A Common Kcnte Talk.
BBlnva Ovll Lrr.
We art- frequently tol lilut the price
of the U'lil Lrafin too high, and have
the New Yore Hcrlty Wvrld, the
Atlanta Conttriution, or some other
foreign paper, whose weekly edition
Is made up from tne daily, cited to ni
as an llta-tration. When a man be
gins to argue oo that Hue we are
done. We know it will be a bone
less task trying to do anything with
bint. A H.rson with no more r asou,
and so little town and county pride as
to prefer the foreign blanket sheet
paper because it is cheaper, is not the
man we tie hunting for. But it is not
to the Ni Yoik World or the Von
tlitutioH, or any other one of th big
papers i broad, that tbey send when
tbey wNtit an obituary notice of some
dear departed friend or relative pub
lished, or that th y look in to see
some mention of Sarah Ami's mar-jirtgeai-l
other iicmt l lume neiv$
that trir.jre annu l th-m. Not
much. The big paper at a distance
cares u thing about such th ugs as
that. It has got your d iliur aud
there lht obligatioi ei ds uulil the
time for which you paid turnout, aud
and al't uit d,cs you get ni more
iwpr ui til you nd another dollar.
Rut that is all right it is buslnns
you say. But wh- n the publisher of
the home pijur who perhaps has
waited for hi- money a year of two
after working bard for it, has the
litsten i trrotitery to ask for bis Just
dins, yr u regard him as an old bear
who thinks you did not intend to
Dav him without bcine awked for it.

The rootles of death's approach are
various, and statistics eliuw conclu-
Mvely that more persons die from
Ji8-ases of tbe throat and J.ungs
than from any ether. It is probable
that every one, witnout exemption,
receives vast numbers oi luuercie
Germs into the system and where
those gern.s Ul upon suitable s il
tbey start into life and develop, at
first slowly and Is shown by a slight
tickling sensation in the throat and
if allowed to continue their ravages
they extend to their Inngs producing
Consumption and to the head, caus
log Catarrh, flow all this is dan
gerous and if allowed to proceed will
in time cause death. At the onset
you must act with promptness; al
lowing a cold to go without attention
is dangerous and may loose you your

thing is wrong with your Throat,
