This store will be painted and fixed up gen erally, and will be second to none as a model for business. I Will Enlarge My Stock Materially, and as you know, I have a uack at selling close, you’ll lose nothing by making me a visit in my new quarters. Until then, you can buy stuff from me a little less than formerly. Jim Reeves A human Characteristic. There was a tradition among the California Indians that they wore defended from a pack of prairie wolves, having Hat on their tails until they wore them off. The pigmies of Africa refuse to gratify evolutionists with any such pleasing tale. Aeeording t o Mr. Samuel Phillips Vomer, who writes about the little people from personal observation (Atlantic Monthly), when told that there are wise men who believe they are descended from apes the pigmies were filled with ama/mcnt and a storm of indignant protests greeted the suggestion. Tha p;gm io s not intermarried with any of the African tribes preserved their phy sical peculiarities for hOOO years, and proudly resent the theory of the ancestral ape, yet they are described as the lowest type of humanity in existence. Indignant to serve as the missing link is of itself sufficent proof that they are human like the rest of us. — Macon Telegraph. LOOK PLEASANT, PLEASE. Photographer C. C.

Abso lutely safe. Acts immediately.. Child ren like it. Jxo. H. Blackbukn, Barnesvile, Ga. L. Holmks, Milner. Ga. WEAVER. The health of our community is very good at this time. Cotton picking will soon be the order of the day, and will be gathered quickly. It is with much pleasure that we learn Mr. W. P. Hush is con valescent. Most of the fanners in our part of the county are now employed in saving fodder. They do not have to reach high in order to get it. as the stalks are unusually short. In making an estimate on this year’s crops, 1 put the corn crop at 10 percent. and the cotton crop at 05 per cent. The crops are the shortest that, have been made in the county for many vears. Numbers of farmers will not make enough to pay rent. And somebody will have to mani fest a good deal of charity or else somebody will suffer. But infinite goodness has never slumbered a moment, and so we need not des pond. J- B.

Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup has been used for over sixty years by millions of mothers for their children while teething with per fect success. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, cures wind colic and is the best remedy for diarrhoea. It will re lievo the poor little sufferer im mediately. Sold by druggists in every part of the world at 25 cents a bottle. Be sure ask to for Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing syrup, and take no other kind. That Norfolk young man, cash ier of a railway concern, who com mitted suicide the other day, was mentally unbalanced because cf drinking tea “and soft drinks in which cocoa is an ingredient.” How are we possibly to escape all of the pitfalls that surround poor human nature! If we drink whiskey it will send us into the gutter and finally to a pauper’s grave; if we drink coffee it will unstring our nerves and kill us with dys pepsia, and if we drink tea and “soft drinks we run the risk of insanity and a suicide’s death. Is a little thin pump-water, at long intervals and without ice, the i only safe course? Savannah News. NOT OTHER-WISE. There is an old allegorical picture of a girl scared at a grass-hopper, but in the act of heedlessly treading on a snake. This is paralleled by the man who spends a large sum of money building a cyclone cellar, but neglects to provide his family with a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colie. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a safeguard against bowels complaints, whose vic tims outnumber those of the cyclone a hundred to one. This remedy is every where recognized as the most prompt and reliable medicine in use for these diseases. For sale by J no. 11. Blackburn. Summer Kxt'ttrsions by Knit uml Sen.

Murphey—is a ticket selected by the people for the people. It is not a one-man ticket to carry into effect personal schemes. The Citizen’s ticket is the one to vote if you want economical city government. It is the one to vote if you want your town pulled out of the old dull ruts, it is the one to* vote if you want a busy, happy, contented community. The way to have and get a busy, progressive town, is to put men at the head of your government that can, will and know how to push it. „ Where does the working man make the best wages and get regular work ? In dull towns—no! Only in busy, progressive towns. Now, fellow citizens, the Citizen’s ticket advocates good streets, clean sidewalks, good government, adver tising and building up Gordon Institute, pushing it for ward, making an attractive town, thereby bringing more mills, more house-building, more factories, more people. Voters, this is the way to build your town, and to get these things carried on, vote for J. C. Collier, W. A. Prout and Otis A. Murphey FOR ALDERMEN, SATURDAY, August the 23rd! The Citizen’s ticket will have no time to fuss, no time to try and work personal schemes, but will work for harmony, peace, prosperity and good business, thereby helping every citizen in the community. Be sure to vote the Citizen’s ticket! It is related that the editor who penned the following truthful marriage notice had to take to the roof on publication day. A simi lar notice would more often repre sent truth and public opinion than the published ones do: “Married, Miss Sylvia Rhode to James Carnahan, last Sunday evening at the Baptist church. The bride is a very ordinary town girl, who doesn’t know any more than a rabbit about cooking, and never helped her mother three days in her life. She is not a beauty by any means and has a gait like a fat duck. The groom is an up-to-date loafer, lias been living off the old folks all his life and don’t amount to shucks no how. They will have a hard life while they live together and the news hastens to extend absolutely no oongrutu'ations, for we don't believe any good can come of such a union.” IT NEEDS A TONIC. There are times when your liver needs a tonic. Don’t give purgatives that gripe and weaken. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers expel all poison from the system and act as tonic to the liver. W. Scott, 431 Highland ave., Milton. Pa., says: "1 have carried DeWitt’s Little Early Risers with me for several years and would not he without them.” Small ad easy to take. Purely vegetable. They never gripe or distress. Jso. H. Blackburn, L Holmes, Barnesville, Ga. Milner, Ga.
