A Beal Friend.
“1 suffered from dyppcpsla and Indi
gestion for iifteen yearB,” says W. T.
Hturdevaut of Merry Oaks, N. C, After
I had tried many doctors and medicines
to no ayail one of my friends
persuaded me to try Kodol. It gave me
immediate relief, I can eat almost any
thing I want now and my digestion Is
good, I cheerfully recommend Kodol.”
Don't try to cure stomach trouble by
dieting. That only further weakens the
system. You need wholesome, strength
ening food. Kodol enables yon to as-
aimulate what you eat by digesting it
without the stomach's aid. W. A Item-
bert.

gret here though, by virtue of his
long illness and very critical condition
for two days past, his many friends
here were prepared for this sad intelli
gence.
The end came shortly after 2 o’clock
in the afternoon.
Mr, Marshall had been ill with
typhoid fever for several weeks. Ke
cently some slight improvement was
noted, bnt this was temporary only
and the grim messenger triumphed.
The deceased had been a resident of
Americas for twelve years, occupying a
pretty home on Lee street. His du
ties as traveling salesman kept him
away much of the time, yet everyone
here knew him well and esteemed him
for his worth as a citizen.
For fifteen years he was connected
with the honseof WinD, Johnson & Co.
of Macon, and in this capacity was well
known over the stato.
The deceased was a native of Pons-
ton conoty. It was there he wedded
Miss Wimberly, and their married life
was an ideally happy one. She, with
two sons and a daughter, survive him
There arc also two grown sons by a
former marriage,

rold, W, C. Grey, J. A. Ansley. Jr.,

Virulent Cancer Cured.
Startling proof of a wonderful ad
vance in medicine ia given by druggist
G. W, Roberts of Elizabeth, W. Va. An
old man there had long suffered with
what good doctors pronounced incura
ble cancer. They behoved his case hope
less till he used Electric Bitters and ap
plied Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, which
treatment completely cured him. When
Electric Bitters are used to expel bil-
lious, kidney and microbe poisons at the
same time this salvo exerts Its match
less healing power, blood diseases, skin
eruptions, ulcers and sores vanish. Blt-

The affairs of tbe Peoples Bank,
which suspended several months ago,
are being wonnd up, bnt the process is
necessarily slow as abont all the assets

standing obligations. Mr. G. It. Ellis,
ae receiver, and Mr. It. L. Maynard, as

thing at all.

Drunkards and Fools Sometimes
Speak Truth.
A drunken man staggered into a
church one Sunday and sat down in
the pew of one of the deacons. The
preaeher was discoursing about prev
alent popular vices. Soon he exclaim
ed: “Where is the drunkard?" The
drunken man was just far enough gone
to think the call personal, so rising
heavily, replied: “Here I am,” and re
mained standing while the drunkard's
characted and fate were eloquently
portrayed. A few minutes later the
preaeher reached another point of his
discourse and asked: “Where is the
hypocrite?” Gently nndging his
neighbor, the drunkard said, in an au
dible whisper, “Stand np, deacon; he
means yon this time. Stand np and
take it like a man, as I did! It will do
yon good!"
