An attack of Fever at
this time of year, with
Quinine as the treat
ment, means a week or
ten days lost from Busi
ness.
It means ten days of
unliappiness for you and
ten days "of hard work
and anxiety for those
who love you.
This is putting it in its
very happiest aspect. It
might mean your death,
and it often means a
breakdown in general
health from which some
recuperate very slowly.

your time is worth much
to your estate. If you

are u |>oor man. your time is worth much more to your family. The rich
man might better afford to suffer a loss of $100.00 a day, as a result from en
forced absence from business than the poor man can lose the value of his labor.
Both men—rich or poor-are stupid to lose 10 days a lien 24 to 48 hours is
the limit of time required to put them in good condition bv Johnson’s Chill and
Fever Tonic.
I always feel sorry for the family that is wedded to the plan of subjecting
iliemselves to the Quinine treatment.
The process is slow. The result uncertain. The treatment disappointing.
Johnson s Tonic has two cardinal points that should immediately commend
it to every thinking man in this country.
hirst of all, it is harmless. Absolutely harmless. Harmless under all cir
cumstances.
Second, it is quick; it acts at once. In 30 minutes after its administration,
it enters the blood and begins to undo the mischief caused by Malaria.
It has a wonderful record of 17 years of success. 999 cases out of every
1000 are promptly cured, and the 1000th case can be easily cured by doubling
the dose and taking it a little oftener.
Johnson’s Tonic is a wonderful medicine. It is not mere merchandise. It
is superb. No remedy in the whole domain of Materia Medica is more positive
m its action and unfailing in its results.
It will cure. It will cure every time. It will cure every case of Fever. It
will cure any type of fever.
It is the one great medicine that seldom disappoints.
Don’t trifle with Fever. If allowed to run, it is like a house allowed to
burn—it will consume you. Use Johnson’s Tonic. Use nothing else.
Now, take your choice. Lie in bed for days, or maybe weeks, and poison
yonr digestion with Quinine, and arise finally with all the life and vim taken
out of you, or use Johnson’s Tonic and be restored at once to perfect health.
No loss of vital force. No loss of flesh. No waste of precious time. Take yOur

o'clock by a terrible tornado.
The storm came from the north ar.d
It seems there was also one from the
southwest, meeting in this vicinity.
It played havoc, four deaths and
considerable loss of property being the
result.
The storm from the north was pre
ceded by a heavy rain and what ap
peared to he a dark mass about 100
yards wide. It traveled with great
speed and ptople barely had time to
get indoors hnfore the storm struck
the town. The wing of the storm
passed along .Main street and blew
several store doors open, doing more
or less damage.'
Knitting .Mill hill, south'of the town
caught the full force of the tornado,
wbh-h blew down the.schoolbouse and
two residences, converting them lit

In another near by. but this house was
also crushed to splinters.
In this house .Misses Sallle Hart and
Annie Lawson were Instantly killed.
Mrs. Maxey Sims died In an hour,
and her little' daughter, Vera, died

There

than

cast to them in the arena. It is astonish
ing how little sympathy women have
for women. In the home the mistress
sees the maid with the signs of suffering
she recognizes so well, but she does not
lighten the sick girl's load by a touch of
her finger. In the store the forewoman
sees tbe pallor and exhaustion which
mark womanly weakness, but allows
nothing for them. It is work or quit.

She stepped to one side and he ask

“No," she replied, "I have company. 1
Just then her cousin, .Miss Beulah

about the exposition and she turned
from Lee to answer it.
Lee was heard to mutter. "If you
won't let me take you home I shall
shoot you."
Before any one v.as aware of his

Miss Suttles screamed and ran to

As she ran from him, Lee deliberate,
ly fired at her again. Tbe boll en
tered her back just between her shoul

half from the spine. It- passed direct
ly through her heart and came out
between the fifth and sixth ribs about
au Inch to the left of tbe breast bone.
The ball did not pass entirely througu
her body, but protruded from the flesh.
She died In a few moments In her fa

The whole cause of the deplorable
tragedy was the Insane jealousy ol

Miss Suttles was the eldest daughter
ot Dr. J. M. Suttles. one of the most
prominent physicians of his section.
He is not only well known in the west
ern part of Fulton county, but has a
practice which extends into Campbell
and Cobb counties.

good family he Is said to he lacking in
education and refinement and has nev

Ben Hill Is known as one ot the most

their homes In and around it. Hereto

Stampede to New Mines.
Longs Store, Cedar Canyon, Wyo.,
May 28.—A stampede to a ledge on
the Spokane reservation from Deer
Trail camp haa caused considerable
excitement Fifteen or 20 men, most
of them employes of the Deer Trail
mines, believing the reservation would
be thrown open to settlement by presi
dential proclamation before June 1, en
gaged every available horce and raced
for a point near Sand Creek, about
6 miles east from Deer Trail, where
there Is said to be a great mineral
sbowlng. It Is not known if tbe Indian
police have removed the Interloper!
from tbe reservation. -'
Although the season is backward,
resembling in that respect the condi
tions ot one year ago, faithful and skill
ful work will, without some special
hindrances, give us good crops for the
oming summer and fall.
The experienced and successful farm
>r needs no advice as to the
best method to be pursued In order to
make his land yield abundant crops
but so long as there shall he coming
intq,the agricultural field new and In
experienced toi.ers. so long will there
be need of line upon line snd precept
upon precept. Hence, the necessity of
repeating In part advice already given
from year to year. The oid farmer,
whoa he sets In agricultural journals
and monthly tsl.:s of tounuLoloucis,
the same fami.ar things In substance,
(however chunked in oxpmslan), muy

