SLUNG TO HELP Securing free¬ dom from the grip of catarrh makes loyal friends for tlie liberator. *» Pe-ru-na has M * been making ’ll friends of this kind for many % years. It cures f'l catarrh wher ever located. rf Mrs. R. Eades, i'- .of 35 Twenty eighth St., De¬ troit, Mich., is one of the many thou¬ sand of Pe-m-na's friends. This is what she says to Dr. Hartman: “ We have used your Pe-ru-na with the most remarkable results and would not be without it. We have always recommended it to our friends. A few years ago I purchased a bottle of your Pe-ru-na and after seeing its results, reoommended it to my grocer who was troubled with dvspepsta, tne curing of wh - ch induced ^ sell it in her gtore she has M , d lar ^ e amounts of it. My daughter has just been cured of jaundice with Pe-ru-na. My pen would groW weary were I to begin to tell you of the numerous cures Pe-ru-na has effected in our immediate vicinity within the last couple of years.” Dr. Hartman, President of the Surgi¬ cal Hotel, Columbus, Ohio, will counsel and prescribe for fifty thousand women this year free of charge. Every suffer¬ ing woman should write for special question blank for women, and have Dr. Hartman's book, ‘'Health and Beauty." All druggists sell Pe-ru-ua. “IN THE INTEREST OF At. \ THE PEOPLE-* as a citizen of the county you are not doin<» vour duty if you do not subscribe for and advertise in the county paper. Crops down on the river are reported good and not suffering for rain only where the land was not properly prepared. Suicide by poison is not more censurable than by refusal to cure yourself of Fe¬ male Troubles with Simmons Squaw Vine Wine or Tablets. If you want to make a man lie quick* just, ask him to lend you money or sell you goods on time when he does not want to do so. Uncle John Caldwell reports the Au¬ gusta Merry Makers show good and says the trip down there made him feel better in health. You cannot accomplish any work or business unless you feel well. If you feel “Used Up—Tired Out, ” take Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Medicine. Mesdames W. L . Kendrick and A. D. Moore had fly screens put to their dining room windows and doors. Good idea; flies are bad this season. Beef cattle are scarce. We are told that several have bought up lots of them and are pasturing them for fancy prices this fall. Beef is high enough now. Simmons Squaw Vine Wine or Tablets soften relax and expand muscles involved, Decreasing Labor. Labor Pans and Shortening When you want job printing done lot us know. We will carry it in and have it done as neatly and cheaper than jau got it by sending off for it. O. L. Bagby. Whowus.the man who said he got a nice night’s lodging in Augusta for 25c. We want to know so when we go to that city with but 25c. we get cheap rates. If “Out of sorts ” Cross and Peevish, take Dr. M. A. Simmons Ltver Medicine. Cheerfulness will return gnd life acquire new zest. A man in our town said Saturday that it would begin raining this week and rain until June 18 th. If that be tvue the grass and the farmers will have a royal battle. Ewell Jackson, one of Sharon’s finest looking bachelors got shot all over list week with syrup. Bro. L. S. got shot too. a little—financially. The barrel got too hot. ' Our people are counting largely on ( jth* f ],V tek v Mrt'rivin ii y ti»i tb pi v>iLe?u6 quite large and as it will be about all the fruit crop we will have. It will be a great help. We have a bantam chicken at our house that has laid every day since Jan. 1. This Is pretty big for people to believe but It is true. The hen will not weigh more than a pound and a half. Humilating Exa mlntion by physici¬ ans are avoided by use of Simmons Squaw Vine Wine or Tablets, which cure 99,out of every hundred cases of Female Disor bers. Mr. Marcus Norrb, one of our good farmers, has had his buggy ull repaired, repainted aud striped up. We think he intends to visit the Gioryland and the big meetings when his crop is laid by. It is probable that one of Sharon’s best financiers and business men will be in the race for legislative honors in the next election aud we think he will make a good race. His name will be mentioned further on. We will leave “Whippoorwill” on the roost this week. We have no cap to wear unless we borrow the old lady’s night-cap. We have three old hats that fit pretty well and can lend the sage of Fair Play one If he needs it. We heard some old farmers talking, last week, about, the colored race managing their own affairs on a farm so as to make any clear money. They contended that they could not do it, that they would buy all they could on credit and a heap they did not need and realty they had got so that they did not expect to clear anything. Some of the sisters of St. Joseph’s" convent school and several others of Sharon enjoyed a nice picnic at the old mines near Fountain camp ground on Wednesday of last week. The whole turnout left Sharon in great glee with the anticipation cf having a big day, especially the children, Sharon Compress Company have not started their work yet. We understand there is some misunderstanding about the land where it is to be put up on. We hear that a good many think this compress bus¬ iness will not lie any benefit to the farmers as to getting abetter price for the crop and we expect thry are right. There has never been much done for the laboring cla-s in these large improvements. We believe cotton factories are a help for they give more people work, especially the poor class and where there is more wuik there is more money. Red Hot From the Gun W.. ,h« fell U,.t M. «.
