It does not look so, but you own a horse and know it is so. A poor shoer causes all sorts of troubles to the most faithful of domestic animals. Would you save yourself annoyance from lameness and sluggishness in your horse ? Can you expect him to want to go if every step is agony ? We can prevent all this. -We employ only experienced men, who know how to shoe a horse scientifically. Isn’t that worth more than a botch ? Of course it is ; but we don’t charge any more. Bring us your horse a”d let us try our hand. He won’t be lamed and if he could talk would tell you how glad he was you had found our place. URRY GANTT TALKS- he is going to write several BOOKS.

A Wagon Placed Across the Street Car Track. Recently there have been several col lisions between the electric cars and wagons on the different streets in the city. These collisions have been caused mainly by reckless driving and attempt ing to cross in front of the cars when common sense would dictate otherwise. But there was a collision Wednesday night on Milledge avenue which has a slgniflear.ee to it. As the car came down the line near Mr. Sandy Rucker’s the driver sud denly saw a wagon in front across the track. It was too late to stop the car and it went into the wagon with full force smashing it to pieces. There were no horses hitched to the wagon, and it had evidently been rolled upon the track maliciously. Mr. Voss has offered a reward of $10 for the exposure of the person who put the wagon on the track. It looks very much as if it was the ac tion of some one seeking revenge. LIFE INSURANCE. How It Is Being Worked up Here. There are various lines of business nowadays hut none that have taken a firmer hold on the people than that of life insurance. The amount of money that is carried out of the South yearly in this line is enormoua, and yet when it returns it always comes in just at the time when the beneficiaries need it. Athens has several agencies and they have done good business here, tpo. One of the insurance agents here said yesterday, that while times were dull now, nevertheless during the year he had done a splendid business. RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT- Atiikns, Ga., Dec. 3rd, 1S91.

Washington, Dec. 10.—[Special.]— The cotton returns of December to the department of agriculture relate to the average prices on plantations. The complaint of unremunerative values is general, and the declaration is frequent that the crop does uot re turn the cost of production A feeling of discouragement pervades the report, and a disposition to reduce the area is expressed. The plantation price, which is the actual rate for cotton sold at a gin, average 7 3 cents per pound For the five years preceding the range was from 8 1 to 8.6, and averaged near ly 8 4 cents. This decline is echoed in the recoida of exportation, which averaged in Oc tober value of 8.9 cents against 10.11 cents for October of last year, a drop ol 12 per cent The state averages are as follows: Virginia, 7 cent 8 ; North Carolina, 7-4; South Carolina 7.4; Georgia 7 3^ Florida7.3; Alabama 7.3; Mississippi 7 3; Louisiana 7.3; Texas 7.0; Arkan sas 7.3; Tennessee 7.3 almost unexampled season for AT THE GRE\T CAPITOL. Mills Is Cros9 and Peevish and Was Not as popular as iCrlsp—Crisp and the Tyrant Reed- Other Pointers. Lakewood Air has Been of Uttle Bene fit to the Ex-Presldent’e Wife. Lakewood, N. J. Dec. JO.—ft is li-arned that Mrs. Cleveland has not, as was hoped, derived real benefit from her stay here. She is, in fact, hardly so well as when she arrived ten days agQ. A trained nurse is still on doty. Mrs. Cleveland takes massage daily and lives almost exclusively on wine. When she and her distinguished hus band drive out Mrs. Cleveland is muf fled in her furs, cloth leggings and wraps, and her husband’s strong right arm is at her back for support. She looks like a ghost, colorless,blue-lipped, hollow-eyed and with sunken cheeks. Not a soul is admitted to the cottage. Mr. Cleveland sits in the window all day long, except when he and Mrs Cleveland are away for their brief out ings, busy at his desk. The baby, wrapped to the chin, and in her little carriage, is taken out each day by her nurse. She seems very well, fresh and cheerful. The stay of ibe little party promises to extend fora longtime to come. NOTICE TO TEACHERS The State School Commissioner has appointed Saturday, the 