WEEKL AMERICUS TTMES-U ECQRDER. IffKKTV-FOCRTH TEAR, AMERICUS, GEORGIA, FRLDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1902, NUMBER 29 The Sickest Man is Not Always in Bed, The meanest kind of sickness is just to be able to attend to duties and yet not feel equal to the task. The eternal grind keeps many in the traces who ought to be in bed. A thorough course of Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic would give a new lease on life to such people. It tones up the the whole digestive apparatus. Puts the Liver in the best condition possible. Gives a splendid appetite. Renews strength and restores vitality. Office of J. R. LASSITER. Hendbontille, 8. C., Sept. 2, 1896. Mb. A. B. Girardeau, Savannah, Ga. Dear Sir:—Some years ago I operated a float ing saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of operations was being constantly changed, and my hands were always exposed to the worst malarial influences. I employed over one hundred hands, and the work was conducted as much in water as out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem ber there was great loss of time and business, on account of sickness among the workers. My attention was then called to Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the medicine a trial. I procured it, and those who were sick were put on this treatment, and those who were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic. In a short time every one of the one hundred hands was well and reported for duty; and from that time on I used nothing else but Johnson’s Tonic, and never had another case of fever. Yours very truly, J. R. LASSITER. NATION’S CHIEF IS GOESTJIFMEMPHIS Brilliant Parade Through the Prinoinal Streets. GUNS BOOM AND .BANDS PLAY.

Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets stimulate the liver years the Baptist slogan has been "a church without a bishop and a state with oats king.’’ Many of the forefathers have suffered bitter persecutions to up hold thIs>rinolple. Of late H has developed that many of the Baptist eohoole in ;Georgia have been receiving aid from the state, getting a share of the pnblio Reboot fond. Many of the leading men of the convention strennonely oppose the accept ance of state aid forlBaptist sobools, while other* contend that it is not a viola- Iatlon of the constitution of the United States nor of the Baptist priaeiple for these echools to receive aid a* they have been doing, because it is a ease of where the state employ* the teacher* In these Baptist eehoole to do itsjvork. There are some who go so far;as to say that the echools should not tonch tho state’slmoney, hot the Baptist* should care tor them. If tbe'.Gatholiee or the Episcopalians, they say, were receiving state money, the Baptists wonld bo the first to cry against it. There are still others who eey that, if this question is'pnibed to Be logical oonclnslon, each ebnreb most refnae to have its property exempted from tax ation and that the state must be made to cease legislating about theBabbath.
