Oordslo, Ga.. Jane 7.—On# of th#
most destructive fire# in the history [of
Cordele this afternoon flawed so Im
mediate Ion of orer $57,000. An accu
rate estimate hu not yet been made up.
The wont feature ia that the city ia
now entirely dark except for candlee
and lam pa. The whole northern por
tion Is without telephone connection,
the telegraph company la in a state of
disorder, tbegral] Cox service I is out of
commiaaioo, and the city ia otherwise
inconvenienced.
7%e flee originated in the roof of the
branclfwanhouae of the Parker-Wil
lis Wholesale Qracery Company at U %>
o’clock this afternoon and quiekly en
veloped the lyie building. The flamea
driven by a stiff northerly breeae, trav.
eled across several yard tracks of the
Seaboard Air Lina Railroad and reached
the large building of the Bay Orooery
Company, Ia nrosslng the tracks seven
or eight oars, all of them loaded with
marchandiee and lumber, had been de
stroyed befo-e a yard angina con'd move
them out. Both wholesale houses had
large quantities of bay stored in them
and homed like tinder,
The work of the Are department was
directed toward r.saviog endangered
property. Bv bard work the plant of
the Oitiaere Electric' Light and Power
Company was saved, but not before the
feed^wlres to’the street and commercial
circuits bad been destroyed. The oily
will be dark for three nights, it is stated.
Showers of sparks fell on wooden and
sliest iron buildings for several blocks
away and for a time it seemed oertaln
that the whole portion of the city north
of the Seaboard Air Una Railroad
and east of Die Georgia Southern would
be destroyed. Haa the wind teen
blowing to the aootlf almost the entire
business district would have been wir
ed out.

A weak stomach is most fre
quently caused by the over
worked and exhausted nervous
system.
The power that runt the
atomach is the nerve force sent
to it from the brain through
the nerves. When the nerves
are weak or exhausted the sup
ply of energy is insufficient
and the action of the stomach
is impaired, and results in im
perfect digestion—dyspepsia.
Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nerv
ine increases nerve force. It
strengthens and builds up nerve
tissue, gives vigor to the nerves
and muscles of the stomach;
this produces a healthy activity.
Nervine allays the inflamma
tion, heals the membranes, and
