,1avor James R. Atwater of Thomaston
mill call an election June 16 for the issu-
Ing of $4,000 in bonds to build an audito-
rum.
P. Heard has sold his brick block,
consisting of a fine two-story building,
fronting Seventh street, at Cordele, to
Hon w. S. Thomson and Judge U. V.
Whipple the consideration of the deal
amounting to something over $4,000.
After trial of two days in the City
Court at Macon, the jury in the case of
Mrs. Lucy Ann Hodges VS.. the Central of
Georgia Railway has brought in verdict
giving the plaintiff $4,000 damages. This
was the suit for damages for the killing of
the plaintiffs husband by a. Central train
at Reasley's crossing several months ago.
THE defense was tIldt MI. t1OuSe was All
toxicated at the time he was run over, and
that by his own recklesSness and negli-
bence he contributed to his death.
4 little more than thirty five years ago
q family consisting of three persons, a
widow and her two sons resided in Worth
county. The widows name was Rogers,
and her two sons were Calvin and Wiley,
aged respectively II and 3 years. Some
time during the year 1868 Mrs. Rogers had
occasion to visit Macon, and died there.
When the war ended the two brothers had
lost track of each other Wiley himself
was SO young that he soon forgot he even
had brother. In course of time he faced
the world on his own account, married
and after living in several places, finally
drifted, at the age of IS years, to Worth
county, settling on a farm near Sylvester
Meanwhile, ]. Calvin Rogers had become
a man of family, and at the age of AZ
years was a prosperous farmer and highly
respected citizen of his native county, liv-
ing in the eastern section, not far from the
line of Dougherty. 1t was not long before
parties began to notice remarkable re-
semblance between j. c. and w. Rogers.
At first neither of them paid much at
tentian. to the remarks of friends on the
subject, attributing the resemblance to a
mere coincidence, but the eldest of the
brothers finally resolved to investigate and
satisfy himself. The result is that the
two brothers are reunited after separa-
ton of thirty-five years.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making better ar
ticle than your competitor If you cannot
get a better price for it?
Ans-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better
SO that while our profits may be smaller
on a single sale they will be much greater
In the aggregate.
How can you get the public TO know
YOUR make is the best?
If both articles are brought prominently
before the public both are certain to be
tried and the public will very quickly pass
Judgment on them and use only the bet
ter one.
This explains the large sale on Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The people have
been using 1t for years and have found
that it can always be depended upon.
They may occasionally take up with some
fashionable novelty put forth with ex-
asgerated claims, but are certain to re-
turn to the one remedy that they know TO
be reliable, and for coughs, colds and
Group there is nothing equal to Chamber
iain's Cough Remedy. Fpr sale by Henry

ANTICIPATING A HEAVY
EXPRESS BUSINESS
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED
Companies Getting Ready for n Rec
Ord-BreaIKinE Rush-HOw to Pack
and Send Packages.


The express companies are getting
ready for the handling of a volume OF
business that promises to be unprece-
dented. Special instructions have been
issued to assist the uninformed. Among
the points which are emphasized are the
following:
All packages ought to be so packed
that the ordinary necessary handling
they must have in transportation will not
result in the breakage of the contents.
The strength of the box or. wrapper
must always be proportionate to the
character or weight of the contents.
All packages should be we'll tied, and
should be plainly marked with marking
brush or strong tag. or a label written
or printed with plain, black Ink. If there
are any old marks or a package they
should be thoroughly obliteratei.
If there are two places Of the same
name in the same State the naIle of the
county should be given with the addi eis
1t is always well to send Letter or
postal card of advice By mail notifying
the consignee that a package is sent by
express.
Packing in the sane box matter that
might injure another class is unwise. Ex-
ira care should be taken in packing glass
and fragile articles.
The placing of money in ordinary pack
ages involves risk. The way to send
money by express is to place 1t in pack
age by itself and take a money receipt
for it from the express company.
An important point Is the placing on
all packages of the name and address of
the sender, so that in the event of the
consignee not being found at the address
named the sender can be notified Often
Christmas presents fail to reach their
destination because of the neglect of the
sender in ignoring simple precautions.
