This History is upon an entirely
novel and original plan, which
makes it indispensable to every
person, no matter how many other
histories he may have
It is arranged chronologically by
years, from 1192 to 1885.' Every
event is narrated in the order of its
date. These are not confined, as in
other works, to political matters,
but embrace every branch of human
action. It describes under its proper
date all important patents; all dis
coveries in science and tho useful
arts; the digging of canals and the
building of railroads and telegraph
lines; the founding of towns and the
erection oi notable buildings and
bridges; the first performances of
plays and tho first appearances of
actors and singers; fires, floods,
hailstorms, tornadoes, cyclones,
polemics, accidents and disasters
on sea and land; riots and crimes;
panics and business failures; ‘‘cor
ners” and phenomenal prices in all
markets, labor troubles, strikes and
lockouts, and hundreds of other
matters never mentioned by histori
ans, which uro of the greatest im
portance to all who wish to under
stand the progress of their country.
Besides being a history in the ordi
nary sense, it is a condensed news
paper tile for four hundred years.

Mince the last issue of the Her
ald, the Editor has been
sorely bereaved by the loss of his
youngest daughter, Miss Laura,
whose death occarred last Friday
morning at 11:30 o’clock after a
lingering illness.
For four weeks the fair young
sufferer withstood the inroads of
disease and though all the medical
skill and the most loving care could
suggest was done for her relief, it
proved of no avail. The funeral
services took place Sunday morn
ing at the Baptist church, a
large concourse of sorrowing and
sympathizing friends attending.
The funeral discourse was deliver
ed by Dr. Hall, based upon the
text—“lam the resurrection and
life; he that believeth in me though
he were dead,yet shall he live.” It
was one of the most impressive
obituary sermons ever listened to
in our community, and during its
delivery there was scarcely a dry
eye in the congregation,—testify
ing at once to the grievious affliction
of this death and to the forcible
manner in which the lesson was pre
sented.
The casket containing the re
mains was almost buried beneath
the wealth of flowers, placed there
by loving hands, anxious to pay
this last tribute to one so dear when
in iife-
The deceased was in her 19th
year and was endowed with such
qualities of mind and heart as en
deared her to all with whom she
catue iu contact. Those who knew
her best loved her most, and to
them it seems peculiarly sad that
he should he allowed to linger for
a moment on the threshold ot wo-
marihood only to be stricken down
in sorrow and death. It is to be
hoped that the same inscrutable
Providence that has seen fit to in
flict this loss will furnish all need
ful strength where it tails heaviest.

Miss Laura Cates, second daugh
ter of A. B. and Lucia R. Cates, was

of fever March 4, 1887, after an ill
ness of thirty days.
‘Rock me to sleep, Mother, rock me to
sleep ”—
This is the cry of a world-wea
ried spirit in its longings for rest, for
“surcease of sorrow.”
Asleep in Jesus, oh how sweet!”—
This is the calm vesper thought
of a child of hope, retiring to rest
“where Jesus lay,” till the breaking
of the Mom of Glory. In a spirit, pre-
cedingher unconsciousness, trusting
ly serene, sweetly submissive and
hopefully upborne, Laura approach
ed death, and when it came, with
out a struggle she went to sleep.
How sad to die so early—to die
in life’s dawn, amidst the dews
and flo.wers and songs of morning!
To die iu life’s spring amidst the
promise and brightness and affluence
of hope! But it is Nature that says
this. Nature stands over the ear
ly dead and says: Cruel Death, what
high dreams thou has left unborn!
What life-fruitage thou hast nipped
in the blossom!
But Faith says over the dead:
It is not Death, but “h ; s brother
Sleep;” and nothing is lost—nothing
cut off; it is only an early entrance
on “undying life.” “God is the
God of the dead, but of the living.”
Divine lips have said: “The maid
is not dead, but sleepeth.” Yes, the
dear daughter is “asleep in Jesus.”

