Near Death in Big Pond.
It was a thrilling experience to Mrs.
j Ida Soper to face death. “For years
a severe lung trouble gave me intense
suffering,” she writes, “and several
times nearly caused my death. All
remedies failed and doctors said I was j
incurable. Then Dr. King’s New Dis-j
covery brought quick relief and a cure
so permanent: that I have not been j
troubled in twelve years.” Mrs. Soper j
lives in Big Pond, Pa. It works won- i

Hemorrhages, LaGrippe, Asthma,
Croup, Whooping Cough and all Bron

RECORD

of a Quarter
of a
I
CENTURY
For twenty-six years I have been selling Groceries,
Fresh Fish and Oysters to the people of Newnan and vicinity.
My business has grown from a few hundred dollars a month
to where it amounts now to thousands of dollars a month.
While I may be reported by some as being a “back num
ber,” I wish to. inform the public that I am “still on deck
when the bell rings,” both morning and night, doing-business
at the same old stand where I began twenty-two years ago.
My motto is to treat every man as I woukl have him treat
me. This is the Golden Rule which will bring the success it
deserves. So if you want a “square deal” when buying your
Groceries, call ’phone 54, give Swiht the order, and you will
be satisfied with the rest.
