what can be learned a consid

fortunate that some people are thus a
ble to hold their cotton, but whether it
will prove a profitable venture or not
time alone can determine.
We do not claim to have all the la
test fabrics iu Dress Goods, but we
will show you some of them if you

Hollis & Hinton,
We doubt if there is a town in Geor
gia of the size of Summerville that has
better streets or sidewalks than is to
be found here. The condition in
which our thoroughfares both for ve
hicles and pedestrians, is kept is a
credit to our enterpising citizens, and
would do credit to a much larger town.

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
■ ical ills, which vanish before proper es-
I forts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—
i rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it js the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who’value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that.it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle. which is" manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
| other remedies are then not needed. If
j afflicted with any actual disease, one
■ may be commended to the most skillful
! physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
i one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere. Syrup of
i Kgs stands highest and is most largely
! v.sd and gives most general satisfaction.

Still greater bargains than e’er before,
Just only look, convince your mind,
That h'-re is what you need and more.
Tie people come and then do know,
For this is why I’m crowded so,

His goods are shoddy don’t you buy,—
But time has proved just why this
plea,
They want the trade, now don’t you
sec?

A Child Enjoys
The pleasant flavor, gentle ac
tion and soothing effects of Syrup
; of Figs, when in need of a laxative
and if the father or mother be cos
tive or bilious, the most gratifying
results follow its use; so that it is
the best family remedy known, and
every family should have a bottle
on hand.

Cleghorn and Roxie Harris as lead

Cleghorn and Mattie Wilson repre
