THE BOER QUESTION
Is in Doubt, But the Jewelry Question
 is Solved

Webster Davis. former assistant secretary of the interior, who is now visiting the prominent cities all over the United States, advocating the Boer side of the Transvaal question: is causing what great many people delight in creating-that is, sensa- tion MT. Davis has recently been to the South African Republic and so great has his sympathy been aroused for the Boers that when he returned to America he sac riflced his high and honored position to give utterance to his convictions in their behalf. MT. Davis has involved himself in ques- tion of great scope, and no doubt the in centiye which has caused him to labor so untiringly is that he sees in the far distance the dingy outlines of the White House, which he hopes to reach by trying to play on the sympathy of the liberal American. It is astouding in what different ways men struggle to reach that pinnacle of fame.
 In this day the people are advanced and so in touch with everything that a man has to be right before he can win them over.
 Now, everything we keep is right. Our critical customers verify the assertion. We have the best stock of jewelry for it's size in the south. Notice in the window the beautiful bisques that represent wonderful productions of the hand work in art.

CURE GUARANTEED

Patients will be received and treated promptly, and not one cent VIII be required for treatment until the patients say that all desire and craving for theeir former habit is destroyed. The patients should remain (though very few do) under the observation and direction of the doctor for a week or more. The treatment can be given in secrecy and is so mild that the most delicate have taken it with little or no suffering. In fact, the patient hardly realizes that he is under treatment until he finds himself cured and full of joy at his liberation from the most exacting and cruel masters that ever dominated a slave.
 Dr. Westmoreland has never failed to relieve all of the great number that have taken his remedy for these ensaving hab- it's or diseases Why would any one con- tinue in bondage when he is guaranteed Q cure? How could any physician devote his entire time to this one speciality and make this proposition, unless he knows he can cure you?
 No one that Is addicted to any of these dreadful diseases or habits should fail to avail himself of this great opportunity of being cured at once of these, the greatest afflictions that mortal ever had. Tor fur ther information call on or address
