Near Serious Accident.

Many hearts throbbed painfully
this morning when news Of the
danger of little Amanda Bee in an
accident was heard by friends of the
family. Amanda was on her wheel
in the street when car came along
and the child hesitating which way
to turn near the corner was knocked
OF her bicycle in an unavoidable
contact, both machines being run
strictly within the law. Amanda
bravely walked home guiding her
wheel, although the nervous shock
began to tell upon her strength and
her hand was bruised and swollen.
Let this near-serious accident warn
others that too much care can not be
taken by people on wheels and In
cars.

ELECTION COMMISSIONERS
MEETING.
Will Go Over Books And Hear Com.
plants July 81.

A meeting of the Lincoln county
election commissioners will be held
at the Court House at Brookhaven
on Monday, July 21st, 1919.
The purpose of the committee is
to go over the poll books Of the coun-
ty and hear any complaints by can
didates or voters that may be
brought to their attention.
There has been good deal of talk
about some voters living in one dis
trict and voting in another. We sug-
gest as good plan that if there is
any liability Of any persons being
challenged along this line or any
other at the polls that the matter be
brought before us now SO that we
can adjust 1t before election day.
If anyone has any reason to doubt
their eligibility to take part in the
coming elections 1t will be a wise
plan for them to see US or send q
representative to act for them.

Youngest Child Of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
w. Ard Dies. -t

On yesterday afternoon at fve-
thirty the funeral services in men,
ory Of George, the youngest child of
Mr.. and Mrs. George w. Ard were
conducted at the Presbyterian
church, DR.. w. H. Hill, the former
pastor of the young girl, officiating
and being assisted by DR.. s. c. Cald-
well, of Hazlehurst, Revs. ]. A. Tay-
lor and w. H. Lewis, of Brookhaven.
Beautiful flowers decorated the
chancel and music with its divine
influence was given by chorus of
young voices of the Presbyterian
Sunday School, led by Mrs. I. L. Par
sons. Mrs. Parsons, accompanied by
Miss Mary McNair, gave a vocal solo
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" which
touched tenderly the bereaved rela-
tives and friends of the little girl
who in the freshness and beauty Of
youth has passed to where age can
not blight nor sorrow destroy.
George was born and reared in
Brookhaven and was always a dain-
ty, darling little girl, beloved by ev-
cry member of the family as perhaps
few children are loved, and claiming
many friends among her associates
at the Public School and in the
church Of her choice, where each
Sunday she attended services with
her devoted father.
The hand Of death was laid upon
the child when she was attacked
by typhoid fever thirty-four days
previous to her demise. Twice the
past winter she had suffered with In
Auenza and two weeks before her
last illness she had been weakened
BY suffering so that her physical
condition was not calculated to. with
stand the rayages Of the malignant
typhoid.
Everything was done to obviate
the blow that has fallen. But the
mystery Of life SO young and fair
and mising-remoyed the mys-
terry Of Iove-longing in vain; the
mystery Of death-remain and can
not be explained until further on our
spiritual sight shall see and UNDER
stand. We see through glass dark
ly-but then face to face.
After the tender and sympathetic
words spoken by Mr.. Hill at the
church in the presence OF large
company Of friends, the precious
body was laid away at RosehiIl Gem
etery. Beside the sorrowing parents
there are left to mourn in the Inn
mediate family, two sisters, Misses
Polly Cora and Mary and brother.
Matthews, who came from New York
TO be with his loved little sister in

was about fourteen years Of age.

MILLIONS OF CATARRH
GERMS AFL0AT IN THE AIR

of treating merely the symptoms Of
the disease, and overlooks its cause
You may use sprays, douches,
washes, olnments and jeIIies by the
gallon, and the best you can pos
slbIy expect from such treatment is
mere temporary relief. But what
you want IS some permanent pro-
gress toward ridding yourself of the
disease, and this you cannot hope
tor until you use a treatment that
goes direct to the cause of the dis
ease.
You must realize that Catarrh is
more than a mere local irritation
that stops up your nose and irritates
your throat and chokes up your
breathing apparatus. Merely clear
ing these up temporarily with strong
solutions of sprays and other local
treatment, does not in the least ef-
feet the real cause of the disease.
Your blood is saturated with Ca
tarrh germs, and these will continue
their irritating attacks as long as
they remain in the blood.
The only sensible treatment,
therefore, is the one which will rout
the disease germs from the blood.
That is why the most satisfactory
remedy for Catarrh is S. S: S., the
famous old reliable blood purifier.
5. 5. S. has been used successfully
for Catarrh for more than fifty
years. and it is the one remedy that
attacks the source of the disease,
cleansing the blood thoroughly, and
eliminating from it every trace of
disease germs.
If you want a remedy that goes
direct to the seat of the disease,
begin to take S. S. S. today, and
throw away your atomizers and
other local treatment that cannot
possibly reach your Catarrh. You
will be delighted after giving this
remedy trial, and will soon find
yourself on the road to a complete
recovery. S. S. S. is sold by drug
gists everywhere.
Begin its use today, and write
for free medical advice about your
own individual case. Address Chief

Atmosphere is Laden
With Germs of the
Disease.

Every person afflicted with Ca
tarrh releases millions of the tiny
disease germs with every cough or
sneeze, so that whenever on the
street cars or street or other public
place you see a person afflicted
with this disease hawking and
coughing and sneezing, everyone in
their vicinity Is exposed to the dis
ease.
You along with everyone else will
find yourself exposed to the germs
of Catarrh several times every day.
The germs multiply by the millions.
and the air you breathe is thick
with tiny little disease demons that
cause so much distress and suffer
ing.
Some people will readily resist
the disease, while others will
promptly succumb and soon find
themselves within its relentless
clutches. When everyone is equal
ly exposed. it is merely a matter
Of keeping the system in such a ro-
bust and thoroughly healthy condi-
ton that the germs of the disease
cannot find lodgment. You will
then be able to throw off the at
tacks of the germs and escape their
efforts.
Catarrh is one OF the most stub
born diseases. and is always worse
in cold. damp and disagreeable
weather. 1t should not, however,
be considered incurable, though
there are thousands afflicted with it
who are doubtless ready to believe
that a cure is impossible. because
of their experience.
But like all other Affections, the
main trouble is that Catarrh is en-
tirely misunderstood, and therefore
treated in the wrong way. Because
these little germ demons attack the
delicate membranes of the nose and
throat. choking up the air passages
and irritating the tender lining of
the nostrils and bronchial tubes, the
average sufferer makes the mistake
