A SAD STORY.
Atlant* Capitol.
A Capitol reporter was told by
officer Porter at the Union passen
ger depot this morning that an old
man had just arrived in the city
from Palmetto, 6a., and was look
ing for his daughter. The repoiter
learned the following particulars
from the conductor of the train
that brought the old man to Atlan
ta-
For several years past an old
man named William Baker, aged
85 years, has been an inmate of the
Troupe county poorhouse, in La-
Ga. A few days ago he re
ceived a letter his from step-daugh
ter, Jane Donellson or Donald
son toiling the
OLD MAN TO COME TO HEE.
The poor old fellow was so anx
ious to reach a confortable home,
which had been denied him so Ion"
m his old age, that he would not
wait until the county authorities
could attend to his case, but started
out alone and on foot to reach At
lanta. When he reached Palmetto,
twenty miles from LaGrange, he
fell fainting at the depot, and was
taken care of by the kind people of
that place. When the story was
learned the citizens of < Palmetto
bought him a ticket to Atlanta, and
gave him money enough to buy a
few meals.
The poor old fellow arrived in
the city this morning, a stranger in
a strange land, and with ten cents
in his pocket. Some inhuman
wretch had robbed the
HELPLESS OLD MAN.
When the reporter reached the
depot, Baker could not be found,
so the Capitol man started out in
search of the wanderer. He found
him just leaving the police station?
and asked him if his name was Wil
liam Baker. The old man was so
deaf that it was some time before
the reporter could make himself
understood. The old man said he
was hunting for his step-daughter,
Mrs. J ane Donnellson.
‘Tier husband -wrote me to come
and live with them,” said ho. “1
don’t know where to go to. Somes
body told me I could sleep in the
guard-house. Can you tell me
where my daughter is? i am old
and weak—am nearly 90 years old,
and I don’t know what to do.”
Tears were slowly trickling down
the furrowed checks. He suddenly
grasped the reporter by the arm
and exclaimed
U MY GOD, i’m DYING
for something to cat. Young man
get me a cup of coffee and God
will bless you—l am starving to
death.”
Ibo reporter led the aged man
to a restaurant under the Gate City
Bank and ordered him something
to eat. He ate ravenously, and
when he had finished the reporter
gathered from him the following
further particulars of his story.
Willian Baker, was once one of
the leading planters of Troupe
county. Before the war he was
quite well off and stood high among
his neighbors. The -war between
the States left him, as it left many
others, destitute and financially
ruined. He had no children, and
had married a second time. Bis
last wife had one daughter by her
former husband. This daughter is
the person for whom the old man
is now looking for in thU city.—
After the war he was too old to
succeed in the
TERRIBLE STRUGGLE
made by the poverty stricken peo
ple of the south after the war had
laid waste the country and brought
desolation and woe. His second
wife died, and the daughter mar
ried and moved away. Old age
stole away the strength of the man.
and he yielded to the inevitable,
became an object of charity and
was sent to the poor house of Troupe
county, where he has remained sev
eral years.
Anyone -who knows anything of
the swbjcct of this sketek and feels
interested in his case can find him
at police headquarters. He is pos
itive that his daughter, Mrs. Jane
Donnellson, lives in Atlanta, and if
this meets her eye, she will know
where to find her father.
To Make the Boys Happy
It is said that Mr. Zac T.. Na
bors, of Hall county, has discover
ee a recipe that will actually bring
beard to the face of any boy.
Simplicity of character is the
natural result of profound thought.
I EAT LEMONS AND LIYFOR
KYER.
i The Experience of a Man Who Con
| sumes 3,000 Lemons a Yeara.
Otto Fullgraff, M. D.,contributes
the following to the New York
Evening Post:
A paragraph in the Evning Post
of August 20th, referring to the
doctrine of that noted German, Dr.
Wilhiom Schmoele, that he who
eats lemons in sufficient abundance
need never die, inspires me to give
my personal experience of the
healthfnlness of lemon juice in the
shape of lemonade, particulary
for those persons who are subject
to frequent billions derangements
resulting in dizziness, yellow com
plexion and so-called ‘‘liver spots”
on the skin. In 1875 I began drink
ing lemonade regularly, taking the
entire juice two of three lemons at
a time in an ordinary goblet of
water, with a small teaspoonful of
sugar for each lemon, afterwards
rinsing my mouth with clear water
to remove the acid and sugar from
teeth and gums. With rare excep
tions, 1 have now taken lemonade
in this way four times daily for ten
years—on rising in the morning,
about M l o’clock p. no, half an hour
before dinner, and on retiring at
night; and whenever professional
duties prevented it, I have felt at
once the absence of the lemonade
in my system. I take only two
meals daily, but consume besids a
considerable quanity of fruit of the
season, such as grapes, peaches
oranges, melons, etc. I have no
taste for and do not use ale, porter,
wine or spirtits. Formerly my
ordinary weight was 150 pounds,
my height being, as now, 5 feet 7|
inches. For six or eight years
past I have weighed in the neigh
borhood of 190 pounds without
feeling any inconvenience. The
coating of my stomach is unimpair
ed, my step is quick and firm, and
I have the vigor of youth. Dur
ing tiie 43 years of my residnee in
New York I have not been out of
the city altogether more than six
months, and have been in uninter
rupted, active practice for over
thirty years. For twelve months
past I have indulged freely in surf
bathing in the season, usually at
Coney Island. My head is not
bald and there is but little gray in
my hair. lam stronger, both
physically and mentally, than I
was twenty years ago, and lam
taken by everybody to be ten or
fifteen years younger than I am.
Fashion in Cigarettes.
Philadelphia Press.
A young man with yellow stains
on his fingers went into a big to
bacco store on Chestnut street last
night, bought a package of cigar
rettes and proceeded to light one.
The burning alcohol from the light
er dropped on his fingers and
stung them; the young man with
yellow stains on his fingers snap
ped hem and held forth on the
subject m asterisks.
The man behind the counter
gravely, nodded his head. “We
dothat a good deal,” he said.
‘•Do what?” asked the young
man*
•‘Burn our fingers on cigarettes,”
answered the dealer. “It the worst
market in the world.”
“Manufacturers cutting each
other, ch?”
“That, but not so much that as
the change in fashion. Most of the
people who smoke cigarettes
change their brand as often as they
do their neckties. A cigarette-smok
ing dude, by himself, is not a very
terrible thing, but collectively he
can do no end of harm. For
Instance, a manufacturer in an ad
joining State was first in the mar
ket, and for years his brands were
the rage. Thinking himself secure
against all comers, he built the
grandest factory in America. Har
dly had he got the last row of
bricks laid when another manufac
turer corralcd an artist on a spree
and came out wiih a design on his
packages which was a marvel of aes
thetic beauty. Fashion changed,and
manufacurci number one has turn
ed his plase into a brewery. Thous
ands of dealers couldn’t change
their places into breweries and
were frightfully stuck. Since then
it has been a contest as to which
rnanufacurer can corral the
best artist ona spree. The style
changes at least once in six months,
and, although we protect ourselves
by carrying light stocks, every now
and then the cigarette market
i burns our fingers.”
ADRIAN-
{COntinutd from First pvge.)
Raising his hand the boy stag
gered back a pace. WilbcMy, spoke
out distinctly and impressively:
“An accident, a terrible acci
-1 dent to the train! Make haste and
come with me to rescue the wound
ed. They are dying in the ruins!”
After these words he fled back
to the scene of the wreck.
When he reached the place, the.
wooden cab attached to the engine
had caught fire and shed a bright
glare over every object. He could
see no human forms.
Before him at the point where a
car had been broken in two lava
' valise. Upon it in large letters in
black upon a card was written “A.
S.” Seeing instantly that the va
lise was Adrian Sterling’s the man
looked around to satisfy himself
that no eyes beheld what he did,
i and tearing the card from its place
lon the package, he threw it into
tire blazing fire.
In a few moments people com
i menced to pour in from the coun
try surrounding and every man
wont to work, searching in the
I debris after human bodies. Several
1 mangled forms were found and
drawn out, some with scarcely a
bone unbroken, and others killed
with one blow upon the head, or
internal injury by falling timbers,
among those placed with the dead
was the body of Adrian Sterling.
About 5 o’clock in the morning
a special clearing train with a force
to remove the wreck of the night
and to care for the wounded came
up.
In the meantime the physicians
had been at work .attempting, so far
as seemed possible, to dress the
wounds of those who were not, in
their opinion, beyond hope, while
those for burial upon the morrow
were placed alongside each other
upon blankets laid on the ground.
Wilberly made himself busily use
ful around the wounded ones, sup
posing the while, that Adiian was
at the end of his career on the
earth.
A young country physician pass
ing by where the hopeless ones were
placed fancied he heard a low
breathing among them and be stood
and listened a moment. The place
was dark, and no one was near ex
cept a negro man who was just
going up to his house for an axe.
The young doctor took from his
pocket a flask containing a little
brandy and pouring a portion of it
into the man’s mouth he discovered
a tremor in his limbs and a motion
of the lips, unmistakable evidences
of lingering life.
“Ah, this is a good chance to trv
my skill at restoring life to a pa
tient given up by the learned
brethren down yonder. Here Jake
(softly) help me a moment.”
They took up the form of the
prostrate passenger and disapeared
into the depth of the woods, the
Dr. making the negro promise to
say nothing of the matter to any
one, which as he was an old friend
and benefactor of the darkey, he
had no doubt would be kept sacred
ly secret. They took him to an
old frame house on the the side of
a stumpy country road and placed
him upon a bed of old oat straw
which they found in a coiner.

