Side Tracked-
Fur a thoroughly enjoyable enter
tainment, there is no attraction before
the public that so completely fills the
bill, as that cyclone of comedy,‘'Side
Tracked," which will appear at the
Olympic on Friday night. “Side
Tracked" is one of those irresistably
funny comedies which appeal to all
classes. The plot while not deep is
clean cut and deeply interesting. The
dialogue is bright and the humor ori
glnal There is not a dull moment
during the production. *
Everybody derives benefit, from a
little pleasurable recreation and there
is nothing like a good laugh to dispel
dark illusions and drive dull care
away. Now if you will attend the
Olympic on thie date, Jan 27 you will
spend two and a half hours of hila
rious enjoyment, in witnessing a pro
duction of that sparkling comedy
Catchy music, bright specialties and
ludicrous situations are the order of
things from start to finish. Tickets
dow on sale at usual place.
A Clever Trick-
It certainly looks like it, but there
is really no trick about it. Any body
can try it who has Lame Back and
Weak Kidneys, Malaria or nervous
troubles. We mean be can cure him
self right away by taking Electric Bit
ters. This medicine tones up the
whole system, acts as a stimulant to
the Liver and Kidneys, is a blood puri
fier and nerve tonic. It cures Consti
pation, Headache, Fainting Spells,
Sleeplessness and Melancholy It is
purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and
restores the system to its natural vigor

SRIFFIN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 26, 1898.
CENTRAL BEACHING OUT
I. in. ~
Indications Are Now That It Will
Soon Haye a Line to the Gulf.
According to all indications, the
Central of Georgia railway is to have
an outlet ou the gulf coast It. is re
ported that the Central is l.» extend its
line from Saarigbt, Ahi , to Pensacola,
a distance of 118 miles. This would
give it something for which, under
the new conditions, the railroads are
now contemping-i line to a port on
tbe gulf of Mexico. With new West
India trade and the immense business
to be transacted, if tbe Nicaragua ca
nal is bui'.t, the gulf ports will do "the
business of the country. This move of
the Central, therefore, to go into Pen
sacola, where there is a fine harbor ,
and water front, is both significant
and interesting
The Mobile and Girard railroad is a
road from Columbus to Searight, in
south Alabama, 121 miles long. It '
was built as an independent road, it j
being planned to extend it to Mobile.
The road became absorbed into the
Central’s system in time. The suppo- f
sition that tbe Mobile and Girard is to
be extended into Pensacola is based ‘
on ihe fact that an extension of twen
ty one miles from Seargihl to Anda- ’
lusia, Ala , has already been decided
upon. The total distance from Sea- j
right to Pensacola is 118 miles. The ,
road would go through timbered sec
tions Tbe building would tend to cut i
off certain advances of the Plant sys- <
tem in that section. £
A correspondent has been reliably
informed that certain parties at Se»-
right received a telegram from Vice
President Eagan, of the Central, ac- [
cepting their bid for a certain portion t
of the work of extension to Andalusia t
for ten miles Incidentally, the tele ’
gram slated it la understood that the 5
to”n of Andalusia had pul up $6,000 f
for the road, and that cars would be I
running into that town by October Ist. I

Georgia’s Greatest Need- J
Io a recent issue of the Athens *
Banner we find the following timely 1
comment:
“Georgia has many needs, but none <
so complely apparent as the need of 1
diversified industries. Our’ people
have become enamored of the one crop
idea and the Georgia farmer is never
so happy as when he can look over hie
broad acres and see them full of cot- ,
ton- So with the manufactories in J
the south. They are most part
cotton mills.
“Now aside from the staple crop of
cotton and a few minor matters, the
south is entirely a buying section. It 1
is a buying section because it is fore- i
ed te be so on account of the lack of I
divers !! d industries. And it must
be borne iu mind that those who con- 1
tinually by and sell not cannot pross .
per.
“There are thousands of different
kinds of articles sold over the coun
ters in Athens everv day. Very, very
few of those articles are made in the
south, and yet niuetj-3ve per cent of
them could b made profitably in this
section of the country. It is certainly
worth the trouble for our people to
look into these things thoroughly,
“If cut farmers will diversify their
crops and our manufactories will di
versify their industries, a better and
more prosperous day will soon dawn
upon the south."

In Olden Times
People overlooked the importance of per
manently beneficial effects and were satis
fied with transient action; but now that it
is generally known that Syrup of Figs will
permanently overcome habitual constipa

other laxatives, which act for a time, but
finally injure the system. Buy tbe genu

Deafness Cannot be Cired
By local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
closed by an inflamed condition of the
muco.’s lining of the Eqstachian Tube.
When ibis tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is tbe
i result, and t nless the inflammation can be
taken out s id this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; './me cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de
posit or strong odor.
When sri-n’orr.s a’e present, no
time should L-e lust in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may run
into Bright's Disease, the most dangerous
stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such diseases. Its reputation is world
wide and it is so easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention The Middle
Georgia Farmer, and write to Dr. Kil
mer & Co,, Binghamton, N. Y.. f.r a
sample bottle and book telling all about it,
both sent absolutely free by mail. 1
