Result of Itrulultl).
Thursday morning the rumor
spread ... through our town that , the
wife of George Brown, colored, the
mail messenger at this pomf, had
died suddenly, and that her death
resulted fiom brutal treatment, As
certaining that she was dead, and had
died suddenly, Coroner Britt sum¬
moned a jury and proceeded with an
inquest over the body. After hearing
what evidence could he had as to any
brutal treatment, and failing to dla
cover any external injury or bruises
ikely to produce death, an autopsy
was had by Drs. Alexander, Ponder
and Edwards, which revealed the
fact that death was produced by in¬
ternal liernorage, resulting from a
rupture of the Ovarian tube.
Coupling this fact with the evi¬
dence of rough treatment at the hands
of her husband, thejury returned the
following verdict : “We the jurrors
upon our oaths, say that the deceased,
Har/ih Brown, came to her death by a
blow given by her husband, George
Brown aid blow causing internal
liernorage which podueed death.”
In thiH connection we take occa¬
sion to say that evidences are con¬
stantly eroping out, of u disposition
upon the part of negro husbands to
domineer over and make brutes of
their wives. Hueh practice, if per¬
mitted to be indulged, tends to sava
grism and to the cultivation of a
brutalizing spirit. The better class
of negroes should strive, to educate
tlieir race to a higher plane of life.
Judging from the great number of
complaints that come to us In our offi¬
cial capacity from negro wives, we
can hut conclude that many negro
husbands have never realized that
their wives are their liclpmeats, and
not their slaves and entitled to equal
rightH in the family circle. Any hus¬
band, be he white or negro, who in
any way maltreats and abuses his
wife, is incapacitated to appreciate
woman, much less a wife, and is un¬
deserving t he name of husband. And
it these domineering husbands can
not otherwise he educated to refrain
from brutal treatment to their wives,
then the legal remedy should be such
as would subject them to, and cause
them to feel, the pangs of the lash to
which they are so ready to subject
their wives.

memorial Orator,
Having been chosen by the Memo¬
rial Association, Mr. Geo. T. Banks
has consented to deliver the Memo¬
rial Address on the 26th of April.
Having been reared in Forsyth and a
member of the local bar, Mr. Banks
is well known to our people.
We congratulate the Memorial As¬
sociation on their selection of an
orator who will doubtless give them
an address befitting the occasion. Mr.
Banks is a good speaker, and we feel
safe in promising the public that they
will he well entertained by his address
on memorial day.
In this connection we take occasion
to call the attention of the people not
only of Forsyth, but of the county
generally to one thing that has been
for twenty years, and is still, neglect¬
ed by them. And unless the initiative
is taken, and the matter pressed, the
same neglect Will continue to obtain
for years to come. We refer to the
absence of granite or marble head¬
stones at the nead of each grave in
our Confederate cemetery. This is a
very conspicuous absence when we
remember that those who lie buried
there, were our companions in arms—
, that they died defending their coun¬
try—that they are dead Confederate
soldiers. The cause for which they
died—the memories of the hardships
they endured and of their gallant
deeds as soldiers on various battle¬
fields, demands that their graves
should have at least an enduring
headstoue. Who, but us who are
living, are to place there these en¬
during marks ? The respect due these
dead heroes of a lost cause urges us
to pay this simple tribute to their
memory. Noxv comes the question
shall we, will we do it? Are
there not enough living ex-Confeder
ates and fathers and brothers of dead
Confederates in Monroe county to
accomplish this simple, but obligatory
duty? We believe that there are and
that they will, if properly approached
on the subject. A small amount of
monov contributed bv each OoZdera one who
wrtah.1,- Y rospeets* T 1 Y the v onieueiaie e
( . cad, will ... place a lasting . head stone
at the head ot each t on federate grave
in out cemetery, and at the head of
each one now unmarked in the county,
3nbehalfof the Memorial Association,
whose pleasure it is to care for the
gra s of our Confederate dead, we
bespeak the aid and co-operation of all
of our Mouroe county people in this
matter.

