CEDARTOWN STANDARD.
DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF CEDARTOWN AND POLK COUNTY.
VOLUME 14.
CEDARTOWN. GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 10,1901.
NUMBER 00.
CONGRESSMAN OGDEN SAYS
“For those
who need a
good catarrh
- medicine /
$ know of noth
ing better
than Peruna."
AN INTERESTING LETTER.
Dr. Win. Bradford Writes r
tngly Characteristic) In
lion. H. W. Ogden, Congressman from
Louisiana, was elected to the 63d, 64th
and 56th Congress. In a lotter written
at Washington, D. C., he says the fol
lowing of Peruna, the national catarrh
remedy:
“I can conscientiously recommend
your Peruna as a fine tonic and all round
good medicine to thoso who are in need
of a catarrh remedy. It has boon com
mended to me by people who have used
It, as a remedy particularly offectivo in
the cure of catarrh. For thoso who need
a good catarrh medicine I know of noth-
• - 4ng better.”
Mr. Virgil llowlee, Fulton, Oswogo,
county, N. Y., writes: “ I am an old sol
dier, and have doctored with five differ
ent doctors for stomach troublo for three
years. I could get no help. I took your
Peruna and now feel liko a new man. I
can recommend it to anyone suffering
with catarrh of tho stomach. A great
many pooplo want to know what I took
that helped me so much. I toll them it
was Peruna. One year ago I could
hardly do anything and only weighed
100 pounds. Now I weigh 140 and can
not say too much for your medicine, as
it has done mo so much good.”
So many people think catarrh affects
the head only. This is a great mistake,
The stomach is liable to catarrh. The
kidneys are also very liable to catarrh,
producing all the symptoms of kidney
disease. Most cases of weak back are
due to catarrh of the kidneys. Catarrh
of the bladder is a common disease, and
is rapidly becoming more and more
common. It producos the host of dis
tressing symptoms which follow bladder
disease. In short, all urinary and pelvic
organs are subject to catarrh, and ca
tarrh is more frequently tho cause ol
disoaso of thoso organs than all other
causes combined.
Mr. J. Edward Williams,of Lebanon,
O., Box 438, was cured of systemio ca
tarrh by Peruna. Systemio catarrh is
that condition in which catarrh has per
meated tho whole system. Mr. Williams
says: 44 1 took Peruna for acute catarrh
of tho entire membranous process.
"/ suffered every conceivable evil
that can accompany chronic catarrh
In Its most aggravated form, l
coughed Incessantly. My stomach
refused to do Its duty at all. The In
testines became Inflamed, the kidneys
were paralysed, the bladder lost Its
tonicity, I began with Peruna, and
realised a steady Improvement from
the first until I was entirely cured. ”
Dr. Hartman, thediscovorer of Peruna,
has written a book on the different
phases and stages of catarrh. This bock
contains tho doctor’s opinion as to tb€
treatment of catarrh from an experience
of over forty years. Address The Peru-
Medicine Co., Columbus, O., for a free
copy of this book.

ity.—Constitution, 8th.

Dear Standard:—If I hadn’t prom
ised you and dozens of others to “lot
you hear from me," I’d be stretched cut
now taking a comfortable snoozo. I’ve
had my dinnor, and a good one, fol
lowed by somo ot oeteraa (not necessary
hero to meution) and a good mellow
cigar, and feel “at peace with all tho
world and the rest of mankind,” as one
of our Presidents wrote in his message.
That is to say, I would feel so if this
letfcor business was off my hand. Serves
mo right, though—ought not to have
made so many promises, knowing as 1
do how frequently they get people into
trouble—especially promises “to pay.”
But the obligation is out and must bo
mot, even if it has to bo done under
whip.
