The crowd that left here this morn
ing at 7 :30 o’clock for Indian Spring,
was probably the largest number of
picnicera that ever left Griffin. It is
estimated that fully 700 met), women
and children, were aboard the train
when it pulled out of the Southern
yards. The day has been a perfect
one, Indian Spring is an ideal place
(or a picnic, and everyone doubt’eei
had a most pleasant trip, The train
will rsturn this evening at 7 o’clock.
Pitts’ Carminative is pleasant to the
taste, acts promptly, and never fails to
give satisfaction. It carries children over
the critical time of teething, and is the
friend ot anxious mothers and puny chil
dren. A few doses will demonstrate its
value. E. H. Dorsey, Athens, Ga., writes:
“I consider it the best medicine I have ev

claim for it, and even more.’’

Eeafness Cannot bo Cured
by local applications as they cann -X reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition oi the
mucous lining oi the Eustachian Lube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, d< afne-s is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the moem- ur
ftices.
Wc will give One Hundred Doi hrs for
any case of Deafness (caused by tfarrh)

TO CURE A FELON.
Hoi' to A'rrnt 1 h<«<- DanKerono ar.'i
Painful Sore.,
A felon isas' vere and usually a most
painful inflammation of the end of the
finger. mor" commonly either the thumb
or index finger of the right hand, for
the reason that these an most exposed
f,. the little wounds from which the
trouble starts- hut any of the fingers,
or even one of ti■■■ t""s, may be the seat
of a felon.
The intlaum on starts generally]
from the prick m h pin or needle or I
fi >in a scratch <r cut, but often the
wound is so slight that no notice is
taken of it until the linger begins to
grow sore. The soreness soon passes in
to actual pain, and this rapidly becomes
most intense and throbbing, and some
times is felt all-the way up the arm.
It is worse, when the hand is allowed
to hang down. The ball of the finger is
hot, red and swollen. At the same time
the patient feels more or less ill, is fe
verish, and has a headache and rapid
pulse.
When the inflammation is deep seat
ed, pus collects beneath the periosteum,
or membrane covering the bone, and
this greatly increases the distress as
well as the danger. If allowed to go on
unrelieved, the inflammation may creep
up the finger into the palm of the hand,
and then the condition becomes a most
serious one. In almost any case when
once pus lias formed beneath the perios
teum more or less of the bone will die,
leaving the end of the finger crippled or
disfigured by a deep scar.
When the treatment is begun very
early, it is sometimes possible to cut
short the inflammation by cold cloths
applied continuously to the inflamed
part. These must be frequently renew
ed. for it allowed to get warm they will
act as poultices and rather hasten sup
purati >n than arrest it. At the same
time the arm should he kept in a sling,
with the hand raised and resting on
the chest.
If the inflammation does not rapidly
subside under this treatment, we must
reverse it and try to bring matters to a
head by means of poultices or wet
cloths applied as hot as they can be
borne and changed very often.
The only thing to be done when pus
has formed is to ent the finger and let
it out. This is painful enough for the
instant, but it will prevent many days
of acute suffering and all danger of
severe inflammation of the hand and
arm, with subsequent blood poisoning

SECONDHAND SHOES.
1.1 I <-n si» <• llepairn Muy Be Made For ’
V cry lit lie .Money.
A sign hanging in front of a shoe
maker’s shop where secondhand shoes
were sold had upon it these words
‘•tseeondhand Shoes With New I Tppers.
It seemed almost as though a pair of
secondhand shoes with new uppers
would be practically new- shoes, but in
quiry showed that this impression was
not warranted by the facts. There is a
good deal of fresh material in a pair of
shoes thus repaired, but there is also
kit a good deal of th.- old.
The m-w upper thus put in is a new
vamp, the front part of the upper. The
old counter, or back part of the shoe,
still remains It is a familiar fact that
while the <-ount'-r may break down or
wear out or get a hole in it somehow it
is much more likely to stay sound and
good. It is the front that cracks and
br.-ahs. Awl so in putting secondhand
shoes in order new vamps are some
times put in. But while such a shoe,
which had til-" be. n sol I and he 1< d,
might easily be <l<-cril>> d as having un
dergone > x’tensive repairs it would still
be far from wholly new. Th ■..• nld
remain, I--ides tin- old counter, the
shank awl the inner s.-T awl theg -n
oral shay.'awl iramew rk of the shoe,
and upon these ‘.he repairs could be
mad'
Secondhand shoes bring various
prices, depending on their original
quality and their condition. A pair i f
secondhand shoes, resoled and reheeled
and with new uppers, can be bought

REGARDLESS OF AGE.
The kidnevs are responsible for more
sic' j suffering, ana deaths than any
otb r organs of the body.
A majority of the ills afflicting people
today is traceable to kidney trouble. It
pervades all classes of society, in all cli
me ■«, regardless of age, sex or condition.
Tut mptoins of kidney trouble are un
mistai. . • , such as rheumatism, neuralgia
sleeple -sness, pain or dud ache in the back
a desire to urinate often day or n.ght, pro
fuse or scanty supply.
Uric acid, or brick-dust deposit in urine
are signs of clogged kidneys, causing pois
oned and germ-tilled blood. Sometimes
the heart ac's badly, and tube casts (wast
ing of the kidneys) are found in the urine,
which if neglected will result in Bright's
Disease, the most dangerous form of kid
ney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions are
promptly removed under the influence of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. It has a world
wide reputation for its wonderful cures of
the most distressing cases.
No one need be long without it as it is
so easy to get at any drug store at fifty
cents or one dollar. You can have a sam
ple bottle of this wonderful discovery,

it, both sent to you absolutely free by mail
