The Whole Truth Stated

Weak and delicate females will
find Westmoreland's Calisaya Ton
ic the best strengthening and in
vigorating tonic on the market. Be
sure and try it.
Calisaya Tonic contains a very
large percentage of the pure Cali
saya Bark, combined with the most
valuable tonics and alternatives
known, and will C re Chills and
Fever, Dyspepsia in all it's forms,
General Debility, Want of Appe-
tite, Chronic Headache, Indiges-
ton, Nervous Exhaustion, Loss of
Sleep, Muscular Weakness, Neu-
ralgia of the face ard stomach,
Heartburn, and all diseases aris-
ing from a torpid liver of general
arrangement of the kidneys.
We claim that the Bark of Calisa-
va or Cinchona contains a great
deal more anti-periodic properties
than the Quinine, which is merely
one Of the extracts from it. The Ca
lisaya Bark cures Chil5 and Fevers
and all other diseases arising from
malaria in the system.
None genuine but that made by
Westmoreland Bros, Green

AN exchange says there is a boy
in Putnam county, a son of Jeffer-
son Lee, 10 years of age, who, ow-
ing to the peculiar nature of his
skin, has never been known to
sweat drop of perspiration in
his life. Another phenomenon
connected with the boy is that he
has only four teeth, and he had
these when born, having neither
cut or shed any since his birth.
He is very much affected by the
seasons. In the summer he gets
exceedingly warm, and is COM
palled, in order to live at all, to
keep his head and body wet with
cold water, and fills off to almost
skeleton, but when winter comes
and cold weather sets in, he is en-
ahled to dispense with his bath
and grows fat. He is said to be a
sprightly boy, with plenty Of
sense.

Cross Road Items.

A majority Of the farmers say
they are in the grass worse, and
farther behind with their work,
than they were ever before.
Mr.. John Arnold has been i'm
proving his game chickens for
the past three years. and says he
has such game stock now that he
has to place cotton between the
eggs after they have been set on a
week to keep them from jumping
together and breaking.
The babe of Mr.. and Mrs. J. A.
Langston was buried at Hope
well last Sunday. They have the
sympathy of the community.
To see John Avera smile you
would think he was q candidate,
but he is not. He is only the IA
ther of a bouncing baby girl.
Polk Hass is learning how to
measure out paragoric and talk
baby lore again. 1t is little
girl.
We have gentleman in this
community who can prove from
the Bible that Bacon ought not to
be Governor Of Georgia, and that
believer in the Bible cannot con-
sistently vote for him.
The candidate is no longer
grasping you by the hand and in
qulring after your health, crop,
etc.
1t seems as though Gordon "got
there Eli" We told you SO.
Everything is quiet in the bloody
Third since the election.
Mr.. Sam Ayers has moved back
to this community.
The inclemency of the weather
prevented Mr.. Clark from filling
his appointment here last Sunday.
Mr.. Moring is now saving some
of the prettiest lumber in the
county.
Miss Sallie Wall returned from
Shellman last Saturday very sick
with bilious fever.
Work has begun on the resi-
dences of Messrs. Jack Brim and
Pinkney Hannah.
John Arnold cut a bee tree last
week, from which he took 200
pounds of nice honey.