We left Cedartown, as you krow, on
tho 9.10 a. m. freight for Romo, whero
our tickets were to meet us. We got to
Romo-some time that afternoon, about
1.30, I beliovo. Wasn’t that a lightning
run for you ! Four hours of solid rid
ing for 57 cents, but most of it was done
in tho yards at Cedartown. By tho
time our transcontinental transporta
tion (there’s a fine pair of words, aru’fc
they?) was arranged and paid for nnd a
dozen or so of howdys and goodbyes
(with proper accompaniments)
changed with old friends, it was time to
hurry to East Rome and take the South
ern for Anniston. Hero we got more
fanoy riding. We thought it was to be a
Pullman vestibule. It was a local freight
with a kind of jim-orow caboose at
tached, and the oabooso loaded to the
gunwales with all sorts, colors and con
ditions — mostly “colors and condi
tions”—people who had gone to Rome
to get their Christmas jugs and jags
(and had not forgotten either of them,)
several of them hilariously and uproar
iously drunk, somo of us not quite so
much so but nearly all of qr so-so.
Well, by 0 p. m. wo had ixfffod and
pounded and yelled our/^ay down to
Prior’s—7 miles from borne in 9 hours !
Only 2993 miles more to ’Frisco, or
thereabouts ! Qr course, wo were not
in Anniston on time, but neithor was
tho Georgia Pacific, and the two nega
tives made a very acceptable affirmative
in the shape of a connection. Then our
traveling troubles wore soon ended in
tho soothing, restful, vibrating swiug
of tho Pullman Palace sleeper, “Volu
sia.” I decided to have its name
changed to “Voluptsia,” but went to
sleep and forgot to mention it to Mr.
Pullman. However, I suppose “Volu
sia” will do till I get back. I’ve nover
travelled, you know—have scarooly
been out of sight of Cedartown in all
the—ah—several years of my life, so I
don’t mind admitting, just to you, that
there were one or two things about it
that I didn’t know, maybe three. When
the Pullman conductor came along and
asked for my ticket—a brand new one,
a yard long, for which I had just paid
$112.50—1 handed it to him expecting
him to look at if, maybe punch it, and
hand it back. Instead ho gave mo a lit
tle piece of pasteboard not big enough
for a good thumbpaper and coolly
pocketed my big ticket and walked off
with it. Tho porter was standing by
and I gave him an appealing look and
said, “That was cool, wasn’t it?” Ho
grinned and said, sympathetically, “He
gwine giv it back ter you in de mohuiu,
sah. He got to show it to de udder con
ductor, so he wont havter wake you up,
sah.” I gave that nigger a dime lo say
nothing about it, but I mistrust him.
But I learned something! I didn’t tell
Walker about it, for it won’t do to let
your children know that you are short
oa any kind of information. It kind
o’ knocks you -off your pedestal, as it
wore, to let ’em find out that you don’t
know everything, and a few oyer. “Dis
cipline must be maintained at home,”
Sergeant Bagnet used to say. Malcolm
asked mo once how to pronounce
“Uwchlan” the (name given by Paul
Baugh to his pretty College street home.
I looked wise and made p sound that
was a cross between a grunt and getting
something that is too hot out of your
mouth quick. He said, “Yessir,” and
read on, fortunately without asking me
to repeat it, for I couldn’t have repro
duced the sound I had made by any
possibility. But I asked some astute
person, like Will Bunn, how to pro
nounce the word, when I wput down to
town again. The information I got
probably as valuable as that I gave
Malcolm. • Hi ! but I got a long way
from the “Volusia,” didn’t I?
As I was going on to say, my next
faux pas (that's French, Russell; you
don’t know how to pronounoe it, nor
what it means, but it’s all right; I
it from a Creolo yesterday,) was made
Christmas morning. Wo were spinning
along through the piney woods of lower
Mississippi—just like thoso of lower
Georgia,only Mississippi's timber seems
to be almost untouched—a pointer for
Scott Shiflett. Seeing that it was 9 a.
m., and knowing that we wore dno in
Now Orleans at 8 30 a. m., I thought I’d
try to flud “whero wo woro at.” I drow
back tho ourtuiu and put my head out
into the aislo to inqniro of any ono
uear. There was a tall person of solemn
visago and Moorish aspect standing at
tho end of tho oar. I asked, in ordinary
tone, “How far aro wo from Now
Orleans?” Instead of answoriug my
question or ignoring it,ho oamo directly
to mo, aspeot and all, and stooping over
so that his mouth was near my ear said,
“115 miles, sir,” in a low undertone and
turned and walked back to his station.
