HS HAS BEEN A UHD AGENT
.
I WaaAppduted Through he S cttirv of
Interior and Mau- Proiniu'Ul <J o -
gh»na Signed III* i»oud
United States Attorney Joe James
has filed a suit on behalf of the gov
ernment against Amos B. Fitts and
I his bondsmen for the recovery of
■53,205.07, alleged to have been received
by Fitts while a government land
agent in Oklahoma, but not paid into
the treasury of the United States.
Mr. Fitts is well known all over
Georgia. He was for many years edi
tor and proprietor of The Carrollton
Times. He received his government
appointment through Mr. Hoke Smith,
while Mr. Smith was secretary of the
interior.
His bodsmen include some of the
best known citizens of Georgia, Con
gressman Elect William C. Adamson
was one cf the men who stood as se
curity for him The other bondsmen
include William W. Fitts, Samuel E.
Grow, Moses D. Watkins, Newton A.
Horton, George H, West, James T.
Bradley, Newton L. Benson, Edwin
W. Weils and Felix N. Cook.
The bond is for SIO,OOO and the
bondsmen are bound jointly and sev
erally.
The two alleged discrepancies in Mr.
Fitts’ accounts are $1,897.69 of assess
ments collected ou lots in Perry, Okla.,
between October, 1893. and June,
1895, and $1,307 38 collected from Feb
ruary, 1891, to June, 1895, being de
posits received in contest cases in
Perry, Okla.
Fitts was well known in Rome as a ]
rather eccentric newspaper man and !
the tiling of the suit will be a surprise |
to many who knew him.

“V
Many People Ridicule the Idea of an Absolute
Cure for Djsp pna and Stem?ch
Troubles.
Ridicule, Bowfvcr, Is Not ATgumen*, anti
Facts bre stubborn Things.
Stomach troubles are so common, and
in many cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming to be a radical, per
manent cure for dyspepsia and indiges
tion. Many such pride themselves on
their acuteness in never being hum
bugged, especially on medicines.
This fear of being humbugged may be
carried too far. so far, in fact, that many
persons suffer for years with weak diges -
tion rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims of
a preparation so reliable and universally
used as Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not a secret pat
ent medicine, no secret is made ot their
ingredients, but analysis shows them to
contain the natural digestive ferments,
pure aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids,
golden seal, bismuth, Hydrastis and nux
They are not cathartic, neither do they
act "powerfully on any organ, but they
cure indigestion on the common sense
plan of digesting the food eaten thor
oughly before it has time to fermenr, sour
and cause the mischief. This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach troubles,
because they act entirely upen the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
really in the stomach.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after
meals, digest the food. That is all there
is to it. Food not digested or half di
gested is poison, as it creates gas, acidity,
headaches, palpitation of the heart, loss
of flesh and' appetite, and many other
troubles which are often called by some
other name.
They aie sold by druggis’s everywhere
at 50 cents per package. Address Stuart

stomach diseases, sent free.

As they pictured them, 50 years ago.

began to make new men, just
as the new pictures of mon

of people fronted the camera
with skins made clean from

they had purified the blood
with Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It a
is as powerful now as then.

THE SPECTATOR.
I have never told the readers of this
paper how my fellow sufferer, Montgom
ery Mobile Folsom got an old hen of bi
broke from setting, and for fear that it
may never reach the world “eggsactly"
as it occured and without “hatching” up
a “scrambled’’ affair I will lelate it,
nothing extenuated nor ought set down
in malice.
Folsom likes a joke as well as any
man, but not when they bounce back.
For a long time he has had a fancy for
chickens. It takes him a long time to
get weary, but weary he got last April.
It is a bucolic or dogmatic adage of
immemorial antiquity that nothing on
earth can break up a setting hen, ordi
narily resolute, except death, but the
gray haired maxim was successfully im
punged in this hill-up-holstered town —
in fact controverted, rebutted and cer
toraried. A thunderbolt did the butting
and rebutting, and it was one of the long
dizzy kinky, twisty, wieredly colored
bolts that are fashionable in the spring
on the year.
The term to ‘‘break up a setting
ben’’ is understood to mean, to im
poverish her animal economy of the
dogged hereditary instinctive pre-de
termination inherent in every old hen
to “set,” and lightning did that for
Folsom’s hen. Old speckle no longer
has a desire co ‘‘set,’’ even sit. She
has since been wabbling about on two
halt fried and blistered legs, with ail
fluffy feathers scorched from her star
board side well aft and is apparently
wearing her downy dress a la the lat
est chrysanthemum.
The bolt didn’t exactly hit old
speckle. She was small game for a
bolt of that calibre, loaded with
about twenty thousand voltage, but
it squalshed her environments, scoop
ed her nest bodily from under her, iir
eluding one dozen Plymouth Rock
eggs which it stirred up in a hasty
pudding batter and cooked quickly
into an omelet, liberally pleated with
timothy and herd’s grass.
It then carried the composition to the
back pait of the hennery and hung it on
a paling. It wi.s during the electric
cooking that old speckle got her shins
toasted and inoculated with a pregnant
lesson on the futility of sticking ever
lastingly to business until the weathe;
clerk orders a change of lightning for
this section. There were a number of
other fowls in the hennery at the time
the phenomenon took place, who now,
unlike Tom Norwood’s Turkey are roost
ing higher, preferring to let the night
winds whistle through their whiskers in
the tree tops around Folsom’s house.
The fact is. Folsom is proud of the
bolt, for it did in an eighth of a second
what patience, alternated with cussing,
wouldn’t do, besides it explodes the
myth that lightning won’t touch feath
ers. And now when you go by Folsom’s
house and see a frizzled looking old hen
with an absent far away look in her eyes
and seeming to say “defile not God’s
annointed with unsanctified hands,” you
may know Folsom’s hen.

NEED NO JURY.
The Inmates of the Jail Wil! Be Promptly
Tried.
The Tribune is requested by Sheriff
McConnell to state that there is no
need of a grand jury for the majority,
if not all the offenders, he has in his
keeping, as their offenses are misde
meanors and will be tried by Judge
G. A. H. Harris in the city court
baginning Monday, December 7th.
. He has quite a lot of them, but the
congestion will be over when Judge
Harris begins his court which is now
a little over a week away.
