That’s So.
Emphatic affirmations often carry conviction,
but unless the thins affirmed can be backed up by
facts the convicted one is being duped. Our “ads
are groups of facts more or less emphasized. We
want vou who read them to regard them as facts. If
our printed promises do not carry conviction, fhen
we ask you to investigate those promises—conviction
will follow. If we can once convince you that our
advertising is honest we have at least won your re
spect. If we win your respect your confidence will
follow, then when you read our statements in print
you can say in sober truth, “That’s So.

THE MIN WITH A GOLD
is a nuisance to others as well as suffer

can Hud so many excellent remedies
at Hudson's drugstore. True, if he
has asthma, it's doubtful if he can ob

that annoying ailment. Stop sneezing

A PROCEEDING IN BANKRUPTCY.
Marshal Takes Charge of E. D. Ans-
ley Stock.
The large grocery store of E. D. Aus-
ley has been closed at the instigation
of certain foreign creditors who have
instituted bankruptcy proceedings
against him, and the stock of goods is
now in the possession of United Slates
Marshal .Tohn M. Barnes as receiver.
Mr. Ansley straggled brayely to
avert any disaster to his business, but
the climax was inevitable.
Had he been able to collect even a
small part of the large amount still
owing bim by people who bought his
goods and refused to pay for them, he
could have continued on.
The bankruptcy proceedings was in
stituted by a half dozen creditors,
mostly in New York, who were due
small amounts. The store was closed
by Deputy Marshal Henry Tncker, of
Macon, for United States Marshal John
M. Barnes, who has also boen appoint
ed receiver.
Mr, George F, White, an officer of
the United States Court, is here taking
stock.
The amount of Mr. Ansley’a liabili
ties and assets are not known jet, bat
the former, it is thought, will scarcely
exceed $4,000 if it should even reach
that amount.
The stock of goods on band may in
voice very nearly that sum, it is be
lieved, and will be converted into cash
as quickly as possible by the receiver.
All are high class goods, fresh and
well selected, and even under each
circumstances should sell well.
Sheer inability to collect money due
bim is the cause of Mr. Ansley’s finan
cial trouble.
As fast as any money conld be col
lected, however, it was applied to bis
obligations, but some of the creditors
seemed unwilling to wait oi tt ; u slow
process and instituted suit.
Mr. Ansley has, for nearly twenty
years, been one of Americus’ most
prominent and enterprising business
men. He trusted people who, today,
ride in carriages and see him a bank
rupt and still refuse to pay for the
meat and bread their families have
eaten.
Such is the result of a credit system
and rotten collection laws.
Mr. Ansley has a host of friends in
Americus and in the mercantile world
who hope soon to see him upon his
feet again. There are no preferred
creditors, all sharing alike.
She Didn't Wear a Mask.
But her beauty was completely hidden
bysorss, blotches and pimples till she
used BuoKlon’s Arnica Salve. Then they
vanished as will all Eruptions, Fever
Bores, Bolls, Ulcers, Carbuncles and
Felons from its use. Infallible for Cuts,
Corns, Burns, Scalds and Piles. Cure
guaranteed, 25o at E. J. Eldridgo'e.
