young negro named Jim Maloyd
created a panic in a negro store on
Savannah avenue last night by giving
a cigarette loaded with gunpowder to
Will Stevens to smoke. Stevens took
the cigarette in good faith and leaned
over toward a lamp, which was set
ting on a show case, to light the gift.
When the fire reached the powder there
was an explosion which blew the
lamp off the show case and filled the
house with smoke. The negroes pres
ent thought the lamp had exploded ynd
a panic ensued A warrant was sworn
,oul against Maloyd. charging him
with malicious mischief but he has
not been arrested yet.
Elder G. ". Chitty, of Lake Park,
is spending a week in Valdosta for
the first time in many years. He is
66 years of age and remembers
having hauled the first wagon-load of
goods that ever came into this place.
They were shipped from Savannah to
No. 10 on the old Gulf road and he
hauled them from there for J. B. &
G. W. Roberts. That was forty years
age and Mr. Chitty says that Valdosta
was then a beautiful ridge of un-
touched timber

YOU WILL BE ALL
SMILES AGAIN
Forget Your stomach and You'll
Have a Santa Claus Face.
HOW TO DO 1T.

II there is one thing more than all
others that will give man forlcrn
and friendless appearance and make
him morbid and cranky and dis
agreeable that thing is dyspepsia. 1t
makes one FORGET his friends and be-
come morose and irritable. He is so
wrapped up in his own misery that he
is inconsiderate of every one else. Re-
lieved of this terrible and depressing
ailment, he again becomes a good fell
low and a man among men.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are be-
yond question the most effective aud
popular remedy ever offered to the suf-
ferers of this terrible disease. The
thousands and thousands of cures they
have brought about and the enormous
increase of their sales fully attest the
truth of this statement.
They are. above all, a natural rem
edy. They possess exactly the same
properties that the gastric juices and
other digestive fluids of the stomach
possess. and they actually do the d.
gestive work of the stomach and en-
able that organ to rest and recuperate
and become sound and we'll. They act
in a mild, natural manner and cause
no disturbance in the digestive organs.
They prevent any fermentation of the
food which causes sour stomach. In
taCI, uDQeT LnelT luuuGIlC0 the subject
forgets that he has a stomach and
his resulting cheerfulness presents a
great contrast to his former dejec-
ton.
Millions of boxes OF Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets are sold annually and they
are but in the dawn of their popularity.
Every mail brings letters of thanks
giving from grateful ones who have
been cured OF this terrible disease. The
following is one of hundreds received
each week:
Rev. j r. Hoag of Wymore, Neo.,
writes For six years l have been
troubled with dyspepsia, Last fall l
became very much alarmed at some
symptoms of heart trouble and came TO
believe there was a sympathetic rela-
ton between the two diseases, or rath-
err, that the stomach trouble was the
cause of the heart disturbances. 1 hit
upon Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets for a
remedy and invested a dollar and a
half for three boxes which lasted me
three months. and 1 can eat any kind
of food l want and have a good, Wig
orous appetite. Although l am II years
old, now feel perfectly we'll and with
out being requested by anyone make
this statement as a compliment to the
virtues of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. -
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at soc box.
