Ikcy is one of the unfortunates. A few years ago, he was injured mhile working in a mill; now h« is a cripple, living in a little house sixteen by twenty, on a back lot, and is of very little importance ex cept ou election days. He doe* odd jobs around town, cleans the yards, rakes the gardens, and such other work as he can in his crippled con dition. In his little shack of a house, he has a wife and baby dependent upon his meagre earnings, but lie loves them, and his home is his castle, and his wife and baby his sole earthly treasures. A week or so ago I key was taken sick, suffering from an abscess, and from day to day he grew worse until last Monday night he was suffering the most excruciating pain, and was sadly in need of medical atten tion. By his little straw mattress sat the sad-faced wife, from whose bosom hope had fled, but love still lingered. An attempt was made to get a physician, but there was no money, and an attempt was made to get the city physician, but it was found that Ikey lived about a hun dred yards outside the city limits. Nothing doing. Then the tear stained eyes of the wife turned to the county physician, and one of the County Commissioners was called over the telephone, and the Commissioner said that there was no county physician for general purposes. ‘“Now, says the County Commissioner, if he were a convict or an idiot, was crazy, or dead, the County could look after him.” But no —Ikey was not crazy, he was not a convict, indeed no; his life has been harmless, he injures no body, violates no law, therefore the big county with its $50,000 court house, its County Commissioners, its tax assessors and county officers, can afford no relief to the sick and suffering Ikey, because he is not a criminal. Then, again, if he were an heathen in China, or a negro heathen in Africa, the Church, with its mis sionary funds, would furnish medi cal aid, and care for him; but Ikey is not a heathen—he is just “Ikey,” doing odd jobs around town, and when sickness comes to him in his poverty lie must be denied medical aid because he is not a heathen or criminal. Alas, what doesit profit the suffer ing poor to live almost within the shadow of the Temple of Justice, and the Church Towers? ISHMAEL. Celebration at Wahoo. Tiie Eagle is requested to announce that there will be a Sunday School celebration at Wahoo church next Sunday, and that the public is cor dially invited to ■ attend.

Os late the goose had attacked every one who came in the yard, and had injured some children. Hennigan found inside the goose a small watch charm, which he brought from Ireland forty years ago, and which he lost more than twenty years ago. Hennigan sus pected a farm hand of stealing the charm and discharged him. How’s This? We oiler One Hundred Dollars Reward forany case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. F. .1.

This delivery will be an experimental one at first, but is sure to be permanent, as the postoffice authorities have for many years been trying to secure this measure.

Holbrook carried water from the creek and pour ed it upon the burning trestle, and the sight of the girl with a sun bon net in one hand, waving a red sack in the other, brought the train to a stand still. The passengers made up a purse of $5 for the child. LaGrange.—According to several of Troup county’s good farmers and a number of business men of LaGrange prospects are good for one of the best crops this section has known in years.

Owing to the fact that com was planted later this year than usual, the unusual heat has not materially damaged it as yet, and cotton is in splendid condition.
