Col. R. I.. Armstrong, projector of the
Armstrong hotel of Rome, is still in a
very critical condition with small hopes
of recovery. From a robust man weigh
ing upward of 200 pounds he has been
reduced to a skeleton and would weigh
less than 100 now.
The Grand Army of ttie Republic build

Mr. David Michael one of Athens’
prominent citizens has passed away.
He was in his 72nd year, and for nearly
thirty-five years had been a resident of
Athens. He leaves a wife and threo

Myer Stern.
Mrs. Sarah Walters died recently, at
her home four miles from Amerlcus,
from injuries received in n fall from the
veranda. She ha1 lived more than
eighty-three years. More than lifty
years of her life were spent, in this
country. She was the mother of sixteen
children. T. G., 8. A., d. W., Thomas
and (Joseph Walters, all well known
citizens of this county, are her sons
She leaves also several daughters, be

Four mortgages have been Hied for
record by the M. M. Mauck Company
of Atlanta, for $11,226 02 on the stock
of goods, fixtures and horso and wagon.
Mr. Mays, tho president of ttie company,
says that these mortgages cover the
entire indebtedness and wpro given to
satisfy the creditors, so that the appli
cation for receiver could be dismissed.
Mr. Mays and J. B. Stewart own all the
stick of the company, and they say
they will soon reorganize it. and do bus
iness on a cash basis.
Brunswick shipping masters are com
plaining about ohs’ructions in the river
and bay which make steamboat naviga
tion costly. Tne obstructions are heads
of piling and plank which builders of
wharves along the waterway throw into
the stream. Complaint has been made
by Capt. Winn of the Hope Catlin, who
states that so much damage has been
done his side wheels by these obstruc
tions that it has been necessary to al
most rebuild tho wheels twice. In the
daytime they can be avoided, but at
night, masters of vessels cannot see
them.
In the case of Tom Edwards of Sum
ner for a villainous crime, the jury re
turned a verdict of not guilty. The trial
consumed two days. Attorneys Ferry
and Forehand of this place and Judge
Guerry of Dawson appeared for the de
fense. Judge Pope and.Solicitor Warten
of Albany appeared for the plaintiff. The
court house and yard were tilled with at
tentive hearers, most of whom remained
until a verdict was reached, about 10
o’clock last night, when Edwards, with
his relatives and friends, returned to his
home at Sumner. Edwards showed no
excitement, as he soys justice was all he
wanted, and he felt sure that he was be
ing tried before and intelligent jury that
would give him justice.
Some time ago the stockholders of the
Chattahoochee Bank of Columbus, now
defunct, were assessed 01 per cent of the
par valne of their holdings, the object
being to cancel all indebtedness of the
institution not paid off by money raised
from other sources. All of this assess
ment was not asked for immediately, but
the first payment, which is 11 percent,
has been due several weeks. About
half of the stockholders have paid this
first assessment of 21, per cent. The
other half have failed to respond to the
call, pleading inability to do so. An
other payment on the assessment is due
in August. The bank was capitalized
at $100,000.
A most horrible tragedy has been
brought to light in Madison county.
David Berrimau, a prominent farmer
and of considerable means, is the accused
murderer. Berriman had a wife and
four children, but drink led to his ruin.
Last year he was separated from his wife
and they lived apart for several months.
Last Christmus, however, they agreed
to live together again and all appeared
o be going along smoothly until yester
day. Berriman went to his home and
with pistol in hand made his hense
scene of blood. He shojt his wife, then
shot each of his four childreu, and, after
he had completed his deadly work, turned
the pistol on himself and put a bullet
through his brain. Every bullet went
to its mark, and six dead bodies meas
ured their length upon the floor of that
country home. No immediate cause for
the terrible deed is assigned. It is
thought, however, that it was due to in-
sauity caused by the excessive use of
liquor.
The record for quick dispatch in load
ing vessels with railroad crosstios line
been broken at Savannah. The schooner
Arthur McArdlo arrivod here one day
about noon, consigned to Dixon, Mitchell
& Wells. T.oading was at once begun,
and at noou Wednesday, or just forty-
eight hours from the time she commenc
ed loading, the vessel .was cleared for
New York with 18,346 tics, measuring
066,500 superficial feet. Capt. Megee
was a proud man as his vessel was be
ing towed to sea. Just before sailing he
remarked that his long, tedious trip
down the coast, which took twenty-
three days, was n black-eye to his fust
sailing vessel, but tho unusual dispatch
he had received and with the
wind still from the south, he expected to
be back in New York before some of the
large fleet of vessels,now beating around
Hatteras, arrivod in Savannah.
In reference to the shooting of (!. L.
Harris at Dale’s mills, he says ho was
on friendly terms with hiB nephew, and
was only passing tho place of John Har
ris, and asked him to go with him to his
buggy. He had some nice cider and
wanted him to drink somo with him. In
fact, about two weeks ago, the house
keeper of 8. G. Harris went over to John
Harris, and, as he didn’t care to have
her at his place, asked her to leave his
premises, and C. L. Harris asked John
why he ran her off. Was he mad with
him” Porhaps some one had given him
some incorrect nows concerning him (('.
L. Harris) '/ At this John said if it was
trouble he was after he would give him
all he wanted, and began shooting him.
The first ball passed through his left
arm, entering his chest near his heart.
He (C L. Harris) fell to the ground and
beggod John not to shoot him any more,
that he was already killed, but John
Harris fired three more shots, all taking
eflect, and from tho way tho balls ranged
shows that he was down and John Har
ris was shooting at his bead. The state
ment that C. L. Harris shot at him
twice before John shot in untrue. Sev
eral parties soarched C. L. Harris’ per
son and all round where he was shot,
and found no pistol. C. L. Harris gave
his dying statement, under oath, that he
had no pistol, a^ul had not carried one a

