THE AMEKIOUSS WEEKLY TIME8-KECOKHEK: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 1*SU.
Jack and Joe.
I have to get an overcoat
>.ivs Jack to his friend Joe,
Vui ] „ j t ii but little cash to spare,
Where had I hotter go:'
j l,j. buying clothes just bothers me,
The smartest man can’t tell
Kioni loosing at a coat, just if
The goods will wear real well.
And lots of these here clothing men
Are that keen on a trade,
They'll lie like sixty anyhow
About how clothes are made.
And some they stick the dollars on
And I hen you have to Jew
Till they take off what they put on,
Whisperin: “Just for you.”
I don’t liko that kind of way
And blaino me if I know
With just the little cash I’ve got
Where it is best to go.
says Joe to Jack, I know your fix,
For I'VO been that way, too;
lint you’ll get over that right <|uick
If you trade where I do.
Try John II. Shaw, and you can tie
To every word ho says,
And lay your money out, dead sure
That your investment pays,
ills juices are 'way down below
Tiie juices olitcrs ask;
The folks that try to sell with him
I tell you have a task.
Low juices—quality the best—
Large stock—and goods all now—
I ts plain that John II. Shaw's the man
To sell to me and you!

The fourth quarterly meeting or the
Sumter County Sunday School Associa-
tion convened at Leslie last Thursday,
Nov. (1.
The meeting was called to order by
the president: minutes and roll call of
officers omitted. Mr. Kirby Jones was
elected secretary pro tern, of the meet
ing, the regular official holding that
office being absent.
The following was the programme of
the day’s exercises:
Speech of welcome by Master Jimmie
Bailey.
Responsive Address, by Maj. M. Speer.
Address—“Teaching the Lesson’’—By
Rev. Robert Adams of Americus.
Essay—By Miss Aurelia Sims.
Recitation—By Master Frank Janes.
Recitation—By Miss Bessie Janes.
Recess for dinner.
AFTERNOON.
Address—“The Church and the Sun
day-school,” by Judge J. A. Analey.
Songs by visiting schools.
Reports of delegates.
Song—By Miss Bessie Janes.
Short addresses by Major Black, Mr.
J. W. Wheatley, Rev. Robert Adams and
Major Speer.
Every part of the programme was well
rendered and very greatly enjoyed. The
speech of welcome by Master James
Bally, the essay by Miss Aurelia Sims,
and the recitation by Miss Bessie Janes
and Master Frank Janes were especially
enjoyed. The songs by the Leslie
school were well sung, and the address
of Rev. Robert Adams was one of the
most pointed and practically useful ever
made before the association.
As for the dinner nothing need be
said. It “spoke” for itself, and the way
in which it disappeared told more pow
erfully than words, of the abundance
and excellence of the feast.
The whole day was one of the most
pleasant in the history of the association,
and the meeting adjourned with a reso
lution of most hearty thanks to the
Leslie school and citizens for their hos
pitality.
McELREE’t WINE OF CARDUI for Weak Nerves.
Meftnrs. End* Neel & Company Have Some
thing of Iiiterent to Say.
One of the livest and most enterpris
ing houses in Georgia comes to the front
in the advertising columns of Tiie
Timks-Recori>kk this morning, Messrs.
Eads, Neel & Co. of Macon; and they
propose to make it mighty interesting
for their competitors in the clothing
business in Southwest Georgia. They
claim to be the largest retail clothiers in
Georgia, carrying the largest stock in
the largest store in the State.
Mr. John C. Eads will come down to
Americus in a few days; for in addition
to meeting the people in these columns,
he wants to get acquainted personally
with our live and progressive citizens.
He, as well as his house, is well known
in Georgia; and Mr. Eads is himself one
of the most enterprising and prosperous
merchants of the Central City. Read
their advertisement carefully in another
column.
Fine Polatuei.
Mr. W. II. Tatum of Huntington
comes to the front as the champion po
tato raiser of Sumter. His crop is a
very large one and the samples present
ed to The Timks-Rkcordku weighed
live pounds each, and measured eighteen
inches in circumference. Mr. Tatum
understands potato raising.
Mr. William T. Price, a Justice of the
Peace, at Richland, Nebraska, was con
fined to his bed last winter with a se
vere attack of lurabiigo; but a thorough
application of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm
enabled him to get up and go to work.
Mr. Price says: “The Remedy cannot
be recommended too highly.” Let any
one troubled with rheumatism, neural
gia or lame back give it a trial and they
w ill bo of the same opinion. 50 cent
bottles for sale by W. C. Russell, Ameri
cus, Ga. novl-lm.
There are too many people who think
they can edit a newspaper better than
the editor, but who have been complete
failures in mauaging their own business.
Investigate their merits. De Witt’s
Little Early Risers don’t gripe, cause
nausea or pain, which accounts for their
popularity. The Davenport Drug Com
pany says they would not run a drug
store without these little pills.
Conversation is a traffic, and if you
enter it without some stock of knowl
edge to balance the account perpet
ually betwixt you, the trade drops at
once.

A GOOD APPETITE
Is essential, not only to the enjoyment of food, but to bodily health and mental rigor. This
priceless boon may be secured by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
‘Feeling truly grateful for the benefits
realized by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, I
gladly offer n»y testimony In its favor. For
several months I had no appetite; what food
I ate distressed me. I was restless at night,
and complete prostration of the nervous
system seemed Imminent. Three bottles of
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla cured me.” — Miss A. E.
Vickery, Dover, N. H.
I have been suffering, full two years,
from troubles consequent upon a severe fall.
My blood became very much impoverished,
and I suffered severely from weakness of
the system and loss of appetite, when a
friend recommended me to tiy Ayer's Sarsa
parilla. Am now on my third bottle, and
find myself greatly benefited by its use.”—
Mrs. M. II. Howland, South Duxbury, Mass.

Mr Henry Winter, formeily manager
of the Savannah Brewery, says he had
Rheumatism of the Heart for several
years. Often he was unable to walk ov
er a fow blocks, his pain was so intense;
ho had trouble to gut his breath; he had
bysicians in Philadelphia, his former
lome, but the best professor in the uni
versity there could not give him relief.
Coming here he saw I*. P. P. advertised,
tried two bottles, and is now a well man.
His pain left him and he can now walk
all day. He renders thanks to P. P. P.,
and says its workings are wonderful.
There are now four women to every
man—according to the census.
