Wood, and all school chii dren were instruetted to appear at that place this morning. This was caused by the. school building hav-. ing been; dcytroyted by fire Friday night. It-'is (relieved that the Warn dwelling will be adequate to take care of the .school needs for the i vmainder qf. the term without much inconvenience. The greatest nin derance in completing the year will be in the shortage of text books, as a greta many were lost in th- fire.

EVERY STREET IN AMERICUS Has Its Share of the Proof That Kidney Sufferers Seek Backache? Kidneys weak? Distressed with urinary ills? Want a reliable kidney remedy? Don’t have to look far. ’ Use what Americus people recommend. Ev ery street in Americus has its cases. Here’s one Americus man’s expe rience. Let .T. E. Oliver, prop, auto paint shop, 303 Cotton Ave., tell it. Il • says: “The turpentine fumes weak ened my kidneys and caused lame back. If [ stooped, severe pains caught me in the small of my back and F could hardly move. The kid ney secretions passed often ami 1 had dizzy spells. I bought Doan’s Kidney Pills at the Carswell Drug Co., and they relieved me of the complaint.” Puce 60c at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy— get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Oliver had. Foster-Mil burn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. adv I COMMISSIONERS PROCEEDINGS Americus, Ga., April 7, 1924.
