CHEROKEE BLOOD
WORTH MILLIONS

Seventy Georgians may get a COM
Portable portion of $4,000,000 of gov
eminent money by proving themsel-
YES to have the blood of the old Cher
okees of Georgia in their veins.
G. H. Wadley, special commissioner,
is taking testimony in an effort to
discover how many lawful claimants
there are to the government appro-
priation of $4,000000.
In 1876 the Cherokee Indians were
moved from their homes in Georgia,
North and South Carolina and Vir-
ginia, west of the Mississippi, and the
government took possession of their
lands. In 1906 congress made an
appropriation of $4000,000 to be paid
as reparation to the descendants of
the people,
For the purpose of finding these
descendants commissioners are now
making Investigations in North and
South Carolina and Virginia as well

CLOSING OF STORE is
SOURCE OF SURPRISE

The closing of J. P. Catos shoe

tors will be held in the Federal court
room at Macon on July 18th at which
time creditors and others will
attend for the usual procedure
in such causes. The schedule of as

It is the rarest thing in the world fol-
a man to be necessarily bald No man
whose hair is not dead at the roots, need
be bald if he will use Newbro's Herpi-
eide, the new scalp antiseptic Herpi-
eide destroys the germ that cuts the hair
off at the root and cleans the scalp Of
dandruff and leaves it in a perfectly
healthy condition. Mr.. Mannett, in the
Maryland Block, Butte, Mont, was en-
tirely bald. In less than a month Herpi-

to wish for recess to come. and with
such conditions prevailing one should
not look towards us for anything OF
great interest. We get our lessons
and get sleepy. And with the hope
that no n will take offense at a teas.

The editor remembers when ne was

taught him to love his teacher because
she his teacher loved him. And
everyIime She that is, his teachrrl
brushed the dust off his clothes he

the next time you Freshmen buckle
up against a stiff exam, remember
your teacher loves you Just the same.

months was not satisfactory, but it
should be remembered that these fig
ures represent the most unfavorable
period of development on skimmilk.
The whole milk calves from one to
three months made much better gains
and appeared to much better advan-
tage.
The growth Of the whole milk calves
from one to three months. as shown by
the measurements, was about equal. to
that from three to twelve months. The
weights, however, do not show this
same relation. as the gains from three
to twelve months were about twice that
from one to three months. The growth
of the whole milk calves for the twelve
month period was quite satisfactory.
The measurements would indicate that
the development of the framework was
largely made during this period.