19th day of December 1891 as the day of examina tion ot applicants for license to teach in the public schools. The examination will be held in /the Court bouse at Athens, Ga., beginning at 9 o’clock a. Applicants must file with the un- Ex-Congressman Carlton' talks in terestingly about Congress and affairs at- the Republic’s Capital. As a converger he is perhaps the most entertaining that was at Washington last term, and the.papers all over the country have accorded him tbat;meed of praise, besides calling him the hand somest member of Congress from the South. Ex-Congressman Carlton is a great admirer of Speaker Crisp, and it is .well known here that he and the Speaker were Tom Reed’s most violent ene mies in his tyrannical rulings last term. Mr. Carlton says no better choice for speaker could have been made than Crisp. He says Mills is a strong man—om of the strongest men in point of mind and brainy thought that has ever been in congress, but he is peevish and cross, and gets displeased with his best friends oftentimes when least, provoked. He was not a pleasing man and was not a- companionable as was Crisp. crisp and the tyrant Everybody; in Athens recalls the time when Crisp resisted the tyrant, Reed, and was seconded so manfully by Con gressman Carlton. While the house was in call the speak er ascertained that a quorum was pres ent, and ordered the clerk to call thi- roll upon the approval ofthe journal The Reed rules provided that while the house was in call only two motions were in order. One was a motion to adjourn and the other to dispense with further proceedings under the call. Mr. Crisp raised a point of order and called the speaker’s attention to the plain wording of the rule. Caught dead to rights, Rued was on fire in a moment- He tried to bulldoze thr Georgian and awakened the true Geor gia grit. “The clerk can read the journal with out objection,” said the man from Maine. “I object,” replied Mr. Crisp. “Such actiou is unprecedented, riucli a sug gestion has never been made in the his tory of Congress.” “Well,” replied the speaker with much ascerbity, “it’s time that it was made.” At this the republicans raised a shou 1 of encouragement. Crisp remained standing, perfectly, imperturbable, un til the tumult subsided. “That is the judgment of the chair,” he then replied. “The chair is not the master of this bouse, but its servant. He must obey its order.” Reed was white with rage. Democrats broke into applause in their torn and the republicans cried for their “regular order.” “The gentleman from Georgia need not recommence,” the speaker threat eningly observed, as soon as quiet was restored. With great dignity Mr. Crisp replied: “The gentleman will insist upon his rights. No tyrant can take them from him.” At this the repnbticans fairly scream ed for the regular order. Mr. Rowell, chairman of committee on election, ob tained recognition. “I make the point of order,” be shouted, “that the remarks of the gen tleman from Georgia are out of order.” “No more so than the remarks of the speaker,” Crisp calmly replied. This remark touched the czar like a hot iron. His eyes flashed, bis cheeks flushed aud hs brought his gavel down with double-fold vengeance. “The gentleman from Georgia will take bis seat!” he roared. Crisp remained as calm as a May morn. Unlike many of his colleagues when suffering from similar tyranical outbursts, he recognized the amenities of the situation. “Certainly the gentleman from Geor gia will take his seat<” he replied with norfant n/imnAcnrA * 4< hnf ho will rico He May be Elected to The United States Senate, Chicago, Dec. 10.—A special dispatch from Galveston, Tex., says: The defeat of Roger Q. Mills for the speakership has given widespread support, it is said, to the efforts of his admirers to elect him to the United States senate. Governor Hogg has stated that an ex tra session of the legislature will be called in March or ApriL The. election of a successor to John M. Reagan will be one of the duties of that body. Senator Chilton holds his appoint ment from the governor, and although a candidate for election by the legisla ture, the friends of Mills are said to he confident of electing the tariff reform champion. How Came the Tooth Extracted? Mechanicsburg, O., Dec. 10.