THEY NOW HAVE NIGHT SHIRTS
County Convicts Provided With Slum
ber 'Rol)es of Striped Pattern.
The convicts worked on the Terrell
county roads must hereafter sleep in
night shirts. For the enlightenment of
the modest reader it must be explain
ed that some time ago the state prison
commission ordered that sleeping ap
parel must be provided for all con
viets in Georgia, and the Terrell
county commissioners therefore placed
an order for the requisite number of
slumber robes.
This does not mean at all that pink
pajamas will in time supercede the
present garments. There was not the
slightest thought of fastidiousness
connected with the order. [t was
prompted by good sense.
The pattern of the recently acquired
robes is striped—not white. The wear
ers thereof have been instructed fully
as to what they are intended for.
SOCIAL HAPPENINGS.
Mr. Ed Freeman complimented a
number of his friends with a delight
ful supper party Sunday at the Free

Mrs. T. C. Geise entertained the

Every feature of the delightful oc
casion was thoroughly enjoyed by
those present. Delicious ices were
served at a late hour on the verandas.
Little Miss Alicg Ansley was the
hostess at a tacky party Thursday
evening, given in honor of her visitor,
Miss Edith Fite of Atlanta. Everyone
present found a full measure of fun
and pleasure in the evening’s enter
tainment. :

DAWSON DRUG CO. SUCCESSFUL
S
Induced Dr. Howard Company to
Make Special Price.
After a great deal of effort and cor
respondence Dawson Drug Co., the
popular druggists, have succeeded in
getting the Dr. Howard Co. to make a
special half-price introductory offer
on the regular fifty cent size of their
celebrated specific for the cure of con
stipation and dyspepsia. /
The medicine is a recent discovery
for the cure of all diseases of the
stomach and bowels. It not only
gives quick relief, but it makes
permanent cures.
Dr. Howard’s specifichas been so re
markably successful in curing consti
pation, dyspepsia and all liver
troubles that the Dawson Drug Co.
are willing to return the price paid in
clavery case where it does not give re
ief.
The old-fashioned idea of dosing
with mineral waters, cathartic pills or
harsh purgatives will soon be a thing
of the past. The best physicians are
preseribing Dr. Howard’s specific be
cause it really gives the desired re
sults and on account of the small and
pleasant dose that is needed.
Still Confined to His Home.
Mr. J. W. Glass, who has been con
fined to his home three weeks with a
severe cold, is reported to be improv
ing. The many friends of this clever
and popular gentleman hope to soon
see him on the streets again.
Ice Cream Kestival.
The juvenile missionary societies of
the Methodist church gave an ice
cream festival at the home of Dr. J.
W. Patterson Friday afternoon and
evening, and it was an occasion which
was very much enjoyed by all who at
tended. The sum of $9.50 was realized.

STEVENS' ANNUAL REPORT
TELLS OF THE WORK OF THE
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
Turned $77,000 into State Treasury
« from Fertilizer and Oil Inspection.
Weevil Quarantine Enforced.
The annual report of the state de
partment of agricuiture, O. B. Stev
ens commissioner, has been issued
from the press. This report contains
a number of interesting facts regard
ing the work of this department with
which, perhaps, the public is not gen
erally familiar.
The department maintains four cat
tle inspectors in Rabun, Towns, Union
and Fannin counties, the only counties
in Georgia from which cattle can be
shipped under the United States quar
antine laws to the markets of the north
and west.
By careful economy the department
has saved from the annual appropri
ation of $lO,OOO during the past four
years $4,000, which has been turned
back into the state treasury, notwith
standing during that time it has
issued and distributed 10,000 copies of
the most comprehensive work on
Georgia ever published.
The department has also issued 4,000
copies of a comprehensive book on
‘‘Georgia’s Resources and Advant
ages,’”’ some of which are still on
hand and now being distributed.
The department received during the
year $92,177.97 from fertilizer inspeec
tion fees, of which $65,811.57 was
turned into theé state treasury for the
school fund, the balance going to pay
the expenses of inspection.
The department received $34,449.39
from the inspection of oils, of which
$10,593.28 was turned into the state
treasury for the school fund.
State Chemist Jchn M. McCandless
reports the inspection of more than
700,000 tons of fertilizer during the
vear, which necessitated a larger
number of chemical analysis than ever
before in the history ct the depart
ment.
The state entomologist, R. I. Smith,
reports the inspection of 210 nurseries,
to 178 of which certificates were issued.
There were also inspected 163 orch
ards, in fifty-eight of which the San
Jose scale was found.
The boll weevil quarantine has been
strictly enforced.