Dr. A, A. Morrison, a leading physi
cian of the Sayannah hospital, is one of
the applicants for a position as city
physician, there being at present two of
these positions to be filled by council at
its next meeting. After completing his
literary education Dr. Morrison was in
the drug business for some years in
Charleston, 8. C. Ho then entered the
South Carolina Medical College, and
after three years of hard study, grad
uated with honors, in March, 1894. In
April of the same year he was appointed
house physician at the .Savannah hospi
tal, which position he still holds. Since
leaving college he has visited all of the
important hospitals in the north and in
Canada. In leaving tho Savannah Iiob-
pital he feels that he is giving up a
valuable position, but considers it in
the line of promotion. It is his dosire
to get out into private practice.
James M. Smith of Smithsonia, who
is the most extensive farmer in the
state, has one of the largest of the state
convicts and works camp No. 3 on his
farm. He claims to be losing money on
them, estimating the expense per an
num for each convict at $175 a year.
He does not want to renew his lease, and
thinks that the other lessees will be of
the same mind, and the state will have
to adopt some new system for its pen
itentiary. They will in the future, he
says, cost Georgia $150,000 a year, and
this item of expense, he thinks, will
surpise the people. Harry Hill, sent up
for forgery, Is at work for him, and Mr.
Smith says he makes a model prisoner.
Hill is learning to be a fine woodwork-
man and blacksmith and when he gets
out of the pen will be master of a useful
and well paid trade. He was transferred
from Gress camp at Bramer to Mr.
Smith’s farm, and has worked so faith
fully and behaved so well that Mr.
Smith thinks be deserves a pardon. His
sentence will be out in eighteen months.