—David Raudebaugh, a prominent citizen of this place, had a tooth which caused him considerable pain. He retired as usual, with the intention of visiting a dentist the following morning and having the molar extracted. Upon awakening in the morning he was startled by finding his pillow and shirt bosom covered with blood, and an investigation disclosed the tooth lying upon the bed clothing close by. He had suffered no pain suf ficient to awaken him during the night, and how the tooth ever became detached from his jaw remains a mystery which is not likely to ever be explained. A number of spiritualists in this commu nity claim to be able to furnish a key to the mystery and say that they had knowledge that the extricating of the tooth would occur as it did. Ill Health Causes Suicide. Vincennes, Ind., Dec. 10.—John C. Adams, a prominent attorney, was found dead in his office by his little daughter, who went there to ascertain why her father had not come to his supper. A revolver at his side with one. chamber empty, a hole in his right temple and a large pool of blood on the floor told the story of self destruction. Adams had suffered lately • of a nervous disease, which was indirectly the cause of his untimelp death. He was quite promi nent in politics, and enjoyed the dis tinction of having been the only Repub lican ever elected to the office of county prosecutor. He left nomessage further than the words, "misery, misery, mis ery, ” scrawled with lead pencil on a tablet of paper on which he was en gaged in writing a brief. CONGRESSMEN TIRED OUT. NO BACK STEP. A Prominent Georgian on Speaker Crisp’s Election. Savannah, Ga., Dec. 10.—Fleming Du Bignon, in an inteiview with The Evening Press, denies that Crisp’s elec tion means the overthrow of Cleveland’s influence or the retirement of tariff re form as the leading isane. "If I thought so." said Du Bignon, "it would cool my ordor over Crisp’s elec tion, but I do not think so. “Crisp was sincere in his caucus speech that his election as speaker meant no step backward in tariff re form. " Du Bignon believes the contest next year will be on the same line and with the same leaders as in *88. WILL MEM GO UP? THE SITUATION IN GERMANY MAY DO IT. SOME INDICATIONS. An Interesting Interview With a Citi zen Not Long. From Germany— American Meats in Foreign Ports. SILENT CLICKERS. Strike of Telegraph Operators on a Western Railroad. St. Louis, Doc. 11.—A special from El Paso, Tex., says; The strike of telegaaph operators be tween this csty and Yuma, on the Pa cific system of the Southern Pacific Railroad company, promises to develop' into mammoth proportions. The superintendent of the Santa Fe railroad has ordered dispatchers to handle Southern Pacific trains between this city, Deining.N. M., but the oper ators bluntly refused to do, and the superintendent was notiified. Nothing has been heard from him up to 6 p. m. If he tries to force the mat ter and put "scabs” to do the work, it means a strike on the whole Santa Fe system. The district superintendent of the Western Union ordered the men to handle the ' trains between here and Doming, but the men would not, and the matter rests there until higher of ficials are heard from. In an interview one of them stated that if the Southern Pacific company succeeded in defeating the strikers they would be next to be dealt with in a like manner. The operators have received assurance from every connection,' and they will stand by each other in this case. Earned Beat Tltey Are Taking a Well Til) Saturday. Washington, Dec. 10.—After two weeks of electioneering, two days of balloting, and a few hours of desultory work, including the difficult task of reading papers or writing letters while the president’s message was being read, congress is taking what it considers a well earned rest till Saturday. The members, for most part, are going through the departments, trying to get acquainted with things, to save their constituents by special dispensations or to get away from the tireless throngs who are besieging their influence fur government jobs. Speaker Crisp has selected John T. Waterman, the Hawkinaville Dispatch editor, as his private secretary. He is having his son Charlie trained to as sume the duties of secretary within the house. . m. rr liarvcsu., j 9 reported, with I a iking, dersigned, before entering npon the ex- ginning anu -»<yketing far advanced, lamination satisfactory certificates of While the fibre ,- 8 at many points good moral character.

