Dr. Hughes Quite Ui.
Dr. J. B. Hughes’ has been
suffering the past week from a
severe attack of typhilitis. So
serious has been his condition
that it was thought an operation
must be performed. Dr. Man¬
ning Ellis, of Chattanooga, was
telephoned for, but upon his ar¬
rival here thought the operation
unnecessary. We are glad to an¬
nounce that Dr. Hughes is now
resting very well and shows con¬
siderable improvement.
For Representative from Whitfield.
We learn that R. L. Harlan,
one of Dalton’s popular mer¬ the
chants, aspires to represent the
county of Whitfield in next
house of representatives. Lee
is a good Democrat, a sound
business man, and Whitfield’s
interests could easily be ki
weaker hands. .
A Kappi Testimonial
Gadsden, Ala., May 81,1904. >
Mr. J. E. Johnson, Spring Place, Ga.
Dear Sir 1 have been agent
for your wonderful medicine,
Kappi, for quite a while. I have
never said anything to you about
its curative effect except the cur¬
ing of my boy of rheumatism the
best doctors failed on. Since
then it is widely known for the
curing of ail pains in man and
beast of the severest kind. 1 am
an old Confederate soldier, sub¬
ject to all kinds of aches and
pains, and it is a great stay to
me; besides, my wife uses it
daily with her poultry, keeping
them healthy. 1 could tell more
of its benefits, but for fear of
worrying your patience I will
just say send me two dozen bot¬
tles of yotir famous Kappi.
Yours truly.
E. M. Keeling.
If you are interested in bug¬
gies, it will pay you to call on us
and examing our stock of the very

HASSLER MILL
1 went on Fort mountain the
other day and sat on a high cliff
where I could get the cool breez¬
es, and looking west I could see
the Tennessee line as far as Chat¬
tanooga, south to the Coosawattee
river, east to Gilmer county and
north to Ducktown. What a
beautiful panorama. Smiling
valleys, interspersed with farm
houses, purling streams, mean¬
dering gaily along singing of
peace and contentment. Hearing
a rustling among the leaves and
looking around 1 saw three spot¬
ted-back ticks on a bunch of
grass, taking bearings of their
prey. “Exeunt omnes,” which
meant “get,” and I “got” home.
After greasing with rind onion juice
and old bacon to kill the
chigres, I slept like a toad frog.
