Kidney PHI* and they proved to be ail
that is 01*nurd for them. I suffered
from kidney complaint and backache
for a number o( years. Right across
the email of my back was a dull heavy
oonstan' pain, aom-rime to wvto as to
compel m<- io lay off from duty and
which kept me awake half the night.
My back felt at times as though it was
breaking in two and as though there
was a heavy weight laying right across
my loins. I could not rise after stoop
ing or sitting lor any length of time
wifhont taking hold of something for
suppori. The kidney secretions wore
out of sorts, dark colored and contained
a sediment I used any number of
different remedies, but nothing gave
me much relief until I procured Doan's
Kidney Pills from Brooks Drug Store
and used them. They relieved me Hi
most immediately and since then my
back has beoome strong, the pain and
aching disappeared and the action of
the kidneys became natural and nor
mal. You are welcome to the use of
my name as one who is glad to recom
mend such a reliable remedy toothers.'’

The remarkable fall of a cent in
cotton in the local markets was
caused by the fact that it could no
longer be shipped to New York in
time to fill September contracts and
therefore went at once to the Octo
ber basis. The bulls had kept
September up, but had not ventured
to manipulate October, and the re
sult was that the market here,
which had closed at the day
before, opened yesterday at 9% and
speedily went down to 9% ana 9%.

HUMAN LIFE.
Sad is our youth, for it is ever going.
Crumbling away beneath our very
feet;
Sadis our life, for onward it is flowing
In current utiperceived, because so
fleet;
Sad are our hopes, for they were sweet
in sowing—
But tares, selr-sown, have overtopped
the wheat;
Sad are our joys, for they were sweet
in blowing—
And stil’, O stiP, their dying breath is
sweet;
And sweet is youth, although it hath
bereft us
Os that which made our childhood
sweeter still;
And sweet our life’s decline, for it hath
left us
A neart r good to cure an older ill;
And sweet are nil things when we learn
to prize them,
Not for their sake, but His who
grants them or denies them !

Residence Destroyed
At three o’clock yesterday morn
ing the dwelling house of H, C.

destroyed by fire, together with nil
furniture and household goods.
Mr. Deane was the only one at
home, his wife and children being
at Vaughns, and he did not wake up
until the house was in a light blaze,
barely escaping with his life.
The fire is supposed to have orig
inated in the kitchen, but is » mvs

The loss is estimated at 12,000,
with $1,200 insurance.

headway when he got there, how
ever, and it was impossible to ex
tinguish it. Only two walls were
left standing and the house is thus
completely ruined.
The hose wagon was sent to the
shops yesterday for repa’rs and a

HARVIE JORDAN
ELECTED BY FARMERS
Georgia Man and the Well Known Writer
on Farming Qo.etiona Honored
by National Farmers.
Niagara Falls, N. Y , Sept. 25.—
Hon. Harvie Jordan, of Georgia,
and a well known contributor to the
Atlanta Jourml on agricultural
subjects, was unanimously elected
president of the Farmers’ National
Congress here today.
The gift of the high office came
as a great surprise to Mr. Jordan.
The congress is composed of some
of the most notable men in the
United States and represents in its
membership millions of acres of
farm lands and millions of dollars
in wealth.
First Cost Not the Cheapest.
The first cost of an article does
not necessarily determine its cheap
nass. For instance, a sack of "Clif
ton” Hour may cost you a little
more than other so-called patent
flours, but it will be cheaper to you
in the end. Why? Because it will
not only make more bread to the
sack, but will take less lard and so
da to make it. Order a sack of
"Clifton” and make a test for your
self. It will prove the truth of this
statement. W. H. Brewer, Cop

LIVELY MARRIAGE
INCIDENT.
'A wo Meo Go to Wrbater to Wed the Same
Young Lady.
A friend visited the Americas
Press office Saturday and in the
course of conversation he told of a
rather sp'cy incident which took
place at Webster last Friday. It
seems that two gentlemen, a Geor
gian and a Fioridian, had fallen
victims to the charms of a young
lady, a Miss Daniels, of Webster,
and arranged to marry her. The
two gentlemen were not acquainted
with each other, and it so happened
that they both made a trip to Web
ster last Friday for the purpose of
marrying Miss Daniels.
They reached the place on the
same train, and consequently one
not knowing the mission of the oth
er. The Floridian, it seems, bad
arranged before arriving at Web
ster for a team to meet him there
and take him at once to the home
of the young lady, a short distance
from the station. The Georgian had
not arranged hie plans in this re
spect, and hud to look up a team
af‘er arriving at Webster. The
Floridian went right ahead to the
home of the young lady and the
Georgian followed within a very
short while, but when he arrived at
the young lady’s home and stopped
at the gate, the young lady’s brother
went out to meet him and informed
him thet his sister had just married
the gentleman from Florida, the
ceremony being closed just as he
drove up to the house. The Geor
pian went in, ho vever, and met tho
bride and groom, and was greatly
surprised to recognize, in the
gentleman who had married the
lady whom he expected to wed, the
sane man th;t had arrived with
himself a short while before at
Webster. The trio returned to
Webster together, and left on the
same train for their prospective
homes, tho Georgian riding with
thorn fts far as Albany, at. which
place he left tho train to proceed to
his home near by. The names of
the two gentlemen interested could
not be gotten, but the incident will
not likely bo forgotten by any of
them.
Vererans Reunion.
Wk-
one cent a mile, which is the low
est ever offered.
The reunion will be one of the
most important in many years, and
information already in from the
two States evidences active prepar
ation all along the line for a large
attendance.
Among the most important meas
ures to engage the attention of the
veterans will be the question of
rearing a monument to the devoted
women ot Georgia, tne compilation
of a Georgia roster, and discussion
anent the needs of soldiers’ home
for the veterans of the gray.
The old time Confederate City is
already at work and the reunion
spirit is ia the air. Every indication
promises a greater and grander suc
cess than the reunion held three
years since.
A hearty and cordial welcome is
promised to all who attend.
Georgia Crop 300,000 Bales
Short.
Georgia’s cotton crop, according
to a statement issued by the State
department of agriculture, will ba
1,076,000 bales. This is the esti
mate placed on the Georgia
outtnn crop from ths Sep
tember reports, which have
just been received and compil
ed by Commissioner of Agriculture
Stevens. Last year the Georgia
output was 1,470,000 bales, and this
year the crop is estimated at 300,-
000 bales less.
These figures are in direct conflict
with those issued by tho United
States department of agriculture
several days ago, and will no
doubt- cause considerable of a flur
ry in the market. The government
report plaot d the Georgia crop at
82 per cen\ while Commissioner
Stevens, in t-lio statement issued
yesterday, save it is only 69 per cent.
In June rhe crop was estimated at
83, and t hus it can be seen what a
gr-at deterioration has taken place
within three months' time.
In addition to the es .imate of the
cotton crop, the condition of other
crops is also given by Commissioner
Stevens. Corn is estimated at 86,
rice at 91, forage orops at 87, live
stock at 93, sweet potatoes at 79,
tobacco at 87, peas at 77 and ground
peas at 82

Indigestion Is often caused by over

the harm done thus exceeds that from ‘
the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don’t over*

may refuse to digest what you eat..
Then you need a good digestant like f ,
