| e -t you, but before you have had
t me to recover your strength, is per
haps the most dangerous period.. You

the infections to which you are ex
posed. The result is a relapse that
j. more dangerous than the original
disease.

not cure the Flu, as wonderful as it
is, but it will tone up your system

That coffee should be properly packed is no reason
it should be costly packed. You can’t eat or drink
the package.
If the cost of the package is deducted from the
quality of the coffee, there are a lot of people
getting poor coffee. Properly packed coffee means
a perfect container at a negligible cost.
You will notice that White House Coffee is double-
sealed and double-packed. It comes, to you in a
big square cardboard container that is trifling in
'cost but mighty scientific in design.
White House Coffee is the finest coffee grown;
coffee at its best, whether being measured into
the coffee pot or poured, steaming and fragrant,

HAVANA MAN FOUND
GUILTY OF MURDER
Mercy is kecommended by Jury
For J. L. Powell, After Rapid
Trial on Murder Charge in
Leon County, Florida.
A jury at Tallahassee, Fla., Thurs
day fciorning returned a verdict of
guilty, with recommendation for mer
cy, in the case against J. L.Powell,
of Havana, Fla., who was charged
with the murder of James W. Le-
Gette, well- known ytoung business
man of Cairo, early in the morning
of November 19th, this year.
The trial began early Wednesday
morning, after the defendant had
been indicted by the grand jury last
week.
The entire trial was conducted with
dispatch, and the few witnesses ex
amined had cctjjpletedj their testi
mony by three o’clock Wednesday
afternoon. The argument of the at
torneys began immediately thereaf
ter, and the jury retired about six
o’clock.
They deliberated for approximate
ly five hours after they completed
their evening meal, and about twelve
o’clock they asked to be carried to
their rooms.
Deliberations were taken up early
•Thursday morning, and the verdict
was reached in a few hours.
It will be remembered that Powell
and several companions from Grady
county were encamped on Lake Ia-
monia preparatory to hunting ducks
early on the morning of November
20th, when the season opened.
On Saturday night, November 19,
young LeGette and some others from
Grady county approached their camp
seeking information in regard to
some dogs that a brother of one of
the members of LeGette’s party is
said to have had there.
In some unexplainable way a gen
eral misunderstanding appears *to
have resulted and someone emptied
two loads from a shotgun into Le
Gette’s stomach. *
The affair took place early on Sun
day morning, and LeGette diejl short
ly after that noon in a Tallahassee
hospital. k
Powell is said to have.stated,to the
jury that he was awaked from his
deep by the disturbance that result
ed when LeGette and his party came
near the camp. He said he heard
shooting toward his tent, and that he
thought it best for him to go out and
see what the trouble was. He carried
his shotgun with him, he is said to
have stated, and wkhen he approach
ed the parties whom he thoifght was
causing the disturbance LeGette
pointed his flashlight^ at him and
stuck a pistol in his face. He said
he was so frightened that he acci
dentally discharged his gun.
Reports were that other witnesses
did not corroborate Powell’s state
ment iri regard to LeGettes having
a pistol.
Powell was not acquainted with Le-
gette in the least, though all the oth
ers were well acquainted with each
other.
George W. Walker was the attor
ney for the state, and he was assist
ed by Judge W. J. Owens, of Talla
hassee, and J. A. Pope of Cairo. W.
C. Hodges and Fred Davis were the
attorneys for the defense.
It is understood that the attorneys
for the defendant have filed a motion
for a new trial, and that % hearing
will be had at*n early date.
The murdered man was wdll knotyn
to a number of Bainbridge people,
and the defendant was also known
in this county, and for this reason
there was considerable local interest
in the outcomeo f the trial. It is un
derstood here that Powell was given
a life sentence by the presiding judge
(following his conviction, with rec
ommendation of mercy.
Taking Desperate Chances.
It is true that many contract se
vere colds and recover from them
without takjng any precaution or
treatment, and a knowledge of this
fact leads others to take their chances
instead of giving their colds the need
ed attention. It should be borne in
mind that every cold weakens the
lungs, lowers the vitality, makes the
system less able to withstand each
succeeding attack, and paves the way
for the more serious diseases. Can
you afford to take such desperate
chances when Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy, famous for its curse of bad
colds may be had for a trifle?
Georgia Apple Growers
Losing Large Amounts
ATLANTA, Dec, 11.—Georgia ap
ple growers are throwing away a lot
of money every year by failure to
utilize left-over and off-grade appelx
for by-products, such os jelly, pre
serves, syrup, butter, chutney, vin
egar and dried fruit, in the opinion
of Atlanta chemists.
Chemists here recently experiment
ed with a syrup made from off-grade
upples and the product was excellent,
they declared. An analysis of this
syrup made by the state chemist
showed it to be of exceptional food
We read bf miracles in the Bible,
but we hardly ever hear of any now-
a-days. I suppose that just about
everybojl yknows why there isn't any
miracles now. Well, I do not. Now
is the time that we deed them, more
than ever. Birt He that ruleth over
all knows best, so why should we
worry over little things like that?
Don't the recovery of Bethel seem
like a miracle, after everybody had
thought we were dead? Well, it is
not a miracle, for old Bethel wan't
dead-only Bleeping, as you some
times see on tombs. Stricklan) re
covered, go why not Bethel?
Among our special entertainments
of the past week we mention the per-
licu, given by Robbie Campbell. Of
course everybody had a nice time, as
usual, although we regret to say that
one young lady had n very sudden
attack of headache, and had to go
H>me rather early. Among tlhose
present—. But why tell that—sure,
I was there, were you?
Not long ago I was talking to a
fellow. He was on his hore; a car
came along and the horse did not
show a bit of fright, but instead,
looked at the car curiously. That's
right, the man said, pretty soon there
will be no horses, only your kirid, sad
dle horses. No use to show flight.
But, I ask you, was the man right?
Of course he was,—NOT. Seems to
me that anybody with common sense
wouj'd know better—some scientist
might probably disagree with me,
but I am fro Missouri.
I went into a cafe with a friend j
not long ago. He ordered ctU<e 1--
the first.course, arid beans for the
second. When I asked him why the
reverse, he says: “Well, my Stom
ach is upset," sezzb.
Christmas is getting near. We
can't help but think of what a nice
time we are going to have. Every
body's land is posted against bird
hunting, but still the prospects look
bright.
I read a bit in some paper I
this: To Flappers: Ari onion a day,
will keep the mashers away. But I
haven't noticed any increased demund
for onions yet. .Then, undoubtedly
the mashers are welcome.
Our B. Y. P. U. is still hanging on
to life with a death-like grip. But
if you don't come or.' and help, young
folks, why it will not hold on. Then
come and bring new members and
old ones. Lets have our B. If. P. U.
something to be proud of. We appre
ciate the presence of visitors.