From Kitchen to Parlor.
It is an easy matter to keep our surround
ings clean when we havo plenty of water at
our command but in many cases we fail to
give the poorer classes of people any credit
whatever for their attempts toward cleauli-
nesa. As long as our lank is full of water
and we can step to the corner of ttie porch
or to ttie sink in the kitchen and draw pail
after pail of water we take It as a thankless
ottering anil proceed withourwork of scour
ing and cleaning without nr.y further un
easiness.
»**
On the other hand—if wo step to tiie fau
cet. (urn it—and a sizzling noise greets us,
involuntarily n grunt of utter dissatiBfnelion
is ejected and we pick up our pail and trot
offto the well, thinking perhaps, for the
first time, ot our poor, unfortunate neigh
bor who tins to carry all her water.
• •
It is very often a lack of such conven
iences as a tank, amt pipes leading to the
house to carry our water to us, that bring
about a certain amount, of indolence among
women. So long as water is at close range
it is on easy matter to appropriate it but
loud are the praises for the woman who
under trying circumstances faces the Inevit
able and keeps tier premises in perfect order
without a tank and its accessories. She it
is who rises tip ami blesses those ahout her.

In our state wtiere water can he had with
little trouble it seems that the owners of
houses should make it a point to attend to
such conveniences for the home maker. It
will add greatly to the inmates of (lie home.
Do not neglect haying a bathroom when
you are making these additions to the
home. They are lasting benefits.

“What ia the remedy for discontented

Do not keep groceries in the naper hags in
which they arc sent from (lie store. Have
a neat wooden box or Jar for each article,
witli a strong cover. Much strength will he
lost if groceries are kept carelessly, besides
making very untidy shelves when the bags
break and tear, causing the contents to spill
and waste.

Rub them as much in shape as possible.—

Home Making,
Considerable thought is being brought to
bear on Hits ttie most important feature In
the life of two persons who take upon them
selves the undertaking of homemaking, as
man and wife. Do we not see wrecks, daily,
of fruitless attempts? Surely it is nn op
portune moment to devote some careful
thought to this subject. Good Housekeep
ing says:
To ttie true man or womun there can he
nothing more agreeable on earth than the.
business of home-making. Whoever makes
a home In the best sense of the word , is a
real benefactor to the race; for every true
home is the abode of joy, peace, happiness
ami security to those that share in it, and
exerts an influence that is incalculable
for the amelioration of the whole human
family. Many a prodigal bps been lyd
by the thought of home, and the makers
of his own particular home, «p»nt
of bis sins and to change his course of
life; and many an unfortunate one has
been saved in the evil hour from suicide, or
worse, by the tender recollections of home,
a fond mother’s prayers, an Indulgent
tattler’s counsels, or a sister’s or a brother’s
tenderness.
Yes, whoever helps to make a true home
confers a benefit on mankind tnat no man
can fully estimate. Indeed, the influence
of the true home for good is absolutely in
calculable, and reaches many even ttiat
never enter its inner circle. Simply to get a
glimpse of it is to receive an impulse toward
better things, to obtain a more exalted view
of life, and to feel an access of faitti in God
and the immortality of the human soul.
It is like a vision of the glories of the New
Jerusalem and the everlasting habitations,
and no one can be'"Wholly had who lias
seen such things.
In most cases a man or Woman is what
his or her home influences have made him
or her, and the homeless child Is always at a
disadvantage as compared with one wtio
has a good home. We too often are blind to
this fact in our lives. The homeless child is
indeed to be pitied, being deprived of so
much of life's sweetness and brightness, and
knowing nothing by actual experience of a
mother’s gentle sympathy and a fatliei’s
loving care, or ot the innocent pleasures
which kind parents know how to provide
tn the homo circle, and which, far beyond
anything elsr, make childhood the happiest
period of life. Ttie individual who starts
out in life Irom a well-ordered home is quite
sure to prove a useful member of society,
for pleasant home associations inspire that
confidence in a person which insures hint
success in any honorable undertaking.
There are many ihlnga to he considered
In genuine home-making, lint the great
essential, Hint without which everything
else amounts to nothing, is unselfish allec-
tlou in the home-makers. Selfishness and
unklndness are the chief home-destroyers,
and must lie sleeplessly guarded against by
those who wisli to make and keep happy
homes; for where either holds sway, true
home life is an Impossibility. Rove and
kindness constitute the tie that joins the
members of tho home circle in a joyous ami
harmonious union of souls, and these all
true home-makers will diligently cultivate.
It is warm-heartedness, first, last and all tlie
time, that the successful home-maker needs.
Among ttie material requisites to home-
making lire an attractive ahidiDg place and
proper environment, which latter must
include good air and light. Of course, there
are many minor points of dillerence between
a city home and a country home, while in
all the more important particulars all true
homes are alike. City homes, as a rule, do
notMn c tier as good opportunities as those
the country for exterior or lawn decoration.
That, however, is ot no consequence, as the
rule applies to all homes , regardless of loca
tion, that they should he made as beautiful
ns circumstances will permit, after all reas
onable considerations of light and air tiave
been met. A beautiful home is a never-
failing source of satisfaction both to the
indwellcr and the wayfarer that may pnss
by.
People of means and good taste may
make their homes perfect dreams of beauty,
but they cannot well make them too beauti
ful , as long ns Hie comfort and happiness of
the inmates are’ sought and promoted.
Surely money cannot he expended to better
purpose than in making and adorning a
home (or one’s self nnd loved ones and fur
nishing it witli all that is best calculated to
foster in the inhabitants thereof u love of
home, as well ns a love of the true, the
beautiful and the good; and even poor
people will best, secure their own happiness
by toiling and saving to ocqnire and embel
lish .homes for themselves. There is a
pleasure connected with home-making that
is rare, rapturous and absorbing, and love of
IiooRiIh as noble nnd ennobling a feeling as
oafftsUr Hie human soul. We look lor good
I nit;pi In a person in whom an ardent love
of home has been developed, and hope for
little from one who speaks Indifferently or
slight ingly of his home. We do well for our
children when we mako happy homes for
them, which they wilt naturally learn to
love.
But, after all is said about rare tressures
ot art and nature that may lend attraction
to a home and its surroundings, it remains
that Hie fairest home ornaments are bright,
joyous faces; amt where these are wanting,
all else goes for little. Bright and joyous
faces always accompany warm and loving
hearts, which all true home-makers must
possess. Hence all who intend making
homes should look carefully into their own
hearts; for only when these are right can
they expect their home-making to prove
satisfactory. Warm hearts make bright
and cheerful hearths, but the warmest
hearth cannot tha v the icy heart. Love ia
the great home maker, that makes even the
drudgery of housekeeping a pleasure, nnd
home life a foretaste of 1 lie bliss of heaven.
One cannot get too much love into one's
home-making hut easily too little.

