LETTER TO w. p. HORHADY,
Dawson, Ga.

Dear Sir: How did you get your
business? Well tell you how we got
ours. You sell shoes, we make paint;
perhaps we can do good turn to our
selves. you and we, by swapping ex-
periences.
We began 152 years ago in a little
sbon a few-minutes walk from where
we are now: a great many things have
happened, we don't remember them all.
We made as good paint as we could
and learned to make better. We are
the Oldest now; we don't know whether
we had any teacher on not; it's SO long
400. if we had, he's gone and forgot
ten. We should have been forgotten,
if we hadn't made good paint and
friends.
You buy your shoes; you have an
advantage in that; if you make a mis-
take. you can stop it quick; If you
make a hit, you can push it quick.
We've had to go slow; it's hard to
nick ont ones own mistakes, and moth
;no Int fun to correct the mistake of
others.
You know where to go for leather
that keeps its shape, feels good, looks
Low and wears a long time. WHAT
Comfort CON it is to be comfortable from
r making ones customers comfortable!
Ii & We Also have unique advantage

REMEDY FOR HAY FEVER.
After Trying Other Treatments Mr.
Forbes Used HyOmei With
Perfect Success.


Perfect Success.
Before the discovery of Hyomei the
only advice physician could give to
hay fever patients was to go away
from home; but now if Hyomei is used
any one who is subject to this disease
can stay at home without fear OF the
annual attack of sneezing, the watery
ewes and other discomforts.
Mr.. J. F. Forbes, well-known
western railroad man of McCook,
Neb., writes: II never had any re-
lief from anv hay fever remedy even
temporarily until l discovered the
merits of Hyomei. | always recon-
mend it when occasion presents.
There is no offensive or dangerous
stomach dosing when Hyomei is used.
This reliable remedy for the cure OF
all diseases of the respiratory organs
is breathed through a neat pocket in
haler that comes in every outht, SO
that the air breathed into the throat
and lungs is like that OF the WhlVe
mountains and other health resorts
where hay fever is unknown.
The fact that the Dawson Drug CO.
and Peoples Drug Store agree to re-
fund the money to their hay fever Gus
toners if it fails to relieve should in
o.iro confdence in every sufferer.
A compile outfit costs only 81, extra
bottles SOC.

A SMALL INCREASE.

CITY Tax Values Are Slightly More
Than They Were Last Year.
Three weeks ago The News stated
mat the assessed taxed values of the
city showed decrease of S124,279 as
compared with 1905. While this was
shown by the aggregate values as
footed up on the books, revision of
the assessment figures shows that an
error had been made in the addition,
and there was really an increase of
S3,4o7 instead of a loss. The total
values in 1905 were 81, 545,612 and in
1906 they are 81, $40, O99. The value of
the property of the whites is 81, 482, sol
and of negroes $66,298.
