CEDARTOWN STANDARD.
DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTERESTS OF CEDARTOWN AND POLK COUNTY.
VOLUME
CEDARTOWN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING. AUGUST 29,1901.
NUMBER 29.
An Qid Pastor, woman s world.
Rev. James Poindexter, Columbus, O.
No man in the capital city of the State
of Ohio is better known than the Rev.
James Poindexter. For many years he
has been the successful pastor of the
Second Baptist Church of that city.
Every day his venerable figure and
kindly face may be seen on the streets
of thecity where he has labored for so
many years. What a history of benev*
olenco and self-sacrifice might be writ*
ten by simply giving the details of the
every-day life of this faithful pastor and
eloquont preacher.
But old ago comes to the best of men,
The rheumatics peculiar to advanced
age had already begun its insidious rav
ages when it became necessary to find a
remedy,if possible, that his days of use
fulness might not be shortened.
An efficient nerve tonic that would
stimulate the circulation, improve the
digestion, and increase the tono and
vigor of liis whole system, was needed.
The only remedy capable of meeting all
these indications was found to be Pa
nina. In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman,
he states:
“My attention was called some time
ago to your medicino for rheumatia
troubles by Mr. Cook, an old reliable
druggist of this city, and take pleasure
in 6aying that I lmvo tried them and
found them good. It is my opinion that
the remedy, Peruna, is Justly entitled to
the fame which it has throughout the
United States.”

Miss Swagge/—“I don’t think Miss
Warble ought to be permitted to sing iu
our choir.” Mr. Basso—“Why, she has
a lovely voice!” Miss Swagger—“That
may be, but she’s wearing her last
year’s hat trimmed over.”
ECZEMA’S
ITOH IS TORTURE.
Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
flammation ; little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off; sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearablethe acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.

The Girl Who !■ “Out.”
Between the girl that is “out” aud
the girl that Is not “out” there is n
great gulf fixed by, the unwritten laws
of fashionable society. The latter la
the grub and the former the butterfly.
“It Is really amusing to see the
change (which is, of course, purely
conventional) that a year will brlug
forth In a girl of 18.” remarked a man
of the world recently. “About ft year
ago I stopped at the Z.’s, la Oldport.
After dinner, when tlw? uieu went into
the dining room. I noticed n toll, at
tractive looking young woman, gowned
In a high tnusllu frock, whom 1 hud not
seen nt dinner and to whom 1 wiya not
Introduced. At first 1 thought she
might be a governess or companion, ns
she seemed entirely grown up. but
upon Inquiry 1 was told she was the
second daughter of the house, who was
not ‘out.’ ‘But she may be spoken to?
l queried, rather Interested in meeting
a pretty, new species of womanhood.
‘Why, of course,’ laughed her relative,
who had given me the Information.
‘I am sure she will think It very nice of
you to notice her.’ Thereupon l went
up to the young woman and tried to
engage her In conversation. Well, 1
could hardly get a word or a look from
the demure maiden. She replied to all
my observations In monosyllables and
seemed so painfully shy that I finally
gave up the attempt aud left her to
amuse herself with her work, which
she had brought with her Into the
drawing room.
“During my visit, which lnsted n
week. It was always the same. 1 met
Maud, as they called her, frequently,
but never seemed to make any head
way and left ihe house with the Idea
that she was either exceedingly stupid
or hopelessly diffident. 80 you can im
agine my astonishment whin this win
ter nt a dance u brilliant looking young
woman beckoned to me from a little
distance. ‘You do not remember me,
Mr. Smith,’ she cried laughingly when
l had obeyed her summons. ‘Well, no
wonder! But I remember you very
well and how good you were to me last
summer at Oldport.’ 1 stood petrified
with astonishment. Was It possible
that this vivacious young creature with
the aplomb of a veteran society wom
an was the shy, shrinking girl that I
had tried to talk to In vain only eight
months before? ‘But what a trnnsfor-
inntloq!’ I exclaimed nt length. ‘How
Is It possible that you could have so
completely changed In so short a time? 1
‘Why, you stupid man, I have “come
out,”’ she returned, ‘and I shall expect
you to be very nice to me. Will you?’
she added eoquettlshly. ‘But which Is
your real self,’ I went on—‘the quiet
little maid or the society girl of to
night?’ ‘Ah, that is for you to find
out!’ she answered and danced off with
her partner.”
IIow Minn Rankle Won Her Decree.
Miss Bertha Runkle, the girl Author
of “The Helmet of Navarre,” Is one of
the literary personages of the day. The
fact that Miss Runkle has scored a
genuine success at the age of 22 is
something worthy of more than ordi
nary comment. Only the girl’s intimate
friends believed in her youth, because
her story showed such maturity of
treatment and scholarship. The rend
ing public laughed and said, “Walt un
til she comes Into the public eye: then
we shall see she is a much older wom
an.”
Miss Runkle came into the public eye
In the early part of April by reading a
paper on “Romanticism” before the
Contemporary club of Philadelphia.
She has been brought up in a book
ish atmosphere. Her mother, Mrs.
Runkle. has been for many years on
the staff of one of the magazines and
has supported the family, giving the
boy a Harvard education and training
the girl at Lome, or. rather, that was
her plan, but Miss Runkle defeated
part of it.
She Is devoted to her brother, and
when he went to Harvard the two en
tered into a close alliance. It resulted
In Miss Runkle’s graduating from Har
vard without a degree.
Her brother kept In touch with her
every day and coached her all summer.
Each morning she would receive the
lecture as taken down by him. She
had a duplicate of every book he had.
She studied ns many hours n day as he
did. She mailed him every night the
result of her work, and he gave her
the added benefit of his examinations.
She went through each examination
with him and passed without condition.
During their senior year she studied
harder than the young man himself,
and the excitement In the Runkle
household at the time of the final ex
amination was Intense.
Literary men and Harvard men were
ns Interested in this unique way of
Miss Runkle’s going through Harvard
as she and her mother were. The
brother had aroused all the interest and
enthusiasm of the Harvard professors,
ami when the final day came Miss Ber
tha Runkle’s papers were examined,
and it was found that she had passed
with flying colors. She virtually won
the Harvard degree.—Saturday Even

KILLED BY NEPHEW.
THE LATHAM MURDER IN HAR
ALSON LAST WEEK
Wsh by Insane Nephew of ihe Victim.
Murderer Sent to Asylum.
The Standard last week published
an aocount of the finding of the dead
body of Mr. Thomas S. Latham, a good
citizen of Haralson county, in the Talla
poosa river at Rowell’s bridge, in that
oounty. He had been shot in the back
by some one whose identity was then
unknown, and his body was thrown
into the river.
It has since transpired that the deed
was done by Bije Latham, a nephew of
the deceased. Bije had left the house
with his uncle in apparently the most
friendly spirit, and after killing his
uncle returned home and told his
mother what he had done. The young
has been unbalanced mentally for
some time, and did not seem to realize
what he had done. He was placed in
jail at Buohanan, but has been adjudged
insane and sent to tho asylum at Mil-
ledgeville.
TnE Standard was misinformed last
week aB to Mr. Latham being tbe father
of Col. Edgar Latham, formerly of Ce
dartown, the deceased being his unole.

The Ladies’ Home Journal for Sep

addition to an unusual number of inter
eating stories and striking features, it
devotes seven pages to a complete set

bodices, hats and wraps. The most im
portant literary feature, perhaps, is the
initial installment of “Miss Aloott’
Letters to Her ‘Laurie’ ’’—letters which
have never before been printed. There
is a delightful description of a day in
the woods with Ernest Setfcon Thomp
