MR. EDWARD HARDY, the jony man
ager of Sheppard Co’s, great store at
Braceville, 111., writes: “I had never
been sick a day in my life until in 1890. I
got so bad with nervous prostration that I
had to give up and commence to doctor. I
tried our local physicians and one in Joliet,
but none gave me any relief and I thought
I was going to die. I became despondent
suffered untold agony. I could not eat,
sleep nor rest, and it seemed as if I could
not exist. At the end of six months I was
reduced to but a shadow of myself, and at
last my heart became affected and I was
truly miserable. I took six or eight bottles
of Dr. Miles’ Nervine. It gave me relief
from the start, and at last a cure, the great
est blessing of my life.”

How the South is Hurt.
(From the Atlanta Constitution.)
1 be other day a Confederate monu
ment was dedicated at Clarksville, Tenn.
The shaft is of marble, but it did not
come from the quarries of East Tennes
see, Georgia or Alabama. It came from
far-off Vermont.
, rhe South furnished the heroes and
the marble to commemorate
their barvery. Henry Grady once wrote
up a funeral, and called attention to the
tact that the coffin was made of Maine
pme, the nails of Pittsburg iron, and the
?T as from New England looms—all
that Georgia furnished was the corpse
and the hole in the ground. There is
certainly no need to send north for mar-
South abounds in marble
of the finest quality. The Washington
monument was erected of marble from
the different States, and when Alabama’s
oloCb. arrived the superintendent rejected
it, saying it was Italian marble ; but it
was from the marble quarries of Talla
dega.
It is the same old story. We have a
laige class of people among us who want
the northern trademark on everything.
When manufacturing industries in the
South send their goods to market, many
purchasers drop them like hot potatoes
when they learn that they are home pro
ducts, and straightway hunt up some
thing no better and no cheaper from a
New England or New York factory. This
policy is carried to such an absurd ex
treme that at a time when our Southern
marble is admitted by experts to be equal
if not superior to the northern output,
we find Tennessee depending upon Ver
mont for material used in a Confederate
monument.
It is about time for us to prove to the
outside world that we produce something
besides corpses and holes in the ground
and that our home products are in de
mand among our own people. We talk
about public spirit and patriotism, but
the best and most profitable sentiment
that we could have would be a strong
local pride that would lead our people to
always give the preference to products
when they are equal in quality and price
to the goods offered by outside competi
tors.
There is no sectionalism in this. It is
simply taking care of our own interests.
In a word, it is business.
Now take the matter of engraving
Wedding Invitations, Visiting Cards, fine
Society and Business Stationery etc.
Such work ought not to be sent North as
long as there is a thoroughly equipped
establishment in the South for their pro
duction. J. P. Stevens & Bro., the well
known engravers and jewelers, of Atlanta,
have such a plant. They duplicate
Northern prices and their samples show
that they have skilled artists and do the
highest class of work. They are en
deavoring to establish in the South an
industry that is giving employment to
Southern people and is not only a great
convenience, on account of the greater
promptness with which they can execute
orders, but they are building up a repu
tation that contributes to our fame and
demonstrates that the South can and
does successfully compete with the
North in this line of artistic work.”
J. I*. Stevens & Bro. occupy the entire
building, No. 47 Whitehall St., and have
one of the finest equipped plants in the
United States. Most of automatic ma
chines used are inventions of Mr. J. P.
Stevens, working with such rapidity as
to permit this house to deliver work more
promply than any other house in this
country.
A Rousing Occasion.
Tho Horse-Swappers Association will
meet here Tuesday, Oct. 11th, and hold
a three days session, with the privilege
of remaining in session for a week. This
will be a remarkable gathering in many
respects. At noon on the morning they
assemble there will be a grand parade
through the principal streets of the city,
which will eclipse any circus parade ever
witnessed by our people.
The race track, which is one of the best
in the state, will be put in perfect con
dition and there will be all kinds of
racing each day. These races will be by
typical swapping stock and will be a
modern improvement on Ben Hur's
chariot race which elocutionists go into
extasy over and will cause it to pass out
of the minds and be forever forgotten by
all who witness these races from day to
day. This much good will be done in
these days of Chautauquas while
elocutionists are numerous.
S. C, Dunlap and Judge J. B. Gaston
have tendered the association a 45 acre
field in the corporate limits. A procla
mation has been issued by President
Arnold and not less than 5,000 horse
swappers, from North-Georgia, North
and South Carolina, and Tennessee will
attend.
These 5,000 horse swappers will bring
with them one or more horses, and some
several dozens, and they will not spend
less than two dollars each every day
they are with us. Let them come; we
will extend to them a cordiai welcome.
A Tumble in Goods.
S. C. Dinkins & Co. are busy this week
straightening up.their stock which they
found on Monday morning to be in a
chaotic condition. Some time during
Saturday night the shelving on one side
of their store gave way under the
enormous weight of their shelf goods.
It came down in a crash and practically
filled the first half of the store with
debris. “Dinkins & Co. have busted,”
went the rounds Monday morning and
every one who heard of it was struck
dumb with astonisnment. To make mat
ters worse Sheriff Mundy walked over on
an investigating tour and told those who
questioned him that he was in charge.
Mr. Davidson estimates the weight on
the shelves to have been about 25,000
pounds.
A Citizen Among Us.
Joseph G. Camp and family have
moved to the city from Eatonton and are
now occupying the Ham house on E.
Washington street. Mr. Camp is one of
the foremost orators in the state and will
lecture on “The Daughters of Eve” at
the Auditorium tomorrow night. A
large audience will doubtless greet him
on this occasion. We extend to him and
his family a cordial welcome to the
Queen City.
Noah Stringer.
Noah Stringer, age 29 years, died
Sunday at his home 3 miles from the city.
Mr. Stringer was a member of the Baptist
church and a man who had the respect
of all who knew him.
He was buried Monday at Pleasant Hill
Baptist church, Revs. J. H. Brazeal and
D. S. McCurry conducting the funeral
services. He leaves a wife, two children
and a large number of friends.

Bought Store Room.
C. F. W. Gunther has purchased the '
Newton store room next door below his
store. This is a two-story structure and
was built in connection with Mr.
Gunther’s store, with a central stairway
leading up to private apartments on
either side of the hall which
separates the second stories. The
transfer was made Monday, Mr. Gunther
paying Mr. Newton $3,200 for the
property.
