THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful It Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybod knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis

Charcoal is a remedy that the more

gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out Of the system.

These girls live at distance and to

Rather than do this and perhaps

VINOL'S RELIABILITY
Countless Physicians Join With FIR.
Parker in Recommending VinOI.

Countless physicians and druggists are
now prescribing and indorsing Vinol as
the most valuable cod liver preparation
known to medicine, and it is fast super
seding all other forms OF cod liver oil.
A prominent physician writes: II am
satisfied that Vinol derives it's W onderful
life-giving and strengthening power
from the medicinal curative elements
found in the Gods liver. 1t is the best
strength creator and vitalizer for old
people, weak women, children, and the
convalescent that l ever saw"
Another physician writes: 81 could
cite many cases where health has been
restored in surprisingly short time by
Vinol. | should be very sorry to have
to do without Vinol in my practice. 1t
has no equal for hard colds, throat and
bronchial troubles
Now when we tell you that we have
never sold in our store a remedy OF
such remarkable curative and strength
creating power as Vinol, for the weak,
the sick and the aged ,..and that if it fails
to accomplish what we say it will we
will refund your money without question
no ailing person should hesitate to try
Vinol with such an understanding.
In Eases where cod liver oil, emulsions
and other tonics fail, Vinol will heal
strengthen and cure W. W. Parker

Died Suddenly.

William Davis, colored, died sud-
denly at Mayor Southerland's livery
stables, where he was employed,
Tuesday night. He had not been we'll
for some time but kept at his work
and was not supposed to be a victim
of any fatal malady. Going on an
errand he returned to the stables
and complained OF feeling badly.
Soon he fell over and expired in a
short while, supposedly of heart
trouble
William Davis-"Tub," as he was
known to many-was about 60 years
old. He had been with Mr.. Souther-
land II or II years as foreman or
manager at the stables and was
faithful in service and loyal to the in
terests of his employer. His place
will be hard to fill and Mr.. Souther-
land is grieved at his death. Polite
and accommodating, truthful and
trustworthy, "Tub," had the respect
and confidence of all who knew him.
The taking off Of the old man, sud
den as was, carries sorrow to the
hearts of many of his white friends
as we'll as people of his own race.

afternoon and were discharged with
the thanks and communication of
the Court.
Following is the report OF the
grand jury:
We have sent a committee to the
County Home, and find that there are 8
white, and colored inmates. They all
say that they are properly cared for and
speak in the highest terms Of Mr.. Huff,
the superintendent. The buildings are all
in good repair except the main building,
which needs possibly 500 repairs. We

fine and in good condition, and nice
crop of corn possibly so barrels; garden
in good condition, mich cows all fat
and plenty good milk for the inmates.

all the prisoners say they have plenty to
eat, and that Tailor Falkner is kind and
good to them
We have examined the Register Of
Deeds, Clerks, County Comissonsrs' and
Sheriff's Offices. and find them clean and
well kept. The court house has recently
been painted and is clean.

In Mr.. u. T. Turner they are fairly good.

badly. Mr.. W. J. Hoyle says his roads
are in good condition and have been well
worked. Mr. Richard Faulkner states

perfect training and seeming human
intelligence displayed by the dogs

was wonderful. The japanese aero
bats-a man and three small boys

The attendance was only fairly
