CATARRH
Severn! years ago my blood was bad
and I had in addition a dreadful case of
Catarrh. My nose was stopped up. I
had headaches, ringing noises in my
ears and felt unfit for work. I com
menced the use of S. S. S. on the recom
mendation of a friend, and in a short
time it cured me sound and well. Itput
my blood in good condition and I have
never had the slightest return of the
Catarrh since that time.

DANGEROUS
Catarrh is usually regarded as nothing more serious than a bad cold or
•li*ht inflammation of the inner skin and tissues of the head and throat,
when it is, in fact, not only a vexatious and troublesome disease, but a com
plicated and dangerous one. It is true that Catarrh usually begins with a
cold in the head, but when the poisons, which are thrown off through the
secretions, find their way into the blood, it becomes a constitutional trouble
thai'affects all parts of the body. It has more annoying and disgusting symp-
tortb than any other disease. There is a sickening and offensive discharge
frotp the nostrils, a constant buzzing noise in the ears, headaches and pains
in the eyes are frequent, while filthy, tenacious matter drops back into the
throat requiring continual hawking and spitting, and in certain stages of the
disease the breath has an odor that is very offensive. Catarrh is worse in
Winter, because the cold weather closes the pores and glands, and the pois
ons and unhealthy vapors which should pass off that way are thrown back
on the tender linings and tissues, causing the inflammation which starts
the unhealthy secretions to be ab
sorbed by the blood. When the blood
.becomes diseased with this catarrhal
matter all kinds of complications may
'be looked for. As the blood circu-
jlates through the body the foul mat
ter finds its way into the stomach,
(ruining the digestion and producing
(Chronic Dyspepsia, or Catarrh of the
jptomach. It also affects the Kidneys,
Bladder and other members of the body, while the general health is weak-
S ied, appetite lost and the patient feels despondent and half sick all the time.
ut worst of all, if the trouble is not checked the lungs become diseased from
the constant passage of poisoned blood through them, and Catarrh terminates
in Consumption, the most fatal of all diseases. You cannot get rid of Ca
tarrh by treating it with sprays, washes, inhalations, etc., because they only
reach the membranes and tissues, while the real cause of the trouble is in the
blood. These relieve the annoying symptoms for a time, but the poison is
all the while getting a stronger hold on the system and when they are left
off will manifest itself in worse form than before. S. S. S. is the greatest of
all blood purifiers, and when it has cleansed the blood, thimpure, rich stream
circulates through the body, canying healthful properties to the diseased
'parts. Then the inflamed membranes and tissues begin to heal, the dis
charges cease, the general condition of
the system is strengthened, everyone
of the annoying and disgusting symp
toms pass away, and the patient is left
in perfect health. S. S. S. is the best
remedy for Catarrh. It goes right into
the blood and removes all effete matter
and catarrhal poison and cures the dis-
|ease permanently, and at the same time builds up the entire system by its fine
tonic eflect. S. S. S. is a purely vegetable remedy—non-injurious to the sys
tem and a certain, reliable cure for Catarrh. Catairh sufferers will find our

Three Things to Consider
In Buying a Stove or Range
annoying- NEGRO ASSAULTS GIRL
AND CUTS HER THROAT
Found Lving
In House In Pool
Of Blood.
ARMED POSSE IS IN PURSUIT
PURELY VEGETABLE.
Quality, Economy, Price.
First—A Range or Stove that isn’t made of the very best material will soon crack
—it no longer cooks well, your money was wasted and yoa are diss tisfied.
Second—The Range or Stove that is built so that the heat escapes through un
necessary apertures, consumes twice as much fuel as the one properly built, then
your fuel bill is too heavy and you are uot satisfied.
Third—Don’t yield to the common fallacy that the article sold for the fewest
dollars is the cheapest. If a cooking apparatus isn’t built for a long life, it isn’t !
cheap at any price. Its not what you pav fo'- a thing that counts, its what you
j^eHoi^om^uone^
Fourth—Our celebrated Leader Stoves and Matchless Ranges are especially st.ong
on these points—in fact, all points pertaining to stove perfection—made of the best
material, don’t crack, will cut your fuel bill to half, consequently the most economi- ;
cal. They are worth every dollar you pay for one. It is quality that’s considered
—not cheapness.
Come let us sell you one, as the present price is a very small consideration, but
they are sure to go higher, as you well know, everything is advancing.

