The Laurens County Clerk is
catching up with his work even

headright grant of 223 acres of
land in Laurens dated 1865, was
recorded by him last week.

Guard Against it by Building Up

Pepto Mangan Creates Rich Red
Blood and Increases Strength
Surgeon General Blue, of the Unit
ed States Public Health Service, in a
recent statement fr>m Washington,
warns the public that the much dread
ed influenza epidemic may will prob
ably return this fall and winter. All
medical authorities agree that the
weak, bloodless, rundown individual
is more likely to contract this (as
well as any other infectious disease)
than is the strong, robust, red-blood
ed man or woman. In view of there
facts, it is wise to use every effort to
build up the blood and thus increase
the bodily resistance to the invasion
of the germs of the disease. Gude's
PeptoMangan is an absolutely de
pendable red blood builder in all con
ditions of lowered vitality not due to
serious disease of ths vital organs. It
improves the appetite, imparts color
to the cheeks, and creates new hope
and ambition in those who have be
come pale, weak, and listless- Phy
sicians recommend Gude’s Pepto
Mangan. When you order be sure
the word “Gude’s’’ is on the pack
age. Without ,J Gude’s’’ it is not

which we had been cracking
pecans fell from the table and lit

If the small boy gets a much

can terrify his parents to within

cry that he is being Prussianized
It has been the habit of the “on
looker’’ brand of philosophers to speak
sourly ol the fact that people help
one when he begins to succeed and
let him go to Guinea when be fails.
But the man who is doing the suc
ceeding sees the matter in its true
light, and-he says that as he gains
the ability to do things in his particub
lar line, the public begins giving him
commissions to doUhose things. And
by having plenty to do and always
working in the right spirit, which■
puts the dollar in second place, abili-1

fame or fortune, or both together, are
