A City Cart.
One of the most obvious needs of Car
tersville just now is a city cart to be kept
employed in scavenger work and other
odds and ends around the streets. The
removal to a point out of Lie city of all
rubbish, and matter that if left to decay
would breed sickness, would be a great
contribution to the cause of health, and
as well to the comfort and convenience
of those who must find a place for such
accumulations about their own premises.
The cart with a cheap hand when not
busy at taking up matter that might be
collected and left at convenient places by
the owners of property, could be kept
filling ruts and holes about the streets
that if neglected might cost a great deal
more to repair at regular street work’
ing time, and also spreading macadam.
Our city fathers should see that we have
a city cart and their constituency will
soon rise up and call them blessed.

the mail for we will not a low it it will be
best foru to stop him at once if not he
will be heart and you too.
Your Friend.”
Mr. Yandivere, asking the privilege of
our columns, furnishes a reply as follows:
“I consider the above too absurd for
my notice, but would say, if ‘your
friend’ should carry out his or her
threat, the United States law governing
such matters will be sternly and rigor
ously enforced. A. G. B. Yandivere.”

Reducing the Surplus.
The disposition of the Surplus in the U
S. Treasury engages the attention of our :
Statesmen, but a more vital question has
our attention, and that is the leduction of
the Surplus Consumptives. Since the
discovery and introduction of Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption, there
has been a marked decrease in the mor
talit.y from this dreaded disease, and it is
possible to still further reduce the number
of Consumptives. How? By keeping
constantly at hand a bottle of Dr. King s
New Discovery and using according to
directions, upon the appearance of the
first symptoms, such as a Cough, a Cola,
a Sore Throat, a Chest, or Side Pain.
Taken thus early a cure is guaranteed.
