M&con Negro Church Gets
Body of Dead Preacher.
Mecon, Ga.. Feb. 22.—Yesterday aft
ernoon the colored congregation at Pine
Drove Baptlet church claimed the
corpse of their psator In one of the
most largely attended and one of the
most remarkable funerals ever held In
the community.
Rev. J. W. Williams was the man
over whose remains the obsequies were
held. He had quit n congregation IS
miles south of the city more thnn twd
months ago and was there on a' Sunday
to wind up with his charge. He
preached to a fine crowd and went
home with one of the brethren to dine.
Within two hours afterwards he was
; dead. Acute Indigestion probably end-
; ed his life.
In Macon, however. It was believed
. that the country brethren had decided
; to end hie life rather than to give him
, up. The minister's wife here hnd e
, grave waiting, but the congregation at
his old church had the body hurled
there. After long preliminaries, the
congregation here finally succeeded In
The Stomach
of the Child
Is The Organ All Parents Should
Protect and Keep Normal.
, The stomach of a child la the organ
above all others upon which the future
of a child depends. Bodily develop
ment Is fast In chUdren, and the nour-
. Ishment necessary to meet auch devel
opment la the one essential demanded
from a parent. Most mothers and
fathers Jealously guard a child from
the formation of bad habits, yet In this
age our children early become the vic
tim* of wrong food, over eating and
Irregular meals.
It la most appalling to know the ef
fect of stomach troubles among our
children.
Most children who are nervous. Ir
ritable and cross, who dream, sleep
reetleasly, who tire easily hnd have no
desire for child exercise, generally have
stomach trouble. Indigestion and dys
pepsia.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are In
tended to thoroughly digest food and
to place the system In shape to obtain
all the nourishment It needs from such
food.
These tablets mix with the juices of
the system, enriching them and giving
to the body ihe Ingredients necessary
to bulkl up the rapidly forming brain
and body of the young.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet* should ho
given t* children after each meal and
at bed time. They are made from pur*
vegetable and fruit essence, and con
tain no harmful chemical, whatever.
The use of these tablets will give
greater vtm to a child In It* school
work or at Ita play. They will pro
duce appetite and soothe nerve*, de
stroy abnormal cravings and will al
lay Ih* bad effect* of sweets and auch
Improper foods as most children enjoy
and will eat no matter what I* done to
prevent It.
It Is due the child that his stomach
be protected by the parent, and If
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are given
after meals, the habits of the child will
not tear down the stomach and destroy
the digestive Juki-* nearly so rapidly,

Tounty commissioners hiring out female

private families, or In other places,

The court ordered that all female

today, be required to serve sentence In

hired out to others than the aunei

An Ideal Fleet.
It was an Ideal fleet as it started out from
Hampton Hoad*. It is altogether likely that
more careful attention was given to putting
each vessel Into the best possible condition
that might have been, done prior to the vegu-
lar southern winter cruise to Cuban waters,
but at that the report of Admiral Evaoa,
baaed on reports of the admirals and cap
tains of hia fleet, waa moat surprising whrn
he aaid that every ship arrived at Magda
lena. Bay, Mexico, after tha first 13.000 mile*
even in better fighting condition than-when
it left the Atlantic coaat.
Thia was borne out to tbe satisfaction of
all by tbe marvelous work of the big guns
in the spring target practice when the beat
previous records of 'the American and all
other navies were safely eclipsed. Altho all
of the battleship* are docked twice each
year, the regnlar docking on the Pacific coaat
after that cruise showed a smaller average
of necessary work In minor repairs than
usual.
