What Shall We Do.
A serions and dangerous disease pre
vails in this country, dangerous be
cause so deceptive. Tt comes on slow
ly yet surely that it is often firmly
seated before we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may
be divided into three distinet stages is,
First, kidney trouble, indieated by
pain in the back, rheumatism, lumba
go, frequent desire to urinate, often
with a burning sensation, the flow of
urine being copious or seant with
strong odor. 4
If allowed to advance, this reaches
the Second stage, or bladder trouble,
with heavy pain in the abdomen low
down betwreen the navel and the water
passage, increasing desire to t-inate,
with scalding sensation in passing,
small quantities being passed with dif
ficulty., sometimes necessary to draw
it with instruments. If uric acid or
gravel has formed, it will prove dan
gerous if neglected.
The Third stage is Bright’s disease,
There is comfort in knowing that
L'r. Kilmer, the great kidney and blad
der specialist, has discovered a remedy
faimous for its marvelous cures or the
most distressing cases and: known as
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root.
1t is sold by all druggists. ‘
As a proof of the wonderful virtues of
this great discovery, Swamp-Root, a
sample bottle and book of valuable in
formation will be sent absolutely free

““On the railroad between Chat
tahoochee river and Austell dur
ing the past eighteen years, forty
one persons have been killed, four
teen in one wreck. This might
‘ properly be ealled a bloody road.”
The above from your last issue
reminds us that it is wonderful
that there are not more wreeks
and more deaths on this seven
’miles of road than there are. The
old Georgia Pacific and East Ten
‘nessee (now Southern) coming to
gether here, both doing a large
freight and passcnger business.
There is hardly an hour in the
day That there are not two or
three trains here. The register
here often shows 85 trains from 7
a.m. to 7p.m., and about the
same number pass during the
night, except the locals, which re
duces the number by four, All of
these trains pass over a single
track from here to Peyton, several
miles beyond the Chattahoochee
river. The track along Nickajack
creek is*n beautiful but dangerous
place, the road being on sharp
curves and the creek often rising
nearly to the rails. This is run
under the block system, no two
trains being allowed between sta
tions at the same time. A train
must pass Mableton hefore the
one following leaves here. The
mentioned above was caused by
an_ operator allowing a train to
pass Mableton while another was
taking water at a tank which then
stood near the seventeen mile
post. This tank was abandoned
and a new one put up here. The
Southern believes in moving
things; their trains back out to
Peters Street slowly, then run
slowly to North avenue, taking 10
or 15 minutes, and including this
makes the run out here in 45 min
utes. The run from here to Simp
son street has several times heen
made in 20 minutes, without‘
stops. :
Marshal Brewer is generally in
the right place. Last Friday
night a Southern freight came in
and he walked down beside the
train. He soon discovered a ne
gro carrying off armfuls of coal.
He arrvested the negro and after
wards found that nearly a car
load of coal had been thrown off
the train between the trestle and
town. At the trestle the train
either broke loose or was cut
loose—probably the latter. While
it was being recoupled the parties
got on and threw off the coal.
The qnantity shows that there
must have been quite a number of
them and other arrests will prob
ably follow. Mr. Brewer and de
tective Connally of the Southern
are working on the case. The
road has long been annoyed by
coal thieves at this place. On the
same night Mr. Brewer arrested a
jewelry thief from Atlanta., "He
was carried back there on the first
train, SIFTER,
MOON.
Mrs. J B McCown is improving

Mrs. Mattie F. Baggett and son,
Oscar, of Douglasville, spent last
Friday with relatives here.
Oliver Elliott, who has been
spending some time in Arkansas,
is expected home next Sunday.

POWDER SPRINGS.
We are just now thawing . out
since the terrible blizzard, and
with the bright sunny days come
renewed hope and energy to us all.
Last Sunday was the silver lining
to the dark cloud that had just
overshadowed the horizon of our
dear “‘Sunny South.”
We have been feasting on pre
serves, pickles, jams, ete., which
we would not have had for some
time to come, but for the icy fin
ger of “‘JacksFrost,” who so kind
ly cracked the jars for us. See!
“Every bitter has its sweet.”’
The youngsters all enjoyed the
sleighing, despite the cold. The
joihest party out, was Mr. Esea
Lindley, Miss Emma Florence,
Blanche Smith and Ethel Hard
age, who went three miles out in
the country to surprise Miss Otis
Hewett. With Eca’s - spirited
span of grays and the merry
sleighbells jingling, they thought
nothing of the eold.
There are several cases of seéri
ous sickness in town, viz: Our
genial Mayor, W. W, Scott, and
Mr. Dock Moon, also postmaster
James W. Smith has been con
fined to his bed for a week with
with la grippe. He has suffered
intensely and is not convalescing
as yet. They all have our sym
pathy, and we hope they will soon
be well.
Let me congratulate our worthy
editors on the popularity of their
valuable paper. While acting as
Postmaster the past week, 1 dis
covered more impatience exhibit

rietta JourNarL than any other
weekly paper.
I suggest the place for holding

Mr. and Mrs. B H Ruff, of At

folks in Concord. ‘‘Bert’” is a
progressive railroad man. He is
with the “Southern,” and has
risen through every grade from
yard clerk to assistant cashier in

'His education was merely *‘picked

graph operator and typewriter, a
good book-keeper and accountant,

We beg to correct a statement
made some time ago in regard to
Sam Wooten’s neighbor’s mule.
We overstated the mule’s size and
understated his age. The owner
of the mule says that the animal
will not weigh the four hundred
pounds we accredited to him, that
he was ‘‘ossa et pellis, preter ni
hil,”” (skin and bone—nothing
more) and would turn the scale
at 250 pounds perhaps, and in
stead of their ages being equal the
mule was ten years his senior.
The gentleman is a truck grower,
and is known among his neighbors
as ‘“‘Jaybird John.” His beans
and collards last year were a won
der to those who never saw them ;
the comradeship existing between
“Jaybird” and ‘“Ellick’’ is beauti
ful to contemplate. Frank King
says ‘‘Jaybird” carries a shonlder
pad in his truck wagon and when
he gets to Casey hill he calls halt
for a brief rest, then adjusts the
pad twixt his shoulder and the
wagon body and soothingly says,
“*Now, Ellick, old boy, rise with
im,”” and “Ellick’’—in act—says,
“All right John,” and forges
ahead. Kox.

apple crop not injured as yet.

Miss Fannie, daughter of D. A.
Green, while standing ,near the

caught on fire. Her presence of
mind saved her from a fearful
death. She extinguished the

in anoth2r room knew nothing of
the accident, until all was over,
She received no burns except on
the hands. . g
