville, Chattanooga and
St. Louis road I think of telling tiie H.
II. the story of a, silent watchman at
enc of tlie stations I pass.
The man is getting along in years. Ahe
expression' on the face Is one of yearn
ing, mingled with that blank look that we
sec In itlie eyes of those from whom God
l'.as seen fit to take “reason.” In all
sorts of weather this silent old man
watches for No. 5 as she puffs by.
The story- goes that many years ago
the man, witli another brother, lived on
a farm back from tlie railroad. Both
boys were devoted to their mother, but
the eldest one seemed to worship her.
One day she took a trip to Nashville!
sent a telegram to her favorite son
that she would be home * on No.
5. No. 6 was wrecked within a
few miles of home and the mother was
killed outright. When the message went
over the wires for her boys to come the
oldest received tho message, and tlie hor
rible truth stole his reason. To him
bis mother is still homeward bound on
No. 5 and Way after day tlie now agi-d
man still waits for mother on No. 5.
Some folks often change their seats, that
is those who know the story, to’ keep
from seeing that lone watcher waiting

SUGAR BILIN TIME IN DIXIE.
These are the "melancholy days,” ac
cording to the sweet poet of nature, but
there is not much melancholy In one of
the ’’times’’ 'that falls due In these No
vember days—a time, dear to the recol
lection of every South Georgia Cracker,
no matter how far he may roam from
tlie scenes of his childhood.
This delightful fall festival is the time
of sugar cane grinding—usually called
sugar boiling—or in back woods vernac
ular “sugar bilin’.”
Many are the accompaniments of this
notable occasion, and ail are joy-giving.
Have you ever listened to the musical
pour of the stream of juice as it conies
from tlie cane crushing roller or inhaled
tlie odor of the boiling syrup? Have
you ever eaten sugar foam with a cane
peeling or taken a delicious quaff of cane
juiice oil a crisp, frosty morning? Have
you ever pulled candy- by tlie. light of
pine knots on a light stand? Have
you ever played “snap or twistification”
