THIS YEAR.
You can raise Irish potatoes just

Try some of them this year. .Next
year you will plant more.
We have as usual a complete
assortment of every kind of field
and garden seed. We can espe
cially recommend our Sorghum
and Sweet Corp. Hicks’ Giant 90
day Corn is the largest and most
prolific of all the early varieties.
Under ordinary conditions it is
ready tor market in 13 weeks from
planting. It’s the mo?t profitable
corn you can plant.

The Low Price Druggist
and Poor Man’s .Friend.
P. S. Two deaths occurred in
Valdosta recently which ought to
be of interest to the citizens of
Bainbridge The bereft widows and
orphans of these two deceased
men were doubtless dosed freely
by sympathizing friends with the
regulation.fu cereal Soothing Syrup
such as the Lord glveth and tne
Lord taketb away, eto., etc. But
they refused to believe the blas
phemous suggestion that the All
Good One had murdered their
loved ones. On the contrary they
saw plainly .that a stupidly con
structed ditch nad deposited the
city washings near their homes
that this filth had poisoned the air
they had to breath and so had
caused the death of their loved
ones. They accordingly hired good
lawyers and carried their com
plaints into the courts. One of
them recovered out of the city
<115,000.00 damages. The other is in
a fair way to recover 915,000,oo.
-Now the last time I was iu Vat
dosta I paid close attention to the
health conditions—and particular'
ly to the dllehes ofthe town. Home
of the ditches were had enough,
but 1 saw no diuslj in Valdosta one
thousandth part as badjas the ditch
in Bainbridge running due south
down Potter street from the resi
dence of Mr. Dwight Gurley.
This d'tch is ‘so constructed that
it catches up the floating boards,
leaves and other trash and makos
teem Into a filter-dam. This filter
dam stops the water after a big
rain, long enough for it to spread
over the sidewalks, into the yards
and under the neighboring resi
dences as much as a foot deep.
Here stands this pond of the
vilest filth while the water slowly
filters through the filter dam, and
all.the worst part of,the filth settles
and is left thare to poison the air
and ruin the health of those who
IIVi near it. What are the results/
Inquire for yourself. I know of
one lady who has lost the sight of
one eye which can safely be
charged up to this ditch. I know
of another lady who lay for several
weeks last summer at the point of
death—due to the ditch. I know
of a third lady who died near ibis
ditch a fe J months ago—her death
was hastened by the ditch. I know
of a whole family who barely es-
caoed death from this ditch by
fleeing last summer to xvortb
Georgia. Remedy: Dig an in
telligent ditch to the river.
