You have probably heard dozens of times the old story that a drug store was a place to "get some thing just as good ” There is at leas’ one druggist in the world that you can’t say this about. It is certain that an inferior ar ticle will never be substituted for a guaranteed one by any dealer. Take for instance a safe, reliable remedy for constipation and liver trouble like Dodson's Liver Tone. This harmless vegetable liquid has j proved so satisfactory a liver stim- t, ulant and reliever of biliousness, and to entirely take the place of calomel without any danger or re striction of habits or diet, that there are dozens of preparations springing up with imitations of its claims. But Dodson’s Liver Tone Is guaranteed to do all that is claimed for it, and if you are not satisfied with it your druggist will hand your money back with a smile. Any person going to a drug store for a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone wifi be sure of getting a large hot- j tie of this genuine remedy in ex- j change for his half dollar. TWO M City Lawmakers Go After Record in Overriding Wishes of Mayor Woodward. Members of Council at the meeting Monday afternoo will attempt >o override two vetoes of Mayor Wood ward. These will be their thirty-thU'd and thirty-fourth efforts and they will set a record. During the former years of the Mayor’s service his disapproval of oouncllmanic action was annulled 22 times by two-thirds votes of Coun cil. The first matter to come up will he the question of consolidating the as sessing and receivin'’ departments »f the tax office. The Council resolution seeks to place Receiver Beauchamp under the Assessors. Mayor Wood ward has the Receiver’s side with the statement: "About the only reason that I can see for consolidating these offices again is simply for the purpose of po litical patronage, a question that should not enter into this matter when the efficiency and the good of the city are taken into consideration.” Alderman James R Nutting, author of the resolution, declares that the di vided system has proved a failure, and blames it for the loss of almost $50,000 in revenue. The other veto of the Mayor is on the resolution appropriating $5 for an option on the $100,000 electric plant feature of the new crematory Mayor Woodward declares the whole propo sition was knocked out by the Su preme Court and that he will not sign any check throwing away $5 of the city’s money. Alderman Nutting. Councilman Al bert Thomson and others charge the Mayor’s opposition is due to the fact that he is tied up with the Georgia Railway and Power Company inter ests.

JERRY MOLES. TRUSTEE’S SALE ACCOUNTS OF S. M. Truitt & Son, about $4,000; also one Dalton adding machine. Sale at office of lion. Percy H. Adams, Referee, at 12 o’clock noon, July 23, 1913. E. D. THOMAS. Trustee. Loses Her Best Loved Playmate When Lad and His Inseparable Chum Drown. Sorrow, using death as its weapon, struck twice to the heart of 14-year- old Mary Chastine Sunday*, and in so doing cast a shadow over the entire vicinity of her home at No. 33 Hum phries street, for she was its sun shine. In the double stroke the lives of both the mother of the girl, Mrs. Arie Chastine, and her best-loved play mate, Jerry Moles, 15 years old, who lived across the street, were snuffed out, the former after an operation and the boy from drowning in the Chat tahoochee River. And, as if not satisfied, the Reaper added a third to his toll from the neighborhood in taking the life of Casey Daniels, No 71 Hightower street, 15 years old, also a friend of Mary, who drowned with Jerry. Inquest Into Death Called. An inquest into the dejith of the boys was called by the Coroner The two boys went fishing Satur day afternoon in the Chattahoochee River at the end of the Marietta road. As Casey Daniels was leaving home his mother warned him not to ven ture in the water. “Please don’t go to the river.’’ said Mrs. Daniels to her son. “Go to some creek and fish like good boys. I am so afraid something will hap pen and that you both will drown.” Bodies Caught on Fishline. When the boys did not return at nightfall their parents became alarm ed and a party with lanterns search ed the river hank. Sunday the search was renewed by about 100 persons. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon O. W. Smith, of No. 527 West North avenue, located a fishing line hung across the river. He climbed out of the boat in which he sat and found a ghastly burden caught in the hooks below. The depth of the water at this point is about fifteen feet. The bodies of the two boys were lying on the river bottom with their arms entwined. They were clad only in undershirt and trousers. The remainder of their apparel was found later under bushes at the opposite side of the stream. Both Poor Swimmers. N. L. Moles, father of Jerry, thinks both boys were in bathing, that one of them got beyond his depth, and that the o’her boy tried to rescue his friend. Both were poor s'.Gtruners. Casey Daniels was a meml/r of the Junior Order of Mechanics. He is sur vived by four brothers and four sis ters. All of the sisters and two of the brothers are married. They are M. L. Daniels, of No. 82 Stewart avenue; William R., of Los Angeles. CaL; Mrs. Timms, of East Point; DEATH ROBS GIRL OF MOTHER AND BOY’PAL’ PROTEST DELAY 01 STREETS Citizens Will Demand That Pav- t ing Provided for Seven Months 1 Ago Be Done at Once. With almost seven months of the year gone and no street work done in Ansley Park, members of the Ansley Park Association, made up of resi dents and property owners of that section, are planning to make a pro test to the City Council. Many of the streets in that section practically are impassable. Though the avenues are lined with beautiful homes surrounded by well-kept lawns, the streets are cut Into ruts and holes worse than any country roads. Neither the city nor the country has done any work to speak of in Ans ley Park since 1t was incorporated. As an aid toward a solution of the problem, The Georgian hap made an investigation of the conditions from the city officials’ viewpoint. Owners to Pay Two-Thirds. When the January budget was made up $19,931.25 was provided for repaving Peachtree circle from Fif teenth street to Prado, the property owners to pay $13,287.50 of the amount and the city to pay $6,643.75 From the streets ordinary fund the Eighth Ward got $5,950, from the rock and chert fund $2,150 and from the chert repair fund $600. From this appropriation only one block of street has been paved, Lom bardy street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. Not even a pick has been stuck in any other part of the park, and there have been seven months of the finest working weather the city '’onstruction department has ever known, Although the property owners are to pay two-thirds of the cost of the paving of Peachtree circle they have been tabooed on this street for more than a year. Nothing Done on S. Prado. While the residents have borne the condition with the patience of Job they declare they will not remain quiet any longer. From the general fund $4,769 has been set aside for paving South Prado from Piedmont avenue to Prado. This is a favorite drive for autoists. It winds around with the beauty of a mountain pass. Attrac tive homes are built up along it. But it is worn full of deep holes and ridges, and though th*» money for its repair has been available since the first of the year no contract has been let—not even have bids been asked for. The general funds are supposed to provide for repairs of streets. Re pairs have been unknown to Ansley Park. Chairman Orville H. Hall, of the Council Streets Committee, said Monday morning that the reason for this condition was that the city forces had been engaged in other sections. Beaten by “Wire Pulling.” His statement would indicate that the Eighth Ward representatives had been completely outdone in the “wire pulling” contest that goes on between Councilmen over street work. W. A. Hansel. Assistant Chief of Construction, said the contract had been let for "dolarway” paving on Peachtree circle, but that the contrac tor also was repaving Central avenue, and that he would have to finish that before going to Peachtree circle. He said he expected Central avenue to be finished in about ten days. As to South Prado, he said a new process of bitulithic macadam would be tried there, but that they were waiting to see how the same sort of paving laid on Gordon street turned out before putting it down on South Prado. Members of the Ansley Park Asso ciation are dissatisfied. They can not understand why they have not had some street work done this year. THE PLAYS THIS WEEK] Good Forsyth Bill. John F.
