our entire approbation. The Conn
and it- efficient Judge are comim-nded
to the citizens of our county. The
county' is clear of debt, with some
two thousand in the Treasuiy, mainly

to the commendation, “ Well done,

ing to be cross-layed, and a big golly
in front of J. J. Morton’s, which
should be attended' to immediately.
There is also one place between
Porters Creek and Watkinsville

these roads to the inspection and for
tho action of the Commissioners of

We congratulate our fellow citizens
on the absence of crime in our county
and the good order that generally
prevails, evidencing an advance in the
moral status of oar people.

We, the undersigned, recognising

Happiness and prosperity depends
to a very great extent upou good
health. All those suffering from
Hoarseness, Cold, or Cough, should
try Dr Bull’s Cough Syrup. It cures.
A Gentle Hint.—In our style of
climate, with its sudden changes of
temperature—rain, wind and sunshine
often intermingled in a single day—it
is no wonder that our children, friends
and relatives are so frequently taken
from us by neglected colds, halt the
deaths resulting directly from this
cause. A bottle of Boschee’s German
Syrup kept about your home for im
mediate use will prevent serious sick
ness, a large doctor’s bill, and perhaps
death, by the uso of three or four doses.
For curing Consumption, Hemorrhages
Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Croup or
any disease of the Throat or Lungs, its
success is simple wonderful, as your
druggist will tell you. German Syrup
is now sold in every town and village
on this continent Sample bottles for
trial, 10c; regular size, 75. For sale
