Andrew Carnegie recently an

“The time is coming,” says the

that prediction will be verified and

A novel wedding was celebrated

A couple were united in marriage

When it comes to revenge for
heinous crimes upon women this
country is the same whether north,

the alleged murder of one girl and
an attempted assault upon another.
Pension Commissioner Lindsey

Hon. Matthew S. Quay, who has

Senator Bacon declares his un

can prove it, but he refuses to dis

against him. That is all that
makes it seem likely that he is
right. The world was against
Galileo. The world was against
Columbus. The world was against

MCNUMENTTO BARTOW.
The citizens of this county,
which took its name from him,
will pet haps, not less than those
surviving members who belonged
to the ’‘lmmortal Eighth Georgia
Regiment,’’ read with interest of a
movement in Savannah to erect a
monument to the gallant Col.
Francis S. Bartow, who fell in the
first battle of Manassas. The Sa
vannah News says:
The movement to raise funds with
which to erect a monument to the
memory of Francis S. Bartow,
which for various reasons has not
yet enlisted the attention of the
; public, is about to be pushed by
the committee having it in charge.
Carnivals and holidays being now
over, and the first year of the cen
tury having opened so auspicious
ly, it is to be expected that one
and all will contribute to the al
ready too long delayed monument
to one of Savannah’s noblest citi
zens and soldiers, who in every
station in life did honor to his na
tive city, and dying, illustrated the
valor of its soldiery.
j It is nearly forty years since he
left Savannah in command of his
company, the Oglethorpe Light In
jfantry, to make part of an army
j that was destined to cover itself
with glory in the strnggle to repel
t'.e invaders of the south. He
1 was made colonel of the Eighth
Regiment of Georgia Volunteers,
and became commander of a bri
gade at the head of which he fell
on the battlefield of Manassas on
July 21, 1861. A country mourn
ed his loss, and the people of Sa
vannah did honor to his memory,
His resting place in Laurel Groye
is marked by a simple stone.
It is the purpose of those who
have undertaken the sacred duty
of establishing a more notable evi
dence of the esteem in which he
was held and the part he perform
ed in the great civil struggle, to
erect a monument or memorial in
this city to his memory—-the gal
lant soldier who, in his last letter
to the executive of Georgia, hav
ing been charged by that official
with leaving liis state which it was
his duty to defend to go to Vir
ginia, said that he went “to illus
trate Georgia.”
The generation to which Col.
Bartow belonged is passing awav,
but the deeds of heroes belong to
ali time and are honored by all
people. To a great extent it is to
those who know of Col. Bartow
and the cause for which he laid
down his life only by history
and tradition that the committee
will apply for contributions, and
doubtless no one able to respond
will refuse to aid in the laudable
undertaking.

man of independent ideas, and
great strength of character, and
the work she has done in Atlanta

THE VALUE AND GROWTH OF WO
MANS’ MUSICAL CLUBS.
By Belle Averitt, of the Orpheus
Club—Columbus, Ga.
The real value of a woman’s
musical club, should be to create a
home and a home atmosphere of
music for its own corporate life.
What is a music atmosphere?
One where people are thinking
about music, lovin'g it, and enter
ing into possession of its artistic
treasures in emotion and memory.
It is not the business of a club to
get music into its members, but to
get its members into music, that is,
into the possession and enjoyment
of music. To incite them to as
similate what has been created and
to reproduce it by interpretation is
good, but the final step is to enjoy
it.
This is not to be done by strug
gling with complex and artificial
forms, but beginning at the pre
cise point where taste and pleas
ure are most quick and vivid, and
enjoving to the full, and then pass
ing onward in the direction of one’s
keenest liking. Only thus can
musical memory aud imagination
be fed
The question of interpretation
should be decided on the same
grounds. Let each member of the
club receive cheerfully the piece
assigned her aud study carefully
so that she may play it, not as she
thinks it ought to be played, but
as she secretly wishes it should be
played. Therebv she expresses
her own individuality and is in
that respect an aitist. If twenty
people in one club were to play
the same piece, to do it artistically,
it should receive twenty different
interpretations, and the most direct
and individual would be the best.
Granted tha*- these matters go
forward artistically, what else are
women’s musical clubs for? To
administer the affairs of music
with grace, propriety and certainty.
They are not for the development
of indsiveness, diplomacy, shrewd
ness, social competiticioimnd home
politics. Women should tuuch
nothing that they do not adorn.
The club is their arena for the dis
play of the graces of heart, mind
and character. “Art is a man’s
path to his work.” That path to
one’s work it is the mission of
womanhood to make beautiful.
The very starting point of club
life is its opportuniiy to exhibit
the perfection of social intercourse
in a common pursuit. This achiev
ed, the elevation of musical taste
in the community will follow of it
self.
These self improved musical so
cieties are rapidly multiplying and
are the means of great good to their
members, and the cause of music.
They are frequently the means of
bringing fine musical artists to
your city for recitals and concerts.
It were vain to try to express in
words all that music has done for
woman; and in turn she has done
a splendid work in elevating the
standard of music, fostering its in
terests and promoting its study.

Get a Start
On Catarrh
And Save Endless Suf
fering which Winter
Brings.
The most offensive of all dis
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have keen under treat
ment for so long, and during thq
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease, are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter
proves that the disease is still with
them, and as the winter advances,
their A’atarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only a slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de
velop the disease. What appears
to be only a bad cold will' prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and wifi return with more
•requency, uutii before long the
lisoase is fully developed.
“For years I suffered from a severe
•nse of Catarrh, and took several kinds
>f medicines and used various local ap
dications, but they had no effect wlmt
■yer. I was induced to try S. S. S.,
Swift’s Specific) and after two months •
1 was perfectly well and havq never
felt any effects of the disor.se since.

U. S. Senator Stephen R,
Mallory, Pensacola, Fla., says:
••I have used your excellent rem.
edy, Peruna, and can recommend
it both as a tonic and a safe ca
tarrh remedy."
Hon. William Young =
blood, Auditor for the Interior,
writes from Washington, D. C., to
Dr. Hartman, Columbus, 0., as
follows: “I’ve often heard of your
great medicine and have persuad
ed my wife, who has been much
of a sufferer from catarrh, to try
Peruna, and after using one bottle
she has wonderfully improved. It
has proved all you have claimed
for it."
Hon. Rufus B. Merchant,
Superintendent and Dis
bursing Officer, U. S. Post
office, Washington, D. C., says:
“ / take pleasure in commending
your tonic, having taken a bottle
of Peruna with very beneficial re
sults. it is recommended 9 to me
as a very excellent catarrh cure."
Those who get a start on the dis
ease before the cold and disagree
able weather aggravates it, will
find a cure less difficult. Catarrh
increases in severity year by year,
and becomes one of the most ob
stinate and deep-seated troubles.
But it is equally important that
the right remedy be given. All
local applications •of sprays,
washes, inhalations, etc., can
never cure Catarrh, for they do
a not reach the dis
ease. Catarrh is
in the blood, and
only a& hi ood
remedy can cure
it. Local appli
cations only
VAC reach the irritated
||Pi surface; the right
,w remedy must be
taken internally.
Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) is the
right remedy for Catarrh. It
cures the most obstinate cases by
going direct to the cause of the
trouble—the blood —and forcing
out the disease. Those who have
met with so much disappointment
from local treatment should throw
a^ide,their sprays, washes and in
haling mixtures and take S. S. S.
A cure will result. Send for free
