IN THE DRUG BUSINESS.

The most delicate and responsible
part is filling Prescriptions, to proper
ly understand the art, and to be quail
fled for the position requires years OF
constant toll and study. Men compe-
tent to discharge that duty are not to
be had for the price of an ordinary day
laborer. knowledge and experience
have in all ages rightly commanded
price. People lose sight of this fact
when they hagglc and kick because
they can't buy their Prescriptions at
the same per centum at which they get
their flour and sugar. Thousands OF
mistakes arc made every year by mex
perienced and unskilled men behind
the Prescription desk, and the reason
no more fatalities occur is that the ma
jority of the Doctors Prescriptions
contain no poison and while they fail
to accomplish the result desired, no
disastrous consequences follow.
The care and the anxiety and the re-
sponsibility of this thing has robbed
many good man of his health. One
of the best men ever knew, andprob
ably the most popular and successful
retail druggist who ever did business
in this Town Though he died poor
absolutely refused i'll his later years to
fill Prescription under any circum-
stances. And | have i'm my mind an
other who, though comparatively
young and in the midst OF success, had
to retire, shattered and broken in
health, borne down by the anxieties
and responsibilities of IL retail drug
gist's life; yet, people require, and
properly, the very best skill and expe-
riencc in the filling of their Prcscrip-
tiOns.
Realizing this fact, we have again,
ut considerable additional expense, Sc
cured the services of DR.. M. F. GAME,
probably the best equipped Pharma-
cist who has ever been in this section
Of the State, and we confidently ask
for your Prescription business, guaran-
tceing that everything shall be abso-
lutely accurate and us the Doctor pre-
scribes.
We have no complaints to make as
to our Prescription business. We have
always, and expect to continue, to fill
a considerable share. We simply want
cd to advise the people of our extra
effort and peculiar fitness by having a
man exclusively for that line.

= At the battle of New Hope
Church, between Atlanta and Chicka-

H. Ross, who was on his staff, to as
certain from Gen. Wheeler, who occu-
pied an advanced position, what was
in his front. He found the general on
his horse, with one leg over the pom
mel Of his saddle. Saluting him, Maj.
Ross said: "Gen. Walker intends to
make charge at this point, and would
like to know if the enemy has masked
battery in front of u.s. "I don't
know, major" Gen. Wheeler replied,
"but I can soon find out, and, swing
ing into position in his saddle, he gal
loped up to slight eminence, accom-
panied by Major Ross and his staff,
and planted guidon. A moment later
puff of smoke in the distance and
the sputtering of shell as it flew over
them showed what was ahead. Turn
ing to Major Ross the general said:
"Give Gen. Walker my compliments,
and say there is masked battery in
front of us" Major Ross ventured
the remark that it was a rather risky
way of unmasking battery. "The
first shots always fly high was the
cool reply. Its the shots that follow
that are dangerous.
