Woman’s Mission.
Sueetssful competition in any field depends on physical health,
1 A It/FTT T A Tv questions about
.1 \ VI 81 I /» kr woman’s future
TA. JL\ are constantly
asked.
Shall women vote? Shall they practice law?
Shall they compete with men in every field?
Whatever woman's mission may finally be de
clared to be, it is certain that something
must be done for her physical health.
Ignorance, superstition and mystery sur
round woman's delicate organism. Heroic
efforts to endure pain is part of woman's
creed. Many wometfff lives are a constant
struggle with lassitude; many are violently
ill without apparent cause, and few indeed
are in normal health.
This is all wrong and might be different
if women .would follow Dr. Hartman’s ad
vice. Perhaps the most practical printed
talk to women to be found anywhere is in
Dr. Hartman's book called “ Health and
Beauty,” which the Pe-ru-na Medicine Co.,
Columbus, O., will mail free to women
only. It is certain that Dr. Hartman’s
Pe-ru-na has proved a perfect boon for
women's diseases of the pelvic organs. It
treats them scientifically and cures them
•permanently. All druggists sell it.
“I received your book and commenced
the use of your medicine at once,” writes
Mrs. H. D. Amoss of Greensboro, Ga., to
. . Dr. Hartman. “ 1 took five bottles of
Pe-ru-na and two of Man-a-lin. I feel like a new woman. When I commenced
taking Pe-ru-na I could hardly walk across my room; now I am doing my own
work and can walk to church. I shall never cease tothank you for prescrib-
ing for me. I bad been under the treatment of two doctors but never received
any benefit until I commenced taking your medicine. I wish every woman
who was suffering as I was would send for one of your books. May God bless
you and spare you many years to relieve women who are suffering as I was.”
Fifty thousand women will be counselled and prescribed for this year free of
lhargo by Dr. Hartman, president of the Surgical Hotel, Columbus, O. All
ivomen suffering from any disease of the mucous membrane, or any of the
peculiar ills of women, may write to him and the letters will receive his
personal attention, fe Write for special question blank for women.

As in the Case oi Private Nathaniel Adams—
He Says His Son, Who is in Capt.
Beusse’s Company Has Organic
Heart Trouble.
The Banner received yesterday the
following communication from Htu.ts-
ville, Ala., which it gladly publishes:
Huntsville, Ala., Sept. 14th, 1898.
Editor Athens Banner:—Reports have
reached this camp that we have abased
and said hard things about Captain J.
H. Beusse, while we were in Athens.
We beg you to give this notice a
prominent place in your paper.
Now, we want to say -in justice to
Capt. Beusse, that while Capt. Beusse is
strict, it is from a sense of duty which
he owes to his superior officers.
Captain Beusse has been as kind to ns
as he ^as to any members of his com
pany and we want to say that the re
ports'circulated in Athens are lies. We
consider Capt. Beusse as good a friend
as we have, and we do this in justice to
Capt. Beusse. Respectfully,
JOHN CHILDERS,
LAMAR L. DOTTERY,
Privates Co. G., 2nd Ga. Yol. Inf.
In all of their talks with The Banner
representative while in Athens, Privates
Dottery and Childers spoke in the very
highest terms of Capt. Bensse, both as
an officer and a man, and their remarks
were given in The Banner as they made
them. It is bard to see how such a re
Mr. J. L. G. Andrews, of this city, is
very worried over the condition of his
sou who is a private in Capt. Beusse’s
company, now at Hnutsville, Ala.
Mr. Andrews received a few days since
a letter from his son, in which it was
stated that ho was to be removed the
next day to the hospital, where a surgi
cal operation would be performed upon
him for rectal troubles.
This was the case with Private Na
thaniel Adams, who died at Tampa,
Fla., from the effect of chloroform ad
ministered during an operation similiar
tot he one to be performed upon Private
Adams.
Mr. Andrews has written Captain
Bensse, begging him to do his best to
keep the surgern from performing this
operation, as he fears fatals results.
He says that his son has been thns af
flicted from infancy and that he also has
organic heart trouble, which would ren
der it dangerous to administer an an
aesthetic to him in order to perform a
surgical operation.
Mr. Andrews is satisfied that Capt.
Bensse will do his best to prevent the
surgical operation if he gets his letter in
time. He says that in his opinion it -is
not necessary jnst now to have this

Judge Foster tried four negro men
and a negro woman for gambling ancl
bound them over to the city court.
Jndge Cobb immediately took a hand
and three of the negroes were tried and
convicted and the other two plead
guilty. Jndge Cobb also tried the five
negroes that Mayor Pro Tern Foster
bound over to the city court the other
day for gambling, and a conviction was
secured in each case, making ten negro
gamblers tnat Jndge Cobb passed sen

Yesterday John Reynolds and Henry
Pope were fined $3.00 and cost each or
eight months in the chaingang. Hill
Biggers plead guilty and was fined $5.00
and cost or six months in the chaingang.
Bill Taylor also plead guilty and was
fined $1.00 and cost, which he paid.
Matt Jones, a negro woman, was
fonnd gnilty but the sentance was
suspended on her promise to lead a bet
ter life.
"This bunch of ebony Ethiopians were
mixed up in the skin game raided by
the police in East Athens the other day,
and all of jthem testified against the five
negroes who were bound over by Jndge
Foster. To get square the convicted ne
groes trnned the tables and swore ont
warrants against them, and testified
that they too, as well as themselves, had
been in the game, but had been forced
to retire on account of financial embar
rassment while the game>’as yet young.

Anthony Martin, Clark Partee, Tom
Fields, Neal Upshaw and Essie Martin,
the five negroes bound over the other

gang. While the police get credit for
only five convictions, their work resulted
in seeming the conviction of the entire
