Proposes to Harness ..Chattahoochee
River in Upper Portion of Muscogee.
Columbus, Ga, Oct. 6.-Judge Butt
has granted a charter to the Coweta
Power company, which is organized
for the purpose of developing the
Chattahoochee river for a distance of
a number of miles in the upper part
of Muscogee county.
A series of dams will be built all
the way to the Harris county line, and
quite number of manufacturing en-
terprises will be established to util-
ize this cheap power. The river is
said to have a fall of 100 feet on the
land owned by the company.
1t is thought that the development
of this power on such a gigantic scale
means more for Columbus than any
previous industrial development in the
history of the city.

DEAR SIR:-Some years agoI operated float
ING saw-mill on the Savannah River My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
Ny attention was then called to Johnson Chill
and Fever Tonic, and I determined to give the
medicine trial. [ procured it, and those who
we're sick were put on this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on 1 used nothing else but JOhnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
