To Those Who Doubt.
THAT a majority of our buying public have implicit
faith in our advertisements is daily proved by re
sults. That there are some people in this community who
do not believe in the truth of any printed statement “goes
without saying. They are not to blame for this, perhaps,
however, “a burn child dreads fire,” you know. So an oft
humbugged buyer is shy of being humbugged again. This
store reaches out for the doubting ones, and desires to prove
to them that in all its advertising, it states facts, —only facts
—plain, pure and simple.

Again Elected a Vice President of

The State Agricultural Society has
finished its annual ses&ion at Dublin
and meets next year in Thomasville.
Judge J. H. Black, of Sumter, for
many years one of the honored vice
presidents of the Society, was again
chosen to that position. Among the
interesting addresses before the Soci
ety was one by Prof. H. E, Stock
bridge, a Sumter county farmer and
former cit’zen of Americus but now
director of the Florida experimental
station. It was upon the subject of
sugar cane, and he told the members
how to grow it and how to keep it from
fermenting in an ordinary barrel. Fill
a barrel, he said, with the moss that
grows upon the trees and run the juice
through it before cooking it, and the
syrup would keep for five years un
sealed. He said he sold a-year-old
syrup recently in barrels for GO cents
per gallon.
Robbed the Grave.
1 A startling incident, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, It is narrated by him as follows:
“I was in a most dreadful condition.
• My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk

the back and sides, do appetite—gradu
ally growing weaker day by day. Three
physicin s bad given me up. Fortunate
’ ly, a friend advised trying ‘Electric Bit

the first bottle made a decided improve
ment. I continued their use for three
’ weeks, and am now a well man. I know
J they saved my life, and robbed the grave
of another victim.’’ No one should faif

Pugnacious Birds Stand in Defense of

[ Mr. James Wilkins, of this city, tells
j a remarkable story of the fighting

field over beyond the Central Railroad
, depot. While going near a thicket
yesterday Mr. Wilkins noticed his
pointer dog as he came down on the
birds, but was more surprised when
both the cock and hen attacked him
viciously. They would dash at the dog
with the ferocity of game cocks, and
to stop the trouble and prevent injury
to the birds Mr. Wilkins called the
dog away. The pointer had run sud
denly into the flock of 20 little par
tridges, and the fight made by the old
birds was for their protection.

city hall at eleven o’clock this morn
ing. It is proposed then to discuss
the reunion thoroughly and perfect all

suggestion of a reunion and barbecue
meets with great favor, and the meet
, ing this morning will put the ball to
roiling in the right direction. To this
end let all the veterans attend the
meeting at city hall at 11 o’clock this
, morning.
