There's Wisdom
in Economy,

And there are different sorts
OF economy. The economy
which saves at the spigot
and wastes at the bung" Is
worse than no economy at
all.
The truest saving Is to buy
the best your pocketbook
will afford at the lowest
price for which 1t can be
sold.
We buy the best of every
thing.
We sell on such a close mar.
gin of profit that our Gus
toners feel confident that
bottom has been struck.
Hence the active, progress
sive look of things which
some people wonder at.
It's very simple this honest
shopkeeping when you know
how, and the trading public
will always pin their faith
to an establishment of this
kind.

CoNvIcTs ON RoADs.-Georgia, as
much as thirty years ago, had
earned the name of "Iankee"
State from the keeness of its
people, their intensely practical views
of things, and their willingness to
try every new scheme for the general
walfaIe. They are now getting cheap
er roads and better roads than any other
southern State has, through their coun-
ties working Convict labor. The labor
costs the counties just twenty.six cents
per day per man, and no more. They
are the State convicts and the county
convicts sentenced to Jail. The follow
ing they hold, by experience, to be its
benefits:
1t frees the county from the expense
OF keeping prisoners without any return
value.
1t engages convict labor in healthful
occupation without bringing it in COM
petition with free labor.
1t is the best possible punishment fer
the common criminal.
It cures the tramp nuisance.
The result good roads, is q universe
benefaction.

During the winter of 1893, F. M.
Martin, of Long Reach, w. Va, con-
tracted a severe cold which left him
with cough. In speaking of how he
cured it he says: 81 used several kinds
of cough syrup but found no relief until
| bought a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, which relieved me al
most instantly, and in short time
brought about complete cure" When
troubled with cough or cold use this
remedy and you will not find it neces-
sary to try several kinds before you get
