to take car. of this food, although
it is true large number of per
sons dipe and upon it especially
through the cold weather. The;
fact is, how ever, that as a rule fat
is largely deficient in our food;
that is, a fat which can be easily
digested and promptly assimilated
by the system. Cod liver oil, as
we find it in Scott’s Emulscn, is
the most easily digested of all fats;
it is just the food the body must
have to give it nerve power, brain
power, and digestive power.

Yesterday at Bonnie Brook, in
this county, a gathering of the
relatives and friends met at the
home of Mr. G. R. Gibbons, where
children of the fourth generation
were “gaily ranting through the
house,” while the more aged ones
were either conversing seriously
or "cracking crouse by the iugle
side.” The rooms were elaborate
ly and artistically decorated with
a profusion of beautiful flowers and
trailing vines in which thought
was plainly to be traced, as around
the framed picture of the aged
grandfather a lot of faded leaves
were placed among the green and
tender vines which, to a feeling, ap
preciative soul, spoke emblematical
ly. The entire decoration had a
very tender, pathetic meaning.
Those present were Dr. Robert
I, Battle and Mr, James Irick, the
son-in-laws of Mr. Gibbons with
their wives and children; Mr. J. C.
Herring and wife, (old Virginia
friends) whD had recently returned
from a visit to old friends after an
absence of twenty-seven years;
Mr. Will Gibbons and wife and
child, of' Vans Valley; Mr. J. R.
Gibbons and wife and son; Mr.
Robert Reufroe, wife and little
daughter, the writer and Mr. Ber
nard Herring.
Tis a rare treat to be present in
a house where such a social, Chris
tian atmosphere pervades the en
tire family circle. The older ones
referred with grateful joy and
cheering pride to the fact that so
far there had not been a single
member of this 'family in the large
circle of relatives through past or
present generations with a disrepu
table record. Mr. Gibbons was
noted to be a truly rich man by
this pleasing fact.
Prose and poetical quotations,
both borrowed and original, were
very pleasingly and appropriately
used by the cheerful, happy com
pany, such as —
•‘A solemn murmur in the soul
Tells of a world to be,
As travelers hear the billows roll
Before they reach the sea ”
Then, after a free, easy mixed
conversation, one of the company
would throw in a gem, such as—
“ Behold the western, evening light
it melts in deepening gloom,
So calmly christiars melt away,
Descending to the tomb,”
After state, national and wide
world affairs were discussed and
commented upon, dinner was an
nounced, when the company was
conducted to the dining room.
Though Mr. Gibbons is a demo
crat, Mr. McKinley’s “full dinner
pail” was there; there to repletion
and running over. A detailed de
scription would be too long to give,
but flowers, button-hole bouquets
and every rare adjunct of a well or
dered birthday dinner were con
spicuous and in great profusion.
The nicely roasted pig having a
red apple in its mouth, the baked
chickens, ducks.etcetera were pres
ent, having pepper corn eyes out
of which they warmly gazed upon
the gay diners until the excellent
ice cream department was reached,
and the company cooled off and
ceased from its gastronomic labors.
The expression being frequently
heard from the eider members:
“Oh. if I were only young again!”
the poetess of “Bonnie Brook” was
called upon for two verses of her
little poem entitled, “I Would not
Climb Life’s Hill Again.” Here
they are;
“i would not climb lire’s hill again;
Ah, not I am content
That 1 am thus far, and the years,
If good or bad, are spent.
Perhaps if 1 could spend them o’er,
I’d fewer blunders make;
Perhaps I would make many more;
And many a worse mistake.”
The “soul of song” has written
many beautiful, rhytnic and poet
ical effusions which deserve a wide
recognition, and it would be ac
corded her were she not too diffi
dent, too modest to press herself to
the front.
The elder Mr. Gibbons’ birth
day is November the 18th; his son’s
November the i6th —hence is made
the custom of the family to hold
its annual Birthday Dining No
vember tbe 17th, T. F. J.

Demolished.
DETAILS MEAGER AS TO WRECK-
Th Nashville and Chattanooga
Depot Entirely Destroyed and
Trains Delayed.
Chattanooga Times.
The little hamlet of Lavergne.,
situated sixteen miles south of
Nashville, ou the main line of the
Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis road, was completely wreck
ed at 6 o'clock last evening by a
cyclone, the severity of which was
something unusual iu these parts.
Deep interest was manifested by
local officials, operators and em
ployes of the railway, but owing
to the fact that the wires were
down very few of the details could
be learned last night.
Lavergne is a small town of 200
inhabitants, all of whom, so far as
could be learned, , escaped with
their lives, with the exception of a
Mr. Robertson and his 6-year-old
child, who were killed. The Nash
ville, Chattanooga and St. Louis
ri i way depot was blown down aud
completely demolished’, but the
agent and operator, J. R. Parke,
who is well known in local railway
circles, escaped unhurt, leaving
the depot in time to save his life.
According to information received
here only one house was left stand
ing in the entire town, while the
telegraph line, wir:s, poles and all,
were blown down for a distance of
several miles.
A wrecking train was sent out
from Nashville as soon as the news
of the disaster reached that point,
and the company’s linemen suc
ceeded in making a connection
around by Columbia, Tenn., so
that coummunication between this
place and Nashville was maintained
during the night.
Lavergne is the home of Con
ductor Aylor, who was wounded a
few days ago, aud who is now at
his home in that town. Consider
able anxiety was felt last night for
his safety, although nothing defi
nite could be learned as to his fate
last night.
The tracks of the Nashville road
were not damaged, but the tele
graph poles were blown athwart
the rails in every direction, and
the wrecking crew ha 1 quite a job
clearing the track.
Train No. 3, due at this point
from Nashville at 2:50 o’clock a. in.
was delayed an hour and thirty
minutes, and did not reach Chatta
nooga until 4:20 o’clock this morn
ing.

