W illiam Y. Atkinson.
The death of ex-Governor William
Y. Atkinson, which occurred at liis
homo at Newnan last Tuesday morn
ing at 9 o’clock after fifteen days
illness with dysentery, removes from
Georgia the most fearless political
leader, the most determined charac
ter to accomplish his purposes, one
of the most brilliant minds we have
ever had and in ail things one of our
best and greatest men. He was true
to his convictions, true to his triends
and true to every trust imposed in
him by his people. 'The state is in
debted to him for the executive
ability he displayed as governor for
two terms and for years of useful
service in the Georgia legislature.
He was the author of the act creating
the Normal and Industrial school
for girls, at Milledgeville, for which
the women of Georgia will hold his
name in loving recollection and
which will stand as a monument to
his memory.
His pluck and persistency was ad
mired even by those who differed
with him and as a valient soldier in
life’s battle ho was backed by a per
sonal following such as few men in
Georgia have ever been able to count
on. The pluck, persistency and per- J
severance which he possessed en
abled him to successfully combat
alj difficulties and surmount all
obstacles and write his name high
in the annals of Georgia.
His death is a distinct loss to Geor
gia and a personal sorrow to many
of her people. The sympathy of the
whole state goes out to that good
old mother who is now 79 years old;
to brothers, sister and relatives, and
especially his widow and children
in their terrible affliction.

Promptly Reaches the Seat blood remedies. It matters not how ob
of , all n. Blood . n Diseases and
. always promptly reaches and cures any
CD lir ui GO th ill TO U/nr ITul GO f I era TO GO a u GO i disease Everyone where who the blood has had is in any experience way involved, with
blood diseases knows that there are no ail
ments or troubles ., so obstinate , and difficult to cure. Very few remedies claim
to cure such real, deep-seated blood diseases as S. S. S. cures, and none can
offer such incontrovertible evidence of merit. S S. S. is not merely a tonic—it
is a cure. It goes down to the very seat of all blood diseases, a*ia gets at the
foundation of the very worst cases, and routs the poison from the system. Itdoeg
not, like other remedies, dry up the poison and hide it from view temporarily,
only to break forth again more violently than ever; S. S. S. forces out every
trace of taint, and rids the system of it forever.
Mrs.T. W. Lee, Montgomery, Ala., writes: “Some years
ago I was inoculated with poison by a nurse who infected
my babe with blood taint. I was covered with sores and
ulcers from head to foot, and in my great extremity I prayed
to die. Several prominent physicians treated me, but all
to no purpose. The mercury 'an P- potash which they
gave me seemed to add fuel to the P w iul flame which was L
devouring wonderful me. I was advised by friends who had c seen
cures made by it, to try Swift’s Specific. I im
proved from the start, as the and medicine seemed to go direct
to the cause of the trouble force the poison out. Twenty
bottles cured me completely.” Swift’s Specific—
S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD
—is the only remedy that is guaranteed purely vegetable, and contains no
mercury, potash, arsenic, or any other mineral or chemical. It never fails to
cure Cancer, Eczema, Scrofula, Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison.

business demoralized. Fair prices
mean prosperity. Your grocery
bill will be more satisfactory if
you deal with a grocer who offers
no baits, but charges fair, uni
