The prosperity of a town, vil lage or city is not guided by the wealth of its inhabitants, but by the uniformity with which they pull together when any important duty is to be accomplished. A man with a thousand dollars at his command, and an interest in the welfare of his town at heart, can do more for the. building and improvement of it than a mil lionaire who locks up his capital and snaps his finger at home progress.—Hope Gazette. Would not Sufler ho Again for Fifty Times ltn Price. I awoke last night with severe pains in my stomach. I never felt so badly in all my life. When I came down to work this morning I felt so weak I could hardly work. I went to Miller – McCurdy’s drug store and they recommended Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It worked like magic and one dose fixed me all right. It certainly is the finest thing I ever used for stomach trouble. 1 shall not be without it in my home hereafter, for I should not care to endure the sufferings of last night again for fifty times its price.—G. H. Wilson, Livery man, Burgettstown, Washington county, Pa. This remedy is for sale by J. B. Ryals <% Co., Drug gitts. .1 1 Most of us “miss our opportu- is nity,” because the opportunity not belled, and does not attract our attention. Nine people out of ten are blind where their own best interests are concerned. When you start out to “tackle” the finny tribe don’t iorget to take a bot tle of Dr. Tichenor’s Antiseptic. Noth ing equal to it for fin wounds, fishhook wounds, bites and stings of insects and it is no bad thing for “snake bite.” Remember it cures colic also while you wait about ten minutes Your drug gist can sell it as fast as you can buy it Price 50c. i The Sunday Ordinance. The ordinance passed by the mayor and council last week pro hibiting the sale of any article ou Sunday, other than medicine by druggists, was wholly observed last Sunday. beloved Rev. E. Culpepper, the pastor of the First Baptist Church, announced from the pul pit that observed it was in Cordele, the first that Sunday sales ever had always been made in Cordele and mostly by church members. He commended the council for the ordinance, but. thought it strange that it was incessary for the coun cil to have to force the people by an ordinance to observe the Sab bath. All places of business—meat markets, bakeries, livery stables and other places where sales have been going on—were closed, and no soda water or cigars could be bought at the drug stores. Even those who have made sales seemed to be satisfied, and those who have been buying will get used to doing without within a Sunday or two. I want loom and money, and I am going to offer my goods at such a ow price that it will come ; for I am fixing to leave in a few days for the eastern markets and I must lave money, and those wanting to >uy will save 50% by waiting un ;il you see my enormous stock and ;he bargains I am now offering, for I am going to sell off my entire stock at a greatly reduced price. respectfully invite all to come and see what bargains 1 am now offering. A. Roobin, Cordele, Ga. Baptist** Grant Their Pastor a Rest. Rev. Elam Culpepper left yes terday and has gone directly to Curryville, Ga., where he joins his family at the home of his mother. The Baptist church here of which he is pastor, has granted Rev. Culpepper a rest for 30 days. We trust he will return much in vigorated from the North Georgia climate. Smallpox in Dooly. Ordinary Hargrove says there are 20 cases of smallpox 3 j miles east of Vienna, and 30 cases about six miles east of Richwood. All negroes.

It is said that the purchasers have plenty of money and will operate the plant on a larger scale than ever before. Mrs. W, B. Cone Dead. The quiet home of Dr. W. B. Cone was robbed of a Christian wife and mother at 4 o’clock Wednesday evening when Mrs. Mamie Jackson Cone closed her eyes to the light of this world and opened them to the light of angels an other where God and the are.
