BYRC'S EYE VIEW
I was in Atlanta a few hours
yesterday, and while there went
with Dr. George Brown , Atlan
ta’s noted specialist, to see Capt.
J. B. Nevin.
»*»
I found Capt. Nevin in bed,
and, while he has “fallen oft”
to a mere shadow o’ his former I
self, he was rallying from a
painful though most skillful
operation, performed by Dr.
Brown on the day previous.
*
* *
With a gentle and loving wife
to nurse him and administer the
tonics and potions prescribed by
one of the most skilled medical
specialists in the country, and
with the delicate operation al
ready successfully performed
Capt. Nevin now has a right to
hope for recovery.
Dr. Brown stated to me that
the abcess in the ear had been
forming for the past twelve
months and that it had attained
alarmingly serious proportions
before Capt. Nevin has been
forced to yield to an examina
tion.
*♦*
Its my “private opinion pub
liclv expressed” that Dr. George
Brown “knows his business” and
hat business is the treatment of
the eye, ear, nose and throat.
my advice and go see him
if any of these delicate organs
looking after.
*
♦ ♦
As to Capt. Nevin, Dr. Brown
■ays the case has been made
more tedious, because of Capt.
Nevin’s anxiety to join his com
mand before it sails from Flori
da. This restlessness has been
harmful to the case but under
ihe peculiar circumstances was
not only natural but was un
avoidable.
* *
♦
i Dr. Brown, however, states
that the crisis has been success
fully passed and that in a fort
night or three weeks he believes
Capt. Nevin will be able to re
turn to his command in the Sec
ond Georgia.

I found, while in Atlanta,
quite a number of men talking
about the primary. Not the
“Candler primary,” but the ju
diciary primary booked for June
23rd. The people of Floyd don’t
seem to be taking much stock
in this primary. There will have
to be some old hustling to get
out, say a fourth of the voting
strength of the democracy of
Floyd—as per the recent primary
returns.

“You have a man in your
town who builds the best five
cent cigar I ever smoked.” The
speaker was a friend of mine
from South Georgia and he made
the remark to a crowd of us in
the Kimball house lobby. “1
know it,” I replied, “but how
did you make the discovery?”
* *
*
“Why, while in 'Cartersville
on business last Fri lay I bought
a ‘Bill Arp’ and liked it so well
I went back and bought a box I
then learned that it was a Rome
made weed—and that the Roman
had done his best on it, because
“Bill Arp” is an ex-Roman and
all Romans are proud of him
and love him.”|J

Money Raising Sale Will Run
This Week •
I
r *
‘ Watters & Son, the big Broad
street clothiers, know exactly
how to carry out any undertak
ing or enterprise in which they
engage.
This wide awake bustling firm
of up-to-date business men found,
some ten days ago that, owing
to a mild winter, business had
not been as good as it should
have been—and in consequence
they would soon be in need of
i r unds.
They had an enormous£stock,
but cash was needed worst and
so the firm very promptly decid-
I ed to lay the knife into prices
i and throw their stock on the
. market.
Last Sunday morning they
' 'announced a ,“Money Raising
Sale” and to show that they
! meant business they specified
goods and quoted prices.
’i lie result has been exactly
wh it the firm anticipated. Their
’tore has been crowded from
morning to night for six’days.
Ihe crowds have flocked in,
have examined goods and eager
ly purchased, for the people
know bargains when they see
(hem.
“Our sale for the past wet k
has been all we anticipated,”
said Mr. J. B. Watters yestei
day. “We are rapidly exchang
ing bargains for cash and while
we are raising the funds we
needed in our business, we are
at the same time clothing the
multitudes.
“Our advertisement in The
Hustler-C oinme” ci a 1 has
brought us rich returns, and you
can leave it stand, unchanged,
for another week. It states what
w r e are doing and that is all that
we want it to state.”
“We will continue the sale for
a few days longer and then will
promptly shut off' the slaugh
ter.”
A word to the wise is sufficient
—so look over the Watters &
Co., add and govern yourself by
what you see.
Now is the time to join the
push.
