Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civilized world. Your mothers and grandmothers never thought of usiug anything else for Indiges tion or Billiousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldsrn heard of Appendecitis, Nervous Prostration jor Heart Failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the ac tion of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with I headaches and other aches. You j only need a few doses of Green’s j August Flower, in liquid form, to; make you satisfied there is noth-; ing serious the matter with you. | Sample bottles at Bagwell Drug Store.

AN EPIDEMIC OF WHOOPING COUGH. Last winter during an epidemic of whooping cough my children contracted the disease, having se vere coughing spells. We had used Chamberlain’s Cough Reme dy very successfully for croup and naturally turned to it at that time and found it relieved the cough and effected a complete cure. — John E Clifford, Proprietor Nor wood House, Norwood, N. Y. This remedy is for sale by Bagwell Drug Co. Among the distinguished visit ors at the Confederate Reunion Admiral and Mrs. Dewey are ex pected and will be given a grand ovation by the Veterans. A Few of the Many Attraction! to Be Seen at the Fair and Carnival. VETERAN REUNION. One of the interesting features will be a reunion of the old vet erans of the Confederate army and the parade of the Boys who wore the Gray will be of much interest; some of the Confederate banners will be used in the pro cession and more Ilian one of the brave soldier boys will have on some piece of uniform that saw service 111 the war. This parade and soldiers’ day will be an occa sion long to be remembered. Prominent officers of the Confed erate army will deliver addresses through the day. children’s day. On this day there will be a pa rade that will be both novel and attractive. The parade will be headed by the children of the sev era! schools in the vicinity, under charge of their respective teachers, and oach school will carry a nice banner bearing the name of the school, the procession will be followed by a party of fun making boys in comic and fancy costumes. All children going in the parade will be admitted to the Fair free of charge. STAMPS OF ALT. NATIONS. To the scholar, an 4 in fact to all, both old and young, the col lection of postage stamps that will be on exhibition at the Fair and Carnival will be a sight of great interest, and one not seen outside of the largest cities of the world. The collection of stamps has been loaned to the Southern Carnival and Fair Association by a collec tor who has devoted years to the collection of postage stamps from every laud and clime; and this exhibit alone is worth the trouble to go many miles to see; it is a valuable history lesson for the young and an interesting sight to the old. PRECIOUS STONES While the United States does not produce diamonds in appre ciable quantities it does produce a fine line of other beautiful and precious siones, and it is worthy of note that most of these come from the South. At the great Fair and Carnival there will be exhibit ed a fine line of precious and semi precious stones, both cut and un cut. Stones as clear as daylight, and ranging in color from the palest pink or blue to the deepest black, some partaking of all the colors of the spectrum. A daz zling and beautiful display. THE SEED EXHIBIT. * Oue of the exhibits at the Fair and Carnival that will be of spe cial interest to the farmers will be the complete exhibit of seeds of all kinds of grass, grain and field crops. The exhibit will consist of more than a hundred distinct va rieties of seeds of all sizes, shapes and colors, from the brightest yel low to the darkest red, from snow white to jet black. At no fair has there been such a complete variety of agricultural and garden seeds exhibited as will be shown ou this occasion, and the exhibit will be worth a fiftv mile trip to see. TURNED TO STONE. Much has been said about in sects, animals and human beings turned to stone, and it is recorded that Lot’s Wife turned to a Pillar of Salt. The truth of a part of the state ment will be established by one of the exhibits at the fair. There will be shown an exhibition of in sects that have turned to stone, many varieties of snail, fish and insects. And in this exhibit will be shown pieceß of moss and nuts that have actually turned from their natural state into stone. This is a strange and wonder ful Bight, und some will no doubt deny the truthfulness of this state ment, and say, “Oh, these things have been cut from stone in the imitation of fish and insects,” but those who go to the Fair will be convinced that there is no ' decep tion in this exhibit. SEA SHELLS. No one going to the Fair and Carnival can miss seeing the shells of various colors, sizes and shapes. The display is one of the many in teresting feature* of the Fair, and it has been gotten together at a cost of many dollars and consid erable time s| nit in traveling to many sections of the globe to make the collection. For the use of this collection, we are indebted to a North Ctrolina gentleman, who has kindly loaned us his collection of shells to help out in advertising the resources and wouderful at tractions of our Southland. For the Legislature, Now, I have about decided to aim jhigh and see if I can't hit on n I scheme that there is something in as it begins to look as if we would have to draft some one to repre sent this county in the next legis ture, and for fear that no one would go, I thought I would go up and spend a part of the time du ring the session of the next gener al assembly, at least enough time to draw full pay. There is one thing I do know, I can get there if 1 can only get votes enough to elect me, and be sides, I don’t think there will bo any trouble about getting votes, when the good people see, hear and read my platform, which I am sure the voters will take to, like a duck takes to water. If they will send me, I guaran tee to look after my own interest as best I know how. And now comes the olatform: When I get up to the big lioubb, I will have a bill passed to abolish this infernal reveuue law, and that of course will abqlish all of these United Sts tes Courts, which will be a mighty big saving to the peo ple in the way of tax. It will, as you know, make tobacco and snuff cheap. Now. that clause of itself ought to be enough to elect even a sorry man. But the half haß not yet beon told. In lieu of said revenue law, I will have a first class distillery es tablished at every militia oourt ground m the state, presided over by the coustable of each district, and he will be required to manu facture nothing but the very best of goods. The expenses of this concern will be borne by each county of the Btato. 