THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bow-els without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company —

Seminary Tax Must be Paid.
The Supreme court has decided that
the Georgia Female Seminary is sub
ject to tbe tax sought to be collected by
the county commissioners through
Sheriff Mundy,holding that the institu
tion ’charged tuition and in that way
was a source of revenue to the owners.
The court, therefore, held it subject to
taxatation, as the constitution, in its
exemption clause, clearly excepts those
educational properties which are the
source of private or corporate profit or
income. The case went to the Supreme
court some time ago and a decision in
the matter has been anxiously awaited.
The Directors of the Chautauqau
held a very important meeting at the
Arlington Thursday afternoon. They
decided to secure Rev. T. Dewitt Tal-

aud Sunday July 9th and 10th to post
pone the Chautauqua one week begin
ning July 13th and ending July 23d,
provided a contract could be closed
with him at once. The matter will be
oositiyely decided by Monday or Tues
day next.
The price of season tickets was put
at $2.50 to include every entertainment.
Day admission will be 25 cents, and
night admission 35 cents. 50 cents will
be charged to hear Talmage’s sermon.
Treasurer T. S. Campbell was in
structed to collect at once ten per cent
of the stock. A number have not paid
in ten per cent of each of their shares,
$2.50, and this must be done at once, as
a meeting of all the stockholders and
directors will he held Thursday after
noon to perfect organization under the
charter and this cannot be done until
ten per cent of all the stock has been
taken in. This is an important matter
and each stockholder should attend to
it at once.
Indications point to this being the
biggest and best Chautauqua ever held
in Georgia, and the hearty co-operation
will make it so. Talk it up, and help
the good work along.
Entertainment Postponed.
The intertainment by the Delsarte
aud elocution class of the Seminary
which was to have been held at tfluj
Auditorium last night, has been post
poned until to-night (Saturday) on ac
