In his way as Anderson, and is Just

dispensary fight, and put up a stiff
argument’for the tank. In passing
be It said that there Is much more to
be said for the dispensary than for

HIS IDEA OF MASONRY.
One of the best Masons, and tbe
best men In this section of Georgia,
or in the world for that matter Is
Rev. James M. Rushln of Boston.
Half the county look# upon his as a
father, and all the county loves him.
It Is an Inspiration for his brethren
of the craft Just to look Into hls
cheerful face and hear him say "my
brethren." •
One of the features of the con
vention was hls talk on the meaning
of Free Masonry, before the county
convention yesterday morning. If
J.very Mason could hear the advice
he gave, aud would live up to It,
then Indeed would Masonry be the
handmaiden of religion. There must
be something more than signs and
symbols In the great Institution that
has endured for centuries, as even
outsiders must admit. Brother Rush-
in explained It by the theory that
Masonry Is in reality, of divine origin
'and inspiration. He thinks it was
put here to teach the lesson of up
lifting and redeeming the world.
Certa'n it Is that there Is Imbed
ded in the nature of every man, sav
age or cultured, heathen or Chris
tian, a groping after something high
er, that perhaps even he himself does

A WONDERFUL HAPPENING.
Port Byron, N. Y., has witnessed
one of the most remarkable cases of
healing ever recorded. Amos F.
King, of that place says: "Buck-
len’s Arnica Salve cured a sore on
my leg with which I had suffered over
80 years. I am now eighty-five.”

druggists. 25c. 3
Tho Grip.
Before we can sympathize, with
others, we must have suffered our
selves.” No one can realize the suf
fering attendant upon an attack of
the grip, unless he has had the ac
tual experience. There is probably
no disease that causes so much phy
sical and mental agony, or which so
successfully defies medical aid. All
danger from the grip, however, may
be avoided by the prompt use of
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
Among the tens of thousands who
have used this remedy not one case
has ever been reported that has re
sulted in pneumonia or that has not
recovered. For sale by Montgomery

LONG LIVE THE KING.
Is the popular cry throughout Euro
pean countries; while in America,
the cry of the present day is “Long
live Dr. King’s New Discovery, King
of Throat and Lung Remedies!” of
which Mrs. Julia Ryder Paine, Truro,
Mass., says: “It never falls to give
immediate relief and to quickly cure
a cough or cold.” Mrs. Paine’s opin
ion is shared by the majority of the
inhabitants of this country. New
Discovery cures weak lungs and
sore throats after all other remedies
have failed; and for coughs and colds
It’s the only sure cure. Guaranteed
by all druggists. 50c* and $1.00.
