HIS NEIGHBORS TRIED TO SHARE THEIRJUPPLY The New Medicine Dreco Wal Doing Them So Much Good, Were Will* ing to Divide, If Only They Would Try It. Mr. J. B. Parham and wife, the well known farmer who lives on Route 5, Athens, Ga., were telling their experience with the new medi cine Dreco recently. They said “It was through Mr. Griffith, after he had used nine bottles of Dreco in his family, that I began to see the light. I noticed the wonderful change in ,my neighbors; they looked differ ent, their faces wore an expression of gladness; their complexions were fresher; said their appetites were great and insisted so that we try Dreco that they offered to share their supply with us, if only we would try it. I have since appreciated their generosity. “My wife a.id I both had malaria, and it left us with chronic gastritis. We dreaded to eat because of the gas formation that bloated our stom achs and bowels and pressed on our bladders and brought on a whole train of female symptoms in my wife' that broke down her health. “But it is all so different now. Dreco has done a wonderful work for both of us. We eat without fear of the results; sleep sound; no more gas or bloating and our blood stream is purified. Our health is restored and Dreco did it.’’ Many gratefiul people are daily i testifying to the wonderful merits of this great herbal remedy Dreco, i which cleanses the blood and revives the activity of the vital organs. All progressive druggists now sell Dreco and it is highly recommended in Americus by Americus Drug Co. (adv.) B ] byCarlysle H. Holcomb 'yf'dgQ MR. WEASEL FOUND GUILTY. ’TINKER 808 called Mr. Weasel * the Great forth to his trial. He was guarded on one side by Chief ' Porky and on the other by Major Pole Cat. But he was not the least afraid because that is not his na ture. Nor did he seem to be sorry for anything he had done. “We are now ready for the trial of Mr. Weasel the Great,” said the King. Mr. Weasel had turned com pletely white since the snow covered the ground. And so had Mrs. Ptar migan. Her color is rather of the mixed with white and brown and a little black all other seasons of the year, but now she was pure white and very beautiful. “Did you know,” continued Tinker Bob, “that you nearly killed that dainty little song sparrow?’* “Put him in the hole,” they cried a* once voice. “No,” answered Mr. Weasel. “I thought it was the saucy little Eng lish Sparrow that I caught.” “It is very strange you canpot see better,” said Tinker Bob. “The Eng lish Sparrow does not have a spotted breast. He is very plain with one large black spot on his neck., Then he is a quarrelsome fellow, and is nearly as bold as you are.’’ “I cannot tell the difference,” said Mr. Weasel carelessly. “I am afraid,” said the King, “that you did not care whether it was a Song Sparrow or a Chickadee. Tam sure however that ydti could have told the difference had you stopped to listen to the song. Nov r what shall » Where Is \bur Money? Is it hidden in a sock under the mattress?

I’ll take him so high that he cannot get his breath and then drop him.” “Oh, that will be all right," said Mr. Weasel. “I like to go high in the air. But do anything you want to me just so you don’t put me in the big hole at the top of the great oak in the midst of the forest” “That’s what we will do,” cried Jerry the Jay Bird. “Then he never will bother us.” “What do you say, Mr. Song Spar row?” asked the King. “You are the one he has harmed this time—now what shall be done with him?” “I say,” said the Song Sparrow, “that he be p\it in the great bole in the top of the big oak.” “Oh, oh," cried Mr. Weasel the Great, T beg of you do anything, but do not put me in the great hole in the oak tree.” What is the decision of the feath ered flock of the forest?” asked the King. “Put him in the hole,” they cried as one voice.
