McCURRY FORJUDGE.
Hart County Leader Will be in
the Race before the Legislature.
Hartwell, Ga.,Oct. 9 —The re¬
turns from the three counties com¬
prising this senatorial district indi¬
cate the defeat of Hon. A. G. Me-
Curry for the senate.
He has made a gallant fight and
deserves great credit for it. His
friends here were responsible for
his entering the race, insisting that
he should become the democratic
standard hearer. To do this he had
to retire from the race for the judg-
ship of the northern circuit.
His friends have now prevailed
upon him to re-enter that race and
they will make for him an active
canvass. Judge McCurry is an
able lawyer, a sterling democrat
and an exceedingly popular man.

“The Deacon.”
Last Friday evening “The Dea¬
con,” a comedy full of fun and pa¬
thos, following each other m quick
succession, was given at Matheson’s
Hall hv some amateurs from Bow¬
man , Ga., nearly all students of
John Gibson Institute, of which
Rev. A. E. Keese is President.
Mr. J.G. Edwards, as Pete, the
negro servant who was so anxious
to keep up the respectibility of the
Thornton family, was well-nigh
perfect, so natural was he in the
part. Miss Caruthers, as Mrs.
Thornton, Mrs. W. S. Keese as
Mrs. Darrah, Miss Gertie Keese as
Daisy, Miss Mamie Glen as the old
maid sister, Mr. W. S. Keese as
Matt Wheeler, and Mr. Glen as
the Deacon, rendered their parts
exceptionally well.
Mrs. Keese, who as Miss Lucy
Beall made many friends during
some previous visits to Mrs. Me-
Junkin, sang some charming solos
in a charming manner. Her voice
is sweet, full and highly cultivat¬
ed.
The evening’s entertainment was
closed by the “Grasshopper Canta¬
ta,’’which excited the risible mus¬
cles of the audience enough to add
a pound or two of obesity to each
individual, if there is anything in
the saying, “laugh and grow fat.”
The house was full, and a goodly
sum was realized for the benefit of
John Gitaon Institute, which needs
repair on Account of a providential

HELD WITHOUT BAIL
Charged With'Assault With In-
tent to Murder.
,
Charlie Scott and Zeb Nix, two
young men well known in Toccoa
were before esquires Cook and Da-
vis Monday on a charge of assault
with intent to murder one Thos.
Sudbury, a traveling scissors grin-
der, and were bound over to supe-
rior court without bail.
It seems there were five young
men who got Sudbury out with
them on a lark, somewhere near the
cemetery where they made him
drunk, and, Sudbury says, knock-
edand cuffed him unmercifully, but
that he got away from them and
hid under a negro’s house near Mr.
C. L. Mize’s residence, but he soon
found that they were still looking
for him and he crawled out and
ran for town but was ovei taken on
the hill at Mr. Mize’s residence,
but again got loose and went in to
Mr. Mize’s and begged for protec¬
tion. He finally came on to town
and Marshal Camp had him put to
bed at Mrs. Brooks’ boarding house,
near Inman’s office. About an
hour afterward Nix and Scott
came to Mrs. Brooks’ and went in,
ostensibly to buy a lunch, but when
they got in the house they soon
picked a fight with Sudbury, Scott
knocking him down and Nix cut¬
ting the man through the stomach,
making a gash about 3^ inches
long. Dr. Davis, the attending
physician, says Sudbury would
have been killed had his stomach
not been empty. Sudbury is a
tramp and traveling scissors grind¬
er, who had been at work on our
streets a few days previously.
He seems to be improving.
No cause is given for the affray.
It is to be hoped that verdict of
our justices will have a salutary ef¬
fect on the young men of our town
who are inclined to be ‘‘tough. 9 ?
Every citizen of Toccoa will uphold
the officers of the law in the dis¬
charge of their duty. While we
have a law let us administer it
without fear or favor, and as good
citizens respect the law as it is
written.

Mize, Oct. 12,1896.
A light fall of rain visited this
section of the South last Sunday
night.
The cotton crop is about harves¬

Mr. C. L. Mize of Toccoa, and

The regular Justice Court com¬
menced at Flintsville last Saturday
and some of the “boys” came very
near having a “fist and skull” com¬
batting affair.
The “pops” were successful in
electing all their candidates in this
county, but there is one sweet con¬
solation that the grand old Demo¬
cratic party has and that is: w e
are not dead yet by a jug full.
It seems somewhat strange that a
candidate running on a prohibition
platform would attempt to buy
votes with “corn licker.”
We are highly pleased to see the
Times-News changed from 4 to 8

will have plenty when Bryan is

If your children are subject to
croup, watch for the first symptom
of the disease — hoarseness. If
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is
given as soon as the child
hoarse it will prevent the attack.
Even after the croupy cough has
appeared the attack can always be
prevented by giving this remedy.
It is also invaluable for colds and

The Darlington, Wis., Journal
says editorially of a popular pat¬
ent medicine: “We know from
experience that Chamberlain’s Col¬
ic, Cholera and Diarrhcea Remedy
is all that is claimed for it, as on
two occasions it stopped excruciat¬
ing pains and possibly saved us
from an untimely grave. We
would not rest easy over night
without it in the house.” This
remedy undoubtedly saves more
pain and suffering than any medi¬
cine in the world. Every family
should keep it in the house, for it
is sure to be needed sooner or later.

A Needy Woman.
Mrs. Mitchell, the mother and
only support of two small children,
is sick and in distress in the base¬
ment of Matt Hughes residence,
with no one to help or take care of
her, except the few Christian la¬
dies around her.
Last week Mrs. W. M. Kilgo
found Mrs. Mitchell sick, without
food or fire and in a damp, un¬
healthy basement, with two little
children, all suffering for want of
attention and food.
Mrs. Kilgo took matters in hand
and did what she could for the dis¬
tressed, assisted by the ladies
the Ladies Aid Society of the Pres¬
byterian church. She would have
been moved‘to healthier quarters,
but her physician said that she
too sick to be moved, and the base¬
ment was whitewashed and made
habitable as possible.

Electric Bitters is a medicine
suited for any season, but perhaps
more generally needed, when
languid, exhausted feeling prevails,
when the liver is torpid and slug-
gish and the need of a tonic and al¬

this medicine has often averted long
and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely
in counteracting and freeing the