Negro Escapes, But Party'of Enraged
Citizens is Organized to Search for
Him—Bloodhounds Are Put on the
Trail.
Atlanta, Jan. 31.—At noon Wednes
day neither the city nor the county
police nor tiie posse of armed men and
dogs who hud set out Tuesday night
on the a ail oi the negro assailant of
Mrs. Nina May Dupree, on the Mc
Donough road, had struck any trail.
At 3 o’clock Wednesday morning
Marshal Ryan, of Oakland City, who
had got hold of bloodhounds from Fort
McPiierson, told the family of W. H.
Grogan, with whom the young woman
was staying, that he had struck a trail
near Lakewood. Since then nothing
has been heard from him.
Dr. Charles A. Henson, who is at-
tendinig .Mrs. Dupree, said Wednesday
that she would recover from the wound
on her throat. She was cut in front
of the throat a id the gash went to the
windpipe, causing a painful wound.
Mrs. Dupree, who is 19 years old,
formerly lived in Tallassee, Ala., and
her mother is Mrs Mattie Collum.
Three years ago while an operative in
the mills at t’olur.ibus, the girl mar
ried Melton Dupree, one of the bosses.
Subsequently they went to Texas and
lived on a ranch, in August, 1904, the
girl returned home, and learning later
that the Grogans needed a housekeep
er, she went to work for them four
weeks ago.
For the past two or three days the
girl had he* n ill. Tuesday Mr. Gro-
-a was in town on the jury, and Mrs.
Grogan and her .daughter, Mrs J. F.
Baggett, had also gone to town.
About 1:30 o’clock neighbors saw
Mrs. Dupree go to a mail box on the
road. At 3 o’clock Grogan returned
home, and found Mrs. Dupree lying
on the dining room floor in a pool of
blood. He thought she was dead.
According to the story that Mrs.
Dupree tells, she returned from the
mall box to the house and started
through the kitchen to the dining room
to get some sugar. Just as she start
ed into the dining room and stood on
the threshold of the door, a negro sud
denly appeared before her.
Mrs. Dupree has no distinct recol
lection of the appearance of the negro.
He was tall and black, and she thinks
he wore a dirty white shirt.
She remembers that he dealt her a
blow on the forehead, whether with
his fist or something else, she does
not remember. She fell and became
unconscious. She doesn’t remember
what she was cut with. She saw no
knife in the negro’s hand, although
she remembers a stinging sensation
at her throat.
County and city police and citizens,
with dogs, soon got on the trail, and
scoured the woods all night for the
culprit.
Tuesday night Mrs. Dupree thought
that she was going to die, and she
asked Rev. F. Daniel, of the Orchard
Knob Baptist church, who had called,
to pray for her.
Shadow of the Stork Causes Presideni
To Pardon Woman.
Atlanta, Jan. 31.—President Roose
veil has again proved in a very prac
tical way his indorsement of mother
hood by the pardoning of Mrs. Dora
Campbell Harman, lately postmistress
of Maysville, Ga. Having ^ome Iron
ble in regard to the funds of the post-
office, she was arrested and sentenced 4
to pay a fine by Judge Newman and
also serve six months’ imprisonment
Ji jail. When acting as postmistress,
she was Miss Campbell, and when the
inspector on examining her accounts
discovered the shortage, she offered to
pay all of the ready money she had
and to make good the remaining dif
ference as soon as possible,
was in 1903.
She failed to make the payments :
and square the deficiency, as she had '
promised, and when again brought
before Judge Newman, she was sen
tenced to jail in Gainesville. After her
indictment, Miss Campbell married a
young man ir Atlanta by the name
of Harman, and whim serving her sen
tonce in the Gainesville jail, it was
found that she was in a delicaate con
dition. Information of this reached
Hon. Fletcher M. Johnson, of Gaines
ville, who immediately drew up a pe
tition for pardon, which received the
indorsement of Judge Newman and
United States Attorney Carter Tate.
This petition was forwarded to Presi
dent Roosevelt, and the jailer at
Gainsville was immediately ordered to
release his prisoner. As a result,
Mrs. Harman is again in the full en
joyment of liberty.
