Weary lassitude makes his muscles useless —slug- gish circulation of impure blood fills his brain with useless clogging matter. Ef fort is distasteful and brings scant results. The trouble usually starts with the diges tion. Too much brain work takes needed blood from stomach to head and retards the stomach’s work. The body is not fed. The nerves rebel. Sleep becomes a stranger. Loss of appetite is followed by loss of flesh—and all for the want of the right medicine at the right time. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is for the man who is losing flesh and vitality. It is for the man whose digestion needs help and whose nerves and brain are overworked. It is the greatest of all tonics. No matter what seems to be your trouble, the “Golden Medical Discovery” will cure it It cures by making the blood pure, rich and plenty, and by fur nishing food for nerves and brain. Noth ing has ever been found to equal it, but dishonest druggists sometimes try to make you believe that something more profitable to them is “ just as good.” Do not be deceived. Get what you ask for. Constipation if neglected brings with it a train of maladies that unfit the sufferer for either the duties or pleasures of life. Sick and bilious head aches ana a multitude of other ills are due to con stipation. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure con stjimlion promptly and permanently. Druggists Sell them. Nothing else is "just the same." number of young society people will sp?nd the week at the beautiful home in East Rome. There are no less than t wenty visit lag young ladies in Rome this wee.;. It promises to be very gay. It is reported that it is probable that Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Carver and family will move back to Rome within a few weeks.

Gramling, the United States army surgeon, who was here Saturday and Sunday, has gone to Montgomery, but expects to return in a few days to spend a week in Rome. He is on a sick leave until October Ist when he will go to'Honolulu on a mission for the government. Miss Mary Beiry will return from her trip to Warm Springs, Atlanta and Grif fin on Thursday. Miss Addie Wright, who has been at tending the house perty of Mr. John Graham, of Pinewood, Tenn., and who has also been at Fernvale Springs, has been the recipient of many pretty com pliments beauty and fascinating manners.

M : °s Willie McWilliams is expected home is a few days from ( LaGrange where she attended the big bouse party given by the Outing club at Mr. George Truitt’s. There were fifty people in at tendance and they held high carnival for eight days. The LaGrange Reporter says of the event: Mr. Truitt, the inimitable, is con stantly in the scene and, as a host, leaves nothing to be desired. The Outing Club was truly fortunate in their selection of a place for their house party, the natural beauties of the host cannot be duplicated. Mr. Truitt gives his entire sympathy and encouragement to the many couples who find greatest pleasure in gazing upon the moon, and silently.

