Family Reminiscences.
f)ne of the daintiest, and at the
same time one of the most interest-
ing little booklets which has been
the good fortune to fall into our
hands is “Family Reminiscences”
by Mrs. Caroline Whitman, known
and loved by all Toccoans, for her
sweetness and gentleness of charac¬
ter—the wife of many years—years
of infinite pleasure—if that can be
given one here in this vale of tears
—to Dr. P. S. Whitman, of Toc-
coa. The booklet is edited by a
life-long friend, Mrs. Louise E. Ab-
ernethy, of Osage, la., who made
a visit, together with her husband,
Dr. Abernathy, to Dr. Whitman,
soon after the death of Mrs. Whit-
man, which occurred about two
years ago.
This interesting booklet opens
with an introductory sketch of
Mrs Whitman by her husband,
which is very interesting and well
written, followed by “Family
Reminiscences” from the pen of
Mrs. Whitman. We consider Rem¬
iniscences perfect gems ; they show
in every line the truly lovely char¬
acter of the writer. The book is
well edited and is a loving Iribut*
from the living to the dead.
The following is the prefatory
note by Mrs. Abernathy :
“In the summer of 1897, we vtsited JDr,
Whitman in his Georgia home, the
ful and romantic place where Mrs Whit
man spent so many years of her life. Di
and Mrs. Whitman had been our friendc
for many years. Mrs. Whatman had pass
•d to the “beyond” a few weeks before oui
visit in Georgia.
Being much interested in all that per¬
tained to the life and character of this love
ly Christian woman, I read with great in¬
terest “Reminiscences,” and suggested to
Dr. Whitman that it be published as a lit
tie souvenir for her many friends, wh<
loved and esteemed her. He consented 01
condition that I take it in charge. It af
fords me great pelasure to give this litth
book of gems to the public.
The reader will find, in these early rec-
0 llections, a perfect delineation of South
S. rn life in Georgia before the war, a tru»
picture blacks sketch of the relation of whites ami
in a model Southern home It ai
home, so incidentally gives glimpses of an idea,
for more than half a century, where
husband and wife were not only devoted
to each other, but unselfishly interested in
every means to advance Christian work
and education.
* 'Tis sweet as year by year we lose
Friends out of sight, in faith to muse
How grows in Paradise our store.’ ”

Havana's First Yankee Camp.
Havana, November 25.—The
United States transport Florida ar¬
rived in front of Morro castle at 6
o’clock this morning, took a pilot
on board and proceeded. At 7 o’
clock she arrived in front of Maria-
nao beach. General Greene and
his staff left the Hotel Inglaterra
at 6 o’clock this morning for Ma-
rianao in order to superintend the
landing of the American troops
there.
Marshal Blanco, whose resigna¬
tion as captain general of Cuba has
just been accepted, sails for Spain
on Sunday next. He will be suc¬
ceeded by General Jiminez Castel¬
lanos, a division commander.
All four companies of the Second
regiment volunteer engineers,which
arrrived on the Florida, landed by
half-past 9 o’clock at the Maria-
nao wharf with colors flying. They
formed at the landing place and
marched to their camp, two miles
away, filing past General Greene
and his staff, who, on horseback,
reviewed the men as they passed.
All the men, with the exception of
five who are still suffering from
sea sickness and were taken to the
camp by train,were in line and are
all in good spirits and fit for duty.
One hundred and fifty Cubans
General Menocal’s division were
employed in cleaning the campsite
and by 11 o’clock the tents were
being pitched for the first American
camp at Havana.

