Uncle Sam and John Bull, since

We have not heard anything
about free silver, sound money,

be a pleasure to read some money
editorials. However, The Citizen
is not going to write them.
Another war or two, and Spain
will have nothing on which she
can base peace negoations, for she
is too poverty stricken to pay a
money indemnity, and without a
few islands to hand out she would
be where Moses was when the
light went out. She cannot settle
war claims with Spanish diplomacy
any longer.
Originally a protocol was a
small sheet pasted on at the be
ginning of a document giving a
synopsis of it. It is derived from
the Greek, protos, first, and kolla,
glue.—Macon Telegraph.
That being the case we now
have the glue to mend up the de
funct Spanish navy.
The associated charities of At
lanta are arranging to put up a
fish trap in the car shed down
there so as to distribute fish to the
poor.
SEWERAGE AND LIGHTS,
That Dalton needs a thorough
system of sewerage and electric
lights has been discussed pro and
con for the past year, and is still
being discussed. The Citizen
fears that, like a great many other
good things which have been dis
cussed, that Dalton so sorely
needs, it will wane with the dis
cussing.
It is generally understood that
the city fathers are heartily in
favor of sewerage and lights, and
we cannot believe otherwise, for
they are too broad-minded to op
pose such a measure. It remains
for the citizenry to decide, and we
hope they will decide right.
Why not take action ?
Why not issue bonds, payable
say in ten, fifteen or twenty years ?
We would have just as good
streets and sidewalks as we now
have, and the taxation, per capita,
but a little higher. Then with
the lights we could tolerate our
bad sidewalks and streets with a
degree of pleasure, knowing that
when we went about at night we
were not liable to fall into a sink
hole, or adown some embankment
into a cess pool of filth emitted
from the end of some private sew
er pipe.
With typho-malarial fever
abroad in the country it is a won
der that Dalton is not in the
throes of one of the worst epidem
ics that has ever infested any city.
It seems that Divine Providence
has inaugurated a protectorate ov
er Dalton, and is seeing to it that
the dreaded disease is not allowed
to make homes desolate, and
chairs vacant around the firesides.
Citizens of Dalton! awake
from your lethargy to the realiza
tion of a long neglected duty.
Your senses are steeped in slum
ber, and while you sleep the germs
and microbes of disease are laying
plans to make Dalton a valley of
dry bones.
We must have a system of sew
erage and electric lights. Neces
sity demands it. The Citizen
does not want to appear pessim
istic, nor wear the cloak of a
chronic grumbler, but it cannot
refrain from calling attention to
such flagrant neglects of the com
mon welfare of the city by its
people.
When you see an Atlantian with
a hook and line you can blow your
small change on it he’s away to
the car shed for a day’s fishing.
He thus saves taking a jug and
lunch basket—both are handy. A
case of the mountain coming to
Mohomed.
England and Russia are trying
to get into a scrap over a railway
concession in China. They should
send representatives to this country
and see how it is worked in munic
ipal corporations and it would save
lots of blood shed and perhaps
some money.
Scott’s
Emulsion
through the winter? If so, we
are sure it quieted your cough,
healed the rawness in your
throat, increased your weight,
gave you more color, and made
you feel better in every way.
But perhaps your cough has
come back again, or you are get
ting a little thin and pale.
Then, why not continue the
same helpful remedy right
through the summer? It will do
you as much good as when the
weather is cold.
Its persistent use will certainly
give you a better appetite and a
stronger digestion.
It will cure your
weak throat and heal
your inflamed lungs.
It will cure every case
of consumption, when
a cure is possible.
Don’t be persuaded
to take something they say is just
as good.

