THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
v.s due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
2o the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Svrup
•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 Fig Syrup 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 Syrup 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-
ng them, and it does not gripe nor
•nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
•-effects, please remember the name of
•the Company —

ibject of the meeting, lie said that
he had called the meeting for the pur
pose of ascertaining the concensus of
ipinion of the citizens toward the city
purchasing and operating the Electric
l ight plant. The City Council had de
termined that they were paying too
much for the lights, and would not
renew the contract. The city laid
paid the Co. tin- past six years and a

The city now has 43 li*.
Ills
tor which
is paid $2
.SOO.IHI per
ari-
num. By
t lie cily
purchasing
t lie
plant, it could get .10 lights to burn all
light, without cost, as the income ivom
the incam^seent lights wou'd pay the
'•uniting expenses of ilie plant. lie
•shen showed from the hooks of tlie Co.
'• hat the income from the incandescent
light* whi $180,011 per month, whilo
all me running expenses, amounted to
inly $0<'O.OO giving a profit of $180.00
per month. If the city should pur-
•na-e the plant taxes could bercduced
25 per cent.
The question was discussed by
Messrs. Jno. T. Alien, .7, E. Wilsi n,
Adolph Joseph and Dr. J. Harris
Chappell.
The meeting then adjourned until
Tuesday, (to-night), at 8 o’clock.

The jury in the case of the state
against Tom Langlord, charged with
the murder of Sheriff Glynn, returned
a verdict of not guilty. Langford was
defended by Hon. Thomas E. Wat

was entirely circumstantial and not
strong enough to convict him. He
was a member of the famous Delk
gang of outlaws. He was alleged to
have been in Delk’s home at Concord
when the Sheriff 1 was killed.

A Conversation Between Two Farmers at the New
Post Office.
Two farmers, one from Wilkiuson county anti the other from
Hancock, met the other day in front of the new Post Once, and
the following conversation occurred: I declare “Jones,” this is a
big improvement, and Milledgeville should be proud of her Post
Master and new office and fixtures. Yes, “Smith," and I tell you
Milledgeville is on the up grade and don’t you forget it. Why
have you been down to see Barrett’s new offices at his warehouse?
It is really better than the Post Office, aud it is simply “out o
sight.” In the first place, it is so convenient for the Farmers; and
I tell you, Smith, Barrett made a “ten stroke” when lie engaged
such a good, reliable country fellow, right out of Hancock county
for his weigher. You see John L. Harper is a country boy and we
farmers like to see our “Farmer Boys" looking after our business;
and another thing, “Smith,” Barrett has got an eye for business,
and his kind attention to his customers will bring him plenty of
trade. Come, “Smith,” let us go down with this load of cotton and
try him. His arrangements down there and the men he has with
him kinder makes me want to give him a trial, and from what they
all say, when you once start with him you can’t feel right any where
else. Well,.“Jones,” you seem so “stuck” on Barrett’s warehouse I
believe I will go with you this time, and lot you know the result
later on. And by the way, do you take the Union Recorder? Yes.
Well I will tell you through that how I came out. Good bye, anil
be good to yourself and interest, and we will meet again at Barrett’s
Warehouse.
