During last May an infant child of
our neighbor was suffering from cholera
infantum. The doctors had given up
all hopes of recovery. I took a bottle
of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoae Remedy to the house, telling
them I felt sure it would do good if
used according to directions. In two
days time the child had fully recovered.
The child is now vigorous and healthy.

REPUBLICANS OF
THIRDJUSTRICT
May Decide not to Offer Candidate For
Congress.
REALIZE IT HOPELESS FIGHT.
Question is Left Largely With Local
Leaders.—They Know Futility of
Such an Effort and Will Probably
Not Have Candidate
It is not at all probable that the Re
publicans of the Third district will
nominate a candidate to oppose Hon.
E. B. Lewis when their convention as
sembles on August 19th. Several days
ago it was practically agreed that the
party would put up a straw man for
Democrats to riddle, but realizing the
utter futility of such effort the party
leaders are now inclined to renig in
this propssition. Col. Johnson, state
chairman, after consultation with some
of the more influential republicans in
Americus and throughout the district,
has agreed to leave the matter largely
with them. It is known that several
of the faithful followers of Hanna here
know that it would be a hopeless fight,
with absolutely nothing to be gained,
and are therefore opposed to a congres
sional campaign in the Third. This
was the expressed sentiment of some
of the leaders here yesterday.

Atlanta, July 12. —Judge E. J. Rea

After many intricate experiments,
scientists have discovered methods for
obtaining all the natural digestants.
These have been combined in the pro

united with substances that build up

digests what you eat and allows all dys
peptics to eat plenty of no n rishing food
while the stomach troubles are being
radically cured by the medicinal agents
it contains. It is pleasant to take and

167 for his competitor, W. H. Cosby.

and defeating Mr. Bell, the present
incumbent. The vote was IQ4 to 166.
G. H. Williams defeated C. C-
Brooks for coroner by 8 votes only. B.
K. Scott was elected surveyor without
