Edenfield people who bought the simple mixture of buckthorn bark, irlycerine, etc., known as Adler-i ka, are surprised at the INSTANT effect of a SINGLE SPOONFUL. This remedy is so complete a bowel cleanser that it is used sdccessfully in appendicitis. Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel and ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY CASE of constipation, sour or gassy stomach. ONE MINUTE after you take it the gasses rumble and pass out.

Augusta, Ga.,-The week of April llth to the 14th, inclusive, will be a memorable one in the his tory of Augusta and this section of the south, for then the first annual Augusta Festival, put on by the At-su-gua Week Association, will he held. What the Mardi Gras is to New Orleans and Mobile, and what Gaspariila week is to Tampa each year, Atsugua week will be to Augusta. Persons will wonder just how the organization happened to adopt such a name, and the answer is given by Col. Sanford H. Cohen, manager of the Atsugua Association, who says that Atsugua was the name of au Indian princess that lived here about when the first white settlers came, and the colonist* spelled her name backwards, and it spelled Augusta. The popular belief is that Augusta was named for princess of the reigning family in England, and tbiii is probably true, but Cohen insists on his Indian legend. During Atsugua week there will be low rates on all railroads, and many thousands of people will come to Augusta. The first day, Tuesday, April llth, will be the J time for the big civic parade and the opening of the big amphi theatre on Broad Street. There will also be aeroplane flights put on by the masters at the Wright' school. On Wednesday, tli? 12th, the big] feature will be a Ford parade, and ' many thousands of Fords are ex pected to come from all parts of Georgia and South Carolina. Be tween $500 and $1,000 will be given in prizes. Thursday there will bea decora tive floral parade with over ?500 in j prizes, and also aeroplane flights, j There will be athletic events on the1 streets and aquatic events on the! river also.
