success iu every sense of the word.
The house was taxed to its full capac

from the rise of the curtain until the
end of the last act. The characters
were well cast and the local hits good.
Our local talent was assisted by Mrs.
W. M. Hawes, Misses Bertio Scott,
Flcuda Morgan and Clyde Hall, of
Warrenton, all of whom showed special
mention for the correct interpretation
which their parts received.
Mrs. Hawes and Miss Hall were es
pecially good as Miss Vanhootenburg

Is Beauty Only Skin Deep ?
Beauty is only skin deep, but the forces
that create beauty are as deep as the foun
tain from which they flow, when the Blood
is charged with impurities Beuuty disap

How We Catch a Cold.
A cold is sometimes contracted while re
maining inactive for a while in an uneom
fortable room or a cold draft and by falling
to sleep under like conditions. But most
colds are caught while sleeping too cold at
night. Deep sleep causes sluggish clrcula
tion which renders the system siisccptahle
to change of temperature. To cure colds
use Rydales Elixir, it lessens the severity
and shortens the duration of a cold and
prevents Pneumonia, Bronchitis and Con
sumption. Gibson Drug Co.

Letter from Prominent Farmer and
Merchant iu Jefferson County, Geor
gia:
‘Mr. It. N. Bradshaw, Dear Sir:
You can publish anything you wish
over my signature as to merit, of Pil
cher’s Iudi-Tonic. I would have
been in my grave ere this if it had not
been for it. Confined to house over
four months. Improved rapidly by
taking 2 bottles. I am now able to su
perintend my farm and store. Send
me a dozen bottles at once. Cannot
say too much as to good results of the
Tonic, E. C. Avern, Noah, Ga.”

Our farmers should not lose sight of
the fact, that to raise their corn, pens,
wheat, oats, and other things needed
off tho farin' and make cotton as nearly
ns posable a surplus is the ouiy plan
that will bring independence to our
country.
A Good Tiling.
German Syrup is the special prescription
of Dr A. Boscheo, u celebrated German
Physician, and is acknowledged to he one
of the most fortunate discoveries in Medi
cine. It quickly cures Coughs, Colds and
all Lung troubles of tho severest nature,
removing, as it does, the causo of tho affec
tion and leaving the parts in a strong and
healthy condition. It is not an experi
mental medicine, but lias stood the test of
years, giving satisfaction in every case,
which its rapidly increasing sale every
season confirms. Two million bottles sold
annually. Bosclieo’s German Syrup was
introduced in the United States in 18(18
and is now sold in every town and village
in tho civilized world. Three doses will
relieve any ordinary cough. Price 25 and
75ots.G. G. Grekn.
The present advance in the price of
cotton, may induce the farmers to plant
largely of this staple next year. If they
should increase the acreage, it might
prove very detrimental to them.

the Stomach and organs of assimilation

Pure Pancreatin and other digestive agents.

Stomach Tablets, are a perfect stomach
medicine, they relieve at once and soon
cure the worst forms of stomach trouhlo.

The 18 cents cotton may be all right,
but the fellow that was forced to sell
nt 9 and 10 cenls at the opening of the

GOOD ADVICE.
The most miserable being in tho world
are those suffering from Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint. More than seventy.five
per cent, of tho people in the United States
are afflicted with these two diseases and
heir efforts: such as Sour Stomach, Sick
Headache, Habitual Costiveness, Palpita
tion of the Heart, Heart-hum, Water-
brash, Gnawing arid Burning Pains at the
Pit of the Stomach, Yellow Skin, Coated
Tongue and Disagreeable Taste in the
Mouth, Coming up of Food after Eating,
Low Spirits, etc. Go to your Druggist
and get a bottle of August Flower for 25
or 75 cents. Two eases will relievo you
G. G. Grken.
Mr. T. J. Eady, of Atlanta, claims
that he has discovered a formula which
will undoubtedly destroy the Mexican
boll weevil in the cotton plant. lie is
very anxious that the government
maxe a test of it and offers to furnish
the formula on the agreement that if
it does what he claims he is to receive
8100,000. If it fails he says he will not
ask one cent. Mr. Eady claims that
his formula will also keep insects off of
cabbage, grape vines, and all kinds of
fruit tiees. This stuff costs about as
much per ton as guano. It is put into
the ground with the seed like fertilizer,
and can be put under any apple,peach,
pear or any other tree when set out,
and is taken up by the tree, or plant,
and no hug, worm or insect will go
i near the tree or plant.