JUDGE T- N-STANFORD,
Wli Known Citizen Passes Away
Monday Night.
Judge T. N. Stanford died at His
home on Gilmer street Monday
night. His death was not unex
pected as he had lingereS for sev
eral weeks in such a feeble physi
cal stage as made the going out of
his life an hourly possibility.
Judge Stanford has been for a
long time a sufferer from indigest
ion. This undermined his consti
tution and other complications fol
lowed. Several months ago he
( took his bed, and finally was
| stricken with paralysis. He bore
I his illness with strong heroism
! and resignation until the end came
peaceful and calm.
Judge Stanford possessed some
extraordinary strong traits of char
acter. He was conscientious in
his acts and was strong in 'his con
victions. He was always for what
he thought was right and held to
his positions and belief answt v ug
ly. He was for eight yearsand up
to bis death a justice of the peace
aud always performed his duties
faithfully and correctly.
He was born in Hancock county
, but came to North Georgia when a
boy. He lived for a number of
years in Whitfield county, where
he followed farming, but for about
twenty years has been a resident
of Bartow county and Cartersville.
His wife was Miss Mary Baker, a
sister of Dr. T. H. Baker, and pre
ceded him in death about fourteen
years ago.
Judge Stanford leaves six chil
dren. They are John Stanford,
merchant of this city, Rev. T. B.
Stanford, a Methodist preacher,
stationed now at Baxley, Ga.,
James W. Stanford, merchant,
Misses Partha, Viola aud Ollie
Stanford. He has been since his
boyhood a member of the Metho
dist church.
Judge Stanford fought in the war
as a member of Col. Jeff Johnson’s
regiment.
He was a member of the order
of Freemasons, and was buried with
honors from that order.
The funeral took place from the
Methodist church at 2 o’clock.
THE HEAVENLY CITY-
That Will Be the Subject of a Ser
mon at the Baptist Church.
At the Baptist church next Sun
| day morning, Rev. Alex W.
Realer, the pastor, will preach the
last of his series of sermons on
some of the vital doctrines of the
Bible. This subject will be “The
Heavenly city.” He argues that
heaven is as much a necessity as
hell. The congregations that have

Does Your

Baking Powder
Contain
Alum ?
Prof. Geo. F. Barker, M.D., University of
Penn.: “All the constituents of alum remain
(from alum baking powders) in the bread, and
the alum itself is reproduced to all intents and
purposes when the bread is dissolved by the
gastric juice in the process of digestion. I re
gard the use of alum as highly injurious.**
Dr. Alonzo Clark: “A substance (alum)
which can derange the stomach should not be
tolerated in baking powder.’* ,
Prof. W. G. Tucker, New York State
Chemist: “I believe it (alum) to be decidedly
injurious when used as a constituent of food .
articles.”
Prof. S. W. Johnson, Yale College: “I
regard their (alum and soluble alumina salts)
introduction into baking powders as most dan
gerous to health.”
In view of such testimony as this,
. every care must be exercised by
the housewife to exclude the over
and over condemned cheap, alum
baking powders from the food.
• "fU u< <• ;.'*■* .
Baking powders made from cream of tartar,which
is highly refined grfepe acid, are promotive of health,
and more efficient; No other kind should be used
in leavening food. Royal Baking Powder is the
highest example of a pure cream of tartar powder.

medal, the highest award in its
gifts, the silvei medal and diploma
(the highest award) of the Nat

more than 50 years to receive both

was established by the will of its
founder made in 1816, aud the lat

EARLY MORNING FIRE-
Residence of J. W. Harris
Burned Last F'-idav.
The family of Judge J. W. Har
ris were roused last Frioay morn
ing by the cry of fire from some
of the neighbors, and on going out
Judge Harris found that his resi
dence was on fire near the roof,
and was burning briskly.
The alarm was given and the
firemen were soon upon the scene
with reel and hose, but the fire had
gotten under such headway that a
large portion of the house was
burned before it could be extin
guished.
All of the furniture from the
lower rooms was saved, but a few
pieces left up-stairs 'was burned.
A servant had built a fire in the
dining room, and the fire was first
discovered near the roof where the
chimney passes cut. It is not
known just how it caught.
While the house was not con
sumed it was damaged to such an
extent that it could not well be re
paired. The damage was fully
covered by insurance.
