THE EICELENCE 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. Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
*11 the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
.genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig 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* *
fobxta Fig Svrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
gitca 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

DEATH OF MR FRAriK B. MAPP.
The sudden death of Mr. Frank B.
Mapp, about 8 o’clock yesterday
morning, was a sad shock to our citi*
s-ens. He was well known and greatly
beloved by the entire community.
Yesterday morning he arose early
*nd proceeded to the dry goods store of
Mr. Adolph Joseph, where he lias been
* popular clerk (or many years. While
engaged in dusting some clothing, he
remarked to Mr. H. V. Sanford, in
exchanging morning salutations that
be felt “very badly.” A few minutes
later Mr. Sanford, who had gone to
another part of the store, heard him
fall, and rushed to his assistance.
Physicians were hastily summoned.
X)rs. Clarke anil Croley promptly re
sponded, but the dying man had passed
beyond human aid. Fatal apoplexy
had done its work. Hi.* remains were
♦arried to his home.
Mr. Frank B. Mapp is a native of
Hancock county, and received his edu
cation at Mt. Zion. He wus about 52
year? of age. Early in the sixties he
removi d with his mother’s faiaiiy to
this city, and in 1805 became a clerk in
the store of Mr. Adolph Joseph. In
1873 lie engaged in tin dry goods bus-
iness as a member ot the firm of Mapp
■A Sanford, which continued about 8
years. Alter which lie clerked for Mr.
P. J. Cline, and was for a year or two
the proprietor of the Milledgeville
Hotel. For the past 1<I or 12 years he
lia* been clerking for JMr. Joseph.
Mr. Mapp leaves a wife and two
slaughters, Mrs. C. I. Walker, of
Charleston, S. C., who is now here
■visiting her parents, and Miss Annie
Mapp, who is teaching in Walhalla,
€. C. He * leaves one brother, Dr.
J. L. Mapp, of Jackson, Gu.
Mr. Mapp was a warm-hearted, ge-
n’al, clever gentleman, and was
jreatly beloved by all who knew him.
For many years be was a leader in so
cial affairs of the city. For some
years past ill health lias interfered with
bis activity, but be was always cheer
ful and entertaining in conversation,
■and diligent and reliable in business.
His death causes heartfelt sadness
throughout the city.
The funeral services will take place
this afternoon, at 3 o’clock, from the
Episcopal church.
MIDDLE GEORGIA MILITARY
AND AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
Thk Girls The spelling con-
Beat tiie Boys, test of last Friday, in
which the girls stood up against the
boys, resulted in a victory for the girls.
But it was a victory won only after a
stubborn fight, and by a margin too
narrow to make it a ground for boast
ing. The boys battled bravely for
more than one hour promptly closing
up their ranks as one after another
daughty warrior went down under the
fuscilade ot words which seemed easy
but were really bard. They bad the
satisfaction, too, that as their own
ranks were depleted big gaps were
made in the ranks of the enemy. The
fight waxed hot ami furious as the
numbers ori each side became steadily
smaller, and when only a few remain
ed to face eacli other, lips tightened
with determination and excitement
grew intense. For a moment victory
wavered, as it uncertain upon which
banner to rest. But just then the lead
er of the boys fell alter a brief, but
tierce struggle with and
the issue so long in doubt, was splen
didly determined in favor of the girls.
The young heroines wore their honors
with becoming modesty and grace,
while the gallant warriors accepted
their defeat with composure. Aside
From the pleasurable diversion which
the contest furnished it gave great sat
isfaction to teachers, in that it revealed
many real good speHers among the
students of every class. Interest was
added to the session by the presence of
several visitors all of whom greatly en
joyed the exercises.

The Corps to President Reynolds
Visit Macon, and Major Marchant
expect to take the Ca
det Corps to Macon next Saturday to
see the great game of foot hall between
the Universities of North Carolina and
Georgia. Every cadet will wear the
Varsity colors and yell for the Geor
gia hoys. The game is exciting great
interest among college men and will
be witnessed by a great crowd of people
Two hundred enthusiastic supporters of
the red and black, it is said, will come
down from Athens on a special train to
encourage the University boys. The
Mercer students and the cadets will
swell the ranks of this university host
and cheer the champions on to victory.
Cheap rates for the excursion will be
secured and many people from this
city will doubtless go over with 'our
boys.
#
Practice Marches Major Marchant,
Fou THE Corps, the new com
mandant of the
cadet battalion is addressing himself
with energy and enthusiasm to perfect
ing the boys in drill. Under his guid
ing hand the battalion is fast getting
into good shape. The recruits have
all been straightened up and taught the
quick elastic step of the soldier. In
their new uniforms the battalion pre
sents a handsome soldierly appearance
on the daily drills and the weekly dress
parade. Last week Major Marchant
began the series ot practice marches
which he has tor some time had in
mind. Ilis plan is to begin with short
distances and gradually extend the
march as the bojs become hardened to
this form of exercise. On Thursday
the march was out on the Macon road
some three miles and back to the city,
with a twenty minutes rest before re
turning. The boys like the marches
exceedingly, and they bore the
strain like veterans. When the corps
has had some more practice Major
Marchant will likely march his com
mand as iar as Steven’s Pottery, some
Saturday and spend the day, returning
in the late afternoon.
Are You Weak I
Weakness manifests itself in the loss of
Ambition and aching hones. The blood is
watery; the tissues are wasting—the door is
being opened for disease. A bottle of Browns’
Iron Bitters taken in time will restore your
strength, soothe your nerves, muke your
blood rich and red. Do you more good
than an expensive special course of medicine.
Browns’ Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers.
There seems to be the belief on the
part of military men that there will
not be enough men in the First and
becond Georgia regiments desiring to
remain in service to make up one reg
iment. In this event, both regiments
will be mugtered out.
Nation’s Capitol Bail? Trade!
Washington, Nov. G.—An explo
sion and fire at 5:13 o’clock this after
noon wrecked the supreme court room
and the rooms immediately adjoining
it on the main floor of the capitol and
damage is enormous. The entire cen
tral eastern part ot the great marble
pile, from the main floor to the subter
ranean basement, is practically a mass
of ruins.
An Old Idea.
Every day strengthens the belief of emi
nent physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty-five years ago this theory was used
as a basis for the formula of Browns’ Iron
Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected
liy this famous old household remedy arc
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.
Browns' Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers.

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 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 Ppst 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 fellow, right out of Hancock county
for his weigher. Y ou see John L. Harper is a country boy and wo
farmers like to see onr “Farmer Boys” looking after our business;
and another thing, “Smith,” Barrett has got an eye for business,
and bis 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 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.
