treasurer of the American Union Life

‘Hyomel has completely cured my
daughter of catarrh irom which she

Probably the strongest evidence that
can be offered as to the powers ol
llyomei to cure catarrh is the fact tliat
Brook’s drugstore will agree to refund
the money it you say Hyomel has not
cured you.
The complete llyomei outfit costs
but $1 (Hi and consists ot an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket a
medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyo

if one bottle does not cure an extra
hottie of llyomei can be obtained for
50 cents.
Now is a good time to cure your
catarrh.

A Busy Season at Indian Springs.
Indian Spring, from which pure
mineral water, aood for many ills, has
coin? trickling down through » huge
reck irom time immemorial, mill flows
on, but at the present season for pleas
ure and health seekers has passed the
zenith of all other summer seasons. Des
pite the great St. Louis fair, to which
countless thousands of people are flock
ing from all over the world, there have
been large crowds at this popular sum
mer resort for several months past,
though they are now leaving in great
droves and soon the place will be dull
and desolate till another glad summer
rolls around the calendar of time.
Many Griffin people have visited
Indian oprings the past season. Among
those there last week to spend a
period of time and take in the Holiness
camp-meeting near by were: Mr. and
Mrs. Douglas Boyd and children, Mr.
and Mrs. R. F. Strickland, Mr. and
Mrs, Edward Smith, Mrs. Wilson Mat
thews, Miss Kate Camp, Miss Rosabell
Newton, Miss Alline Atwater, Mr. and
Mrs. W. F, McLair, Mrs. E. W. Ham
mond. Miss lone Hammond, Mr. J. H.
Walker, Mr. W. D. Knott, Mr. Emmett
McKibben. Mr. W. F. Bolton and
others.
A pall of gloom was thrown over all
the guests Sunday e rening when a beau
tiful young lady, Miss Cogggins, of
Goggans station, lost her life in a run
away. While riding in a buggy the
horse* frightened near the
bridge and ran away. The young
woman was thrown out of the buggy
and received injuries from which she
died before reaching home.
At Flovilla, three miles from the
Springs, Saturday night a negro se
riously cut the town marshal with a
knife while the officer was trying to
arrest him. It was thought he would
die, but at last accounts he was still
alive. The negro made good his escape-
The marshal was shot by an evil-doer a
couple of years ago, and seems to be
murder- proof. He is a clever fellow
and a brave officer of the law.
The Holiness Camp-meeting, half
way between the Springs and Flovilla,
closed Sunday night after a two week’s
run. It was a glorious meeting and
generally conceded by those attending
tobethebist held in the past twelve
or fifteen years. Revs. Smith, of Cali
fornia, and Rev. O, M. Dunaway, the
magnetic Georgia evangelist, were
among the prominent preachers taking
part and doing most of the preaching,
while Charlie Tillman was there to lead
the singing. Service was held at al
most every hour during the day and till
nine and ten o’clock at night, and much
good was the inevitable result of the
meeting., There are many comfortable
cottages at the Holiness Camp-ground,
and it is one of the best places in Geor
gia to hold a great religious meeting
