Ever a welcome visitor in Americas,

odist church here, Rev. Basccm An
thony has been cordially greeted by
hundreds of friends during his visit OF
three days having come to deliver last
Sunday the sermon for the closing e.
cruises of the Agricultural college.
Il am always glad to get back TO
Americus," Mr.. Anthony said yester-
day 1T is not only one of the best
little cities in the South and one that
is showing marvellous growth and de-
velopmet, but as an abiding place, as a
home, it is unsurpassed, and some
day l will again claim it as home"
DR.. Anthony, several years ago, pur-
chased a farm of 200 or 300 acres be-
tween Americas and Plains, in an ideal
section of the county Lands were
much cheaper then than at this time,
and Mr.. Anthony has seen the value
of his farm increase greatly since he
has owned it, 1t proved an excellent
investment.
when l get too old to preach l am
coming back to the farm" he said yes
terday. q love the quiet life, and am
going to build a pretty cottage out up
on my farm, where l can raise chick
ems of the yellow-leg variety, so dear
to the heart ministerial, and have my
cows and pigs, fruit and vegetables 1t
will be treat to live that way"
Mr. Anthony is an enthusiastic fan
and there are many who believe that
his presence at the ball game Monday
afternoon turned the ill-luck of the
local team. Il told them that l would
root out that hoodoo, and did it" he
said laughingly, "and now l am going
home, and to work again"

FOR A GOOD DIGESTION
A Local Druggists Suggestion.

1t has been said the body is like ..
machine and digestion and elimina-
ton of food are the two great fac
tors to health.
If the digestive organs are weak,
the stomach overtaxed, waste matter
accumulates in the systematic liver
gets sluggish and the blood becomes
thin and devitalized.
We want to ask every person in
this vicinity who is troubled with in
digestion of a weak, WORKOUT stom-
ach to try our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic, Vinol.
We know it will strengthen and
tone up the weakened, tired and
overtaxed nerves of the digestive or
gans, create a hearty appetite, and
replace weakness with strength.
We just heard of a case of a man
in Oneonta, N. Y, who suffered form
bad stomach trouble for fifteen
years and had become so weak he
could hardly walk-who was cured
by Vinol
Try a bottle of Vinol and if it fails
to help you we will give back your
money. Murray & Hooks Pharmacy,
