“THE GREATEST KIDNEY
REMEDY ON EARTH” SAYS
A GRATEFUL WOMAN
"
I want to tell you how much good
■ycur Swamp-Root did me. About four
years ago. I suffered from what the
doctors called fistula and for two years
of that time I endured what no tongue
can tell. I also had inflammation of
the bladder and tried doctors’ medi
cines without receiving any help.
Someone told me about Dr. Kilmer’.
Swamp Root.
After giving it a thorough trial, I re
ceived relief, so kept on using it and
today I am a strong and well woman,
lr I ever feel badly or out of sorts, I
take Swamp-Root and it alwavs
straightens me Qut. I honestly be
lieve this medicine would cure all
troubles you recommend it for and it
is a pleasure for me to send my testi
mony and photograph to you. I
think Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is one
of the greatest medicines on earth.
Respectfully yours,
MRS. JOHN BAILEY,

Send to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham

Atlanta, Sept. B.—Atlanta’s long-de
bated question of just what is a tango
and a turkey trot and what is the
difference, will be settled this week,
when Frank Hale and Inez Patterson
dance at the Forsyth theatre. Manager
Hugh Cardoza arranged the booking
, especially to show the club folk the
real beauties of the dances which, have
set society talking from Skaguay to
Panama. The two dancers have given

SERVICES AT
FIRST CHURCH
FOR CHILDREN
SUNDAY SCHOOL IN CHARGE
Dr. Thomas Preaches a Spe
cial Sermon
Sunday was children's day at the
First Methodist church. Dr. J. A.
Thomas preached a special sermon for
the young Sunday school students and
over half of the audience was made up
of boys and girls. The Sunday school
choir furnished music for the occas
ion.
Dr. Thomas delivered a strong ser
mon in keeping with the occasion. Ho j
asked the young people present to
learn the meaning of the word “No.” ■
He said, in part:
“The average boy is prone to follow
the path of least resistance. When he
is in a crowd he does not determine
for himself his actions, but follows
the bunch. Every Jtoy reaches a
place where the road of life forks.
One way is broad and strewn with whs*
they are prone to call “good times,”
but it ends abruptly, and the many who
travels it is plunged ultimately into a
dark abyss.
“The other road,” he continued,
‘ seems hard to travel, but at the end
is the golden city. It’s up to every
young man to make his choice.
“The young people of today must
learn the meaning of the word ‘No’
It takes a braver boy to say ‘No,’ when
tempted by the crowd, than to say
‘Yes.’ The time to learn the mean
ing of the word is now.”
The first Sunday of each month wl'l
be devoted to the Sunday school pu
pils henceforth. Dr. Thomas especially
invites the young men of the town to
attend these meetings.
DICK UTTER WILL
LOCATE IN AMERICUS
Muckalee Receiver Has Been
Offered Position
Diet Utter Is in town. The hefty
receiver of the Muckalee squad sailed
in from Valdosta Monday on the
morning train. He was with Valdosta
during the post season series.
Dick was "black-listed” by Presi
dent Groover about 10 minutes before
the first game of the big series began.
The boy had worked in practice and
was expecting to go in. Manager Dud
ley and Otto Jordan finally agreed that
Dick should not play unless VanLand
ingham, the Valdosta catcher, was in
jured.
The Chicago boy has been offered *t
position with a firm in Americus and
nay spend the winter with us. Next
spring he will report to Atlanta for a
try-out, but it is more than likely that
Otto Jordan will land him In the long
run. The crafty leader has already
written Billy Smith asking that he be
sent to him if he needs more season
ing. But the Muckalees are going to
have a say in the matter before he i 3
disposed of.
ATLANTA BECOMES
WILD LAND WOLLY
Atlanta. Sept. B.—Highwaymen and
hold-up gangs have begun operations
in Atlanta again, and the word has
gone out to the police to “clean up”
and chase away all suspicious charac
ters. L. H. Britt, a farmer living three
miles from the city, is In a critical
condition at Grady hospital as a result
of a bullet wound. He was found un
der the Grant street bridge uncon
scious, and afterwards said he ha:l
been attacked by three negroes, who
robbed him. He struggled with h's
assailants and when set free bravely
started in pursuit, when one of them*
opened fire on him.
