Something to Depend On.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug
firm of Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,,
in speaking of DR.. Kings New
Discovery, says that last winter
his wife was attacked with la
grippe, and her case grew SO Sc
rious that physicians at Cowden
and Pana could do nothing for
her. 1t seemed TO develop into
hasty consumption. Having DR..
Kings New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took a
bottle home, and to the surprise of
all she began to get better from
first dose, and half dozen dollar
bottles cured her sound and well.
DIR. Kings New Discovery for
consumption, coughs and colds is

Somewhat Snakey.

Sunday, Chas. Nix of the Frank
Beckett place, west Of Santos
come in contact with a monster
moccasin snake, nine feet long
and in thickness resembling a
youthful saw-log. Nix made a
deadly onslaught with rocks, but

with a rattle as though it's sides
were iron clad. Finally getting
a good pole, he crushed its head.

housekeeping Convention.

One of the most remarkable
gatherings Of it's kind that has
ever taken place in this country
assembled last week at Winder,
Ga. 1t was nothing less than a
horse-swapping convention and
5000 persons from all parts of
the state met, including a band
of gypsies from Alabama and
one trader from Pike county,
Mo. The mayor turned the city
over to the swappers. Fun,
frolic, yarns and whisky flowed
freely, but no serious disturb
ances marred the hilarity of the
three days meet. One man
snapped horses thirteen times,
rode home on the same animal he
made his entry to the gathering,
led two other horses and had $50
in cash. 1t was the first conven-
tion Of it's kind ever held and was
a wonderful success.

The man with a weight on his
leg can't hope to win in the race.
A man with a weight on his
health can't expect to compete in
life and business with those who
are not handicapped. If his brain
is heavy, and his blood sluggish,
because of constipation, he will
not succeed in doing anything
very well. Constipation is the
cause Of nine-tenths of all sick
ness. Symptoms of it are sallow-
ness, listlessness, poor appetite,
bad taste in the mouth, dizziness,
biliousnesS, and lassitude. Con-
stipation can be cured easily and
certainly by the use of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They are not
at all violent in their action, and
yet they are more certain than
many medicines which are so
strong that they put the system
all out of order. The great ad-
vantage OF the pleasant Pellets"
is that they cure permanently.
