Did You Ever
Stop to Think?
If You Read this Article Through
You Will, and if You Are
Young You Will Think
Twice.
Did you ever stop to think that
you do four things, just four and
no more? You think, you remem-
ber, you imagine, you act. When
you learn to think better, remember
better, imagine better, or act bet-
ter, you are increasing your effici-
ency, and, therefore, your income.
You may feel that you are very suc-
cessful now. Suppose you are; it
isn’t a questiem of what you know,
but of how beneficial a practical
business education will be to you
in addition to what you already
know. You will agree with us that
to Violate a part of the laws of bus-
iness means partial failure. You
are also aware that to observe all
the laws means complete success.
The late Prof. James of Harvard
declares that the average man only
uses ten per cent of his brain power.
Suppose you are twice as capable
as the average man. Even that
would mean you are only twenty
per cent of your maximum possibil-
ties. The purpose of our course is
to produce a maximum of efficiency
with a minimum of effort. Did
you ever stop to think that eighty-
five per cent of the men of this
country are only earning $15 a
week or less ? That ninety-two
per cent fail in business between
the ages of 40 and 50? That
ninety-five per cent have no money
at the age of 60 ? We have been
very successful in getting men out
of the eighty-five, ninety-two and
ninety-five per cent classes. Why
not let us help you ? We have
been marvelously successful in
raising salaries, as is conclusively
proven by the letters in our cata-
log from former students. The
business world wants thinkers and
doers. There’s a famine of high-
priced men today; there are thous-
ands of men worth a thousand dol-
lars a year, but only a few worth
ten thousand a year. Be the latter
kind of a man. Yon can if you
will. We know that a man is
worth only about $2.00 a day from
the chin down, selling muscle, but
as high as a hundred thousand dol-
lars a year from the chin up, sell-
ing brains. Be a chin-upper and
sell the higher type of brains; you
can’t afford to be a chin-downer;
there’s no room for ^uch a man.
Take our thorough, practical course
of Bookkeeping-Business Training,
Shorthand and Typewriting, or
Telegraphy, learn how to think, to
remember, to imagine and act.

The following sketch of an estim-
able lady, Mrs. P. J. Shaver, who
formerly lived in this county and
who died at her home in Weimar
January 2, 1912, aged 92 years, is
taken from the Weimar Mercury.
As the wife of John Adams Hollo-
way, her first husband, she came to
when James K. Polk was inauger -
ated president, to Fayette County
from Virginia, and, says the 'Mer-
cury :
‘When they reached the Colora-
do bottom Mr. Holloway purchased
1000 acres of that rich, fertile land
for $1000. Here they lived in a
board shanty until they could erect
a respectable log cabin like those of
their nearest neighbors, five or six
miles away. They planted g crop,
and in the meantime plenty of wild
turkeys, deer and fish furnished
ample provisions until the first crop
came in. Wild hogs fattened on
the mast in the bottom and un-
claimed cattle housed there in the
winter; so food was abundant and
easy to obtain. They were begin-
ning to establish themselves com-
fortably when the young husband
died and left the wife with four
small children.
Having no facilities for educa-
ting her children in this unsettled
country, she moved to Rutersville,
where one of the best colleges at
that time in the State was situated.
This flourishing institution was
then presided over by Rev. Josiah
Richardson a prominent Methodist
minister and the teachers Mr. and
Mrs. Halsey and Miss Mary Chap-
man.
After Mrs. Holloway had been
in Rutersville two or three years
she was married to P. J. Shaver.
They lived here a short time and
then moved to R06S Prairie, where
Mr. Shaver laid off the beautiful
little town of Fayetteville, which
he named for Fayetteville, Tenn.,
which had formerly been his home.
He gave away every second lot to
induce settlers to come in. Here
they built another log cabin, which
was the popular and hospitable
stopping-place for the preachers of
that day. Revs. Robert Alexander,
Isaac Johns, the Elder Rabb and
many others often found a comfort-
able resting place in this pious
home.
"She was the mother of’sixteen
teen children, eleven of whom lived
to maturity. She has seven chil-
dren living thirty-six grand-chil-
dren and forty-three great-grand-
children.’’

cine for a cough or cold take

Cured To Stay Cured.
How A LaGrange Citizen Foun
Complete Freedom From
Kidney Troubles.
If you suffer from bachache—
From urinary disorders—
From any disease of the kidneys.
Be cured to stay cured.
Doan’s Kidney Pills make lasting
cures.
LaGrange people testify.
Here’s one case of it:
L. J. B. Rose, LaGrange, Texas,
says: "In my opinion Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills are well worth recom-
mending and are without an equal
in cases of kidney complaint. I
was troubled by soreness across my
kidneys. In the morning I arose
feeling unfreshed, stiff and sore
and it often seemed as if my back
were going to break. I had no
energy and was also bothered by
painful passages of the kidney
secretions. Doan’s Kidney Pills,
procured at Wm. Hermes Jr.’s
Drug Store, restored me to good
health. ’’
For sale by all dealers. Price
50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co.,
Buffalo, New York, sole agents for
the United States.
Remember the name—Doan’s—
and take no other.

Hermes, Jr., for cockrels. He’s
got the best strain of Barred Rocks,
pure bred winter layers.
If your children are subject to
attacks of croup, watch for the first
symptom, hoarseness. Give Cham-
berlain’s Cough Remedy as soon as
soon as the child becomes hoarse
and the attack may be warded off.
For sale by all dealers.

Back Home Again.
George Pie, colored, who has
been a frequent visitor at the county
bastile, is again in duress. This
time, according to our information,
the negro stands a good chance to
graduate to a State institution.
George is charged with entering
the home of a negro tenant on the
Melcher farm one day last week
and appropriating a watch. The
theft was discovered but kept quiet
until Sunday, when it was found
that George had sold the watch
"on credit" to a friend. His ar-
rest followed promptly.
Here is a remedy thet will cure
your cold. Why waste time and
money experimenting when you
can get a preparation that has won
a world wide reputation by its cures
of this disease and can always be
depended upon ? It is known every-
where as Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy, and is a medicine of real
merit. For sale by all dealers.
M. M. Arredondo, proprietor of
the Mexican Restaurant, requests
us to announce that the sick guest
at his hostelry is suffering with la
grippe. He desires this fact to be
known generally, as every case of
sickness is regarded with suspicion
on account the precautions to keep
out meningitis. The patient was
examined by the health officers and
the disease diagnosed la grippe.

building some time Tuesday night

the the hasp of the locker in which
