A mink, or some other night
prowling varmint, not having the fear

II can't see how any family lives
without Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy" says j. r.
Adams, a we'll known druggist, OF
Geneva, Ala, in a letter inquiring
the price of a dozen bottles, that he
might not only have it for use in his
own family, but supply it to his
neighbors. The reason some people
get along without it, is because they
do not know it's value, and what a
vast amount of suffering it will save.
Wherever it becomes known and
used it is recognized as a necessity,
for it is the only remedy that can
always be depended upon for bowel
complaints, both for children and
adults. For sale by j. E. Kauf-
mann.

The Mystery Solved

The secret Of perpetual motion
has at last been discovered and the
mystery solved and in its solution
Platt, Hook & Shull, of Columbia.
has conferred a blessing upon the
consuming public. Low prices and
honest goods was the great key
which unlocked the mystery and
caused the perpetual throng of Gus
toners to flow in and out of their
store. Their plantation and family
supplies are the freshest, the purest
and the cheapest that can be had in
the city and the purchasing public is
beginning to find these facts out from
practical experience. When in need
of anything in their line give them a
call.
