Meekison of Ohio
Has Been Greatly Benefited by
Pe-ru-na.
Congressman D. Meekison of Ohio, writes
the following letter to Dr, Hartman,
Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, O.
Deab Sib:—I have used several hot*
’ties of Pe-ru-na and feel greatly bene
fited thereby. I have been afflicted
Thursday, May n, 1899.
The idea of Grover Cleveland
being "appointed to fill the chair
of American politics, which he le-
cently endowed for. $100,000 at
Princeton, looks very much as
though the trustees of that insti
tution don’t care to have too much
politics propounded. Grover is
no politician, nor does he know
much politics, else he would to
day be the recognized leader of a
great political organization in
stead of being compelled to try to
create a job for himself in which
there will at least be dignity, if
nothing more.
The negroes can accomplish
nothing by espousing the cause of
Hose, nor can the whites gain
anything by indorsing the work
of the mob. Two monstrous
crimes were committed, both of
which are a serious reflection up
on civilization. The better class
of whites and blacks can well af
ford to unite and exert their in
fluence in removing the cause
which results in such frightful
savagery as that which stains the
good name of Georgia.—Americus
Times-Recorder.

•with catarrh of the head and feel en
couraged to believe that continued
use of Pe-ru-na will fully eradicate a
disease of thirty years’ standing.
Yours sincerely,
D. MEEKISON.
The continued receipt of endorse
ments like this for Dr. Hartman’s
great catarrh remedy, prove its value
beyond question. Men of prominence
everywhere are recognizing the merit of
Pe-ru-na and are willing to give expres
sion to their judgment because a certain,
absolute cure for catarrh is a publio
good. AH druggists sell Pe-ru-na

The Citizen wishes [every farm
owner in Whitfield county could
could travel over the pike roads
of Walker county. There is no
use in trying to sell a farm to ad
vantage that lies by such roads as
we have. There is a desirable
class of Northern and Eastern
farmers who want to come South
and locate, but never prospect un
til after Christmas, which is the
worst time in the year to show off
a Whitfield farm. Macadam roads
will enhance the value of your
farm at least thirty per cent.
To its population there is not a
more substantial, healthy, pros
perous, or progressive city in the
south than Dalton. It is a city
of cultured people and happy
hojnes. If its fire department
does not carry home many prizes
there will be some disappointed
people.—Rome Tribune.
Governor Candler kissed every
pretty girl at Chickamauga Park
last Thursday, except one.
The legislature of Florida has
passed a good roads bill and pro
poses to get in front of the proces
sion.
Chattanooga has the art of en
tertainment down to a fine point.
Burned to Death.
News reached here this morn
ing, by phone, that Dr. L. P. Bag-
well, his three children and an old
lady, housekeeper, were burned to
death last night. The news was
confirmed to The Citizen. Dr.
Bagwell was one of the best
known citizens offthis section, and
the horrible burning has thrown a
deep gloom over the entire coqnty.
Two young men, who were in the
burning building, barely escaped.
The origin of the fire could not
be learned.
You Know that tired feeling
is exceedingly disagreeable. What
is far better, you may know, by a
fair trial, that HoodV Sarsaparilla
entirely cures it.
Hood’s Pills ,gjure Dausea, sick
headache, biliousness, indigestion.
Price 25 cents.
The Dreyfus affair in France
caused the secretury of war to re
sign last week, and well he did.
Dreyfus is innocent and will be
proven so if the court of Cassateon
has one honest man in it.
Republican domination of Bal
timore didn’t last long. The dem
ocrats are again in control of the
city, and that means that Mary
land will swing back into line
with the “ solid south.”
Dewey is to be given a ten
thousand dollar dinner in New
York when he returns. Now this
is the kind of dinner that gives
all the editors a chance to attend.
The New Bedford (Mass.)
Standard and the Elkhart (Ind.)
Review, both republican papers,
say that the hanging of Sam Hose
was the correct thing.
Miss Grant, daughter of Col.
Fred Grant, is to marry a Russian
Prince. She has probably for
gotten her Uncle Sartoris and
Aunt Nellie.
Chattanooga must be proud of
3r two newspapers and the liberal
ray they advertised the Festival,
id the success it brought.
The State of Florida is becom
ing stirred up over the good road
question.
The Lesche Club.
