An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFoRNIA EIG SYRUP Co, illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles OF plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispening colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
TO overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known 20 the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

ers' Institute this week There are about
100 teachers In the county, eight white

striving to give the visitors a week Of
profit and enjoyment.
Prof E. A Pound, superintendent of the
Waycross schools, is conductor of the in
stitute. Under his direction questions of
Importance 10 the teachers profession are
being enthusiastically discussed each day.
Prof. Pound is a young man, but his
scholarly attainments and affdDle manner
have given him a sure place in the hearts
of Tattnall's educators. His lectures have
aroused deep interest.

cred a very able address yesterday after
noon to a large and attentive audience
at the court house The building was
filed and the earnestness ana eloquence
of the speaker enthused the entire audi
ence DR.. Glenn's forcfful argument has
brought many Of our leading teachers into
hearty sympathy with his scheme of in
dustrial educa ton
The development of the times becoming
more and more material seems to demand
more from our educators now than meEv
abstract book learning II Is DR. Glenn's
opinion that at a time not far distant
various useful trades and arts or skill
viii be taught in all of Georgia's public
schools. He urges the teachers to train
pupils TO do things as well as to learn
things To illustrate the benefits, he
cited the condition in Switzerland, the beg

culum. His claim is that increasing the
intelligence of labor increases the pros
perity of the country.

pills OF his school.

ed largely 10 the success of the institute.
He and Prof Pound have been aided in
conducting the institute by Profs. j. l..
Gilmore. D. r. Shepard, Hinton Booth,
G.. r. Parttn and others.
Following Or. Glenn's address, the
