A Complete Line of Harness, the very best that is
made.
The Dixie Force Pump.
What the world has been waiting for so long has come at last, a simple, indestructible, frictionless
pump, that a six year old child can operate; and which, when its merits are once known, becomes abso
lutely a household necessity.
WH AT IT IS.
Unlike others that have gone before it, it has no leather valves that soon wear out and lend to end
less annoyance. In the DIXIE, the 8-inch steel plunger is one-sixty-fourth of an inch less in diame
ter than the cylinder. On its circumference are three grooves. When at work, these become filled with
water, making it a water packer, absolutely air tight and giving such perfect suction that it can operate
in the deepest well. In Tuscaloosa, Ala., one iu a well 2u7 feet tleep has for 15 months been doing
marvelous work and has not cost a cent for repairs.
Its Capacity.
It will lift and deliver with perfect ease 35 gallons of water per minute.
Its Durability.
Having nothing to wear out, it is good for a life time.
The Water Tasteless.
The piping furnished with it is galvanized, making the water as pure as it comes from the earth.
Its Ease of Operation.
It can be operated with one finger. Any child six years of age can use it.
What It Can Do.
It can supply bountifully with the least possible labor your home with nature’s blessed gift—water.
By attaching pipe, it can deliver it at your lot. The turn of a yalye changes the direction of the stream.
By attaching §ose, it will protect your home against fire. A stream of water can be thrown over any
two-story house. With the same your flower yard or vegetable garden can be sprayed.
Who Endorse It.
Tbe following gentlemen, leading citizens of Catoosa and Walker counties, practical men who never
spend a dollar where it does not pay, are using it and find it the best investment they have ever made:
J. M. McFarland, John C. Roberts, J. B. Dixon, Thomas Reed,
William Reed. Judge Combs, Jos. Robinson, Jos. Obburn,
James Smith, Willis Jones, Seth Allison, T. N. Jones,
, J. J. Davis, 8. B. Dyer. W. E. Withers, R. F. Mize.
•; \ y N. G. Warthen, Dr. D. G. Elder, F. W. Copeland, S. W. Fahiss.
We ask you to investigate its merits. All orders promptly filled.

If a man is an old line whig, an
independent, or a republican, it
is but natural that lie should seek
a new club with which to fight
democracy. Tt is to be expected.
Human nature, no matter how
clever a man may be, will assert
itself. Bui with a democrat it is
different. He cannot afford to
turn against the only party that .
has been able to defeat tho force j
bill and give us home rule.
The race for the nomination
between Judge Maddox and Hon.
It. W. Everett is a close one, with
the chances in favor of the Judge.

Judge Maddox has carried Walk
er, 2, Haralson, 2 and Chattooga,
2. Mr. Everett has carried Polk,
2 and been endorsed by Cobb, 4,
and Bartow, 4.

Nellie Heck of Morgan was vis
iting relatives in Dawson last
woek. She and other children
were running around the house,

route, attempted to run through

raised. But the window had
been lowered and the child’s face

wound to heal and leave but a
slight scar. |

the beast down. Whether she
fired at the bull or the book ageut
is not stated, but the man had
recently been interviewing her.

Lawrenceville Herald: J. T.
Singleton lives at the old Craw
ford place this side of Duluth.
Saturday evening a dark and
threatening cloud rolled up and
he quit plowing and started to the
house, riding his mule. There
came a sudden flash, accompanied
by liaay thunder, and the light
ning struck an oak tree on the
side of the road only a few feet
from where Singleton was. The
shock prostrated the mule and
Singleton went down with it, and
was unconscious for a time.
When he recovered he found that
the mule had fallen on his leg.
He managed to get the mule up
and made his way home. Upon
examination of the ground it was
found that the lightning had
struck the ground before and be
hind where his mule was at the
time, and that another mule 100
yards off had been knocked down
at the same time.
