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.

Cure for Smallpox. ASLEEP IS JE&tS. Miss Laura Cates, second daugh ter of A. B. and Lucia R. Cates, was tx>rn September 28, 1863, and died 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.” A pack of vagrant, dogs made a foray upon Mr. C.

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 void any further trouble and ex pense incident to quarantine, vac cination, fumigation, &c.

It is well known that I cured my self of cancer about thirty-six years I have treated many other cases since then and have never failed to cure, if the case was not of too long standing. By request of many friends, I publish a card, that it may be generally known that I am still prepared to treat cancers. Any one desiring information may call on ot address me at Newnan Matilda Keller. 14- We are in our new quarters on Greenville street. New goods are arriving daily. Come and see us. Ig. Snead’s Shoe Store. 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.” Pant her Creek. ‘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 bereaved family in sympathy and tears. Pastor. Editor Herald:—I wrote you last week about the death of Mr. and Mrs. Edwards’ little girl Berta, but the announcement never appeared. Sweet little Berta breathed her last at 4 o’clock a. m.

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. Mr. Waldrop,who lives near town, was found in a precarious condi tion one day last week, but by prop er treatment has about recovered. Mrs. Giles McColIough has a can cer, or tumor on one side of her ueck, with prospects of recovery de cidedly against her. Our churches, Sunday-schools and literary schools seem to be in a healthy condition, at least all are well patronised. Indications of improvement are visible in various portions of our town, of which we may speak in de tail hereafter. Ou people seem con fident of a brighter business future for Senoia.
