Are you pulling for the fair?
Paint up, clean up —and do it
now.
High gasoline has nothing on
the price of paper. Both are out
•of sight.
Now they say a candidate took
Tanlac and like to have run him
self to death.
The paper heroes and tin horn
patriots seem willing to let the
regulars catch Villa. It was ever
thus.
Prof. Snider has quit running
the weather and has gone to
farming.' Ought to be more profi

The fact that Georgia buys
$11,000,000 worth of western
meat annually shows that pork is
popular.
Every citizen should co-operate
with the Civic League and make
clean up week, April 5 to 12, a
rousing success.
Save your waste paper, is the
warning given by the govern
ment. It may become as valua
ble as gasoline, cotton seed and
<aadium.
Another tragedy of real life.
The candidates believed every
liolitical promise made them was
Ante.
But they were only promises.
The fire in Augusta was a stag
rgering calamitv. But Augusta
will come back bigger, better,
than ever before. Not

LINIMENT
CANDIDATE FOUND IT
EXPENSIVE
Below is given the expense ac
count of a Hall countv candidate,
who favored a late primary, says
the Gainsville, Ga., News.
From this time on he says he
will favor an early primary, al
though he never again will be a
candidate.
Here is the way he put it down:
“Lost four months and thirty
three days canvassing; 1,349 hours
thinking about the election, five
acres of cotton, a whole sweet
potato crop, four sheep, five
shoats and beef given to a barbe
cue; two front teeth and a consid
erable quantity of hair in a per-
sonal skirmish. Gave 97 plugs of
tobacco, seven Sunday schools
books, two pair of suspenders,
four calico dresses, seven dolls
and thirteen baby rattlers.
“Told 2,889 lies; shook hands
38,475 times talked enough to
have made in print 1,000 large
volumes; kissed 126 babies, kind
led fourteen kitchen fires and cut
three cords of wood, parted with
300 bundles of fodder, picked 700
pounds of cotton, helped load
several wagon loads of corn, dug
fourteen bushels of potatoes, tout
ed 27 buckets of water, put up
seven stoves, was dog bit four
times, watch broken by baby,
cost three dollars to have repaired.
“Loaned three barrels of flour,
fifty bushels of meal, 150 pounds
of bacon, thirty-seven pounds of
butter, 82 dozen eggs, three um
brellas, thirteen lead pencils, one
Bible dictionary, one mower
blade, two hoes, one overcoat,
five boxes paper collars, none of
which have been returned.
4 ‘Called an opponent a perambu
lating liar—doctor’s bill $lO. Had
five arguments with my wife
result, one flower vase smashed,
one broom handle broken, one
dish of hash knocked from table,
one shirt bosom ruined, two hand
fuls whiskers pulled out, 10c
worth of sticking plaster bought.
“Besides I spent $1,768. Never
again!”
Well, the “jint ’spute” between
Jasper and Butts county has come
to an amicable close. According
to agreement Jasper county will
receive one-third of taxes from
the big power plant on the Oc
mulgee river.—Monticello News.
This was a lot of litigation that
was uncalled for, unnecessary
and tremendously expensive.
Pity, Brother Penn, that the of
ficials of the two counties did not
get their heads together in the
beginning. As usual, the tax
payer is the goat.

EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is Quicksilver and
Acts Like Dynamite on
Your Liver.
Calomel loses you a day! You
know what calomel is. It’s mer
cury; quicksilver. Calomel is dan
gerous. It crashes into sour bile
i like dynamite, cramping and sick
i ening you. Calomel attacks the
! bones and should never be put
I into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out
, and believe you need a dose of
dangerous calomel just remember
; that your druggist sells for 50
cents a large bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone, which is entirely veg
• etable and pleasant to take and
is a perfect substitute for calo
mel. It is guaranteed to start
1 your liver without stirring you up
inside, and cannot salivate.
Don’t take calomel! It makes
you sick the next day; it loses
you a day’s work. Dodson’s Liv
er Tone straightens you right up
and you feel great. Give it to
the children because it is perfect
ly harmless and doesn’t gripe, ad

show me, I am,

Women’s Woes
Jackson Women Are Find
ing Relief at Last
It does seem that women have more
than a fair share of the aches and pains
that afflict humanity; they must
4i keep up,” must attend to duties in
spite of constantly aching backs, or
headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down
pains; they must stoop over, when to
stoop means torture. They must walk
and bend and work with racking pains
and many aches from kidney ills.
Keeping the kidneys well has spared
thousands of women much misery.
Read of a remedy for kidneys only
that is endorsed by people you know.
Mrs. \V. T. Burk, Oak St., Jackson,
says: “My kidneys had always been
weak and my back ached. I was sore
and lame and the least move sent pains
all through ray body. My sight be
came blurred and little, black objects
floated before my eyes. I could hard
ly stand at times on account of dizzi
ness. The kidney secretions were un
natural. Doan’s Kidney Pills cured
me of all signs of kidney trouble and I
have had no return of it.”
Price 60, at all dealers. Don’t sim
ey ask for a kidney remedy—get
oan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
cured Mrs. Burk. Foster-Milburn Cos.,
