This great book tells all about medicine
that is an unfailing cure for all weakness
and disease of the delicate organs distinctly
feminine. That medicine is DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. During the past
thirty years many thousands of women
have used it with marvellous results. 1t
imparts health, vigor, virility, strength and
elasticity to the organs that bear the bur
dens of maternity 1t fits for wifehood and
motherhood. Taken during the period of
CESSATION, it makes the coming of baby easy
and almost painless. 1t completely BAN
ishes the pain and misery that are the re-
suit of woman's neglecting her womanly
health. An honest medicine dealer will
give you what you ask for, and not try to

TO SUBSCRIBERS

a great many OF The ADVERTISERS
subscribers are in arrears,-many moro
than usual. 1t Is impossible for the pa
per to get along unless its subscribers
pay.
During the year we have endeavored
to give you the worth of your money.
Your county paper publishes news that
you a get in no other paper. The
big weekly editions Of daily papers
published in Atlanta and other cities
hat you get for a low price make you
think thai the price OF your county pa
per Ia high. But these big weeklies do
not tell you who is on the jury in Lau-
ems. They do not tell you who of your
friends are married and who arc dead.
You cannot call upon them to publish
the rolls OF honor in your schools and
the announcements Of your picnics and
club meetings. Even the advertise
ments in your county paper are valua-
BILE to you-they contain information
which every man In Laurens county
frequently needs. This year Is cleo
ton year and YOU will neod q county
paper more than usual.
A county paper canno have a large
circulation like the papers that the
dailies publish and the dailies can pub
lish weekly editions much cheaper
than we can OF course.
We have been indulgent-too much
80 for our good. We can Indulge no
longer. On the first day of March we
expect to stop sending the paper to
those who have shown no disposition
to pay anything this fall. Between
o and then, the sooner the better,
we ask payment from all in arrears.
II you can't pay all, and will pay a
part, you will find us ready to meet
you half way and to continue sending
the paper,
The price Of the paper is One Dollar
and a half a year.
