Distressing Condition Caused by Catarrh ol the Stomach.
Experience of a Prominent Farmer—Wished that he Might Die.
Mr. Thomas Lanier, at 137 Decatui
street, formerly a prominent farmer ol
Gwinnett county, has this to say of his

v -zJk
“About three years ago I was cured
of the worst kind of a case of Catarrh

SPECIAL TO THE FARMERS
Who Want to Make and Save Expense and
Labor on the Farm.
Do you know that you can buy one
of the very best steel blade fenders to
work with the common Scooter and a
Johnson wing (or mould board) or with
.the common scooter or turn plow with
out wing, at the reduced price of (15c)
fifteen cents for each fender (right or
lefthand) which will last you for years?
By using these Johnson fenders on your
plow you never cover up a single young
plant of cotton, corn, or vegetables
and qan plow as close as you please.
The Johnson wings and their fifteen
cents fenders are the greatest grass
killers on earth. Call on your mer
chant for these fenders and get them
in time. You can order or have your
merchant order them from R. A. John

ir physicians. After being examined and
,f a cure promised. I was so skeptical
[ s that I refused to carry the medicine
home that the physician prescribed for
me. I persistently begged to be let
alone, as 1 firmly relieved that nothing
that man could compound would ever
relieve me again. (I had lost ail my
faith in doctors.) My wife as persis
tently begged me to take the medicine
and at least give the doctors a trial. To
please her I began taking it and begun
to improve with the first dose. After
taking a few months’ treatment I was
completely cured, and am, after three
years as sound and well as any man
my age in the county. Can now eat
anything set before me. I recommend
all my friends to the Copeland Insti
tute, especially when suffering with
any ailment of the head, throat or
stomach. I feel that had it not been
for the very efficient treatment received
from them I would not be alive today.

City and claiming to be a Baptist
’ preacher, came to Atlanta looking for
1 his 13 year old wife. He found her in
a house of ill fame but she refused to

fesses to have married the child within
' three weeks of the death of his first

the child is more deserving of sympa

Brewer with using improper language
to his daughter which the latter denies.
It took the DeKalk county court a
whole week to determine whether
1 Flanagan, the slayer of Mrs. Allen and
Miss Ruth Slack should be put on trial
for the double murder and after all
this cost of time and money the case
has been appealed to the Supreme
1 Court and the whole trial will likely be
gone over again. After the Flanagan
case was disposed of the case of Terrel
Hudson, a negro boy was called upand
he was tried, convicted and sentenced
to hang inside of one day.
Dr. Broughton and other ministers

member learned that his sisters had
accepted one or two invitations to play
progressive euchre for prizes, whereup-

Otis Smith, an Atlnnta society
young man who robbed his employers
of several thousand dollars, has had his
shortage paid up by his friends and has
been released from jail. Smith receiv
ed a salary ot $l5O per month yet for
years he has been stealing systemati
cally and persistently. The men who
have turned him loose without prosecu
tion have committed a crime against
society second only to that committed
by the thief. Is it less a crime for
young men who draw good salaries and
dance the german to steal for the pur
. pose of riotous living, than for idle and
destitute to steal to escape hunger and
nakedness? The ease w ith which well
born criminals escape punishment
; makes it look that way.

1 thrown into the Oconee River. Bey
} nolds bargained for Hunt’s store,
, claiming he had the money to pay for

J him in his buggy to a point near the
i river and shot him and sunk the body.
’ He then took possession of the store
1 aud began to turn the goods into cash
as fast as possible. He accounted for
Hunt’s absence by saying he had gone
to Carsou to see the Corbett-Mitchell
fight. His actions excited suspicion
and after being arrested he confessed

eight children and a baby grandson of
W. J. Woodford was crossing the track
■ of the Southern railroad near Chatta
' nooga it was struck broad side by an
f engine and all except one three year
old son were killed. A curve in the
track prevented the engineer from see
ing the wagon till he was too close to
stop his train. The young man driving
the wagon seems to have become rat
tled on the approach of the train and
instead of reining back his team tried
to get across the track ahead of the
engine. None of the dead had any
limbs broken. Most of them were
killed by being throw n high in air and
falling on their heads. ‘ Some of them
were thrown a hundred feet away.

