Valdosta, Ga, April 12-Sunday's Morn
ing News gave an account of case Of
hydrophobia which developed above this
city last week The victim is Mr.. Henri
Plair, a white farmer, probably 50 years of
age, who was bitten by a mad dog last
fall some time.
There has been a good deal of doubt as
to whether there is such a thing as hydro
phobia. many affirming that cases of the
sort are due to fright. If the stories which
come from Pairs home are to be believed
there need be no longer doubt on that sub
ject. A gentleman who came from there
this morning says that the malady took
a Violent turn yesterday and that the at
fiicted man had to be tied 20 control him.
He was in the throes of constant convul-
sions all day and his condition was pita>
BILE in the extreme. 1t was expected that
he would not live through last night, bur
he was alive when last heard from.
There was no fright or imagina ton III

the dog, and at no time could he be per-
suaded to believe that the bite had any
thing to do with his condition The doc

fortunate man would finally die of con

Valdosta, April 12.-The convention of
the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society

has been in session here since last Friday
night, adjourned last night. Many dele
gates have been in attendance and the
sessions have been attended by good
crowds from the city.

one of the ablest sermons heard here in
a long time. Mrs. Truehart, the general
secretary of the Womans Board of For
eign Missions of Nashville has also been
in attendance and has given valuable aid
to the members of the convention in their
work.
Col. Gordon Crawford has just returned
from a fishing trip in Florida and reports
a rather strange story of the suicide of a
rattlesnake. He ran upon the snake on
the bank of the river and stepped back
to get a stick with which to kill it, Be
fore striking the snake he noticed that
il looked lifeless, and he began to investi-
gate. He found that a tiny vine had be-
come tangled over the snakes head SO
that the more it tried to extricate itself
the tighter became the knot. In this way
the snake was choked TO death The rat

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG 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. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
eN cry 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 to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
