For liver troubles and constipation
there is nothing better than De-
Witt's Little Early Risers, the fam
ous little Pills. They do not weak
en the stomach. Their action upon
the system is mild, pleasant and
harmless. Bob Moore, of LaFay
ette, Ind., says, "No tisr talking,
DeWitt's Little Early Risers do
their work. All other pills I have
used gripe and make me sick in the
stomach and never cmed me. De-
Witt's Little Early Kisers proved
to be the long sought relief. They
are simply perfect.'' Persons travel
ing find Little Early Risers the
most reliable remedy to c*rry with
them. Sold by Anderson, Craw

ANOTHER FIRE VISITS
WILLIAMSTON
The Mayor's Office and Geo.
R. Dixon's Tin Shop De
stroyed Early Tues
day Morning
DMMAGE ABOUT SISOO
INSURANCE $750
About a o'clock Tuesday morn
ing the alarm of fire was given.The
cause of the alarm was the burning
of the mayor's office and the Wil
liams building, occupied by George
R. Dixon, both one story frame
buildings, the fire originated in the
Williams buildings and in a shott
time the building was a mass of
flames. It was theu seen there was
no hope of saving the mayor's office.
While nothing was saved of Mr.
Dixon's, nearly everything belong
ing to the mayor was saved.
The Carstarphen building only
40 feet away was saved only by the
untiring and heroic effo-ts of the file
fighters. Several times the building
was in a blaze , but each time the
fighters succeeded in putting it out.
The whole side ot Carstarphen's
•♦tore is scorched and the rosin is
standing out in knots. Had the wind
been in the direction of this building
there is no telling where the fire
would have stopped.
While the owners of the property
have lost by the fire, and have the
sympathy of the citizens, yet it is an
improvement to be rid of these old
buildings. And likely in the nearfui
ture nice brick buildings will be
erected on these lots.
Mr. Dixon carried about SBOO
stock of tin and iron and working
tools,and had only S3OO insurance.
Miss Vanie Williams building was
valued at SSOO, with S3OO insurance.
Mrs. A. H. Smith who owned the
mayor's office carried SIOO insur
ance, the building was worth S2OO.

FARMERS MUTUAL FIRE
INSURANCE CO.
Held it's Annual Meeting
Here Tuesday and Elect
ed Officers. Large
Attendance
The Martin County, Branch of
the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance
Co. held its annual meeting here
Tuesday in the Court house. There
was a good attendance and the re
ports were interesting. The county
branch has insured $145,000 worth
of property and last year there was
only S3OO in losses. It was unnec
essary to make any assessment as
there was sufficient funds on hand
still leaving nearly S3OO in the
treasury.
New officers were elected as fol
lows. John D. Simpson,President;
W. C. Manning Sec. and Treas.
Advisory Board: J. A, Whitley;W.
H. Wilson; Ephriam Peel; A 'num
ber of ageuts were appointed for
each township.
This is the cheapest and the
most reliable insurance. Think of
having your property insured a year
without a premium. Your property
is secured against a loss at no ex
pense The members are proud of
their organization and justly so
It is a great pity that they cant or
ganize this way to protect themsel
ves against low priced products
