then the blood becomes muddy and

of Cooper’s New Discovery will get the
stomach back in shape. The tired
feeling will surely disappear if this is
done.
This letter tells what a woman thinks
who tried it:
*‘l suffered from loss of appetite,
poor digestion and general breaking
down. I was so weak I could scarcely
get about. I felt tired and worn out
nearly all the time. Upon hearing of
the great things Cooper’s New Discov

was, I began to use it. By the time
the first bottle was gone my condition
was immensely improved. I now feel
strong again and do my own work with
ease. Please accept my sincere

Important Meeting of Board of Ed*
cation.
The city board of education meets to
night at the council chamber for im
portant bussness, this being tha annual
meeting of that body. The election of
teachers in all the public schools of the
city will be the most important feature

hended that few if any changes will be
made among those applying for re
election. At this meeting it is quite
probable that some suggestions will te
ma.ie relative to the new building or
buildings to be erected for the schools,
the city having recently provided the
sum ol $25,000 for this purpose. It is
possible that such building as is adopt
ed will be completed before the opening
of the next January term, if it can be
done within that time.

Miss Scarbrough and Mr. Heys Wed
Sunday.
i
A marriage with quite romantic tinge
on Sunday morning was that of Miss
Mary Kate Scarborough and Mr.
William Heys, both of Americus.
Owing to some parental objection the
young couple quietly flitted away Sun
day morning, driving over to Ellaville
where tbe nuptial knot was tied. The
pretty bride is one of Americus’ charm
ing and most accomplished young girls
and very popular among a wide circle
of friends, as is the handsome and
fortunate young groom. Mr. and Mrs.
Heys are at home at the residence of
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Jacobs, relatives
ofMr. Heys, where they are recipients
of many congratulations.
HAIR TELLS CHARACTER.
Color of llulr Said to Indicate a Per
son’s Temperament.
Many people believe that blonde, or
light hair denotes affection and dark
hair constancy. A person without hair
is not devoid of character; far from it.
The disposition of the average bald
headed man is to show such soUcitude
for the welfare of others, that he neg
lects himself. A germ causes baldness.
Prof. Sabouraud, of Paris, France, in
