The opportunity is great. We must prove equal to the occasion. Did you ever notice that when cue merchant lias a big sale or makes a special effort to secure business it helps every merchant in town.

Bunch and Murphy each get two years at Atlan- , ta and a fine of SI,OOO. Though they I . proclaimed their innocence, the evi-l dence pointed the other way and , they seem to have reached the end , of the road where all men finally 1 come up, when they “monkey” with Uncle Sam. Mayor Bunch has done many tilings for the good of his home town over which he has presided several years, but it seems his knowledge of crimes committed was at THIS WOMAN FOUND RELIEF Men and women suffering from backache, rheumatic pains, stiff and swollen joints, lameness and soreness, wijl be glad to read how one woman found relief from kidney and bladder trouble. Mrs. G. Hyde, Homestead, Mich., writes: “I have been troubled with weak kidneys; and several times in the last ten years 1 had that terrible backache and tired feeling, scarcely able to do my work.
