It il that so many products that are or.
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself. as like
an endless chain system the remedy /.

suits, as many of my customers testify.

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact.

GREATEST WEATHER PREDICToR

The American Press took hearty crack the other day
ut # ticks who pretends to be weather prophet.
Brudder Hicks it seems, predicts the weather whole
year in advance.
1t is Just about fifty years since the United States
weather bureau established although scientists had
been carefully studying the weather and its vagares and
manifestations for many decades before that But for
fifty years trained observers and scientists thousands of
them have made observations Of all weather conditions in
every city and section Of this country minute by minute
during the full twenty four hours of every single day
They have reached into the Pacific into the Atlantic south
into Latin America, and miles into the atmosphere
above day by day. year by year. They have traced every
Storm every cyclone every tornado Pick any day since
the early 70 and they tell you the temperature the
barometer the rainfall snowfall in any section of this
country.
All Of this has not been entirely for the purpose of telling
the probabilities of the weather tomorrow Much Of
the studying and keeping of statistics has been done in
effort learn day. the secret of the weather that
definite predictions be made.
And yet-after fifty long years of the deepest study and
most exhaustive research not of these thousands of
scientists will claim that he and his colleagues the u
s. Weather Bureau predict the weather for next
week-OR EVEN THE EXACT WEATHER FOR To-
MORROW They will tell you that they only give you
the probabilities for tomorrow OF course, their probable
y prediction is usually correct but often it is not.
Nevertheless, your Hicks person. all by his lonesome
ness claims to be able tell what the weather will be

your admirable corps of assistants

ALL HONOR TO THEM

| In the "Voice of the People" Department Of The Dis
patch today there appears communication from Mr. G.
Wood calling attention to the splendid and magnfcen
personal service work rendered in behalf Of the storm
sufferers
We glad that Mr. Wood has called both the atten
ton of The Dispatch and that of the public to this gener
Gus service by the people Of the whole community All
honor to them.
1t is this commendabe spirit Of mutual hepfuness and
the spirit Of neghborines and cooperation that makes
life so well worth living in Columbus and Lowndes
county and anywhere else for that matter
We are just big community-neighbors all-and it
does require great caasrophes such theone that
recently visited us reveal this fact But such periods
of misfortune and distress only emphasize and bring
the surface these Godgven qualities Of friendness and
helpfuness.
All honor to each and every who contributed to the
relief and aid of the people who passed through the storm
and suffered from its results.

Editor Dispatch,
City.
Dear Sir:
The long list Of cash contributions
to the storm sufferers as published
in the Dispatch bespeaks the gen
erous spirit Of the people Of the town
and community; however, the cash
contributions is only a small part of
the total contributions; perhaps not
over ten per cent, and | think some
recognition is due to that small army
Of some two hundred farmers, car
penters. and laborers, who with their
dinner pals and tools, went in squads
Of a dozen or more to every farm
stead in the stricken area, and worked
for days until houses, barns and
fences were replaced, and the suf-
fcrers under shelter. The sawmills
throughout the county also contri-
buted very generously
Very truly,
c. L. WOOD.
