HON. FARISH CARTER TATE. In the near future, during the early summer, the democratic party of the 9th congessional district will nomi nate a candidate to succeed Hon. harish Carter Tate in the next con gress. Mr. Tate is now serving his fifth term, and if reports from Washing ton are to be credited during his past ten years of service, he has grown steadily in worth to the dis trict and country, holds a very high place in the confidence of his col leagues, both democratic and repub lican, and at all times commands respect and attention. Mr. Tate has nothing of the spec tacular about his methods. As is generally known, the work of congress is done in committee rooms, and it is there that legislation is shaped. When Mr. Tate first went to Washinton, he was given com mittee appointments of minor im portance. This is a fate of all new members. Some men haven’t the grace to sub mit to be shelved on some commit tee where there is nothing to be done and where nothing can be done, and as a consequence such reach no position of prominence. Not so with Mr. Tate. As soon as his first committee appointment was an nounced, without pique at not being given something better, he went faithfully to work, grasping at once the idea that a member makes him self felt and grows in influence only as he faithfully and laboriously per forms whatever duties present them selves even on committee of minor importance. Mr. Tate also realized new members do not spring into prominence by virtue of oratorical efforts on the floor of the house, but by proving untiring and astute committee workers. Mr. Tate’s worth was soon recog nized by his colleagues, his influence felt and faithful work was rewarded. During his second term he was placed on the naval affairs com mittee, one the most important of all the major committees, and it has been on this committee that his best work in congress has been done. Mr. Tate is now the ranking dem ocratic member on the committee. For years he has served on the print ing committee, one of no meaA im portance, and, as on the former, he is the ranking democratic member. Besides he holds second place on the democratic side on mines and mining committee. Long and faithful service has re warded Mr. Tate with prominence. But what is all this worth to us? Just this: Should Mr. Tate be returned to congress, and should the next house be democratic, he, being the ranking democratic mem ber of naval affairs committee, would be made its chairman and thus prac tically control legislation in that great branch of government. To have the 9th district represented by a man whose worth and merit have placed him in such a position, can but reflect credit upon the dis trict. With a democratic house, by rea son of Mr. Tate’s high position on the three named committees, he would be of enormous moment to the 9th district. Mr. Tate merits the opportunity to attain this high place in the af fairs of the nation. It would but a fitting reward for his faithful service. It is only thus that he can reap the fruits of his labors.—Toccoa Record. Dislocated Her Shoulder. Mrs. Johanna Soderholm of Fergus Falls, Minn., fell and dislocated her shoulder. She had a surgeon get it back in place as soon as possible, but it was quite sore and pained her very much. Her son mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain’s Pain Balm advertised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy her a bottle of it, which he did. It quickly relieved her and en abled her to sleep which she had not done for several days. The sou was so much pleased with the relief it gave his mother that he has since recommended it to many others. For sale by M. C. Brown, Gainesville. W. T. U?Office.

Winn of Greene coun ty, ex-congressman of this district, was married last Thursday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the home of the bride in Grcenesboro, Ga., to Miss Minnie Linton. The bride-elect is a popular young lady of the his toric old town of Greensboro. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Smith, the bride’s pastor. Mr. Winn is a native of Gwinnett county and his many friends in this section will be pleased to learn of his happy marriage.—News Herald. Saved from Terrible Death. The family of Mrs. M. L. Bobbitt of Bargerton, Tenn., saw her dying and were powerless to save her. The most skillful physicians and every remedy used failed, while consumption was slowly but surely taking her like.

It’s the most certain cure in the world for all throat and lung troubles. Guaranteed. Bottles fifty cents and one dollar. Trial bottles free at M. C. Brown’s and Dr. J. B. George’s drug stores. Tuose Frisky Gainesville Clerks. The boys tell a good one on Tax Collector Walden of this county. It is this: Some time ago Mr. Walden visited Gainesville and step ped into a store while trade was dull and the clerks were all in the room sitting around the stove. ‘ ‘ Walk right back,” said one of them, mean ing for him to come farther down the room. In an instant Mr. Walden wheeled and was out of the door, wondering why they had ordered him out of a store which was sup posed to be open to everybody. Before getting very fai', however, a clerk overtook him and fully ex plained what was meant and he re turned and spent several dollars with them.—Dahlonega Nugget. A Very Close Call. “I stuck to my engine, although every joint ached and every nerve was racked with pain,” writes C. W. Bellamy, a locomotive fireman of Burlington, la. “I was weak and pale, without any appetite and all run down. As I was about to give up, I got a bottle of Elec tric Bitters, and after taking it, I telt as well as I ever did in my life.” Weak, sickly, run down people always gain new life, strength, and vigor from their use. Try them. Satisfaction guaran teed by M. C. Brown and Dr. J. B. George. Price 50c. Gus Now Major. Dr. G. T. Canning, now a staff officer of the U. R.

Longstreet Monument. > “I’ll tell you,” saidaveteran who followed Longstreet through the thickest of the fight on several oc casions during the war, “Gaines ville, his home town, especially honored by reason of his residence here, and the south generally, that cannot realize fully now as we who were with him, did the service he bravely gave to the stars and bars, will be neglectful of their duty and recreant to a rare privilege if a handsome monument is not erected here to the memory of the gallant general. Without disrespect or disparagement to the other gener als, we veterans know that Long street won his fame and right to greatness in the war where every day of the four long years ot con flict his name was on the soldiers’ lips and in the citizens’ conversa tion. Others endeared themselves to the people after the war, but Longstreet was in the immortal trio during the strife.” Aching in the small of the back is an indication of Bright’s Disease. The proper course in such cases is to take a few doses of Prickly Asli Bitters. It is an effective kidney remedy and bowel regulator. Special agent,* Dr. J. B. George. THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE, JANUARY 21,1904. Goy. Smith Buried Here. Comparatively few persons are aware that the dust of one of Georgia’s former governor’s, one in whose terms of office some events of unusual interest trans pired, lies buried in Alta Vista ceme tery, this city, unmarked by more than ordinary marble tribute. That governor was James M. Smith. After Bullock had been made military governor and resigned, Benj. Conley, president of the senate, succeeded him and held office till an election was or dered and Smith sworn in. Smith was elected Dec. 12, 1871, and was inaugura ted in January following. To Gov. Smith ex-Gov. Jenkins, on returning to Georgia, surrendered the great seal of the state, which he had held to “keep it from the hands of a military governor.” Gov. Smith was elected for a four years term as governor in 1872. During his administration the public school laws first became operative; the N. G. A. college at Dahlonega was opened; public credit was restored; the state bonds went to par; and the state was relieved of fraudulent debts. Du ring his term, too, the last woman ever hanged in Georgia was executed. Gov. Smith was born in Twiggs county in 1823; he was a colonel in the Con federate service, 13th Georgia regiment; member of the legislature in 1871 and 1872, and speaker of the house. After being governor from ’72 to ’76 he was a member of the first railroad commission of the state, in 1879. His wife died while in Gainesville for her health, and afterward Col. Smith died in Columbus and was brought here for burial beside his wife’s grave. Croup. The peculiar cough which indicates croup, is usually well known to mothers of croupy children. No time should be lost in the treatment of it. and for this purpose no medicine has received more universal approval than Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Do not waste valuable time in experimenting with untried medicines, no matter how highly they may be recommended, but give this medicine as directed and all symptoms of croup will quickly disappear.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor Sand cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are cut of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty cent and one dollar sizes.
