Cold Steel or Death,

"There is but one small chance to
save your life and that is through an
operation" was the awful prospect set
before Mrs. [. B. Hunt of Lime Ridge,
Miss, by her doctor after vainly try
ing to cure her of a frightful case Of
stomach trouble and yellow iaundice.
He didn't count on the marvellous pow
err of Electric Bitters to cure stomach
and liver troubles; but she heard of it,
took seven bottles, was wholly cured,
avoided surgeons knife, now weighs
more and feels better than ever. 1t is
positively guaranteed to cure stomach,
liver and kidney trouble and never dis
appoints. Frice SOC at Dawson Drug

Figures About the Several Districts of the County
Population of the Towns.

800 and of Parrott 267. No census is
given of these last two towns for 1890.
The population of the state in 1900
is 2.2l6,331 as against l, 49,, 1853 in 1890,
representing an increase since 1890 OF
37S,978, or 20.6 per cent. This rate OF
increase is only little more than that
for the decade from 1880 to 1890, when
it was 1871 per cent, and is q little
more than two-thirds that for the de-
cade from 1870 to 1880, when it was
1912 per cent. Georgia had popula-
ton at the first census, in 1870, of 81
54S, but it increased by 1880 to SIG, 1923,
and by 1860 to 1867, 286, having more
than doubled during the 30 years from
1880 to 1860. Since 1860 it's population
has again more than doubled, and is
now considerably in excess of two mil
lions.
The population of Georgia in 1900 is
very nearly twenty-seven times as
large as the population given for 1890,
when it was only S2,548.
The total land surface of Georgia is,
approximately, $3.50 square miles, the
average number of persons to the

RICE STREET COMPLAINTS.
Board of Public Works Investigates
Troubles of Property Owners.

Board of Public Works Investigates
Troubles of Property Owners.
City Engineer Ciaussen informed the
board of public works yesterday that the
grade of Rice street, between Charles and
Winter streets, was correct notWith-
standing the statements of property own
ers to the contrary. The raising of the
grade, the engineer says, would create
dissatisfaction and leave a number of
buildings below grade. AS to the COM
plant from standing water on Rice
street, at Edmund street and Como ave-
nue., the engineer says after the street
is paved this trouble will be done away
with, except after heavy rains. He rec
ommendS a main sewer to be construct
ed on Atwater street ana connection
made with the Gaultier street system
In the meantime the only protection for
property owners, the engineer says, is
the installation of backwater traps.
Plans and estimates for a storm water
sewer on ST. Adams street, from st.
Clair street to Grand avenue, were re-
turned by the engineer. The cost will be
$1,000, but as the property owners have
been assessed at previous times the con-
ference committee and the council ap-
propriated $1,000 from the general fund
for the purpose. The engineer recon-
mends that the contract be let at an
early date.
The alley which is to be opened in the
block bounded by Sixth, Seventh, Cedar
and Wabasha streets will cost $780, and
the property benefited IS 70 be assessed
for the Improvement A sewer on Wells
street, from Edgerton to Greenbrier, ac-
cording to the engineer, will cost 81 $50,
of Sc cents per front foot to property
owners. An adverse report will be sent
to the council for a sewer on Audubon
street, from Warsaw to Drake. 1t would
cost $1.05 per front foot, and but one own
er favored the improvement.

been added to its personnel. The only
member Of last years organization re-
tanned Is Miss May Louise Clary, con,
tralto, whose singing provoked much IA
Vorable comment here last year.
Prominent among the new talent is DR..

ing acknowledged the leading oratorio

tenor, has a clear, pure voice of fine
quality and sings with artistic effect He

by an unusual breadth and purity Of
tone.
Nine Meredith is an accomplished
singer with a beautiful voice and a
charming stage presence. She is a

Historical society," has received a large
oil painting representing the old govern
ment grain and saw mill which supplied
Fort Smelling for many years. They
were erected in 1922. The painting Is
reproduction Of negative taken in 1857,
and Is the work of Miss Sarah E. Therp,
and was procured through the kindness
of e. A. Bromley, of Minneapolis. 1t is
a companion picture to the old st. Paul
chapel which is familiar to so many resi-
dents of the Twin Cities. The late addi-
ton to the society's collection is a pic
ture of historic ground in Minneapolis.
The view is looking down the river,
southeast, toward the old wooden bridge
which has since been replaced by the
iron railway structure. The old Cheever
tower Is shown on the right rising above
the tree tops. These old mills were the
first buildings erected on what is now
portion of the site of Minneapolis
