HE EICEIENCE OF SYEUP 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 scieiflXfic processes
known to the California. Fio 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 lhanufactured
by the California Fio Sybup 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 Calx-
roRXiA 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
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—

THANKSGIVING DAY SET.
President Fixes Nov. 24 as "the
Day for Rejoicing.
He Tells of the Bountitul Crops, In
creased Trade, Strengthened Credit
and Our Glorious Victory as Causes
for Giving Thanks.
Washington, Oct. 28.—The presi
dent, after the cabinet meeting today,
issuid the following thanksgiving pro-
clamaton:
“By the President of the l nited
btatcs A proclamation: The ap
proaching November brings to mind
the custom of our ancestors, hallowed
by time and rooted in our traditions, of
giving thanks to Almighty God (or all
the blessings he has vouchsafed to us
during the past year.
“Few years in our history have af
forded such cause for thanksgiving as
this. We have been blessed by abund
ant harvests, our trade and commerce
l-.ave been wonderfully increased, our
public credit has been improved and
strengthened, all sections of our cem-
roon country have been brought togeth
er and knitted into closer bonds of na
tional purpose and unity.
“The skies have been for a time
darkened by the cloud of war, hut as
we were compelled to take up the sword
in the cause of humanity, we are per
mitted to rejoice that the conflict has
bevn of brief duration and the losses we
have had to mourn, though grievous
and important, have been so few, con
sidering the great results accomplished,
. as to inspire us with gratitude and
praise to the Lord of hosts. We may
laud and magnify llis holy name that
the cessation of hostilities came so soon
as to spare both sides the countless sor
row- and disasters that attend pro
tracted war.
“I do. therefore, invite all my fellow
citizens, as well as those at home, those
who may be tft sea or sojourning in
foreign lands, to set apart and observe
Thursday, the 24tli day of November,
as a day of national thanksgiving, to
come together in their several places ol
worship, for a service of praise and
thanks to Almighty God for all the
blessings of the year; for the mildness
of the seasons and the fruitfulness of the
soil, for the continued pros|>erity of the
M. O. n. ft A. COLLEGE.
On Friday, the 21st inst., the regular
order of society work was varied by a
spelling contest. The Senior Class
contested with the three other college
classes. Under the rules as adopted,
the side missing the fewer number of
words was to be declared winner. This
rule was adopted for the obvious reason
that the number of students in the
Junior, Sophomore and Freshman
Classes greatly exceeded the number
in the Senior Class. According to this
rule the Seniors were victorious, al
though the other side claimed the hon
ors because a number of them were still
standing when the la«t Senior went
down. The contest was evidently en
joyed by all; so much so, in fact, that
another contest was appointed to take
place two weeks hence. In this con
test the boys will be arrayed against
the girls.

The Senior Class has just completed
the study of Shakspere’s “As You Like
It.” 1‘rof. Reynolds was highly pleas
ed with the work of the class, and de
termined to have the play read, in
character, at the’ last society meeting.
The reading was pronounced a great
success; all the participants seemed to
thoroughly understand, and enter into
the spirit of the play.

President and Mrs. Reynolds on
Friday evening entertained the Senior
Class. As is always the case when
Mr. Reynolds is present, everyone
greatly enjoyed the evening. The
vocal music of Miss Shivers and Mr.
Rhodes added much to the enjoyment
of the occasion.
A large number of trees were plant
ed on the campus last fall, but for some
reason the planting was not altogether
successful. The President has deter
mined to make another effort this fall
Each class will be asked to plant one
tree. In addition to the class trees
every mercantile bouse in the city will
be called on for a tree. —99.

WOMEN IN TROUBLE.
The Approach of Motherhood in tbs
Occasion of Much Anxiety to All.
Every woman dreads the ordeal
through which she must pass in becom
ing a mother. The pain and sugerina
which is in store for ner is a source ol
constant anxiety, fear and dread, to
say nothing of the danger which the
coming incident entails. The Joyous
anticipations with which she looks for
ward to baby’s coming gives way to an
indescribable dread of the ordeal when
she fully realizes the critical and tryinfl
event which will soon approach and
have to be endured.
Women should hail with delight a
remftly which insures to them im
munity from the pain, suffering and
danger incidental to child-bearing.
Such a remedy is now-■ offered-,
women need not fear longer the hour Of
childbirth. “Mother's Friend”—is a
scientific liniment—and if used before
confinement, gently and surely prepares
the body for the great requirements
and changes it is undergoing, insures
safety to both mother and child, and
takes her through the event with com-
S tive ease and comfort. This won-
ul remedy is praised by every
woman who has used it.
What woman is not interested in
“Mother’s Friend?” This wonderful
remedy has been tested and its price
less value proven by the experience ol
thousands of happy mothers who
havfe used it during the most critical
period of woman’s life—the approach
and culmination of motherhood.

Lirbariks for The grade teach-
the Grades, ers and President
Reynolds are planing to procure a
small library for each ot the grades.
This is recognized as one of the most
urgently needed improvements for the
school. The children crave more than
they ean get Irom the text-books.
With a choice selection of books in
each grade many girls and boys would
acquire a taste for reading, which
would result in great mental improve
ment. Nothing is lacking but the
money, and the teachers are puzzling
their brains oyer the best plans for rais
ing the money. Books are so cheap
that it seems a pity these children must
be denied the pleasure and the benefit
which a small library in each grade
afford.

successfully practiced here some years

Tie New Art The walls of the art
Department, room are fast being
covered with the
work of the class. The easels each
with its study attached, the casts, the
cubes, cylinders, spheres, etc, besides
an array of natural objects, with no
end of art materials give a decidedly
business air to the room. Miss Town
send is an enthusiastic teacher and has
imbued her pupils with her spirit. This
is bound to prove one of the most in
teresting and successful departments ef
the school. Instruction in art is given
daily to each ot the six grades, Miss
Townsend going to the several rooms
for that purpose. Patrons are cordial
ly invited to visit the grade rooms and
art rooms and inspect the children’s
work in drawing and other forms of
art. All rooms, indeed, are open to
visitors. President Reynolds urges
the people of the city to come often to
the college and see for themselves how
their school is conducted.

A Conversation Between Two Farmers at the New
Post Office.
Two farmers, one from Wilkinson county and the other from
Hancock, met the other day in front of the new Post Office, and
the following conyersatiou 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 yotr
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, and it is simply “out of
sight.” In the first place, it is so convenient for the Farmers; and
I tell you, Smith, Barrett made a “ten stroke” when he engaged
such a good, reliable country lellow, 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 ootton 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 let 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, and
be good to yourself and interest, and we will meet again at Barrett’s
Warehouse.
