you have no means of selling it. use it
in the house. Rubbing with paper is
a much nicer way of keeping tea ket

rubbing knives, tinware and spoons—
they shine like silver. Paper is much
better to put under a carpet than

The weather of last week was unus
ually hot—quite the hottest of this
season or of a number of seasons past.
In Atlanta the thermometer registered
aboat 104 degrees and a number of
persons were prostrated from heat,
several deaths resulting. At Mr.
Penn’s near town the thermometer
showed 99 degrees and Mr. Fenn says
this is the highest he has ever known
since his residence there. His house
is on an elevation and is quite as cool
and airy as any residence.
Poor Blood
is starved blood. It shows itself
in pale cheeks, white lips, weak
digestion, no appetite, exhaus
tion, lack of nerve force, soft
muscles, and, chief of all, weak
muscles. Your doctor calls it
Anaemia. He will tell you that
the weakening weather of sum
mer often brings it on.
Scotts
Emulsion
of Cod-liver Oil with Hypo
phosphites, will make poor blood
rich. It is a food for over-taxed
and weak digestion, so prepared
that it can easily be taken in
summer when Cod-liver Oil or
even ordinary foods might repel.

A Sudden Death.
Sunday morning at seven o’clock
Mr. E. O. Alexander died at his home
near Alpine. His death was rather sud
den and unexpected; he had been in
his usual good health until Saturday
when he appeared rather dull and
drowsy. This was attributed to the
heat, however. The doctor pronounc
ed it a case of heart failure, or in other
words, death from old age. Mr. Alex
ander was quite the oldest man in the
county being 95 years old. He has
been a prominent citizen of his section
and was active and vigorous up to the
last years of his long life. He was
one of the most efficient members of
the xllpine Presbyterian church and a
man respected and beloved by a large
ciicle of friends. The interment of
the remains took place Monday after
noon at the family burying ground.
A Card of Thanks.
In behalf of myself and family I
wish to express to my neighbors and
friends our sincere thanks and hcart
-1 felt gratitude for the kindness shown
1 during the protracted sickness and
death of my wife. May the
good Lord bless you all, and may we
, all meet where sickness and death are
unknown. A. A. Strange.