Picture Drapes,
For those who asked for Inexpensive
fancy-work, I will describe some very pretty
picture scarfs or drapes, as they are some
times called. The materials req fired are
three ynrdsof Hirer-inch ribbon (satin rib
bon was used for the one in question but
cheaper libhon may tie used) ana Clark’s
crochet cotton, shaded from the color of the
ribbon to white.
The cotton was crocheted in kuotstit li,
making strips tree inches wide and ihfrty-
two inches long. These strips are sewed
alternately wiHi ihe ribon which linrl pre
vionsty been cm in three pieces and a two-
inch fringe rav.-iel at eacli end. A fringe
of til? cotton was tied into the ends of the
crochet strips. A ring two inchc-s in diam
eter was covered with crochet stitches of
Vo tori a crochet silk matching the color of
the ribbon. A row of shells was crocheted
iir mid ■ ‘m ring making It much prettier
than I lie pluin crochet rings so long used;
The ring was slipped over one end of the
scarf to the midd'e where it held the tall
ness in place.
Blue ritbon with blue amt white crochet
cotton and a bine crochet ring makes a
pretty scarf, also orange and white or pink
and white.
Clark's shaded crochet cotton comes in
sucli a VJriety ot colors and combinations
that there is practically no end to the pretty
things that may be made with it. The
numbers are .10 amt 50 and the cost is only
five cents for a ball of t’00 yards.
I! the pocketbook will allow a much
richer scarf may be made by using white
Victoria crochet silk for the crochet stripes.
The knot stitch is very pretty in silk and
holds its shape well. Combine with pea
green satin rlbin fringed at the ends and
decorated with sprays of lily of Ihe valley
near each end of the slrips. Embroider ihe
sprays witli Asiatic fllo. Make Hie crochet
ring witli pea green Victoria siik.
Other combinatloi s witli suitable designs
are iqually pretty. R. E. Mzkryma.n.

