NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING.
As the business season is fast
approaching we wish to say a
word to advertiser?—to the bus¬
iness men of Conyers. During
several years in the newspaper
business we have observed that
those who do the mo6t adver¬
tising are the ones who make
the most money. There are but
few exceptions. Where men do
model ately well without it. it is
evident they would have done
better with it.
Ten years ago a drug clerk on
small salary organized a firm
with $3,000 paid in. This year
the firm’s profits are $754),000
divided among the stockholders.
That clerk is now a New York
millionaire. He says, “Without
newspaper advertising I might
have made a living, but it Mas
advertising that made me lich.
Another firm began by $10,000
That firm s busi¬
ness has so increased that $1,
000,000 will be expended this
year for advertising. Dougher
t,y, cf Atlanta, was at one time
one of the most extensive ad¬
vertisers in the btate, but he
?topped advertising, and about
a year after he went out of the
newspapers he went out of bur-
iness. Scores of likoillustrations
could be given, showing the
great profits which come from
advertising*

WOMEN WHO SUFFER
With Any Form of Female Com¬

Dr. Hartman Says.
It would be impossible to pre¬

symptoms caused by these trou¬
bles, for their name is legion;
but prominent among them are
to be mentioned smai ting, throb¬
bing, scalding, beating, burning,
quivering, aching, trembling,
bloating, Hashes of heat, trem¬
ors or cold, prickly sensations,
sinking feelings, faintness,
numbness, indescribable punc
turing, piercing pains flying
from part to part with provok
mg uncertainty, mocking the
victim with momeutar v lelief,
to begin its tortures elsewhere.
No two cases are exactly alike
in number or severity of sytup
toms, some being only slightly
autu nod, others being actually
confineu to the bed.
III all of these perverted func¬
tions of the female organs take
a tablespoonful of Pe-ru-na be¬
fore each meal and between
meals, and enough Man-a lin at
bed time to keep the bowels con
tinually in a natural condition.
Vaginal injections of hot water
should he taken three times

Alter Hie remarks of Bro. B ichanan
Dr. Quigg followed, not having ti ne to
cake his lemarks lengthy, lie would,
however, stop long enough io place a
flower upon the bier. He had known
Judge Seamans many years; two char
ienristlcs stood out boldly in h’s life—
that of firmm ss and charily, both of
which go to make up a Irue manhood,
elements found always in the noble and
the great.
ltev. B. D. Ragsdale closed . In Bro.
Seamans lie found two other elements
of character, not mentioned before—
that of devotion to religious tenet 8 , and
humility of heart. lie believed in sal¬
vation by faith, and “tha’ not of your¬
selves,’’ He had often exhibited hu
militj, both in conduct, amt expression
from the lips.
The services, though somewhat
lengthy, were interesting and profltab’e
to the large audience in attendance, the
business houses having all been closed
that all might honor him who had lived
so long and so well in Conyers At the
conclusion the body was turned over to
the Masonic brethren, who took charge
and marched to the cemetery where the
burial ritual of that ancient order, pay¬
ing the last tribute to a deceased broth¬
er, was performed. Dust to dust, ashes the
to ashes, the sprig of the acasia,
funeral dirge, the Tilling of the grave,
and all was over. There he rests.
In concluding this article we wish to
ad t our tribute ffi his memory. We had
known him but a few months, and yet
we were at first impressed with his ur¬
bane manners, bis kindness and h's
smoothness of temper. Towards us he
always showed that politeness and kiud
□ess which can come only from a gen¬
erous heart and Christian gentleman.

Castoria.
“Castoria is an excellent medicine for chil¬
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its
good efieet upon their children.”
Dr. G. ,C. Osgood,
Lowell, Mass.
“ Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which \ am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the
real interest of their children, and use Castoria
instead of the various quack nostrums which
are destroying their loved ones, by forcing
opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other
hurtful agents down their throats, thereby
sending them to premature graves.”
