It is rumored that Gov.-General

The representatives of the navy

The Jones county fair last week
was a complete success, and compe

If Roosevelt keeps one eye on the
political possibilities of 1904 he will
not be able to see his duty as a pres

It is said that the government of
Cuba will be turned over to Cuban

anyone who makes the attempt.
It is the purpose of the promoters
of this, and all other county fairs, to
illustrate fully all the advantages, all
the natural, cultivated and manufac
tured products. Of course there
must be rivalry, but in it there must
be nothing sectional or selfish. The
farmers should show tbeir best, and
thus others who have not done so
well can learn how to do better next
year. Let this idea prevail in every
department, and a comprehensive

The people of the towns must cor

•‘Something New Under

Ex-Gov. Thomas G. Jones of Ala-
abama, a good democrat,' who was
born in Macon, Ga., has been ap
pointed by President Roosevelt
Judge of the United States District
Court of Alabama.
On the morning of October 3rd,
1901, the angel of death visited the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Var
ner and robbed them of their pre
cious little daughter, Lois, aged 3
years Oh! how sad to part from
you, little Lois, but we know that
you are among the angels in heaven,
where we will meet you by and by.
She was such a sweet child; I nev
er saw her without a smile on her
beautiful, bright face. She was too
precious to dwell here on earth, and
God took her to live with him.
Dry your tears, dear father and
mother. Little Lois is standing at
the pearly gates waiting to'welcome
you home.
A precious one from us has gone,
The voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in the home
Which never can he filled.
All doctors have tried to cure Catarrh
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhal
ers and drags in paste form. Their pow
ders dry up the mucous membranes,
causing them to crack open and bleed.
The powerful acids used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed to
cure .while the pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An cld and expe
rienced practitioner who lias for many
years made a close study and specialty
of the treatment of Catarrh, has at last
perfected a treatment which, when faith
fully u ed, not only relieves once, but
permanently cures Catarrh, by remov
ing the cause, stopping the discharges
and curing all inflammation. It is the
only remedy known to science that ac
tually reaches the afflicted parts. This
wonderful remedy is known as “Snuf
fles the Guaranteed Catarrh Cure”
and is sold at the extremely low price of
One Dollar, each package containing in
ternal and external medicine sufficient
for a full month’s treatment and every
thing necessary to its perfect use.
“Snuffles 99 is the only perfect Ca
tarrh Cure ever made and is now rec
ognized as the only safe and positive
