"But you can’t know whether you havy one, till you’ve tried Dr. Sage’s Remedy. What’s incurable by any other means, yields to that. By its mild, soothing, cleansing and healing properties, it cures the worst cases, no matter of how long standing. That’s the reason tho money can be offered. There's a risk about it, to bo sure. But it’s so small that tho proprietors are willing to take it. The symptoms of catarrh are, headache, obstruction of nose, dis charges falling into throat, some times profuse, watery, and acrid, at others, thick, tenacious, mucous, purulent, bloody, putrid and offen sive ; eyes weak, ringing in cars, deafness; offensive breath; smell and taste impaired, and general debility. Only a few of these symptoms likely to bo present at once. Major W. f,.

Box 816, Roanoke, Virginia. interestin',' letter to Tiik Times-Rk- cokdkic Chk acio, III., May 1.°,.—After a three days Htay in Chicago I am persuaded that congress did well in selecting it as the site for tho World’s fair. It is a city that is typical of tho growth of this country. It also represents the energy of the American people in overcoming natural obstacles, for what was once a swampy prairie is now a sewered, well paved, handsomely built city. In it are assimilated all nationalities, and it has drawn to it commerce from the four quarters of the globe. Georgia, with its accustomed enter prise, is represented in this bustling bee hive of industry, ami I l.ave run across quite a little colony of them. Mr. Smith I). Picke.t, son of the late Col. T. II. Pickett, of Dawson, is secretary of the j Chicago committee of the Central Traf- iic association, and chairman of the Georgia committee of World’s fair. His brother, J. K. Pickett, is in the freight department of the Pennsylvania railroad. Mr. I\ C. Sneed, formerly of Atlanta, has lately been promoted to tho position of superintendent of the Chi cago division of the Baltimore «fc Ohio railroad. Henry Hobson, of Atlanta, is manager of the instrument department of the large music house of Lyon & Healey. Lawrence King, of Atlanta, is in the real estate business. L. A. Low ry, of Dawson, is stenographer to tho Central Traffic association. All of these gentlemen hold important posi tions, and have worked their way up by energy and merit. Thsy all retain their affection for old Georgia, and are al ways pleased to meet a Georgian. Believing that tho annual excursions of the Georgia Press Association should be made with a view to profit and in struction as well as pleasure, I some months ago began laying plans for an excursion to Chicago some time in June. While I have had many difficulties to overcome, I believe I have at last made all the necessary preparations except a few details. 1 want tho Georgia editors to see this great Northwestern city, study the enterprise that has built it up, and especially I want them to see the site of the World’s fair, learn what ex hibits other states are going to make, and what an opportunity it will afford Georgia to advertise to tho world hor varied and unsurpassed resources. I think that they will conclude, as 1 have concluded, that Georgia cannot afford not to make an exhibit. Chicago is the great artery through which has passed the blood that has made the bleak prairies of tho Northwest to blossom as a rose, and with proper effort I believe that it can be made to contribute to the growth and develop ment of Georgia. We are already attracts ing the attention of these people. In a onversation with Mr. Bryan, vice-presi dent of the World’s fair, ho told mo that he had recently received two letters from friends of his on the same day, and they both declared that they had found the earthly paradise, and it was located in Georgia. The editors of Georgia will meet with a hospitable reception hore, and I am satisfied that they will go home and im press upon our people more strongly than I can do the importance of adver tising our natural advantages. Why scratch your fife away when a little of Hunt’s Cure judiciously applied will cure the worst case of Itch ever known? If not it costs you nothing. Prico 50c. 5 A LOSS TO ALBANY. The Sudden and Unexpected Death of Mr. Chan done*. Albany, Ga., May 14.- Mr. F. C. Jones breathed his last at his home on Pine street last night at about 1 o'clock. His death v asa painful surprise to his relatives and friends. He returned a few days ago from off a camp fishing trip, suffering from rheumatism contracted in camping out, hut on yesterday he was so much better that his family did not have the least apprehension. “Chan” Jones counted his friends by the score. He is the son of the Hon. Reuben Jones, of Baker county, and son- in-law of Capt. John A. Davis, of this city. He leaves a devoted wife and four children to mourn his irreparable loss. Crawford & Co.
