QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grlndmothers never thought of using
anythin g else for Indigestion or Bilious,
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart Failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean cut the
system and stop fermentation of ua-
dIgested food, regulate the action of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system, and that
is AL they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need a few doses of Green's

you satisfied there Is nothing serious

Ii every farm contained tool house
In which every tool was kept in its
place when not in use, there would be
great saving Of time during the busy
season. 1t often happens that the
value of the time lost in seeking some
tool not in It's place is greater than the
cost of the tool. Much Of the loss Of
time and exposure of tools is dine to
lack OF some suitable place Of storage.
1t costs but little to build a tool house

Politicians Think II VIII BE Greater
Than Ever Before.

The number of voters registered yester-

not as large as il has been almost con

registrar were first opened. Instead Of the
number being 100 as had been the lowest
number up to last week, it was yesterday
but eighty.

up TO a total of 1880 a good record, GER
tainly, for less than months work.

a Few Facts About Life Insurance,


Primarily, life insurance is intended for
the protection of dependent ones and
wh5n so regarded it is one of the greatest
blessings of our civilization; yet, after
all, modern life insurance, as issued by
the Massachusetts Mutual, is nothing
more nor less than a savings bank fund
that yields a handsome dividend. 1t has
this advantage over the bank account,
that in event of death it yields larger re-
turns, is not so easily disturbed, drawn
or squandered and inculcates the habit
of saving. While all this is without ques-
ton, absolutely true it is equally as true
that there is no better company in the
business than the Massachusetts Mutual;
none that deals fairer with its policy
holders, and but few that have the added
protection of the famous Massachusetts
insurance laws. 1t is to the vital interest
Of every intending insurer to examine our
plans, and at least get some Information
about Massachusetts laws. We carefully
send full information gratis on APP
plcation, stating age and ad-
dress. Harry & Apple, managers for Geor-

John W. Banner Recovered Against
Mrs. Sarah 4. showaIter.

The jury in the case of Mrs. Sarah A.
Showalter against John w. Banner re-
turned a sealed verdict for the defendant
on Friday night which was opened and
its finding announced when court convened
yesterday morning.
The case originated with Mrs. Showal-
ter, who had borrowed a sum of money
from Banner, who is her borther-in-law,
with which to pay various ns,allments Of
the purchase money Of a house which she
had bought. Under the instrument IN
writing which she had given him TO secure
the payment of this money, Banner it was
said, had begun proceedings looking to tie
sale of the house. TO prevent this sale
Mrs. Showlater secured a temporary re-
strainins order from the Superior Court.
When the case came on TO be heard on
Thursday afternoon, Banner repudiated
any other desire than the recovery OF the
money he had loaned to the Plaintiff in he
first instance. In the meantime though
Mr.. w. c. Hartridge and Mr. w. +. La
Roche. who represented the defendant and
the plaintiff, respectively, had both put in
applications for attorneys fees, on the
ground that the litigation had been rem
dered necessary by the negotiable conduct
of the other party in interest. The verdict
of the jury disposed of all of these points
and judgment was taken accordingly
The jury found that the defendant was
entitled to recover of the plaintiff the sum
of $4i2.50, principal, $9l51, interest to date,
and the costs of court, all of which should
be paid by the plaintiff. The jury recon-
mended further that each party pay his
or her own attorneys fees.

persons who were supposed to know more
or less about the affair." but none of them
had been present when the woman was
shot, and consequently could throw little
light on the subject. Dr. Weichselbaum,
who attended Inc Wright woman was told
by her that the shooting was the result
of an accident and as the mans story

Coroner Goette did not think an inquest
necessary and ordered the release of HUI

OUT or PUBLIC EYE.
Kentucky Trouble knocks Out south
African War.

The political war in Kentucky and the
war in South Africa are two of the things
which are interesting Savannahians most
at present. The hot feeling in Kentucky,
which has nearly brought the situation in
that state to crisis, has taken prece-
dence over the South African War, which
has now almost drifJed from the public's
view. Another week and that war will be
out of the public eye entirely. Now that
the contestant for the Governorshio in
Kentucky is dead, that trouble, 100, will
soon be a thing of the past. One thing
will be a burning issue before Savannah
ians for all time to come, however, and
that is the fact that Logan is in the mar
ket with good meat for sale. He cannot
be annihilated. His merit makes him ir-
repressible. He feels the necessity of stay
ing at his post because the lives of many
good families in Savannah are in his hand.
He supplies them with the necessaries of
life-ad.
