NERVOUS TROUKLKS END IN ST.
VITUS’ DANCE.
Physicians Powerless—The Story Told by
the Child’s Mother.
(From, the Reporter, Somerset, Ky.')
Among the foot hills of the Cumberland
Mountains, near the town of Flat Rock, is
the happy home of James MePherron. Four
months ago the daughter of the family, a
happy girl of sixteen, was stricken with St.
Vitus’ dance. The leading physicians were
consulted, but without avail. She grew pale
and thin under the terrible nervous strain
and was fast losing her mental powers. In
fact the thought of placing her in an asylum
was seriously considered. Her case has been
so widely taked about that the report of her
cure was like modernizing a miracle of old.
To a reporter who visited the home the
mother said:
“Yes, the reports of my daughter’s sickness
and cure are true as you hear them. Her af¬
fliction grew into 8t. Vitus’ dance from an
aggravated form of weakness and nervous
trouble peculiar to her sex. Every source of
help was followed to the end, but it seemed
that physicians and medicine were power¬
less. Day by day she grew worse until we
despaired of her life. At times she almost
went into convulsions. She got so that we
had to watch her to keep her from wander¬
ing away, and you can imagine the care she
was.
“About this time, when our misery was
greatest and all hope had fled, I read of
another case, almost similar, that had been
cured by a medicine known as Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills. Almost in desperation I secured
some of the pills and from that day on the
wonderful work of restoration commenced;
the nervousness left, her cheeks grew bright
with the color of health, she gained flesh and
grew until strong both mentally and physically good
health to-day she is the very picture of
and happiness.
“It is no wonder that I speak in glowing
terms of Pink Pills to every ailing person I
meet. They saved my daughter’s life and I
am grateful.”
The foregoing is but one of many wonder¬
ful cures that have been credited to Dr. Will¬
iams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. In many
cases the reported cures have been investi¬
gated by the leading newspapers and veri¬
fied in every possible manner. Their fame
has spread to the far ends of civilization and
there is hardly a drug store in this country
or abroad where they cannot be found.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People
blood arc now given to the public as an unfailing
builder and nerve restorer, curing all
forms of weakness arising from a watery
condition of the blood or shattered nerves.
The pills are sold by all dealers, or will be
sent post paid on receipt of price (50 cents a
box. or six boxes for $2.50—they are never
sold in bulk or by the 100) by addressing

