Hal Southern Chill and Fever Remedy There being such a great demand for Fever remedies in this country, I have teen making a special study of the different remedies used in malarial troubles ever since I have been in the drug business. I de terminer. last Fall upon putting up some preparation that would cure the majority of cases of Fever, Ague, Chills, etc., and that would take the place of a great number of Northern.^»nd Western Fever and Ague re. |cdics, believing that one living in lliis section is capable of preparing Something that is better for.thc peculiar class of fever and the debilitating condition of the system that prevails during the Summer months. I have far ex ceeded my expectations— Last Spring I began to manufacture JENNINGS’ FEVER TONIC. Since which time I have put up and sold several thousand bottles, and IT HAS NEVER FAILED TO CURE single instance. Meeting with tliis unprecedented success I feel perfectly safe in placing a GUARANTEE upon EVERY bot tle; so, when it is taken according to the directions and it does not ef fect a cure the money _ will be re funded. | The regular practicing physi cians of the] country have examin ed the formjulu of Jennings’ Fever Tonic, and pronounce it efficient rftid harinlag I place lMore the public only a f '>"^«itb^Hcat nuivbevof unsolic; ited cort^Woes. .rccftssw rift regard to its cures. / T Albert Jennings, Druggist, Jasper, Fla.

Albert Jennings, Jasper, Fla.: Dear Sir—Last spring I had an attack of fever. Hearing of your Fever Tonic, I purchased a bottle and usod only a third of it and was cured. The remainder of the bottle I gave to a young lady who had had the fever for two years, and I have learned that it entirely cared her and she has not had the fever since. I take great pleasure in recommending it to those suffer ing with chills, fevers, etc. Very respectfully, N thei them “to make the best of it.” W; ever the stream of calamity so dark and deep that the sunlight of a happy face across its tur bid tide would not awake an an swering gleam? Why, these joy ous tempered people don’t know half the good they do. -No matter how cross and crabed you feel, no matter if your brain is full of meditations on “afflicting dispen sation.” and your stomach with medicines, pills and tonics just get one of those cherry little wo men talking to you, and we are not afraid to wager anything that she can cure you The long drawn line about your mouth will relax the cloud of settled gloom will i vanish—nobody knows where— and the first thing you know you are laughing. Ah 1 what a bless ing are these happy women. How often their little hands guide the ponderous machinery of life with an almost invisible touch? No one knows, no one will ever know until the day of judgement reveals, how much we owe to those hopeful, complaining happy women! Louisville proposes to honor the State o^Florida by naming one of her streets after it. Florida is un doubtedly the best advertised State in this or any other country. It seems strange t^at a wealthy and shrewd New Yorker should coine South and be victimized by a confidence operator from his own city, but such a thing actually happened in Chattanooga the other day. Some West Tennessee farmers are experimenting with an alleged new kind of corn which they call flour corn, and it is claimed to be difficult to distinguish bread made from it from that made front wheat flour. It is said to have originated in West Tennessee (perhaps from a grain of corn sometimes found on a fungus growth on a common corn stalk.) Atauyrate, it is alleged, that the grain found on that growth will produce a new variety of corn. ward making tho^ n - -securc-his retch so from custody: He is sanguine as to the success of his friends in making the bond, stoutly protests that be is innocent of the charge on which he was ar rested. band, and sometimes as great re-1 be done in the interest of harmo- sponsibilities.

In the search for it she learned that a negro girl was seen to pick up something on the streets and hand it to a negro man. Jeff Harrell and Jim Hunt took hold of this clue,* and by mid night they recovered the last dol lar about 10 miles from town. If whiskey helps the material prosperity of the people, the Sec ond Congressional District ought to be the most prosperous section of Georgia. There are 137 coun ties in Georgia, and in over 100 whiskey is prohibited. In the Second Congressional District there are 17 counties, and 15 of them are for whiskey.—Bain- bridge Democrot. continuously.—When your work is done you can lock it up in your office and put the key in your pocket. But she never locks her work up until sleep comes and \ turns the key upon it. A wo man’s work is never done. And modern life has increased and intensified it. Cares have mul tiplied faster than conveniences. Life is more complex its demands are greater and more numerous, society more exacting. Who needs a vacation if she does not? And she cannot get it at home. The more quiet and restful the home is to you the more evidence that it is a care if not a burden to her. A housekeeper can no more take a vacation than a mer chant iu his counting house. Even though her absence occa sions inconvenience, give her an occasional vacation. with bogus Republican histories. The writer was on a train last- week going east, which made a fast run. The run was made from Valdosta to Waycross, a distance of 61 miles, in one hour and thirty minutes, mak ing four stops—the stops amoun ting to fourteen minutes. This was about forty-eight per hour. Mr. Wright, a popular conduc tor on the fast mail, held the bell cord, while Engineer Ten- nent presided at the throttle. Going forty-eight miles an hour is about as fast as the able editor of this influential journal cares to travel.—Thomasville Times.

