Paine's Celery
Compound
Banishes all symptoms OF Dis
ease and Nourishes the
Nervous System

Paine's Celery Compound has
saved thousands of people from
nervous prostration and collapse
brought on through sleeplessness
weakened nerves, and impoverished
blood. The great medicine has made
thousands well. 1t has conquered
weakness and Ill health when every
thing else has failed.
This is the time when nervous
debility and nervous prostration be-
gin to manifest themselves. The
coming hot weather will only add
fuel to the fire of suffering and
disease.
II there is mental depression, loss
of energy, lack of vivacity, dullness
of the eyes, blanched cheeks and
lips, confusion in the head, defect
i've memory, love of solitude-all
these are direct indications of COM
ing nervous collapse, and call for
the immediate use OF that nerve
feeder, strength giYer, and blood
enricher, Paine's Celery Compound.
This Heaven-sent prescription lis a
peerless remedy for your dangerous
troubles. President #. j. Shaffer,
of the Amalgarnated Association OF
iron, steel and Tin Workers of the
United States, writes from Pitts
burg, Pa, as follows:
''In 1899 / was compelled to aban-
don my profession because of nerv-
Gus prostration consequent upon ex-
posture, hard study, and overwork.
A number of physicians declared |
would never recover, bat | tried
Paine's Celery Compound, and i'm
less than a year increased in weight
from l4lI to 2l5 pounds. During
the recent strike of the Steel Work
ers, finding myself ready to collapse,
and fearing recurrence of my
former trouble, / returned to my
former friend, Paine's Celery Com
pound, and already am feeling more
vigorous and able to meet and dis
charge the duties of my Office"

The New Road to Isle of Hope an
Easy Drive.
La Roche avenue, the new road con-
Meeting the Skidaway road with Isle
of Hope via Bona Bella, Cattle Park
and Pembroke, along the bank of the
Herb river, is already one of the
pleasantest drives in the county. 1t en-
tiers Isle of Hope at the Wylly place,
and runs through one of the best sec
tions of the county.
With a cross road connecting 1t with
Dale and Estill avenues it will afford
a most delightful drive to Isle of Hope.
The drive out to Isle of Hope by
Sandfy and across the causeway and
return by La Roche avenue can be
made easily in little more than three
hours.
A petition is now being circulated
and viii be submitted to the county
commissioners, probably at their next
meeting, asking for the widening of
the Isle of Hope causeway. AS it is
now it is q narrow road, barely more
than wide enough for a carriage. The
commissioners will be asked to make it
the usual width of public road.

Col. II. A. StOvaII to Deliver the An

Col. P. A. Stovall will deliver the adj
dress to the Bethesda boys at the an
niversary celebration Wednesday, April
%. Preparations are being made by
the stewards of the Union Society for
a big day at Bethesda this year The
usual anniversary exercises will be
held and the dinner for the boys will
be one of the features of the day.
The largest crowd that has attended
a. Bethesda celebration in many years
was present last April when Gov. Can
dler delivered the address to the boys.
This year the facilities for reaching
Bethesda will be better than they have
ever been. The new Bethesda road
starting from the Montgomery cross
road-the ebert paved road to Sandhy
and Isle of Hope-just beyond Haner's
bridge and running direct to Bethesda
will be finished in few days, giving
a paved road all the way from the city
to Bethesda.
President Baldwin is pushing the con-
struction of the Montgomery electric
line and will have it in operation as
far as Bethesda station, by the 23rd
with the electric line and ample cars
and paved road all the way from
the city by which the drive can be
made in carriages in an hour and a
quarter or an hour and half. there
is every prospect that there will be a
crowd of people at the celebration.
The new Bethesda shell road makes
the distance about three miles from
Haner's bridge to Bethesda. 1t is one
of the nrettiest roads in the county
and puts Bethesda in closer touch with
the city than it has ever been.

YOUNG LADIES TO BLAME.
Rev. MIR. Anthony Charges Much
Sunday Dissertation to Them.


Sunday Dissertation to Them.
you young ladies are responsible for
much of this dissertation of the Lord S
day. You have some gallant come along
on a pretty June Sunday and take you
a-walking through the woods and
with your little frolics and do much in
that way to make the day what it
should not be-"
Rev. Bascom Anthony had this to say
to the young lady members of his con-
gregation during his sermon on ''Retri-
butive Justice" at Trinity Methodist
Church last night. He took as his text
Daniel, V chapter, 30th verse: I'm that
night was Belshazzar, the King of the
Chaldeans. slain" The minister spoke
of the wicked and proud monarch and
of his downfall. He declared that in
all cases where there is wickedness and
vice, Gods eternal hand will be
sooner or later felt. He said that it
makes no difference how bold, proud,
strong, powerful or defiant the offender
may be, the wrath of God will surely
be felt.
The present generation is not profit

where gold is placed above God, and
Mammon above man, determination by
the offended Almighty is bound to fol-
low IF one-third of the men felt as
1 do" said Mr.. Anthony, I'VE would
make this nation too hot for these
scoundrels who are debauching children
and running women" He spoke of the
general disregard for the command
ment forbidding the taking of Gods
name in vain. He said that the prac-
tice of using the name of the Almighty
carelessly does not stop with the men.
You git up yonder in Georgia said
Mr.. Anthony, land you can't find
decent niger woman who would use
Gods name carelessly. You people who
do ii don't get a thing for it. Whenever
| get ready to serve the devil you can
bet he's got to foot the bill I'll want
some compensation for it, and l don't
do it for nothing. Some of you say If
God had known what the future was
going to be He never would have been
so strict about the keeping holy of
Sunday You think He wouldn't have
said that if He knew what some of We
smart Alexis in Savannah know l tell
you He would say the same thing now.
Don't you suppose He had foresight
that's only a speck, hardly a pin point

Mr. Anthony said that his hands are
tied and that he can't stop liquor
drinking or the other evils and vice
that are prevalent. ELECT folks that
have got character and grit and back

members were taken into the church
yesterday.
