LIHIE HEMS OMEORGIA CITIES
Dubin.—W. B. Lingo, who took 90
grains of bichloride of mercury with
suicidal intent is dead. For the first
several days after the dose had been
taken, it was thought that he would
recover, but he gradually grew worse
and died in agony. He was about 25
years of age and is survived by a
wife and three children.
Tifton. —Tift county has turned the
tables on prevailing custom in the
south and is selling hay instead of
buying. One wholesale grocery firm
in Tifton has sold and shipped eighty
tons of Ti t county hay this season,
besides what was sold for local con
sumption. The price averaged about
$22 a ton. Farmers selling it said it
" was the most profitable crop they
harvested last year.
Villa Rice. —During the past thirty
days 100 dogs have teen shipped
from this ^lace, going to all parts of
the United States. Ten cars of cattle
have also been shipped. The annual
sale of cotton brought too this place,
in round numbers, about 15,000 bales,
and the past year shows an increase
over the previous year.
Rome. —Railroads passing through
the city of Rome must equip their
street crossings with gates or other
protective ’devices according to an
ordinance passed by city council. On
several recent occasions collisions
between street cars and trains have
been narrowly averted, and these in
cidents led to the passage of the or
dinance.
Thomson.—The city council has
purchased a lot on Journal street and
will erect a two story modern brick
structure for a city hall. The court
room and mayor's office will be on
the second floor, the first floor to be
used by the fire department, with the
jail in the rear. For a number of
years c.:urt has been held in a room
in the Wilson building. The move
ment for a city hall was started when
the old wooden calaboose was burn
ed, a negro prisoner being accused of
firing it.
Americus. —Three hundred thous
and bearing peach trees in the Amei
icus territory have swelled buds and
are seemingly ready to burst into
b'oom as a result of the protracted
season of unusually warm weather.
Orchard men here declaare that an
other week of continued hot weather
would probably mean the destruction
of the pecan crop, which would un
doubtedly be caught by a February
blizzard. Sumter county peach or
chards are a valuable asset and own
ers aie uneasy.
Ashburn. —"We, the jury, find the
defendant guilty,” was the verdict re
turned by the twelve men who had
been chosen to decide the fate of
Miles Cribb, who was placed on trial
in Turner superior court, charged
with the murder of Mrs. Mary E. Han
cock, his mother-in-law, in the Re
becca district last November. Silence
pervaded the court room from the
time the bailiff In -charge of the pury
announced to the court that they
were ready to enter until the last
word of the sentence of death was
uttered by Judge Cox, fixing Tuesday,
March 3, 1913, as the date of execu
tion.
Brooklet. —That the newly elected
mayor and council of this rapidly
growing place intend carrying out the
intent of the ticket upon which they
were elected—"the progressive ticket,
for a greater Brooklet” —is evident,
judging from the permanent improve
ments now on foot. Tapped by two
railroads, Brooklet is growing fast.
Buildings are now going up in every
direction, and plans are on foot to
erect a number of storehouses. Her
streets are being clayed, and within
a few weeks her stores and resi
dences will be lighted with electrici
ty, this plant now nearing comple
tion. There is also a strong senti
ment for a newspaper in the town,
though this has been setled upon
yet.
Macon. —The whole town of Lizel
la. nine miles from Macon, including
200 residences, churches, schools, de- j
pots and the postoffice, will be levied
upon by Sheriff Hicks, of Bibb coun
ty, to satisfy a judgement secured on
a mortgage forty-two years ago. The
mortgage was given in 1872 on 300 ’
acres of land, but the man giving it
soon afterwards went into bank
ruptcy and reserved that particular
land as a homestead. Afterwards his
widow sold the land to various par
ties, but on account of her existence,
which gave her prior claim on the
homestead, the mortgage judgement
could not be executed. Recently she
died, and the heirs of the mortagee
at once began suit to enforce the old
judgement. Their claim was sustain
ed by Judge Matthews in the supe
rior court. The fact that there-was
a mortgage judgement pending
against the homestead was overlook
ed by lawyers examining tthe title,
and as a result scores of people pur
chased the property and established
the town of Lizella. These people
are now proportionately liable for the
amount of the judgement, which was
originally $2,188, but now amounts to
$9,C00 on account of the interest ac !
cruing since 1872.
BIG EATERS HAVE BAD
KIDNEYS AND BACKACHE
Take a Glass of Salts at Once If Your
Back Is Hurting or Kidneys and
Bladder Trouble You.
The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou
ble, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys
strive to filter out, they weaken from
overwork, become sluggish; the elimi
native tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine so
it no longer is a source of irritation,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot In
jure, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mistake by having a good kidney
flushing any time. —Adv.

Franklinton, La. —“About four years
