Hair Splits
“I have used Aver’s Hair Vigor
for thirty years. It is elegant for
a hair dressing and for keeping the
hair from splitting at the ends.”—
J. A. Gruenenfelder, Grantfork, 111.
Hair-splitting splits
friendships. If the hair
splitting is done on your
own head, it loses friends
for you, for every hair of
your head is a friend.
Ayer’s Hair Vigor in
advance will prevent the
splitting. If the splitting
has begun, it will stop it.

MOLESA MRSTIOK.
Molena, Ga., July 28.—A few
showers fell here last Friday, but rain
generally through this section is needed
badly.
The P ike county tax returns show a
net gain over last year of $140,783.20,
showing one of two things: that the
property in P.ke has greatly increased,
or that the receiver has urged upon the
people to give in their property for
something like its value.
Our sign for laying by has come. The
boys put on their Sunday clothes on
Sunday, go to church, keep them on
Monday morning, and the first one that
comes along and tells him—don’t care
how grassy his crop is—that it will do
his crop more harm than good to work
it this '.ate and to go a-fishing, he will
readily agree with them. There have
been more bales of cotton lost just by
laying it by in the grass than the
drouth cut off. Crops are one month
late and should be worked until the
15th of August.
We attended preaching at old Beulah
church Sunday. It reminded me of my
boyhood days, having no organ to
destroy the sweet melodies of the old
tunes, when we could hear the shat
tered voices of our mothers join in the
choir and see the people going home in
their wagons, some afoot, some 10 or 15
little babies to help make the congrega
tion. But now it is out of fashion to
carry the poor little innocent things to
church for fear they will disturb the
preacher by crying; but that does not
bother him as badly as to see several
more interested in conversation than in
the preacher's sermon. Brother Wm.
Carreker, the pastor, is a zealous work
er and promised us that he would be at
the general meeting at Mt. Olive. The
annual meeting will be protracted this
week.
W e heard a great deal of shooting in
the neighborhood of R. 0. Howard’s
Saturday night. The boys are all spot
ted and court week is coming on, as the
law prohibits shooting along the public
highways. The people are determined
to carry it out, so they say. Now, boys,
this is wrong; drink your liquor at
home and throw your pistols away.
Charley Story and Miss Laura Hidles
were married last Sunday evening, Lum
Barrett, Esq., performing the cere
mony,
We saw the best eleven acres of fresh
land corn this morning that we have
seen this year. Al«o enjoyed eating
some fine watermelons and grapes, all
belonging to our neighbo', Ernest J.
Reeves, who with this issue becomes a
subscriber to the G. S. W. If all the
people who left around here for South
west Georgia and Texas last fall could
see this fine field of corn they would be
obliged to confess that old Fike is a gar
den of Eden to any of that sickly coun
try where they never have any good
water to drink.

Catarrh of the Stomach.
When the stomach is overloaded,
when food is taken into it that fails
to digest, it decays and inflames
the mucous membrane, exposing
the nerves, and causes tbe glands
to secret muqin, instead of the
natural juices of digestion. This
is called Catarrh of the Stomach.
For years I suffered with Catarrh
of the Stomach, caused by Indiges
tion. Doctors and medicines failed to
benefit me until I used Kodol Dys