The Toccoa Furniture and Lumber

No state, not even Georgia herself, has
a greater practical interest in the ex¬

The division of mining statistics and
technology of the United States geo¬
logical survey at Washington has re¬
ceived from Dr. William C. Day, the
special agent in charge of the statistics
in stone, a statement of the production
of marble in Georgia in 1894. This
product, which comes entirely from
Pickens county, was 481,529 cubic
feet, valued at $716,883, as compared
with $261,666 the value in 1893, an
increase of 174 per cent. This shows
an activity among quarrymen of
Georgia, wnich is quite extraordinary,
considering the general business de¬
pression. Georgia ranks second among
the marble producing states, Vermont
being first.
It is pretty definitely settled now
that college journalism at the univer¬
sity of Georgia, which was greatly un¬
settled by the suspension of the Red
and Black, will now regain its equilib¬
rium with the reappearance of that
sheet. The excitement in oollege over
the action of the faculty in requiring
the resignation of two of the editors
for certain articles published in th6
paper, has about died out, and the
boy* realize that they cannot well get
along without the college paper. This
is especially the case now since the
opening of the athletic season, the
progress of the baseball championship
contest and the near approach of the
annual field day of the university. So
the paper will probably appear as the
organ of the athletic association, and
will be made a bright and newsy sheet
for the remaining part of the year.
A Two Per Cent Interest.
Two per cent per annum will here¬
after be paid by the state depositorie*
upon the money of the state left in
their h*nd*. Governor Atkinson ha*
announced the successful completion
of hi* negotiations with the different
banks and the result means a good
deal of money to the state. All of the
depositories but two have signed the
contraot for the payment of interest.
The Georgia Railroad Bank of Afi
gusta, one of the banks which has had
a large balance of the state’s money m
its hands, is one of these; the Bank of
Covington is the other. This latter
bank has never handled much of the
state’s money. The Covington bank
has not, as yet, formally resigned, but
the Georgia* Railroad had bank iB has, in and the
the money that it now
Central treasury. This was $86,477.
The governor has been working on
this interest matter for some tnaa,
While the law instructing the gover
nor to eeoure interest, if possible,
from the depositories has been on the
statute books for & long time, not un¬
til now has any effort on this line been
made, or if made, it has not been BUC
cessful. When the idea of paying in¬
terest was first suggested to the de¬
positories, there were rumors of vigor¬
ous kicks. A meeting of the bankers
was held and a committee was appoint¬
ed to confer with the governor. To
these gentlemen he gave his views, and
they seem to have concluded that he
was right, for they reported to their
fellow bankers in favor of the pay¬
ment of the interest suggested by the
governor.
It is said that no other state except
Missouri gets interest on its deposits,
and Missouri, by letting its money
out to the highest bidder, receives 1$
per cent on daily balances. So Gov¬
ernor Atkinson’s trade seems to be an
excellent one. It will mean between
$8,000 and $10,000 per annum to the
state—a clear pick-up of that amount.
Owing to the quarterly payment of
teachers, this amount is not as large
as it would otherwise be.
EMPEROR AND PRINCE.
Kaiser William Proposes a Cheer for
Bismarck.
Emperor William paid his promised
birthday visit to Prince Bismarck
Tuesday. The emperor alighted from
his special train at Anmuehle. Ac
companied by his staff, he rode from
Anmuehle to the Schwarsenbeck cross¬
roads, where he met a squadron of the
Halberstadt, Bismarck Cuirassiers and
other troops. Placing himself at the
head of the troops, the emperor led
the way to Friedrichsruhe, where he
was met by Prince Bismarck. The
ex-chancellor drove in an open carriage
to the ground where the troops were
stationed. He wore a helmet and the
uniform of Halberstadt.
When the emperor, at the head of
the troops, arrived at the caBtle, the
soldiers formed a half moon in an
open field. The rain fell heavily, but
the kaiser sat upon his horse and
Prince Bismarck stood by the side of
his carriage within the curve of the
military crescent. The emperor salu¬
ted Prince Bismarck and addressed
him as follows:
“Your serene highness, our entire
fatherland is prepared to celebrata
your birthday, in which celebration I
have the honor to take part today at
the head of the army to which your
grace belongs. The troops here as¬
sembled are a symbol of the entire
army. Each field standard is repre¬
sented, and I recognize that behind
these troops is the militia, oomprising
all the German people united. This
is the field standard of the eleotor of
Brandenburg, a field of success. I
could not find a better present for yow
than a sword, a symbol of the instru¬
ment which you helped my grandfather
to forge, sharpen and wield. It is the
symbol of an historic time, of “blood
and iron.” It is that means which
never fails in the hands of kings and
princes, ako against home foes, and
as has been tested, against foreign en¬
emies. In memory of that memorable
time you will recognize the arms of
Alsace-Lorraine, which form the end
of a chapter of history of twenty-five
years. With that remembrance I call
upon the soldiers to present arms.
Prince Bismarck, hurrah!”
As the troops presented arms, the
bands played, the soldiers shouted and
Prince Bismarck cried. Recovering
his composure, the ex-chancellor said:
“I am unable to thank your majesty
for this unparalleled honor.”
He then kissed the kaiser’s hand and
his majesty urged him to mount his
carriage, which Prince Bismarck did
only when the crown prince had first
entered the vehicle and taken a seat to
the right. Then the ex-chancellor,
escorted by the emperor, drove in front
of the troops, and, after the rounds
had been made, the troops filed past
Prince Bismarck, the emperor person¬
ally leading Bismarck’s Cuirassiers.
FRED DOUGLASS’ WILL.
The Document Filed With the Reg¬
ister in Washington.
The will of the late Frederick Dou¬
glas® was filed with the register of
wills at Washington Friday in answer
to the petition previously filed by Ro¬
setta Sprague, daughter of the de¬
ceased, to require the widow aud Lewin
H. Douglass, one of the sons, to dis¬
close the extent of the estate. The
will is a brief document of two type¬
written pages and is dated August 20,
1886. To his wife he leaves the estate
situated near Washington, with all of
its furnishings, and also bequeaths her
his writings, books, pictures, paint
i n g 8> horses, carriages, etc. Ten
j thousand dollars in United States
bonds and $10,000 in money is given to
his daughter, Rosetta Sprague, and to
his sons, Lewin, Frederick and Charles
Douglass, the remainder of his prop¬
erty, each to receive an equal share,
which, says the will, will amount to
about $15,000 each. The will bears
the signatures of but two witnesses,
and the laws of the district require
three. The validity of the will is not
likely to be questioned.

Origin of the Word “Dun.”
“Dun” is a word whose meaning is
now known to every one who under¬
stands the English language. About
the beginning of the century a con¬
stable in England named John Dun
became celebrated as a first class col¬
lector of bad accounts. When others
would fail to collect a bad debt, Dun
would be sure to get it out of the
debtor. It soon passed into a eurrent
phrase that when a person owed money
and did not pay when asked, he would
have to be “Dunned.”
Hence it soon became so common in
such cases to say: • “You will have to
Dun So-and-so if you wish to collect
your money.”