Tlit; Equinox.
About 12 o’clock on Tuesday night
last, we had the first thunder storm
of the season. Flash after flash of
lightening following each other in
quick succession, accompanied with
rumbling thunder, put those who
were awake on the qui-vive. Soon
the rain was falling in torrents,
driven by a furious wind. The
howling roar without, coming on the
wings of a wind so furious was calcu¬
lated to give one cyclonic apprehen¬
sions. Rut when the cloud had
passed over, the wind had departed
and we found general surroundings
in statu quo, we concluded that the
storm was but the voice of the vernal
equinox proclaiming its presence.

Deafness Can’t be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
roach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
Deafness, and that is by constitution¬
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucus
lining of the Eustaehain Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed, you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and
this tube restored to its normal con¬
dition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine eases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol¬
lars for any case of Deafness (caused
by Catarrh) that we cannot cure by
taking Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send

predicament. We have not had a
mail from New York since Sunday,
nor a telegram until Tuesday, which
had to come by way of Chicago. To
give you an idea of how it is further
north, our first news from Boston was
received this morning in a cablegram
via London. Every day w e are look¬
ing for the car loads of mail matter
blocked on the roads, but up to to¬
night nothing had been received.
But I hope your readers will not
take this as a fair specimen of Wash¬

think our winter so far has been very
mild. Yesterday and to-day have
beeu as beautiful and balmy as a
spring day in Georgia, with just
enough of the March breeze thrown
in to make it pleasant. The snow has
nearly all melted away, and the indi¬

the future.

record needs no defense, it is a very
low stoop in one w ho holds the digni¬
fied position of Presiding Officer of
the senate to assail dead men, and
especially those whose courage and
patriotism cannot be questioned. Mr.
Ingalls thought he would have fine
food for a campaign document in
this speech of his, but he has hurt
himself worse than any one else. Al¬
ready there is an open letter out this
morning from Col. Finley Anderson,
of Gen’l. Hancock’s staff, denouncing
the speech and telling Ingalls that
“the least thing that can now be done
in reparation of this cruel wrong is to
rise again in the Senate Chamber, and
make a full retraction and apology.”
And Ingalls is not alone in finding
himself in a hole. The whole party
of which he is a conspicuous repre¬
sentative, is in the same fix.
But more on another question ; that
is the tariff question. They cannot

But they, as well as the democrats, are
considerably, and the indica¬
tions are that enough of the more
conservative members of the party
will vote with the democrats to make
up for any loss of recalcitrants of the
latter party. Randall’s following is
not exactly known, but the general
talk here seems very hopeful for the
reformers.
The republicans have not introduc¬
ed any bill on either the tariff or in¬
ternal revenue, but seem rather to
await the action of the democracts.
It is a question whether they will
present a hill of their own or
support Randall’s bill, which is very
much in accord with their own views,
as far as they have any, and which
has been already referred to the ways
and means committee. There is no
doubt that they will do all they can
to keep down Mills’ bill, which will be
brought up next week.

