handling a large bunch of bananas,
just opened, be plaoed his hand within
few inches of an ugly looking tarant

endeavored to mike its escape. Captain
Wilson placed a large glass jar near by,
and impaling the ugly “varmint," on a
forked stick, soon had it safely placed
within tbe Jar. A small tarantula was
on the back of the larger ' one. Mr.

DROPPED FROM THE ROLL,
A Church Member Who Wrote UP Hie

Augusta, Ga., April 19 —A very
sensational trial took place at Bsrein
Baptist church last night. In a recent
issue of the wool hat populist paper,
there appeared an article which se
verely criticised the eburoh in general

article in question was written by Mr.

tbe author of it on trial. This tri*l
took place last night and it was very
stormv. When it was deoided that all

leave the oburcb, a young man named
Cartledge, connected with the paper in
question, refused to go, and it became
necessary to call in a policeman to elect

A TARANTULA
TO GET UP
A BIG C01IPAH
To Operate a Factory in the
Heart of the City—The
Swift Building to Be
Used.
A factory in the very heart of tbe
city.
'1 hat is a movement'that will be start
ed in all probability soon.
And it carries with it a good deal of
weight and importance.
The reporter in talking with a gen
tleman a few days since learned that
the movement in this direction had
been very favorably discussed, and
that with a little concert of action it
materialize to" the great benefit of the
oity.
This gentleman said: “I have been
thinking for a long time that the Swift
building, now owned by Mr. Geo. T.
Hodgson, would sfl >rd a splendid place
for a factor. It was t uilt in prosperonB
times, but tbe panic has caused it to be
left practically unoccupied ever since
its completion.
“Now it is no use for such a valuable
and convenient piece of property to be
left nnused. It is perfectly fitted up
for a factory building, and as snoh
we uld yield a nice income.
“I have talked over this matter with
several of the monied men ot this oity,
and believe that with a little concert of
action a big company can be oiganized
to equip and ran a cotton factory at
that place.
“These gentlemen spoke very favora
bly of the plan and, promised to consid
er it lor what it was worth. I am sat
Isfied something of great benefit to
A thens will ocme ont of the agitation
of this inbjict,
“Mr. Bloomfield’s proposition to take
a plant as a knitting mill bought by a
body of men and held in their names
and lease it for a number of years, guar
anteeing an income of 6 per cent, free
of taxes, is enough to convince one that
there is a good income from snoh in*
vestments, as he is a gentlemen of wide
experience io such matters.
“And not only that, there are out
side parties who would gladly put their
money in a factory at this place,
knowing onr splendid facilities for
such an enterprise. I believe firmly
that at no late date each an enterprise
a ill be started in this city.”
REPORTS AGREED TO.
ON TO TEE CONVENTION.
A DESERVED COMPLIMENT*
And an Excellent Recommendation.
The grand jury in their presentments
made a very graceful allusion to the
superb work of Judge Howell Cobb, as
i-’ge of the city court of Clarke coun
ty, and paid him a merited compliment
for his labors.
The recommendation that the next
representative from Clarke county in
troduce a bill in the general assembly
creasing the pay of Ju ’gs Cobb to
fifteen hundred dollars per annum wilt
be endorsed by all the people, as Judg
Cobb eminently deserves that amount
in payment lor bis volu&ble services.
TO BE REMEMBERED.
Athens Him No Spectno Tax on Busi
ness.
It is not amiss to impress the outside
public and all who are interested in in
vestments, that Athens is the only oity
in Qeorgia that does not impose a tax
specifically on business or mshnfaotur-
ing enterprises.
This is a showing snoh as should in

(From The Oswego N Y Pal’adinm.)
No citizen of this village is better knowi
or more highly n-sDecUd than Theodore J.
Wheeler, who has liyedlbere for*nearly h«lf
a cec tury. Five years ago he was stricken
with puralys-s and was in its worst form.
The physician* said that he would surely
die But Mr. Wheeler did not die and it
is to tell the.rtadera of the Palladium
about h ; s almost miraculous recovery that
a reporter called upon. him.
Despite his sixty- five years of age, and
the intense mental and bodily' afflictions,
he has been obliged to endnrr for nearly
five y. are, Mr. Wheeler is still a fine look
ing man. He answered the reporter’s ring
at the door bell in perron, and invited him
into his sitting room, where he told tbe
following story: :
* It was on the morning of Nov 27,1888,
that I was stricken down. I attempted to
get up in the morning aa usual, when I
round that I could not use my - limbs or
feet. At first I thought they, were asleep
and rubbed them briskly with my hands
for several minutes, but without result.
Fu ally I got back into bed and sent for
Dr. M. Bennett of this village. He inform
ed me that 1 had snfiered - what is com
monly called a stroke ot paralysis.’ I
could not believe it. at firet, bnt the
numbness continued to spread, accom
panied by a prickling • sensation, until tbe
entire lower half of my body, as well as
my legs, was t-fftcted. My bowels an l
kidneys refused to perform their functions,
and lwas only. relieved by mechanical
process. I was not aSthfled with
Dr Bennett’s diagnosis, and sent
for Dr.'Low, of Pulaski. He only
confirmed Dr. Bennett’s, statement and
advised me to get ready 'todie. For six
months I lay in bed at the home of my
dm ce, Mrs G A. Penfield, unable to turn
over in bed, hardly, and requiting constant
attention and care Finally I grew used to
my helplessness and would crawl ont of
bed, and getting partially dressed would
drag my body about tbe house; using my
hands like an infant when creeping, but
unable to help myself in the least with my
lower limbs. There was not the slightest
feeling in the lower part of my body and.a'
needle thrust into my afflicted parts would
not produce tbe sligntesi pain. Tnis went
on until eight months ago. One day I read
in the Palladium of a Canadian gentleman
who suffered from paralysis and who had
found relief in Dr Williams’ Pink Pills. In
the symptoms deschbed by the sufferer I
read an almost exaot counterpart of my
owd afflictions, and t determined to give
the medicine a trial. Before I could hardly
hope for results 1 Deg an to feel a marked
imorovement in my condition. First my
kid eye and then my bowels began again,
alter a lapse of over four years, to perform
their natural functions. The numbness left
my body and the sense oi feeling returned.
This continued until the numbness had
left my limbs entirely. Now I can go up
to the village with one cane and lathe
house I go around without any. It Is with
i be greatest pleasure that I recommend Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills tothepnblic I know
what they have done for me and I believe
they wi>l help others similarly afflicted.”
Dr Williams’Pink Pills are prepared
by the Dr. Williamq’ Medicine Gompttnv of
Schenectady, N. Y , and Brcckvilie, Ont
They contain in a condensed form, all tbe
elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered

tired feeling resulting from nervous pros
