GREAT DAY AT THE FAIR.
FULLY TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE
PASSED THE GATES.

Trains All Crowded With Incoming
VisitOrs-Prosperfty Indicated in
the Dress of the PeOpIe-Saw Mil
Men and HOO-Hoos Have Meetings,
Magnificent Showing of the Wire
grass Section.
Valdosta, Ga. Nov. 5.-To-day was
decidedly the best day the State Fair
has had. Probably more people came
to the city on the cars to-day than any
other day in years. Every train-and
there were four extras-was crowded
beyond the capacity of the cars, and
fully TO- 900 people entered the gates at
the fair grounds. Even circus day,
when Forepaugh & Sells shows were
crowded out of business-the crowds
were not greater than gathered to eel
citrate Wiregrass Day at the Fair, to-
day.
And the people appeared to be very
much pleased with all of the features
which make uD the fair. A notable
thing about the crowds who have at
tended is the universal air of prosper
ity which is indicated in the style of
dress, the patronage which has been
given to all of the side attractions, and
the good humor that has been seen
everywhere. The Wiregrass section has
made a magnificent showing, both in
the character of her people as well as
the quality of her products.

Mr.. Charles Nielsen, a French ex-

which were new to him, says the Kobe

engaged in travelling They lived in
damp places and went in troops. To
his surprise, he noticed among them,
from time to time. an occasional ant
which was much larger than the 9TH

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
Symptoms of Very Common
Trouble:

There is no disease so common in the
United States as Catarrh because it
appears in so many forms and attacks
so many different organs.
1t is common mistake to suppose
that catarrh is confined to the nose
and throat. Any Inflammation of the
mucous membrane wherever located
accompanied by abnormal secretions
is catarrh. Catarrh of stomach or
bladder, or intestines, is nearly as
common as nasal catarrh and much
more serious, although it is true that
stomach catarrh or other internal or
gans is the result of neglected nasal
catarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which so far as tested seems to be re-
markably effective in promptly curing
catarrh, wherever located. The prepa-
ration is sold by druggists generally
under name of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets, and in addition to being very
extraordinary merit, in many cases
giving immediate relief from the
coughing, hawking and constant clear
ing of the throat and head, those
symptoms with which everyone is ia
miliar who has ever suffered from
colds in the head and throat.
Catarrh is simply continuation of
these symptoms until the trouble be-
comes chronic and grows gradually
worse from year to year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are COM
posed of Hydrastin, Red Gum and
similar antiseptics and catarrh spe-
cities, from which it will be seen that
no secret is made of the ingredients
ano also that no mineral polsons are
used, as is the case with many well
known catarrh medicines.
For catarrh of the nose, throat,
bronchial tubes, for catarrh Of stom-
ach, intestines or bladder, no prepare
ton is so safe and gives such rapid
and permanent results as Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets
All druggists sell them at SOC for full
size package. You can use them with
assurance that you will not contract
me cocaine or morphine habit as the
results from this catarrh cure are APP