The Calvin Bill.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
The passage of the Calvin bill,
for the purpose of testing the con¬
stitutionality of the io per cent
bank tax, is exciting some contro¬
versy among the newspapers in the
north.
While for more than thirty years
it has been held by great lawyers
this tax was unconstitutional,
yet the strong arm of government
ha * always prevented the question
rtsuchinjr the fin<il court, ’ where itfc
ment ...... ht »» c »““* ?_ ,
‘ m '* P a86e «f
on. It is a matter of notoriety that
President Grant, in filling vacanj i
cies in tlie United States supreme
court made it a point to find ou,
how Ins . . . stood . h.s . .
nominees upon
question as a candidate precedent.
With the legal opinions above al-
luded to and with the illv concealed
tampering with the courts on part
of the wiiite house thus indicated, i
it is no wonder that its determina¬ ]
tion has been 6tifled,until now there
are those who imagine that the
right of the United States govern¬
ment to put such a tax upon insti¬
tutions of state was in accordance
with organic law. To these peo¬
ple the passage of a bill to bring
about a test of this disputed tax
comes as a surprise. When a great
-.tate seems disposed to place itself
in court, it chalenges attention,and i
sets the advocates of the national
bank system to talking.
The Chicago Times-Herald, dis¬
cussing the Georgia action, has this
to say :
It is said that one object of the
Georgia enactment is to bring the
question again before the supreme
court, in the expectation that the
court as now organized might re¬
verse the decision of 1869, but this
possibility is too remote for consi-
eration. It is not at all likely that
the present court would reverse a
decision that has been established
aw for thirty years and under
-vhich great business interests have
>een developed. Such a reversal
vould drive out of business every
national bank in the United States
rganized under the present banW ^
tig law.”
It will be seen that the paragraph
juoted, instead of attempting to
defend the constitutionality of tlB
bank tax simply seeks refuge^n tlx
special plea that business might be
UTected. It is the same old ;' 1
vvhich is continuously brought
svhen an iniquitous law is assailed.
There seems to be a greater solici¬
tude for business built up under
terms of iniquity than there is for the
rights of the people which have
ieen rudely attacked. It is a poor
irgument to say that because
.hrough manipulation the court of
last resort has been kept from pass-
ng on a question, that therefore, it
should not be brought up at all.
Even granting the cogency of such
a reason,it is not true that the busi¬
ness interests of the country would
be disturbed thereby. No obliga¬
tion of the government would be
iffected. The legality of the mon¬
ey issued by the United States govg
ernment is not at stake. The legis¬
lature of Georgia simply asks that
the unholy hand which has been
laid upon the rights and privileges
of the state shall be removed. This
done, every interest is free to move
as it has done hitherto. The nation¬
al banks, it is true, would cease to
have a monopoly of the banking
business, something which a great
many people befieve would conduce
to the revising and the building up
of trade, rather than to its disturb¬
ance.
Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Hedicine has
since 1S40 steadily risen in exceeds public favor,
and the demand for it far that of
any other Liver Medicine.
Ends Friendship With Russia.
Berlin, November 26.—The St.
Petersburg correspondent of The
Beringer Tageblatt says :
4 4 A Russian diplomatist in the
course of an interview declared
Russia will not stir a finger to pre¬
vent the United States from occu¬
pying the Philippines, but,he said,
he was unable to conceal his con¬
viction that the injustice of Amer¬
ica’s attitude presaged the termina¬
tion of the friendship which has
hitherto subsisted between Russia
and the United States. y y
Infidel Gives In On Gallows.
Cleburne, Tex., November 25. —
John B Shaw was han K ed at C.e-
burne today for killing Thomas
Crane a year ago.
Shaw, who claimed to be an in-
fidel, had refused all along to hav’e
any talk with or visits from preach-
ers, but at the last moment he re-
j lented and permitted a preacher to
be with him on the scaffold.

And Save Endless Suf-

The most offensive of all dis¬
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches, In fact,
many' who have been under treat¬
ment for so long, and during the
summer feel little discomtort ti 0121
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
Hie chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their Catarrh grows in severity
Those who have felt only a slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
on i y co ]<j weather is needed to de-
velop the disease What appears
to be only a had cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for-
merlv, and will return with
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.

Those who get a start on the dis-

find a cur*' less difficult. Catarrh
increases in severity year by year,
and becomes one of the most ob¬
stinate and deep-seated troubles.
But it is equally important that
the right remedy be given. All
local applications of sprays,

Twenty-five years ago this theory was used

by this famous old household remedy r___ art*
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.
