Dyspepsia is unrecognized in
half the cases. It deceives the
unknowing sufferer. Its many
variations work along the weakest
lines of the system. To battle
against only one of them is vain.
Our booklet explains its symp
toms. Our Dyspepsia Tablets give
completeand lasting relief.

The corn crop is suffering very
much for rain, and is “firing.” Many

their cotton, though it is rather
small.
Mr. B. A. Heard says he thinks
his cotton has rheumatism, and that
it will not live very long.
Mr. Rube Smith says he feels just
as happy as any man, if- the boys did
laugh at him. He says he was pull
ing grass while the others were
laughing, and now has the cleanest
crop he ever had.
Mr. J. T. Hancock has the best
cotton crop in this settlement. It
will average waist high.
Rev. W. W. Childs filled his regu

Death of Mr. W. B. Powers.
By request we reproduce the fol
lowing from the Times and News of
Eufaula, Ala., concerning the recent
death of Mr. W. B. Powers, whose
wife, nee Miss Julia Hill, was reared
in^Honston county, near Perry.
“Under the direction of Mr. W.
B. Powers, Supervisor of the M. &
E. and E. & O. division of the Cen
tral of Georgia Railway, some ditch
ing was being done on the yard at
Union Springs, and he left Eufaula
Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday af
ternoon an extra work train, assist
ing in this work; switched onto a
side track for the passenger train to
pass on the main line. Mr. Powers
was standing on the rear end of the
caboose, when a sudden putting on
of brakes threw him to the ground
and before he could get up, the car
lunged back, the wheels passing over
the middle of his body, which was
horribly mangled. * * *
“Mr. Powers came to Eufaula two
and a half years ago, and by his in
tegrity and genial personality made
many warm friends. His interesting
family—wife and three beautiful
youg children, father and mother—
became identified with the city so
cially, and their friends are numer
ous. This terribly sad dispensation
which takes from them’in such a hor
rible manne.t, husband, father, son,
has cast a gloom over the entire city.
He was about 35 years old, in the
'full flush of prosperous manhood.
“The remams were carried to Ma
con, Ga., for interment. Superin
tendent Hall sent his private car to
carry the family. Mr. and Mrs. Ezel
and Miss Hill, sisters of Mrs. Pow
ers, came in this car from Macon,
returning with the family”
Colored Mutual Aid Society.
At Macon last week 300 delegates
of this society from all sections of
the state assembled in annual meet
ing. Of the societyjthe Macon Tele
graph says:
“This society has its own coffin
factory. The members pay 10 cents
a month, and are entitled to help
during sickness and a decent burial
at death. Out of their own funds
they estabbshed their own factory at
LaGriange, where is made all the
coffins used. Formerly these were
purchased of undertakers, but the
members were dissatisfied with the
make and price, and concluded to
manufacture their owp^
“The society is now endeavoring
to organize a cotton factory compa
ny among the members, and the en
terprise is under way.”
On Thursday evening, July 11, at
3 o’clock, the angel cf death visited
the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. W.
English, of Powersville, and took
their darling, Sadie Maud. She had
been confined to her bed only about
three days, with scarlet fever.
Sadie Maud was only three years
old, and was the light of her home.
All was done for her that could be
done by her devoted parents,, rela
tive's and a skillful physician, but
God took her to rest.
The remains were brought to
Wellston, where the burial took
place at 9 o’clock Friday morning.
Oh! how she will be missed by her
loving parents. But look up to the
Creator and iet him fill your life.
To the bereaved family the sin-
cerest sympathy is cordially extend
ed.
Farewell, fhongh ever so dear,
Thou hast left us all behind;
Thv memory will be always new
Until the end of time.

One of the best yields of
wheat-we have heard of in Hous
ton this year is that of Mr. W. C.
Lewis, at Havana. He harvested
1464 bushels from 6 acres. On the
six acres he used §30 worth of fer
tilizer and planted 6 bushels of
wheat. ' _

this district.
The Register, of Mobile, Ala:, ar
gues that the Chinese exclusion act
should be repealed, and that south
ern congressmen should work to
that end for the benefit of southern
agriculture. The contention is that
the labor situation is so entirely un
satisfactory that it would greatly
benefit the south to displace the
sniftless and unreliable negroes with
Chinese laborers. The Atlanta News
combats the suggestion with the
declaration,-based upon the experi
ence of California and other sections
where the Chinese have been in
large numbers, that the Chinese are
worse than negroes, and that to
make the change would be like
“jumping out of the flying pan into
the fire.”

EYE SIG-HT TESTED FREE
by one of the most renowned and successful as well as reliable Opticians in the
U. S. Mr. Hawkes has the modem appliances for the scientific adjustment of
glasses to the eye. There is no optician in the U. S. who enjoys the confidence of
the people more than Mr. Hawkes. His name is a familiar word throughout a sec
tion of country inhabited by over twenty-five millions of people. Mr. Hawkes
has probably adjusted glasses to the eyes of more people of national and interna
tional fame than any other Optician living. This firm was established in 1870.
EYE STRAIN
is often the cause of hea lache, dizziness, nervousness and dimness of vision. This
can be cured in many cases by the correct fitting of his Crystal lenses to the eye.
Call early; he positively remains but three days, as he has other engagements for
later dates.
CAUTION.—I would caution the public against buying spectacles from ped
dlers, going from house to house with a lot of spectacles, representing them to be
Hawkes’ or selling the same grade of goods. Hawkes’ Spectacles are NEVER
peddled. Many of the inferior glasses that flood tho country are positively injuri
ous to the eye.
Prom Ex-President of U. S., Grover Cleveland.

A. K. Hawkes, Esq.—My Dear Sir: I find your Cry stalized Lenses well suited
to my eyes for far seeing. And T shall enjoy them on iny shooting trips.
a Youre very truly, Gboveb Cleveland.
The Great Warrior and Statesman.
Mr. A. K. B awkes—Dear Sir: When I require the use of glasses I wear your
Pantoscopic Crystalized Lenses. In respect to brilliancy and clearness of vision,
they are superior to any glasses I have ever used. Respectfully,
Fitzhugh Lee, Consul General to Cuba.
One of Our Greatest Statesmen.
Mr. A. K. Hawkes—Dear Sir: The Pantiksopic glasses you furnished me some
lime since have given excellent satisfaction. I have tested them by use, and must
say they are unsurpassed in clearness and brilliancy by any that I have ever worn.
