W About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on my check, and the doctors pro nounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine tncy applied was like fire to the Bore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what S. S.

Before I had used the second bottle the neighiiors could notice that my cancer was healing up. ily general health liad been Dad for two or three years—l haa a hacking cough ana spit blood contin ually. I had a severe pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left me and T grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all but a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disapitearing. I would advise every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial. Mr*. NANCY J.

A Strong Hoard of Directors —The Report of Mr. West, the Mining Expert, very Satisfactory—The Property Pro nounced the Finest in the South. Atlanta Journal, 10th inst.] At a meeting of the Etowah Iron and Manganese Company, held yesterday af ternoon, a formal organization vras effect ed by the election of the following named gentlemen as a board of directors : Messrs. J. W. Rankin, L. J. Hill, Aaron Haas, O. C. Fuller, A. J, Orme, A. W Hill, H. J. Lamar, C. T. Swift, and Louis Gholstin. A meeting of the directors xvas subse quently held and the following officers were elected : President, J. W. Rankin. Vice President, L J. Hill. Secretary, Aaron Haas. Treasurer, A. W. Hill. The company thus formed is one of the strongest and most substantial that could be organized in the city, and is officered by gentlemen who are noted for their energy and enterprise. The capital stoek of the -company is $1,000,000 with pow'er to in crease into $10,000,000, and it may well be predicted that in less than two years they will have the most valuable and best pay ing iron interest in the Snuth. In this connection it will be interesting to know vlvit Mr. G. AY. West, an English mining expert, whose reputation is very high, spent the whole of last week on the company’s property giving it a most care ful and critical inspection. The result, he states, was a surprise to himself, although the ideas he had previously formed of it from inspections given him were very high. He pronourices the property the most valuable he has seen during an act ive experience of twenty years in this country. The supply of iron and manga nese, he says in exhaustible, and further, it is superior to anything of the kind in Alabama, or, for that matter, in the South. He is now engaged in preparing for the company a detailed report of his observa tions which will be of great interest. Within a tew days, as soon as the forces can be organized, a surveyor will be put in the field to locate the lines of the prop erty, and a mining corps, under a compe tent mining engineer, will begin opera tions and determine the locations for the furnaces. The gentlemen who "were the prime movers in the matter are very much pleas ed with the outlook, pronouncing it far better now than they had been led to an ticipate. There is an actiye demand for the stock, but the company is not as desi rous ot disposing of it as they were two. or three weeks ago, being inclined to hold on themselves to what they now consider one of the best and most promising enterprises in the South. There is every probability that the price of the stock will be speedily advanced. SENSIBLE essay Read Before the Seventeenth District Ag ricultural Club. liY N. B. CANNON. ■, 'i’he duty pdt upon me to write an es say on the above subject, will hive to confess that if I ever knew anything about curtailing expenses on the farm, I have never practiced it as I should. If things continue in the future like they have in the past, we all will know more about how to curtail expenses on the farm if we pursue the same line of business for a living. AVe, as farmers, should give closer attention to business. I think you will admit with me that farmers as a rule are the most careless people iu the manage ment of their farms than any other avo cation men pursue for a living. Look at the merchant or any of the other pursuits of man, (other than the fanner) and just see what close attention is paid to their businesses. They study it by day and dream over it at night. They can never find time to run around over the country to hunt pleasure. Y r ou can always find them at their post waiting for the old slipshod farmer to come so they can skin him alive. Farm ers are the most imposed on people in the world. While at the same time every body knows and will admit that they are the backbone.of the country, (although the back bone is getting very weak finan cially.)! don’t wonder at it; in noticing an article in the Courant-Ameiucan of a report from Commissioner Henderson on the time and cash price of corn and bacon last year, the average price on corn was 42 per cent, and on bacon 84)) per cent, for about 4 months, fake it for the year it would be equivalent to 120 and 104 per cent, per annum. Iu the same arti cle it says no wonder farming don’t pay. In any other class of business they could not have held up 3 mouths. Not only i3 it so with big per cent, on corn and bacon but nearly everything the farmer buys on time he has to pay a long price. The greater reason why we should adopt the cash system as soon as possible, and try to raise our supplies at home, let us be producers as well as consumers. Thera are a great many little expenses on the farm that we should look after, and the larger ones will take care of them selves. AVe, as farmers, should look aftei our farming tools and machinery, having a place for everything and all things in their places, thereby making them last longer iml saving the expense of buying new implements, when the others lay around in the fence corner-, in all kinds of xveatker, half rotted and rusted out. It would pay us to look more after our labor, seeing that we get yaluc received for what we pay for it, this, I think is a very important item that should receive our at tention. lam informed hy our represent ative to the State Agricultural Convention meetings that several members iu their experience informed the convention that we might save one third of the corn fed to our stock by soaking it from one feed to the next. AA r e, as farmers, should be more energetic, more industrious and more economical, all these tend to curtail ex penses on the farm. I think that we, as club men, have accomplished something in the way of curtailing expenses on the farm already, and hoping to be more suc cessful in the future, I am your3 respect fully, N. B.

