Death of Dr. Boyd.
The sad death of Dr. Montague
1 Bovd in Savannah last week,
as was briefly noted in The Ci ri-
Z en, occured at his home, 109
Liberty street, surrounded by his
w if e and children. The Citizen
ex ends its sympathy to the be
reaved ones. Of his death the
Savannah News says editorially.
‘The death of Dr. Boyd will oc
casion keen sorrow in a thousand
homes, and sincere regret through-
ought the whole city. It is inex
pressively sad that so bi llliant a
career as his, and one so fruitful
of benefits and benefactions to suf
fering humanity, should be cut off
while yet in the ascendency. It
is in consonance with his noble
spirit, however, that his life should
have been laid down in conse
quence of an act of charity.
Captain Maples Dead.
Captain Maples, of Kaufman,
Texas, died last week. Of his
death The Kaufman Sun says :
“ He had no relatives in Kauf
man, his nearest living relative
being his sister, Mrs. Martha Cate,
of Minneola. She, one of her
sons, her two daughters-in-law, a
nephew, James C. Rudd, of Tem
ple, Texas, and a niece, Mrs. Alice
Sugg, of Bosque county, were
present at the time of his death.
Judge Horace Cate, the Captain’s
favorite nephew, did not arrive
from Minneola until Sunday morn-
ing.” •
Captain Maples was one of the
richest men in his section, and
conspicionsly identified with varied
interests there.
Uncle Bob Gray Dead.
Mr. R. T. Gray, of Graysville,

Deafness Cannot lie Cured
by locaUapplications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
cofist itutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachain Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rub-
ling sound of imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless
the inflamation can be taken" out
and this tube restored to its nor
mal condition, bearing will be de
stroyed forever (nine cases*out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

SHE ADMITS HER GUILT
Between the Lines of an Affidavit ‘Before
the Justice.
Greenville, Ala., Feb. 14.—
The ultra sensational was sprung
in the circuit court Saturday when
Gaffcrd’s attorneys made motion,,
for a new trial on the grounds of
bias and prejudice of the jury and
on new evidence.
This latter is the sacrifice of
Mrs. Miller to save her brother.
By affidavit made soon after she
arrived last night she charges
Lloyd with wanting the life of
Gafford and acknowledges that she
would have suffered the killing to
proceed without warning, because
she liked Lloyd better than her
brother John. Between the lines
a confession of intimacy is appar
ent, but is not open
An Incident of Victor Hugo’s Life.
At a recent meeting of the
Lesche I remarked the enthusiasm
with which the members are pur
suing the study of Les Miserables.
It, put me to thinking of a story
which I heard upon the deck of an
ocean steamship some months
since. The narator was a lady,
presumably French. It was rela
tive to the author of that wonder
ful novel, Les Miserables, or rather
it was a description of the celebra
tion of his eightieth birthday in
Paris some sixteen years ago. Ac
cording to her description it was
the most extraordinary act of
affectionate homage' ever paid to
a private citizen during his own
life. Almost eveiy organized body
in Paris took part in the festival.
A procession of over five thousand
amateur musicians and singers,
together with bands, private citi
zens and soldiery was formed upon
a public square and marched to
the* great author’s home, in front
of which standsffiad been erected,
decorated with'flovvers, flags and a
beautiful portrait of himself, his
wife and his grandchildren sus
pended from an arch. Victor
Hugo had objected to the festival,
but as the procession of three
hundred thousand persons passed
by his borne the venerable and be
loved Frenchman, poet and liter
ateur stood bareheaded at an open
window, his face radiant with joy
as he observed the warm sincerity
. ith which he was greeted. It
was said that of all the incidents
of the occasion nothing gave the
aged hero so much pleasure as a
visit paid him early in the morn-
ing by a very little maiden dressed
in white, who recited a poem
written for the occasion.
It was said the other evening
by a Lesche girl that no other
French author - has written so
beautifully of children as Victor
Hugo, and it seems, therefore, be
coming that children bore their
part in that festival. Though
Victor Hugo stands at the head
of European literature, this cele
bration was not given to him solely
as a great author. It was to the
patriot as well as to the poet that
this unparalelled mark of respect
was paid. I notice that the
French always speak of Victor
Hugo as the poet, while Americans
think of him mostly as the novelist
or dramatist. I know that his
poetical works fill many volumes,
but I have seen very little of his
poetry in our own language,
suppose that French poetry pre
sents many difficulties to trans
lators, yet it is to be regretted that
some of our own poets do not
translate into English verse more
of the poetry of Victor Hugo;
meantime we will continue the
study of the interesting character
of Jean Val Jean, and through
that' study we canllearn much of
the heart of its creator, for if the
Frenchman’s estimate of Victor
Hugo be a true one, there never
beat a nobler heart than his.

