So when a friend told m e to try Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy for my stomach trouble, 1 laughed at him. Some months later, after my father told me he had used all known remedies in luy case, I met my friend again and he talked to me like a Dutch uncle and finally induced me to try it. All my symptoms have now disappeared.” It is a simple, harm less preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intesti nal tract and allays the inflamma tion which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ail ments, including appendicitis. One dose will convince or money re funded. For sale by Howell’s Pharmacy and druggists every where.— (adv.)

DANGER IN DELAY Kidney Diseases Are Too Danger ous For Americus People To Neglect The great danger of kidney trou bles is that they so often get a firm hold before the sufferer recognizes them. Health will be gradually un dermined. Backache, headache, nervousness, lameness, soreness, lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy, gravel and Bright’s disease may fol low as the kidneys get worse. Don’t neglect your kidneys. Help the kid neys with Doan’s Kidney Pills, which are so strongly recommended right here in Americus. Ask vour neighbor! Mrs. R. H. Miller, 702 Adding ton St., Americus, says - "My back ached night and day and I couldn’t get any rest. Mornings I felt more tired than when I went to bed. My kidneys acted too often and caused annoyance. 1 purchased Doan’s Kidney Pills and they quickly bene fi’ed me. Two boxes cured me of the attack.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t himply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs,. Millqr had Koster-Mil burn Uo., Mfrs., Buffalo,. N. Y. ._. adv AMERICUS AUTO CO. UNLOADSJANY CARS Seventy-Two Carloads Os Fords, Largest Shipment Ever Made Any Americus Firm The Americus Automobile Com ■ pany on Tuesday completed un- I loading the largest shipment of au tomobiles ever consigned to any Americus firm. There' were 12 cai loads of Fords, with six to each car, making a total of 72 automobiles unloaded at one time. This shows the faith that this firm has in Sumter county and al though times may not be as pros perous as some think they should be at this season of the year, they feel that the next 60 days will be exceptionally good, and taking the advice of the experts employed by the Ford Motor Company have stocked these cars while it is pos sible to receive them as all indi cations point to the fact that even though the Ford plant is turning out over 10,000 cars a day the sup ply will not meet the demand in the course of the next 60 days. “Another interesting fact,’’ says Evan Mathis, manager of auto sales for the company “is the large number of enclosed cars that are being sold in this make of car. There were 21 Coupes and Sedans in this shipment ,or a little better than 29 per cent of the total ship ment. The Ford plant is turning out approximately 38 per cent of their cars in the enclosed models, wich are gaining in popularity steadily.’’ CLERK-CARRIER EXAM. TO BE HELD HERE SOON Announcement is made that there will be an examination for clerk-carrier held at the Americus postoffice April 5, beginning at 9 a. m.

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 5, 1924 WESLEY BARRY HAS / ' NEW’ROLE IN “GEORGE / WASHINGTON, JUNIOR.*' A new Wesley Barry feature is scheduled al the Rylander on Thurs day. It is called “George Wash ington, Jr.,” and is adapted from the famous George M. Cohan stage comedy, which made such a trem endous hit in New York City. This is a distinctly new characterization for Wesley Barry; he graduates, as it were, from “kid” roles into the young society man. “George Washington, Jr., is* a rapidly moving comedy-drama of so ciety life in the highest political circles of our capital. Its brilliant parties, the lavishly dressed women the polished senators, foreign diplo mats and noblemen give enough, promise of a highly spiced interest ing picture. But in addition to all this there is Wesley Barry, the inimitamri young actor who never fails to win. his way into your heart before tho picture fades off the screen. He> is ably supported by a cast includ ing Otis Harlan, Gertrude Olmstead, Edward Phillips and Charles Conk-i lin. On the same program will be , shown a comedy entitled “Picking Peaches.” 'Today’s Program at the Rylander includes “Scars of Jealously,” a Thomas H. Ince feature production, and “Please Arrest Me,” a com edy. “Scars of Jealously” is a drama of the old and new South and has a star cast including Lloyd Hughes, Frank Keenan, Marguerite De La Motte and Edward Burns. Few people like work because their are so many other things to do. • s £ KQOIERS Store near Where Satisfaction is n Certainly .