Lee’s report to Olney shows that Dr.

The Senate having wasted weeks and
weeks in useless discussion for the sole
purpose of killing time found it neces
sary to sit on last Sunday to transact a
little business.
The senate has removed the political
disabilities of Col. D. E. Simms, of
Kentucky, who was probably the last
ex-confederate to be pardoned for tak
ing up arms against the government..
In the Senate, Dubois and Teller
gave the republicans notice that they
were not coming back into the party
fold, and the pretense of seeking inter
national agreement would no hold
silver men in line.
The Senate committee on appropria
tions have stricken out or cut down a
few items in the $50,000,000 general
appropriation bill, but they will be apt
to find their way back on the bill before
it becomes law.
The silver republicans in the House
and Senate have issued a call for a sil
ver convention to meet in Chicago on
June 7th. The object of this meeting
is to call a national convention of all
silver republicans and those disposed
to co-operate with them in political
action to obtain legislation in favor of
silver.
Congrees will try to make up the
time previously wasted by spending
the last three or four days in continu
ous session. On Monday, Senator
Aldrich called up the Anti prize fight
bill. This is a sweeping measure
which forbids any sort of prize fight
news being sent through the mails or
telegraph or Express. The measure did
not come to a vote.
It is now assured that the arbitration
treaty will not be ratified at this ses
sion. Grover and Olney are more Eng
lish than American in heart, but they
will go out of office without the satis
faction of feeling that they have
shrewdly tied the hands of America
by rushing this treaty through the
senate. Grover with a multitude of
offices at his disposal is not so potent
as Grover with no patronage to bestow.
In discussing the price of armor
plate Ben’Tillman created a sensation
by charging that no expenditures of
the Government so reeked with fraud,
that the Bethlehem and Carnegie plants
instead of being competitors were in
collusion and expressed his belief that
they had their paid agents in the Sen
ate arra declared he would vote for a
Government plant to manufacture steel
armor even if it cost S6OO or SBOO a ton
to make it. Senator Hawley repudi
ated the idea that any Senator was
corrupt.
For a number of years the speaker of
the house has been gradually assuming
more and more power until he now
determines what Congress shall or
shall not do according to his own sweet
will. No man and no measure can
receive recognition unless it is the
speaker’s will. No member can secure
the floor for any purpose unless he can
previously get the speakers consent to
recognize him. There is a growing
ci isposition on the part of congressmen
to rebel against this self constituted
American czar.
The anti-scalpers bill will fail of
passage this session. It is estimated
that the railroad ticket brokers do a
business of $10,000,000 a year of which
$1,000,000 jis profits. The railroads
claim that if these brokers were stop
ped from buying aud selling tickets
that fares could and would be reduced.
We do not question that fares could in
many instances be reduced butthat
they would be, is extremely problem-,
atieal. Corporations are not in the
habit of voluntarily reducing any tax
they have it in their power to impose
upon the public. The railroads do not
need any help from congress in getting
rid of the ticket brokers. If they will
redeem all unused portions of tickets
sold aud stop cutting rates between
certain points 'in order to draw busi
ness properly belonging to rival roads
and charge uniform rates over all por
tions .of their lines, no margin for
profits will be left to the brokers and
they will be obliged to close up their
shops.
President Cleveland vetoed the immi
gration bill on Tuesday. His menage
is a long one and he objects to every
feature of the bill. He especially ob
jeats to the educational requirement.
The president sees more danger in ad
mitting educated men. According to his
views the illiterate will be more hum
ble, docile laborers and therefore more
desirable citizens. Men who have in
telligence enough to understand their
rights and pluck enough to stand up
for them, in the opinion of Grover, are
not wanted. We have too manvof
that sort now, to make things comfort
able for the corporations, trusts and
monopolies. According to the presi
dents view, this country belongs to the
rich and no immigrants should be re
ceived who are not ready to accept the
conditions of practical slavery.- Grover
is reported sick but his physicians have
not yet determined whether he is
afflicted with gout or rheumatism.
A Washington correspondent sums up
the effective work of the last congress
as follows: A bill to create a commis
sion to determine the true divisional
line between Venezuela aud British
Guiana; prohibiting prize lighting in
the territories; permitting appoint
ments in the army and navy of former
United States officers who served in the
rebellion: making one year’s residence
in a territory necessary for a divorce;
incorporating the National Society of
the Daughters of the Revolution; de
fining the penalty for interference
with railway trains and persons hiding
thereon and substituting salaries for
fees to United States marshals and dis
trict attorneys.
Ihe above for the long session and
the immigration bill and a bid provid
ing for a monetary, conference during
the short session just closed. In addi
tion may be added appropriation bills
amounting to over $1,000,009,000 of the
people’s money-and seven hundred pen
sions to favored citizens. A grand
showing, truly. d. N. S.

