Health Was Greatly Impaired, But
Hood’s Sarsaparilla Built It Up-
Sores Have AJI Disappeared.
«I was troubled with eruptions on my
face, which appeared like scrofula. Mv
health was so much impaired timt i waa
advised to take Hood’s Samaparin^ to
build me up, and I bought six bottles.
Before I had taken half of this amount I
found that I was improving. I could rest
better at night, and felt refreshed In the
morning. I gained in flesh |md when I
had finished the six bottles the sores on
-my face had all disappeared.” J. B. Bod-
die, Postmaster, Nashville, No. Carolina.
“ Aftet suffering from a sore leg for 25
years, four bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla
made a complete cure. It is several yean
since I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla, but T
have not snffered with any sore or erysip
elas in that time.” Mrs. M.J. Hartley,
Lovett, Georgia. * Remember
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
Is the Best—the One True Blood Further. Be
sure to get Hood’s and onlj Hood’s.

Better prices are paid for chickens
mid eggs in Gainesville than anywhere
els©—the prices here being even higher
than in Atlanta. This trade comes
from the territory within a radius of
sixty miles of the city. Wagon load
upon wagon load of chickens and eggs
are sold here, and the market is always
lively.
“I was.in Murphy, N. C., last week,”
said a well known produce dealer a
few days ago, “and they are paying
only five cents per dozen for eggs,
while we pay from six to eight cents
in Gainesville
pound for- ‘fries,
Mr. M. J. Charles, HaH. county’s effi
cient and popular tax collector, has
been in town this week from his home
at-Flowery Branch. He has been tax
collector four years, and also has his
present term *to serve out. He is not
yeify busy with taxes now, hut is pre
paring for collections later in the year.
They pay six cents per
,’ or from two and a
half to ten cents a piece, and five cents
per ponnd for hens—or from twelve
and a half to fifteen cents a piece—
while we pay from eight to sixteen
cents for ‘fries,’ and from eighteen, to,
twenty cents for hens.”
This shows that Gainesville prices
are’ better thvn elsewhere. Another
great thing in favor of Gainesville is
that there is always a cash market,
and goods can be bought cheaper here
than almost 4 anywhere else. Our mer
chants have their goods marked at
very low figures, and those who do'
their trading here find it to their in
terest to do so.
The agent of the Southern Express
<5ompany has secured lower rates to
northern markets, and has also ar
ranged to ship to Baltimore, Philadel
phia and Washington, which are new
markets for Gainesville, and this will
enable the buyers here to pay better
prices than ever.
Gainesville is doing her part by the
people who make this their market by
paying them more for their produce
than they can get elsewhere. With
new markets open to the produce deal
ers and lower shipping rates than haye
previously existed, better prices will he
paid in Gainesville, and greater induce
ments are offered the people to bring
their produce here.