Dec. 10.—Clifton Dennis, a song evangelist from Chicago who has been holding revivals in New England, arrived unexpectedly at the residence of a relative. Later, with nothing on but a night garment, he walked to the residence of a neighbor, where he broke down the fence and the front door and made a great disturb ance. He was arrested with much dif ficulty aud is now under guard, a rav ing maniac. He talks on religions mat ters almost uucc-aaingly and is anxions to leave for Chicago. He will probably be committed to an insane asylum. ' Attempted Suicide of a Lyncher. Darlington, Wis., Dec. 10.—John E. Meaghan, one of the men under arrest for lynching Anton Siebold, tried to hang hhnself in his cell with a towel. He will probably die. Frank Meaghau has voluntarily surrendered. This leaves only Barney Meaghan cf those indicted and for whom warrants were issued, still at large. Bail in each case has been fixed at $3,000 and no effort has been made to release any of the prisoners. The Letter Came Too Late. Columbus, Dec. 11.—Mr. Fred Bas te rtlea, administrator of the estate of Land Bill Allen, who died recently at the county infirmary, received a regis tered letter, mailed at Elson, Kansas, on Nov. 23, and addressed to Allen. The letter proved to have been written by Rhodes Allen, a son of the dead phi lanthropist. In it the son complains that he has written a number of letters to his father without receiving an an swer, and earnestly entreats him to oome ont to Kansas and make his home with him. He offered to send a railway ticket or to come himself to take his father home if he would consent to go. The letter was received at the Colum bus post office prior to the old man’s death, but was not delivered to Super intendent Filler of the infirmary, be cause the law requires the person to whom a letter is addressed to call at the x in person and receipt for the same. This Mr. Allen was unable to do, and as a consequence died without hearing from his son. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castorla. When she was 2* Child, she cried for Castorla.

Haise and his bride came here from Salida and took rooms on Thirty-third street. Haise met an old friend named Harger, and the two determined to have a spree over the event. They remained down town until nearly midnight, wheo they started home, Haise greatly under the influence of liquor. Harger, being ad dicted to the use of morphine, and not wishing to take his friend to his wife in such a condition, suggested a hypo dermic injection of the poison, which was agreed to. Shortly after the drug was administered Haise was taken vio lently ill, aud died within an hour. Harger declares that he gave the mor phine upon the request of Haise and his wife, and that afterwards he gave him a dose of atrophine npon the advice of a physician. The physician present at the time of his death was unable to de termine whether death was the result of the morphine, atrophine or whisky. Convicted ot murder. Edwardsvilla, Ilia., Dec. 11.—The jury in the case against George Starkey and John Brown, for the murder of ex- Senator D. B. Gillham, returned' a ver dict, finding the defendants guilty as charged, and fixing their punishment at thirty years iu the penitentiary. The jury had been ont since noon of Satur day, the 5 th. and, it is stated, stood since Sfinday, eleven for inflicting the death penalty and one for acquittal. By good behavior the convicted men gain thirteen and three-quarter years, mak ing their sentences practically sixteen and one-quarter years. Starkey is 81 years old; Brown, 84. Will meat go up? Must the farmers who' don’t raise their own meat pay higher prices for it next year? These are questions of deep concern among the people of the country today, and they an looking for information on this line. The recent conditions of affairs in the old world have much tc do with decid ing the question. All the countries of the old world that refused to allow the American hog to be shipped into that country about t«n years ago are beginning one by one to mollify those laws aud American pork may now be sene into their ports. It this outlet is enlarged, the cnanc- es are that meat will become cheaper those countries but higher in price over here- There is now in Germany especially some hard restrictions being put on shipment of pork from America into that country. THE AMERICAN HOG IN GERMANY. A citizen of Atheus who has not been vety long from Germany, talking about the situation said, yesterday: It is only a short time since the American hog was admitted to Ger many, against a strong opposition of nfluential parties and already the signs are multiplying that its triumph may be short-lived. Reports are frequent that tiiohines have been found and the German officials have destroyed large quantities. The complaints have been universal, and Minister Boetticher de clared iu the Reichstag, that for the present he would let this country have the benefit of the doubt and assume that arrangements have not been com pleted yet for the sanitary inspection on this side, which was a condition of Germany’s raising the embargo. But, added the Minister, should we have further trouble, the Government will rescind the permis sion and again exclude American hog products. Ami now comes a cable from Berlin that enormous quantities of American bacon seized at Dus?oldorf on account of the U. S. inspector’s attest being ir- egular and insviffiicient, b' cause it said nothing about the bacon being whole some food; but only that it was from amimals “recently slaughtered.” It will not take much more to Bhut down Germany against our bog, for in matter of official negligence that coun try is very ticklish, and If she should conceive the idea that our Government inspectors are unreliable, then good bye American bog in Germany. REPUBLICANS TO BLAME. Hsrrison likes to boast that th estock- yards ar» indebted to l.im for opening up the European markets, but- to his administration w ill attach the blame if they are closed, again.
