WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU. of Good P«w People Realize the Import Digestion Until It Is Lost. Many people suffer from dyspepsia and do not know it. Tney feel mean, ont of sorts, peevisb, do not sleep well, do not have a good keen appetite, do not have the Inclination energy for physical or mental work they once had, but at tbe same time do not feel any particular pain or distress in the stomach. Y’et all this is the result of poor digestion, an insidious form of dyspepsia which can only be cured by a remedy specially in intended to cure it and make the digest ive organs act natnrally and properly di gest the food eaten. Bitters, after din ner pills and nerve tonics will never help 4he trouble; they don't reach it. The new medical discovery does. It is called Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets and is a specigc for dyspepsia and indigestion. It cures because it thoroughly digests all wholesome food taken into the stomach, whether the stomach is In good working order or no:, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets by digest ing the food, instead of making the worn out stomach do all the work, gives it a much needed rest, and a cure for dys pepsia is the natural result. When you are nervous, ran down and sleepless, don't make the common mis take of supposing yonr nervous system needs treatment and fill your stomach with powerful nerve tonics which make yon feel good for a little while only to fall back farther than ever. Yonr nerves are all right bnt they are starved, they want food. Nourish them with wholesome every day food and plenty of It, well disgeted, and yon can laugh at nerve tonics and medicine. But the nerves will not be nourished from a weak, abased stomach, bat when the digestion has been made perfect by the use of this remedy all nervons symp toms disappear. Who ever heard of a man or woman blessed with a vigorous digestion and good appetite being troobled with their nerves? Good digestion means a strong ner Tons system, abundance of energy and capacity to enjoy the good things of life. Stnart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cer tainly set yonr stomach and digestive The activities of Georgia clubwomen re- mindone of thevandeville advertisement of "something doing every minute.” On top of the reform of child tabor in the fac torits referred to last month, comes an announcement as to the two model schools in the country districts—"Fed eration Model Schools,” they are called —which, it seems, have proved so suo- cessfnl in the experimental stage that they are to be continued permanently, and, moreover, others are to be re-fash ioned after their pattern. Precisely one year ago, in fact, the clubwomen decided to take charge of these schools, chiefly for thf$ purpose of adding an industrial conrsi. A uwut r,tBll a KlH fft out to them that the distressing need in the home life of the plain people of Georgia was domestic industries which, of cturse, could easier bn introduced through the children.

THE BOLL EXHIBIT ON ALL THIS WEEK, Splendid Exhibit at the Villa Cottage on Reese Street. The Doll Collection will be on exhi- hibition every afternoon this week from 3 to 6 o'clock. Admission 25 oents, hot ohooolate served free. Children 10o, without chocolate. This collection was exhibited for the first time in Boston in 1896, and con tained less than fifty dolls. So great was the interest shown in it, and so many kindly notices given it by the newspapers, the owner decided to add to it and devote it to Children’s Chari ties. Time, money and patience has been spent upon it, until it now numbers hundreds from all over the world, with no dnplioates, too many for one exhibit and it has been 'divided into two, A and B. Many of the dolls oan never be dnpli oated, being the only ones in existence and obtained under great difficulties from the interior of countries where “ d th *» dolls have passed, the manufactured FEDERAL SOLDIER OWES HIS LIFE TO MR. THOMAS P. OLIVER. Under the head of "Pluck and Adven tore,” tbe New York Tribune publishes a story of special interest to the people of Athens, since the hero of the story is one of our fellow-citizens, Mr. T. P. Oliver. Tne story is tolcl by Dr J. J. Purman, who is employed in the pension office at Washington. Dr. Purman was first lieutenant in a Pennsylvania company and at Gettys burg was shot down on the field. He saw a Confederate soldier iu front of the Confederate lines and oalbd to him for help. This soldier was Mr. Oliver. Speaking of Mr. Oliver’e heroism and courage, Dr Purman says: "He crawled through the tangled standing wheat end came to me, bring ing a canteen of water—about the best I ever tasted—which I drank. After drinking and having some poured on my wounds, I said to the Confederate, 'Won’t you carry me into the shade within your lines?' At first he said that be could not—that if we attempted we would both be sho’>. I then sug gested that he let me ges on his back and that he crawl ont wi :h me as he had crawled in. After some argument he agreed to this. I managed to get on his back, he holding up my wounded legs, and this good fellow crawled off organs right; they can’t help bat to do it because they nourish the body by di gesting the food eaten, and