WILL SUMMER. ft Scheme With Real Estate Trimming That Won In Oregon. “Speaking of schools in relation fcc polities,said the ex-boomer from Ore gon, “always reminds me of a campaign in which I was interested some years tgo. The Douglas county representative in the Oregon state , legislature, reali>: ■fng that his popularity was not exceed ingly great, had been talking of build ing a new state normal school, presum ■ libly at Rose burg, the county seat and his own home. This caused great con sternation among the 350 inhabitants «f the little city of Drain, who had been {profiting by the courtesy title of * Drain Academy and Oregon State Normal school, ’ under which the school there had been run since 1885. The postmas ter, wsbo kept a drug store and sole school supplies, took counsel with hi* sister-in-law, who dealt in millinery and mu a boarding house for students and she sought the mayor, -at; •whosv general merehandiss'emporium she wa> the principal customer. “The mayor Was a man who though* slowly, but to a purpose, and, having •st himself the task of devising soint fray of circunneuting the. membei from Roseburg, he passed the next tin>* days in profound cogitation. He con eeived a scheme whose various elabors tious and ramifications were too diver silled for him to handle alone, and tit same to me for help 1 had just gained considerable influence in the count; through backing a projected railroad tc the coast, and also as a real estate deal er and sawmill owner. With my bus’ ness methods and the mayor’s know' 1 edge ntf the conditions confronting ui oar plans were soon put into operation First, we suggested the candidacy of as ambitious young Drainite, a dealer in leather goods and hardware, for mem ber of the legislature, taking all th» Wind out of his opponent’s sails by heartily indorsing the talk in favor of a new normal- school. Meantime we hac a large grain field of the mayor’s, whicb had begun to lose its fertility on ac count of overeultivatiou, surveyed into city lots, and as soon as our candidate had received the regular party nomina tion we pat the town site of East Drain, with its streets named after conspicuous men of the state, on the market and gave one of its centrally located block# for the new normal school. “Well, everything came to pass ex actly as we had planned. Our candidate was elected, and the building of the new normal school on the site we gave was authorized. We sold a sufficient num ber of East Drain lots to more than pay for the land and all expenses. The con tractors on the new school were men who had aided the legislation authoriz ing it, and tbey got their supplies from the mayor, their hardware from the member and their lumber from me. My mill also supplied lumber for other buildings in East Drain, including a new boarding house for the milliner who has prospered ever since. The post master’s increased business soon war ranted his moving into one of the two brick buildings in the city of Drain, and the former dealer in leather goods and hardware is still member of the Oregos legislature. ,! —New York Son. NEED FOR SLfcfcr*. The To- Most Important Compensation All Effects of Fatigue By far the most important compensa tion for all effects of fatigne is sleep. Everybody, even the man mentally most inert, develops when awake a mass of mental effort Which he cannot afford continuously without suffering. We need, therefore, regularly recurring pe riods in which the consumption of men tal force 6hali be slower than the con tinuous replacement. The lower the de gree to which the activity of the brain sinks the more rapid and more com plete the recovery. The mental vigor of most men is usu ally maintained at a certain height for the longest time in the forenoon. Evi dence of fatigue come on later at this time of day than in the evening, whet, the store of force in our brain has been already considerably drawn upon by the whole day’s work. If no recovery by sleep is enjoyed or it is imperfect, the consequences will invariably make themselves evident the next day in a depression of mental vigor, as well as in a rise in the personal susceptibility to fatigue. The rapidity with which on* of the persons I experimented upon could perform his task in addition sank about a third after a night’s journey by rail way with insufficient sleep. Another experimenter could detect the effects of keeping himself awake at night in a gradual decrease of vigor lasting through four days. This observation was all the more surprising because the subject was not conscious of the long duration of the disturbance and was first made aware of it incidentally by the results of contin- the ued measurements on the causes of manifestations of fatiguA"—Popular Bci sues Monthly. An Old Idea. Every day strengthens the belief of emi nent physicians that impure blood is the cause of the majority of our diseases. Twenty-five years ago this theory was used as a basis for the formula of Browns’ Iron Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected by this famous old household remedy are sufficient to prove that the theory is correct. Browns’ Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers. m Stock ATLANTA, deducing Sale CentemplatedChanges on the interior of the Store Necessitates Stock deducing. ^Profits dfave ffteen ‘Zdtpecl J^way. Within the next few weeks over one-haif of the present W store will be given over to workmen to remodel and pre- W pare for a removal of some departments to the new an- W nex now being built on Hunter street This necessitates ju Stock reducing, and we have decided to make this move- M ment one of the greatest opportunities ever afforded W Georgia buyers for buying the various wares in our line K at low prices. Former prices and first cost have not entered into the consideration of the new and inviting prices we now name. Large and ample stocks must be reduced to a mere nothing. That’s the one thought— the one necessity that has had any weight in the making ^ of such absurdly low prices at this time. It’s impossible to mention every department in an advertisement of this ^ character, but only to mention a few of the many things ^ affected. Where we name one department there are ^ two, where we name one item there are a dozen. This ^ sale is now in effect, and should you desire to purchase ^ anything in the lines of. Carpets, Furniture or Dry Goods, ^ it will richly pay you to write our mail order department ^ and get further information and prices. We quote a few dto here: Carpet Department, This department will offer the best values ever given to the trading public of Georgia. Not on one or two lines have we thrown out bar gains wth the hopes of alluring you to buy something else, but anything you may select in this mammoth stock can surely be had with a large slice off the regular price. Carpets priced below includes the making, laying and lining with padded paper, and any one desiring us to hold same until the fall season can do so by paying for them now, at which time they will be made and insured against a loss oy fire at our expense.

Drapery Department• Never since Draperies have been sold do we believe such Draperies were sold at such prices. You can now drape any window or nook in your home at an average of HALF PRICE. Every pair of Curtains in the house has been handled within the past few days and marked at prices that will surprise you. Those found to be sold down to one, two. three pairs have been actually reduced so much we would almost hesi tate to tell the price for fear you might suspect something wrong with Be assured of this, though, that no unworthy, cheap Draperies them. have been bought to help strengthen this sale—every pair mentioned is our regular high-grade stock. These prices mean just what this sale is intended for—to reduce stock prior to moving in the new quarters.
