Amerlcus feels proud of the splen did accomplishment of one of her tal ented young boys, Master Willie Dews Miller, the handsome son of Prof, and Mrs. A. G. Miller, who was awarded tho Walters medal In the oratorical contest at the Georgia Chau tauqua Assembly on Monday.

BHOXOBIAL TUBES ALL STOPPED UP "Whilo a resident of Washinglon, D. ' C., I suffered continually and In- ‘ tensely with a bronchial trouble that was simply terrible to endure. I would have spells that I could hardly breathe, I would choke up, fill up >n my throat and bronchial tubes, and the doctoring that I did and the rem edies used were of no benefit to me whatever. I heard about Booth's Hy- omel being so beneficial In.catarrhal and bronchial affections and procured an outfit I received relief from the first by Us use. I continued with) it and received a cure.