The Lesche club will adjourn
May 22d. The educational com
mittee has a night school for chil
dren of the cotton factory opera
tives that are unable to send in
the day. An entertainment soon,
consisting of recitations, music c j ya p s p 0em:
and other features will close the
year’s work. Shakespeare will be
the course for next year, includ
ing original papers, poems and es
says.
' > PART I.
Ye have come, bright birds, from a sun-
ny .clime r
Of the . orange grove and the fragrant
lime,
Of the heath-floivers and the young rose
white, . , ,
And the shivering creep of the winds by
night; —
They are swift glad wings
borne you here.
They are free, wild hearts that know
nought of fear, ^ ,
Ye have come, young birds, with a rush
of gleel / .
To the wild-wood shrub and the fringing
tree.
*******
Ye have come, wild birds—ye have
come—ye have come !
We welcome you back to your northern
home!
—Helen A. Brown.
Birds—birds! Ye are beautiful things,
With your earth-treading feet and your-
cloud-cleaving wings;
Where shall man wander, and where
shall he dwell,
Beautiful birds, that you come not as
well ?
—Eliza Cook.
■19: ■ *-*
It is most fitting that poets
should extol their prototypes—the
birds. ~
There is a natural affinity ’twixt
the melodious outbursts of the
aerial songster and the impassion
ed torrent of song which leaps
from the heart of the singer among
men; and from the greatest to the
humblest “weaver of rhyme,” each
one has paid tribute to the inhabi
tants of the nether air, winding the
sweet notes and airy personality
of the birds in and out and round
about the fabric of their songs.
Our own dear Alice Carey thus
sweetly questions:—
“Have the birds come back, my darling,
The birds from over the sea ?
Are they cooing and courting together
In bush and briar and tree ?
The mad little birds, the glad little
birds,
The birds from over the sea.
Oh, and I would I could hear them
sing,
Oh, and I would I could see them
swing,
In the top of our garden tree !
The mad little birds, the glad little
birds,
The birds from over the sea.
“Are they building their nests, my dar
ling,
In the stubble brittle and brown ?
Are they gathering threads and silken
shreds,
And wisps of wool and down,
With their silver throats and their,
speckled coats,
And eyes so bright and brown ?
Oh, and I wish I could see them
make
V- And line their nests for love’s sweet
sake, _
With shreds of wool and down,
With their eyes so bright and brown!”
And thus Felicia Hemans
“Tribes of the air, whose favored race
May wander through the realms of space,
Free guest of earth and sky;
In form, in plumage, and in song, ""
What gifts of nature mark your throng
With bright variety!
Nor differ less your forms, your flight,
Your dwelling hid from hostile sight,
And the bold'haunts ye love;
-Birds of the gentle beak, how dear
Your woodnotes to the wanderer’s ear,
In shadowy vale and grove.”
To the eagle, proud bird of Jove,
and emblem of our own dear land,
Columbia, we award the palm for
bravery, strength and grandeur.
Every boy is familiar with Per-
“Bird of the broad and sweeping wing,
Thy home is high in heaven,
Where the wild storm their banners
fling,
And the tempests clouds are driven.’

Campbell pays the following
tribute to the eagle :—
“ * * * He clove the adverse storm
And cuffed it with his wing; he stopped
his flight
As easily as the Arab reigns his steed,
And stood at pleasure ’neath heaven’s
zenith like
A lamp suspended from its azure dome,
Whilst underneath him the world’s
mountain lay
Like mole-hills, and the streams like
lucid threads;
Then downward, faster than a falling
star,
He neared the earth until his shape dis
tinct
Was blackly shadowed on the sunny
ground;
And deeper terror hushed the wilder
ness,
To hear his nearer whoop. Then up
again
He soared and wheeled. There was an
air of scorn
In all his movements,whether he threw
around
His crested head to look behind him,
Or lay vertical, and sportingly displayed
The inside whiteness of his wings de
clined >
In gyres and undulations full of
An object beautifying heaven itsel
And how beautifully he con
cludes :—
“Here, too, the air’s harmonious; deep-
toned doves
Coo to the flute-like oarol of the lark;
And when they cease, the holy nightin
gale
Winds up his long, I01
With notes that seem but tho p;
sounds
mmm
“The wild-swan’s death-hymn took the
soul
Of that waste place with joy;
Hidden in sorrow at first to the ear
The warble was low and full and clear;
And floating about the under sky,
Prevailing in weakness the coronach
stole
Sometimes afar and sometimes anear;
But anon her awful jubilant voice,
With a music strange and manifold,
As when a mighty people rejoice,
With shawms and with cymbols and
harps of gold
And the tumult of their acclaim is rolled
Through the open gates of the city ajar;
To the shepherd who watches the eve
ning star,
And the creeping mosses and clamberiDg
weeds.
