ONE WOMAN AMONG THE

We received letter from Waycross,
Georgia, a few days ago, from lady
who has lived there for years. She
writes us that she had been troubled
with female complaint for long

to a shadow. 1t effected her mind,
she could not remember any thing

and irritable she could hardly sleep
She described>her case as one similar
to thousands of other women, and then
ended the letter by saying she gained

better in her life, having no trace of
her former troubles, slept well and
ate her meals with relish. This
lady commenced the use of DIR.

At the school election held at this

the price to be paid for the group is
$4,000. This is considered one of
the finest properties in this district.
Mr.. Mangum will begin work on
these claims at once and calculates
to thoroughly develop them. 1t is
thought that all the Waldo group of

II is common to see the assertion in
print that the Indian fired the forests
In order to burn the trees out Of his
way to make good hunting and that
the prospector followed his example
because the trees were in his way.
Neither were such fools, for all
woodsmen know that burned forest
with its labyrinth Of fallen logs and
the thick brush which springs VI
around is about the most difficult
thing to travel through that can well
be imagined They fired the WOODS
TO burn out the underground and de.
bris which Uttered the ground. The
trees were not nearly so much in the
way standing up as they would have
been lying down. Because the woods
were fired frequently, the standing
timber was not injured except in
localities that had not been burned
over for number Of years In such
there would be heat enough produced
TO kill the standing timber There Is

the gambling games which were run

This is an utterly wrong impression.
The carnival management had no
