“Pitts’ Carminative
Saved My Baby*a Life."
Johnson Station, Ga., September 16, 1898.
LAMAR & RANKIN DRUG CO., Atlanta, Ga.
Gentlemen: I can not recommend your Pitts’ Carminative too
strongly, as I owe my baby’s life to it. She had Cholera Infantum
when five months old, and I could get no relief until I began using Pitt’s
Carminative. The fever left her when I had given her but two bottles,
and she had fattened so she did not look like the same child. I advise all
mothers who have sickly or delicate children to give this remedy a trial.
Respectfully, Mrs. LIZZIE MURRAY.
It Saved Her Baby— Will Save Youre.

THE EVERETT OONCEBT GRAND.
“In the entire history of piano ma
king in America few instruments have
compelled more critical praise from
the trade press and expert musical au
thorities than the new scale Everett
concert grand piano. It has been just
ly said that this instrument marks an
epoch in grand piano development. A
thoroughly impartial investigation of
its merits reveals a voliimn and quality
of tone, a most delicious touch and a
thoroughness of manufacture that
shows that no money,has been spaced
to make a perfect instrument architec
turally, as well as musically. For all
purposes of interpretation, the Everett
grand possesses the essential elements
demanded by the world’s few great
virtuosi.
“It, is safe to assert that when this in
strument is brought more prominently
into public notice, as it will be in due
time, it will create a virtual sensation.
In these days when commercialism
dominates the artistic as well as the
everyday world, it is gratifying to all
in sympathy with the artistic phases
of tlie piano business to note the con
sistent policy of the Everett Co. in con
stant)’ improving their instruments,
and completely remodeling their man
ufactories and placing them In charge
of experts for the purposes of artistic
piano production of the highest order.
“It is no easy task to make progress
even with such creditable and com
mendable objects in view, for it is la
boring for the future, so to speak, in
stead of today. But for a firm like the
Everett Co., who understand that suc
cess is simply doing one thing well,
the way is clear, the end sure. ‘Blow
by blow, through earth and rock, they
will toil till a final stroke shall break
through to the crumbling quartz and
lay bare the yellow ore of realization.’
Thus will success be won.”
Tho above criticism of the Ev
erett piano ami the Everett Facto
ries is taken from the Musical
Trade Review published in New
York tinder date of December 17,
1898. Our New Everett piano in
upright, adapted for all classes of
work has not been surpassed by
the magnificent grand o? which the
Editor writes. These instruments
are now offered by the very best
dealers in the sonth at prices which
in many cases are very little in ex
cess of the cheap commercial pi
anos of which the country is now
well supplied. Investigation costs
but little, comparisons are very
beneficial. Write us and we will
tell you where you can purchase
the Everett piano from your near
est Dealer and at the smallest
price at which thr< very highest
grade goods made can be sold.

THE RAVAGES OF GRIP.
That modern scourge, the Grip,
poisons the air with its fatal
germs, so that no home is safe
from its ravages, but multitudes
have found sure protection against
this dangerous malady in Dr.
King’s New Discovery. When you
feel a soreness in your bones and
muscles, have chills and fever,
with sore throat, pain in the back
of the head, catarrhal symptoms
and a stubborn cough you may
know you have the Grip, and that
you need l)r. King’s New Discov
erey. It will promptly cure the
worst cough, heal the inflamed
membranes, kill the disease germs
and prevent the dreaded after ef
fects of the maladay. Price 50 cts
and SI.OO. Money back if not
cured. A trial bottle free at A.

The Nicaraguan Canal.
The United States senate has set
the seal of its approval on the
Nicaraguan canal project. It
has authorized the United States
government to subscribe for one
hundred million dollars worth of
stock in the company that is
building the canal. It remains to
be seeh what the house of repre
sentatives will do now. If the bill
passes that holy and goes to the
president it will receive his signa
ture and become a law. With
thisgovernment backing the move
ment to such an amount, there is
no doubt but that tho canal will
be built, and that it will be of
great benefit to this country ad
mits of no debate.—Athens Ban

Parsnip Complexion.
It does not require an expert to detect
the suffierer from kidney trouble. The
hollow checks, the sunken eyes, the dark
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urniate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once
repeated,or if the urine has a brick dust
deposit or strong odor.
When these symptons are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, cattarh of the
bladder, infiammatfon, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may rnn
into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous
stage oi kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such disease. Its reputation is world-wide
and it is so easy to get at any drug store
that no one need suffer any length oi time
for what of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits mention The Lawrem e
ville News-Herald and write to Dr- Kil
mer & (Jo. Binghomton, N. Y. for a sample

Oglethorpe Echo: Commission
er Stevens’ advice to farmers to

Dublin Dispatch: The pitiful
sum of only $5,000 was appropria
ted by Congress the other day for
the improvement of the Oconee
river, while the Oomulgee got
about $150,000. The Oconee is as
good as the Ocmulgee tin any re

good appropriation. Five thou
sand dollars is not over enough to
pull five snags out of the Oconee.

be too well known to the farmers
to fool them; yet we doubt not
many will swallow it and be
caught on the hook of ruinously
low prices again next year.

is very little if any liquor sold,
and a drunken man is rarely seen.
Of course, some liquor is shipped
in here for private use, but not a
great deal.

Dawson News: More corn will
perhaps be planted in Terrell
this year than ever before in the
county’s history, and more hogs
and cattle will be raised. The

ing their attention to home sup
plies as a means of retrieving
their losses under the all-cotton
plan. The farmer who raises his
hog, hominy, hay and sweetening
at home can stand a seige of hard
times better than those engaged
in any other occupation under the
sun.

April term of Houston Superior
court.
