WOMEN WHO
NEED MRS.
PlNKHAM’S AID
A TRIBUTE OF LOVE
To Little Eugene Drane Who Died
May 8, 1900.
Yes, we all loved Eugene. Gentle
and kind, always a sweet smile for ev
ery one he soon became a favorite with
each member of tbe family. He had
been with us fonr mouths liking a few
days and daring that time we never
saw him tbe least bit out of temper.
If others seemed mad be always smiled
and tried to say cometbiug to make
them forget their auger. He was so
uuselBsh(in his nature, always thinking
of tbe happiness of others. He was
devoted tojiis father and mother, al
ways wanting them to share hia every
little pleasures. Truly "God moves
in a mysterious way his wonders to
perform." How untimely it seems to
US short-sighted mortals for such a
promising life to be cut off in child
hood ; the idol of fond parents and a
favorite with all of bis relatives and
friends life seemed to hold snob a
bright future for him. God who doetb
all things will give ns grace to say
Thy will be done.
Safe In the armn of Jesuit,
s» fe from corroding care,
Fafe from tbe worla's temptation.
Stn cannot enter there.

Strong
Bones
In speaking about Scott's
Emulsion for children, you
should not forget that it con*
tains lime and soda, just
what the child must have to
form strong bones and good
teeth. It's this forming time
you want to look after.
Growing bodies must have an
easily digested fat. Just think how
much of it there is in milk, as cream.
Scott’s Emulsion
Is even more easily digested than
cream. It's surprising how chil
dren thrive when given it.
Don't keep the children living on
the edge of sickness all the time.
Make them strong and rugged,
plump and hearty. Scott's Emul
sion of Cod •liver Oil and the Hypo-
phosphites of Lime and Soda will tdo
this for them.
[ san4 , iWtv^iife.v 0 , k .
OMEN are assailed at every turn by troubles peculiar
to their sex. Every mysterious ache or pain is a
symptom. These distressing sensations will keep
Oil coining unless properly treated.
The history of neglect is written in the worn faces and
wasted figures of nine-
tenths of our women,
every one of whom may
receive the invaluable ad
vice of Mrs. Pinkham,
without charge, by writing
to her at Lynn, Mass.
Miss Lui.a Evans, of i
Parkersburg, Iowa, writes of her recovery as follows:
• * LttAK Mrs. Pinkham—I had been a constant sufferer
for nearly three years. Had inflammation of the womb,
leucorrbrea, heart trouble, bearing-down pains, backache.
headache, ached all over, and
at times could hardly stand on
My heart trouble was
> bad that some nights
1 was compelled to sit
up in bed or get up
and walk the floor,
for it seemed as
though I should
smother. More
than once I have
been obliged to
have the doctor
visit me in the
in i d d 1 e of the
night. I was also
very nervous and
fretful. 1 was ut
terly discouraged.
One day I thought I
ould write and see
you could do any
thing for me. I followed
our advice and now I feel
a new woman. All
dreadful troubles I have no
more, and I have found I.ydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wash a sure
cure for leucorrhcea. I am very thankful for your good advice
and medicine."
HARD FOUGHT TRIAL EXPECTED |
CLOSING OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Vacation Time is Little More Than
a Month Off-
In just a little more than a month the
school year will end, the fair graduates
in white will tearfnlly bid their teach
ere farewell and vacation, that period
of unalloyed bliss to the small boy,
will be at baud. The time will pass
very swiftly—except to this youngster.
The public sohools of Americus will
close on June 15th.
The session now drawiDg to a close
has been one of the best on record.
The attendance is larger than ever be
fore during a period of twenty-one
years.
In all departments of tbe schools ex
cellent progress has been mado by
pnpils iu tho several grades. The at
tendance has been highly satisfactory,
and Snpt. Mathis and his excellent
corps of teaohere can look back npon
a year of snccess in which much was
accomplished.
The graduating class of Furlow
School will number twelve-eight
young ladies and four young men.
The closing exercises at Glover’s
opera house, when diplomas areaward-
ed the graduates, will be a brilliant oc
casion as usual, and a fitting finale to
commencement week. Even now the
fair graduates anticipate the event with
unalloyed pleasure.
And their ecstatic dream will bu
realized in little more than one month.
PREPARING FOR A MULTITUDE.
BAILIFF HOLDS THE BAGGAGE.
In Meanwhile the Ideals Are Idling
in Americus.
Bailiff Poole is not going npon the
road either as heavy tragedian, sou-
brette or prima donna, though just
now he has quite a sufficiency of stage
harness and female paraphernalia to
appear in either role foy a full season.
Imagine tbe bailiff iu the role of
soubrette, singing "Comrades.”
But the stage trappings do not belong
to Bailiff Poole and he has as little use
for them as a goat would have for a
whistle, bat he must hold on to them.
And in tbo meanwhile the "Ideal
Comedy Co,” hailing from Cordele,
New York and other points, wonders
why the bailiff will not relent. .They
also wonder how they are going to
square a few little accouuts and get out
of this unappreciative burg.
For the appearance of the "Ideals’
here was a fiat failure financially ; dis
mal in ovary Bcuse of the word.
And it is this financial trouble that
confronts them.
Yesterday Bailiff Poole attached three
big trunkB and a brace of gripa. The
oompany owes a board bill and other
bills here, the whole amounting to
near £40. The treasurer, probably, has
not this entire amount available at this
particular time.
In the meanwhile tho "Ideals” are
still here and mny linger an indefinite
time unless their tinanoies are entirely
rehabilitated.
When Fayette Horton Comes Again
Before a Jury.
The second trial of L. F. Horton for
tbe killing of Tom Bivins a year ago
wid tuke place at tbe forthcoming
term of Sumter superior court, aud will
be au interesting one. Both the pros
ecution aud defense will put up a stub
born light this time.
It will be even more warmly waged
than was the first trial, b
Mr. Horton shot and killed his
neighbor, Tom Bivins, alleging that
the latter had attacked Mrs. Horton
with a knife. The tragedy occurred
on a Saturday night at Horton’s home
and the only wituesBes thereto were
bis wife and grown daughter.
Tbe contention of tho state was that
Bivins was probably lying asleep on
tbe tloor when tbe fatal shot was fired
After a lengthy trial of the csbo Hor
ton was convicted of voluntary man
slaughter aud sentenced to a term of
ten years iu the penitentiary. (Jmte
recently the supreme court has revers
ed tho decision of the lower court,
granting him a new trial.
llorton has been iu j ail here for six
mouths, bnt with tho prospect of a
new trial hopes soon to be a free man
once more.
But tbe ease wilt be stubbornly
fonght at this term of court.
It is said that quite recently the
body of Tom Bivins was exhumed and
a very critical examination made. This,
it is said, resulted iu tho securing of
additional evidence that may bo of
great importance when the case is
tried again.

Upon This Question.
A party of citizens were discussing
yesterday the legislative race and the
one issue involved in the campaign-
prohibition—when one of them ndvanc
ed the suggestion that wbat Georgia
needed as much or more than prohibi
tion was laws that would encourage
manufacturing. Alabama and the Car
olinas, ha said, were being built up
with manufacturing enterprises of
every kind, while Georgia lagged be
hind. These states had laws favorable
to such enterprises and were reaping
ast benefit therefrom. Georgia of
ferod no encouragement iu this line
The Americus man thought our would-

question—one of vitalinterost to Geor-
gia as well as upon the whiskey ques
tion, now tho only issue.