"Residents in Trinidad are well ac

Is very keen, and has often been the
Bub jeot of discussion and sometimes of
dispute between naturalists. “Gosse"
who wrote on the Natural History of
Jamaloa many years ago, records some
interesting faots in relation to this mat
ter, showing that the sense of smell as
well as of sight can be employed at will.
My objeot In writing Is to put on record
a circumstance which occurred reoently
in the Royal Botanic Gardens, in which
it was dear that the sense of smell only
was employed. In a part of the Gardena
a plant of Aristolochia gigas var. Stur-
tevantii was in flower. This plant on
opening, gives off an offensive odor
resembling that arising from oarrion.
During the morning hours this is more
than usually pronounced, and vultures
thatdeteot it, at once alight on trees

to those they use when in sight of prey.
The birds are however disappointed of

failing to Bupply them with a suitable

Are Health Resorts Dangerous?
The Journal of Hygiene, in a recent num
ber, says: “Forty years ago, Mentone was
a happy village in France, where lived
peasantry happv In tlielr supurb physical
state, conditioned by the climate. It was
discovered that the region was a most heal
ing one for consumptives, and it became
the Mecca for the unfortunates of Europe so
stricken. The inhabitants abandoned their
farms to wait on the stringing. The
strong healthy women forsook their dairies
and became the washerwomen of the con
sumptives’ clothes. No precautions were
taken ; the disease was not then understood
as now, the theory of tubercle bacillus not
having been discovered. The place today
ia hacllluc-ridileu ,a pest hole, death itself.
The hitherto Btrong inhabitants are ema
ciated, a coughing, bleeding people, filled
with the germeof consumption. The sett
and air are both contaminated with the
tubercle bacilli. Ills no longer a health re
sort.”
The same fate, it is believed, awaits many
other similar localities unless active meas
ures are taken to destroy all germs. This
will be a most difficult task, because con
sumptives, as a rule, are not thoughtful of
the danger they spread, or of the rights of
others. They should bear in mind that if
all the others iiad been careful, they, too,
might have escaped—Scientific American.
Gear of a Wheel.
One important feature of a bicycle is
not understood by many riders. The
“gear” of a machine makes a great dif
ference in questions of speed and ease
of propulsion. The higher the gear the
further you travel with each revolution
of the pedal, and the greater is Ihe mus
cular force requ ; red to drive the pedal
around. Beginners, especially women,
should use a low gear. The terms now
used to express the gear of a bicycle are
an inheritance from the time of the old-
lushioned high wheel—now sometimes
called the “ordinary,” although in fact
its rare appearance in public places now
adays makes it something extraordinary
—when the size of the wheel depended
on the length of the rider’s legs. In
those times a 54- inch wheel was a com
mon thing—that ia, a wheel 54 inches in
diameter. When the safeties came into
use, they were geared by the wheels 07er
which the chain runs so as to corres
pond with the old idea of the diameter
of a large wheel. Thus a gear of 70 is
the same as to the distance covered by
each revolution of the pedals as if a
wheel 70 inches in diameter was ridden
—something that would be possible only
for a giant. A bicycle with this gear
advances somewhat over three times 70
inches at each revolution ot the pedals,
or about 19 feet. The gear of a wheel is
determined by the number of teeth on
the large and small sprocket-wheels. To
ascertain what the gear is, divide the
number of teeth on the large wheel by
tl,e number on the small one, and multi
ply by the number of inches in the di
ameter of the rear wheel. Thus, on a
28-inch wheel, if there are twenty teeth
on the front sprocket and 8 on the rear
one, the gear will be 70.
