Shellman,
t The news of the death of Mr. Basil
Key Arthur, father of My, C. H. Arthur
0! Dawson, at Shellman last Friday,

paralysis, For nearly halfa century he
had been a member of the Methodist
church and adorned his daily life with
a consistent walk and conversation. lln
publiz trusts he was honored by his
'people, and his integrity ‘could not be
questioned. Coming to this section of
the state in early life from Burke county,
he soon made an impress for good here,

ant factor in building up social and ma
terial interests, He leaves 11 children
in all to mourn the death of @ father
and to cheer the now desolate home of a
widowed mother.

LEWIS HOLLAND DISCOVERS THE
BODY OF A DEAD BABY
in an Cld Well Near Bronwood--Coroner
Daniel Holds an Inquest--a Mystery.
Coroner John Daniel was in vhe
city Saturday, and said that he was

rear and old well where he had often
quenched his thirst in former days,
Mr. Holland’s curiosity lead him a
littie out of the way to look Into the
well, and be was in no way prepared
for the surprise that he experienced.
At the bottom of the well he saw
what proved to he the body of a
young negro baby. The body, which
was well developed, had the appear
ance of having been in the well sever
al weeks,
Coroner Daniel was notified and
responded promptly, Messrs, J. C.

'W. Guauels, S. M. Thompson and
I, H. Ellerbee were the jury of in

KNOWLEDGE
Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to gersonal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
tor than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world’s best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced “in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs. :
Its excellence is due to its presénting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Fyrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every

accept any substitute if offered.

The Albany Herald Says Terrell County Is
in the Doubtful Column, -
The people of Terrell will be surprised
to learn that this county has so suddenly
been turned into the doubtful columnin
the gubernatorial race. The Albany
Herald furnishes the news, and we yive
it below:
From: Mr, Walter Davis, of the Sale-
Davis Drug Co., of this city and Dawson,
the Herald learns that Dawson is grow
ing strongly ir favor of Atkinson asa
gubernatorial candidate.
“I went over to Dawson Sunday,”
said Mr, Davis, ‘‘and found that nearly
everybody was singing Atkinson’s
praises. Atkinson, you know, spoke at
Dawson last Friday. I ceztainly was
‘l surprised when I learned that an Evans
hot-bed had been so suddenly converted
into an Atkinson hot-bed. They say
Atkinson made a speezh over there, and
that it is now very doubtful which way
the eounty will go in the election,”
The intentions of THE NEwS' clever
young friend, Davis, are good, bul his
judgment is fanlty—very faulty. He
doubtless fell in with the few Atkinson |
boys about town, and didn’t rub up !
against the great mass of fellows who do |
the voting. The Struth is, they don’t
come to town on Sundays. Those who,
take an intsrest in political matters, and
are presumed to know, Zsay that the
Coweta candidate wont be in it here.
The city and country are both largely for
Gnaral Eraas.

Opens the Way for Malaria
Hood’s Sarsaparilla Makes Pure
: Blood and Cures Malaria. |
It is with pleasure that we call attention to
the testimonial of Mr. A. M. Beck, who is well
known in Florida, and to the travelling public,
having for years been a railroad passenger cons
duector and later, ticket agent at Jacksonville.
“C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: .
“Some three or four years ago I wrote to you
in reference to the good my boy had derived
from the use of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and now
allow me to say that the same boy and his
mother became i
Prostrated With Malaria !
and Hood’s Sarsaparilla has again been used
with satisfactory results. I do not believe you
can find a much better looking child for his age,
eight years, than our boy. For this picture ot
health his mother and also myself attribute it to
the use of that most valuable remedy, Hood’s
Sarsuparilla. His trouble before taking the
medicine was an affliction with boils, and a gen
eral breaking out all over his body. Of course
from such suffering the child became weak and

a general prostration of the system was a natu