Mrs. Helen Roseland, of New York,
heart broken over the death of her
father and mother, of whom she was
the only child, carefully closed the door
and windows of her room and commit
ted suicide by turning* on the gas. Af
ter the death of her parents she wrote
the following poem, which she has an
swered by ending her own life:
THE GREAT QUESTION.
“Is life worth living?” the cynic cries—
Around him all looks dark and desolate;
Ambition foiled, hopes scattered, love turned
to hate.
He sneers at faith and truth,he laughs at fate;
The laugh dies on his lips—
From, out the gloom,he sees his mother’s lov
ing face,
With tender pleading eyes.
“Is life worth living?” the mourner cries—
Around her all looks dark and desolate;
The loved one gone, beyond recall. O bitter
fate!
She thinks of their reunion—how many years
to wait?
The sobs break from her heart —
From out the gloom she sees her little child
with outstretched arms—
The tears fall—and she sighs.
,‘ls life worth living?” the toiler cries—
Around him all looks dark and desolate;
The fierce heat or bitter cold—the endless work;
He suffers pain and hunger—does God forsake?
He lifts his weary eyes—
And from out the gloom he hears a long for
gotten song—
“(> Paradise! •€) Paradise!”
—Helen Roseland.

is acquainted with every merchant
advertising in the “Commission House”
column and can cheerfully commend
them to its readers. Every one of
these houses will make prompt returns