THE LARGE8T 8EED HOUSE IN THE SOOTH.
Pulpit Pyrotechnics.
“Resolved, That oratory in the
pulpit is a potent factor in ad
vancing the kingdom of Christ on
earth.”
In looking over the reports of
Georgia’s denominational colleges
the writer noticed the above sub
ject was one of recent debate by
the college societies.
Alas, that the day should have
come when intellectuality, instead
of spirituality, should be recog
nized by the church as a “potent
factor” in tlie world’s evangeliza
tion. Education and culture are
greatly to be desired both in and
out of the pulpit, but intellectual
ity alone will never lead a soul
heavenward. If there is in God’s
house anything that becomes
wearisome to a soul that is “hun
gering and thirsting after right
eousness,” it is am elaborate dis
course, treating of obtruse sub
jects, or handling plain and prac
tical verities in a metaphysical
manner. When Christ preached
“the common people heard him
gladly.” This cannot be said of
some of our modern pulpit orators
who, in straining after the appear
ance of learned profundity, so
“confound the language with long-
tailed words in osity and ation,”
that the common people shun
them. Most of us want some
thing level with our comprehen
sion. We want a plain piece of
gospel bread, well prepared and
well baked, but without any sci
entific demonstrations of its chem
ical elements or profound reason-
ing in defense of its nutritive
qualities. If we are to master and
and digest some sermons ad-j
dressed to us, we really break the |
Sabbath, for with such a task to
perform the idea of resting from
our labors is a delusion. It re
quires more effort to follow and
understand some of our pulpit or
ators than it does to master any
week day business or profession
But as it is conceded there is rest in
change, we might without break
ing the Sabbath labor to digest the
highly seasoned viands offered us
under the name of the bread of
life. May the Lord hasten the
time when the church will recog
nize her true power and glory,
and again be the “woman clothed
with the sun, with the moon be
neath her feet.”
Kind, loving words and helping hands
Will win more souls to heaven,
Than all the intellectual feasts
By priests and sages given. *

Rheumatism
Is a blood disease and only a blood reme
dy can cure it. So many people make
the mistake of taking remedies which
at best are only tonics and cannot possi
bly reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith,
Greencastle, Indiana, says: “For years
I have suffered with Sciatic Rheuma
tism, which the best physicians were un
able to relieve. I took many patent
medicines but they did not seem to
reach my trouble. I gradually grew
worse until I -was un
able to take my food
or handle myself in
any way; I was abso
lutely helpless. Three
bottles of S.S.S. re
lieved me so that I
was soon able to move
my right arm; before
long I could walk
across the room, and
when I had finished one dozen bottles
was cured completely and am as well as
ever. I now w.eigh 170.”
A Real Blood Remedy.
S.S.S. cures Scrofula, Cancer, Eczema,
and any form of blood troubles. If you
have a blood disease, take a blood medi
cine—S.S.S. (guaranteedpurely vegeta-
table') is exclusively for the blood and
is recommended for nothing else. It
