Among - the new girls who have come to ns since Christmas are Misses Eddie and Annette Perkins, Millen, Ga.; Emma Church, Graysville, Ga.; Ila Chuff, Lithonia. Ga.; Lillie Johnsou, Pine Bluff, Ark.: Onida Colbert, Five Forks, Ga.; Chalcy Mettauer, Melrose, Texas; Evline West, Fort Gaines, Ga.; Shepard, Harmooy Grove, Ga. and others whose names we do not recall at present. Several new pupils will be in next v\eek» We are all looking forward to the elocution recital of Miss Lewis on Fri day night, the 28th with much pleasure. She made a great reputation during Chautauqua and will doubtless sustain it upon this occasion. Prof. Wallace is doing the best work with the orchestra this year that he has ever done. By the way, he says that hereafter if patrons of the Sem inary desire to attend the weekly re- hersals, on Thursday afternoons, he will be glad to see them. A bulletin board has been placed in the front hall of the school building and every morning an epitome of the news is w**itten thereon. Attention is there brought to events which are tak ing place in the world and in the Libra ry are found the newspapers with the articles referred to. The senior class organized a few days since by electing Miss Ida Chandler of Waynesboro, as president; Miss Belle Johnson, V> interville, vice-president; Miss Mittie Porter, Col unbus, secretary, and Miss Sallie M. Cook of Covington, as treasurer. They will now go to work to leave something on the campus *or in the buildings to show future gen erations that they were once here. It will doubtless be something handsome, for this class does not do things by halves. Again we ask, why not begin the publication of the Signal? It fills a void in our college life. We all miss Mr. Townsend, who is preaching with greit power and success in Montgomery. He and his good wife have added much to our home life this year, and we hope soon to see him back in Gainesville. Exposure to Disease. This does not necessarily mean the contraction of disease provided the system is in a vigorous condition, with the blood pure and all. the organs in healthy action. When in such a con dition contagion is readily resisted and the disease germs can find no room for lodgment. Hood’s {Sarsaparilla is the best medicine to build up the system because it makes pure, rich blood, and pure blood is the basis of good health In cold weather it is especially neces sary to keep up the health tone because the body is subject to greater exposure and more liable %o disease. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the safeguard of health. Wants More Land, Dr. E. E. Dixon, Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, is in favor of buying more land for the pauper farm so that those who apply for help may be given a home there and made to do such work as they are able to do, thereby making the home self sustaining. He believes that this would prove much more satisfactory than allowing the poor to rent homes and call on the county for help that they may pay rents. Dr. Dixon made his report to the County Commissioners Tuesday, and that body will perhaps make some recommendations regarding it. What stops Neuralgia? Dr. Miles* Pain Pills. There was a slight change in the schedule of the Southern railway last Sunday.

The year 1898 promises to be a good one to the people generally, and busi ness will no doubt be good. The mer chant who advertises freely will get the larger part of the business, as the time has come when the people trade with those who appreciate their pat- rougge enough to ask for it. The Cracker goes into the homds of the people Gainesville business men want to reach, therefore it is a valuable ad vertising medium. If you are not now represented in its columns put in an advertisement at once. Dig down to the cause of your sick ness, if you want to get well and stay well. Most likely it’s indigestion. The irritating poisons of fermenting, putrid food, left in the stomach by in digestion, cause headache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizziness, stomachache, nausea, irritability, and all the other well-known symptoms of indigestion. They also cause many pains and dis orders which are often laid to other causes and hence are not easily cured. But as soon as the poisons are removed all these symptoms and disorders dis appear, because there is nothing left to cause them. Nothing succeeds in this line like Shaker Digestive Cordial, be cause it prevents the undigested food from fermenting in the stomach and helps the stomach to digest its food.
