Twenty Five Years’ Constant Use Without. Failure. The first indication of croup is hoarseness, and in a child subject to that disease it may be taken as a sure sign of the approach of an at- tack. Following this hoarseness, is a peculiar rough cough. If Cham¬ berlain’s Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child becomes boaise, or even after the croupy cough ap¬ pears, it will prevent the attack. It is used in many thousands of homes in this broad land and never disap¬ points the anxious mothers. We have yet to learn of a single instance in which it has not proved effectual. No other preparation can show such a record—twenty-five years’ con- stant use without a failure. For sale by I)r. G. H. Macon & Do. Some folks say they have small pox in Ocilla, but Brother Hanlon, of the Ocilla Dispatch, gently alludes to it as the “breaking out.” This definition doubtless makes it lighter on the sufferers. — Cuthbert Leader. The disease has been in this section at least since last April, in a light form, killing no one, and we, as well as a number of physicians, could not believe that it was small pox; hut the government expert says it is, and that settles it.

DECOYING HANDS TO FLORIDA. A Summary Example Made of a Young Man in Irwin Last Week. For the past year, and especially this season, there lias been a heavy movement of turpentine operators from south Georgia to Florida,where new farms are being opened up at the rate of half a million boxes a month. Those Florida operators, finding it cheaper to send to south Georgia for colored laboiers than to North Carolina,have representatives all through this section, who have been carrying off the hands by droves. As this worked a considerable hardship on the operators through this section, they being obliged to send to North Carolina for hands to replace those decoyed off, they have organized for mutual protection and with the purpose of making it warm for anyone caught en flagrante der liotu. The first victim of this organiza¬ tion, or the first man to be made an example of, was Mr. D. F. Bass, a young man representing the Gulf Naval Stores Company, who was caught in the act of enticing hands from the turpentine farm of Mr. Ben Drew near Mystic, in Irwin county, last Friday and placed under arrest, lie had no sooner given bond for this offense than he was arrested on a similar charge at the instance of another turpentine operator. Being unable to furnish bail on Bhort no¬ tice he, was compelled to spend the night in Irwinville jail, until his employers could be communicated with. Next morning, by wire, they furnished him bail in the sum of 81,000 for his appearance at the next term of Irwin county court, when the case against him will be vigor¬ ously prosecuted, as well as against all others caught doing likewise. — Tifton Gazette.

I can now eat anything and have a new lease on life.” Only 50 cents at Dr. G. H. Macon & Co.’s drug store. There has been a world of talk and two or three worlds of scare over the breaking out in and near Ocilla, but the scare has been caused entirely by anticipation, for so far no one has died with the disease. The town and county authorities are working together to stamp the disease out of the whole county, and this will be done in a few weeks. There will be no more walking din- tributors of the disease, and those who have j t w jji be properly cared fo. a. public it they not able to be quarantined at home. Iwterestlng Prison Statistics. To every true citizen, the statis¬ tical report of tbw state prison com¬ mission is full of food for serious thought. There are under the charge of the commission 2,20] convicts, 27 less than last year. Of these, 438 are serving life sentances, 348 ten year and 314 five year terms, the rest be¬ ing divided along various terms, from one to forty years. The ages of the prisoners range from 11 to 73 years, two of the former and one of the latter, The age of 24 is the favorite one, 147 giving that figure. Of the crimes, burglary leads, with 696; 230 are serving terms for attempt at murder and 201 for manslaughter. Of the trades, laborers lead with 906 prisoneas furnished, and the farmers a close second with 816. Brokers, artists, contractors, tan¬ ners, tinners, policemen and journ¬ alist furnish only one each. Of the convicts, 997 are married, 1,294 single, furnishing an eloquent lesson on the refining influence of the home and the married state. Most noticeable of all is the elo¬ quent plea these dum figures set up for a higher and better education. Despite the fact that less than twen¬ ty-five per cent, of the people of the state are illiterate, that illiterate per centage furnishes one half of the in¬ mate of the state penitentiary. The exact figures are as follows: Prisoners that can read and write, 871; prisoners that can read only, 250; wholly illiterate, 1,080. All convicts under fifteen, all fe¬ males and infirm are cared for on the state’s prison farm near Milledge- ville. The labor of the able-bodied men is leased, under state control, care and supervision. The state is indebted to the prison commission for its able handling of the state’s convicts, as well as the careful compilation of these statis- tics.—Tifton Gazette. As a cure for rheuma'ism Cham¬ berlain’s Pain Balm is gaining a wide reputation. D. B. Johnson, of Richmond, Ind., has been troubled with that ailment since 1862. In speaking of it he says: “I never found anything that would relieve me until I used Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. It acts like magic with me. My foot was swollen and paining me verv much, but one good appli- j cation of fain Balm relieved me. For sale by Dr. G. ti. Macon & Co. i Three Papers a Week ———-- FOR ABOUT Xt|^ PRICE OF 0/\E.
