THE SOUTH GEORGIA FAIR.
Timber Lands of Southern Georgia
Being Exhausted.

Waycross, Ga, May 2S.-Col. T. T.
Wright, industrial and agricultural pro-
moter for the Plant system, spent few
hours here this morning, in consultation
with number of business men, concern
ing the feasibility of organizing fair as
sociatiOn. 1t was agreed that the organ
ization should be effected soon and would
be called the South Georgia Fair Asso-
citation. The fairs are to be held an
nually IN Waycross, and the various coun-
ties Of South Georgia will be invited TO
participate. The initial fair may be held
this fall, though 1t might be deemed best
to hold it in 1898. The plan should meet
with the approval of all the counties in
this section, and every effort possible
VIII be made to get all the counties identi-
fed with the movement
The timber of South Georgia for ex
tensive lumber and turpentine purposes
is almost a thing of the past though hun
dreds of sawmills and turpentine stills
are in operation. Most of these industries
are small, and some of the lumber mills
cut very little stuff for foreign shipment.
The storm last September in the lower
counties of the state, left most of the
valuable pine orchards in ruins, unfit for
turpentne purposes. In some of these To-
calities the timber was not so badly in
jured, and much of it is available for
lumber manufacture. The available round
ties. exists In such small quantities and
so scattering that extensive operations by
turpentine and sawmil men would be I'M

From the Ne,o Era, Greensburg, Ind.

From the NeU Era, Greensburg, Ind.
Miss Sarah Cones who lives about three
miles northwest of Aurora, Ind, is well and
popularity known. Miss Cones is a school
teacher, having charge of country school
about two miles from her home. She drives
to and from her school each day.
She is stout and robust, and in the best of
health, as the rudy glow on her plump
cheeks testifies.
The reporter happened to meet this young
lady's mother in Aurora few days ago and
learned that although her daughter is now
in the best of health, last winter she was
suffering untold agony, from troubles arising
from exposure.
Mrs. Cones said: "Sarah has been teach
ing for four years, beginning when in her
sixteenth year. She has always taught at
the same school and got along well until last
December, when the weather was unusually
changeable, and she took a severe cold which
developed into, the grip" She was con-
fined to the house about two weeks, when
she got out and went to her school again
She had a relapse, and this time was con-
fined to the house several weeks, having to
give up her school.
She was troubled with rheumatism and
nervousness and suffered great agony, her
nerves being almost completely shattered.
She could scarcely eat, and in fact could not
retain solid food on her stomach at all.
We tried five different physicians but
with little avail
Zone day our druggist advised us to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People as
they seemed to benefit many persons about
Aurora.
Sarah used one box of the pills with
satisfactory results, and by the time two
boxes were taken she was able to 90 about
the house. Seven boxes were used, the last
one in July. She was entirely relieved of
all pains or signs of rheumatism, and ner-
vousness, and has since felt as well as she
ever did and has not missed a day of her
school this winter"
Miss Sarah, who entered at this time ver-
fed all her mother had said, as did also the
druggists of Aurora. The drug firms of A.
]. Marshall & Co., j. A. Riddell & Co. and
John NJ. Ullrich, said the medicine was a
constant seller with them, and gave univer-
sal satisfaction. People who buy once
come and buy again, I" they said.
