CALOMEL SALIVATES AND MAKES YOU SICK Adis like dynamite on a Sluggish liver and you lose a day’s work There’s no reason why a per son should take sickening, sali vating calomel when 50 cents buys a large bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone—a perfect substitute for calomel. It is a pleasant, vegetable li quid which will start your liver just as surely as calomel, but it doesn’t make you sick and can not salivate. Children and grown folks can take Dodson’s Liver Tone, be cause it is perfectly harmless. Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones. Take a dose of nasty cal omel today and you will feel weak, sick and nauseated tomor row. Don’t lose a day’s work. Take a spoonful of Dodson’s Liv er Tone instead and you will wake up feeling great. No more bil iousness. constipation, sluggish ness, headache, coated tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist says if you don’t find Dodson’s Liver Tone acts better than hor rible calomel your money is wait ng for you. ad JENKINSBURG Mrs. Sarah J.

Read what Gain; sville thinks about, the proposed revision of intrastate freight rates. Unlike many towns in Georgia which secured general and heavy reductions in interstate freight rates at the time of adjustment, on January Ist last, Gainesville has had depressed interstate rates for some years, and the new interstate adjustment advances the rates to Gainesville on some articles and makes reductions on others. But Gainesville finds that, although some of her rates were advanced, her improved relation with neighboring jobbing centers has substantially increased and extended her trade. From Louisville and West From Louisville, lepresenting the West, the rate on cured meats to Gainesville was reduced cents per hundred pounds, and her rela tion to Athens and Atlanta improved 11 cents per hundred pounds. On grain, grain products and hay the rate was reduced s*B cents per bundled pounds, and her relation to Atlanta and Athens im **ro\tn fhjur, in sacks, the rate to Gainesville was reduced 6 cents per hundred pounds, and her relation to Atlanta and Athens im proved 7 cents. . - „ on iron articles, carload, the rate to Gainesville was reduced 8 cents, and he: relation as compared with Atlanta improved 8 cents, und with Athens 10 cents. From New Orleans and South From New Orleans tiie rate on molasses and syrup, carload, to Gainesville was continued without change, but Gainesville's relation to Atlanta and Athens was Improved 4 cents per hundred pounds. On rice, carload, the rate to Gainesville was reduced 4 cents, and her relation to Atlanta improved 0 cents, and to Athens 8 cents per hundred pounds. On salt the rate to Gainesville was reduced 2" cents per hun dred pounds, and Gainesville's relation to Atlanta improved 3- cents, and to Athens t’-\ cents per hundred pounds OUT BOUND RATES In shipping out under the proposed readjustment of Georgia rates, the smaller representative points named above will pay no higher rates to any point ,n the State of G-ortia, of equal distance s.m.iarly situated with respect to them, as to the.r neighboring jobbing cit.es, than will be paid from these cities a privilege net now enjoyed. Your town will have an equal chance on rates in and out. There w.il be an equality ci opportun.ty, interstate and intrastate. Is it net your opinion that such an adjustment should ce encouraged?

OF GEORGIA NOTICE TO COUNTY OFFICERS Notice Is hereby given to the various county officers of Butts county to immediately put their books in condition to be audited before the expiration of their ! HE PETITION The petition of the Gainesville Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association is as follows: "Honorable Railroad Commission, State of Georgia, Atlanta, Ua. "Gentlemen: We wish to let you know that we have taken the time and trouble to look into the revision of freight iates in Georgia that the railroads have proposed for your approval, and that we believe the same should be put into effect. , ... "We believe that the plan for readjusting the rates, including the observance of the long and short-haul principli will benefit the greatest number ol people in the state, and will remove the discrimination that now exists in fax or of the fewer larger cities. This discrimination lias relaided tne development of far the greater number of smaller communities. ...... ... "We understand that the proposed adjustment will give the railroads a small increase in revenues, and we further believe they are entitled to a reasonable increase. "We alto believe that the vital question affecting the shippers of our state is a parity of rates for the towns, small and large, and we believe the plan of adjustment proposed by the ra.heads will bring this about. “Unanimously submitted by vote of the MERCHANTS AND MANUFACTURERS’ ASSOCIATION.