After somo cogitation I realized that ho
was toaohiug mo, in a polite way, to
speak in a sleeper, if I spoke at all, as I
would in a sick-room with tho patient
asleep. And thoro is reason and sense
in it. After my bad broak to tho porter
about tho tiokot, I thought I’d bo moro
circumspect and cautious, lie asked if
I wished to retire and being told I did,
took up my luggage and said “Dis way,
sah.” Ho soon stopped and said, “What
number, sah?” I saw I was right up
against another crisis, so I took a little
time to think, and finally said, rather
brightly I thought, that I considered
myself No. 1. “I mean wlmt number is
your borf.sah?” “How should I know?”
said I. “It’s on yoh ticket, sah.” “Tho
conductor took my ticket,” I replied
rather fiercely, for I was sure I had him
there. “Yoh number is on de little one
ho giv you, sah.” “Ohl” and I fumbled
in my pookets confusedly for it. Wliou
I handed it to him I could see that ho
was just closing his countenance after
another wide griu. Ah, ho was an ex
asperating wretch! But I was learning
how to travel in n Pullman. Thoso
throe things I won’t have to learn any
more, but the still unlearned things
that I’ve got to explore!
Breakfast at 10 in tho buffet consist
ing mainly of stylo and service and
prices. But it was a most welcome con
venience, for all that. No other inci
dent of special interest until wo found
ourselves sailing over tho ooeau, appar
ently, and almost out of sight of land.

What Wo Eat
Is intended to nourish and sustain us,
but it must be digested aud assimilated
boforo it can do this. In other words,
tho nourishment contained in food must
bo separated by tho digestive organs
from tho wasto materials and must be
carried by the blood to all parts of the
body. We believe tho reason for tho
groat benefit which so many people
dorivo from Hood’s Sarsaparilla lies in
fact that this medicine gives good di
gestion and makes pure,rioh blood. It
restores tho functions of thoso organs
whioh convert food into nourishment
that gives strength to nerves and
muscles. It also euros dyspepsia,
scrofula, salt rheum, boils, sores, pim
ples aud eruptions, catarrh, rheuma
tism and all diseases that have their
origin in impure blood.

More Pure-Breed Cuttle For Georgia.
In our Inst monthly talk mention was
made of tho instrumentality of the De
partment of Agriculture iu connection
with other parties in bringing into
Georgia 100 short-horns and Hero fords
for tho purpose of improving tho breeds
of hoof cattlo. Sinoo that time two more
carloads of pure breeds havo been
shipped into the state nnd sold at fair
prices. All of these, liko tho first lot,
aro young cattle. A short while ago
tho prison commissioners purchased
from Mr. Murray Bnbeock of Vir
ginia, a IB-months-old Hereford bull
for tho prison farm. Tho animal,
which is ono of the handsomest
ever brought into the state, cost $200.
Judge Turner is negotiating for a herd
of Hereford heifers for liio purpose of
raising ou the prison farm pure stock to
sell to Georgia farmers for breeding
purposes.
It must bo boruo in mind that Horn-
fords aro raised for beef and not for
milk. The cows of this breed furnish
only enough milk to sustain a calf. Ono
needs only to look at a Hereford, with
his short legs and long body, to know
that ho will furnish abundance of tho
best beef. They are a well-marked
breed, easily distinguished from other
cattle by tlioir white beads, legs, bellies
aud tails and red sides. The bulls are
very docilo and easily managed.
The live stock department is one of
the best features of the state farm. It is
tho intention of tho commissioner to
raise on the farm not only all tho meat
needed for the convicts, but also tho best
breeds of cattle aud hogs to sell to the
farmers and stock raisers of Georgia at
the lowest possible price.—State Agri
cultural Department.