TOO HORRIBLE FOR BELIEF. The Dead Bodies of a Wife and Brother Kept Five Weeks Lying On a Bed in a General Sleeping Room By Wealthy hat Eccen tric Relatives. Nf.w Brunswick, N. J., March 10.— Denmead family have for years furnished gossip for the people of New Brunswick. Eccentric and wealth}', yet living in squalor, in a wretched hovel under ground, they have furnished material for many a newspaper story. For the past two months nmiofl relative to the condi tion of Mrs. Samuel Denmead have been flying about. It being utterly impossible to secure entrance to the hovel, owing to the fierce conduct of Samuel Denmead, no one solved the mystery until to-day. The theory that Mr* Denmead was dead gained currency for two reasons—because she had not been seen for over two months, and because her husband, Samuel, re cently ordered coffins by the wholesale from a local carpenter. A warrant for the arrest of the Denmeads was issued this afternoon upon the complaint of Mrs. Brundage, of Piscataway, and G’hief of Police Fouratt, accompanied by officers, reporters, and relatives of the Denmeads, proceeded to the hovel. On reaching the door they were confronted by John Den mead, one of*the brothers, who attempted to prevent their entrance, but he xvas easily overpowered. As the door opened a frightful stench assailed the nostrils of the party. John Denmead, seeing that re sistance was useless, procured a light and led the way into a rear room, where, upon the bed, lay the dead bodies of Mrs. Samuel and Robert Denmead, horribly decomposed. AA r hen asked why the fact of his re atives’ death had not been made known, John Denmead said : “We were alraid they would be taken away from us.” Officers were placed on guard at the hovel, and John and Samuel Den mead were taken into custody. A cor oner’s jury has been impaneled to deter mine the cause of the death of the Den meads. John Denmead says that they both died five weeks ago, and that he wanted to have them buried, and out of the way, but Samuel would not listen to it The bodies have been removed hy order of County Physician Rice. AVhen Samuel xvas taken into the wash-room of the jail to be given a bath, he fought like a tiger. TIIE STORY SUBSTANTIATED. The mystery surrounding the Denmead family has been cleared up. The family consisted of three brothers —Samuel, liobt. and John, and John’s wife. Samuel’s wife and Robert had not been seen for over two months, and Samuel’s savage manner repelled everybody who made in quiry. At the instance of relatives a search warrant was issued, and in the hovel occupied by the family was found yesterday the bodies of the two missing people, partly decomposed. The condi tion of the bodies indicated that they died from starvation. Samuel and John say they died of natural causes, and the sup position is that after they fell ill they were neglected and thus starved. The brothers were arrested. After this they gave a power of attorney to their counsel, who had their horrible den cleared out and most of its contents burned. In it were found great quantities of deeds, mortgages and other valuable papers. The family arc very wealthy, but have lived as re cluses many years, repelling all associa tion with mankind. Their counsel makes the statement that Robert Denmead was taken ill tour months ago and died about Christmas. Cornelia was taken ill a few days before Christmas and died a few days after. Death in each case resulted from natural causes. John says Samuel would not permit the bodies to be buried. OUR DUTY. Let Ex-ery Citizeu of Bartow County Read. Fonder and Act. The following taken from the Dalton Argus, is very appropriate for Cartersville and Bartow county. The time has come for all to move. One step backward means ruin to our now bright prospects: AVe have at ast struck the tide which taKen at its ebb, means success. Our people are full of a confidence which they h ive never felt before—a con fidence rounded by the