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. m\T ~ / '//M 'SS Hon. D. Meekison. •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.

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.’ s; need not lose flesh in summer $ you use the proper means f $ to prevent it You think £ 5 you can’t take SCOTT’S « | EMULSION in hot weather, J | blit you can take it and di- | 9 gest it as well in summer as £ | in winter.

A SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, New York. % 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.

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.” • STATIONS.