•npig With Corn.
What food is host for fat*
Question,
toning?
Answer.—Wo know of no better an
swer to this than the following, which
appeared in ono of our daily papers:
“For furnishing food for market no
food substance known equals corn. Al
falfa, clover. Bermuda, sorghum, arti
chokes, swee:} potatoes and peanuts aro
all good food to promote growth and
make lean meat; but corn for adding
the plumpnoss that makes porkers sell,
cannot bo improved upon, as far as is at
present known. Wo can raise more corn
than all the hogs in tbo world can eat,
and raise hogs enough to oat all the corn
wo can grow. This is a fact; not a
paradox,’’
Tho best way to use this corn is to
grind it into meal bofore feeding, for
thou it is moro digestible.
Raising llogs.
Question.—By a correspondent from
another state—L Is it profitable to raise
hogs in North Georgia? 2. Will they
fatten if allowed to range through tho
woods?
Answer.—1. A great many hogs aro
raised iu North Georgia and, liko the
beef of that section, find a ready market.
2. During at least seven months of tho
year they rango tho woods and grow fat
on acorns, chestnuts, hickory nuts and
such other food as they can pick up.
But of course, like any other stock, hogs
need tho attention and care of man to
produce tho best results.—State Agri
cultural Department.
"Z2 1)11 PERCY I. JONES
IUb luterest I ugly of' i lie Philip
tines to n Constitution Reporter.
Dr. Percy L. Jones was in At-
lanta last week, visiting; his sis
ter, Mrs. Dr. E. II. Richardson,
and while there was interviewed
by a Constitution reporter about
the former’s stay iu the Philip
pine Islands as an army surgeon
of Uncle Sam.
Among other things the Consti
tution says:—
“Dr. Jones is the typical educated
young American, alert, aggressive and
imbued with all that is implied by the
modern spirit of expansion. He stands
high in his chosen profession., and
from his conversation it is evident that
he has been a close and intelligent ob
server of affairs in the Philippines.
“During the latter part of his service
Dr. Jones was stationed at Iloilo, the
second city in the Philippines, on the
island of Panay. lie held the impor
tant post of health officer there, and
Imd ample opportunity to familiarize
himself with sanitary conditions and
to study tlie maladies endemic in that
climate. In the course of his duties,
he daily visited the army hospital nl
Iloilo.
“Dr. Jones said, newspaper reports
to the contrary notwithstanding, that
the health of the American soldier in
the Philippines is fairly good and that,
the mortality from disease in the army
is hardly more than normal. There
are no epidemics there, smallpox hav-
g been stamped out nearly a year
ago by vigorously precautionary meas
ures and scientific treatment.
“I>r. Jones says the rations furnised
the army are exceptionally good, and
that Uncle Sam does his utmost to
keep his soldiers in fine fettle physi
cally and mentally. IW of the men
“beef” about the treatment they re
ceive, but on the contrary, swear by
the home government and are full of
enthusiasm. A vast majority of them,
lie said, are zealous partisans of the
administration, regardless of . what
their political affiliations were in the
states.
“Dr. Jones is himself enthusiastic in
the same respect and thinks the Phil
ippines will prove the colonial bonanza
of the t wentieth century to the United
States. Ou the island of Mindanao
alone, he said,there was mahogany and
ebony enough, twice over, to offset the
.$20,000,000 paid the islands, and gold
nnd coal beyond the dreams of avarice.
Agriculturally, he believes the Philip
pines will become a wonderful factor
in the eastern market, ami a valuable
consumer of American manufactured
products. The land is remarkably fer
tile, and the natives, with a proper ex
ample set before them, will make first-
rate laborers and developers, lb* say*
they have plenty of intelligence and
many(nd mi fable qualities.
“Manila is getting pretty well
Americanized. Many municipal im
provements have been made, especially
in sanitation, and the native popula
tion seems well content arid prosper
ous. Many Americans, when they get
their discharge from the army, engage
iu trade there, and the immigration of
business men from the states has been
quite considerable.”
