It is only once in a lifetime that

: McGibeny Family. Only think of
i a harp of fifteen strings, all in har
mony, from little “Bob White’s”
song, up to the mother’s song, “Be
yond the Smiling and the Weeping.”
I envy not the heart that could not
enjoy and appreciate the variety
and excellence of such an exhibi
tion and entertainment. Long may
that harp continue to vibrate with
its concord of sweet sonnets, with
out the plaintive note of a broken
string.—Vinton (la.) Eagle.
A Change in Business.
Larwood Bros, have made a change in
business, Mr. A. M, Quilliaij now having

He will be pleased to see all of his
friends at this popular store. This house
is going to otter to the public the lurgest,
handsomest and cheapest stock of dry
goods ever placed before the people of
North Georgia.
Their spring stock of clothing will ex
cel anything in this line ever shown in
Cartersville, and their cheapness will be
simply marvelous, Wait until this stock
arrives before you make your purchase,
or yon will miss the best oltance you
ever had to secure a superior and stylish

Judge John W. Maddox.
Judge John W. Maddox, of the
Rome circuit, is holding court this
week in the place of Judge Milner,
who is disqualified in a number of
cases. The latter gentleman is
holding court for Judge Maddox in
the Rome circuit.
This 1h not the first time Judge
Maddox lias presided over our court.
He is becoming quite popular with
our bar and people, making new
friends and admirers with every
visit. His prompt manner of dis
patching the business of tiie court,
his perfect impartiality, and tiie
fairness of his decisions in the cases
submitted to him at once strikes
the public with great favor. His
knowledge of law is great and he
knows how to apply it. He is not
ed for his firmness, though at all
times he seeks to administer exact
justice. When he once fully makes
up his mind nothing can shake him
from his purpose and he does his
duty without fear or favor. Per
sonally he is a most courteous and
pleasant man and it is a treat to
enter into social converse with him.
His knowledge of general affairs,
combined with his affable manners,
make him a most entertaining
talker and he never lacks for lis
teners.
Judge Maddox is one of the com
ing men of Georgia and is already
being prominently mentioned as a
candidate for congress for this dis
trict. He would, were he a mind
to run, perhaps be the most formida
ble opponent to the present incum
bent. But his friends say, though
we have never heard of anything
coming directly from the judge,
that lie lias no aspirations, for the
present at least, in that direction—
that he will again offer himself for
the judgeship of his circuit—firmly
establishing his reputation in that
capacity before listening to the call
of the people to any other office.

A Benediction to Religion.
(Springfield, (111.) Nows.]
The McGibeny Family need no
compliments. Their fame is as
broad as the continent. To have
heard them is to have a line of bliss
ful memory that reaches through
all the future. From the oldest to
the youngest, this family were
formed to please. It was a refined
and cultivated audience that greet
ed them, and the audience was de
lighted. It was a religious audience
largely, and the News thinks it will
be a benediction to their religion.
Some people think the devil is in a
fiddle, hut the News would much
sooner believe he was in the man
who does not love the music. No
man ever heard and enjoyed a Mc-
Gibeny concert but he was the bet
ter for it. Their music is chaste,
elegant, pleasing and full of power.
The children are just too cute for
anything. But go tonight and hear
and see for yourself.

CONVINCING PROOF.
In many instances it has been proven
that B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm),
made by Blood Balm Cos., Atlanta, Ga.,
will cure blood poison in its worse
phases, even when all other treatment
fails.
A. P. Brunson, Atlanta, Ga., writes: “I
had 24 running ulcers on one leg and 6
on the other, and felt greatly prostrated.
I believe I actually swallowed a barrel
of medicine, in vain efforts to cure the
disease. With little hope I Anally acted
on the urgent advice of a friend, and got
a bottle of B. B. B. I experienced a change
and my despondency was somewhat dis
pelled. I kept using it until I had taken
sixteen bottles, and all the ulcers, rheu
matism and all other horrors of blood
poison have disappeared, and at last I
am sound and well again, after an expe
rience of twenty years of torture.”
Robt. Ward, Maxey.Ga., writes: “My
disease was pronounced a tertiary form
of blood poison. My lace, head and
shoulders were a mass of corruption,
and finally the disease began eating my
skull bones. My bones ached; my kid
neys were deranged, I lost flesh and
strength, and life became a burden. All
said I must surely die, but nevertheless,
when I had used ten bottles of B. B. B.
I was pronounced well. Hundreds of
scars can now bo seen on me. I have
now been well over twelve months.”
A continual coughing is very annoy
ing to persons sitting near you in any
kind of a gathering; besides, it is of
great damage to the throat and lungs,
and is exceedingly dangerous at this
season of the year. One-half bottle of
Beggs’Cherry Cough Syrup will relieve
any ordinary cough, and this remedy
costs no more than the inferior grades
that are thrown on the market to sell at
enormous profits. M. F. Word, drug
