CHICKEN THIEF
BELIEVED HELD
Negro Taken For Car
Robbery Guilty,
Says Chief
The negro chicken thief who last
Wednesday night visited the hen
house of W. L. Dupree on Jackson
avenue, and became the target for
the guns of the neighborhood, is in
jail, according to Chief of Police
is Ed Smith, a negro who
divides his time among Americus,
Cordele and Albany, and operates
principally at night. He was ar
rested here a day or two ago by Offi
cer Le'e on word from Cordele officers
that he was wanted there for car rob
bery. He has been returned there to
answer to that charge.
Mr. Dupree and others who saw
the fleeing chicken thief reported that
he walked or ran on his toes. His
tracks showed this to be true with
only the left foot. An examination
of Smith after his arrest showed the
toes missing from his left foot, which
caused him to walk on the end of his
shoe. He had teen taking treatment
for several days for a sore back and
sides, which he said he sustained in
the recent freight wreck at Monte
zuma. Chief Bragg learned that he
was not in the Montezuma wreck,
however, and he declares that the
sore back and sides were caused by
the negro’s fall over a fence when
Mrs. Dupi'ee shot at him while he was
fleeing. The negro’s body showed no
signs of shot, proving that all who
fired at him were poor marksmen in
the night.
For quick action a pistol holster
has been patented that opens its en
tire length when the weapon is with
drawn.

SPRING FEVER
Following Colds, Grip or Flu,
Thin, Watery or Poisoned Blood
(By Da. Valentine Mott.)
At this time of year most people
suffer from what we term “ spring
fever ” because of a stagnant con
dition of the blood, because of the
toxins (poisons) stored up within
the body during the long winter.
We eat too much meat, with little
or no green vegetables.
Bloodless people, thin, anemic
people, those with pale cheeks and
lips, who have a poor appetite and
feel that tired, worn or feverish
condition in the spring-time of the
year, should try the refreshing tonic
powers of a good alterative, and
blood purifier. Such a tonic as
druggists have sold for fifty years,
is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery. It is a standard remedy
that can be obtained in tablet or
liquid form. Made without alcohol
from wild roots and barks.
N. Birmingham , A la.—" Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery is certainly
a good medicine for deep-seated colds,
and as a tonic I have found it to be
all that could be desired. For the
last forty-five years ‘ Golden Medical
Discovery’ and ‘PleasantPellets’ have
been used in my home, for in my boy
hood days my mother used these
remedies of Dr. Pierce’s and no other
medicines were ever used by her as
long as she lived. She had none but
the highest praise forthem, and from
my own experience with Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery for colds
and the ‘ Pleasant Pellets ’ for bilious
ness and constipation, I know that
these medicines deserve the highest
£ raise that I can give.”—Ed. Ebwim,

in bed. I had nervous spells that
were so severe I couldn’t keep still
and could hardly eat enough to keep
soul and body together. Really, I
had commenced to think I couldn’t
live very much longer.
“I had read a number of testi
monials that were given for Tanlac,
but put little faith in it, as I had
tried so many medicines only to be
disappointed each time. But finally
I ran across a friend who had taken
Tanlac and he praised it so highly
that I concluded to see what it would,
do in my case. Well, the results are,
I have never felt better in my life,
and my only regret is that I let my
doubts interfere with my taking Tan
lac long before I did. I am eating
just anything I want and never have
a pain or an uncomfortable feeling
afterwards, and have also gained
considerable weight. I am entirely
free from rheumatism and simply
feel like a man made new. lam now