Therefore 1 must he excused tor re
peating tome of the suggestions of
last year.
Catcn.
ctlnii is one m tbe chief crops
uoiv engaging the thoughts and bauds
of the farmer, let me again remind
the.young planters that this plant re
quires abundant sunshine, and Im
peratively demands that kind of man
agement which will not take up the
strength of the land for the stalk and
leave not force enough In tbe soil to
tiling forth fruit to perfection. Tbe
great essentials are to keep the cotton
dean and not to allow the plants to
he crowded, lest there be too much
shade with consequent Increaie of the
stalk and decrease in tbe number, size
and quality of tbe bolls.
Tbe distance between tbe plant!
should be from .! Inches to 3 feet In
the drill. Of course, tbe fertility ot
the soil Is an Important factor In de
ciding tbe distance to be observed.
Let the young farmers not only read
all that they can find In one or more
of the excellent agricultural Journals
that are Issued monthly,‘but let them
consult those who from long practice
ot the best methods have learned how
to secure the strength of the soil for
the frlut and to obtain abundant yields
to the acre.
Sugar Cane,
lu those sections of Georgia where
sugar cane Is the best paying crop, It
is plainly to the Interest of the farm
er to devote the ton of bis brain and
hands to this Important Industry. As
much good sense Is shown In deciding
what crop to raise as In making the
soil do Its best with what Is cultivated.
The syrup business of southwest Geor*
gla continues to increase, and the In
troduction of first-class syrup mills and
sugar refineries Is putting new life into
what, when properly developed, will
bring great increase of wealth to not
only the farmers, but also to the manu.
facturers and merchants of Georgia.
Wben agriculture flourishes, com
merce and manufacturers lift up their
heads and all rejoice together.
Caeeava.
In diversity there Is wealth. Hence,
we welcome and encourage In every
possible way any crop that promises
to open up new fields of enterprise.
Cassava la well suited to many sec*
tlona of the southern tiers of counties
In Georgia. Tbe result of many ex
periments gives strong proof of tbe
profit to be derived hr the farmers of
southern Georgia from tbe cultivation
ot this new crop.

abundance ot starch. One acre ft
south Georgia planted In cassava will
yield 4,000 pounds of starch, wbpchiis
far In excess of the quantity produc
by tbe best potato lands of Illinois Ott
Michigan.
This plant is propagated by cuttings
of tbe stems and attains maturity in
six months. The production la said
to be sixteen times that of wheat.
.Diversified Industries.
As this new agricultural Industry
progresses, great starch factories Wijl
be built up. just as the cotton crop has
built up great establishments for the
manufacture of cotton fabrics, snd Just
as the cultivation of sugar cane
bringing In syrup mills and sugar re
fineries. while tbe merchants of onr
rapidly growing cities and towns are
accumulating wealth from the handling
of the manufactured products, derived
from the crops raised by the farmers.
Thus agriculture, manufactures snd
commerce are making Georgia great
snd strong, and giving her the money
to build up ber schools and churches,
thereby advancing tbe great Interests
of education and religion, whlcb, with
hand Joined in hand and working har
moniously together, will make a people
powerful and rich In all the elements
of true great ness.
Corn snd Forage Crops.
I.et tbe farmer look well to his corn
crop snd do all in- his power to mako
himself Independent ol Ihe west. '
Is not said to encourage sectional sen
timent. but to promote a proper feel
ing ol Independence. In propoition tn
the larmer raises all that he needs of
wheat and corn for hts family and hay
for his stock, will his other crops,
whether cotton, sugar cane or cassava,
bo profitable Investments, Increasing
his bank account and giving him
ability to make hla home bright and
attractive with rural beauties, that
make It a veritable garden of Eden,
around which hla children's affections
will ever cling.
Work your corn early, so that neith
er grass nor noxious weeds may mar
Its growth. Persevere In tbe good
work agd wjth favorable seasons this
crop will pay you well.
Between tbe rows of corn plant
your peas, and. If you have land
.enough, devote some of It exclusively
to this soll-enrlchlng crop, which Is
to us what clover 'a to our brethren of
the north. In addition to Its great
power to renew the aoll In which It
grows. Its Juicy pess are good food for
man snd beast, and Its vines, when
properly cured and boused, make
bay which ran hardly be excelled.
Raise all the corn and forage crops
possible', that our barns may burst
forth with plenty, that our people
may be able to live at borne, tbat our
beef and dairy rattle msy render us
the heat possible service, and that our
working stock may be strong to labor
In the cause of man.
Doing our best to Improve diligently
the opportunities which God has given
us. we plant and water with the as
surance that uod will give such in-
rrea.xe as our real wants demand and
k Mis blessing will rest upon those who,
while they trust Him for results, fall
not to be diligent in business.
