THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fio Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fio Svrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fio Svrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company —

PEACE COMMISSIONERS SAIL.
The United States commissioners to
conclude tlie terms of peace with
Spain sailed from New York last Sat
urday on board the Cunard line
steamer Campania, en route to Paris.
The commission consists of former
Secretary of State William H. Day,
United States Senators William P.
Frye, Cushman K. Davis and George
Gray and Whitejaw lleid.
Each commissioner is accompanied
on the trip by his wife or other mem
bers of the family. In the party also
are J. B. Moore, secretary and counsel
to the commission; John 11. MacArthur,
assistant secretary, and wife; Frank
Branagan, disbursing clerk, and Mrs.
Branugan; Miss Atkinson and Miss
McNaughton, stenographers, and Ed
ward Savoy and Henry Freeman, con
fidential messengers.
Prior to going on board the steamer
Judge Day said to the reporter: “We
had a conference with the cabinet be
fore leaving Washington, at least all
of us except Senator Gray. All un
derstand the wishes of the cabinet with
reference to the terms of the treaty,
and I believe that there will be practi
cally no change after our conference
with the Spanish commissioners.”
“Do you expect much opposition to j
tin*terms from the Spanish commis
sioners?”
“1 think that America’s terms will
be regarded as reasonable, and, there
fore, I believe the work of the com
mission will not he imjiededby useless
discussion.
Senator Frye would say nothing as
to the intention of the commissioners.
As to the commissioners going to
Paris with set duties and irrefragible
conditions to be placed before the Span
ish commissioners the senator said that
schoolboys might just as well be sent
it such were the case. lie declared that
nobody could tell what new conditions
might arise which should have to be
met, discussed and decided wholly by
the commission.

MIDDLE GEORGIA MILITARY
AND AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
Art and Miss Maud C. lown-
Vocal Music, send, of Greensboro,
Ga., recently elected
teacher of Art and Vocal Music, has
entered enthusiastically upon her work.
Miss Townsend lias been trained in
her line of teaching by the very best
instructors and she brings to the school
the highest testimonials as to her quali
fications. She taught successfully the
past year in Luray College, A a., and
coula have continued her work there,
but she preferred to teach in her native
state. Besides being a proficient
teacher of Art in its several forms Miss
Townsend is a teacher of vocal music
of rare ability. She has a very sweet
voice which she has spent yeais in
training. To all of her other advant
ages this accomplished young lady adds
a charming personality, and beautiful
manners which will soon make her a
favorite in the school and in the com
munity. The college is fortunate to
secure her services in the new depart
ment of art and vocal music.
Elocution and Delsarte Miss
Physical Culture. Louise
Lane,
of Atlanta, lias been elected teacher of
Elocution and Delsarte Physical Cul
ture in the College. Miss Lane lias
accepted, but she will not be able to
take up the work belore the first of
October. This is a department of
more than ordinary importance and it
is believed the teacher will start off
with a large class. Miss Lane was
elected over a number of applicants
for the place, all of them highly en
dorsed as teachers of superior merit.
President Reynolds will endeavor to
have the Elocution class formed by the
time Miss Lane reaches the city, so
that she can enter at once upon the
work. The two new departments of
Art and Elocution will add immeasur
ably to the efficiency and popularity of
the school.
Last Friday afternoon, soon after
the sounding of the fire alarm, Mr.
Burnett Harris and a young negro
boy collided with their bicycles. Both
were riding rapidly, and were thrown
vilently to the ground. Burnett was
knocked senseless, and it was sev
eral minutes before he was brought to
himself. He was considerably bruised,
but is out again. The negro boy was
not hurt very badly.
M iss Mary Thomas is prepared to
do Stenography and Typewriting, and
can be found at Misses Carrington’s

work during the vacation, and is a
splendid stenographer. She will give
prompt attention to all work. Any
orders given her will be highly appre
ciated and promptly executed.

lives a happy wife. She writes: “ I
have used Mother’s Friend heton
two confinements. The list time 1 haJ
twins, and was in labor only a few min
utes. Suffered very little.” The reason
why
Mother’s Friend
does expectant mothers so much
good is because it is an external liniment,
to be applied upon the outside, where
much of the strain comes. It helps be
cause the pores of the skin readily absorb
it, and it comes into direct contact with
and is absorbed by the parts involved.
Morning sickness is quickly banished,
and nervousness is kept completely away.
The sense of dread and foreboding is no!
experienced, even during labor itself.
Confinement is short and almost without
pain. Recovery is quick and sure. Best
of all, Mother’s Friend benefits the
unborn just as much as the expectant
mother, and when the little one comes i
will be strong, lusty and healthy.

I tell you, Smith, Barrett made a “ten stroke” wlien he eng
such a good, reliable country lellow, right out of Hancock co
for his weigher. You see John L. Harper is a country boy ai
farmers like to see our “Farmer Boys” looking after our bus
aud another thing, “Smith,” Barrett has got an eye for btfs
and his kind attention to his customers will bring him plen
trade. Come, “Smith,” let us go down with this load of cotto:
try him. His arrangements down there and the men he has
him kinder makes me want to give him a trial, and from what*
all say, when you once start with him you can’t feel right any
else. Well, “Jones,” you seem so “stuck” on Barrett’s wareho
believe I will go with you this time, and let you know the
later on. And by the way, do you take the Union Recorder?
Well I will tell you through that how I came out. Good bye
