The burglars have been having a successful time about Lifsey Springs recently. They have made two suc cessful raids on the store of Mr. J. C. Lifsey. each time securing quite a lot of dry goods and groceries. The loss to Mr. Lifsey is estimated at two or three hundred dollars. The burglars went up through the floors, and made good their escape, leaving little or no clue as to their identity. Messrs. Jackson G. Smith & Sons’ vest pocket dictionary, like their ve hicles, is the best thing of the kind seen. It contains 30,000 words and is chock full of the most useful infor mation. This firm believes that knowledge of buggies gives power to decide in favor of Smith’s buggies, and hence they are anxious to furnish all information they can to the people who want vehicles. Mr. John Perry, a Barnesville boy, is making a live paper out of the Cordele Daily Hornet. The paper has a good patronage from the citi zens and it is an influence in the community.

" I was in pain all the time, could not lie in bed on account of severe, sharp cutting pains in my back and right hip. Had pain all through the lower part of my laxlv and my elbows hurt me so muc h I could scarcely lift my baby. My skin was dry, harsh and scaly and hung like sacks 011 my arms. My husband called the doctor, and he? said it was weakness, and my age. His medicine did me no good. I kept getting worse and weaker. It seemed I should go crazy. One day I wrote you and received advice. I have taken Hr. Pierce * Golden Medical Discovery, his ‘ Pa vorite Prescription ’ and ' Pleasant Pellets.' and now I can lie in laid with some comfort and can do a good day s work.
