Hall’s Family Pills are the best.

she don’t care who looks over the family
Bible.
The ancients believed that rheuma
tism was the work of a demon within a
man. Any one who has had an attack
of sciatic or infl immatory rhenmatism
wilLagree that the infliction is demoniac
enough to warrant the belief. It has
never been claimed that Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm wonld cast ont demons, bnt
it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds
hear testimony to the truth of this
statement. One application relieves
the pain, and this qnick relief which it
affords ia alone worth many times its
cost. For sale by E. Bradford.
An ambition to climb to the top is

It frequently happens that the deeper

.T. Q. Hood, Jnstice of the Peace.
Crosby, Miss., makes the following
statement: “lean certify that One Min-
nte Congh Cnre will do all that it is
claimed for it. My wife could not get her
l-reath and the first dose of it relieved
her. It lias- also benefited my whole
family.” It acts immediately and cures
coughs, colds, croup, grippe, bron
chitis, asthma and all throat and Inng
troubles. E. Bradford.
GooI'm Milk.
Modern Medicine says that goat’s
milk, contrary to the general impres
sion. differs from cow’s milk not in be
ing more digestible, but in being less
digestible and less nutritious, altboughi
it contains'a larger amount of solid
matter than cow’s milk. It Is indeed
the most indigestible of all milk.-
Goat’s milk has a peculiar and unpleas
ant odor and flavor, due to hireic acid,-
or bircine. It contains an excess of fat
and is therefore altogether too rich for
an infant's diet.
The mother's heart is -the child's
schoolroom. Ally feeling that takes a
man away from his home is a traitor
to the household.—Weekly Bouquet
’Look Before
You Leap/
If a dealer attempts to sell
you a substitute when you
ask for Hood's Sarsaparilla,
his only object is to make
more profit on the substitute, ‘which is
always inferior and unsatisfactory. There
fore be sure to get Hood’s.
Scrofula—'"For years I had scrofula
sores on my bach. I took many medicines
without avail and thought 1 could not be
cured. Then I began taking Hood's Sar
saparilla and it entirely cured me. My
health is now perfect. I am a trained
nurse, and recommend Hood's for allblood
diseases." J. D. Torrey, 46 W. Main
Street. Fredonia, 11. Y.
It also shows the boundaries of the va
rious militia districts. This map is
thus especially valnabie to county of
ficers, Justices of the Peace, and pro
fessional men generally.
The map goes more into detail than
any of its predecessors, and corrects
some important errors. Mr.- Pittman is
a thoroughly competent civil engineer,
and has given the work of preparing
this map a great deal of time and the
most careful and painstaking attention.

The protracted meeting that has been
in progress for the last three weeks at
the Methodist church closed Friday
night. It was the grandest revival
witnessed in Carrollton for several years.
The preaching was done by Rev. T. R.
McCarty, of Cedartown. It was char
acterized by wonderful earnestness and
spiritnality. Great good was done to
the chnrch and community. There
were approximately two hundred con
versions and reclamations. Sixty-five
members were received at the Metho
dist chnrch Sunday morning. About
twenty-five of the converts will join
other churches. Rev. McCarty left Sat
urday.
One of the stewards of the Method
ist chnrch raised by subscription seven
ty-six dollars, which was presented as a
thank offering to Rev. T. R. Mc
Carty.—Carroll Free Press.

Never Again
Should the people be as completely

Never Again,
Perhaps, will they have a better

Carious Funeral Custom.
In Switzerland death is attended by
a custom which calls upon all charita
ble and Christian people to show their
sympathy. A notice edged with a wide
black line appears in the daily papers
setting forth the day and hour when
sympathizers must assemble before
the house of the deceased. At the time
named a little cloth covered table, sup
porting a good sized jar, is stood be
fore the house, table, cloth and jar all
being of a somber, ebony hue, and into
the latter small mourning cards, bear
ing the name and address of their owfa-
ers, are deposited. The day the funeral
takes place Is the day selected for the
exhibition of the jar. No ladies are al
lowed to follow at a Swiss funeral.
Love at first sight is all right, but

In almost every neighborhood there
is some one whose life has been saved
by Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and

cured of chronic diarrhoea by the use
of that medicine. Such persons make
a point, of telling of it whenever op
portunity offers, hoping that it may be
the means of saving ether lives. For
