2 POLITICAL GOSSIP S&td'JuY That Mrs. J»hn Mill dge Will Be Assistant Librarian. SHE ISWIFE OF , FORMER LIBRARIAN Governor Atkinson Deni- • That There la Any Political Deal .Between He and Attorney General Terrell. State Librarian Brown will make the appointment of assistant librarian next week, says the Atlanta Commercial. A well supported rumor says that Mrs. John Milledge, wife of Capt. Milledge, the former librarian, will re ceive the appointment. The petition from the friends of Mrs. and Capt. Milledge from over the state has no doubt had great influence over Librarian Brown. It is not doubted that she will receive the appointment. It is said that Captain Melledge’s business investments have been bad, and it is for this reason that his friends have asked for the place of assistant librarian for Mrs. Milledge, who is well qualified to fill it. While the press of the state has al most unanimously rendered up service in favor of Miss Edna Cain’s candidacy for this place, and while she has had tunerous other endorsements, Mr. Brown, it is said, has determined, that it would be more nearly compatible with justice and right and public sentiment to give the place to Mrs. Milledge than to any of the other thirty applicants. Mr. Brown says that he never fought Capt, Milledge when an applicant for the place of librarian, and would be glad to favor him, though he has not announced the name of the person whom he will appoint. Mr. Brown denies the story that was afloat some time ago that John P. At kinson, son of Governor Atkinson, would be appointed as assistant libra rian to carry out a promise made to the Governor by Mr. Brown before he was made librarian. Two Denials. The Constitution of Sunday con tained an article charging that Gov. Atkinson and Attorney General Ter rell had joined forces—Atkinson to work for Atkinson for United States senator to succeed Bacon. Concerning this Governor Atkinson Baid this morning: “I presume the Constitution thought that publication would boom their candidate for governor. As I have stated before lam not running for any office, until four or five years, at least. ’ ’ Governor Atkinson referred to Colonel Candler when he mentioned ‘‘the Constitution’s candidate. ” As for the last sentence of his inter view, it may mean that he will try for Clay’s seat in the senate instead of Bacon's. Attorney General Terrell said con cerning the publication in the Con stitution: “If the governor has not been both ered by the rest of the citizens of Georgia about the prison commission ers than he has been bothered by me he has had no one to mention the matter to him. ” To Cure A Cold In One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

GAVE BIRTH TO FOUR BoVs. Noted Tennessee Wointn Mooushiuer De livered of Quadruplet*. Knoxville, Dec. JI. —Mahala Mul lins, the famous moonshiner woman of Hancock county, has given birth tc four boys, all of whom are alive. Ma hala’s husband is an invalid, weighing less than 100 pounds, while she weighs about 690. Mrs. Mullins has sold moonshine whisky for several years in safe de fiance of the officers. Many a warrant has been issued for her arrest, and many a marshal has been sent to hei rude mountain cabin to capture her. She is an illiterate woman, but shrewd and capable, and with a flue American sense of humor. She settles hersel* back in the great chair, which has been constructed for her, and says: “Ab right; I am ready to go; take me.” The offii er gives one look at the breadth of her 690 pounds and another at the narrowness of the door. His war rant does not provide for removing tin side of the cabin, and so the woman i> left to carry on her moonshine busmen in peace. The mission of Hood’s Sarsaparilla is to cure disease, and thousands of testi monials prove it fulfills its mission well. THE. ROME TRIBUNE. Wi»NISDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1897 ON THEMIL Railway Men and Travelers Rely on Munyon. A M. Barnum, Chronicle Building, San Francisco, Pacific Coast Agent of the Queen and Crescent Route, and formerly a prominent business man of Buffalo, N. ... says: “Munyon’s Rheumatism Cure cured me and also several of my friends to whom I gave some of that great remedy. Before your agency was estab lished on the coast I was compelled io send East for supplies of your remedies, and have always kept them on hand for the benefit of myself and friends. I carry a pocket case in my valise when traveling in case any of my chance ac quaintances should need assistance. I have frequently given away some of the remedies to people in distress. I have great faith in Munyon’s remedies.” Rheumatism is known as the stubborn est of diseases. It will not succumb to any kind of medicine except the right kind. Munyon has the right kind, and cures ninety-six per cent, of all cases submitted to his treatment.

The state board of education met in State School Commissioner Glenn’s office this morning and increased the school term for which the state pays from 100 to 130 days. This increase in the number of school days in the result of the in crease in tbe school fund made by the last legislature. The increase was from $600,000 to $1,000,000, says the Atlanta Commercial. This puts Georgia high up among the states of the Union in the matte r of education. It is what the present school commissioner has been work lug for some time. The various county boards of the state are allowed the privilege of say ing at what date the school term shall commence. In most counties there will be two terms—one in the first foi r months in the year and the other in the fall. / BUCK GEN’S ARNICA SALVE rhe best salve tn the world for outs or bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever sores, tetter, chapped hands, chilblain corns and all skin eruptions and posi tively cures piles, or no pay required.

The Columbus En quirer-bun says: Capt. W. H. Benton, the civil engin eer representing the Government Fish Commission, will leave for Washington today. ‘Capt. Benton has been at Warm Springs for some time, engaged in sur veying a location for the new govern ment fish hatchery, to be located at Cold Springs. He has completed his surveys, and will carry the necessary maps and estimates to Washington with him. The fish hatchery will cover about fifteen acres of ground, on the property of Bullock, Bussey & Co. The engineers representing the fish commission ex amined a great many springs in the state, but found nothing to equal the location selected at Cold Springs. The flow of water is abundant, the tempera ture is just right, and the water clear, free stone. Capt. Benton is delighted with the location and tbe new hatchery is expected to be one of the most success ful ones owned by the government. Upon Capt. Benton’s return to Wash ington, a commission will no doubt take immediate steps to let out the contract for the hatchery, in order that it may be put in operation as soon as possible. The Great®"!

Ex penmented with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr King’s New Discovery. No other remedy can take its place in our home, as in it we have a certain and sure cure for Coughs. Colds, Whooping Cough, etc.” It is idle to experiment with other rem edies, even if they are urged .on you as just as good as Dr. King’s New Dis covery. They are not as geol, because this remedy has a record ot cures and besides is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at Curry-Ar rington Company’s Drug Store. QUICK TIME.
