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.

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.

Regarding the Insurgent general
Herrera’s movements, it Is rumored
that part of his army, as an advance
guard, Is stationed In Chorrera, under
the command of General Julio Plaza,
and that General Herrera Is also ad
vancing with 5,000 men. If these re
ports prove true, there will be devel

TavcrnlUa and San Pablo, occupying
all the canal buildings of that section,

Barbacoas bridge.
General Navarro occupies tho
heights of Gulebra with about 850

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.
The old battle will be brought np and^foaght ’over again before the con

while those of the Women's Baptist Missionary Union will be held at Fnrlow