[The following articles on the
subject of love and Marriage were
given us by a smitten young gentle
man, with the request to publish.]
Jealousy and Flattery.
More women are won by judici
ous flattery than by any other
means, for every woman is more
or less vain, and she is naturally
fond of the man who finds her
weakness and handles it with skill.
Let a woman once imagine that she
has pretty eyes, and if a man will
tell her constantly and artfully, she
is certain to have a weakness for
him, which may be ea.fly fanned
into a flame of love, and ardent
love at that. That is merely an
example.
All women profess to hate men
who are jealous, but in this they
belie themselves extravagantly. No
woman ever loved a man violently
whom she was unable to infect
with a sting of the green eyed
monster. It is true that some wo-,
men arc fond of complacent, easy
going, and impassioned men, but,
as a rule, such fellows can never
inspire the geuine emotion. It is
your hot-headed, passionate, and
impulsive man who can drive a
woman to destraction. All women
arc more or less sentimental, and
so are all good men, for that mat
ter. Sentiment has nothing to do
with complacence. Therefore you
i underestand the drift of my argu
ment.
A man must be more or less hot
headed; he must be more or les
jealous,and more or less passionate
to inspire a woman with the love
that burns. The man who wouldn’t
kiss a woman when she tells with
her eyes that her lips arc yearn
ing is an idiot. I don’t mean by
this that kissing is at all necessary,
or even proper, but it is certainly
a part and parcel of the art of love
making. I believe in the rough ;
. ° I
old verse that dear little Lotta used
to sing about kissing.
Nobody Is above it;
Tiie old maids jove it,
And widows have a finder in the pie ;
Some people are so haughty
That they say it’s very naughty.
But you bet your life they do’ it »>n the sly. I

