The entry into womanhood is a
critical time tor a girl. Little men
strual disorders started at that time soon
grow into fatal complications. That
female troubles are filling graveyards
proves this, Wine of Cardui estab
lishes a painless and natural menstrual
flow. When once this important func
tion is started right, a healthy life will
usually follow. Many women, young
and old, owe their lives to Wine (3
Cardui. There is nothing like it to
give women freedom from pain and to
fit young women for every duty of life.
SI.OO bottles at druggists.
Miss Pdla M. Strayer, Tully, Kaiu "I
have suffered untold pain at menstrual pe
riods For a long time, was nervous, had no
appetite, and lost interest in everything,
in fact was miserable. I have taken four
bottles of Wine of Cardui, with Thedford’s
Black-Draught, when needed, and to-day
I am entirely cured. I cannot express the
thanks I feel for what you have done
for me.”

And the hogs continue to die.
Meat will he meat next year at a

Gaskin & Davis s it, and sells
it for less. ha
Several parties from Waycross
out at the Spring. We have a sly
notion of annexing that town alter
a while.
Wait for Paxson’s new Dress

York buying them now.
B. Peterson’s advertisement will
appear as soon as the cut for his
new building arrives, about Octo

Gus will make a good deputy

Mr. B. Peterson is building an

his business having out grown his
present premises. B. Peterson
goes to bed early, gels up early and
is mighty hard to catch as a rustler.
Some of the negro nurses around

A rumor is current in town to
the effect that Mr. J. M. Ashley is
building a large two story house
55x52, out at his place three miles

We have been expecting him to
jump such a game as that on 11s,
sooner or later. This is a secret,
is told you confidentially, and you
must not breathe it to a soul.
Mr. J. T. Brown, the tree man I
who has been here for the past j
week, has succeeded in getting an j
order from the city council for 200

A Republican Trick Discovered.
Gov. W'm. G. Stone, chairman
of the democratic executive com
mittee with head quarters at New
York, has discovered a nicely ar
ranged plot of tiie republican party
to import negroes into West V ir
ginia and Kentucky, to carry those
countries for McKinley this fall.
They are to be imported by rail
road companies under the guise of
being laborers, and will work on
these roads until election day when
they will be voted, after which
they will go to their homes. The
discovery of this piece of trickery,
practiced before, will be frustrated,
and may he the cause of bloodshed,
for the depiocrats do not intend to
he imposed upon and cheated out of
their rights in that way.” Mr.
Stone savs.
You can go to Savannah and re
turn on the 17th, for $2.00. 'rick

than you can walk.
Mistake Corrected.

Finley's Card.
To (he brothers and sisters of (he
Smyrna Association: Much has
been said, and is still being said
in regard to myself, and connection
with the Association. In the first
place, it is asserted that I declared
a non-fellowship with the Smyrna
Association which is palpably false.
In the second place it is reported
that 1 declared a non-fellowship
with those that would not wash
feet. This in part is false. We
say in our articles of faith that we
believe in the ordinances and ex
amples that Jesus Christ, denomi
nated, (The Lord’s Supper and
washing the Saints feet,) we in
the next breath say we don’t be
lieve it and will not perform the
rile, we then become to be liars,
and that is the class that I have de
clared a non-fellowship with—■
“Tlie Liar.” There is one charge
that I am ready to plead guilty to,
that is, contending for the faith
that was once delivered to the
saints, and contended for by some
of the Smyrna Association. Now
in conclusion, feet washing cuts no
figure with me, hut your lying does.
Rev. 22, 15. Yours to serve in the
gospel.

No more “fussing” because you
can’t get nice Dress Goods and
Trimmings. Mr. Paxson Inis sent
Mr. Wooten to New York to buy
the finest goods he can find.
Says The Mormons Have Stolen His
Wife and Children.
A special from Fitzgerald last
Saturday, says :
“Yesterday a horse with a bug
gy attached came up to Mr. Tom
Howell’s, a prominent farmer liv
ing near Ocilla, this county, and
from the looks of the horse it was
thought he had been without an
owner some time. Mr. Howell,
with his neighbors, at once insti
tuted a search for the owner of the
rig and some hours afterwards a
white man was found wandering
through tiie woods in a demented
condition.
From letters found in his. posess
ion it was learned that the man’s
name was J. M. Word, ol Macon,
who represents the Excelsior Med
icine Company of Waycross. Mr.
Word (it may he Ward) told Mr.
Howell that the mormons had kill
ed his wife and children and wen
then after him. Mr. Howell took
him to Willacoochee, where lie was
turned over to the authorities to
receive proper medical treatment.
Before parting witii Mr. Howell
he gave him his watch and chain
and requested that lie send it to his
wife at Macon. The rig was iden
tified as belonging to him, and it is
thought with good treatment he
will pull through his present con
dition.”
For Men Only.
The ladies will please not read
this. Mr. Wooten lias gone to
New York to buy my Fall and
Winter Stock of Clothing and
Overcoats. Every piece of iny
Clothing therefore will be brand
new stuff, and his selections will
enable me to please and fit every
man and boy who comes forclothes.
