The Cheapest, Purest and Best Family
Medicine in the World I
For DYSPEPSIA, CONSTIPATION, Jaun
dice, Bilious attacks, SICK H K A DA CHE, Colic,
Depression of Spirits, SOUK STOMACH,
Heartburn, etc. This unrivalled remedy is
warranted not to contain a single particle of
Mercury, or any mineral substance, but is
PURELY VEGETABLE,
containing those Southern Roots and Herbs
which an all-wise Providence has placed in
countries where Liver Diseases most prevail.
It will cure all Diseases caused by Derange
ment of the Liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS of I er Complaint are a
bitter or bad taste in the nioutn; Pain in the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu
matism; Sour Stomach: Loss of Appetite;
Bowels alternately costiv e a d las; Headache:
Loss of Memory, with a j ainful sensation of
having failed to do some t't ing which ought to
have been done; Debility ; Low Spirits, a thick
yellow appearance of the Skin and Eyes, a dry
Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of ti • mptoms attend
the disease, at others ve: v; but the LIVER
is generally the seat of t e disease, and if not
Regulated in time, great suffering, wretched
ness and DEATH will en- k .
The following highly esteetlied persons attest
to the virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator:
Gen. W. S. Holt, Pres. Ga. S. \V. K. R. Co.; Rev.
T. R. Felder, Perry, Ga.; C< 1. 10. K. Sparks, Al
bany, Ga.; C. Masterson. Fs Sheriff Bibb Co.,
Ga.; Hon. Alexander H. Ktu; Lens.
“We have tested its virtues, personally, and
know that for Dyspepsia, . iliousness and
Throbbing Headache it is the best medicine the
world ever saw. We tried fori y other lemedies
before Simmons Liver Regulator, but none gave
us more than temporary ieii« f; but the Regu
lator not only relieved, but cured us.”—Ed.

THE GOOD TIMES.
Let’s sing nliou It.i good times—the happy
times lo be—
As sing (he rivers rippling oil in music to
the sea! r
As sing the birds—they know not why—
when springtime days begin:
So let us sing the sad times out, and sing
the glad times in!
Let’s sing about the good times when every
cot and clod
Shall send a nencdictiou to the living skies
of God !
When the world a brighter beauty and a
nukr grace will win:
And life shall sing the sad times out, and
riug the glad times in!
I.et’s sing about the good times! They’ll
greet us on the way—
A rose upon the morning’s breast—a sun
throughout the day;
W hen life springs like a Idossom from the
color of the clod.
And the world rolls on in music to the
shining gates of God!

Professor Parker Dead.
Tbe news of the death of Professor
Howell B. Parker shocked the people
of Jonesboro to a profouud degree of
last Friday. lie died on
Thursday at Lavonia, Ga., where he
was engaged in teaching. A n attack
of acute pneumonia was the cause of
bis death.
For several years Professor Parker
was so closely identified with Jouesboro
ibat he has long been considered vir
tuallv a citizen of the town. Since his
marriage here with the daughter of the
late Rev. T. S. L. Harwell, he spent
all of his vacations hero, and at several
times was connected with the school.
He had won a host ul friends who were
deeply grieved by the sad tidings of his
death.
Professor Parker belonged to that
type of men whose lives are filled with
so much that is admirable and benefi
cial that when they die, there is,
indeed, an irreparable loss, and sorrow
is universal and profouud. He was au
erudite scholar and had attaiued emi
uence as an educator. He was a relig
ious man, aud it was his earnest and
constant endeavor to make his walk in
life upright in the sight of both man
and Maker. A reward, blissful aud
eternal, is surely to be inherited by one
so worthy.— Jonesboro News.

\\ hen a person is losing flesh and
wasting away there is cause for alarm.
Nothing so worries a physician. Con
sumptives would never die if they
could regain their usual weight. In
fact there would be no wasting of the
system. The cause of this loss of flesh
is a failure to properly digest ths food
eaten. Nine tenths of all our diseases
date back to some derangement of the
stomach.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial will
stop this wasting of the body. It acts
by causing the food we eat to be digest
ed so as to do good, for undigested food
does more harm than good. The Cor
dial contains food already digested and
is a digester of foods as well.

McDonough, ga., Friday February io, in<>-.
The Sc hoot book Committee.
We append below the resolution
passed by the last general assembly, at
the suggestion of Governor Atkinson
calling for a book committee.
The governor has made the appoint
ments and they are: Mr. T. D. Tinsley
of Macon, is the business mau. He is
a member of a very large mercantile
business in Macon. Mr. W. B. Mer
ritt, superintendent of public schools of
Valdosta, represents city schools. Mr.
Henry R. Goetchius, of Muscogee
county, member of the law firm of
Chappell, Chappell & Geotchius, is the
lawyer. Mr. J. C. Beauchamp, of
Pike county, represent the school sys
tern at large. On the commission Gov.
ernor Atkinson appointed School Com
missioner G. R. Glenn as exfficio mem
her.
No doubt this will prove a great sav
ing to the patrons, as there will be no
demand for such frequent changes in
the school books as are caused by mov
iug from one school to another. If a
teacher wishes to use another work,
one of hi* choice, he can furnish them
at his own expense.
“Be it resolved by the house of rep
resentatives, the senate concurring.
That the governor shall appoint four
citizens of this State, two of whom
shall bo educators of school officials,
one a lawyer aud one a business
man, who is neither a publisher, a book
seller, nor interested in any way in the
proceeds of the sale of school books,
who, with the state school commission
er, shall be known ae a school book
commission. Said commission shall
inquire into the methods that obtain
in other states of furnishing school
books for the common schools and to
devise and recommend some plan for
providing school books for the Georgia
schools at more reasonal cost, if possi
ble The said commission to make
their report to the next session of
the geueral assembly. Until the re
port of said commission is received, the
boards of education in the several
counties in which book contracts ex
pire shall make no long term contracts
iu the adoption of books, and the state
school commissioner is hereby instruct
to so notify them. The members of
said commission shall receive for their
services the same amount as is paid
members of the general assembly;
Provided, the state school commission
er shall receive no compensation for
such services; Provided further, that
said commissioners shall not have more
than twenty days iu which to complete
the work.”

