THE CITY OF JERUSALEM.
Col. Sanders Views the Birthplace
Christ, His Tomb and the Scene
Of His Ascension.
of
Approaching Alexandria, Egypt
March 17, 1903
The tour of the holy land has been
completed in fifteen days of close ob
servation. Jerusalem is not far from
East of Savannah, Ga., but with a very
great difference in temperature. Je
rusalem is 2,400 feet above sea level,
the country ascending* higher and high
er until it reaches an altitude of 10,000
feet in the Lebanon mountains in
North Palestine. This range of moun
tains is much higher than the Blue
Ridge, with valleys as rich as Ken
tucky, beiDg a limestone country, with
numerous caves and mountain ridges
and deep valleys. The city of Jerusa
lem has about the climate of Asheville,
or Lynchburg, Ya., while the barren Jor
dan valley is as hot as Tampa, Fla. The
lands are very rich, indeed, except
the wilderness of Judea, and that is
the poorest, rockiest and most barren
land to be found.
If this country was under a good
government it would produce immense
crops. It appears that every foot of
this land is more or less connected
with some bible scene in the new testa
ment . For instance, I passed over a
point where the Ark of Tabernacle
rested in the hands of the Philistines
who were so anxious for its removal,
the home of Sampson and the scene of
the foxes—at every turn and crook has
some history. Did I tell you of the
birth-place of the Child Jesus, how it
looked in the Inn, in a stable of rock,
and his tomb in Jerusalem, Mt. Calvary,
Getbsemane, His ascension at Mt.Olive,
the humble home of Martha and Mary,
the judgment hall where He was con
demned by Pilate, and Pilate’s house
in which He was tried.
The great mosque of Omar, erected
over the rock of sacrifices, the hill of
Zion, the wall around the city rivaling
the Chinese wall, the quarries of Solo
mon, the tomb of James, the resting
place of the kings of Jerusalem, the
place in temple era, where Peter
preached his great sermons, and where
F*aul contended with the mob. I have
collected some notes of many of the
notable places especially of the con
struction of the temple under Solomon
Nehemiah, Zerrubbal, and under Her
od, and near the second century under
Emperor Hadian, and the Crusaders
and, lastly under the Mohammedans in
its present iorm and construction.
One might profitably study Jerusa
Jem for months. Russia has strorg hole
in the Greek church in the city anc
has 15,000 pilgrims recently arrived
and many thousands more to come to
Easter. She has four gunboats lying
in the harbor of Joppa for protection of
th° Russians. The Mohammedans and
Syrians are making great preparation
for the coming Easter. It is thought
that fifty to seventy-five thousand pil
grims will be in Jerusalem this Eas
ter.
Truly,
C. C. Sanders.

‘‘Sunshine Store.’*
TheUainesville Shoe & Clothing Co.
has an ad, in this issue to which we di
rect special attention. It is to be ap
propriately called the “Sunshine Store,”
because wheD you go there to trade you
are met by “sunshiny” people, that is
to say, those who are in a sunny mood,
and who appreciate your Irade, make
you feel good while you are trading,
and make your money go such a long
way that you, too, are imbued with the
idea that all around you is sunshine,
and that the place to get your money’s
worth is at that particular store. Mr.
L. H. Johnson, the genial manager,
will be glad to see you any time, and a
special invitation is given the trading
public to call upon him.
New Racket Store.
Milikia & Minchew is the name of a
new firm which opens for business in
the store formerly occupied by Bazanos’
candy store, Arlington block, this

young business men, and they expect
to do a good business. The public is
invited to call on them.

NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION.
1 have had occasion to use yourj
^Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medi.
cine and am pleased to say that I never
used anything for stock that gave half as
good satisfaction. I heartily recom
mend it to ail owners of stock.
J. B. BELSHER, St. Louis, Mo.
Sick stock or poultry should not
eat cheap stock food any more than
sick persons should expect to be
cored by food. When your stock
and poultry are sick give them med
icine. Don’t stuff them with worth
less stock foods. Unload the bowels
and stir up the torpid liver and the
animal will be cured, if it be possi
ble to cure it. Black-Draught Stock
and Poultry Medicine unloads the
bowels and stirs up the torpid liver.
It cures every malady ot stock if
taken in time. Secure a 25-cent can
of Black-Draught Stock and Poultry
Medicine and it will pay for itself ten
times over. Horses work better. Cows
give more milk. Hogs gain flesh.
And hens lay more eggs. It solves the
problem of making as much blood
flesh and energy as possible 1

sumed. Buy a can from your dealer.

Dr. George extends his thanks
for the patronage heretofore giv
en the firm of Dr. E. E. Dixon
& Co., and respectfuily asks a
continuance of the same for him
self.
