RHEUMATISM
Rheumatism does more than any other dis- "I't/UuKL
Mae to rob life of pleasure and comfort. It ia so painful and far-reaching in
its effect, on the system that those afflicted with it find themselves utterly
suable to enjoy bodily comfort or any of the pleasures of life. Some are
boand hand and foot and suffer constantly with excruciating pains, swollen;
stiff joints and muscles, and

Aa a oitlzen who lovee Thomas coun
ty, tte people and prosperity, I view
with auapieion, sorrow, and regret
this new county movement. Thai* are
many good reasons why we need do
division in Thomas county. Thomas-
ville, the ooonty aits, is near the cen
ter of the oonnty, with five railroad
Unas leading through all parts of the
ooonty, ail rnnmng dally trains to and
from the oonnty site. We have good
publio roads with llnt-daas bridges and
there ia no part of the ooonty and do
time but what we can reach the oonrt
house either by roads or rail in ample
time to attend court.
Another good reason why we need no
new ooonty la becacae' ever two thirds
of ns don't want 1L Another very good
ia becacae, it will increase onr
tazaa in both the old and new counties,
hardening the many lor a few. I live
thirteen miles from Thomasville and
nine from Cairo, and >111 be in the new
county if granted. • I have no railroad
with double daily eervtoe to and from
Thomasville, but until the liiUenlum
gets here, I don’t think it quite time or
right that we all should have oonrt
houeee, jails, etc. , . ■
In my humble judgement, both
Thomas and Decatur conn ties are now
up against the most dangerous propo
sition they have had to contend with in
many yeart, Thomas especially, for if
the last qensns be oorrect, white, 13,025;
colored, 17,450, nearly 4000 majority
already and everybody who knows any
thing about this part of the oonnty will
tell yon that wa have very few oolored
folks np this way. Now is the time for
somebody to do something. Where are
those fellows at? Two of them any-
way, who were so promiscons a year or
two ago shaking hands, smiling and
kissing babies. Now is the time boy, if
you ever aim to eat anymore peanuts,
around that big house in Atlanta. #