The small-pox scare is gradually
subsiding and the evidences of busi
ness demoralization apparent a few
days ago have almost disappeared.,
A more cheerful feeling pervades
the community and indications of
returning confidence are most grat-
ifyingly apparent. The patients
continue to improve and are now
pronounced by the attending phy
sician to be out of danger. Mrs.
Williams, whose condition has been
critical for several days past, was
much better yesterday and there is
every indication now that she will
recover. Mr. J. S. Williams, the
husband and father, has been a con
stant attendant upon his family dur
ing their affliction, but has so far
escaped the contagion. It is not un
likely that he will eventully contract
the disease, but the vigorous quar
antine regulations adopted when
the disease first appeared will not he
relaxed in the least. The premises
will be kept under strict surveil-
ance until the last vestige of the
contagion diappears.
It was reported yesterday that
the negro woman who attended the
family during the first two days of
their illness had manifested symp
toms of the disease, hut upon in
vestigation this rumor proved to be
false. Dr. Long has thoroughly di
agnosed her case and says that,
while she is slightly ill, her symp
toms are not such as usually precede
small-pox. She is domiciled, how
ever, near the farthest limits of the
ciiyandher isolated location pre
cludes the probability of communi
cating the disease to others, in the
• •vent, of its proving to be small-pox.
Taking all in all, we are doing very
veil, and our sister towns may now

pense incident to quarantine, vac
cination, fumigation, &c.

