18S9. i«r ■nn TllE WEEKT/Y IiAXXEK-WATCIIMAN-, ATHENE, C.hOM-I.S, JAN _ 'CAPITOL OF GEORGIA ABOUT COMPLETED. ft Will Bo an Ornament to the Capital City of the Empire State ef the South. Government Buildings at Wilmington, ! N. C.. and San Antonio, Texas. Georgia has tong ranked as the empire -date of the south. Stretching from the 'mountains of the middle south to. the -sea, the changes of elevation making •variations of climate three times as great tas do the changes of latitude, the 3tate ►includes in its products almost every- GEORGIA’S NEW CAPITOL, filing native to the’temperate and sub tropical regions—from the hard white -corn of the upper valleys and wheat of •the plateaus lo the cotton of the low lands and figs of the coast Add an 'egual variety of timber, from oak and 4iickorv to the yellow pine, with a re- markaulo variety of minerals -in the anountainou8 regions, and it will tie seen that the state is commercially and in- -dustrially indeed an empire in itself. Atlanta, the capital and principal city, -lies at the gateway of the lowlands on the plateau of tlie last line of hills as one rgoea from "Cherokee Georgia” (the mountain region) to the gently sloping plains of the east and the wire grass re gion of the south. The enterprise of the ^people has improved the natural advan tages till Georgia ranks among the first -of American commonwealths. Such a -state can afford a beautiful capitol, and - such a one they have. The legislature •has just appropriated $75,000 for furnish- dng the same, and it is expected that the mew state house will be ready for occu pancy by the 1st of May. Some idea of ^the destined elegance of the new state -house may lie gained by a study of the -estimates made by the legislative com amittee. There are twenty-six items, ranging from $200 to $12,000, including: Carpets, Tugs and mats, §13.000; gas fixtures, -310,000; 1,1 Cb chairs and gallery seats, ‘$7,500; 210 desks in house and senate -chambers, $5,425: thirty-seven document -file cases, $4,000; shelving in libraries, $5,000; roller shelves, book cases, -drawers, etc., $7,500. and the remainder for stands, tables, settees, railings,' spit- loons, hat racks, lounges, wash and um brella stands and all the minor adjuncts. It raises a smile to read in the newspa pers of Atlanta that the report of the committee "was received in the legisla ture with pleasure and surprise, as the members were under the impression that 4t would cost from $100,000 to $150,000 to furnish the capitol in appropriate style.” Public furnishings which ( ' ■dess than was anticipated are indee -surprise in these days, but Georgia will Slave an elegant capitol.

In pul monary affections, such as Colds, Bron chitis, and Consumption, the* mucous membrane first becomes inflamed, then accumulations form in the air-cells of the lungs, followed by tubercles, and, finally, destruction, of the tissue. It is plain, therefore, that, until the hacking cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes can have no opportunity to heal. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral Soothes and Heals the inflamed membrane, arrests the wasting process, and leaves no injurious results. This is why it is more highly estemeed than any other pulmonary specific. L. D; Bixby, of Bartonsville, Vt., writes: “ Four years ago I took a se vere cold, which was followed .by a terrible cough. I was very sick, and confined to my bed about four months. My physician finally said £ was in con sumption, and that he could not help me. One of my neighbors advised me to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I did so, and before I had taken half a bottle was able to go out. By the time I had finished the bottle I was well, and have remained so ever since.” Alonzo P. Daggett, of Smyrna Mills, Me., writes: “ Six years ago, I was a trav eling salesman, and at that time was suffering with Lung Trouble. For months I was unable to rest nights. I conU1 seldom lie down, had frequent choking spells, and was often com pelled to seek the open air for relief. I was induced to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, which helped me. Its con tinued use has entirely cured me, and, I believe, saved my life.” Closes in a few days and the Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, F&BFAKBD BT Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. Bold by all Druggists.
