A COLD OR CATARRH
How To Get Relief When Head
and Nose are Stuffed Up.

Count fifty! Your cold in head or
catarrh disappears. Your clOgged nos
trils will open, the air passages of your
head will clear and you can breathe
freely. No more snuffiing, hawking,
mucous discharge, dryness or headache;
no struggling for breath at night.
Get a small bottle of Ely's Cream
Balm from your druggist and apply
little of this fragrant antiseptic cream
IN your nostrils. It penetrates through
every air passage of the head, soothing
and healing the swollen or infamed mu-
cous membrane, giving you instant re-
lief. Head colds and catarrh yield like
magic. Don't stay stufed-up and miser-
aole. Relief is sure. .

OF Some Valuable Trees
Five Pecan Trees Are Estimated to
Be Worth $1,000.

Mr.. ]. B. Wight, who was in Cuth-
bert recently attending Andrew col
lege commencement, being,a member
OF the board OF trustees OF that institu-

seryman. While in the city he took a
look at the five large pecan trees on
the premises OF Mr.. John D. Gum
Should you ever decide to sell YOUR
home" remarked Mr.. Wight to Mr..
Gum, you should estimate that these
five trees add $1,000 to the value OF
the place They may be expected Tor
hundred wears or more to pay a
dividend each on an estimate of $500,
which is "a reasonable valuation for
them"
Several OF these trees are a little
over 80 years old, and one OF them
has borne $50 pounds OF large nuts
in a season. Cuthbert Leader.

EvE-LIKE DRESSES

PARIS MODELS WEAR HAIR
ORNAMENTS AND SLIPPERS
AT JULIAN BALL.

PARIS.-When writing from Paris
one is always glad to discuss an item
that fits in with the popular foreign
conception of this city as one Of fas-
cinating wickedness. 1t is not often
that anything happens to justify that
reputation, so the writer cannot resist
the opportunity to mention the Julian
ball
The Julian ball is not quite so wick
ed as the quat'z arts. But the quatz
arts for 1928 has not happened yet.
And anyhow, the Julian ball was al
most Unconditional.
Americans Get Shock.
There were some American ladies
at the affair. They had arrived just a
few moments before the writer and
were lust sitting and staring and gasp
ing. They were in a state commonly
known as "fabbergasted." And this
was because some of the other female
guests-not American-Were dancing
about the floor clad in fancy head
dresses and satin slippers.
The Julian ball is given by the art
students OF Julian's academy The I'M
clothed ladies were, of course, models,
and they had simply come in their
studio costumes, with headdresses as
a concession to the natural feminine
fondness for decorations.

"Of course l know" said one of
the Americans, that these girls are
accustomed to posing in the-ah-al-

Blind Horse Causes
Excitement Yesterday

A blind horse wandering about
Water street caused much excitement
about 1910 Tuesday noon and great
good luck or a second sight was all
that saved him from plunging through
the window of the Sunbeam Bakery
The horse was observed by ped
estrians. as it wandered diagonallv
across the street from in front of the
Miller candy store. AS it is a more
or less familiar sight to see a horse
take an unpiloted trip such as this
and as people were hurrying home
to dinner no one attempted to stop
him. The horse continued across the
street and walked against Ford car
which was standing by the curb. this
being the first intimation to any one
that he could not tell where he was
going.
The shock of the impact scared the
poor beast, who Swerved and taking
another diagonal course across the
street, headed for the plato glass
window of the Sunbeam bakery. this
time going at trot. Almost as his
foot struck the sidewalk he seemed
to sense that he did not have u clear
road. and he set all four feet in an
attempt to stop. The slippery pave
ment caused him to slide however.
and the end of one shaft struck the
partition between the two windows
with considerable force. and the
horses nose brushed along the glass
as he swerved around. The glass was
not broken nor was the sleigh. the

women DISCUSS PROPOSED
SCHOOL BILL and MANY
ADVANCE VARIED OPINIONS

a short general discussion of the
proposed change in the manner OF
selecting the members of the school
board and of appropriating the
money for maintaining our schools
was held Tuesday afternoon at the
meeting of the Augusta League of
women Voters after a short history
OF the present school board. and ar
Suments for and against both sys-
TENS had been presented by Mrs.
Orrin Frost.
During the argument. Mrs. Ernest
Hewitt stated that the fact that I'M
der the proposed bill the city council
would have charge of the appropria-
ions for school affairs, met with her
approval.
Mrs b. f. Newman. said with re-
gard to the increased cost of the
maintenance of schools. which is be-
ing used as an argument by those
favoring the bill. that she had had
quite lot of experience with the
schools, through having children of
her own. and that she did not see
now any one could ask that the
School expenses be kept as low as in
preceding years when there was q
much larger registration both at
COny High and in the grammar
schools of the city.
Mrs. George II. Brickett said that
she noticed that stress was placed
upon the matter of having the
school reports ready. under the pro-
posed plan, by the third Monday in
January. and asked the reason for
this when the city reports are not
out until the middle of the year and
they are then sometimes hard to
obtain.

weight at the May meetings. 1t was
suggested that this would probably
not be the case now that the women
had taken a more active part in
politics.
Mrs. Frost in her talk said that
originally there had been four
school boards in the town, each
functioning separately. These had
been the Smith, the Williams, the
Cony Female Academy and the Ru-
raj school boards. These had raised
their own money and spent it with
out regard to the other schools of
the town. But the time came when
the four boards were combined. a
representative from each ward and
the chairman of the board of trust
ees of the Cony Female Academy,
now Cony high school.
This board is SO arranged that two
of the members are elected each
year. The money for the school
work is appropriated at the May
meeting. at which all citizens have
a right to be present and vote. But
it seems to some that they do not
have any chance to think over the
things to be voted upon. as the re-
ports are not received until just be-
fore the meeting and they do not
have chance to read them over
and assimilate them. so that the
sums which are asked for are usually
voted.
Several men of the town seem to
feel that the expenditures for the
public schools have mounted higher
than they should and they desire to
check this. So this bill was intro
duced recently by Representative
Martin. at the request of these men.
Here the text of the bill was read
by Mrs. Frost. who said that she had
conversed with a number of men on
the subject but that she could not

AS you know | am deeply interested
