Rome. Ga., is shipping 2,000,-

Georgia ought to ship many
things to New England she buys

The Herald’s first statement
is incorrect. Rome is shipping

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processe?
known to the California Fig SyruP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As thr
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

According to the official re
port of Adjutant General Corbin
the number of officers and men
killed in battle up to October
3 last was 345. The deaths from
disease were 2565, or a total of
2910, out of a total force of 274,
717 men, scarcely one tenth of
whom had been called to engage
in active military service. The
adjutant general finds nothing
to criticise or condemn in the
organ’zation or personnel of the
stall d> partments ; in this, as in
other matters, he is at odds with
the dominant sentiment of the
American people.

If Georgia could win the bon