“Get Married, Young Men.’’
The Evening News, under the i
caption, “Get Married Young
Man,’’gives the following sound ad
vice. “We advise every young
man in Macon who has not already
done so to take upon himself the
conjugal relation,and in selecting a
wife choose one for her heart qual
ities and let love bo the ruling
principle. If you choos wisely she
will be a help mate and your life
will be filled with sunshine. Love
is the light. Take it away and the
world bocoines a barren wilder
ness. Love in marringe makes or
ganized households and prompts an
earnest endeavor for competency
and respectability. Marriage with
out love is a world without a sun.
Who can measure its height or its
depth? It shields us from tempta- j
tion; it takes the sting from disap
pointment; it breathes music into
the voice and footstep; it givs
power to effort and wings to prog
ress. The weddingmoon is the
happiest hour of human life, and
it breaks upon the young heart like
a gentle spring upon the flowers of
earth. Marriage is one of God’s
blessings, the source of tnc greatest I
possible happiness if lived prop- '
perly. Young men of Macon,
select you a good wife, treat her
tenderly and kindly and love her,
for her heart si her world—Love is
“woman’s whole existence.” Seis
ect for a wife one who possesses
those attributes of character which
wi’l always be found in
a true woman. Wealth cannot
bring happiness, and beauty soon
melts away like the dew drops on
morning flowers. Young man your
chances through life are better by
fifty per cent if you marry.”
A Plucky Woman.
Albany,September 16. —An Al
bany housewife had an opportunity
yesterday of exhibiting her pres
ence of mind. The family had
just moved, and, as night approch -
ed, it was found that the kerosene
can was missing. After dutifully
kindling a fire in the stove, the
gentlemen of the house went around
to the place they left to hunt up
the missing article, leaving his
wefe to cook supper. As soon is
the stove began to heat smoke was
seen to issue from the oven of the
stove, and an odor of kerosene fill
ed the kitchen. Quickly opening
the stove door, the lady dis
cove rep .the can, smoking hot, the
spout melted off. She lost no time
in removing it, anc, as she did so,
a portion of the oil was spilled on
the floor. This instantly made a
blaze, but the lady was equal to the
emergency and soon extinguished
it. It was afterwads found that
the drayman had chosen this re
markable place for storing kero
rene.
Novel Fact and. Fiction.
Is the soW province of the novel
“to hold the mirror up to nature,”
and show us ourselves with all our
ragged edges and sharp corners,
unrelieved ofa ny softening or he
roic treatment? or is it to so weave
the ideal into the real that we, the
rea d ere,may find ourselves renewed
and cheered with fresh inspiration
for the task of daily living—sinde
assuredly it goes without saying
that for the majority of us life is
a task and a grinding one; for the
tew the worldly success of the dal
lar, for the many unceasing toil
and mental strain to the end.
From this point of views the de
mand would seem to be for a fic
tion that shall help to sweeten life.
1 This realm, pure bull simple, will
i never du. While one cun noi fait
! to apprccmfb th<ruse of reality as
the ground-work of out* fiction, as
of other art \ one can look above
and beyond it to that power of the
i imagination which shall take us up
'to a higher plane of thought and
j action, pointing the not impossible
way for humun nature to heroic
aims and ends. Moral lessons
; alone, together with faithful repro
, dilutions of the hard and prosaic
I details of the life about ns.cpnnot

' heart nor ease the weary mind.

matter of fact,common,vulgar? All
the freater neeed would appear of

as the pioneer of realism in Amer
! ica, has struck a clear, honest, sar
i reaching note, a note to be respec
i ted and ad mired, but that there is
