We were glad to meet our next congressman,
Hon. T. W. Grimes, whose genial face looks
natural in our midst.
We are also glad to welcome two of our former
•citizens, Messrs. J. B. Shipp and Wright McCook,
of Orange county, Florida, who gave me their
names and subscribed for the Enquirer-Sun.
They say that they have quite a colony of Chat

place, who are anxious to hear from this section
of Georgia.

their many friends follow them to their new

The trouble of our boys never come singly. To
morrow evening at 8 o'clock, at Jcrnigan, AJa.,
Mr. Monk, of Aiuericus, will lead to the altar
Miss Lizzie Scarborough, one of Chattahoochee’s
most popular young ladies. Miss Lizzie was a
general favorite with our boys, and it is with
great alarm that we see them one by one taken
away from us.
We regret to hear of the serious illness of
one of our old citizens, Mr. Wilson Gordy.
Mr. Gordy is 82 years of age and is one of our
oldest citizens. We trust that he may be spared
for many years yet.

its personnel didn’t command the support

the ticket are staunch prohibitionists, and
would have voted differently on a square

an evidence that prohibition lias

Wind It Means.
By Associated Press.
Atlanta, Ga., September 2S. —The chief
interest in the democratic primary which
was held here to-day centered in the fact
that an attempt wasmadeto mix it up with
the prohibition question. Certain extreme
prohibitionists formed an alliance with
certain Knights of Labor some time ago,
and put out a ticket pledged to those two
interests. The rank and Hie of the
prohibitionists protested against this effort
to mix up moral with political questions.
In the vote to-day hundreds of prohibi
tionists voted against the alleged prohibi
tion ticker, while many who votenfor the
ticket did so under protest. The result was
the defeat, not of prohibition, but of ob
jectionable methods.

New York, September 28.—The stock

Montgomery Advertiser.
A sad and horrible account of how three
little children met tlieirdeath conns from
Covington county, near Andalusia. The
reporter failed to learn the name ofthe
children’s parents, but the family is well
known and highly respected in that neigh
borhood.
The three children, ranging from 2 to
6 years old, went out in the afternoon to
play. Near the house a large pine tree
nail been blown down by the roots, and
they were playing around in
the hole made by the roots of the tree
being torn up. The evening passed and at
night the children were missed. The pa
rents instituted search and soon found
them lying near the roots of the fallen
tree. The two younger ones were dead
and the oldest was in a dying condition.
Upon investigation it was found that the
children had all been bitten to death by n
rattlesnake, which had made its den under
the roots ot the tree. Their bodies were
terribly swollen, and looked as if they had
been bitten in several different places.
The oldest child died during the night,
and the three little innocents were buried
together, in their play they had aroused
the snake and were bitten to death before
they could escape its terrible assault.
The Potomac Hivrr IteirattH.
Washington, September 2S.— 1 The fifth
annual Potomac river regatta took place
to-day under favorable conditions of wind
and weather. A light southwest breeze
blowing up the river favored good time

and also served to mitigate in a degree
the extreme heat of the day.
The four-oared gig race was won by the
Columbias, of Washington, in 9:29j; loans,

About the Killing of Keiihe Sheffield.
A correspondent writing from Arlington gives
the particulars about the killing of Seabe Shef
field, a white man, who had accumulated some
property. He had no family, but was the father
•of two illegitimate daughters, and also the father
of a mulatto son by a negro mother.
The daughters had married, and Seabe having
takeu a dislike to his sons-in-law, had made a
will leaving all his property to his mulatto son.
He had received some threatening letters from
some unknown persons.
On Friday night, while eating his supper, the
old man was shot dead by some unseen hand.
The mulatto son has been arrested on suspicion,
based upon the supposition that he desired to
finish the old man before he changed his mind
about his will, and also because the bullet ex
way up, finally closing steady to firm.

GARFIELD’S MONUMENT.
Prosper!** of a Scandal in Connection Therewith.
Peculiar Proceedings on the Part of the Tru*-

Washington, September 2-1.—“When
Senator Teller and Judge Joslyn were in
the interior department 1 used to do a
thriving business,” said a cider-mill man
to-dav.
*T)id they drink much?” was asked.
“Drink much!” repeated the eider
dealer; “well, you ought to have seen
them. Secretary Teller would sit on that
bench and let a quart go down in ten min
utes. He was fond of a companion when
he drank cider, and if it was Judge Joslyn
who sat with him I was sure to sell three
quarts. I remember Judge Joslyn coming
in with an Illinois farmer. Evidently the
judge had been boasting of his cider-
drinking propensities, and a wager was
made on which couhfc dring the most.
•Let us begin on a quart bottle
each,’ said the judge. The men sat
down and the bottles were opened. Jos

the time of the visit, but in an almost in

Mr. .). \V. Marshall, a merchant in ;
Haynsville, and well known in Houston
county, (in., has this to say about the “best I
of all rneumatic remedies
“1 have been a sufferer from rheumatism !
for 28 years; I am now sound nnd well: j
six bottles of Swift’s Specific cured me. I !
write this in the hope that others may
profit by my experience.”
Giollicr Sufferer.
For six years J was afflicted with chronic
rheumatism, part of the time perfectly '
helpless, not being able to walk at all. For
a while my left leg was drawn backward
until nearly doubled, it had a number of
running sores mi it.. Physicians gave me ,
no relief. I tried ev« ry patent medicine
recommended for rheumatism, being a
druggist myself, but to no profit. At last I
'•ommeneo.d tlm use of HwifVsSpecific. At
first it seemed to make me worse. My leg
was much swollen, and J had a physician
to lance it. I soon began to improve. Af
ter taking less than a dozen bottles of
Swift’s Specific, I found myself sound and
well for the first time in six years. That
was five months ago ; I have left no symp
toms of the disease since. I believe Swift’s
Specific to be the best of all rheumatic
remedies made. I commend it to all who
are suffering as 1 have suffered.
