'YOUNG MAN’S SUDDEN DEATH End of Mr. Henry J. Anderson Came Thursday Morning, and Is Wrapp ed in a Mystery. | Mr. Henry J. Anderson, a well known young farmer, died at the home of his brother, Mr. E. L. Ander son, north of Dawson, Thursday morn ing. The cause of his death, as stated by the attending physicians, was an over dose of morphine. Whether the dose was taken by accident or intentionally is not certain, but it is more than probable that the former sup position {s the correct one. Although the deceased was in no way addicted to the use of the drug, he had been a keen sufferer from appendicitis and had been decidedly unwell some days prior to his death. It is probable, therefore, that the morphine was tak en for relief, and the measure over shot. Young Anderson was found early Wednesday night lying in his room in an unconscious condition. Dr. Tilley of Parrott and Dr. Lamar of Dawson were hastily summoned, and these physicians worked all night to restore the unfortunate young man, but their efforts were useless. "Mr. Anderson died at seven o’clock Thursday morning. The deceased was twenty-six years of age. He was a young man of ex emplary habifs and unquestioned in tegrity, and was exceedingly popular. His death brings much sadness to a host of friends. A $7.50 set of steel enamel and cop per ware given away free with every Majestic range sold this week at Daw son Hardware Co’s. store. A REGULAR CIRCUS. Trying to Give a Little Girl Cod Liver Oil. An interesting incident was told in Bell Brother’s drug store the other evening. A man came in and bought a bot tle of Vinol, and while waiting for change engaged the clerk in conyersa tion. Said he: ‘“We were told to give our little girl cod liver oil. 1 bought a bottle and took it home. We had a regular circus trying to get the child to take it. Then it did not agree with her at all, the oil upset her stomach. She did not get any better, so I told the doctor how we had failed, and he at once recommended your Vinol, saying that it contained all of the curative, bealing and strengthening properties of cod liver oil without a drop of oil, and that children all love its taste. “I took home a bottle and we be gan to give it to our child right away. She said it was delicious and wanted more. Almost from the first dose we noticed a change, and she has gained flesh, strength and appetite and sleeps well every night. “I don’t believe any one should give a delicate child old-fashioned, nauseat ing cod liver oil or emulsions when Vinol is so delicious, and it will do so much more good than any other tonic. It is simply a wonderful medicine for weak, puny children, and I am rec ommending it to my friends.” We guarantee Vinol will make weak, puny children strong, robust and rcsy, strengthen and invigorate old people and build up the run down, tired and debilitated as nothing else can. If it fails we willingly return everv dollar paid for it. , BELL BRos., Druggists. You will find in every sack of Su preme flour the finest flour ever brought to this market.

Controller-General Wright has sent out notices to tax collectors and re ceivers in the state calling their at tenticn to the changes in the tax act for 1906 made at the last session of the legislature. These instructions have been received by Tax Receiver Pinkston and Tax Collector MecLen don of Terrell county. Fon one thing,the tax of $lO on bank presidents has been abolished. The license tax on Georgia corporations has been fixed asfollows: Corporations ‘ with capital not exceedingi; $25,000, $5; with capital over $25,000 but less than $lOO,OOO, $10; with capital stoek over $lOO,OOO, but not over $300,000, $25; over $300,000 and not over $500,000,| $5O; over $500,000 and not over $1,000,- 000, 875, and over $1,000,000, $lOO. Another provisicn is that agents of all non-resident or foreign corpora tions shall pay taxes, unless the cor porations have paid by April 1 the occupation or license tax to the con troller general. Controller Wright ‘has also written a letter to the re ceivers and collectors calling their at tention to the tax on notes, accounts and personal property held by agents of the foreign corporations. Besides these charges, there are other minor provisions included in the tax act for 1906 that were not there before. An important feature is the require ment, under the franchise tax act of 1902, that all corporations shall re turn both their franchises and their tangible property to the controller general, instead of part of it to the tax collector. Supreme flour is going to the trade “‘straight.’”” The quality is what has given it such a run. " A MUSICAL EVENING. Charming Entertaiment to Be Given by Local Talent.
