DANGER FROM GRIPPE
Lies in That Cough and Weak,
Worn-out Condition.

Grippe, pleurisy, pneumonia, these
are greatly to be feared at this time
of the year.
To prevent grippe from being fol-
lowed by either pleurisy or pneumo-
mia, it is important to drive the last
traces of it out of the system quickly.
Our advice is to take Vinol, our
delicious cod liver and iron prepare
ton without oil, and get your strength
and vitality back quickly.
Mrs. A. A. Grabill, Of Strasburg,
Va. says: Grippe left me weak, run
down and with a severe cough, from
which I suffered four years. I tried
different remedies, but nothing seemed
to do me any good until l took Vinol'
from which I received great benefit.
My cough is almost entirely gone, and
I am strong and we'll again, and l am
glad to recommend Vinol to others
who suffer as l did"
Try vinol with the certainty
that IL it does not beneht
you we will give back your money

Farmers of the Wiregrass Offer Big
Inducements for Labor.
Large numbers of farm laborers
have gone from Terrell to some of the
wiregrass counties, and some farmers
down there are extremely anxious
for more of them, judging by a re-
cent transaction that has been re-
ported.
A citizen of Sasser who was in
Dawson Wednesday stated that a
man from one of the lower counties
recently paid 500 for two negro
families, and moved them away to
make cotton and corn in gopher land.
Many of the farmers of this coun-
ty have made pretty heavy advances
to. secure labor, but none of them
have bought their tenants at such
fancy prices.

percentage of the officials affected
throughout the state did not know
that the law had been passed by the

of the comptroller in Atlanta from
the various court and county off

among the farmers of Terrell county
last week regarding the preservation
of many thousands of pounds of pork
that was killed just before the
weather changed to spring-like mild

In an effort to preserve their meat
farmers brought $4,000 pounds to

ried their meat to Albany and put it
in cold storage.
Much of the meat that was killed
in the early winter was lost.