A GOOD WOMAN SN ATCHEC JMO.tl
THE CRAVE.
Rear tic ’Testimony.
‘T have been a great sufferer for
many years, and had given up of being
restored to health again, and exnectea
to die at any time. Pemberton’s Wine
of Coca was recommended to me after
all other remedies had failed, and I
only can truthfully kept say that it has not
me alive but strengthened
and raised me up so that I again en¬
joy the blessings of health. I suffer¬
ed with great nerve exhaustion, an
organic heart disease, with cold sink¬
ing spells, with little power of reac¬
tion, and Pemerton’s Wine of Coea
is the only article that would bring
on a quick reaction.”
Du. I. H. Cheney, Bremen Ga.:
“I have been in bad health for ten
years, and have used all the best
known remedies, but my health con¬
tinued to grow from bad worse. In¬
somnia, Melancolia, Hypochondria¬
sis, and all the other foul fiends,
haunted my mind and body. I had
about given up and lost all hope, when
my attention was called to your
French Wine Coea. I tried it well—
its effects were wonderful; my mind
assumed its normal functions, and to¬
day my brain force is as strong and
capable the of taxation as when I was in
vigor of youth.”
Dr. 8. A. McCosnr: “I reccom
mended your French Wine Coca to a
friend who had contracted intemper¬
ate free habits, from and be is now entirely
the thirst and habit of
drinking, and many other such cases
are known to the writer. The tem¬
perance people have no better factor
to fight the evil of intemperance with
than Pemberton’s Wine of Coca.”
T. J. Simmons, Judge Supreme
Court State of Georgia: “1 have
used your French Wine Coca, and
unhesitatingly tonic endorse it as the finest
nerve with which I am no
quainted. For an overworked brain
or body and general debility it has no
equal. One or two doses will cure
any case of nervous headache. Any
one lessness suffering with insomnia or rest¬
lief at night Mill find perfect re¬
in your Wine Coca.”
Dr. J. C. LeHardy, Savannah,
Ga.: “I have tried Pemberton’s
French Wine of Coca Tonic in a num¬
ber of cases of chronic dispepsia,
the assimilation of food was very de¬
fective and there was steady loss of
weight. The results obtained in two
weeks were indeed flattering. One
patient gained five pounds, and so
on.”
Dit. C. A. Styles, Atlanta, Ga.: “I
have used your French Wine Coca
with marked success in suprasensi
ti veness of the mental faculties aris¬
ing from excessive intellectual strain ;
also in nervous headache and rest¬
lessness and insomnia of the so-called
typlio-malarial fever.”
Select Tariff Reformers.
A Jasper county correspondent ot
the Macon Telegraph, after warn¬
ing tho people of the Atlanta Con¬
stitution’s proclivity to “straddle is¬
sues” and its present attempt to
ride with both “the policy of tho
administration, and the policy of
Samuel J. Randall, their ideal states¬
man” gives good advice when it
says:
We are just on the eve of select¬
ing delegates to the State conven¬
tion, which convention will name
the delegates to tho St. Louis con¬
vention, and the Atlanta Constitu¬
tion is on a still hunt to capture tho
delegation tion. to the national conven¬
Now, sir, it behooves tho peo¬
ple of Georgia to select only such

of the is overwhelmingly in favor
policy of the administration,
and let each county see that they
are represented in the State con¬
vention and not misrepresented.
The Atlauta Constitution, “Joab”
like, will be on the alert to strike
down the policy of the administra¬
tion through the manipulation of
tho delegates to the National Con¬
vention. The Constitution is alivo
to the fact that a very large majori¬
ty of the people of Georgia are in
full sympathy with tho policy of
the administration and that an open
and manly fight against tho policy
of the administration in the State
Convention would not give them
the delegation, hut in this fight they
would ho ignominiously defeated
and the lines would then be sharply
drawn in the convention, and every
delegate in the National Convention
from Georgia would be a strong
tariff reformer, hence this still hunt
of the Constitution for the delega¬
tion by its pretended friendship for
Mr. Cleveland and his policy. Let
us strike this manipulator of Geor¬
gia politics down in our county con¬
vention. If the county conventions
will do their duty and appoint only
tariff reformers the Atlanta Consti¬
tution will be largely in the minori¬
ty in our State convention, and in a
still smaller minority in tho St.
Louis convention.

Death of Chiei Justice Waite.
Chief Justice Waite of tho United
States Supreme court, died at his
residence in Washington City Fri¬
day morning. His death was some¬
what sudden. He had been com¬
plaining only three or four days
and was in attendance upon tbe
Supreme court Monday. He took
his seat as presiding officer of that
tribunal in January 1874 and for
fourteen years has proven lylmself
equal to the task imposed upon him.
The highest encomiums are pro¬
nounced upon him by those who
knew him best. Of him it is de¬
clared, by those conversant with
his legal ability, attainments and
qualifications, that it will be diffi¬
cult to completely fill his place, and
that bar death is a national loss.
