THE ALAPAHA BRIDGE.
Will
Work Progressing on Big Fill.
Civs Now Routs North.
Work on the reconstruction of the
bridge over the Alapaha river on
the Tifton-Irwinville road is pro
gressing in good shape, the north
end fill being complete and the
south end All being well under way.
When the fills are made, there
will remain a waterway of about
100 feet which will be spanned. This
waterway being located about mid
way of the old bridge.
The work being done at'this point
on the Alapaha will do away with
the long bridge that has been there,
and will make a permanent improve
ment and will for all time give
route to Irwinville, Fitzgerald and
points that way from Sycamore as
well as Tifton and will, if the roads
leading to the bridge are put in
shape, make a short and desirable
route that will doubtless become
quite popular.
TIFTON CELEBRATES.
SINCE DAD DIVERSIFIES.
Our barns are full of corn and hay
To feed old Dan and Mat;
The cow* are fed well every day.
The hogs are sleek and fat.
The chickens make an awful fuss,
Some cacklin' all {lay long.
And them that ain’t a cacklin is
A-trying to sing a song.
And sis a new piano’s got,
That makes a lot of noue;
And brother bill a billy goat,
And me a lot of toys.
And you just ought to see Ma
With finery she’s plum hid;
And the old man you’d never know
Beneath that bee-gum lid.
And say I our cellar’s running* o’er
With taters and such stuff,
■To last us full ten years or more,
I know there is enough.
Our pantry shelves. I’ll tell you—
land
They’re just a brealdn’ down
With canned com, beans, tomatoes
And such stuff you' buy in town.
And

Just like a millionaire’s.
With canned com, beans, tomatoes,
Uke chicken, peas and pears.
And myl the cakes that we do down,
And such a lot of pies;
Fll tell you, we’re somebody now,
Since Dad diversifies!

How Catarrh la Contracted.
Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which
their children contract. The inflam
mation of the mucus membrane, at
first acute, becomes chronic and the
child has chronic catarrh a disease
that is seldom cured and that many
prove a life’s burden. Many persons'
who have this loathsome disease wiP
remember having had frequent colds
at the time it was contracted. A little
forethought, a bottle of Chamber-
sin’s Cough Remedy judiciously used,
and all this trouble might have been
avoided Obtainable everywhere.

Forgot Your Aches.
Stiff knees, aching limbs, lame
back make life a burden. If you suf
fer from rheumatism, gout, lumbago,
neuralgia, get a bottle of Sloan’s
Linament, the universal remedy for
pain. Easy to apply; it penetrates
without rubbing and soothes the ten
der flesh. Cleaner and more effec
tive than mussy ointments or poul
tices. For strains or sprains, sore
muscles or wrenched ligaments re
sulting from strenuous exercise,
Sloan’s Liniment gives quick relief.

“Pape's Diapapcin" Fixes Sour,
Gassy, Upset Stomachs
In Five Minutes.
If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like a lump of
lead, refusing to digest, or you belch
gas and eructate sour, undigested
food, or have a feeling of dizziness,
heartburn, fullness, nausea, bad
taste in mouth and stomach head
ache, you can surely get relief in
five minutes.
Ask your pharmacist to show you
the formula, plainly printed on these
flfty-cent cases of Pape’s Dinpepsin
then you will understand why dys
peptic troubles of all kinds must go,
and why it relieves sour, out-uf-or-
dcr stomachs or Indigestion in five
minutes. "Pape’s Dinpepsin" is
harmless; tastes like candy, though
each dose will digest and prepare
for assimilation into the blood all
the food you eat; besides, it makes
vou go to the table with a healthy
nppetite; but what will please you
most, is that you will feel that your
stomach and intestines are clean and
fresh, and you will not need to re
sort to laxatives or liver pills for
biliousness or constipation.
This city will have many ‘Pape’s
Dinpepsin" cranks, as some people
will call them, but you will be en
thusiastic about this splendid stom
ach preparation, too, if you ever
take it for indigestion, gases, heart
burn, sourness, dyspepsia, or any
stomach misery.
Get some now, this minute, and
rid yourself of stomach misery and
indigestion in five minutes.

First Town in State to Honor Wil-
son’s Re-election.
(By the City Editor.)
Tifton celebrated the news of
Woodrow Wiison’a victory in typical
style Thursday night, hundreds oi
people, including children to those
well past the prime of life, gathered
at the corner of ove and Second
and from 7:30 for two and a half
hours happiness reigned supreme.
Tho fun started when the band
began to play, followed by the fire
whistle; these being joined by the
whistle at the ice plant, fertilizer
works, railroad engines, and several
others.
Three balloons were sent up, the
first one did not get away far be
fore it was caught in a gust of wind
and tipped over. The second one
went off splendidly and sailed ma
jestically straight for Washington
os if in a hurry to get to tell Wilson
that Tift county was rejoicing over
his good fortune, and it kept on go
ing until it passed out of sight. The
third started well in the tracks of
the previous ne, but like the first
took fire and came down boon after
ascending.
Surprise Party Held.
When the noise had subsided to
some extent, Mr. Luther Williams
mounted an improvised “rostrum"
at the corner of Love and Second,
having been selected by the “boys"
as chairman of ceremonies, and told
the crowd that they had gathered to
do two things: Congratulate Wood-
row Wilson on his election and com
pliment Tifton on having the best
editor in the state and it was the
desire of the “boys” to show their
appreciation of the splendid assist
ance Editor Herring had given in
securing for Tifton, Tift county and
this section of the state the election
returns so promptly and completely.
Hardly had the speaker had time
to say what he started out to say be
fore men began to press forward
and before ten minutes had elapsed
neat sum of money had been
passed up to Mr. Williams with in
structions to him to see that Edi
tor Herring be given a good suit of
clothes as a token of the way the
people regarded him. A hat and sev
eral accesories had been presented,
previously.
This was done unbeknown to the
lucky man, who tired out from two
days and practically two nights of
steady duty on the Gazette, had
goen to his home to rest and refresh.
Following tho surprise party sev
eral men were called on to “say
something,” and the first one called
was Rev. C. W. Durden. Mr. Dur
den was bubbling over like a school
boy who had won his first honor
card, and he said that the people
were to be heartily congratulated on
having elected Wilson again. He al
so said in conclusion that ho heartily
concurred in the expression toward
Editor Herring, adding that Tifton
had the best editor in the state of
Georgia and that he for one wanted
to see him the best dressed Editor
in the state.
Mr. W. S. Cobb followed Rev.
Durden, and after him came Rev.
H. Jackson, Col. C. W. Fulwood,
Col. R. E. Dinsmore, Cel. B. C. Wil
liford, Col. Rob Hendricks, of Nash
ville. While these speakers were
being heard a committee went to
the home of Editor Herring and in
duced him to come down town for a
very “important” meeting. Mr.
Herring came and when he arrived
in the crowd he was asked to make a
speech.
He did, and it was a good one, but
he stated that the next time that
