Artificial Digestion.
Is that all that you want? It is
not all that you can get. T. & P.
Stomach Tablets contain the best
digestive agents. These digest the
food; but if this was all they would
not and could not cure you. They
have combined with these digest
ive ferments, Tonics that act di
rectly on the organs of digestion,
and Laxatives that regulate the
Liver and Bowels, putting the sys
tem in condition to perform its
own work. This means that if you
will half way^take care, of your
stomach a cure is certain.
T. & P. Stomach Tablets are for
sale by all druggists. 50c. a box.

The elegant home of Mr. Geo.
M. T. Feagin was destroyed by
fire last Saturday,about 12 o’clock
m. The fire caught on top of the
house, in a valley where leaves
had fallen from surrounding trees.
The fire had gained such head

niture, including a fine piano was
burned. Mr. Feagin was sick in
bed, and was carried from the
house by his physician, Dr. S. D.
Smith, with the assistance of one
or more men.
The house contained seven
rooms, well built and elegantly
furnished. We are told the loss
is at least $8,000, with some in
surance.
The many friends of Mr. Fea-
gin and his-family sincerely sym
pathise with-them in their loss.
Mrs. Harman of Hawkinsville,
was visiting her parents, and Dr.
Smith was there on a professional
visit at the time.

Mr. W. J. Moore of Perry went

was sick, but they didn’t know
