Weak?
“ I suffered terribly and was ex
tremely weak for 12 years. The
doctors said my blood was all
turning to water. At last 1 tried
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and was soon
feeling all right again.”
Mrs. J. W. Fiala, Hadlyme, Ct.
No matter how long you
have been ill, nor how
poorly you may be today,
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is the
best medicine you can
rake for purifying and en

Don’t doubt your

a THE PRONUNCIATION FAD.
Where polite usage gels its nu
ithorily nobody knows. Now it is
paying that “valet,” the final sylla
ble of which wo have learned to gi\o
offhand with a highbred "a,’ shall
be anglicized just as “parquet” was
a few years ago and shall appear in
polite soeic ty in its plain English
etubhiness. It is likely that we
shall all stumble and stutter and
make mistakes at first, but eventual
ly fall in line of “els.”
There are'those who claim that a
polite “suburb” should have a long
“u,” that “tapestry” should be “a”
long and that the sun never “shone”
politely with a long “o.”
The same authorities are busy
with the new automobile importa
tion, “chauffeur” (sho-feur), which
has been called everything that is
polite. It might be called some
thing more, for it is not a truthful
term. It means when interpreted
"fireman,” “stoker” and is innocent
ly a good joke on our millionaires
who speed their own autos. —Grout

A Picture of De Wet.
Philip Pienaar, a Boer, who has
just written a book entitled “With
Steyn and De Wet,” says of the lat
ter: “Compared with Louis Botha
or almost any other of our generals,
Do Wet presented hut a sorry sight.
His manners are uncouth and his
dress careless to a degree. His tact
lessness, abrupt speech and his hab
it of thrusting his tongue against
his palate at every syllable do not
lessen his undeniable unattraetive
ness. But De Wet, if he lacks cul
ture, certainly has an abundance of
shrewdness and is not without some
dignity at times. And 1 must con
fess that it is chiefly owing to De
Wet and Steyn that the war did not
end with the fall of Pretoria.”
Quick Beard Trimming.
Because Michael Itosnik of Hazle
ton, Pa., refused to shave off a huge
black beard, which made his ap
pearance objectionable to his wife,
Mrs. Itosnik put a match to the hir
sute appendage while he was asleep
at his home. Pier method was al
most too successful, ltosnik’s beard
disappeared in a quick blaze, and
his face was also badly scorched.
He narrowly escaped being seriously
burned.
Congressional Black Eagles.
A letter came to Washington the
other day addressed to “The Black
Eagle, M. C.” There are two “Black
Eagles” in congress. One is De Graf
fenreid of Texas, “the Black Eagle
of the Pinv Woods;” the other is
Senator Clapp of Minnesota, “the
Black Eagle of Fergus Falls.” The
house postmaster got the letter first
and gave it to De Graffenreid. It
belonged to him.

Salary of the French President.
It is often said that the French
president receives no more than
$120,000 a year for his services—
that is, as a matter of fact the actu
al salary of the head of the republic,
but it is not generally known that
M. Loubet is Supplied gratuitously
with a number of household neces
saries which represent in value at
least SIO,OOO a year. For fruit, veg
etables, game, oil, logs for his fires,
gas and electricity he pays nothing,
while in addition his household lin
en is washed free of charge.
Unconscious Humor.
The London St. James Gaaette
draws attention to an unconscious
piece of humor on the part of the
British war office. Volunteers for
South Africa are directed in certain
circumstances to communicate with
tlie war office by telegram, addressed
"Fessitude, London.” The diction
ary explains the selection of this tel
egraphic address. Fessitude ia in
terpreted! u “weariness, obsolete.”

EXPOSING A FRAUD.
Dishonest holders of accident in
surance policies frequently put the
companies’ physicians to needless
trouble by claiming damage for tri
fling hurts, which under the law en
title them to nothing. Some de
liberately practice fraud, says a phy
sician quoted in the- /Ulanta Jour
nal, and pretend to have raiments
when they are sound in every part.
A few days ago,' says the physi
cian, I was summoned to a hospital
to examine a man who prfetended to
have had his hearing totally de
stroyed by the premature explosion
of a blast. I had an idea from the
start that- the man was shamming,
but all the tests that I could apply
seemed to show that he was stone
deaf. Still I was not satisfied and
resolved to trv a little strategy.
Coaching the nurse beforehand
how to act, I entered the room has
tily and cried: “Quick, quick! The
fire extinguisher! Where is it ? Nev
er mind the deaf man! Save your
self!”
Then we both rushed for the
door. But the patient wds quicker
than we were and got out before us.
He had the good sense, however, to
realize that the game was up, and he
never appeared again.
Criminal Leniency In Paris.
It is just a year since Mile. Chau
vin, the lady barrister, made her
first appearance at the Paris bar.
Interviewed on her experiences, she
states that the fact that she is a
woman seems to be forgotten by
both bench and bar, and she no lon
ger excites the slightest curiosity at
the law courts. She has appeared
in some fifty cases during the year,
including a divorce ease. She far
prefers equity work, however, and
never wants to enter an assize court.
In the first place, she says, one has
to tell too many, untruths there,
and, secondly, for her part she reso
lutely refuses to accept a brief un
less absolutely convinced of the jus
tice of her client’s cause.
Mile. Chauvin looks upon 4he
sickening leniency meted out to
inunderers in Paris and especially to
murderesses with disgust and stupe
faction and adds that no woman
need trouble to get a divorce. She
only need kill her husband to obtain
her freedom and become a popular
idol.