MR. LYNN’S LIFE.
The death of Mr. A. W. Lynn
was merely the putting of his
hands in those of God and passing
through the intervening gate. His
life was perhaps the most exem
plary one in this city. The love
for both God and his fellow-man
was so mingled in him that its
stream ever flowed with a bright
ness seldom combined in one—not
impaired or chilled by aught of
bigot sentiment that mars, too oft,
its music in these earthly vales or
check its pure expansion.
A gentleman, who had contend
ed with him once in a prohibition
election, said to the writer that
“Alex Lynn wont let a fellow stay
angry with him. He’s just so for
giving that I’ve always been
ashamed of the part I took in that
election.” If there’s one thing
above another Christ loves it is
the forgiving spirit in us. This
Mr. Lynn possessed in a remark
able degree. He bore no unjust
resentment and carried no spark
of bitterness in his nature. Only
a true Christian could thus live.
He was gracious and courteous to
strangers—which marked the pure
citizenship of this world and that
his heart was no cut off island, but
a continent that joins to others.
He was compassionate towards the
afflictions of others, proving his
heart like the myrrh tree, which
feels the wound itself when it
give Dut the balm to others. He
so remitted the faults of others
that set his own heart too high to
be reached by the shot from others.
He was as thankful for the small
trade of the poor as the largest of
orders from the rich, proving he
was able to weigh men and not
their trash. He lived with St.
Paul’s ideal, “Therefore I endure
all things for the elect’s sake, that
they may also obtain the salvation
which is in Christ Jesus with eter
nal glory.” In Mr. Lynn we
could always “mark the perfect
man and behold the upright.”
The end of this man is peace.
A POINTER FOR HILL HEN.
The Columbus, Ga., Enquirer-
Sun says : The Massachusetts mills
located near Rome, Ga., can give
mills in the east some pointers.
This mill was erected at a cost of
$750,000, and the owners have
just decided to double the capacity
of the plant. There is money in
cotton manufacturing in the south
and mills can thrive in this section
while those in the east perish.
Dalton is at this moment doub
ling the capacity of her own mills
built by her own capital and de
claring a forty-four and one-third
per cent, dividend. We repeat a
forty-four and one-third per cent,
dividend.
It is said an eight pound trout
was caught with a fish hook in
the Atlanta car shed this week.

A Strange Power.
Augusta, August 17.—A clair
voyant and magnetic healer in
Augusta predicts that Major Mc
Kinley’s successor will be assassi
nated in the third year of his term.
Her name is Mrs. R. P. Ward and
she lives at 629 Ellis street. It is
claimed in an interview with Mrs.
Ward in the Augusta Herald that
she has correctly prophesied many
important events in that city which
have come to pass, such as fires,
failures, political changes, law
suits, tragedies and deaths. In a
recent breach of promise suit her
evidence was given with telling
effect. The rise and fall of the
cotton market has also been cor
rectly foretold by her, as those who
profited by her advice have cause
to remember.
Possibly one of the strongest
1 demonstrations of her occult pow
er was evidenced on the night of
April 18th, when she told a party
of friends who were spending the
evening with her that that very
night the senate would give its de
cision on the question of war and
that before morning war would be |
declared.
Hitherto she has kept her light
hid under a bushel, but she is, re
gardless of this, being found out,
and it is no infrequent thing for
her to be consulted by detectives
in regard to their work when they
are stalled for want of a clue.
In picturing mentally the ap
pearance of a clairvoyant, fortune
teller, astrologer or any of the oc
cult reasoners, one is usually in
clined to think of them as entirely
different from the ordinary per
sonage of the nineteenth century,
and Mrs. Ward’s remarkable phys
ical appearance entitles her to
something out of the ordinary.
To glance at her casually one sees
a pleasant-faced woman, who has
already passed into the afternoon
of life, but a closer glance shows
her to be a most peculiarly marked
woman, the entire left side of her
face being one style of features,
bearing a strong resemblance to
her mother, and the right side her
father's, a different type alto
gether. For instance her left ear,
cheek, eyebrow and nostril are
totally different from her right;
her left arm is rounded and comely
and her left hand a good fit for a
No. 6 1-2 glove. In striking con
trast to this is her right arm, which
is as strong and muscular as a
man’s, and her right hand a close
fit in a No. 7 glove. She is fluent,
versatile, affable and voluble, and
her voice is exceedingly pleasant.
Mrs. Ward says her peculiar gift
is an inheritance, that her mother
was a clairvoyant and her father a
ventriloquist.
Ordinarily there is nothing of
the occult in Mrs. Ward’s appear
ance, but when engaged in her
work a dreamy, hazy look steals
over her face, her eyes droop in a
languorous manner and she seems
to become almost rigid ; every now
and then her body seems affected
with a rigor, caused doubtless by
the electric current established be
tween herself and her subject.

Truth is at the bottom of a well.
Knowledge is not drawn from a
hydrant.
Impatience wears out more fiber
than work. Self-poise is a better
nervine than extracts and ano
dynes.
Probably the holiest one in the
world is not the one who forgives
an injury, but the one who forgives
a kindness.
There is no service like the ser
vice of him who serves because he
loves.
Every little act of unselfishness,
every little deed of love, takes us
nearer God.