Others May Profit by Tills Experience,
Deah Editon—Knowing that a great many people
are seeking honest and profitable employment, permit
me to give a little of my own experience, which, if it
helps others, will amply recompense me. About three
years ago 1 owned a small farm near Plymouth, Ind.,
which, with good care and hard work, afforded but a
scant income. 1 became dissatisfied and was looking
for something in order to better my condition, whan 1
chanced to notice an advertisement of Terriff’s Perfect
Washing Machine, manufactured by the Portland
Mfg. Co., box, G Portland, Mich., and accordingly
wrote them. When I received the circulars, terms,
etc., the proof as to the merits of the machine was so
plain 1 felt 1 had at last struck the key note of success.
I ordered two washers at once and commenced .the
work, and to my surprise I took orders for 25 washers
the first week. My success was so great 1 decided to
to have more territory, but found, to my dismay, all
the adjacent territory was taken. I therefore decided
to sell my farm and take five counties in lowa, where
the machines had never been introduced. Since com
ing to Adv! I have sold over 2,000 washers, and made
over $6,500,00. Any farmer or farmer’s son can easily
make $100.(X) per month selling these machines.
Should any of your readers desire further information
regarding my success, they are at liberty to write me.
HENRY RINEHART, Adel, lowa,
Love in the Scale.
/.A “ How much does the baby
f \ weigh” is only another way
/V. afe of asking, “Is he healthy and
Zz strong?” When a baby is
/ . y— \ welcomed into the world with
II ' ov * n S care an d forethought,
C TsAff his chances of health and
strength are increased a hun
dred-fold.
A prospective mother cannot begin too
early to look after her own health and phys
ical condition. This is sure to be reflected
in the baby. Any weakness or nervous de
pression, or lack of vigor on the mother’s
part should be overcome early during the
expectant time by the use of Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription, which promotes the
perfect health and strength of the organism
specially concerned in motherhood.
It makes the coming of baby absolutely
safe and comparatively free from pain; ren
ders the mother strong and cheerful, and
transmits healthy constitutional vigor to
the child.
Nd other medicine in the world has been
such an unqualified blessing to mothers and
their children. It is the one positive spe
cific for all weak and diseased conditions
of the f.-minine organism. It is the only
medicine of its kind devised for this one
purpose by a trained and educated special
ist in this particular field.
Mrs. F. B. Cannings, of No. 4320 Humphrey St.,
St. Louis, Mo., writes: “ I am now a happy
mother of a fine, healthy baby girl. Feel that
your ‘ Favorite Prescriptiou ’ and little ‘ Pellets ’
nave done me more good than anything I have
ever taken. Three months previous to my con
finement I began using your medicine. I took
three bottles of the ‘ Prescription.’ Conse
quences were I was only in labor forty-five min
utes. With my first baby I suffered 18 hours,
then had to lose hint. He was very delicate and
only lived 12 hours. For two years I suffered
antold agony, and had two miscarriages. The
' Favorite Prescription ’ saved both my child and
myself. My baby is not yet three weeks old and
I do not think I ever felt better in my life.”
SOME SHOW SWINE.
As Hogs Go They May Be Called Hand
some.
At the New York live stock show,
In the swine classes, Poland-Ohinas,
Berkshires and Small White Yorkshires
were about equally divided, in number.
There was also a good display of Duroo-
Jerseys.
Duroc-Jerseys are a deeper and more
uniform red In color and smoother and
more symmetrical in outline than they
were a few years ago. They = are also of
a more refined type, showing steady im
provement as a result of the efforts of
breeders. The ears are not so coarse
looking as they used to be.
The illustration shows a 2-year-old
sow that is hard to beat. Thia is claimed
DUKOC-JEBBKT SOW.
to be the most prolific of all the hog
families. They also fatten readily. In a
pig feeding experiment at the Michigan
experiment station Duroc- Jerseys gained
2.59 pounds a day on average feed of
4.65 pounds of grain a day. The sows
are especially good milkers.
Another breed exceedingly popular
among eastern farmers is the Small
White Yorkshire. The fancy of the hour
seems to be to breed the nose entirely
off these picturesquely ugly swine. At
the New York show some of the speci
mens had no more nose than a png dog.
The less nose the more fashionable the
shote.
The Yorkshire has thin, curly hair, a
small head and the very crookedest face
that ever grew on any creature.
In England the Small White York
shires are among the most popular
breeds. There they reach perfection. A
live stock writer says of them, “No ani
mal of the pig species carries so great a
proportion of flesh to the quantity of
bone or flesh of so fine a quality M the

small a cost per pound, ” all of which
propositions Poland-China, Berkshire
and Duroc-Jersey breeders would prob
ably dispute. The Small Yorkshire is
not very small, however, since sows of
this breed sometimes weigh fall grown
over 500 pounds.
Dairy and Creamery.
One recently started creamery has
found the following plan successful. It
is engaged in making butter: The milk
of the farmers is taken and made into
butter, a careful account being kept of
the amount. The creamery charges
cents a pound for separating, making
the butter, shipping it and all other ex
penses. It returns to the farmer the
price received for his butter after the
cents is deducted for expenses. The
milk of each patron is carefully tested,
so that he gets the price of just as much
butter as his cows will produce. The
butter maker is paid S6O a month. The
proprietors of the creamery cleared un
der this system SIOO a month profit.
There is no reason, however, why farm
ers should not be the stockholders of
their own creamery and pocket these
profits themselves. A first clasa butter
maker and superintendent end a first
class treasurer and boas’d of directors
from among their own number could
manage the enterprise successfully.
When you make up your mind that
you are going to make money at dairy
ing, it is a tolerably sure sign that you
will make money.
Transvaal Customs.
In the towns in the Transvaal the
natives are not allowed to walk on
the footpath, to carry sticks, or to
own property. It is stated that after
some recent trouble with one of the
tribes a large number of prisoners
were distributed among the burgh
ers and that even Mr. Joubert, the
commandant general, and until re
cently the superintendent of the na
tives also, sent large batches of boys
to the mines, drawing a big share
of their monthly earnings for him
self.
Embarrassing.
Hearing a faint rustle in the dark
ened hallway below, the elder sis
ter, supposing the young man had
gone, leaned over the balustrade
aud called out, “Well, Bessie, have
you landed him?”
There was a deep, sepulchral si
lence for some moments. It was bro
ken by the hesitating, constrained
voice of the young man, “She has.”
