The Peoples’ Pharmacy-
In keeping with the rapid growth
of this town and county the pro
prietors of the Peoples’ Pharmacy
believe that a first-class, modern
drug house with all the latest equip
ments were desirable, and hove
spared neither time or money in
putting it at your services. Per
fect service in compounding drugs
means a great deal—it secures
health and life. Imperfect service
brings disaster and sorro v. It is
the aim of the Peoples’ Pharmacy
to give you an ideal service in the
dispensing of drugs and medicines.

The Court of Arbitration.
The first court of arbitration to

100 claimed by the State, and now
in possession of peaceable claimants
m tneir individual rigius, tunvcu
ed at the court house last Wednes
day, and was in session three days.
Inasmuch as Coffee county has
several of these lots, the evidence
was considerable and conclusive.
The court consisted of lion. W. M.
Toomer, of Waycross, selected by
claimants, Hon. W. V. Whipple of
Cordeie selected by the state, these
two selected Hon. W. 11. f’riffin,
of Valdosta. The well-known gen
tlemen who compose the court is
in itself an assurance that the de
cision, when concluded, will be
worth something in other cases of
like character. The court adjourn
ed to meet again in this city on
February Ist, when argument will
be heard and submitted.
A Faithful Mechanic-
Mr. James Elliott, the efficient
superintendent and builder who is
now about to complete the Sweat &
Vickers building, on Ward street,
kindly showed us over that struct a r e
last Saturday, and we must confess
that the whole affair is better than
we expected to find. Being a good
mechanic himself, and knowing
good work when it is done, he has
taken great pains to make the
buliding firm and solid, using every
effort to have all advantages taken
for the interests of his employers,
and to give them an up-to-date
house that will stand inspection,
and be worth one hundred cents for
every dollar expended. Llis sugges
tions and advice in such matters
are worth a good deal, and he uses
them to the benefit of those who
employ him in building houses.
We are pleased to learn that be
expects to make Douglas his per
manent home, and hope those who
■contemplate erecting houses will
.give him their building, for the
! reason that we believe him a con-
I scientious man that will do hor.est,
j square work.

there’ll be some boys there in about
fifteen years, if she lives.

Our old friend, Jesse Lott, of

such a source we appreciate these
words of commendation.
