so long the lads

And where, good mentis the harm if the
kissers and kissees be Wealthy, and true
love stands sponsor. It is* only when ill-
health has blasted the sweet cleanliness of
youth that death lurks upon its lips. The
deadly germs of dread consumption are as
harmless as June-time butterflies to the
young man or woman who is thoroughly
clean, sweet and healthy in every fiber and
tissue. The germs of disease only attack
tliit which is already partly decayed.
There is a great medicine that is a sure
and certain protection against all germs
and a speedy cure for all germ diseases.
It is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov
ery. It gives youthful zest to the appetite.
It corrects all faults of the digestion. It
aids assimilation. It fills the blood with
the vital, life-giving elements of the food.
It builds sweet, clean, healthy tissues in
every part of the body. It drives out all
disease germs. It cures 98 per cent, of all
cases of bronchial, throat and lung affec
tions if taken in time. All good medicine

IS PROGRESS!!

ALL TRESTLES REPAIRD,
L ocomotives Overhauled, and Everything
Pertaining to the Road Has Been Put In
Splendid Condition—Road Is

I
The Northeastern railroad is just now
enjoying great prosperity and a largely
in creased business. «
Its efficient management has so en
larged the business of the road and re-
duced its expenses that it has been pos
sible oat of its revenues to make quite a
number of improvements.
Daring the past few months the work
of repairing the trestles along the road
has been in progress and will be com
pleted at an early date. This work has
been of the very best character and
when it is finished no road iu Georgia
will have, safer or better trestles.. The
road bed is also kept in the very best
state of repair.
Recently the locomotives have been
thoroughly overhauled and repainted,
and the rolling stock put in splendid
condition. This cost several thousand
dollars, but it gave the Northeastern a
magnificent equipment.
Work is now progressing rapidly on
the additions that are being made to the
offices at the depot. It was fonnd that
the office room there was totally inade
qunte, and the work of providing addi
tional room was started.
The waiting rooms iu the northern
end of the depot building have been torn
away, and in their stead a two-story
structure is being erected. The lower
floor will be nsed for waiting rooms,
whioh will be neatly and comfortably
furnished. The upper floor will he used
for offices of the auditor, Mr. R. W.
Sizer.
This, will give more office room on the
ground floor for the local offices, by
transferring the general offices to the
second floor of the new addition to the
building.
Thus it seems that the state did not
do a bad piece of business at all when
■he swung on to th&Northeastern
The State Normal School started an
other year of its prosperous and nsefnl
existence yesterday morning.
At nine o’clock the teachers who had.
arrived and were ready to enter the
school assembled iu the large hall, and
the first roll call showed over one hun
dred and fifty piesent.
This in itself was a record breaker for
an opening attendance but daring the
day fully fifty more arrived and by
night the attendance had reached two
hundred. Still more teachers are
pected to arrive today and during the
remaining days of the week.
State School Commissioner, G. R
Glenn, who is president of the State
Normal School Commission, was present
at the opening yesterday and made a
brief but interesting address to the
teachers present.
President Bradwell made several an-
>
nouncements and in a few minutes the
school had fairly started on its year’s
work.
Commissioner Glenn, in speaking of
the work of the school yesterday, said
that with the money appropriated by
the legislature, the school coaid he run,
bat no improvements could be made.
He said that the problem of providing
proper sewerage at the Normal School
was daily growing more serious and
that it would have to be provided
some manner.
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and,
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. 'As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge if that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal .profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of tlie Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. I n ordcr to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

The members of the Ladies Garden
Club held a large and enthniastic meet
ing yesterday morning at lialf past ten
o’clock at the Y. M. C. A. rooms.
All the old officers declined to stand
for re-election and hence an entire
change in officers.
Mrs. John Gerdiue was clicsen presi
dent to succeed Mrs. E. K. Lumpkir,
who hud held the office for several years,
bnt who declined to serve any longer.
Mrs. Gerdine is a very active and tal
ented member of the clnb and will make
an admirable presiding officer.
Mrs. E K. Lumpkin was chosen vice
president in the place of Mrs. Lamar
Cobb, who declined to serve Mrs. Cobb
was the first president of the club and a
most active and successful worker in its
behalf.
In the place of Mrs. J. C. Bloomfield,
who is soon to move to Augusta, Mrs.
R. C. Orr was named as secretary.
There is no lady in Athens more de
voted to the culture of. flowers, fruits
and vegetables than Mrs. Orr.
Mrs. J. J. Strickland having resigned
as treasurer, Mrs. J. C. Henderson was
elected to that position.
The club now has a membership of
one hundred and fifty, and is doing a
good work. It may be that the club
will give a spring exhibition this year,
though this has not fully been decided
as yet.
The chief topic of discussion among
the clnb members at the meeting yester
day was the subject of horticulture. As
the State Horticultural Society meets
this year at Tallulah Falls, the Garden
Club will no doubt send a large delega
tion of its members to the session of
that body.

Dr. J. H. T. McPherson, of the Uni
versity of Georgia, delivered an inter
eating lecture last evening_at the Moore

His subject was “Natural Monopo
lies,” and his lecture was full of interest,
He spoke of the general , relation of the

The classes of monopolies were treated
under the heads of public and private
monopolies, artificial and natural mo
nopolies. Their general characteristics
were given.
Natural monopolies were then enn
merated and their characteristics given.
Arguments for.and against public-own
ership of these monopolies were given.
The lecturer talked of harbors, docks.
Waterways, canals, lighthouses, rail
ways, express companies, telegraph com
panies, postoflides. roads, bridges, fer
ries, waterworks, gas works, eleotric
lights, street cars, and telephones.
Br. McPherson’s lecture was one of
the most interesting and instructive ever
•delivered to the students.

SALUTED HIS BRIDE.
A Rare rtarriage Ceremony Performed Yester
day Afternoon.
Jndge James F. Foster sat in his office
yesterday afternoon, chatting pleasantly
With a few friends who happened to be
there for a few minntes.
The office door opened and in walked
a negro man about six feet high and
aatCed if the judge could marry him.
‘Yes,” replied the Judge. “Where is
your intended wife?”
‘She’s up the street a short distance,
jedge.”
’Well, bring her in and. I’ll marry yon
in short order,” said Jndge Forter.
The big negro disappeared and in a
few minntes came back accompanied by
a little black negro woman about four
feet high. The contrast in their sizes
was nniqne and striking.
The wedding ceremony was per
formed in great’ style and the happy
conple made man and jvife.
Then came the command of Jndge
Foster, “Salute yonr bride.”
The negnfman looked down, the ne
gro woman looked up; There was some
distance between4heir lips. The bride
groom Stooped gently over" and. planted
his lips npon the lips of his bride. There
was a rousing smack and then a parting
©t the lips. Ifwas “linked sweetness
long drawn ont.”
This completed the marriage ceremo
ny in a manner not exactly expected by
Jndge Foster when he commanded the
groom to salute. *
