THE NEXT POSTMASTER.
Walter Akerman, a Prominent Young
Man, the Successful Applicant.
“Listen to my tale of woe!”
As this plaintive wail tilled the
corridors of the postoffice with its
melancholy sadness a Courant-
Aineriean reporter paused in the
perusal of one of those pleasant lit
tle missives, which contain “please
remit” at the bottom, and, poking
Ills head in at the general delivery
window, inquired, in what xvas
meant to lie a sympathetic tone of
voice:
“Hello, Henry, what is the mat
ter ?”
“Nothing at all,” he replied pleas
antly. “I have fully recovered from
my late stage fright. I had a good
thanksgiving dinner and all of the
girls who inquire for mail here look
as sweet and charming as ever. So
you see there’s nothing whatever to
worry me.”
The reporter felt relieved but he
ventured to inquire:
“Who’s to he the next postmaster,
Henry?”
“All indications point to the ap
pointment of Mr. Walter Akerman.
Mr. Aaron Collins, who has been
regarded as the man with the most
promising prospects for the place
has withdrawn his application.”
And further inquiry showed that
Mr. Akerman was almost sure of
die place. He is a son of the late
Hon. Amos. T. Akerman, who was
attorney-general during the Grant
administration, and is a young man
of fine business ability. He is per
sonally popular and will no doubt
make a most acceptable official.
Major Milner’s commission ex
pires on the 11th of January next
and an appointment will no doubt
be made by that time. He and his
son, Mr. Henry Milner, have con
ducted the business.of the office in
a highly satisfactorily manner and
when they retire it will be with
many regrets from our people, who
extend to them their best wishes in
whatever they may engage in.
In advance, the Courant-Ameri
can extends to Mr. Akerman its
sincere congratulation.
A Card of Thanks.
To the people of Oartersville:
Having received your almost unan
imous endorsement for the position
of postmaster of Oartersville and
having withdrawn my application
for that position, I now desire to
return my sincere thanks for your
generous endorsement, and to say
that they are more gratifying to
me than the office could have been.
Again thanking you I am,
Very truly yours,
Aaron Collins.
Municipal.
We knoxv of no mail in Oartersville
better suiteu for the position of mayor
than John 11. Wiklo, and therefore an
nounce him as a candidate.

A Distinguished Party.
A distinguished party is vie\vit g
some of Dartow county’s mineral

experts and a capitalist. The names

of Senator ftroxvn. They will spend
a week in this county.
The party arrived in this city'
Tuesday and spent yesterday look
ing at the Ward property. They
will also go over the other lands of
the Georgia Mining, Manufacturing
and Investment Company. The
purpose of the investigation, as we
understand, is to consider the
advisability of making a half
million dollar investment, this
sum to be expended in great
improvements. The party is
reported as greatly pleased with
what they have seen, and if the
rest of the investigation is equally
satisfactory, there will be no trouble
in bringing the pending negotia

The Courant-Aineriean will watch

A Narrow Escape.
Last Friday while Miss Lillie
Crosby was painting a hearth with
asphaltum and turpentine, the mix
ture in some way caught fire. The
flame quickly passed from the
hearth to the clothing of the young
lady, who was standing near, and
at once leaped up and seemed as if
it would soon completely develope
her. Greatly terrified she ran out
of the room into the hall when her
mother, realizing the danger of her
daughter, called to her to stop. As
the young lady stopped her presence
of mind returned and she imme
diately gathered up her skirts witli
her gloved hands and succeeded in
smothering the flames, thus happily
preventing what hid fair to be a
most terrible accident. Miss Cros
by has the congratulations of her
many friends on her narrow es
cape.
She —“Sav, Sam! Go to Miot’s drug

RHEUMATISM
Is undoubtedly caused by lactic add in
the blood. This acid attacks the fibrous
tissues, and causes the pains and achea
in the back, shoulders, knees, ankles,
hips, and wrists. Thousands of people
have found in Hood’s Sarsaparilla a pos

the acidity of the blood, and also builds