We learn that a young lady was cut by a piece of glass. If the creature who committed this act is in this county, much less in the vicinity of Rock Cut neighborhood, we hope lie will be captured, proven guilty and sent to the penitentiary for life. The church had already cost about $60,000 and:was not quite completed. The burning of this elegant church is deeplv regret ted. The citizens of Macon, with the liberality and enterprise that characterizes them, have already begun a subscription to rebuild and soon another edifice will rerr its magnificent proportions in the burnt district is testimony of the public spirit of Macon.— Dawson Journal. • Hawkinsvillc News—Mr. R. M. Cook, who svas in our office on last Saturday, informed us of a sad misfortune that befell one of his neighbors, Mr. R. D. Abner, near Mt. Calvary church in this county. Mr. Abner’s children were in the field picking cotton, w hen his little girl, Ida. about six years of age caught fire on her dress. The child screamed and ran, goine a distance of nearly two hundred yards. Her clothing was burned completely from the lower portion of the body, and the little sufferer endured her p«ins for one week, when death -ended her life. Mr, Abner also lost his youngest chield during the summer. The neighbors deeply sympathise with Mr. Abner and his grief-stricken wife. Good many of our country ed itors are iust now howlin through their columns for their patrons aud subscribers to come to their help, as the editorial family pot is about to stop boil ing. An editor is the last man in the world who should dun his patrons. The very moment he does such a thing, that minute he “loses his grip.” Editors, especially country editors, are supposed to be rich and power ful, and any direct acknowledg ment that does awpy with this pleasing hallucination, is fatal. The writer has been a country editor for fifteen years, but nev- money. Mr. Bennett refused, aud struck one of his assailants in the face, knocking him down; the other three then grabed him and held him fast and one of them made several slashes at him with a knife, cutting him on the right cheek, inflicting a slight flesh wound, and cut the sleeve of his coat. Mr. Bennett seeing he was powerless started to call for help, but was prompt ly gagged by one of the robbers placing his hand over Mr. Ben nett’s mouth. Three of them then held him while the fourth rifled his pockets. The robbers secured about $94 and fled Mr. Bennett immediately gave the alarm, and small squads of men were soon scouring the neigh borhood, and succeeded in “run ning in” twelve tramps, but as nothingcould be found on them they were released and given ten minutes to get out of town. —Jesup Sentinel.

If half the effort were made to pre vent murders in Louisiana that is made to save murderers from the gallows, there wouldn’t be near as many murders in that State as there is.

My Dear Son—I tried to write to you last week, but did not get around to it owing to circumstances. I went a wav on a business tower tor a few days j the cars, and then when 11 got home the sociable broke j loose in our onet happy home. While on a commercial tower- down the Omehaw railroad buy-] anew well digging machine! of which I had heard a good deal pro and con, I had the pleasure of riding on one of them sleeping cars that we read so much about. I am going on fifty years old, and that’s the first time I ever slumbered at c the rate * of forty five miles an hour, including all stops. I got acquainted with the porter and he blacked my boots in the night unbeknownst to me, while I was engaged in slumber. He must have thought that I was your father, and that we rolled in luxury at home all the time and that it was a com mon thing for us to have our bools blacked by menials. When I left the car this por ter brushed my clothes till the hot flashes run out of them up my spinal colyum, and 1 told him that he had treated me square, and wrung his baud when he held it out toward me, and I told him anytime he wan ted a good cool .drink of butter milk to holler through our tele phone. We had the sociable at our home last week, and when I got home your mother set me right to work borrowing dishes and chairs. She had solicited some cakes and other things. I dont know whether you are on to the skedjule by which these socia bles arc run or not. The idee is a novel one to me. The sisters in our set, onct in so often, turn their houses wrong side out for the purpose of raising $4 to apply on the church debt. When I was a boy we worshipped with less frills than they do now. Now it seems tbatlhe debt is a part of the worship. Well, wo had a good time and used up 150 cookies in a short time. Fart, of these cookies was devouredr and the bullance was trod intef our all-wool carpet. Several of the 3$$p^^£gl)le got to ilayin, the sittif l so had a disturbance iu the front room and knocked off some of the plastering. So your mother is feelingratli- er slim and I am not very chip- ( per myself. I sincerely hope that you are. working hard at your books so that you will be an ornament to society. Soci ety is needing some ornaments very much. 1 sincerely hope that you will not begin to mon key with rum. I should hate to have you meet with a felon’s doom, or fill a drunkard’s grave. If anybody has got to fill a drunkard’s grave, let him do it himself. What has tho drunk- ard ever done for you, that he should expect you to fill his grave for him? I expect you to do right as near as possible. You will not do exactly right all the time, but try to strike a good average. I do not expect you to let your studies encroach too much on your polo, but try to unite the two so that you will not break down under the strain. I should feel sad and mortified to have you come home a phisical wreck. I think one phisical wreck in a famiiy is enough, and I am rap-. — idly getting where I can do the entire phisical wreck business for our neighborhood. I see by your picture that you have got one of them pleated coals, viith a belt around it, and short pants. They make you look as you did when I used to spank you in years gone by, and I feel tho same old desire to do it now that I did then. Old and feeble as I am, it seems though I could spank a boy that wears kmckerbocker pants buttoned onto a Garabaldy waist and a pleated jacket. If it wasn’t for them cute lit tle camcl's-haii whiskers of yours I would not believe that you hud grown up to be a large, expensive boy with thoughts. Some of the thoughts you ex press in your letters are far be yond your years. Do you think them yourself or is there some boy in the school that thinks all the thoughts for the rest? Some of your letters are so deep that your mother ar.d I can hardly grapple with them. One of them , especially was so full of foreign stuff that you had got out of a bill of fare that we will have to wait lill you come home before wc can take it in. I can talk a little Chippewa hut that is all tLe for- oigh language I am familiar with. . When I was young we had to get our foreign languages the best We could, so 1 studied Chippewa with out a master. A Chippewa chief took me into his camp and kept me there for some time, while I acquiied Lis language. He bp- come so much uttached to me that I had great difficulty in coming y. away. I wish you would write in the United States dialect as much as possible, and not try to parlize . your parents with imported ex pressions that come too high for poor people. Remember that you are the only boy we’ve got, and we are only go- ■: •• ing through the motions of living here for your sake. For us the day is wearing out, aud it is now way along into the shank of the evening. All we ask of you is to impaove on the old people. You can sec ftberc I fooled myself, and you can do better. Read and write and sifer and polo and get nollcdgc, and try not to be asliam- of your uncultfr^itod parents.
