A Letter From One
s
Private Citizens
Following is a letter we receiv
ed this week from Mr. R. E. Ed
wards. He asks two very import
ant questions in this letter:
Editor Sentinel:—
As a private citizen of Douglas
ville I wish to commend you most
heartily upon your stand against
the worthless dogs in our com
munity. Why is it so hard to get
the Mayor and Council to move?
Do they like dogs* better than the
priceless lives of women and help
less children? I made an effort
the first of this year to get some
action taken against dogs roam
ing at large on our streets, but
nothing came of it. More power
to you in your figiit on the dog
question. Yours very truly,
R. E. EDWARDS.

PEPT0-IHA1AN
KEEPS BLOOD PURE
Growing Children Need Plenty
of Red Cells in Blood
When the young body is grow
ing, children frequently experi
ence weakness. Girls and boys
sometimes play too hard and over
tax their systems. They become
pale, weak and sickly. They lose
their appetites, become languid,
and are not able to make progress
in their school work. “Growing
too fast” is often true. It is most
important to keep the blood of
growing girls and boys in a heal
thy state.
Pepto-Mangan keeps the blood
pure. The red cells in the blood
are increased. They carry life-
giving oxygen to all parts of the
body, and wholesome youthful
ness blooms again in clear com
plexions, bright eyes and buoyant
spirits. Sold both in liquid and
tablet form by druggists every
where. The name “Gude’s Pepto-
Mangan” is on the package. Ad
vertisement.
I have the best thing on
the market to make an au
tomobile look new. Kar-
shine will do it.

If was with a very great degree
of disappointment that we closed
our first attraction of the Lyceum
course for this season. Since that
number represented to us as the
“Cathredral Quartette” fell so far
short of making good or of appro-
mating what it had been repre
sented to us, we at once register
ed complaints at headquarters.
So eager is the president of the
Alkahast Lyceum to give perfect
satisfaction, such as we had in our
last year’s entire course that he
makes us this attractive and plaus
ible offer at a later date he will
send to us a splendid attraction,
making it free to all season ticket
holders, retaining tlje privilege of
collecting for himself all money
taken in at the doors. This comes
independent of other four attrac
tions we are yet entitled to for
the season.
God grant that the time isn’t
far distant when our town officers
may put a stop to the fearful in
roads that are being made upou
us in the shape of immoral shows
such as we have had encamped in
the town for as long as a week at
a time. No town ever fully re
covers from one of them.
I am yours, for the very best
for our fine boys and girls, men
tally, physically and spiritually.
Mrs. A. W. McLARTY,
Glim. Lyceum Committee.
Mrs- Floyd House entertained
the members of the D. I). Club on
Thursday of last week in a de
lightful manner.
The rooms were beautifully de
corated in chrysanthemums and
pot plants.
Instead of playing rook the
members sewed during tiie after
noon.
The hostess served a delicious
salad course.
Many people have eye de
fects of which they are un
conscious, and while they
suffer no inconvenience or
pain now, they should wear
glasses for the sake of fu
ture eyesight. Call in and
have your eyes examined by
our expert optometrist Vho