rest the stomach. Yon get nonriahment and rest at one and the same time, and that is all the worn ont dyspeptic needs to bnild him np and give new life to every organ and an added zest to every pleasure. Stnart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a god send to the army of men and women with weak stomachs, weak nerves and The Standard Oil Company, whose stockholders Monday received a cash dividend of $10,600,000, sent ont notioea to all of its customers last week that It bad advanced the price of oil one cent a gallon to the middlemen, who in torn most exact a higher price per gallon from the consumer. The prioe of oil to the jobber hereafter will be 11% cents a gallon. This Is an Increase of oents since the beginning of the coal strike. The Standard Oil Company controls over 80 per cent of the petroleum pro duced in the United States. The pro duction of illuminating petroleum is in round numbers 1,000.000,000 gallons a year. According to these figures, the revenae of the Standard Oil Company by the advanoe of 1 cent a gallon, an nounced on Tuesday, will be increased about $8,000,000 a year. This does not include the annual exports of petroleum, whioh last year amounted to 1,081,744,- 231 gallons. There has been no advauoe, on Standard Oil prodnot shipped to foreign countries, because there is no coal strike there, and because there is competition with Russian Oil. The Standard Oil Company has been using every possible mean* to develop the use of kerosene in heating and cook ing stoves sinoe the beginning of the ocalstrike. The increasedconsnmption, a local merohant said yesterday, had K ^»?§aiSfkp*inpr into the field of wheat. Ouce I fainted and fell off his back. Mr. Oliver left me and went back into the woods to Plum Run, where he refilled his canteen and came book to me, dashed water iu my face and restored me to consciousness Again getting me on his baek, he crawled away and we managed to reach the Btrlp of woods in which the Twenty- fourth Georgia was posted. When safely there he put me on a rubber blanket under n tree, gave me a canteen of water an 1 some bread—such as thE> Confederates had—and wrote my name and regiment in his book. I handed him my hunting case silver watoh and with a few words of good wishes we parted. That evening the Pennsylvania reserves took position of the ground oc cupied by ihe Georgia regiment, and I fell into the hands of my own people "It was not until the year 1874 that I succeeded In locating my friend who had saved my life. Through Georgia Senators I ascertained that Mr. Oliver was living in Gainesville. He has since moved to Athens, and I have kept up a pretty regular correspondence with him ever since. O course, I love him for bis brave and generoos act. I love him be cause he saved my life at the risk of losing his own.” ones of Germany and Franoe having ta ken their places. Indian tribes, and natives of the interior of all countries, for many reasons, are very loathe to part with a doll belonging to them. No description can give an idea of the collection, it mast be seen to be appre ciated. Its success has been phenomenal, and has traveled thousands of miles eaoh year, and earned tbous inds of dollars for'lie charities to which it has been loaned, regardless ot creed of color. On F.iday afternoou at 4 o'olo.k Santa Clans will appear again with his basket of toys and candy. All obildreu should come. On Saturday afternoon at 3 :30 o’clock there will be a Christmas tree and every child cau cut his or her own present from the tree by paying five cents. Tbe green tickets distributed will not admit to the doll collection but will to the Santa Claus and Christmas tree. It is important that none should miss the opportunity to see this doll collec tion. ASSISTANCE GIVEN MAN UNWORTHY OF IT, H. C Huntington is in the City Prison Under Se rious Charge yesterday, arm -mm*. is that the Standard Oil Company is try- to make its profits large enough to pay a 50 per cent dividend daring the pres ent fiscal year. The Standard Oil Oo.’s, fiscal year ends in Febrnry, and not in January, as has been generally sup posed. It has paid 45 per cent, this year, as compared with 48 per cent, last year. With the Increase of last week, the rev enues will be sufficient to more than pay the additional 5 per cent, required in the Febrnary dividend to bring the an nual payment up to $60,000,000. One of the retail dealer! who exhibited a notice of the advanoe to a Bannrr re porter begged him not to disclose h<s idenity. If it were known that I gave this in formation to The Banner,” said the dealer, "it wonld put me out of the oil business. The Standard Oil Company does not hesitate to pursue the small fry, as well as the big fellows. Ever; retail dealer in the country will get the notloe I presume. "The advanoe falls very heavily on poor people at this time. In addition to increasing the prioe of oil the retail merchants are compelled to tarnish what is really an inferior grade of oil at this time, for we are getting a poor grade in A'hens now. There is nothing for as to do bnt put an increase on the con sumers as the Standard Oil Oo. diotates the prioe, not the retail merohants." - justly merits the claim of being one of tbe most wonderful medical disooverii ■ of the time.
