THE ADVOCATE-DEMCCRAT. *vk*y t*iday morkihc n r-i cm ( J moorp ’ Official OltaD Taliaferro Cl. — CRAWFORDVILLE, MAR. 25 , 1898 . — - English captalists are buying Georgia gold mines. There are 800,000 people em¬ ployed by the railraads in the United States. Judge Lawson will probably run for Congress again. That golden idea of his is too, too. mi The Augusta a Herald claims that Candler ,, ,, is . running on a railroad ticket. Bad news if true. , Small-pox has by no means died out. It is constantly re¬ ported in various parts of the State and South. Over 65,(00 head of cattle were recently shipped from South Georgia to the west. Great Isold Georgia. The Georgia building at the Exposition at Omaha will be made entirely of Georgia Pine and will be very handsome President Coleman is fixing up a trip to New York, Niagara Falls, Washington and other places for tlie Editors this sum¬ mer.

Committee last week ordered a State primary on .June 6 to se¬ lect delegates to a convention to be held in Atlanta on June 39th at which time a full State tickot •will be nominated. England is surprised that thks great nation should get so excit¬ ed about the prospects of war with a poor, little country like Spain. Spain has 600,000 ffien they cau control aud the U.nipM States has 114,000 organized men and 10,000,000 they can call on if necessary. 111 III » I 0 It ia true wisdom for every¬ body to take a thorough course of Swift’s Specific just at thin season of t he year. The blood is sluggish and impoverished, and the system is full of impurities which should be eliminated. In addition to thoroughly cleansing the blood, and toning up the «ys**»m so as to avoid loss of appetite and a gen¬ eral run-down feeling in the Spring, S. S. S. go strengthens and builds up jvs to fortify against the many forms of dangerous illness that abound during the hot sum¬ mer season. It is a very small matter to take this precaution but it insures health and strength all summer. Swift’s Specific S.S.S.% Blood in far ahead of all othvr remedies fur this purpose. It is a real blood remedy which promptly purifies the blood and thoroughly renovates the entire system, ton as and strengthens the stomach, and renews the appetite. It is the only safe tome, being purely vege tnbh . and the only blood remedy guamnUtd to contain no arsenic, sulphur, mercury, potash or other mint ral substance, which is of so much importance to all who know the injurious effects of these drugs. Nature should be assisted bv na tlire's remedy, b. S. 8. Take S. S. S. and be well all summer. n Th \MK&m A MERCHANT’S LETTER. To l)r. Hartman, President of the Sar f ical Hotel. Marshall is a neat little city of 7,000 population in the State of Texas ' Among its many enter prising merchants is Mr. V. E. Wyatt. In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman. Mr. Wyatt says: “I have been afflicted with la grippe four times and the last time was worse than the first. I began to think, after trying several dies without any relief, that the disease could not be cured. Two years ago was the last time I had an attack of jt r decided to try Pe-ru-na and t got six bottles. A The first bottle I m took .... did me more f ....

I want everybody afflict ed as 1 was to know of the won derful merits of Pe-ru-na. ” Un less treated by Pe-ru-na, la grippe leaves the system in a plorable condition. If complete ly demoralizes the nervous sys tern, deranges digestion and dis turbs nearly every function of the body, Pe-ru-na is a perfect specific for this condition. It is an admirable remedy for the after effects of la grippe.

Kendrick and his wife celebrated their crystal wedding at Sharon in their ele¬ gant and beautifully furnished home, last Wednesday evening. Cravvfordville was represented by Mr. and Mrs U. S. Gunn. Mr. and Mrs. Horace M. Holden, Messrs. Bobt. Hadaway, Jordan Sanford, M. P. Deadwyler and Carl Holden. There were pres entabout 75 ,»eople who enjoy ed an up-to-date reception pier, and all we have to say is that one who did not enjoy the occasion has simply lost his sen sibilities for pleasure and don’t know how to appreciate nice treatment. Misses Annie May and Mary Love Kendrick with their brothers favored us with their usual good singing which was enjoyed by all who have a spark of music in their souls everybody was light hearted and happy. Some were heavy hearted and happy, but of their own choice. We would like to have time and space to give description of such hospitality. Suffice it to say that it was an occasion which will long be remembered by all. It is strange that some people think their town can prosper when they pull down on every enterprise and do not give any a chance by their aid.

APVOCATE-DEMOCBAT, Crawfordville, Ga. . j Will Fertilize Corn The amount of guano that has been brought here this year has made many look upon it as an index to another big cotton crop. Others take a different view of the matter and say that much of the guano is bought this year to use under corn. If this is the proper view, and we do not doubt it, then our farmers are getting ready to prosper as they never have before.
