OF Interest To women.

To such women as are not seriously out
of health, but who have exacting duties
to perform, either in the way of house
hold cares or in social duties and func-
lions which seriously tax their strength,
as well as to nursing mothers, DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has proved most
valuable supporting tonic and invigorat-
ing neryine. BY its timely use, much
serious sickness and suffering may be
avoided. The operating table and the
surgeons knife, would, it is believed,
seldom have to be employed if this most
valuable woman's remedy were resorted
to in good time. The "Favorite PreScrip-
tion"ha proven a great boon to expectant
mothers by preparing the system for the
coming of baby, thereby rendering child
birth safe, easy, and almost painless.
Bear in mind, please that DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is not secret or
patent medicine, against which the most
intelligent people are quite naturally
averse, because of the uncertainty as to
their composition and harmless character,
but is a MEDICINE OF KNOWN COMPOSE
TIoN, a full list of all its ingredients being
printed, in plain English, on every bottle
wrapper. An examination of this list OF
ingredients will disclose the fact that it is
non-alcoholic in its composition, chemic-
ally pure, triple-refined gIIycerlne taking taxing
the place of the commonly used alcohol,
in In its makeup. In this connection it
may not be out of place to state that the

JOHN PIcKaEN LOSES his LiFE.
Kode into River and Was Drowned
While Eordinu River.

"i'iiO vi NiH9 RiNSTs
Mt. Vernon, Ca, Aug. John Pick
ren, of Daisy, Tattnall county, was
drowned at the public ferry house of
the Oconee river, near Ochwalkee, on
last Saturday night, and his body was
not recovered until Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Pickren was visiting relatives
at Glenwood on the west side of the
river. Saturday afternoon he desired
to come to Mount Vernon to transact
some matters Of business, and procur-
ed a team from Cola B. Browning, of
Glenwood. He came to Mount Yer
non in the afternoon
The ferryman met Mr.. Pickren half
way between town and the river.
When Mr.. Pickren- reached the river
the fiat had been left on the west
bank by the ferryman, and the sup
position is that he drove the horse into
the river, not realizing what he was
doing.
The horse, after going some dis
tance in the water, turned to swim
back to the shore, and in some way
got loose from the buggy and left
the buggy in the water. The water
almost covered the top of the buggy
at the point where it was found. The
horse reahced the bank and was found
Sunday morning feeding near the point
where the buggy was found in the wa
ter, but Mr.. Pickren could not be
found
Searching parties were out all day
Sunday and Monday until after noon
when his body came to the surface
under some willows near the place
where the buggy was standing.
Mr.. Pickren was a stranger here,
but rumor says that his only fault
was his inclination to indulge too
freely in strong drink.
