MIR. G. b. BROWN DEAD.
Passed Away Rather Suddenly Thurs
day Morning.


Mr.. Girard B. Brown died at his
home on Stonewall street Thursday
morning from dyspepsia. While he
had been sick for several days he was
not thought to be in serious condi-
ton, and his death came as surprise
to his family and friends.
The funeral services were conducted
Friday morning by Rev. O. F. Cook
at the late home of the deceased, af
ter which the remains were inferred
in Cedar Hill cemetery.
The deceased was ~ years of age,
and was generally esteemed by his
acquaintance for his honesty and
strict integrity.
Besides an aged mother, sister
and three brothers, all of whom reside
in Sumter county, Mr.. Brown is sur
vived by wife and three children,
and to these the sincere sympathy of
many friends is extended.

A Tried and True Friend.

One Minute Cough Cure contains
not an atom of any harmful drug, and
it has been curing coughs, colds,
Group and whooping cough SO long
that it has proven itself to be tried

used it. Mrs. Gertrude E. Fenner,

1887 PIECES OF MAIL
The Five Rural Carriers Going Out
from Dawson Have Handled That
Number the Past Quarter.

Rural delivery il Terrell county
furnishes a splendid service to the
farmers, as shown by figures just com
piled by Postmaster Alexander. The
figures also show that the free deliv-
cry Of mail to citizens in the county is
ACCOMPLISHED at some little expense to
the government. 1t cost Uncle Sam a
little more than a cent each for every
piece of mail, including newspapers
and letters, carried from the local
postoffice to Terrell farmers during
the months of January, February and
March.
During the quarter ending April 1st
the five rural carriers from the Daw-
son Office delivered 1871 pieces as
follows: Number l, IA, l56; number ,.
y, 622; number 3, 1859; number 4.
Ii, Isl; number 5, 16, $40. This service
cost in carriers salaries 1910.
1t will be seen from this what
great convenience rural free delivery
is to the farmer. 1t is being patron
lied and enjoyed more fully every
month. 1t is a service to which the
farmer is certainly entitled, and it's
reasonable expansion is owed him by
Uncle Sam.

Letter to S. w. Arnett, Dawson, Ga.

Dear Sir: You ask how many
square feet gallon will cover. De-
ponds on condition of building.
There is a great deal of lying on
this point. The stock claim of lying
paints is 300 square feet, two coats.
It's lie, as rule.
Devoe covers 300 to 500, our agents
think We think 300 too low and 500
too high; though doubtless they both
occur.
How much the other paints cover is
equally doubtful we guess 100 to 400.
The truth is found in another COM
parison Devoe is all paint, true
paint, strong paint, and full measure;
the others in general are, at the best,
diluted, adulterated and short-uieas-
ure. They cover according to body
and measure. You can't paint with
clay, lime, chalk, sand, barytes,
water or air-no body in them. Go by
Devoe. Yours truly,
6 f, w. DEVOE & Co

WHAT is CATARRH ?
HyOmci Cures This Common and
DisagPceable Disease.


DisagPeeable Disease.
Hyomei cures catarrh by the simple
method of breathing it into the air
passages and lungs. 1t kills the germs
of the catarrhal poisons, heals and
soOthes the irritated mucous mem
brane, enters the blood with the oxy-
gen and kills the germs present there,
etfectually. driving this disease from
the system.
If you have any of the following
symptoms catarrhal germs are at
work somewhere in the mucous mem
brane of the nose, throat, bronchial
tubes or tissues OF the lungs:
Offensive breath HuSkinesS of voice
Dryness of the Discharge from the nose
Pain across the eyes Stoppage Of the nose at
Pain in the back of the night
head Aching of the body
Pain in front Of the Droppings in the throat
head Mouth open while sleep
Tendency to take cold ing
Burning pain in the Tickling back of the
throat palate
Hawking to clear the Formation of crusts in
throat the nose
Pain in the chest Dryness of the throat in
A cough the morning
Stitch in side Loss of strength
Losing OF flesh Spasms of coughing
Variable appetite Cough short and hack
Low spirited at times ing
Raising of trothy mu- Cough worse nights and
cous mornings
Elk pectorating yellow Loss in vital force
matter feeling of tightness
Difficulty in breathing across the upper part
Frequent sneeZing of the chest
Hyomei will cure the disease, de-
sstroy activity of all germ life in the
respiratory organs, enrich and purify
the blood with additional ozone, and
after few days use of this treatment
the majority of these symptoms will
have disappeared. In few weeks the
cure will be complete.
Catarrh or catarrhal colds cannot
exist when Hyomei is used. This is a
strong statement, but the Dawson
Drug Co. emphasizes it by agreeing
to refund your money if Hyomei does
not cure.
