Lightning Kills Few.

In 1906 lightning killed only 1863
people in this whole country. Ones
chances of death by lightning are less
than two in million. The chances
OF death from liver, kidney or stom-
ach trouble is vastly greater, but not if
Electric Bitters be used, as Robert
Madsen. of West Burlington, la
proved. Four Doctors gave him up
after eight months of suffering from
virulent liver trouble and yellow
jaundice. He was then completely
cured by Electric Bitters. They're

kidney remedy and blood purifyer on
earth. Only SOC at w. A. Sans Drug

To Whom il Nav Concern.

Notice is hereby given that applica-
ton will be made at 10 o'clock a. NJ,
on July 18th, next before His Honor,
Judge N. A. Norris, at the court house
in Marietta, Georgia, for leave to sell
for the purpose of re-investment, that
parcel of land situated in said county
of Cobb, described as follows:
Lot No. 10 of the w. w. Mccullough
survey of the Burwell Atkinson prop
erty, described and bounded as fol

corner of said lot No. 10, thence west
334 feet to the southwest corner of

even enough to pay the state and
county taxes yearly assessed against
it. 1t is not desirable to improve the
same for investment purposes and the
undersigned's ward has not the means
for so doing. 1t is desired to invest
the proceeds from the sale of said
property in certificates of the Atlanta
Oil and Fertilizer Company, a per-
fectly solvent corporation which will
yield 6 per cent. per annum on same.
It is desired to sell said lot at private
