New Majestic Malleable and
Charcoal Iron Ranges
Ine MAJESTIC MALLEABLE and steel range as formerly turned out by the Majestic
people has been considered throughout the entire country par=excelience, and far ahead of any
other range made. But with the NE W CHARCOAL IRON BODY in place of Steet, making it
double its value, and the fact that it is the only range in existence made of Mailebale and Char
coai Iron, you cart readily see that if quality is considered, the Majestic Leads by a big margin.

CHARCOAL IRON BQDitib; let us explain why it is the best materia! for range bodies, and in=
cidentally, why is it not used on other ranges. We want you to call if you intend to buy or not,
at the information gained will serve you in the future.

PRESCRIPTIONS.
A riedical Explanation of Why
They Are Written in Latin.
The use of Latin by physicians
in prescription writing is usually
regarded as a harmless survival
of mediaevalism. In comment
ing on a recent note to this effect
in a daily paper, which advocates
the compulsory use of English in
prescriptions, the Druggists' Cir
cular and Chemical Gazette takes
occasion to make a strong defense
of the time honored practice.
Says this paper:
Suppose the sapient writer
Quoted whose utterances may
sound alright to those who know
’no more of his subjects than he
does, should fall sick and his
physican should decide that the
one thing needful to save his life
was Geranium robertianum.
Suppose he chose “redshanks”
and so wrote the word in his
prescription. When the druggist
went to prepare the medicine he
would find that ‘redshanks’ was
the English names of at least four
entirely different plants.
Of snakeroots there are other
kinds. Suppose the English writ
ing doctor wanted to be sure of
getting the right kind so specified
black snakeroot.

Our Farmers Should Grow A
Variety.
Almost every crop of value to
our farmers in stock raising or
for supplying the markets at
home and abroad, can be raised
m the Ssuth in better paying
quantities than anv part of the
country. And yet they coniine
the cultivation of farm products
to a few of many that are raised.
To say nothing of cotton, sugar
rice and heavy shipping tobacco,
of which they have a monopoly
of all grown in this country, they
should have hogs to sell, instead
of the millions of dollars’ worth
they annually buy: instead of
paying hundreds of millions of
dollars for bacon, pork and lard,
they can raise enough to feed the
entire American people: instead
of paying enormous sums for the
thousands upon thousands of
horses and mules every year,
they can be raised at less cost in
the South than anywnere else,
enough to supply both home and
forign demand. All of this has
been demonstrated time after
time with these facts understood,
we go on making slow progress.
When will this stop ? Any time
the farmers say the word. Mem

Mr. G. W. Deen, general man
ager of the Deen Realty and Im
provement Co., was in town one
day this week. See their big add
for a sale at Nichols. Mr. Deen
is doing more towards the de
velopment of his section of the
state than any other one man in
it, and it would be of great help
if other monied men of our sec
tion would follow Mr. Deen’s
example. He is making money
?>ut of this and at the same time
s doing good for his country.
Oar Popular Solicitor.
Col. Dickerson, of Douglat at
tended city court here yesterday
and paid us a pleasant call. Mr.
Dickerson is one of the brightest
young lawyers in South Georgia.
—Fitzgerald Enterprise.
Col. Dickerson is one of on* -
best lawyers and we think that
now would be a good time to
suggest that he be elected as
Solicitor-General of this circuit at
the next election. He makes a
good officer and would be amply
able to take care of this import
ant office, if he were elected.
That would not be doing as well
as his partner, Col. Lankford,
but under the circumstances, this
would be the next best thing and
we believe that the people this
circuit would be pleaded with
this choice.
Rude Haste.
They were on their honey
moon. He had bought a catboat
i and had taken her out to show
; her how well he could handle a
boat, putting her to tend the
sheet. A puff of wind came,
; and he shouted in no uncertain
j tones, “Let go the sheet!” No
response. Then again, “Let go
'that sheet, quick!” Still no
1 movement. A few minutes af
ter, when both were clinging
to the bottom of the overturned
boat, he said:
“Why didn’t you let go that
sheet when I told you to, dear?”
“I would have,” said the
bride, “if you had not been so
rough about it. You ought to
speak mor<i kinder to your wife. ”
