MRS.NEllIE MAKHAM

A nervous irritable woman, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is source of
misery to everyone who comes under
her influence, and unhappy and mis-
erable herself.
Such women not only drive hus-
bands from home but are wholly unfit
to govern children.
The ills of women act like a fire
brand upon the nerves, consequently
seven-tenths of the nervous prostra-
ton, nervous dependency, h e
"blues", sleeplessness, and nervous
irritability of women arise from some
organic arrangement.
Do you experience fits Of depression
with restlessness alternating with ex-
treme irritability 4? Do you suffer
from pains in the abdominal region,
backache, bearing down pains, nervous
dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost
continually cross and snappy? If SO,
your nerves are in shattered con-
dition and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing
in the world is better for nervous
troubles of women than Lydia +.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
made from native roots and herbs.
Thousands and thousands of women
can testify to this fact.
Mrs. Nellie Markham, of l5l Morgan
St., Buffalo, N. Y, writes:-

will be ready for business this morn ing as soon as the gates open.
 As promised by the officials the fair is finished. but there Is still much to be done in the way of Installing ex- hibits. especially in the live stock de- pertinent.
 Notice was received from the rall- roads yesterday afternoon that sey- eral shipments were en route and asked that the fair officials be ready to re- ceive these in order that they might not suffer for water and provender.

Lime and disinfectants have been scattered about freely. and prs-l venttives of all kinds will be at hand to protect the prize cattle and swine that will be brought here.
 Big Crowd Expected.
 The main attraction today at the fair grounds will be the races at o'ciock. when an excellent card will be ruh. Despite the scarcity of attractions for today, however. a large crowd is ex- pected as 1t is the first day, and ev- erybody will want to take look at the attractions on the Curve as we'll as to see the races.
 The public convenienceS in the way of restaurants and cafes are plentiful, and those who go out will have no trouble in finding plenty to eat and drink. Everything from first class Ia carte dinner to a quick lunch for 10 cents can be secured.
 Another large crowd is expected at the fair tomorrow when the Knights of the Grip will be entertained, special preparations having been made to make the day agreeable for them.

The shuttle trains will run every half hour, and will have a carry ing capacity of a thousand persons, whenever the necessity arises.

 News reached here this morning of the work of some safe blowers which occurred at Myrtlewood and Linden. Marengo County, last night. A safe in general merchandise store at Myr- tIewood was blown. and the safe of the Louisville and Nashville in the depot at Linden was also blown. In all, the cracksmen succeeded in getting away With about $500. No trace as to the direction in which they went or which safe was robbed first could be obtained here today.
 At the usual hour last night in Myr- tlewood, Mir. J. D. Carter, manager of the store owned by Carter & Brother, was closed for the night and the doors were fastened as usual. About mid night the residents of Myrtlewood heard noise resembling an explo- sion, but as heavy rain was falling at the time and there was considerable thunder, no attention was paid to this explosion.
 This morning. when Mir. Carter went to his store. he discovered that his safe was blown, and that his three days sales, amounting to nearly $500, was missing. He believes that when he closed his store last night that he lock- ed the safe blowers in, as no evidence of their having broke into the store was found this morning.
 Advices received here is that after blowing the safe in the Carter & Brother store at Myrtlewood, that the yeggmen stole a Louisville and Nash vile hand-car and rode up the road to Linden. At Linden the depot safe was blown and about $500 secured. and then made their escape. The Marengo au- thorities and L. and N detectives have taken up the case and will try and ap- preh end the safe blowers.

A year ago the officers of For
syth county were placed on a sal,
ary basis. The clerk, for in.
stance, is paid 5000 a year and
the register $500. The report
of these officers for the year end.
ing Nov .mber 80 shows that the
clerk collected in fees 1894, Ca
and the register $3,674.57. This
is a saving to the county of more
than 81, 900 from these two Off
ces alone, while the officers re-
ceive liberal salaries. Of course
the amount of fees vary in differ
ent counties. In some the fees
do not amount to more than a
fair salary, while in the smaller
counties they do not in some
eases amount to a living. But
the fees system is wrong and all
officers should be placed on a
fair salary and the fees turned
into the treasury even if a saw
ing Is not effected by the change.
