informed Dr. Matthews that he bad
been bitten by a-rattle-snake.
Whisky was at once brought out, but
the little fellow cbuld not swallow
and in’thirty minutes from the time he
was bitten he was a corpse.
It is thought that the running to the
house caused the poison to penetrate
his system quicker than it would have
done had he kept still. Some think that
the fangs of the snake struck an artery,
; which caused his death in such a short
time.

Successful Business Hen.
Who are our most successful business
men ? Go out on the street and look them
over. . You won’t find them men who
have pale cheeks. They are not thin,
emaciated men. They aro not nervous,
irritable men. They are men whose
faces i ndicate robust health. Men with
good blood, and plenty of it. That’s the
secret of their success. A man whose
blood is thin and weak and poisoned
with impurities, is never successful like
his healthy neighbor. You cannot ex
pect him to be, for without rich,strong,
nourishing blood he will lack the“ vim”
and “push” which the man must have
who would succeed. Such men should
use Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis-
eov< ry to restore their impoverished
blood to its normal condition. By the
use of this great blood-purifier and
builder-up of the system, they may put
themselves in a condition which will
enable them to win the success they are
anxious to achieve.

leaving a balance of $650 now in the
treasury. After full deliberations
resolution was passed, ordering the
funds on hand to be deposited in bank
and also all future contributions,
resolution was also passed designating
the first day of June, 1890, as the time
when the association will determine
upon the plans, specifications and cost
of the monument to be erected at Liber
ty Hall to the memory of the late Hon.
A. H. Stephens, and then the work will
begin upon the monument. A rcsolu-

Miss M.A.H. Gay for the very efficient
services already rendered the associa

What Prohibition Will do.
Philadelphia Record.
The more the voters of Pennsylvania
consider the Prohibitory amendment
the more glaring its inconsistencies, in
justice and unreasonable character are
brought into view. It does not take
sensible business man long to form an
opinion as to the consequences of the
adoption of tbe measure* while the in
dustrious and intelligent farmer, the
capitalist and the property-holder are
not a whit behind him in reaching their
conclusions. They may be all temper
ance men, an^ very properly be op
posed to the indiscriminate sale of in
toxicating liquors, but after serious
consideration and thorough inquiry
into the question they are compelled to
acknowledge that the proposed plan for
“abolishing the evil” is not feasible
since it would result in a system of clan
destine selling and drinking of liquor
smuggled into the State, thereby' in
creasing drunkenness in the very face
of the law established for its prevention.
They see that instead of “crushing the
life out of the hydra,” as the orators of
the measure say they will do, under its
working the progeny of the “monster”
will be bred in secret places and appear
in due time to overrun the Common
wealth in greater numbers and more
hideous and repulsive form. :
A STORMY JUNE,

pected. We name the 1st, 2nd and 3rd,
as the days of greatest probable danger.
About the ,7th is a day which ordina
rily might bring slight reactionary
storms, but here summer solstice and
the effects of the planet Mars are apt to
prolong the disturbance and provoke to
greater violence.
On 10th the annual solstice period be
gins, continuing as a rule .past the 21st.
A regular storm period is central this
year on the 12th, constituting the period
10th to 16th one of marked importau.ee.
Hard storms within this limit will be
almost a physical necessity. Keep a
prudent weather eye on say about the
11th, 12th, 13th and 14th. Watch the
temperature and the clouds. W;irin,
southerly winds and threatening clouds
will mean danger. There ought to be
great and general rains at this season.
The disturbance of Jupiter and Mars
are central throughout the whole of the
solstice period this year, and will,
doubtless, aggravate and prolong tbe.
regular and reactionary disturbances
into spells of continuous rainy weather.
Mars is on the 16th, and the 17th and
the 18 reactionary; watch all storms on
or about thiese dates.
From the 22d to the 28th is the last
period'for June. With the moon be
tween the sun and earth on the morn
ing of the 28th, the most active part of
this period maty come at the last. Or
dinarily the danger days would fall
about thb 24th, 25th and 26th. Should
heavy rains and electrical storms by any
means fail at the June periods, violent
volcanic and earthquake convulsions
may be expected, especially about the
close of the month. Watch the special,
“longtime predictions” of the United
States signal service. Note the periods
they cover,'the localities indicated, and
use them generally “for all that they

New Way to Fish.
Col. Baldwin says that while In
Southern Georgia, he learned a new
way to catch fish. He stopped with
an old gentleman who had a large
number of geese. They were all
caught in the morning, and a line with
hook attached to the leg of each goose,
and the hook well baited, and carried
to the pond, and turned loose. While
the goose was swimming around with
the hook and line under him, a trout
would be attracted by the bait, and get
hung to the hook. The goose would
discover something unusual going on,
and would rise and fly to the barn,
with a three pound trout. Col. Bald
win vouchers for this, and says the old
gentleman got all the fish he wanted iu
this way.
And Flee—Their Absence is not Noticed
For Hours and Their Capture
Doubtful, a Novel Delivery.
Atlanta, May 27.—There was a jail
breaking at Decatur about nine o’clock
last night which was carried out in an
unusual manner.
The jail is constructed of stone, the
outer walls forming the hack of the
cells.
One cell was occupied by three pris
oners, J. K. Moss, white, and Jim
Scott and John Lew, colored. Under
the supervision of Moss the negroes suc
ceeded in removing a large stone in the
hack of their cell, and crawled through
the hole. Their absence was not no
ticed until this morning and the pris
oners have had so many hours start that
iti8 doubtful if they will ever be cap
tured.
Moss was charged with assault with
intent to murder, having shot Bud
Kennedy at Lithonia about a year ago.
About 4 months ago, Moss’ sixteen-
year-old wife passed through Atlanta
on a visit to her husband and asked a
detective to buy her a file to give her
husband. x
The negroes were charged with as
sault and battery.
