Ernest Smith, a prominent young attorney of McDonough, was a visitor in Jonesboro Monday and was cordially greeted by his many friends in this city. Colo nel Smith is a candidate for the Solicitor-Generalship of the Flint circuit and seems to be waging a very vigorous campaign even this early. It may be that the clever McDonough attorney realizes that lie will have to fight early and late to win over that able and popular opponent lie has in Col. Walter Wise, of the adjoining county of Fayette, who is said to be setting an exceedingly lively \mce in the running. Both gentlemen have m any friends in Jonesboro Who will watch their race with much gen uine interest.—Jonesboro Enter prise. Miss Daniel Entertains in Honor of Visitors, One. of the most delightful social affairs of Jhe fall season was t-lie reception given by Miss Lillian Daniel on Tuesday evening in hon or of her guest, Miss Dollie McKib ben, of Jacksbn.

Ho is succeeded by Mr. Homer Turner one of McDonough's promi nent and well known young busi ness men. Mr. Turner is too well known to need an introduction to the people of Henry county, and it is safe to predict for him much suc cess in liis*new field of labors. The McG urity RvUiion. On next Monday. Sept. 23rd there will be a family reunion of the McGarrity hoys at the old home place where Mr. A. W. McGarrity now resides. Everybody cordially invited to attend and bring well Allied bas kets.

A New Drug St >re To be known as the Horton Drug Co., is now being opened up in the the room formerly occupied by the McDonough Drug Co. in .McDon ough. The general management will be in the hands of Dr. Horton, who has acted in that capacity for about seven years. The prescription and sales de partment will he managed by Mr. A. G. Harris. While Mr, Harris has not been engaged in this line of work for the past few years, he is no stranger in the field. He at one time took a medical course in the old Atlanta Medical College. Later deciding not to practice, he then turned his attention to the study of pharmacy. Aftor taking that degree, he worked as prescrip tion clerk in a drug store in Griflin for a few years, then went to Jonesboro, where lie opened a drug store of his own and conducted it there for about eight years. Since then he has kept in touch with the medical world. We are opening a nice new line of goods, and will keep in stock ev erything that belongs to a drug store. *Wo will endeavor to show our appreciation to the public for the patronage we receive, by rendering prompt and efficient service. Respectfully, The Horton Drug Co. Copeland Company Put in New Line. The 11. J. Copeland Co. have put in a very large stock of fine cloth ing for men and boys, and have in stalled one of the latest and most modern systems of handling this large stock of goods. They have a line that will ap peal to all who are interested in a first class line of clothing and gents’ furnishing goods. Lame J>ac4*..

Mr. Luke LaGrange, of Orange, Mich., says of it: -'Afterjusing a plaster and other remedies for three weeks for a had lame hack, I pur chased a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, and two applications effected a cure.

Machinery is digging the Panama a thousand times uicker than the shove dug the Erie. Machinery produces L. & M. Paint at .'>o times less cost for labor, than if made by hand. The L. & M. gives tin* best job in the world, because L. and M. Zinc hardens L. & M. White I.ead and makes L. & M Paint wear like iron for ll> or 15 years. It only requites 4 gallons of this celebra ted j>ailit and il gallons of Linseed Oil at liOets. per gallon, to paint a moderate size house. If any defect exists in L. M. Paint, will repaint house for nothing. Sold by H. J. Copeland Mercantile Co., McDonough. Hampton Buggy Co., Hampton.

JACK, t, v ■ Read the sth chapter of Mat thew : “Behold, for the bill collec tor drawetli nigh.” Grady Maddox was a visitor to Bethany again Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Hooten spent Sunday with the latter’s parents. Uncle Billie Jenkins attended the singing convention at Stark last week. J. B. Rodgers has invested in a handsome new buggy. Uncle “Si” McKibben gave Tus saliaw a pop call Sunday after noon. The road machines have recent ly put the public roads of Tussa haw in fine condition. Bethany Snndayschool re-or ganized last Sunday and elected M. A. Norman as Superintendant for the ensuing year. From the present prospects there is going to be an over production of office seekers in Georgia by the time the election rolls around. Next Saturday is regular con ference clay at Bethany church, and a full attendance is expected, it being the time to call a pastor for the ensuing year. The annual session of the South River Baptist Association was held at Tanner’s church, eight miles from Atlanta this week and M. A. Norman, J. P. Rodgers, I. P. Ros ser, J. H. Rape, and W. E. Jenk ins, were the messengers to repre sent Bethany church at this ses sion. A meeting of the patrons and friends of Union Graded School was held last Saturday night .look ing towards the school interest at that place. A movement is on foot to erect a nice residence near the school building, for the princi pal to reside in, and it is to be hoped that the movement will meet with success. A very unusual scene occurred in Rockdale county a few days ago when Rev. J. J. Stevenson, a Bap tist minister, administered the or dinance of Baptism to Mr. Tom J. King who is paralized, and had to he baptized sitting in his chair. Tltis is the first instance we ever knew, where baptism by immer sion was administered to a person sitting in a chair. Say, we forgot last week to mention a very important matter in regard to the singing at the court house on the sth Sunday and that is that everybody is invited to come, and also everybody that comes is expected to bring well filled baskets in order to accomo date the large crowd that will be there. All should bear in mind that it's everybody’s singing, and everybody is expected to help en tertain.

Henry Co., Ga. Women as We!! as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon tlie mind, discourages and lessens ambition; beauty, t- -V,, — | vigor and cheerful ness soon disappear when the kidneys are — out °f order or dis : j— ' Kidney trouble has /7P%. )/ (I become so prevalent that it is not uncom // mp-f 5 mon for a child to lie born afflicted with -- rT**-’ JF ~ weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards tli; treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp=Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty cent and one-dollar size bottles.
