The railway station of all places
in the world is the one where
heart sorrows and joys are exposed
to the casual observer. Greetings
and partings, smiles and tears,
mingle all day long, but alas, as is
the way in this mundane sphere,
the sombre, rather than the sun-
shiney side is more frequently up
permost.
The other day an old lady, ac
companied by a younger woman
and a man sat apart from a mov
ing throng of passengers hastening
to and from the trains. Her pa
tient face. was veiy sad, the soft
brown eyes looked wistfully at her
companions, and the thin lips
bravely tried to resolve themselves
into a smile whenever they spoke,
but it was all too palpable to those
near her that the smile was an
effort, the slightly tremulous
movement showing how much
nearer she was to tears than to
smiles.
. Little by little, as the trio con
versed, the nearby ones learned
that these three were going to the
far west to take up a new life
made necessary by reverses here.
To the young couple there was
something of romantic adventure
in the thought, they looked for
ward to happy days yet to come.
The new scenes to which they
were going were attractive in an
ticipation, but none of their pros
pective happiness was contagious
as far as their companion was con
cerned. To her life had come to
a sudden and painful ending. Old
associations and old ties uprooted
after years of heart comminglings.
This going away meant nought of
joyous anticipation for her. Her
existence was done. Around the
home that she was leaving were
wound the memories of her young
wifehood. In that home she had
borne her children, had seen her
busband pass into the great be
yond. She was going away from
the spot that was not only a famil
iar upbuilding of brick and stone
but the casket of precious mem
ories. No wonder the dear old
face bore the shadow of pain upon
it, no wonder the tears would fall.
Ah, sad indeed it was when
change must come into the settled
life of old people. Such change
means the very bursting asunder
of heart strings, the destruction of
that atmosphere of content that
means so much more to the aged
than to the young and ambitious
ever looking toward the future.
As the train steamed out our own
eyes were wet with team, our own
heart breaking with sympathy for
the patient soul who was leaving
behind her all that had made for
her the sum and substance of her
existence.
A mother who-e daughters are
all happily married, referring to
the subject of elopements and all
marriages sanctioned by the bride’s
parents, recently said: “ I think
the trouble in such matte is is
largely owing to the mistaken
treatment which the daughters re
ceive from the members of their
family circle. Their brothers, if
brothers they possess, are not apt
to make much of them, and the
father and mother are so taken up
with the cares of existence that
they unwittingly fall into the er
ror of appearing indifferent to the
budding beauty of their daugh
ters. Every woman’s heart longs
for love. Compliments and en
dearing words are as sunshine to
a growing plant, and if there is a
lack of these at home is it any
wonder that when a young man
comes ^along and tells a young
girl that she is the sweetest thing
on earth she feels that she has
been unappreciated for years, and
imagines that to dwell forever
with an individual who adores her
and who recognizes hei charm,
will be the acme of human happi
ness ?
“I made up my mind when my
girls were babies that they should
never have to look for admiration
away from home. It was the rule
in our household to give them ev
ery pleasure within our power, to
tell them when they looked well
and to be as complimentary and
gracious as though they Were the
young ladies of a neighbor’s house
hold. And so they were not up
set by the first chance words of
admiration from u stranger, and
having always been given to un
derstand that what could be af
forded was theirs they were not
prompted to run off to better their
condition. Runaway matches are
seldom made in heaven, but are
brought about, as I said in the
beginning, through a natural long
ing for affection that has been
wanting in places where it should
be expected to come from first.”

John Allen’s Humorous Speeches.
John Allen never made but one
speech without telling a story.
In the debate on the pension bill
he retailed two that are still on
their travels. The first was con
cerning a little Georgia girl whose
prayer he heard as he was coming
to Washington. After praying
for her father, mother, sisters and
brothers, the preacher,.the Sunday
school teacher, and the heathen,
she continued : “ And now, oh,
Lord, take good care of yourself
for you know you and McKinley
are all we have to depend on, and
it don’t look like McKinley was
going to do anything for us.
The second story was concern
ing a blue and gray reunion in
Missouri. A Confederate and a
Federal soldier became chummy.