Profitable Poor Farm.
Hall county conducts a successful
farm for her poor. We find the fol
lowing report in the general present
ments of the Grand Jury:
“The County Farm consists of 244
acres of land—about 40 acres in culti
vation. The farm has on it one dwel
ling for superintendent, four two room
cottages for inmates, two one room
cottages for inmates, commissary, cook
and dining room, barn and seven sta
bles, granary for storage, two mules,
three milk cows, four heifers, three
hogs, one two horse wagon and har
ness, one set of blacksmith tools. The
products of the farm for 1896 was 875
bushels of corn, 3,500 bandies of fod*
der, 12 two horse loads of peavine hay,
5 two horse loads of crah-grass hay,
150 bushels Irish potatoes, 100 bushels
sweet potatoes, 10 bushels peas, 25
bushels wheat, 1,219 pounds pork, and
a bountiful supply of vegetables.
It is the same old story and yet con
stantly recurring that Simmons Liver
Regulator is the best family medicine
“We have used it in onr family for
eight years and find it the best medi
cine we ever used. We think there is
no such medicine as Simmons Liver
Regulator.”—Mrs. M. E. S. Adington,
Franklin, N. C. "Each member of
our family uses it as occasion requires.”

It Seemed Fading Away, but Miss
Smifl Merely Missuuderstood Him, 1
She had met him at tbe door with a
loving kiss, but a momeut later, when
they bad taken seats in the parlor, she
rapidly removed the six engagement
rings he had giveu her aud bauded
them over with the remark:
“Mr. Samuel X. Johnsing, I’ze frew
wid yo’ and yo’r deceit, and yo’ can
Consider our engagement dun busted in
two.”
“YV what!” he gasped as the jewelry
dropped from his trembling hand and
great beads of perspiration came out
on bis forehead. “Haiu’t yo’ my true
lub no mo’?”
“No, sah!" she replied coldly. “A
mau may deceib dis lady once, but de
second time she’s gwine to diacert her
self.”
“B but, muh angel,” he stammered,
“who’s bin puttin’ dis trash in yo’r
sweet head ’bout me deceibiu’ yo’?”
“No one, sah. I dun seen de bull
thing wid my own two eyes.”
“B-but how’d I do it, muh lubbly

“B but”—
“And den yo’ wipe ’em off as if dey

I shed bitter tears over my pore broken
heart.”
He had been doing a deal of think
while she was talking, and there was a
look of injured innocence on bis face
as he stood up and said:
“Miss Smiff, sometimes things hain’t
jes’ what dey seem, and dis am one of
de times. ’Stead of wipin off dose
kisses yo’ speak of I was jes’ rubbin

And then the cold look disappeared
from Miss “Smith’s” face, the engage

that went on iu that room during the
next hour could have been heard a
block away.—New Yotk Suuday Jour

Rev. Sam Jones says: “Girls have

it in preference to a sturdy, hottest
young man. She’ll take such a thing
home and her father will have to take

Just Like Him.
A man gave his wife a fine parlor
lamp. She thanked him, and added,
“my dear, it remiuds me of you.” The
lamp being a very costly one, his ego
dam led him to ask for the points of
resemblance. She gave them: “It is
handsome to look at, requires a good
deal of attention, has much brass about
it, not very bright, (lares up sometimes,
liable to explode when half full, un
steady on its legs, always out at bed
time, and will smoke.”

“Dear Madam: Permit us once

count of $4.20 for telephone service,
which still remains unpaid. We have
waited patiently a long time for this,
and must now demand an immediate
settlement.”
The woman of the bouse sat down
and wrote in a leisurely way this reply:
“Gentlemen: I am glad to learn that
you have waited patiently for that
$4 20. Many a time when 1 have
been compelled to avail myself of your

“Bill Arp” undertook to defend the

sale attacks being made by certain sore
heads, and, in the course of bis remarks,
stated that he had never known a
judge who was charged with official
crookedness, and placed on trial before
the legislature. This brought old sis

watching with hawk like optics for
some one to deny the wholesale charges
which she had made against the judges,
and she forthwith proceeded to enlight

pose his ignorance of Georgia history,
by referring to certain judges who were
drawn over the legislative broiler some
eighty years ago. But “Bill” was
equal to the emeigency, and he trium
phanlly vindicated himself by replyiug
that his acquaintanceship did not reach
so nearly to the beginning of the cen

neighbor, and, therefore, be was ac
curate and truthful when he said he
“never knew” any such jclges —Ex.