Familiar Names.
“Who represents the defendant in
this case?” queried Justice Hall of
Chicago after he had announced
that the case of the People against
Aird had been reached on the dock
et.
“I do,” replied Stephen A. Doug
las, stepping before the bar.
“And the prosecution will be han
dled by?”
“Robert E. Lee.”
“I’m more than glad to meet you,
gentlemen,” declared Justice Hall
warmly. “Your names are quite fa
miliar to me.”
The spectators in the court look
ed amazed as they listened to the
conversation at the bar. “I t’ot
them was both dead,” remarked a
small boy.
Lee, a distant relative of the Con
federate general, is city prosecutor
at the Harrison street police court,
and Attorney Douglas, son of the
“Little Giant,” represented the de
fendant in a larceny case.

CUFF MATTHEWS DEAD
Passed Peacefully Away Monday
Morning—Was Model Young Man
And Had Many Friends.
Mr. Cliff Matthews, son of Mrs.
J. T. Matthews, who has been con
fined to his home for some months
past, with a serious bronchial
trouble, died Monday morning at
2 o’clock. His condition has been
quite serious for sometime, but
notwithstanding this, his death
was very sad und caused somewhat
a surprise.
Cliff was a noble young man,
and had as many friends as any
young man in the city. During
all his illness he has been cheer
ful, and when he realized that he
could not live long, he said that
while he regretted to die, he was
not at all afraid of death. He was
perfectly satisfied that his future
home would be in Heaven. He
was just past twenty and until a
few months ago he was in robust
health. His untimely death is
indeed sad, but his short life is an
example worthy of imitation Iff
all the young men of liis acquain
tance.
Te funeral services were held
at the Barnesville Baptist church
Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock,
conducted by Rev. C. W. Durden,
his pastor. We sorrow with this
beloved family and join the peo
ple of the entire community in ex
tending tenderest sympathy to
them in this, another occasion of
deep sorrow.

Some Fine Horses.
Mr. Robert Mitchell returned
Sunday from a week’s trip to the
Blue Grass regions, where he pur
chased some tine horses. He pur
chased nearly a car load, and they

have arrived and many people
have seen and greatly admired
them. They are carefully select

Catarrh Cannot. Bo Cured
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional dis
ease. and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts di
rectly on the blood and mucous sur
faces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is not a
quack medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this coun
try for years, and is a regular prescrip
tion. It is composed of the best tonics
known, combined with the best blood
purifiers, acting directly on the mucous
surfaces. The perfect combination of
the two ingredients is what produces
such wonderful results in curing Ca
tarrh. Send for testimonials free.

Forsyth Guano Factory.
The Virginia-Carolina Chemical
Company are manufacturing High
Grade Fertilizers at their Guapo
Factory and Oil Mill at Forsyth
this season. The factory is under
the management of Messrs. Pres
ton Maynard and Robert Reid of
Forsyth. They give the mixing
of these goods their personal at
tention. They use nothing but
high grade chemicals in the man
ufacture of the goods. The am
monia in these goods is derived
from cotton seed meal and sul
phate of ammonia. The botash is
derived from imported Muriate of
Potash. The available Phospho
ric Acid is derived from Bone
Phosphate. They do not use Ger
man Kainit or a filler of any kind.'
They are making the best manipu
lated goods I ever sold, perfectly
dry and free from lumps.
I am shiping car loads of these
goods to many towns in Middle
Georgia every day. The farmers
appreciate these goods from the
fact that they can be distributed
through Gantt distributors, which
are now used extensively all over
Georgia, much more easily and
evenly than any blood or tankage
goods can be. I feel that every
business man in Forsyth as well
as every farmer in Monroe county
ought to appreciate the efforts of
the Chemical Company in making

The work at this factory gives em
ployment to a large ‘number of
people. I hope at an early date
that the Chemical Company will
enlarge their plant at Forsyth by
adding an acid chamber and mak
ing acid phosphate as well as all
other grades of fertilisers. This
would give employment to hun
dreds of people and help the town
and county.
Call at Preston Maynard’s bank
and Watts & Alexander’s ware

We sell in addition to the goods
made at our factory at Forsyth,