They recalled the war times and
were enjoying themselves in great
shape in a saloon. The Federal
thumped the Confederate on the
back and said: “Well, Johnnie, we
fought on opposite sides during
the war, but if another war comes
we will be found under the same
old flag, shoulder to shoulder,
fighting together for our govern
ment.” The Confederate replied:
‘‘Well, we’uns will, but you’uns
won’t.” This roiled the Federal,
who said: “Why do you say that
we won’t be fighting under the old
flag together?” “Why, you’uns
can’t fight,” the Confederate re
plied, “and we’uns can. The pen
sion roll shows that you’uns were
all disabled.”
Most druggists sell you what
you ask for. Some will ask you
to take something winch they
claim is “just as good.” Some
times a little more profit induces
them to do this. Dr. Bell’s Pine
Tar Honey is the best cough, cold
and grip cure. After you try it
once you will like it to well to ac
cept any substitute.

A Tragedy at a Ohurch near Blue Kidge
FoUowed by a Lynching. _
Blue Ridge, Ga., Feb. 13.—The
country around here is greatly ex
cited over a bloody murder and
the subsequent killing of the mur
derer by attendants at the church,
the murder taking place in a
country church to-day. •
The arrival of Mr. Weekes to
call upon the sheriff and posse to
proceed to the scene of the trage
dy and restore quiet, brought the
first news of the terrible occur
rence. The sheriff at once sum
moned a strong force, and is now
absent upon this mission.
It seems that the congregation
of the church, situated about
twelve miles distant from this
point, had quietly assembled for
the purpose of devotion, while
some of the young men remained
outside to discuss the topics of the
day rather than enter the house of
worship. A young man named
Rawlins from North Carolina, who
has been visiting this section,
made his appearance and was pro
ceeding quietly toward the church
door when some of the boys be
gan poking fun at him because'of
some peculiarity in his gait.
The words spoken were so of
fensive that Rawlins turned around
to reply to what was said, when a
young man named Frey began
abusing him. The two men came
together and the young North Car
olinian was about to get the best of
the fight when Whit Dillard an
other of the onlookers, drew his
pistol and fired at Rawlins. The
ball entered the man’s face on the
left cheek and ranging to the
back of his neck killing him in
stantly, and he died in the clutch
es of his adversary.
By this time everybody within
hearing was aroused and the deep
est indignation prevailed that the
young men should have precipita
ted a tragedy in such a place.
Dillard had quietly slipped away
with several of his companions.
Esquire Galloway, one of the
leading citizens, and a number
of responsible men got together
and decided that the foul tragedy
should be avenged. Mounting
their horses 1j^ey put out in pur
suit and soon overtook the flying
homicide. He was called upon to
surrender, but paid no attention to
the command. Finally, when he
saw that the men were in earnest
he backed himself against a tree,
announced that he would die
game. Then the firing began,
when a bullet from the posse
struck him with fatal effect and
he fell to the ground with his fin
ger upon the trigger of his pistol,
dying in the very act of giving re
sponse to his assailants.
All conservative and law abid
ing people endorge the action of
the posse, but the dead man had
friends and trouble is expected
from that quarter.
Colonel Candler’s Letter.
Without any solicitation on my
part* I find myself a candidate for
the democratic nomination for
governor of Georgia. The men
who are behind the movement are
uot the professional politicians,
“the men who control,” but the
rank and file of our party, the
great middle class who pay the
taxes and bear the burdens of
government. I have never seen
such an uprising of the common
people in my life. It is a rebel
lion against the men and their
methods who r ivished the Demo
cratic party in 1894 and have
dominated it ever since. The
men, who by methods peculiar to
themselves, deprived Gen. Evans
of the nomination after he had
fairly won it. I was against them
and their methods then and they
are against me now. I therefore
feel at liberty to call on those who
stood with me by Gen. Evans in
that contest to stand by me now.
We fought them in the same
phalanx for pure democracy and
clean methods with Gen. Evans as
our leader. Now that the same
flag has been put into my hand
and I am battling as he did for
the same principles, I invoke that
support for myself that we all
gave the General at that time.
Then by political trickery we lost,
now by united action and honest
methods we will win. We are
right and the people are with us.
Many who were with the tricksters
and traders then, disgusted with
their methods, are with us now.
Let us therefore be vigilant and
active and we will in October
bury them and their nefarious
methods so deep that the hand of
resurrection will never reach them.
Sincerely yours,
A. D. Candler.
