Consumption Cured.
"1 believe it. to be one of the best medicines
sold. The physicians, two years ago, said my
wife had consumption, both lungs affected. I
have had to send her South for several springs to
keep her alive, but since she has been taking
Radam's Microbe Killer she has been right at
home attending to her business, and is in better
health than she has been in 20 years.
"R. T. 1'oolk, Cedartown, Ga."
Several Diseases Cured.
"I cheerfully testify to the curative powers of
your medicine. Having been a sufferer from
weak lungs, bronchial affection and indigestion,
after taking Microbe Killer all of the above
symptoms have entirely disappeared.

Asthma and Catarrh Cured.
"I have been a sufferer from asthma and ca

of my sleep sitting up in bed or reclining in a
chair. I have used one jug of Radam's Microbe
Killer, and for the Inst three weeks have been
sleeping naturally, soundly and sweetly as a

heartily recommend it to any one suffering from

The Board of Magistrates for
Granville county wTill meet on Mon
day for the transaction of important

a Superintendent of Public Instruc

This latter is a question of great
importance. The Board of Commis
sioners have considerable responsi
bility on their hands, and duties that
require judgment, common sense and
business qualifications to perform in
an acceptable manner. The Board
of Magistrates should select for Gran
ville her wisest and best business
men for Commissioners. Selfish con
siderations should be put aside and
those only selected for the position
who combine business experience
and other proper qualifications. We
want Commissioners who will prac
tice economy and save the county
every unnecessary expense, yet not
men of narrow minds, who are too
contracted in their ideas to serve the
eountv efficiently.

Just Received .
Nice lot of Flowers and other goods
just received at Mrs. J. T. Britt's
Millinery Store. The ladies are in
vited to call.
A Remarkable Record.
One of the best known, most suc
cessful and highly respected farmers
of Granville county is Mr. B. T. Win
ston, of Adoniram. We had a
pleasant call from this gentleman on
Wednesday, and in the course of
conversation a remarkable fact was
brought out. Mr. Winston believes
strictly in paying as he goes, and has
not bought a cents' worth of any
thing on a credit in thirty years.
This is a splendid record, and one
that probably cannot be matched in
the State. Mr. Winston has pros
pered by firmly adhering to the cash
rule, and the example is one our far
mer friends generally might follow
with profit to themselves.
