If you had the stomach of an ostrich you could hardly withstand the ravages of iard-soaked pastry. You have probably found this out and already given up the eating of pastry. Tit wholly unnecestary! Anyone can eat and digest food cooked with Cottolene—the perfect shortening. It is a pure vegetable product, made from the best beef suet and choicest vegetable oil. It it neutral in taste and odor; it is Nature'* Gift from the Sunny South. Cottolene is never sold in bulk. It is put up in carefully sealed tin pails. And right here is another advantage. When you bjiy lard you have no protection as to quality—you simply know you are getting LARD—never mind the grade, it's just L-A-R-D. On the other hand, every pail of Cottolene it uniform—the product is guaranteed. You take no chances whatever. In the face of these facts just ask yourself if you can afford to us* hog lard when you can get pure, healthful, nutritious Cottolene. USE % LESS. Cottolene being richer than either lard or cooking butter, one-third less is required. Send us a Sc stamp to pay postare and we’ll mall you a copy of our book. riVCtD “Homo Helps.” edited by Kirs.

There is a good deal of whisper- iug about another legislative candidate in the person of J. 8. Ward, ,Tr., a pros perous farmer from over the river. Mr. Ward is well known in the couuty nml has many wurm friends. Ms entry would complicate affairs to a consider able extent. Tho opposing candidates for sheriff aud couuty commissioners are keeping up a steady quiot race, and all seem well satisfied with their prospects. In tho wider realm of congressional politics there is considerable discussion of recent events and future probabilities The political prophets are staking their reputations that James M. Griggs will havo opposition next time. Indeed that fact seems about as sure as auytliing in politics, though there is another rumor to tho effect-that the efficient congresa- ntau will voluntarily lay aside his toga at the expiration of the term for which he has just been reflected aud leave the coveted place to be fought for. thing that we to advertise. were, uow The dust aud dirt uothiug daunt’ ed Thomasvilliaus Thursday.

Editor Times-Knterprife; It seems that a city ordinance is need ed to regulate a growing nuisance. Cer tain liackjnen in the city are evidently possessed of the hallucination that the transfer system is for the convenience of themselves and not the public, Things have reached such n stato that a person leaving an order tor a hack, to call at a certain hour is by no means certain that his order will be filled. Especially is this true, at the most im portant times i:e; for the trains leaving Thomasville at 1 a. m. and 3;30 a. m. I have known several instances where poople have been left through tho care lessness of tho hackmon. 1 am informed that there is no city ordinance to govern this sort of tiling. hackmaii’s badge should be a badge of reliability.* I respectfully suggest that ordinance be introduced into the city council providing for a flue for the firet offense aud the revoking of the license for tho second. Macon aud other cities have such ordinances. What alderman will take the matter up - / Whoever docs will secure the undying gratitude of a host of people who are smarting uu der tho remembrance of unheeded orders and forgotten calls. Kicker.