Many of our older citizens re
member “Buck” Kilgore, who went
from Newnan to Texas in his youth.
He is now a distinguished man and
a member of Congress. As it will
be interesting reading lor many in
this county, we clip the following
from his home paper, published in
Van Zandt county:
“Not long since the Herald, in
common with the several journals
in this Congressional district, pub
lished a lengthy biographical
sketch of the Hon. O. B. Kilgore,
Democratic nominee for Congress.
Although generally known through
out the district, the presentation of
a faithful representation of the man
is one of the features of this special
issue. “Buck” iilgore, as his old
friends call him, is a perfect exem-
plfication of the “hail fellow well
met,” and much of his popularity
is due to his many splendid so
cial qualities. In appearance he
is grand—a stalwart in stature,
straight as Tecumseh, graceful
as a Chesterfield. As a lawyer
he stands at the head of the
profession in Texas; as a politi
cian he is a Democrat in whom there
is no guile. In debate he is quick,
bright, pointed and polite; as
speaker he is logical, able and elo
quent. He has occupied many po
sitions of public trust and honor,
having been a State Senator when
nominated for Congress by the
memorable Longview convention.”
The deceased was dangerously ill
about a year previous to her death.
She then professed no hope. The
thought of her dying without hope
was insufferable. Earnest, agoniz
ing prayer was made for her recov
ery, that, she might be prepared to
die. God in His great mercy and
goodness raised her up. She re
sumed her place iu the sanctuary,
at Sunday-school and worship. Soon
a decided change was apparent in
her. The services that were once in
sipid and irksome,became sweet and
delightful. She would return from
the house of God and tell how she
enjoyed the Word of Life. Her
eyes had been opened and her
heart touched by breath Divine.
She could discern spiritual things
and feast on them. It was God
feeding with His Truth the soul of
his ransomed child. And how she
delighted in the “songs of Zion!”
As they would sing “Sweet By-and-
tiy,” she could with difficulty sup
press her exultant emotions. Was
not the effect of this special song a
blessed “shadow cast before;” a
prophecy other early entrance upon
the “Sweet By-and-by ?”
In her recent illness she seemed
to feel that her hour had come, but
spoke calmly of it. She said tc her
parents that she was sorry to die
now, because she “had promised
to do so much for the Lord.”
It had been her purpose for
several months to make a
public profession of Christ and
unite with His people, since she
had determined to live for His glo
ry. This she would have done
when the winter had passed away.
Her only regret in view of death
was that these duties and privileges
must go undone. She had formed
the high purpose of spending her
life for the Savior. He had done so
much for her that she would devote
her future life to Him. But as
death approached, she was sub
missive, feeling that her salvation
was secured in Christ, and that
her service here on the earthly
field, or yonder in the Upper Tem
ple, must be left with Him.
She was uuconscious for two
weeks before her death, and hence
left no words as she came in sight
of and passed over to the “Better
Land.” The stricken household
will now sing as they nave not
sung before:
Our correspondent “M. R.”, at
Powellville, sends us the following
remedy for smallpox, which was
found in a scrap-book. It is given
for what it is worth, and is as fol
lows:
Below will be found mention of
an internal remedy for smallpox,
which is of marked efficiency, and a
knowledge of which deserves the
widest circulation among the people-
It is simple and innoxious, and a
thousand times safer thin an appeal
to the pernicious practice of blood-
poisoning,yclepi“vaccination.” We
are glad to see that the Sunday
Herald, of Boston, in a recent issue,
gave this valuable recipe the bene
fit of its extended circulation. By
so doing it has wrought a good deed
for humanity, and we wish all the
daily and weekly papers in the land
would follow its example.
As direet evidence that what we
say of this remedy is not based on
“hearsay,” or on otherwise indefi
nite grounds, we cite the experience
of Dr. M. H. Garland, now of
Montgomery Place, Boston, but late
of SanFrancisco, Cal. This gentle
man states that he positively knows
from his personal professional prac
tice, that this internal remedy for
smallpox will accomplish all that is
claimed for it; that if the disease is
taken in hand at once, and this
medicine administered according
to direction—the patients all the
while to he kept in a gentle perspi
ration—the worst cases of the
malady will certainly be conquered
in four days time. Such was his ex
perience with the remedy in the
course of his practice in San Fran
cisco some years ago; and so highly
did he prize it that- he called the at
tention of newspaper men there
about to its merits, and succeeded
in having it published in several
journals. Dr. Garland also knows
of another physician in that city
who has used the same remedy in
practice with highly satisfactory re
sults.
A Paris physician says: “I here
with append a recipe that has been
used to my knowledge in hundreds
of cases. It will prevent or cure
small pox, thoughpittings are fill
ing. Wneu Jenner discovered
cow pox in England, the world of
science buried an avalanche of
fame upon his head, but when the
most scientific school of medicine
in the world—that of Paris—pub
lished this recipe as a panacea ior
small pox it passed unheeded. It is
as unfailing as fate, and conquers in
every instance. It will also cure
scarlet fever. Here is the recipe as
I have used it, and cured my chil
dren of scarlet fever; here it is as
I have used it to cure the small pox;
when learned physicians said the
patient must die, it cured.
Sulphate of zinc, one grain; fox
glove (digitalis), one grain; half a
teaspoonful of sngar; mix with two
table spoonfuls of water. When
thoroughly mixed add four ounces
ol water. Take a spoonful every
hour. Either disease will disap
pear iu twelve hours. Fora child,
small doses, according to age. If
counties would compel their physi
cians to use this, there would be no
need of pest-houses. If you value
advice and experience, use this for
that terrible disease.”

‘How wisely God our cup has tilled
With mingled jov and grief,
To leach our hearts that earthly things,
Though bright, are only brief.”
A sore loss has been sustained by
the household. Bright and intellec
tual, she was a daughter of high
promise; cheerful and sunny-na-
tured, she was the life and light of
the home. So much promise and
so much joy queuehed in death!
Many warm hearts stand by the

Owing to the favorable weather,
farmers are very busy preparing
their landsfoiyilanting;consequent
ly there is something of a business
lull in our town. The leading busi
ness for the present is the guano
trade, which is some two hundred
tons in excess of receipts same time
last season, though lam inclined to
believe there is a larger stock now
on hand.
Cotton shipments for the season
will be somewhat m excess ot ship
ments last season, there being some
five hundred bales now in store.
The sympathies ot our people are
extended to Newnan in her present
affliction, hoping her precautionary
measures will be rigidly adhered to
and any further spread of the dis
ease prevented. Enforced whole
some precautionary measures and
good nursing are among the best
means to stop it. I have had some
experience with like trouble and
know whereof I speak.

tion one day last week, but by prop

visible in various portions of our
