MILLEDGEvILLE PEOPLE easy"
Ready to Hand Out Dollars to a
Negro BuncO Man.


Milledgeville Ga, April ia negro
giving his name. as John Jones has been
operating for the past week a scheme in
this city that has brought him in no
small revenue. Dressed as a farm hand
and carrying with him something tended
to prove his identity, sometimes chickens,
sometimes potatoes, he would knock at
the door of some citizen, stating to them
that Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Smith, or their
next door neighbor had bought something
from him, and that she did not have the
change, and told him to step over and
ask her for change for ST. 81, or IS, as the
case may be. The unsuspecting and
neighborly neighbor would accommodate
her neighbor, and the fakir would step
across the street or around the corner
with the change to get and bring back
the bill. and he would never come back
Unwilling to acknowledge that they were
so easily taken in. the victims of the ia
kir said nothing, and the negro had full
week at his scheme before the police were
put upon his track. A negro has been
arrested who is supposed to be the man,
but as yet no one has been able to iden-
tify him.

WOMEN MUST SLEEP.
Avoid Nervous Prostitution.

If you are dangerously sick what is
the first duty of your physician? He
quiets the nervous system, he deadens
the pain, and you sleep well.
Friends ask, what is the cause ?"
and the answer comes in plying
tones, nervous prostration. 1t came
upon you so quietly in the beginning,
that you were not alarmed, and when
sleep deserted you night after night
until your eyes fairly burned in the
darkness, then you tossed in nervous
agony praying for sleep.

Deadly dangers Turk in the ground
left bare by the departing snow. All
Winter long there have been accumu-
lating deadly disease germs.
These have been protected ana
kept alive by the covering of snow

these death-bringing microbes are
awakened by the rays of the sun. and
as the ground dries they are carried 10
all corners of the community IN the
dust that Is blown everywhere by the
Spring winds.
The human body at this time Is par
ticularly susceptible to these germs
especially the germs of fevers. Inc
system has been depleted by the fore
going Winter. The blood is sluggish
and filled with impurities. The nerves
have not recovered from the tension
they have been under for the past
months. The stomach, the bowels, the
kidneys. the live- are all at their
worst. .,,.
It is, therefore, not strange tna'
these germs OF disease find fertlie
ground in which to thrive, flourish and
develop into deadly ills.
Spring is the time of year when one
should fear an attack OF fever, eSpe-
cially when the system is depleted one
should dread any severe illness. Inc
vitality is at low ebb. There is less
mower of resistance to throw on oil

fatalities are so much greater during
the Spring months than at any o'hef
time of the year. -
