One of Trickums Prominent
Citizens Meets Death.
HOW THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED.
He Had Gone to the Creek for a
Short Fishing Trip But
Never Returned.
Crow, Ga., August 25, 1897.
—Since our last letter our com
munity has paased through some
sad scenes.
On last Saturday 14, Mr.
Bates, one of Trickum’s substan
tial citizens, went out to Chicka-
mauga creek to look after his fish
hooks. He went before breakfast
as it was only a short distance to
the creek. He did not return as
was expected, but the family did
not feel uneasy supposing he had
gone to a neighbors, as he was in
the habit of going off without say
ing anything about it. Saturday
passed and most of Sunday when
they learned that he had not been
seen by any of the neighbors.
Late Sunday afternoon a search
ing party was organized and the
hunt began. His knife was found
lying on the creek bank and this
gave the first clew. About eleven
o’clock Sunday night he was
found in about seven feet of wa
ter standing upright" on the bot
tom. When he was taken out a
sad sight met the eyes of the
searchers, his face had been terri
bly mutilated by the turtles. He
was carried to his grief stricken
home and from there was buried
Monday afternoon at Dunegans,
Rev. Chastain officiating. He was
subject to epilepsy and it is sup
posed he had an attack while on
the creek bank and fell in.
On Wednesday afternoon
Grandfather Pope, one of the old
est citizens of this section, was
buried at Rocky Face cemetery by
Rev. Chastain.
Also on Thursday afternoon a
little child of Mr. Leroy was bur
ied at Tunnel Hill.
Miss Lizzie Ashworth, of Trick-
um, is lying at the point of death
with consumption.
Mr. John Yeager is busy haul
ing his fine crop of apples to the
brandy still near Salem.
Capt. White, the old veteran, is
reveling in fine watermelons and
watching his corn and cotton
grow. The Captain says his crop
is as good as he wants it to be and
he is contented.
Miss Fanny Russell, one of our
most popular young ladies, is suf
fering from a serious attack of
cold, which came near ending in
pneumonia.

News From Tilton.
Tilton, August 25, 1897.—
The M. E. church of this place is
justly proud of the interest shown
by all in the “ shingling party ”
Friday last. The hands numbered
thirty-five and fared sumptuously
at the picnic dinner given on the
grounds by the Ladies’ Aid Society.
It was remarkable what progress
was made. After dinner was par
taken of new life seemed to be in
serted in every one. The ham
mers nailing shingles and the saws
sawing weather-boarding, all re
sounded and rang through wood
and dell, and it is said could be
heard for miles. All enjoyed
themselves hugely, and on such
short notice this was indeed a
startling success.
Now the shingles and weather
boarding are on, and the rest is
inside work.
On the evening of that same
eventful day the birthday party
was held and quite an assembly
gathered in the school house to
hear Prof. S. J. Perry and his
music class dispense some interest
ing music, in the main sacred.
Everyone that knows Prof. Perry
and his charming daughter, real
izes at once what inusic can be
brought out of the boys and girls
of Tilton and vicinity.
The musical program over, all
adjourned to the salle-a-manger
and enjoyed to their heart’s con
tent the delicacies and sweet meats
provided by the generous and lav
ish hands of the society.
There was one disappointment
in the fa.ct that Rev. J. W. Bale
was unable to be. present to ad
dress the; gathering, and I feel as
sured that we missed a goodly
part of the program. We all
kno w and appreciate brother Bale’s
sermons, and taking them as cri
terion, we positively know that
his address would have met with
the approval of all. Mr. Bale is a
bom hustler, and has done some
good work for Tilton, of which all
are very thankful.

A Glorious Day Spent Last Satur
day at Pleasant Grove.—A
Large Crowd.
It seems that an attempt to
write up the Sunday-school Con
vention at this place would be su
perfluous as everybody and all
their kinfolks were there. Will
only say that the crowd was good-
looking and the speaking and mu
sic were fine. The talks of Mr.
Witham were especially fine.
Judge Brooker was gladly heard
by bis old friends who are always
glad to clasp his hand, and listen
to his eloquent talks.
In the singing contest Grove
Level took the banner, though the
fine singing of Dug Gap was
highly complimented by the crowd.
It would be interesting to see every
school in the county engage in
this contest. The possession of
the banner is a small matter, but
the partial good to the contestants
would be a lasting benefit, musi
cally. We hope that another year
Grove Level will have to hold the
honor by excelling all others.
The protracted meeting at this
place has been in progress about
ten days, and has resulted, up to
date, in about ten accessions to
the church. The pastor, Rev. W.
R. Kennedy, has been ably assisted
by Revs. Keith and Edmondson.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The addresses of Mr. Witham
and Rev. John Mecklin were splen
did as anticipated, and Mr. Liddell
is to be congratulated upon the
success of the convention. The
crowd was a large one and splen
didly behaved. Every section of
the county was represented. The
Citizen made a master stroke by
distributing several hundred extra
copies that was greatly appreciated
by the big crowd who could be
seen all over the ground at noon
reading its interesting pages.

No
Theory Here.
The greatest claims for S.S.S. (Swift’s
Specific) are made by those whom it has
cored, and after all the most valuable
reputation is one which is given by those
who speak from experience. We could
publish a page of what we claim S.S.S.
will do, but the people prefer to read
of what it has done, and hence we give
the testimony of reputable, well-known
people in different parts of the country,
who gladly tell of how S.S.S. has cured
them of blood diseases, after trying
other treatment in vain.
No wonder S.S.S. has such staunch
friends. The experience of those who
take it to-day will be the same as of
those who twenty years ago found it the
only cure. Blood diseases are obstinate,
ana cannot be cared by one medicine
in a dozen which claims to core them;
so when S.S.S. is taken with satisfactory
results, after a disappointing experi
ence with other remedies, it is not
strange that it has grateful friends by
the score.

A distinction without a differ
ence amounts to but little. There
is a difference—a real difference—
a vast difference .between Suther
land’s Eagle Eye Salve and any
other. The greatest difference is
in the results obtained from its
use. It cures sore eyes, granu
lated lids and styes quicker than
any known remedy and cannot in
jure the eye of a babe.

MR. WHJJAM SOWERS.
Mr. William Sowers, of Bradford . Ohio,
was cured by S.S.S. ten years ago of a
severe blood poison, and writes that to
this day no sign of the dreadful disease
has ever returned. He says:
“I had a terrible blood disease which
is considered incurable, and was treated
for a long time by the best physicians,
but they did me no good. The disease
seemed to get a firmer hold on me, and
attacked my tongue and throat, which
were soon full of vile ulcers.
“I changed doctors several times, and
afterwards took nearly every blood rem
edy on the market, without the slightest
benefit. After five years of treatment
which did me no good whatever, I was
induced to try S.S.S. This remedy
proved itself equal to the case, for in a
few months I was entirely cored and my
skin was perfectly clear and smooth.
I could hardly believe that the core was
permanent, but ten years have elapsed
and no sign of the disease has yet ap
peared.”
S.S.S. is a sure core for Cancer, Ca
tarrh, Contagious Blood Poison, Scrof
ula, Rheumatism, Eczema, and all other
blood diseases, which other remedies
have no effect whatever upon. It is
