GONE! GONE!
Entirely Gone!
The year 1896 will never
again return, and with it
went the Banner year of
my Mercantile career. It
gave me the best Cash
trade I have had in twen =
ty years. Why?
Because I sold for cash;
discounted ail of my bills
and gave my friends and
patrons the advantages of
my discount, together
with my long experience
in buying. . .
The New Year finds me
at the same place, with a
nice, complete and well
selected Stock of General
Merchandise, including
everything usually sold in
a first-class Country
store.

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
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 simply 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 mil" ionsuf 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
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
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 largely
fsed and gives most general satisfaction.

High Grade Phosphate.
The following letter will be of
interest to farmers who are buying
fertilizers for the coming season :
Messrs Thompson Hiles & Co.
Summerville, Ga.
Gentlemen:—We had a lot of
Extra High Grade dissolved Bone
Phosphate made up during the
past season for mixing purposes,
with a guarantee of 16 to 18 per
cent available.
Our regular run of 13 to 15 per
cent being cheaper the trade has
run mostly on that grade and was
exhausting our stock. We are now
mixing the two grades together,
which will make an Acid goods
running from 15 to 17 per cent a
vailable. Our shipments from
now on will go to you from this
mixture, making the Highest
Grade Acid by far sold in this
trade.
Me do not get over about cost
for it, but will finish the season on
it without change of price to our
regular customers. You can talk
it truthfully as being worth about
$2.00 more than average grades of
Acid goods. Very Truly Yours,
G. Ober & Son.