1 will also make it a penal offence for any man to sell a drop of liquor. It is all to be free, not to cost a man a cent. Now, I know that every man who has got brains enough to grease a cambric needle can see the wisdom of a law like thiß, for you all know that this thing cf buying whisky has wrecked and broke many a good home and man, but a scheme like this where a fol low cau get all he wants free of cost, would do away with poverty. There is another great amount of good to result from u law of this kind, It would knock this much perplexed prohibition question higher than moonshine. Another good law I’ll have fixed is to have a first class hospital erected at the county site of each county in the state. All the ex penses of the same to be paid by the county authorities, aDd every person that is convicted of any crime whatever is to be sent to this institution and to be properly cared for as long as they wish to remain, and when they leave to be furnished with a new suit of clothes and script to pay his way back home; and for the second offense, be is to have his washing, ironing and mending doue free of charge. Of course, an arrangement like this will do away with a vast amount of trouble in keeping up a chain gang. I think a man that can’t he elected on a thing like this would be mighty poor fodder, and only a few bundles in a hill. Sincerely yours, Ignoramus. ROBBED THE GRAVE. A startling incident, of wihch Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows 1 “1 was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, paiu continually in back aud sides, no appetite—gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. For tunate, a friend advised trying ‘Electric Bitters;’ and to my grout joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks and am now u well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim.” No one should fail to try them. Only 60 cts. guaranteed, at A. M. Winn & Son’s Drug Store. If we die today, the sun will shine as brightly, and the birds will sing as sweetly tomorrow. Business will not be suspended a moment, and the great mass will not bestow a thought upon our memories. “Is he dead?” will be the solemn inquiry of a few as they pass to their work. No one will mils us except our immediate connection, and laugh as merrily as when wo sat beside them. Thus we all, now active in life, pass away. Our children crowd close behind us, and they will soon be gone. In a few years not a liviug being can say “1 remember him.’’ We lived in another age, and did business with those who slumber in the tomb. Thus is life. How rapidly it passeth. KV Powder t Absolutely pure Makes the food more delicious and wholesome The Oglethorpe Monument. Every Georgian will be glad to see the proposition to erect a mon ument to Oglethorpe bear fruit. Gen. James Oglethorpe was not only the founder of this great state, but one of the benefactors of mankind. Though he fought the Turks, served in the wars of the great Marborough against Louis XIV, and led an expedition from Georgia against tho Span iards in Florida, his strength was less in his abilities as a soldier than iu his good sense and gener ous sentiments. Edmund Burke considered him ‘a more extraordinary person than he had ever read of,’ and John Wesley ‘blessed God that he was ever born.’ In Plnglund in those days the creditor could imprison at pleasure the helpless debtor, and often a man would be shut up many years for a trifling debt. Oglethorpe appealed to parlia ment and through his generous exertions “multitudes” were set at liberty “who but for him might have ended their lives in captivi ty.” Seme of these unfortunates Oglethorpe brought t" 1 Georgia, but observing that tho men trans planted fr< in debtors’ prisons were “ineffective,” though honest, he wisely offered inducements which “drew from Germany, from Switz erland and from the highlands of Scotlund moil of firmer texture of mind, better fitted to subdue the wilderness and bring forth its treasures.” And thus was the colony of Georgia started with good material as a basis. It is also greatly to Oglethorpe’s credit, showing him to have been wise as well us humane, that he opposed the introduction of slave ry into the colony. He declared that the instffution was contrary to the Scriptures, and he “foresaw that slavery must degrade the poor white laborer. ” Lurgely through Oglethorpe’s influence ouly indentured white servants were permitted to enter during a period of seven years. It is re corded, however, that Oglethorpe himself came into possession of a plantation and negroes, illustrat ing the tendoucy even with men of advanced ideas and generous sentiments to be influenced by their surroundings and the stand ards of others. Take him all in all, James Og lethorpe is well worthy of a mon ument erected by the citizens of the greit state which he foundod. —Macon Telegraph. The ancients believed that rheu matism was the work of a demon within a man, Any one who has had an attack of sciatic or inflam matory rheumatism will agree that the infliction is demoniac enough to warrant the belief. It has nev er claimed that Chamber lain’s Pain Balm would cast out demons, but it will cure rheuma tism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement. One application relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it af fords is alone worth many times its costs. For sale by Bagwell Drug Co. Here is the latest in rhyme, and it is wasted on the bracing air from Texas: “When dad has worn his trousers out, they pass to brother John, then mother trims them round about and William puts them on.
