A woman begins to show her age when 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 all right until yon have to sleep in an npper berth. It frequently happens that the deeper a man is in polities the more he is ont. .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. Sometimes there is more generosity in a kind word than there is in giving a dollar to public charity. Never Again Should the people be as completely without home-canned Iruits, vegetables and preserves as they now are. Never Again, Perhaps, will they have a better chance to lay up a bountiful store of such things than they have this year. Gardens and Orchards will soon be la den with wasteful abundance of fruits and vegetables. Can them while you can. I have over 1000 Mason Jars—pints,quarts and -gallons—to help on the good work. E. BRADFORD. The venerable Mrs. Yonng, of Fish, died Snnday. “Safe Bind, Safe Find.” Fortify yourself now by purifying and enrich ing y onr blocd and hniiding up yonr system with Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and you may expect good health thronghont the comirg season.

Onebix of it cured what the doctor’s called an in curable nicer on my jaw.” Cures piles and all skin diseases. Look ont for worthless imitations. E. Bradford. Rongh on the Bllnluter. Sir William Long tells a story of an old Scotch lady who could not abide long sermons. She was hobbling out of the kirk one Sunday when a coach man. who was waiting for Ills people, asked her, "Is the minister dune wi’ his sermon?’ “He was dune lang syne,” said the old lady impatiently, “but we wauna stop!” 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 what a girl wants is a man who will love her every time he sees her. In almost every neighborhood there is some one whose life has been saved by Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, or who has been 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 sale by E. Bradford. Law is like a sieve; a man may see through it, bnt if he gets through it he will find himself much reduced. W. S. Mnsser, Millheim, Pa saved the life of his little girl by givin" her One Minute Congh Cnre when she was dying from cronp. It is the only harm less remedy that gives immediate re- sults. It quickly cures coughs, colds bronchitis,grippe, asthma and ail throat and Inng troubles. E. Bradford An old baohelor says that only the married soldiers are acquainted with war in all its horrors. The easiest and most effective method of purifying the blood and invigorat ing the system is to take DeWitt’s Little Jsarly Risers, the famous little pills for cleansing the liver and bowels.
