ed. Olin Johnson, colored, wasiri
town Saturday with a bunch of
25 or 30 red nrensts and when
Sheriff E. C. McNeill asked him
how he caugnt them he-said in a
trap. Sheriff McNeill phoned
Justice Rowland, kept Johnson
in his office until Mr. Rowland
came and said that he wanted
a warrant for Johnson for violat

Johnson changed his tune at once
and said he did not mean a real
to truly traD .iust his way of
Bavins: that he caught them with
hook and line. Examination of
the fish, however, failed to re

When You Think
Of the pain whielx many women experience with every
month it makes the gentleness and kindness always associ
ated with womanhood seem to be almost a miracle.
While in general no woman rebels against what she re
gards as a natural necessity there is no woman who would
not gladly be free from this recurring period of pain.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes
weak women strong and sick women
well, and gives them freedom from pain.
It establishes regularity, subdues in flam
mation, heals ulceration and cures fe
male weakness.
Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter,
free. All correspondence strictly private and sacredly
confidential. Write without fear and without fee to World's Dispensary Med
ical Association, R. V. Pierce, M. D., President, Buffalo, N. Y.
If you want a book that tells all about woman's diseases, and how to cure
them at home, send 21 one-cent stamps to Dr. Pierce to pay cost of mailing
only, and he will send you a free copy of his great thousand-page illustrated
Common Sense Medical Adviser revised, up-to-date edition, in paper covers.
In handsome cloth-binding, 31 stamps.

March 14th 1910,
Mr. Chas. M. Stieff,
Baltimore, Md..
Dear Sir:
The uninterrupted growth
of our Conservatory and the
present unusual enlargement
through the consolidation of
the faculty of Shorter College
with that of Brenau render
necessary an .. addition to our
piano equipment, and we wish
to place with you an order for
twenty Stieff pianos, which
please select for us with great
care and ship in time to reach
us not later than September
first.
We have in our conservatory
pianos of the most famous
manufacturers, and in consid
eration of this fact it should
be a source of gratification to
you that we are able to say
that this order for your pianos
is due to our very satisfactory
experience of the past three
years with Stieff pianos in our
Conservatory (and also in
Shorter College), and it is of
interest also that this purchase
gives us no fewer than seven
ty Stieff pianos alone proba
bly a greater number than the
entire musical equipment of
any other woman's college in
America.
Very truly yours.
