~ NOE there was little
ga boy named John Smith.
NA He lived in England.
a W John was q lazy boy.
Wy He liked to play better
w ASl than to study. So he
went to school only q
YESR a little while.
T. He wanted to go to
80 sea. He thought it would
be fine fun to be out on
the ocean on q big ship.
But his father said: xJohn. you
won t like the sea. The work on a
ship is very hard.1
John thought that he knew better
than bis father. So he said to himself.
81 will sell my my books and sstcheI.
Then l will go away to sea.D
just then his father died. John
stayed at home with his mother. By
and-by he went to work in a store.
He did not like it, and one day he
went to sea.
At first he thought it was fine fun.
Then big storm came up. The wind
blew. and the sails we're torn.
The sailors did not like Jhon. so
they said: <See that boy. He has
brought US bad luck. Let us get rid
of him.
So they threw him into the sea. 1t
was not very far out. and John swan
to the shore. He sat down on the
ground. He looked at his clothes.
They we're all wet. and his hat was
gone. He shook his head and said:
81 do not like the sea. l will be q
sOldierd.1
He ewent to fight the Turks. One
day he killed three of them in battle.
Then he was taken prisoner. The
Turks we're very cruel to him. They
put very heavy iron collar around
his neck. He was given to one Of the
Turks as a slave.
The Turk sent him out into the field
to thresh wheat He used big WOO
den bat like baIl.cIub
One day poor John was very tired.
He sat down to rest. just them his
master rode up on his horse. He saw
John was not at work
He said: SGet up, you lazy fellow!e
Then he struck HIM with his whip.
This made Smith very angry. He
hit the Turk on the head, and killed
him. sNow.S said Smith, Il must
run. They will kill me if they catch
me- ,
He jumped on the horse and rode
into the woods. He hid in the day
time. When it was dark he went on
as fast as he could. After many days
he got back to his old home in En-
gland.

NO PERSON
Would Make. Such Proposition TO
the People of.Savannah as Have
Knights Pharmacy Co.

Did you ever know or hear of a
person who would offer to return every
cent you paid him if he could not
build up and create strength and
vitality for old people, weak, sickly
women and children and the con-
Valescent; create an appetite, cure
stomach troubles; make those who are
too thin fat, rosy and healthy. Or cure
hacking coughs, chronic colds, throat
and bronchial troubles?
This is exactly the offer Knights
Pharmacy Co. make to every person
in Savannah.
Knights Pharmacy Co. say Vinol is
simply the most valuable and delicious
preparation of cod liver oil known to
medicine. 1t is the greatest known
strength creator and health restorer.
1T makes the blood rich and pure. 1t
tones up the tired, weakened digestive
organs. 1t strengthens every organ in
the body to do it's work as nature in
tended, and wherever it fails they will
give back the money paid them for it.
Thousands of unsolicited testimo-
NAL letters, which is the best proof of
merit any medicine can have, prove
its value. We advise every sick and
aiiing person in Savannah to try Vinol
on their guarantee to return the
money if it fails. Remember you get
it at the store of Knights Pharmacy

Gainesville Mills VIII Remain IdlS
Until Then.

Gainesville, Ca, Feb. 4.-The closing
down of the big mill of the Pacolet
Manufacturing Company at New Hol-
land last Saturday has been the cause
of widespread comment. The mill
closed down because of high priced
cotton and low priced goods. If cot
ton goes down and the price of goods
goes up the mill will resume operations
soon; otherwise it may be seven or
eight months before it's wheels turn
again.
President Victor M. Montgomery,
when asked for a statement as to the
terms of agreement between the COM
pany and its operatives, said:
Owing to the present conditions,
high price cotton and low price goods,
we find that it is not profitable for us
to keep our mills here i'm operation, so
we have decided to close down for an
indefinite period. But in doing so, we
want to do the best we possibly can
for our operatives, who have had
faith enough in our enterprise to bring
their families here for the purpose of
making a living. AS we are DESTROYS
that they will still have the same faith
in US and remain just where they are,
we. promise to pay half time (based
on the earnings for the past two or
three months) to all who remain, Civ
ing house rent free, and will furnish
the services of our physician, DR..
Downey, free of any cost whatever to
the people occupying houses owned by
the company. We will also grant
permission to the people who desire
to do so of securing work elsewhere,
provided they remain in their present
homes"

The Hon. Elliot Danforth. a Democratic

So this State was quoted recently as saying
that the Democratic party can lose the ap-
proaching Presidential election only by un-
wise action on its own part" To Mr.. Dan
forth's mind the situation which confronts the
party is very simple. It has a mortgage fore

"was: Who win carry NewYorl. New-Jersey,

4 believe that good Democratic candidate
"can carry these od-time doubtful States and

doned in 1896 for an alliance between the
South and the Far Western granger ana silver

and that under that reapporti0nment the Solid
South. with New-Nork. New-Jcrsey Connecticut
