This week practically ends our year's work in the Advocate Democrat office. Next week is our semi-annual holiday, and we will not issue a full newspaper. The past year has brought to us many changes, as each suc¬ ceeding year will bring other changes. We have had our sor¬ rows and our joys. Some hopes have faded away and other good things have come to us unexpect¬ edly. As a whole, our people have been blessed in many respects— in most cases beyond our deserts. In our mad rush for this world’s goods and pleasures we are too apt to forget the source from which all good comes. We havo said and done for our fellow man things that would have been bet¬ ter unsaid and undone. There never was a better time to repent of our wrong doings than now. Right about on this line and make the coming year better if you are permitted to live through it. We are presanally very thank¬ ful to both our Maker, our friends and patron’s for what patronage and kindness we have received during the past twelve months. We have endeavored to do right, though we have not reached our ideal of rectitude, and wo will continue to try. Will our readers do likewise? We hopo so. After our week’s holiday and rest wo hope to be able to return to work with renewed energy and will do the best we can for our patrons the coming year. We wish you a merry Christ¬ mas and a happy new year, and that each and every one of you will make good resolves and adhere to them the coming year. Ninety-eight l’er Cent. There is a fascination about big profits to a business man. but the conservative and cautious trader prefers to have the lesser per cent, of interest and the larg¬ er per cent, of safety in his in¬ vestments. There is no business man who would not consider it a sound proposition to invest in au enterprise in which absolute loss was ninety-eight .impossible chauces and- which in otVetyd hundred of rich profiit. a a The statistics of cures effected by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery show that ninety-eight per cent, of cases of “weak lungs” can be absolutely cured. Almost if not ail forms of phys¬ ical weakness may be traced to starvation. Starvation saps the the strength. The body is just as much starved when the stom¬ ach cannot extract nutrition from the food it receives as when there is no food, • » Weak lungs. 1 1 bronchial offections, obstinate coughs, call for nourishment’ “Golden Medical Discovery” supplies that uourishment in its most condensed and assimilable form. It makes “weak lungs * t strong, by strengtheng the stom¬ ach and organs of digestion which digest and distribute the food, and by increasing the sup¬ ply of pure blood. Good Will to the Poor. Christmas is almost here, Hap¬ py. merry shouts will greet Santa Claus. Happier will be the parents who helped kris kringle to the secret of what their darlings wanted. Just out of your circle there are lovely children whose moth¬ ers have been carried forth this year iu the sable coffins. If you had gove, would your children bo happy? comfort their hearts with a little Christmas gift and sweet word. Remember too some homeless, penniless ones have gone this year from your country to the Orphans sHomes. Comss to us this week full ot 111 Misawtdppi.

The Republicans in Congress have ppssed a law making the gold standard more secure and the rich man’s dollar worth more, ^he next thing they want to do is to cut down the South’s representatives in Congress. Then will come the disfranchise¬ ment of the Southern negro vote. Link by link the money power is welding the chain of oppression about the necks of the common people. There has been great excite¬ ment in Wall street, New York, this week and a panic was feared, The English war in South Africa is causing the trouble, so said. Money was so scarce that some people were barrowing and pay¬ ing 180 percent interest. Price, McCormick & Co., New York, sent the Ad vo-Democrat a telegram Saturday night and another Tuesday in which they say that they think money matters are easier and that cotton prices had reached the bottom. The trouble has caused cotton to drop. The Western Assurance Co , was one of the heavy losers in the recent Augusta fire. It is one of the strong companies represented at Crawfordville by Clem Moore. The Eminent Kidney and Bladder Specialist. BIS ■ c B % The Discoverer of Swamp-Root at Work la Sis Laboratory. There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep¬ tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by It—heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad¬ the vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack vital organs, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Then the richness of the blood—the albumen —leaks out and the sufferer Bright’s cowry is the true specific for kidney, bladder and urinary troubles. It has cured thousands of apparently hopeless cases, after all other efforts have failed. At druggists in fifty-cent and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book telling about Swamp Root and its wonderful cures. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. and mention this paper. A New Shop.
