Boho, who resides at 348 Oak Street, Ath ens, Ga:, one of the. most highly re spected women of that community: "Dreco is unparalleled for relieving pain, sickness and suffering. No one knows how I suffered from that awful catarrh of the head, nose and stom ach, and the collection of mucus in my stomach, which nauseated me and caused vertigo and ringing noises in my head that nearly drove me mad. When I rose in the morning I almost vomited from the droppings that would cause me to gulp and swallow. My throat and tonsils became raw? all swollen and red. I felt miserable all over; tired and nervous. "When I read about Dreco it meant nothing, to me except a, medicine spoken highly of, but, Oh my! it is so different now. I want to tell you all. take it like I did. and see. You will be convinced and overjoyed by the results." Dreco is made from juices and ex tracts of many medicinal herbal plants which act on the vital organs in ac pleasant and prompt. manner.

The Auto Races Friday. Nearly every one said they were good races and close enough to fur nish plenty of excitement. The National car driven by R. J. Burkett was the star of the day. win ning first in the one mile, second in the five mile, first in the ten mile, and first in the fifty mile race. J. D. Bethea in a Chalmers did some pret ty driving and pushed the National hard in each event, winning.second in the mile, first in the five mile, second | in the ten mile and second in the fifty mile race. I The fifty mile race was the most exciting event of the day and the win ner w*as in doubt up until the last few laps. The Buick led at the start but had to drop out after the first few miles on account of trouble. From then on the field narrowed down and after thirty miles it was plain to be seen that the race lay between the National and Chalmers. Mile after mile it was nip and tuck betwen these two cars with three more still in tht running and going stronger. Finally the Chalmers ran hot and had to stop for water when the National gained more than a lap which position he held to the end of the race, running the last few miles with a broken rear spring. Much credit is due the boys for the driving, nerve and gameness they put up on a track which was not. in the best of condition for racing. While this did-not interfere with the interest in the races, better time could have been made if the track had been harder. The day was ideal for racing and not an accident marred the sport. The attendance was estimated at abojt three thousand. Following are the events and win ners: One mile race, First, J. D. Bethea; One mile race?Won by Burkett; time 1:10. Five Mile Race?First J. D.
