CEDARTOWN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 12, 1900. TWO VERY PROMINENT PUBLIC MEN NEW PRQVES A GREAT SUCCESS IN GEORGf A. Owe Health and Happiness to Pe-ru-na. imane tn'l'onVicts and l*r« fit■ able for « h« State.' . ITon. J. S. Turner, Gen. Clement A. Evans and Jlon. Tom Eason, our pop ular and efficient State Board of Prison Commissioners,are to be congratulated upon tile successful results of their management for the lirst twelve months of the new system. The year which was asked for the trial of the new convict lease system in the stale came to a close April 1st, and the report of the year shows that the new system has brought into the treasury $200,389.1:1, not including a clear profit of $5,000 on the prison Of this amount Baking Powder The strongest, purest, most efficient and wholesome of leavening agents. Not lowest in price, yet the most economical; indispens able to all who appreciate the best and most healthful food. Our country is enjoying prosperity almost unsurpassed in its history. For every one there is money enough to buy that to eat which is pure, sound, good, wholesome. Why should we use cheap, impure, un healthful articles of food? There is no economy in them; they endanger the health, they may cost life. There are reported almost daily cases of sickness caused by eat ing cake, puddings or biscuit made with the cheap, alum baking powders. In all articles for food buy and use only the best. The good health of the family is of first consideration. farm at Milledgeville. $120,000 was appropriated ro meet tlie expenses of the department, although not all of this appropriation is needed, leaving at the lowest figure a profit to the state of $85,000 in a year as a re sult of its experiment. Under the old lease system by which the state practically sold the convicts, labor and all, to the lessees, the annual profit amounted to $10,000 and seldom exceedeu $12,000. The close of the year for the new system is a matter of gratification to the members of the Prison Commis si i i,who with nun e.m> d s idvantages to face, have tried to make the bi st showing possible. Congressman Howard from Alabama. Washington, Feb. 4th, 1899. Pe-ru-na Drug Jl’f’g Co., Columbus, O.: Gentlemen—I have taken Pe-ru-na now for two weeks, and find I am very much relieved. I feel that my cure will be permanent. I have also taken it for la grippe, and I take pleasuro in recom mending Pe-ru-na as an excellent rem edy to aU fellow sufferers. Very Respectfully, SI. W. Howard. Congressman Howard’s home address is Fort Payne, Ala. Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost om nipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abso lute safeguard known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds, to enre colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its victims. Address Dr. Hartman, Co lumbus, O., for a free catarrh book. • Hon.Wm. Youngblood, Auditor for the Interior. Washington, D. C., Dec. 10,1898. Pe-ru-na Drug MTg Co, Columbus, O.: Gentlemen—I’ve often heard of your great medicine and have persuaded my wife, who has been much of a sufferer from catarrh, to try Pe-ru-na, and after using one bottle she has wonderfully improved. It has proved all you have claimed for it, and I take pleasure in recommending it to anyone who is af flicted with catarrh. Yours, Wm. Youngblood, Auditor for the Interior. Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly becoming a national curse. An un doubted remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Pe-ru-na cures catarrh in all stages and phases. There is no rem edy.that can be substituted. Tbe experiment, is- taken to mean, by all that the lease system has come to stay, not only be cause it has proved a source of greater profit than tbe old system, but because it is more humane toward the convicts. As is well known, the system which went on trial last April took the actual control of tbe convicts out of the hands of the lessees, the state retain ing this control by tbe employment of guards not under the direction of the lessees only in a business way. The men are clothed and fed by the state, and all the lessees have to do is topoint out the work for the convicts to en gage in. ^ ' Our buyers have re turned from New York and Boston, where they spent over three weeks buying some of the biggest Bar gains in Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Millinery, Clothing, Shoes, Etc., we have ever owned.

Our stock for this spring is the finest we have ever carried, but we bought in large lots from first hands, and they are cheaper than you can buy elsewhere. See them. Mr. Wm. B. Lowe, one of Atlanta’s most prominent citizens and well known throughout North Georgia, died last week. If troubled with rheumatism, give Chamberlain’s Pain-Balm a trial.

Washington, April G.—Gen. Wheel er’s attention being called today to a suggestion of himself as a Vice Presi dential candidate, made the following statement; “I do not think that my name has ever been mentioned in that connection except as very many other gentlemen have been referred to, simply in the way of personal compliment. I have ap preciated these flattering allusions to myself, but never regarded them as at all serious or other than the kind ex pressions of partial friends. “The greatest ambition of my life has already been realized. I have seen those who were Confederate soldiers fight under the Stars and Stripes against foreign foes as soldiers of the United States. I have seen the masses of the people of all the Sonthern states eagerly and earnestly offer their ser vices to fight in the conntry’s cause, and have seen them thus become par ticipants in tbe events which have sud denly made ours the leading among the great powers of the world, and opened avenues which enable us to establish the most favorable commercial rela tion's with countries containing nearly one-third the population.

There fore, there is much to coinfort those left behind, though their loss is so great. Deprive us of a mother’s love and we have lost the purest, most lasting earthly affection.

Her devotion in adverse circumstances sheds a sweet halo that resembles the light of Heaven. The children and grand-children of this noble woman are rowing their beats daily on life’s mystic ocean.

The most far-reaehing and effectual effort for the salvation of soula which has been made in Bockmart in many years is the series of revival meetings now being conducted at the Methodist church by Bev. T. B. McCarty and Mr. Dnuaway, of Cedartown, assisted by the pastor and resident ministers. The interest is increasing wonderfully, scores flock to the altar during each service, and annmber have already been saved. Three services are held each day, the morning service at Biedmont Institute and afternoon and evening services at the church. The interest manifested by the students is intensely earnest, and the influence of the meet ings is beginning to take hold not only of the town, but of the surrounding country;—Bockmart Slate. Mr. John W. Crabb was a visitor to Atlanta last week. Mr. Allen Ivie was in your town the first of the week, prospecting with a view of locating a lumber mill near Cedartown. Messrs. Faires and fvey have re cently purchased a lathe mill, and will cut lumber, shingles and laths. They are doing good business in tbe piney woods, but will move their mill nearer Lake Creek in the future. Mr. J. B. Woods has the smiles, but we have not yet found out the cause— whether it.is that spring has’eome, or that he is supplying the wants of-the people so well. The election in our district last week proved a success. It went 20 for the white primary to 1 against. Hur rah for the people of Lake Creek! They want a white primary, a pure election and a fair count. Mrs. T. C. Faires visited her daugh ter, Mrs. J. B. Hogg, at Cedartown, We wish Remarkable Cure of Rheumatism. Kenna, Jackson Co., W. Va.
