ADEL. BERRIEN CO., GEORGIA, FRIDAY, Io, AUu Tam A«
White Boy Turning Black.
The fcllowing is an extract ta¬
ken from a letter from Adel
which Appeared in Saturday’s
Constitution.
“Adel Gn., May 3,—(Special)
Physicians of this city and coun¬
ty have organized a medical so¬
ciety arid at its first meeting held
today a case which may attract
the attention of the Medical pro¬
fession of this country came be¬
fore it.
In the lower corner of Berrien
county there resides a young
while man; his age is about twen-
ty-tvvo years, who for the past
five years l as been gradually
growing black. In his boyhood
days he was of fair skin, had blue
eyes and light hair. Fi v T e years
ago his skin took on a sallow ap-
but no attention was
paid to it. Gradually the lad
grew darker and darker until now
his skin shows a dark livid color,
while his hair grows blacker, it
seems, each day. Only the eye9
remain to remind one of his for¬
mer days, so complete has the
change been.
The medical men of this sec-
Hon are puzzled over the case.”
The young man s name isEver-
ett and he was in Adel Wednes¬
day when several visiting physi¬
cians were here and saw him. Mr.
Everett is by no means an inva¬
lid, although his general health
is not very good. He is able lo
do four or live days work in each
week. He carries but little flesh
presents a most stiiking ap¬
pearance, a likeness of which
does dot often present itself.
“Our little girl was uneonsci-
s from strangulation during a
sudden and terrible attack of
I quickly secured a bot¬
tle of One Minute Cough Cure,
her three doses. The
was mastered and our lit¬
tle darling speedily recovered”
writes A. L. Spa fiord Chester,
Peeples A Tygart.
The Good of Laughter.
At the recent banquet of the
National Wholesale Druggists’
Association in Chicago, Rev.
Frank Crane compared the re-
pective remedial qualities ol
laughter, says an exchange.
Some of his epigrams were
these:
Man is the only animal that
was made to laugh, and, as sci¬
ence teaches that laughter means
health, it is a sin for us to sub¬
stitute excessive drug taking for
laughter.
Laughter increases the blood
circulation.
It enlarges the heart.
It expands the lungs.
It jiggers the diaphragm.
It promotes the dioculation of
the spleen.
I once knew a man who laughed
so much that when he died they
had to cut his liver out and kill
it with a club.
Beware of the theologians
have no sense of mirth—they
not altogether human.
Keep your chin up.
Don’t take your troubles
bed with you—hang them on
chair with your trousers or
them in a glass of water
your teeth.
If people only knew what we know
about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, it would
be used in nearly every household, as
there are few people who do not suffer
from a feeling of fullness after eating,
waterbrash, caused by indigestion or
dyspepsia. A preparation, such as Ko¬
dol Dyspepsia Cure, which, with no aid
from the stomach, will digest your food,
certainly can't help but do yen good.
Peeples & Tygart.

Mrs. Mose Overstreet Dead.
Mrs. Mose M Overstreet died last
Tuesday morning at her home in
the northern part, of the country,
brief illness of pneumonia.
Mrs. Overstreet was well known
throughout that portion of the
as the widow of Mr. Ber¬
ry McDonald, having married
Mr. Overstreet some months ago-
Mr. Overstreet lost his lirst wife
two years ago from typhoid fever
and at the same time several of
his children died of the same
disease. In his new bereave¬
ment he lias the sympathy of
many friends,—Valdosta Times.

pills for constipation, and liver
complaints. Peeples <fc Tygart.
The Height of Cheapness
“The cheapest man I ever knew?”
said the postman. “His name
was John Smith, and he was
cheaper than pinson bargain day.
He used to get letters from bis
brother-in-law and would open
the envelope by holding it over a
teakettle. Then he would take
out the letter and would read it,
write an answer, put the answer
in the same old envelope and seal
it up again. This done, he would
take it to the postoffice, explain
that the letter* couldn’t possibly
belong to him, and he didn’t want
to open some other man’s mail.
Of course, as his broth', r in-law’s
five days return card was on the
envelope, the post office officials
would send it back.”—Ex.
Old Soldier's Experience.
M. M. Austin, a civil war vet¬
eran, of Winchester, Ind., writes:
“Mv wife was sick a long time in
spite of good doctors treatment,
but was wholly cured by * «JJr.
King’s New Life Pills, wliiah
worked wonders for her health*’
They always do. Try them. Only

A Letter From Macon.
To The Editor of the Adel News,
Thinking that a letter from
Macon would not be much out of
place in your columns, I
gathered sufficient energy to give
you a few epigrams.
On Friday The Cecironian so¬
ciety of Mercer, of which I am a
member, was invited to a recep¬
tion of the Kapidelta Sorosis
Monroe college. It was my de¬
light to be one among the
boys to accept. Our English
l’rof. McNeil, was with us, as he
is always on such occasions, and
showed himself to be the htiino-
rist of the day. We arrived at
Forsyth in time to take in most
of the beautiful little city before
night. When supper time came,
we learned that Hotel Marie had
prepared a special supper for the
Mercer boys, after which we were
conducted to the gorgeously dec-
orated hall of the Kapileltus.
There we were greeted by more
than a hundred college girls, I
forgot the rest.
Our -‘free street fair*’ is pro-
grossing this week after much op¬
position. It is “taking in” most
of the county and a great many
visitors from other sections.
I was just reading in the Adel
News about the picnic Tuesday,
that reminds me; Our Sabbath
school goes to Beech Haven on
the third Saturday this month.
The Mercer boys are invited to
he at the Wesleyan this after¬
noon, at class day exercise, and
I’ll tell you in advance that we
are going to have a “swell” time.
Since spring has come 1 have
fallen much in love with Macon.
It is a most undesirable place in
winter, and not very beautiful
either, but now it is one of the
most beautiful cities in the state.
I can stand on my roof and see
the entire city. It is clothed in
green elm leaves now.
Every body in Macon seems to
be fully, aware of the fact that
spring, also, comes but once a
year, and they are making good
use of the time by going to pic¬
nics and games while it is yet
spring.
Mr. Webb, it is one of my
greatest pleasures to read your
paper, it is so well represented
by good correspondents over the
county most of whom I know. It
is a flue paper and worthy of the
success it meets.
My gracious! there is the din¬
ner bell and I will be compelled
to go or I will not get any thing.
But, dear reader, I will come
again, if you w ill forgive me for
this encroachment.
Yours truly,
Joiiny,
About Rural Routes.
The following letter from Con¬
gressman Griggs to Postmaster
Sutton, in reference to the propos¬
ed free rural routes leading out
from here, is self explanatory.
These routes are proving to be
great conveniences in other sec¬
tions and we are anxious to see
them given a trial here.
Dear Sir:
Replying to your letter of
3rd, inst., it is impossible for me
to answer your question with,
any degree of certainty.
A Special Agent is under or¬
ders to take up this District next
Monday. He will take the peti¬
tions in order of filing, and it
will he impossible for me to say
how many he will be able to in¬
spect, or wlxere they will be. The
Adel papers are in his hands, and
will certainly be attended to in
their order. I am urging him
with all my power to work so as
to complete this District, and I
hope he will he able to get to
you. Sincerely yours.
M, Griggs.
