DO YOU KNOW
WHAT IS
THE MATTER?
WHEN YOU FEEL OUT OF SORTS
AND SEE THINGS WITH
A DULL EYE.
LOOK AT YOUR BLOOD
Pale Compilations, Languid Feelings,
Lowered Vitality, Need More Red
Blood. Take Pepto-Mangan.

So many people spend week after
week feeling down and out. They
never stop to think that something
really is the matter. They satisfy
themselves by saying, ooh, I am not
sick. I'll be all right tomorrow.
And. tomorrow comes again and
again. Still they feel depressed and
languid, scarcely able to- get around.
If you don't feel like yourself, you
are not yourself. If you are weak
and pale your blood needs strength
ening. You should know about Pepto-
Mangan, that famous blood tonic.
Physicians recommend it and pre-
scribe it because it contains just the
ingredients needed to make red
blood. 1t renews your energy, puts
you where you ought to be. Begin
with it today: Get the tablets if they
will be more convenient to take than
the liquid. Both have the same me-
dicinal properties. But be sure you
get the genuine Pepto-Mangan. Ask
for Guides" and be sure that the
full name, Guides Pepto-Mangan, +"
is on the package.-adv.

pLANNING HALLOWEEN.

Hallowe'en This particular word
seems to create a certain amount of
hustle and commotion, especially in
school where the daily routine is
seldom broken. With the coming of
Hallwe'en each year little bit of
fun and foolishness is permissible.
There are usually the grade parties
which are enjoyed immensely, and
this year bids fair to be no excep-
ton to the rule, for we are looking
forward to numerous planned par
ties. The eighth and tenth grades are
the only grades in the high school
which have as yet said definitely they
expect to mix with the witches and
COLLINS on that sacred eve. But Hal
Iowe'en is not yet here, and the 9th
err grades are also hoping for bit
of fun around the last of October.

the pen is mightier than the sword"
The debaters were as follows: Affir-
NATIVE, Louis Petty. Ernest Allen
and Lucius Lamar, while the mega
tive was championed by Virginia
Hollingsworth, Eleanor Hatcher and
Theodosia Hollingsworth. Splendid
points were secured on both sides,
while every speech showed evidences
of much thought and preparation.
Finally, however, after half hour S
intense interest and excitement the
Judges rendered their decision in ia
vor of the negative.

RESIDENCE. DESTROYED
BY FIRE in BRONWOOD
HOME OCCUPIED BY DR.. HOOT-
EN- BURNED IN ABSENCE OF
FAMILY. CONTENTS LOST.

The residence in Bronwood occu-
pied by DR.. C. G. Hooten, with all
the furniture and other household
effects, was burned Friday evening
about eight o'clock in the absence of
the family, who were in Dawson en-
joying picture show.
The explosion of a hanging lamp
which was left burning in the hall
started the blaze, which gained con-
siderable Roadway before being dis
covered. Heroic efforts were made
by the neighbors and large number
of citizens attracted by the alarm,
but with the equipment at hand the
fire could not be checked.
In addition to the complete de-
struction of the residence and con-
tents large number of fine chickens
were roasted.
The burned building was owned by
Mr.. William Barton, of Midwife, Ga.
1t was valued at $4,000, and was in
sured for $1,000. DR.. Hooten car
ried $500 on his furniture and on
feed stuff and other effects in an
out-building, which was also burned.
Brentwood is without fire depart
ment, and citizens saved adjacent
property by heroic work.
A warehouse containing more than
100000 worth of cotton was not
more than fifty yards from the burn
ing residence, and across the street is
ginnery valued at several thousand
