THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS. >1 00 Per Year Is Advance. J. W, CAIN, Editor and Proprietor. EDNA CAIN, Associate Editor. Summerville, Ga., Dec 30, 1896 Entared at Summerville P. O. as a«< >s<l class matter. ANGLETON, TEXAS. Dear Editor:—l will try to write a few lines to my old county paper. When I find a copy of the News I feel like I had found an old Georgia friend. There is not a letter, ad, or anything in its bright columns that is left over. If any one wants tc appreciate his home paper just let him get off about 2,000 miles from home. I tl ink this is the garden spot of the world. Angleton is a new town, county site of Brazora coun ty. Angleton is 10 miles from the coast, 2 miles from Bastrop Biyou situated on the I. & G. N. railroad. The county is to build a new court house, commencing next month. There are thirty new houses going up and more to be built right a way. It has a groat future ; I lived in north Texas this year. It is a beautiful country, but land is too high; it runs from $35 tos6o per acre; you can get land in this county from $3 to $lO per acre, just as good as Grayson county land. This year it made from f to 2 bales per acre. I have just been down on Mr. Johnson’s farm ; he raises Sea island cotton and had 40 acres in this year and has done gathered 35 bales and sold it for 14 cents per pound. They are shipping strawberries every day. I had green English peas for dinner. Beautiful flowers are in full bloom; what a delicious country to live in where you can have fresh vegetables every day in the year. I believe land here will bring not less than S6O in eight years time. People from all points are coming to this country and it is strange to me why it has been neglected this long. This is a healthy country. They will have to kill somebody to start a grave yard. We have the sea breezes here and the doctors have all left to keep from starving to death ; they said there was enough salt in the sea breeze to keep off sickness. I took a pleasure trip to the beautiful city of Galveston last week, went out sailing on the deep; what grand scenery it was to me. I would like for some of the good people of north Georgia to come out here and get good homes while the land is cheap; if any out there wish to know any more snout the country write to me and I will take pleasure in giving them any information that I can. My post office is Angleton, Brazoria county, Texas, box no. 54. You will find enclosed SI.OO for which send me the Summerville News. T. H. Scogin. We know of but one community in the world where dyspepsia is practically unknown, and that is the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, N. Y. These good people have been studying the su 1 ~’v,t of diges tion for more than hundred years, and that they understand it pretty thoroughly, is evidenced by the foregoing fact. Their Diges tive Cordial is the safest and best remedy in cases of indigestion that we know of. A trial bottle can be had through your druggists for the trifling sum of 10 cents. The Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies the system with food al ready digested, and at the same time aids the digestion of other . foods. It will almost instantly relieve the ordinary symptoms of indigestion, apd no sufferer need be told what these are. Laxol is the best medicine for children. Doctors recommend it in place of Castor Oil. TELOGA, GA, A large amount of cord wood i and cross ties are being hauled to this place. The switch yard is completely blockaded so nothing mere can be put near the track. Messrs Henry and Lee Neal made a eusiness trip to Rome last week. Captain C. C. Ham, the popular drummer f or Trigg, Dobbs and Compai y, of Chattanooga, was here last week. A. M. Street of Summerville, was here last week on business. Master Dod McConnell went to Chattanooga last week on business. W. W. Hanson of Dry Valley, moved to his farm near here last week. Willie Layton went up the way to see his best girl Sunday. Our people did not seem to take any interest in the election here last Wednesday; only four votes was polled. J. W. Layton had cccasion to be away from home recently after the rest of the family had retired and while he was thought to be yet ab sent Mrs. Layton raised the alarm that burglars were trying to get in her room. Willie soon respond ed to her call and having no weap ons convenient, he was determined to drive the burglar away and grabbed a large heavy trunk and made for a window and found it to be his father who had returned and knowing Mrs. Layton was eas ily frightened decided to have some fun at her expense. Success to the News. Valley Girl. The whole story of the wonder ful cures by Hood’s Sarsaparilla is soon told. It makes the blood pure and nourishing. It cures scrofula, catarrh, rheumatism.

Thin, Pale Children One satisfaction in giving Scott's Emulsion to children is they never object to it. The fact is, they soon become fond cf it. Another satisfaction is because it will make them plump, and give them growth and prosperity. It should be given to all children who are too thin, or too pale. It does not make them over-fat, but plump. It strengthens the digestive organs and the nerves, and fur nishes material for rich blood. We have a book telling you more on the subject.

VIfONDERFUL are the cures by WW Hood's Sarsaparilla, and yet they are simple and natural. Hood’s Sarsa parilia makes PURE BLOOD. Sales With Hood’s Sarsapa- B£3SI g p rilla, “ Sales Talk,” and M €3 I show that this medi- “ 3st cine has enjoyed public confidence and patronage to a greater extent than accord ed any other proprietary medicine. This is simply because it possesses greater merit and produces greater cures than any other. It is net what we say, but what Hood’s Sarsaparilla does, that tells the story. All advertisements of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, like Hood’s Sarsaparilla it self, are honest. W T e have never deceived the public, and this with its superlative medicinal merit, is why the people have abiding confidence in it, and buy Hood’s Sarsaparilla Almost to the exclusion of all others. Try it. Prepared only by C. I. Hood & Co.. Lowell, Mass. , , ~ are the only pills to tike itOOG S PlliS with Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Grand Jury For January Term 1897. W. P Ramsay, A D Lumpkin, J. P.
