w r« rijt\ M ■ AMERICUS TIMES-RECORD tWEHTY-FOCBTH TEAK, AMERICUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1903. 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. LABSITER. Hexdsonville, S. C., Sept. 2,1S96. Mr. A. B. Girardeau, Savannah, Go. 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 onee 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. ECHO COMES FROM COLORADO CONTEST Arapahoe County Republi cans Adopt Resolutions.! CASTRO EVINCES A SINCERE INTENTION ANTI-WOLCOTTITE3 CONDEMNED.

A razor was used and Sherwood’s head was almost sev ered from his body. It is thought that he had contemplated the deed for some time. It is a great affliction for a woman to have her face disfigured by pimples or any form of eruptive disease. It makes her morbid aud sensitive, and robs her of social enjoyment. Disfiguring erup tions are caused by impure blood, and are entirely cured by the great blood- rarifying medicine—Dr. Pierce’s Golden Kcdical Discovery. It removes from the Mood the poisonous impurities which esuse disease. It perfectly and perman ently cures scrofulous sores, eczema, tetter, boils, pimples and other eruptive diseases which are caused by the blood's impurity. It increases the action of tbe Mood-making glands and thus in creases the supply of pure rich Mood.

And Ameriene will thne become, in due time, one of the principal trait eenters of Georgia, as the planting of this mammoth orebard here will induce an immense increase in that industry. And the men behind the movement? who are they? is, primarily, a question of great interest tn this connection. Prominent among those interested Is Mr. H. Clay Bsgloy, |of At lanta, Mr. N. A. Bay, of Amerleus and Judge George F. Gober, tho lat ter being already the largest individual fruit grower ia the Istete end one of the most successful, his msgnifioent orchards in north Georgia being known tbrongbont the halt belt aa well as in the markets of the north>nd west, whence hundreds of carloads have been shipped in re cent years.

Tbe lands to be thne ntilized are portions of the large Bsgley plan tation, tbe former Bey plantation, and the Livingston place. AU of this lies in a compact body 8,000 seres in ares, as level ta a floor and highly prodnetive withal. In feet, there ia no finer farming lands in ail south Georgia. Mr, Bsgley was here yesterday, and elated to the Times-ltecorder that the company had already let the contract for the planting of two hundred thousand peach trees of selected varieties, and that three hundred thouiand trees additional wonld be planted ate later date.

This enterprise mesne not ouly tho investment of 8100,000 of eepitel here, bat the impetu* that will be given frail enltnre in Bnmter county will result in even larger benefits. It will transform an erstwhile ootton plantation into one of the most magnificent peach orebard* tn tbe state ot Georgia, and others will plant trees as well.
