A few days ago a theatrical agent was walking along the streets of an Ohio city when he saw in a window a picture of President-elect McKinley with this inscription printed beneath: “The advance of prosperity.” 1 The man of shows mused a moment ! and then remarked with an oath: “That’s the first time I ever saw an agent so far in advance of his show!” That same thought has occurred to others, who have been waiting in vain for the good times promised. Recently a tramp applied to a 1 ady living in the suburbs of Chattanooga, for something to eat. The lady insis , ted that Weary Waggles should saw some wood for the meal, to which he readily agreed. He told the lady, how ever, that he hadn’t had anything to eat for two days and was almost starv ed, and that he would certainly do the work if she would give him his dinner first. A bounteous meal was set out, and the lady went back in the house to look after household affairs. In a little time she bethought her of the tramp and his promise to saw the wood and went out to see whether he was at work or not. Instead of finding the man she found a note on the waiter which read: “Just tell ’em that you saw me but you didn’t see me saw!” What the good woman thought won’t do to publish. Gladness Comes With a better understanding of +he transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef forts —gentle efforts —pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but pimply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is 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 i 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. i If in the enjoyment of good health. ■ ' and the system is regular, laxatives or : other remedies are then not needed. If ; afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful i physicians, but if in need of a laxative, ; One should have the best, and with the . well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Kgs stands highest and is most Jargely ■ ' rsed and gives most general satisfaction.

Dover met with the mis fortune Monday morning about 8 o’clock of getting his left leg broken. The unfortunate accident was caused by his horse sassing down and catching Mr. Dover’s leg beneath his body. Both bones of the left leg were broken above the ankle. Dr. Jones set tffe wounded limb, and Mr. Dover was resting as well as could be expected when last heard from. In Olden Times People overlooked the importance of permanently beneficial effects and were satisfied with transient action; but now that it-is general ly known that Syrup of Figs will permanently cure habitual consti pation, well-informed people will not buy other laxatives, which act for a time, but finally injure the system. Mrs. Rudicil Dead. Mrs. Rudicil. wife of Dr. R. Y. Rudicil, died last Sunday evening | at 4 o’clock. She had been in bad health for quite a number of years, but until recently had been able to superintend her household affairs. She v.as 65 years of age. Mrs. Rudicil was a daughter of Capt- Samuel Knox, who came to this county from Jackson county, Ga., in 1836, and bought land in the Jamons Alpine valley. Since that time the descendents <>f Capt.; Knox have lived near the old ( homestead, and have figured very I largely in the history of county as s irs. Mrs. Rudicil was the youngest of | a family of thirteen children, all of whom lived to years of mature age, except one, who died when i young. One of the brothers was killed in the civil war, all of the others, it is believed, living to a good old age. Mr. John Knox, of Teloga, is the only survivor of the original family of thirteen, and he is now about 77 years old. The funeral service of the de ceased was conducted at the resi dence by Rev. Jesse Hunt, Rev. Mr. Milner being sick and unable to attend. A very large concourse of sympathising neighbors and ; friends were present to pay the last sad tribute of love and respect j to one who had for so many years i proven her worth as a neighbor, i friend and Christain. The inter-; i mont occurred at the Summerville : cemetery at 3 o’clock Monday eve ning. Judge and Mrs. W. M. Hen | ry, of Rome, and Dr. C. C. L. Ru-; , dicil, of Chickamauga, together with a large number of the friends and relatives of the family were ; piesent when the body of the de- ; ! ceased was committed to its final ' resting place.
