“Pitts’ Carminative
Saved My Baby’s Life •"
Johnson Station, Ga., September 16, 1898.
LAMAR & RANKIN DRUG CO., Atlanta, Ga.
Gentlemen: 1 can not recommend your Pitts’ Carminative too
strongly, as 1 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 Youra.

To Nurserymen and Flnrists of tha
State of Georgia:

Women Should Know It-
Many women suffer untold agony and
misery becuuse the nature of their disease
is not correctly undeistood. They have
been led to believe that womb trouble or
female weakness of some sort is respon
sible for the many ills that beset woman
kind.
Neguralgia, nerveousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheu
matism, a dragging pain or dull ache in
the back, weakness or bearing-down
sensation, profuse or scanty supply of
urine with strong odor, frequent desire to
pass it with scalding and burning sensa
tion, sediment in it after standing in Dot
tle or common glass for twenty-four
hours, are signs of kidney and bladder;
trouble.
The above symptons are often attribut
ed by the patient herself or by her physi
cian to female weakness or womb trouble
Hence so msny fail to obtain relief, be
cause they are treating not the disease
itself but a reflection of the primary
cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact women as well as men are made
miserable with kidney and bladder trou
ble and both need the same remedy.
I)r. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is the great
discovery of the emineut kidney and blad
der specialist, and is easy to get at any
drug store for fifty cents or one dollar.

THE CHRONICLES OF CECItSIA.
From the DeKalb New Era
And the ancient expert said un
to the modern tyro:
My son, for many yenrs the gov
ernor’s office has been sore pressed
to make buckle aud tongue meet.
And many have been the shifts
to which they of the kitchen cabi
net have been put to carry along
the deficit from one year till the
shekels come in from next year’s
gathering of the tribute.
Now do thou let Allen, The
Plowboy, send messengers before
his face to them of the rulers and
elders of the people that jower 50
days every year ut SI4OO a jower.
And let Allen send writings by
his messengers saying unto the
jowerers :
Lo the governor sayeth, even Al
len The Plowboy doth give you to
wit, that the buckle will not buck
le aud there is no more room to
bore another hole. Selah.
Theu said the young man unto
the sage: And how, Oh paterfam
ilias, does this let me onto a snap
or how doth it hit any biff unto
Bill, whoge surname I misscalled
Kit with offensive prefix ?
And tho old man wuuk his eye
and said, Go to. Dost thou sup
pose anybody will stop to think of
this, and canst thou not create a
miration in the paper ?
And the youth got onto the curve
and said, Verily, Dad, thou art a
bute. Selah.
And after some days were passed
and the council of the rulers and
elders from the uttermost parts of
the land were gathered together
and had jollied each other a long
time in the Kimball house rotun
da, and had finished handing
round the solicit! rship, pie and the
judgeship cakes for tho last time
and Allen had been duly anuoint
ed governor; that Allen sent a
message unto the boys who wore
assembled together in the great
hall.
And Allen said untc the hoys,
Lo the spondulix are out. There
are many things to be paid even ns
the same have been ordered by the
assembly of the elders and the
wherewithal is lacking.
Neither is it in sight.
Lo, ye must squander less mon
ey and find some new trick to raise
more wind or the exchequer will
bo in the soup.
And the next day tho paper came
out with scareheads even an inch
and a half in length.
And while it did not say so in
plain terms it was understood to
mean that Bill, whose surname
was Atkinson, had been a very
wasteful governor.
And Bill’s withers were not un
wrung thereby, but he did wince,
even as the galled jade winceth.
And for all that was known per
haps he needed to wince, but Bill
had not been any worse than the
rest.
But Bill, whose surname was At
kinson, was ever a belligerent cubs
and failed not to hit back.
So much so that Bill himself
wrote a message and went over all
the figures and did completely
prove that two and two are sixteen,
arithmetics to the contrary not
withstanding.
And Bill’s message was printed
in the papers, but it wub too long
and nobody read it but the boys.
And Clark, whose surname was
ap Howell, did chuckle with glae
and said something about his ad
versary writing a book.
And Clark did cause his hench
men to prod Bill full sore about
his post mortem message,
And Clark did holler so loud
about spending less money and re
ducing the tribute that many there
were who really believed he meant
it.
And thej'e were in those days
guileloss and unsophisticated peo
ple who really expected the rulers
and the elders to give relief. Se
lah.
But verily they did not get on
to the game.
And the elders and the rulers
counselled together as to where
they could make a cut.
And one malcontent said unto
the orthodox, Lo, my brethren, go
to. Is it not clear that ten per j
cent, off all round will square the:
game ?
I say unto you, therefore, let us
begin at the top and cut ten per
cent, off of the governor’s soap,and
go down even to the bottom and
cut ten per cent, off of everything,
and the game will be square.
And the name of this sinner was
Watkins, and he dwelt in the
mountains of Gilmer.
And, therefore, great clamor
arose, and some said he was fool
and some called him a Marplot,
and there were those who said he
was uo better than a pop.
But Clark, who was also ap How
ell, wrote in the big paper and
said, verily, he is a Demagogue!
And he spelt it with a very large
I).
And Clark said, know ye not
that if ye took off, not ten, but 100
per cent., of all tbe salaries there
would still not he enough to cash
the chips?
And some said, Yea, Boss, verily
but we can begin 1
But Clark and all his henchmen
did cry out with loud yells and
‘said, Away with him I so much so
that those who favored beginning
with the office holders could not
so much as be heard.
And after the space of mime
days tho rulers and elders said,
Let us take a little bit from the
school children, so that the people
mav he appeased.
And this they did, and increased
all the extravagance, and fixed a
rate for the tribute that would not
meet the emergency.
And thereupon they went home
and Clark said, It is well 1
And he said to himself, I have
left Bill to bear the brunt.
But Bill, whose surname was At
kinson, hied him to his home,even
to Coweta, and said, All things
comes to hnn who waits.
Let us abide even unto the next
meeting of the assembly and see
if the buckle and tongue ain’t fur
ther apart. Selah.

Well, yes,
I must confess
That I’m no less
A personage than
The weather maul
Weather

You like the feather

You’ve got
To accept it, hot
Or cold,
And all your gold
Will not prevail against it. Old

Is on to his biz,
And when he wants to whiz
He whizzes,

Thunder with a big T!
But he
Can’t fool me —
More than a few times a day,
Anyway,

And predict rain,
And watch in vain,
And pain,
Till it —snows !
Then it goes
And overthrows
My prediction of a snow storm

It catches a case
Of spring fever, and in place
Of icicles we have a vase

And then me,
Standing there to see
What his next move will be,
Get hit
By the cold wave. I knit
My eyebrows over in a fit
Of inspiration, just as I
Have called for clear sky
And balmy weather! By
The eternal,
This infernal,
Goldarned, supernal,
Sort of contrariness
That makes me guess
Always wrong, is little less
Than treason I
The reason
Men have lost faith iti me this
Season is because I

That I desist

Of almanacs

seen a sack of guano yet. It looks
strange, but perhaps the farmers
are coming to their senses. It
has been so for two years that the
renters could not pay their rent
and guano bills, with the price
that cotton was bringing. It
would be a blessed thing to this
country if another pound of com
mercial fertilizer was never sold.
The farmers would then spend
these wet winters saving home
made manure and compost.
