J Look at your tongue.
i Is it coated?
'J Then you have a bad
* taste in your mouth every
'< morning. Your appetite
is poor, and food dis
tresses you. You have
frequent headaches and
are often dizzy; Your
stomach is weak and
your bowels are always
constipa&d.
Therein old and re
liable emu:
Don’t take a cathartic
dose and then stop. Bet
ter take a laxative dose
each night, just enough to
cause one goo.d free move
ment the day following.
You feel better the
very next day: Your
appetite returns, your
dyspepsia is cured, your
headaches pass away,
your tongue clears up,
your liver acts well, and
your bowels no longer
give you trouble.

pants Was Too Slow for Him.
Lence He Returns to Gainesville.
The following article, acccna
med by a photograph of the boy
question ^appeared in an issue
the Atlanta Journal pf Mon-
&v: V '.
“For a 15-year-old boy to disap-
ar in the heart of Atlanta, to be
tas completely as though the
th had opened and swallowed
, seems almost an lmpossibil-
, but such has happened and
. and Mrs. W. E. Robbins, of
McAfee street, are m'ckirning
eloBsof their 15-year^old son,
illie, who has not been seen or
ard from since early Friday
rning, when he left his home to
to work at the Conklin man u-
turing company, at 400 Mari-
etreet.
“Mrs. Robbins is almost pros
ed at the loss of her boy and
possibly imagine what has
ome of him. The family moved
re from Gainesville Tuesday and
arsday Willie secured a position
Conklin’s. Early Friday morn -
he left home, taking with him
u nch to be eaten at noontime,
pwent to the shoe store of J. M.
on Marietta street, near
•nklin’s, and talked. with Mr.
about his new job. He af-
a rd left his lunch there and
led toward his work. That
the last that was seen of him.
• Robbins, when seen this
stated that she could
possibly think why her son
his home. ‘We made it as
as possible for Willie,’
the distracted mother, ‘and
a ^ wa Y8 apparently satis-
we never whipped him and

not act that way. He loves his
mother too well. He may have
become acquainted with some of
the city boys in the few days he
was here and they have led him
off. He may have been killed or
murdered. I don’t know what to
do.’
“While relating this story the
mother of the missing boy wept
freely and appeared greatly dis
tressed at the absence of her son.
At the time of his disappearance
young Robbins wore a black suit
of clothes and a black slouch hat.
He is 15 years old, rather large for
his age, has dark hair and black
eyes and weighs about 150 pounds.”
The family is known in. this
city, having recently moved to At
lanta from here. The missing boy
evidently got tired of Atlanta life
and longed for a few of the olden
scenes, for while his parents were
mourning his suddeu departure
Vjfjllie—better known here as
* ® ill, V—I was enjoying the associa
tion of his Gainesville companions.
Bill at first thpught of returning
to his Atlanta home, but lktet re
considered his determination and
notified his parents that he had
not lost himself but was safe in
his old haunts at Gainesville,
where he thought he would con
tinue his abode for some time.
GRIZZLE GETS ’EM.
Special Revenue Agent Gates,
of this district, states that Deputy
United States Marshal Dennis M.
Grizzle makes return of a greater
number of arrests than any other
deputy in the state. Mr. Grizzle
comes to Gainesville about twice
a^week and invariably" brings in
one or more prisoners, most of
whom, being unable to furnish the
bail fixed by the commissioner be
fore whom they have their pre
liminary hearing, are taken on to
Atlanta to board with the tower
warden until Judge Newman’s
court convenes next October.

Catarrh lias become , such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious Ilian a bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease ; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison through
the general circulation is carried to all
parts of the system.
Salves, washes anti sprays are unsatis
factory and disappointing, because they d<J
not reach the seat of th e trouble. S. S. S.
does. It cleanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly
and permanently the worst cases.
. Mr. T. A. Williams,’a leading dry-goods mer
chant of Spartanburg, S. C.» writes : For.year*
I had a severe case of “
nasal Catarrh, with all
the disagreeable effects
which belong to that
disease, and which
make life painful and
unendurable. I used
medicines prescribed by
leading physicians ana
suggested by numbers
of friends, but without
getting any better. I
then began to take S. S.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, 6A.
She is Old Enough to be His
“Aunt” and. He Wants to ^ f
Shake Her
Jtfdge Geo. H. Prior, who is pre
siding this week in the Hall city
court, was appealed to Monday by
a very much perplexed mother and
a badly frightened son, aetat 14,
who wanted legal advice. The
mother, whose name is Coker and
who for some time past has been a
tenant on the farm of Mr. Polk
Thompson m Banks’county, pro
duced a letter written on the offi
cial paper of the ordinary of Banks
county, which came to her here—
where she has taken up her .resi
dence-—citing; her to appear forth
with in the Banks county court of
ordinary, then and there to have
and produce ; in propria person a
her son Charlie, the before-men
tioned 14-yeaT8-old lad, to show
pause, if any either of them had,
why said Charlie Coker should not
be taught his duties and responsi
bilities a9 a “married man.”
Charlie is only a scrub of a boy,
but be admitted that several weeks
ago “the Thompson boys had in
duced him, j ust for devilment,” to
take upon himself marital obliga
tions, the other party to the mat
rimonial alliance being a woman
old enough to be his mother. The
“Thompson boys,” so he says, got
the necessary license and he and
the woman were “joined” by a
local justice of * the peace. After
the ceremony the mature bride
went her way and the youthful
groom returned to his mamma..
Charlie declares that he “didn’t
know they were really married,”
and the citation from the ordinary
to step up to the captain’s office
and settle for the hit of “devil
ment” has pretty badly frightened
him.
Judge Prior turned mother and
son over- to Col, W- S. Pickerpll,
and after examining . the Banks
county ordinary’s “habeas Corpus”
he informed Mrs. Coker that, as
she bad received it by mail, it was
no legal service and that she should
therefore give the matter no heed.
He further advised her;’ however,
that in order to escape future an
noyance and the possible legal
service of such a writ, to employ a
member of the Banks County bar
fend institute proceedings in di
vorce to have the unnatural mar
riage tie dissolved.
OLDEST. OF BIBLES.
The oldest Bible in America
today is to be found among a num-
her of ancient relics at Tallulah
Falls. It was printed at Basel,
Switzerland, in Latin by Nicholas
Kellers more than a year before
the discovery of the new world.
The monks of the monastery of
La Rediba, where Columbus left
his son when he left on the voyage
which resulted in the discovery,
illumined by hand in many col
ors the capital letters used in the
printed text. Upon his second
voyage Columbus brought the vol
ume with him, inscribing upon
the first page the following: “Iq
this direction alone will we seek,”
accompanying the words with a
drawing of three ships and a com
pass pointing toward ,the west.
In the collection is another very
interesting book—a native Chinese
Bible used by the converts during
the seige of the foreign legations
at‘Pekin. A third curiosity is a
Boer Bible, as used by General
Cronje in the Transvaal war, and

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded- disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up ■
,the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative pow
ers. that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to cure.
