I had frequent hemorrhages and coughed night and day. All my doctors says I must soon die. Then I began to use Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, which completely cured me. I would not be without it even if it cost $5.00 a bottle. Hundreds have used it on my recommendation and all say it never fails to cure Throat, Chest and Lung troubles. Regular size 50c and SI.OO.

A Cartersville landlord got tired of a disreputable negro tenant, and being away from home much of the time, relied upon sending him the information that he des ired him to vacate the premises. The negro paid little attention to this and when cal'ed upon Mon day morning by the landlord him self, he gave much impudence. The landlord happened to have his gun, and a shot at the negro, narrowly missing him, did better work than an officer. The house is now vacant and desires an or derly decent colored tenant. NOTICE.

The supreme court recently decided that it is the legal duty of the ordinary of a county to publish his legal advertisements in the pa per within the couuty which is used for such purpose by the county sheriff. The case, upon which the decision was based was that of Theo. S. Coffee and Tipton Coffee, owners and proprietors of The DeKalb Standard, against W. M Ragsdale, ordinary of DeKalb county. In 1900 the sheriff of that county changed his legal advertising medium, selecting The Dekalb Standard instead of The New Era. The ordi nary of Dekalb was requested, i 1 accordance with law, to publish his advertisements is the same paper. The request was met with a fiat refusal on the part of Ordinary Ragsdale, and mandamus proceedings were instituted to compel him to comply. The superior court of De- Kalb sustained a demurrer to the mandamus proceedings and dismis sed them. In reversing the ruling of the lower court, the supreme court says the question is a vexed one and has given the court no little trouble, on account of the fact that the sections of the code applicable seem too ind finite “But,” says the court, after a “careful examination of all the sections relating to this matter, we have concluded that when ever the sheriff has selected a newspaper in which to publish his legal advertisements, such paper becomes the legal medium of the adver tisements of the county, and is the official organ in which should be published the legal advertisements of all the officers of the coun ty.” (Administrators, Guardians, Executors, Clerks who publish peti tions for charters, take heed, do not involve innocent people.—Ei>.) In this case the New Era refused to publish the notice of change given by the sheriff. The supreme court holds that publication of such notice in an Atlanta paper, in a neighboring connty, under such circumstances, was sufficient, and the code showing that in addition to that it therefore became incumbent on all the other county officers to give similar notice of such change in the medium of their advertis ing. The supreme court, in the opinion rendered by Chief Justice Sim mons, then goes into an analysis of the sections of the code showing that in addition to many specified forms of legal advertisements of the ordinary are specifically required by law to be published in the paper so used bv the county sheriff. In holding that the legal adver tisements of the ordinary must be published in the same paper with those of the sheriff, the court says: “If the law were otherwise, then in counties such as Fulton which have a large number of newspapers, and, indeed, in any county having more than one, people interested in county matters would be put to considerable trouble and expense. They could not know in what paper to look for county advertisements, and would be compell ed, in order to avoid missing some of these advertisements, to sub scribe for all of the papers in which k-gal advertisements might be published, and to examine all of these papers for such advertise m. nts.” The opinion concludes that the legislature clearly intended that all county avertisements should appear in the paper used by the sheriff, and the action of the lower court in refusing to grant the mandamus asked for is reversed. CAPT. J. D. THOMAS. He Dies Sunday Moaning After a Long Illness. Capt. John Dallas Thomas, whose illness was well known, breathed his last at his home last Sunday morning at 3:30 o’clock. The deceased was a native of Dandridge, East Tennessee, and was 76 years of age at the time of his death. He practiced law at the place of his nativity until the open ing of the war between the states, and entered Confederate army from that state. He was made a captain and served the confeder acy in that capacity until the end. After the war, he went into bus iness and met with marked success with Fain & Parrott, of Atlanta, until 1868, when he came to Bar tow couniv, where he has since resided. Soon after making his home he went into the iron busi ness, operating the upper Stamp Creek furnace, owning a half in terest in the property. He has been in merchandise in Carters ville twice, retiring only a few months ago. He was married twice, his first wife being Misg Mary W., daugh ter of the late Dr. John W. Lewis, one son, Mr. Dallas Thomas, be ing the result of the union. His second wife was Miss Uliah Atta way, daughter of the late Mr. W. S. Attawav, who survives him. The funeral services here were conducted most impressively by Rev. A. W. Bealer, after which the remains were carried to Can ton, where there were laid to their last resting place yesterday. Captain Thomas was a notable character, quiet and unobstructive, yet always ready with his deep thought to entertain. He was well posted in the affairs of this and other countries, and watched with the keenest avidity any and all de velopments in matters political. He was a true man. a genuine Christian, and all will miss his kindly face, genial company and gentle spirit and the bereaved wife and only son will receive the gen uine sympathy of all.

The entertainment given by the Schubert club at the opera house on Monday deserved a larger house than greeted it. The people who were there proved a very enthusi astic appreciative audience, though for all the applause they got no response in the way of encores. The program was a fairly good one, though not adhered to. Mr. Lidy, the violinist, substituting Raff’s Cavitina instead of the num ber down; the quartette also chang ed one of their nnmbers. Some people regard this as being a little unfair to the audience, but there may have been reasons making it necessary. 1 he soloists, soprano, contralto, were very good, the latter having a specially good voice, she gave Bartlett’s “A Dream” and seemed to please all the audience. Her enunciation was perfect and hear ing the words added much to the pleasure of hearing her, though her voice was very smooth and sweet. The violinist played beau tifully, with delicacy of feeling and fine execution—indeed it is not often that so good a violinist comes to a town of this size and it is a pity that all the musical people did not hear him. The quartette were tolerable — the singing good, showing careful training; of the imperson ator nothing need be said as he was just about as poor as one could find. If they come next year, it is to be hoped that the affair will be well advertised so a better crowd will be out as the show is well worth hearing. HE FOOLED THE SURGEONS All doctors told Renick Hamil ton, of West Jefferson, 0., after suffering 18 months from Rectal Fistula, he would die unless a costly operation was performed, but he cured himself with five boxes of Buckien’s Arnica Salve, the surest Pile cure on earth, and the best Salve in the World. 25 cents a box.
