Avoid Extreme Fatigue.

Exercise that brings into action ev-
cry muscle Of the body is absolutely
necessary in the attainment of health
and perfect physical development.
Tired brain workers especially
need exercise to renew the supply of
blood in the brain, for new blood will
give clear thought and new ideas.
To avoid that "all in feeling after
any violent or unusual exercise
Sloan's liniment should be used as a
rundown.
Mr.. Harry K. Gilman, instructor
of athletics, All Warren street. Rox-
bury, Mass, writes: During my
connection with athletics and ath.
letes will say that have used Sloan's
Liniment in extreme cases OF fatigue
after physical exertion, where an or
binary rub would not prove benefi
cial, with splendid success. I hav,
also used it in massaging elderly mer
afflicted with rheumatism.

EUFAULAPOSTOFFICER ROBBED
Safe Blowers Get $4,000 in Cash
and Stamps. Four Men Who
Were Arrested Released.

Mr.. R. D. Thomas, who was in
Dawson from Eufaula a few days
ago, reported that burglars had
blown open the safe of the EufauIa
postoffice and robbed it of about $500
in money and $4,000 in stamps.
1t was thought that four men were
implicated in the affair, and suspi-
cion rested on three white men,
strangers, who We're seen at Carne-
gle, in Randolph county They went
to Cuthbert and were arrested by
the policeman and locked up. The
men were able to give a satisfactory
account Of their movements for two
or three days previous to the robbery
and were released after parties from
Eufaula had interviewed them. At
last reports no further arrests had
been made.

HOW is YOUR STOMACH?
Easy Way to Strengthen 1t and Get
Well.

A good digestive system, one that
acts so that you do not know you
have stomach, is Gods birthright
to every man-to every woman.
If digestion is weak. if food turns
into gas, if you suffer after eating,
if you are sleepless, nervous, out OF
sorts-then the stomach is diseased,
and prompt action should be taken
w. A. Ennis, well-known builder
in Syracuse, tells an easy way to
strengthen the stomach and get well
when he writes: 'Mi-o-na Stomach
Tablets have done more for me in one
week than all the doctors the two
years l was under their care. Thanks
to Mi-o-na, can work once more,
the first time in over year"
1t is an easy thing to strengthen
the stomach and cure indigestion by
using Mi-o-na. Get a fifty-cent bot

no end of suffering. The lack OF

There is none upon which their in

therefore, if it be their will that the

This question is more important

as often as he deems expedient, to
use it as hobby horse to serve his
political purposes and thereby tend to

The Georgian Is Satisfied.
In commenting on Candidate
Browns reply to it's inquiry the Geor-
gian says:
1T is clearly to be seen that if Mr..
Brown is gentleman of his word
in the event of his election he will
not sign any bill that would give the
saloon back to Georgia.
Mr.. Brown refers to his record of
lifetime. The Georgian has, since
the beginning ~ Mr.. Browns candi-
dacy, watched carefully for informa-
ton bearing on the gentleman's rec
ord. We have failed thus far to find
where it has been inconsistent with
his present stand.
Some of Mr. Browns most ardent
opponents have poured out bitter at
lacks upon him, but they have pre-
sented only ipse dixit, which, being
interpreted, means 'T-say-so-testimo-
ny, and the attacks were made evil
