dressed completely from head to foot ■
*n clothing made here, will form one
of the features of the exhibition of At
lanta-made goods which is to be held ■
at the Auditorium-Armory during Au
gust.
The object of the exhibition is to ;
show how many things are really made ■
by local manufacturers, and the man
ufacturers believe that in no more con
crete form can the diversity of clothing
produced here be shown than by hav
ing the young women in charge of
many of the booths garbed in waists,
skirts, coats, shoes, stockingsand other
garments put forth by Atlanta firms
and Atlanta workmen.
During one day of the show, and
possibly more, a number of prominent
men and women will be asked to appear ,
on the stage of the Auditorium dressed .
in the products of Atlanta’s factories.
Every manufacturer in Atlanta is 1
asked to be one of the exhibitors and 11
will be furnished with all information |
on request. Telephone messages or I

the amount of ten per cent of the cost
of their floor space, and they are at
liberty to give . hese to their employees ■
or their customers. The price of ad
mission will be a very nominal sum l
and this, with the amount charged for I
floor space, will pay the actual expenses I
of the exhibition. ;

FIRE CAUSES LOSS OF
$60,000 TO BIG STORES
IN THOMASTON, GA. i
*- THOMASTON, GA.. May 25.—Fire
that raged for three hours, with no
water with which to fight it, did Sfih.OhO
damage in the business part of this ■ |
town yesterday. It started in the I
grocery room of the .Tories-Adams- I
Johnson’s Company’s store on Center ' j
street. This company lost $30,000, with |
$12,000 insurance. The Rexall drug i
store, owned by Dr. A. W. Daniel, lost 1
SIB,OOO. The R. A. Mathews store house,
owned by the Mathews estate, was I
burned, entailing a SIO,OOO loss. The .
Weaver Merchandise Company andj.
others suffered $2,000 smoke and heat I
damage. A water system is now un- I
der construction here, but has not pro
gressed far enough to give service, even
in the business district.
Escapes An Awful Fate.
A thousand tongues could not ex
press the gratitude of Mrs. J. E. Cox. of
Joliet, 111., for her w.onderful deliver
ance from an awful fate. "Typhoid
pneumonia had left me with a dreadful
cough.’’ she writes. “Sometimes I had
such awful coughing spells I thought I
would die. I could get no help from
doctor’s treatment or other medicines
till I used Dr. King's New Discovery.
Biit I owe my life to this wonderful
remedy, for I scarcely cough at all
now." Quick and safe, it’s the most
reliable of all throat and lung medi
cines. Every bottle guaranteed. 50c
and SI.OO. Trial bottle free at all drug
gists. ’**
There never was a time when people
appreciated the real merits of Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy more than
now. This is shown by the increase
in sales and voluntary testimonials
from persons who have bean cured by
it. If you or your children are troubled I
with a cough or cold, give it a trial and
1 become acquainted with its good quail- j
ties. For sale by all dealers. |
