That although alike in general appearance, there is a vast difference in material, make-up and general construction of the ordinary farm wagon ?
That in wagons, as in nearly all other kinds of manufactured goods, there is one particular make or brand that stands pre-eminently above all others and is
recognized as the standard ?
That in wagons that brand is “THE MITCHELL*” built by the Mitchell & Lewis Co., Ltd., Racine, Wis., and sold at Tifton only by l’ADRICK BROS.?.
That “THE MITCHELL” has for nearly sixty-five years been recognized as the standard all over the North and Wpst, and is known as the “ Monarch of the
Road” on account of its durability, light draft, perfect proportions and fine finish ?
If you are a farmer and want a wagon you cannot afford to buy some other make simply because it is a few dollars lower in price. “THE MITCHELL” will
last longer, run lighter, look better and prove far cheaper in the end. We also carry high grade buggies.
You can save many of them by taking advantage of our Cash Prices in every line of
goods in our store. Come and see wliat we are offering.

have originated in th$ cylinder, which
caused the rocker-arm to slip off its
piston. Mr. Knight leaned acioss
the belt to raise it up, but it slipped
from his hand and fed between the
belt and drive-wheel, bursting both.
The belt struck Mr. Knight, Knock
ing him down, and a spoke from the
broken wheel struck bin leg, inflicting
sevon fractures between the knee and
ankle, and breaking both bones at
the lowest point.
Artistic Beauties.
Mr. J. G. Padrick 1ms just finished
mounting six fine crayon drawings,
the work of members of Miss Eva
Payne’s art class, that are rare gems
of artjstic skill. There are three
’noises’ heads, grouped, and a rare
conception of Maud Muller, from the
pencil of Miss Ethel Padrick; a
brookside scene and a deer drinking
at a stream, by .Miss Willie Fulwood;
a cow and calf, by Miss Isadora Tim
mons, and a dog, mentioned last week,
by J. G. Padrick.
The drawings are true and lifelike,
and, considering the short time the
artists had been studying, show won
derful skill. The frames are very
handsome und form a fit setting.
There are also two drawings by
Mrs. F. G. Boatright, one by Andebre
Baldridge and one by Carrie Tift,
belonging to the Bame class, which
the writer has not yet seen, but which
are said to be of equal merit to those
already framed.

of the vast possibilities of Georgia

Not a fow who read what Mr. Robert
Itowls, of Hollands, Va., has to say below,
will remember their own experience un
der like circumstances: “I ast winter 1
had lagrlppo which left me in alow state
of health. I tried numerous remedies,
none of which did me any good, until I
was induced to try a bottle of Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy. The first bottle
of it so far relieved me that I was en
abled to attend to my work, and the sec
ond bottle effected a cure. For saloat

The Ticker in Fitzgerald.
As soon as the catting oat of the
right-of-way of the Tifton and North
eastern is finished to Fitzgerald,
which will be in u few days, and be
fore the completion of the road, a
telegraph line will lie run from
Tifton to the colony town. It is-
very appropriate that Fitzgerald’s
first electric touch with the world at
large should be through Iter hustling
neighbor, Tifton.
