BraoDon’s Ice Cream
It costs us more to
give our patr<5ns Bran
non’s Cream than it
would if we made our
own Cream and conse- [
quently our profit is
smaller; but it is a satis
faction to us to [know
we are giving you the
best product that money |
can buy. Brannon’s |
Cream is favorably |
known all over South '
and North Carolina. If I
it were possible to get |
*
better Cream thanjBran- |
non's, you can bank on
it we would get it. Try
Brannon’s Cream; if you
are not delighted simply
tell the boy to charge it
to the house. Is that
fair? : : : :

KIDNEY JROUBLES
(■creasing Among Women, Bat
Sufferers Need Not Despair
THE BEST ADVICE IS FREE
Of all the diseases kno*vn, with which
the female organism is afhicted, kidney
disease is the most fatal, and statistics
show that this disease ia on the increase
among women.
Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham s
Vegetable Compound is the most effi
cient treatment for chronic kidney
troubles of women, and is the only med
icine especially prepared for this
purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a
sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means of
saving her life.
For proof, read what Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs.
Sawyer.
“ I cannot express the terrible suffering I
had to endure. A derang ment of the female
organs developed nervous prostration and a
serious kidney trouble The doctor attended
me for a year, but I kept getting worse, until
I was unable to do anything, and I made up
my mind I could not live. I finally decided
to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound as a last resort, and I am to-day a well
woman. I cannot praise it too highly, and I
tell every suffering woman about my case.”
—Mrs. Emma Sawyer. Conyers, Ga.

WILL CAMP AT CHICKAMAUGA
Georgia State Troops Will Go Into
Summer Encampment.
Atlanta, May 9.—Georgia's troops
wdll go into the summer encampment
this year at Chickamauga Park, be

The adjutant general’s office has re

of cost and time suitable for the en
campment of the Georgia militia, and
Assistant Adjutant General Scott, af
ter figuring out the cost estimates,
will reply that the dates mentioned
In August will be most suitable.
It has not been definitely settled yet
by the war department just how many
Georgia troops will be allowed to go
into the encampment, but It is stated
at the adjutant general’s office that
this sate will send every man the war
department authorizes.
The government’s appropriation for
the militia instruction encampment
this year la about $700,000, which
amount is to be divided between five
camps. The department of the gulf
gets one-fifth and will hold its encamp
ment at Chickamauga. All the states
in this department will participate,
hence it Is that Georgia will have to
make up her quota of troops according
to the war department’s allowance,

department.
The encampment last year was a

held at Manassas, Va. ’fhe Chicka
manga encampment is expected to out
class the Manassas affair in every de
tail, on account of the experience the

Correct Clothes For Gentlemen!
r-TX-TT-^S. ‘ ~1 9 I
There are a good many men in this town who are paying more for their Clothes than they need
to- The custom-tailor habit is hard to break. But when you stop to think that thousands of wealthy
business men, club-men, society-leaders in the big cities are breaking the “tailor-habit”--buying
first-class “ready” garments instead, you have to admit there’s reason for it. The reason is simply
Better Clothes. The Best of a 1 “ready” Clothes are “Schloss” Clothes.
