It re quires the best wheat to keep the flour up to its standard, and it is bought regardless of the price. The reputation of “Clifton” flour has been gained by fifteen, years of uniform excellence. — MarlcEy Trading Co. Mr. J. C. Shadburn, mayor of Beau ford, Ga., and brother-in-law of Dr. W. C. Bryan, with iiis wife, who has been here for two weeks, or more, left for home last Monday marning, via Montezuma. We shall be glad to see him in Douglas again. There’s No Particular Secret- About making flour and yet given the same mill, same machin ery and same wheat, no two mill ers will make flour exactly alike. Besides the techinal skill there’s a “knack” in making flour and Bransford’s miller has it 4 to an ex ceptional degree. That’s one rea son why “Clifton” proves so dis tressingly popular that wherever it is sold, competitors are obliged to recognize it as a standard and offer their flour as “just as good.” —Markev Trading Co. Whenever you leave an order for Job Printing at this office you may expect satisfaction or your money back or the work done over. Prices will be right, too. Douglas, Ga., November 7, 1903.

Oh, Eternity! forever and forever!” “Unt’A this moment I thought there was neither a God nor a he'A.

Dear Friend :—lf dea f h should overtake you in your present con dition, under which head would you come, and what would pe your dying words? You may appear bold and fearless now ; you j may ridicule God and 11 is follow ers now; yea, you may deny the. existence of a hell now, but when death stares you in the face, that will be an honest hour, but a poor one in which to repent. Act new as you will then wish you had. “For in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” Matt. 24; 44 —Tract No. 3.
