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 Beware of Imitations I | ft # h XSHN DUNCAN'S SONS, ACFWTS, NFW VOSK.

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.
