The ancients beliey,d that rheum1- tism was the work of demon within a man. Any one who has had an at- tack of sciatic or inflammatory rheu- matism will agree that the intiiction is demonlac enough to warrant the belief. It has never been claimed that Cbamberlain's Pain Balm would cast out demons, built will cure rheuma- tism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statements One ap- plication relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it affords is alone worth many times it's cost For sale by L.

People visiting Augusta wonder
why there is not a small check closet
at the south end OF the station where
the baggage master can get checks to
use on the west bound trains, re-
marked drummer Thursday. AT the
present time he has to leave his bag
gage room locked when the train
whistles, to haul the truck loads of bag
gage to the south end of the station
which is fully three hundred feet from
the baggage room. After the trains
come in persons who wish any baggage
checked and who are few minutes
late in arriving, have to go to the
south end to get the baggage master
and having him run to the baggage
room to secure checks. Often as in the
