TAKE YOUR CHOICE.

Just take your choice. An attack of Fever,
with Quinne as the treatment means a
week or ten days ostfrom Business,
1t means ten days of sunhappiness for you
and ten days of hard work and anxiety for
those who love you. If you are poor man,
your time is worth much to- your family.
The rich man might better afford to suffer
loss of of $4,000 day, as result from
enforced absence from business, than the
poor man can lose the value of his labor.
JohnsOns Tonic has two cardinalponts that
should Immediately commend it to every
thinking man in this country.
First of all, it is harmless Absolutely
harmless. Harmless under all circum-
stances.
Second it is quick; it acts at once lingo
minutes after it's administration, it enters
the blood and begins to undo the mischief
caused by Malaria. 1t is the one great med
iClne that never dsappoints. Now take
your choice. Lie in bed for days, or maybe
weeks; and poison your digestion with Qui-
nine, and arise finally with all the life and
vim taken out of you, or use Johnson's Tonic
and be restored at once to perfect health.
No loss of vital force, No loss of flesh, No
waste of precious time. Take your choice.

the vast thrOng that crowded the
streets to send up cheer after cheer
as the pageant wound it's way to the
cemetery. The music was excellent,

almost perfect and the floral decora-
tions were exceptionally fine.

John w. Akin, Of Gainesville, who
was introduced by Judge John S. Can.
dler in a timely and welLchosen
speech. The subject of Judge
Aiken was "Commercialism and the
Confederacy," and proved a most elo-
quent and patriotic address. 1t was
cheered to tn eecho by the vast throng
Of patriotic people who had assembled
to pay tribute to the memory of the
departed heroes of the Lost Cause"
Interesting exercises were held dur
ing the day by the Atlanta Chapter,
Daughters of the Confederacy at the
state capitol. The occasion was one
Of unusual interest.

ercises were appropriately observed