And the willow branches hoar and dank,
And the wavy swell of the soughing
reeds,
And the wave-worn horns of the echoing
bank.
And the silvery marsh-flowers that
throng
The desolate creek and pools among,
Were flooded over with eddying song.”
Milton speaks of
“The swan with arched neck
Between her white wings mant’ling;
proudly rows
Her state with airy feet; yet oft they
quit
The dank, and rising on swift pinions
tower
The ’mid aerial sky.”
To the mourning heart and
faithful, is consecrated the gentle
dove:—
“Dear is my native vale,
The ring-dove builds and warbles there;
Close by my cot she tells her tale
To every passing villager.”
Almost as sad to our ears is the
plaint of the whippoorwill.
“Lone whippoorwill,
There is much sweetness in thy fitful
hymn,
Heard in the drowsy watches of the
night.
Ofttimes, when all the village lights are
out,
And the wide air is still I hear thee
chant,
Thy hollow dirge, like some recluse
who takes
His lodgings in the wilderness of woods,
And lifts his anthem when the world is
still;
And the dim solemn night, that brings
to man
And to the herds deep slumbers and
sweet dews,
To the red roses and the herbs doth
bind
No eye save thine, a watcher in her hall,
I hear thee oft at midnight when the
' thrush
And the green-roving linnet are at rest,
And the blithe twittering swallows have
long ceased
Their noisy notes and folded up their
wings.”
There is a wierdness—a myste
rious solemnity enveloping the
lives-and habits of many birds.
The seabirds bring to us a
thought of the lonely cliffs and a
wide waste of waters. Here is a
thought from Park Benjamin
“Birds of the sea, they rejoice in storms";
O’er the top of the waves you may see
their forms;
They run and dive .and they whirl and
fly,
Where the glittering foam spray breaks
on high f
And against the force of the strongest
gale
Like phantom ships they soar and sail.”
The owl,—creature of darkness
and dank, of impenetrable wood/
and starless sky is thus song by
Berry Cromwell:—
“In the hollow tree, in the old gray
tower,
The spectral owl doth dwell;
Dull, hated, despised in the sunshine
hour,
But at dusk he’s abroad and well,
Not a bird in the forest e’er mates with
him,
All mock him oul right by day;
But at n|ght when i lie woods grow still
and dim,
The boldest will shrink away!
So when the night falls and the dogs
do howl,
Sing ho! for the reign of the horned
owl!
We know not nlway
Who are kings by day,
But the king of the night is the
bold brown ow l! ”
Who has not listened with a
feeling of awe to the resistless
sweep and wild cry of the “Birds
of Passage” by night? And how
appropriate seem Longfellow’s
lines:—
“I hear the,beat of their pinions fleet,
As from the land of snow and sleet
They seek a southern sea;
I hear the cry of their voices high,
Falling dreamily through the sky,
But their forms I cannot see!”
The song of the dying swan is
a theme ever dear to the poet and
its legends fully merit a peon of
praise. The swan’s last song is
supposed to swell with enchanting
sublimity. According to the
fable, a stork-once listened to the
swan’s sweet notes, and thinking
such a song unseasonable, he re-
proved the swan for her triumph
ant-tones when death was so near.
The swan replied that she was
passing out of danger and disap
pointment into an existence of
eternal felicity, and for this reason
she poured forth her soul in such
ecstatic minstrelsy. Tennyson
thus describes her song:—

Bryant thus
water-fowl:—
“Whither midst falling dew
While glow the heavens with the last
. steps of day,
Far through the rosy depths dost thou
pursue
Thy solitary way?
Seekest thou the plashy brink
Of weedy lake or marge of river wide,
Or where the rocky billows rise and
sink
On the chafed ocean’s side?
* * * * * *
Thou’rt gone! the al yss of heaven
Hath swallowed up thy form; yet on
my heart
Deeply has sunk the lesson thou hast
given,
And shall.not soon depart.
He who has gone from zone to zone,
Guides through the boundless sky thy
certain flight
In the long way that I must tread alone
Will lead my steps arightt.” •