Mason to whom the club is under many obligations for their kindness. the Angelas Bird. When traveling in the forests of Gui ana and Paraguay, it is not uncommon to meet with a bird whose music great ly resembles that of an Angelas bell when heard from a distance. The Span iards call this singular bird a bell ring er, though it may be still more appro priately designated as the Angelas bird, for, like the Angelus bell, it is heard three times a day, moriiing, noon and night. Its song, which defies all description, consists of sounds like the strokes of a bell, succeeding one an other every two or three minutes, so clearly and in such a resonant manner that the listener, if a stranger, imag ines himself to be near a chapel or a convent, but it turns oat that the for est is the chapel and the bell a bird. The beauty of the Angelas bird is equal to his talent. He is as large as a jay and as white as snow, besides being graceful in form and swift in motion. But the most curious ornament of the Angelus bird is the tuft of black, arched feathers on its beautiful head. It is conical in shape and about 4 inches in length.—Guardian Angel. THE lOMJC 'llfJßuJ|E, TUESDAY. AUGUST 17. 1897 FELL FROM A TRAIN SingiTar and Almost Fatal Accidftit on Son hern Railway. LADY FRO Ji ATLANTA THE MOTIN Mrs. W H. Scruigs, Wi'S of Our Form'r Min ister to Venezuela, is Hnrt—bbb P «- *ed Th roach Rune Sunday. Early Sunday morning in a Pull man sleeper, Mrs. W. L. Scruggs, of Atlanta, who fell off a Southern rail way train this side of Cleveland about 9 o’clock Saturday night, passed through Rome. Col. Scruggs who is a prominent citizen of Atlanta, having been a con sul to Venezuela under the Harrison administration, with his wife and two daughters. Misses Maud and Ruby Scruggs, were en route home from Tate Springs where they have been for a month past. About twenty miles above Cohutta, Mrs. Scruggs, a lady of 60 years or more, went to the ladies’ toilet of the sleeper in which they were traveling to wash her hands. Failing tp return immediately, her husband went back to look for her, but could find no trace of his wife. Subsequent search by Conductor Toms and several porters revealed the tact that she had in some way fallen off he train, probably mistaking the rear car door for the toilet room door. At Cohutta Mr. Scruggs and daugh ters left the train, and Mr. Scruggs, taking an engine provided by the rail road company, went back over the line to look for this wife. She was found nearly fifteen miles above Cohutta, lying by the side of the track in an almost insensible con condition, and very badly injured. How she came to fall off the train seems a mystery,and Conductor Toms, who was seen by *a reporter doesn’t quite understand bow the lady fell from the car. She was unable to tells her husband on account of her weakened and nervous con dition. The lady was moved to Cohutta and Dr. Baxter, surgeon of the Southern railroad,-at Chattanooga summoned. After replying restoratives it was deemed advisable to remove her to her home at 445 Peachtree street, Atlanta. Dr. Hunter Cooper and Dr. W. C. Robinson were called in at once to see her and they found that her injuries were of the most serious nature jL Her right thigh was broken in three pWces. there was a deep cut over the right ktiee, the right collar bone was broken Lnd the left arm broken.. Besides thkse serious fractures there are numercliis outs and bruises over her body and sane. The physicians are unable to say jfet whether or not she sustained any inter nal injuries. I Colonel Scruggs states that while his party were in the coach Mrs. Scruggs left them to walk to the rear end of (the train. She jvent through a door land turned to another door which waa on the side of the platform, the train be ing vestibuled. She opened this <loor, thinking it communicated with a toilet room, and stepped out. fell from the train, which was running About fifty miles an hour. , A It was a wonder that she was not in stantly killed, as she must have struck with fearful force upon the railroad embankment. ' The many friends of Colonel Scruggs and his family sympathize with them and hope Mrs Scruggs will soon recoveir from the effects of the distressing accident.

I listened with in I erest to the speech of Professor Well born, of the Agricultural college of Mississippi, especially when he met the charge that agricultural graduates go out into the professions. He claimed the fallacy of the statement that their work was lost to the farm, for the truth is that nine-tenths of them become country lawyers and country doctors, all of whom, in addition to their pro fessions, are the intelligent farmers of their communities, extending to their less fortunate neighbors the knowledge which they have acquired. The same is true of the university graduates of Georgia who, although they go out into medicine and law, will be recognized all over the state as its most progres sive farmers. Let us stop this eternal agitation which paralyzes all effort and turn our attention to a demand that the state university shall at once make agri culture what it should be—the leading feature of its course. Knowledge of na tare is equally necessary to lawyeis and doctors and preachers, and to all a course In agriculture will be remem bered in after life as a priceless ex perience. The university has the work in hand and it must be held up to its duty.’’ How’* This! We offer One Hundred Dollars Re ward for any case of Catarrh that can not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. F. J.

Proprietors of stores where musical instraments are sold say that many peo ple seem quite unable to discriminate between such establishments and those in which printed music is dealt in. As an instance it is related that a young man came into a piano store and asked: “Do yon sell piano pieces here?” “No,” answered the salesman, “nothing but pianos whole.” The intending purchaser ripened his eyes in a wide and puzzled way and went out apparently wondering whether the salesman thought he wanted a frag ment of a piano.

England has three guinea pig farmers, one of whom exports 150,000 yearly to France, where they are used at restau rants as rabbits, the flavor of the flesh being identical in the two animals.
