About the S. S. Picnic.
Some of our readers are at a
loss to understand, so we learn
the exact place on the river
where the Sunday School picnic
will be held. In giving notice
of the place last week we stated
that it would be held at the
bridge on the Thomasville and
Cairo road, when we should have
said Cairo and Duncanville road.
The Waldon bridge on this road
is the place. Don’t foget this
and be on hand. Committees
from all Sunday schools are now |
at work for the event and a pleas- |
i
ant time is promised to all who
attend.
A Model Store.
Nowhere in south Georgia can
be found a more handsome or
neater jewelry store than that of
Mr. C. F. Sanders in this city.
Mr. Sanders has just had sever
al new plate glass wall cases put
in his store and all of the interi
or decorations worked over.
The counteis, show cases and
wall cases are in Onyx finish and
make altogether one of the hand
somest appearances we’ve ever
seen. His handsome line of
gold and silver ware and cut
glass in the new cases give the
place one of the tastiest looks to
be imagined. His store is in
deed a model.

“My mother has been a sufferer for
many years with rheumatism,’’ says W.

she was unable to move at all, while at
all time* walking was painful. I presen

Pain Balm and after a few applications
she decided it was ’he most wonderful
pain reliever she had ever tried, in fact,
she is never wiihout it now and is at all
times able to walk An occasional appli

that she was formerly troubled with. »»
