Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Compound
THE GREAT r1EDICINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound,
Am Now In the Best of Health"
Mp AIrprn RpnMN
THE GREAT rlEDIcINE.

~~~ ~~~N
The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, M. D., IL. D., after years
OF long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion OF
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81
O'Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine MAIN
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says:-
81 acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. l had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. / was also treated by several OF
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.

A NEGRO Robbed.

An old negro giving his name
as Lawrence Magee, and who
stated that he lives on DR.. A. NJ.
Dodd's place in Franklin county,
had a tale of woe" to tell yester-
day morning. He had been held
up with a pistol by another negro,
he said, between midnight and
day break, ON jackson street,
near Judge Cassedy's residence,
and robbed of $1,000 in hard cash.
The old man said he was camping
in Hartman's store lot and went
to sleep on the platform of the
ware room. He walked up about
p O'Clock and when he did so,
two men were sitting on the plat
form near him, each with a dinner
bucket by him, when third ne
gro soon came up and asked them
if they wanted to buy some whis-
key. They answered that they
did not, but that maybe the man
lying down did. The man with
wet goods for sale, then addressed
him, and, after some hesitation.
remembering that he wanted some

directed to follow the ".slger'' tc
where he could get the whiskey and
went along with him till they
reached the point on Jackson
street above mentioned, when he
was robbed as described.
The old negro said he had
$3.50 in his pocket book, and
when he represented to the rob
Der that $3.50 of it belonged to .

lsent it by him to buy some cloth,
that amount was returned to him.
He further stated that he was up
about the compress after daylight
looking around to see if he could

he declared be could easily recog-
nize, and while there saw the two
negroes who had been near him on

vARDAMAN AT LEXINGTON.
He Lambasts Rr. Bailey Of the Baptist,
and Judge Truly.

Lexington, Aug. 18-Major
Vardaman spoke at the court house
to good crowd, though not as
large as the one which greeted
Judge Critz on Saturday. A
negro brass band aided in collect
ing the crowd.
The speech occupied two hours.
1t was the same speech deliv-
cred elsewhere except that he
made direct illusions, though
not by name, to Rev. T. j.
Bailey, editor of the Baptist, and
to Judge JEFF Turly, stating that
their chief business during the
campaign had been maligning
him, and the editorship of one and
judicial fumnctions of the other
were mere side lines.
Mr.. Bailey was born and reared
in this county and has many rela-
tives an friends, including those
who have had him for their pastor.
This will not strengthen Mr..
Vardaman in Holmes.
He at last gave his plans for the
division of the school money and
it was nothing but the repeal of
section 206 of the constitution and
thus empowering the Legislature
to distribute money between coun-
ties for schools at their discretion.
This would lead to more factions
and combinations and scandals in
the legislature than was ever be
fore heard of, as the representa-
tives from each county would try
to get as much as possible, and
what each got would be matter
of chance.

1T COSTS YOU NOTHING.
Bowditch G. Webster viii Return Your
Money if Mi-o-na Docs Not Cure
You

There are many people in Augusta
who were not the least bit surprised
when they read in the Kenncbec Jour
nal that BoWditch &; Webster are sell
| ing Altoona on a guarantee to refund
the money in case it did not cure. The
marvellous dyspepsia remedy will cure
the worst case of Indigestion, head
ache, dizziness or the general played
out condition that afilicts every one
suffering with stomach trouble.
Mi-o-na does not simply relieve: it
cures. Bowditch e. Webster can tell
you Of many well known people in
this city whom this remedy has re-
stored TO health, often after they have
tried many other methods of treat
ment with little or no benefit.
No other dyspepsia remedy has made
so large a percentage of cures as MILO
ma. 1t is so nearly one hundred per
cent. that Bowditch & Webster stand
ready to refund the price to any GUS
toner whom it does not cure.
The best kind of advertising is the
praise Of a pleased customer. AND
there are hundreds in Augusta today
praiSing Mi-o-na because it cured
them. A few months ago they could
eat nothing without wondering what
the result would be. Since using Mi
ona they eat what they want and
when they want with no fear of suf-
fering.
This medicine is III the form of a
small tablet and is very pleasant to
take. 1t is u pure medicine that speed
lily and permanently cures all forms of
stomach trouble and is the only one
that can be sold under positive guar
antee without any restriction, to re-
fund the money if it does not cure.
This is a good time to get wcN and
you ought to take advantage of Bow
ditch & Webster's offer.
