Because you have contracted ordi
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment Of any kind, DO
not for a moment Imagine that cclds
are not dangerous. Everyone knows
that pneumonia and chronic catarrh
have their origin 10 . common cold.
Consumption Is not caused BY cold
but the cold prepares the system for
the reception and development Of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found Judgment. II is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be
contracted when the child has . cold.
you will see from this that more real
danger turks in . cold than in any
other Of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way TO cure Q
cold Is to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable
cures effected BY this preparation
have made 1t . staple aaticle OF trade
over a large part o. the world. For
sale by all druggists.

County High School Graduates Pc
tition Board.

LAWRENCE, Oct. 8. In hopes Of In
auencing the board Of trustees apd
f, faculty Of the Dickinson County High
school TO change the course Of study
90 as TO admit to the state university
without conditions, the graduates o.
the D. G. H. s. who are now attend
ing the university, adopted resolu-
tions this week asking that the course
Of study be- changed at Chapman,
For the first time n the history Of the
school, the registrar has refused to
give full credit to the D. G. p. s.
graduates on the ground that sufii-
Gent time Is not spent on specified
subjects. The majority Of the p, G.
H. s. boys were conditioned three
units which means half years work.
Until the deficiencies are made up,
the students cannot participate in
athletics, debating or in any univer-
sity musical organization. In view
Of the fact that the D. G. H. $. grad
yates have always taken prominent
part in athletics as well as other or
ganizations, the decision Of the uni
versity is heavy blow. In the petit
tion to the board Of trustees, the Dick
inson students refer to Sumner coun-
ty where the same conditions have to
be met in regard to admission to the
high school.

REDEEMED CASH CHECKS.

The j. Il. King Dry Goods Company
with their we'll known enterprise, have
adopted a novel plan to advertise their
stock and induce customers to pay on
cash sales. The plan is as follows:
On the first day of each month they
will give duplicate cash check, or re-
ceipt, for all cash sales at their store
At the end of the month, they select
one day in the month and publish the
day selected, and every person holding
checks for goods bought that day can
come and get their money back, thus
getting the goods bought absolutely
free of cost.
On Saturday last, April 18th, this firm
redeemed in cash all tickets presented,
and judging from the crowded condition
of their store and the many tickets pre-
sented, they must have done fine
business, as the tickets caused lot of
cash 70 go back to their customers who
had availed themselves to make cash
purchases.
This is q new and unique feature, and
seems to be taking with the trading
public like wild-fire on prairie. The
j, X. King Dry Goods Company are al.
ways trying to please their numerous
customers, and seem to be meeting with
uccess.

Governor Hoke Smith was induced
by his friends to stop off at MARKETS.
Monday evening at 6:45 o'clock, on his
way from Dalton to Atlanta. to make q
speech.
Over two hundred men and boys were
present in front of Mr. T. W. Reads
store, where the Governor was in an
automobile, and began his speech, al.
though the court house was lighted up
for his use. The Governor, in his speech,
was frequently interrupted by hurrahs
and shouts for Joe Brown, and other
like noisy demonstrations, by some
thoughtless boys, SO we learn, as the
editor was not present. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that these things occurred, as
our citizens do not approve of any dis
courtesy to the Governor.
He took supper at the home OF Mr..
B. g. Brumby, and left on the eight
o'clock electric car for Atlanta.
The Governor as candidate seeking
Office and votes must necessarily meet
with some unpleasant things where
there is strong sentiment in favor of
his opponent as there is here.
