I make this announcement subject to the will of the Democratic party, and will cheerfully abide by its action. James T. Chamblee. 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 to disease. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the safeguard of health.

A hand some sum was realized, $73.19, which will be immediately invested in good books. While we appreciate the en tertainment from a financial point of view, the kindly feeling which prompt ed it and the many expressions of good will, for our work is valued far more highly than the dollars and cents which were turned over to us. We are striving to build a great library here for the girls of to-day and for those who are to come hereafter. This means that thousands of dollars must be raised by some means, and we are glad to know that .the citizens of Gainesville are in sympathy with the movement and will help us‘ raise the amount. Already we have put between four and five hundred dollars into the Library this year. To Dr. Winburn, Mr. and Mrs. T. M.