shining sheckels of dead men resurrected unto anew life— a confidence which would sooner put a dollar in Dalton dirt than to put the precious soil into a dollar. And under the electrical impulse of this better feeling men combine in common effort, to do as they have neyer done be fore. Our citizens have become a common family of helpers in the pride of their building. We have ripened into a perfect con dition of usefulness. The god of nature has surrounded this beautiful valley town with all that is attractive and healthful, and its moun tains are pregnant with the wealth of the finest iron ones yet discovered in all this iron belted country. Our hills have given up their secrets and the science of nature has shown up the various iron ores rerdy to shovel from their beds into the furnaces for making and the finer grades of iron in just that proportion has been discovered by the test of applied science. Talk about iron! The broad range of the-'e mountains has never yet shown such deposits as have come to the surface jin our own hills. We have all these things, but the ques tion is, what shall we do—what will we do—to force into the minds of prospectors that we mean to make a big town ol Dalton? We may theorize a thousand years, and there is but one process by which we may reason them into that faith which we may have. We must have factories. We must have big factories and little factories We must have factories that will pay the stockholders reasonable dividends and the workmen good wages. We must have factories —the evergrow ing crops which carrv with them a har vest with each day’s beginning. Let every citizen focalize his mind to this one idea, and a sweeping glut of that which we have only, as yet, had a bare taste, will touch every corner of the country. Let us realize what we have to do, and everj r man set himself to the task of help ing to do it. Let us work together. Astonishing Success.

Atlanta correspondence Macon Telegraph.] Great imposition is often practiced on Governors to obtain requisitions on other States for alleged fugitives from justice- A case that came up to-day from Coffee county is a notable specimen. Indeed, it is doubtful, if there is a worse case on re cord of the abuse of this in’.er-State court esy. Last fall there came to Coffee county from Sumter county, S. C., a family con sisting of Mr. James AV. Budd and Miss Fannie Budd, his daughter, a preposses ing young lady. Shortly after there fol lowed them one Dr. J. J. L. Miller, from Sumter county, S. C., who, under an alias hung around the girl endeavoring to get her to go back to South Carolina with him. It transpires that Miller is a married man, and his purpose was anything but an honorable one. Whatever encourage ment he may have received from the girl, his scheme was thwarted by the father. Miller made several trips to Coffee county, but met failure each time. He then sought the aid of the law, and secured from Gov. Richardson, of South Carolina, upon affidavits, made charging Budd with obtaining money under false pretenses, a requisition upon the Governor of this State for him. In the meantime he also had the young lady arrested in Coffee on the same charge. On the preliminary hearing in th. latter case Justice Jim Denton, an honest, big hearted magistrate, who had learned the facts, dismissed the case as one of the flimsiest he had ever heard of. Budd was also arrested on the 15th of February, and has since been held in the sheriff s custody in Coffee, without an executive warrant and contrary to law. The sheriff of Sumter county, South Carolina, Marion Sanders, accompanied by a South Carolina lawyer, has appeared before the Governor with the requisition and affidavits and asked for the proper warrant. With the papers from Coffee county came a communication to the Governor from Justice Denton laying be fore his excellency all the facts in the case and stigmatising it a '‘disgraceful state of affairs,” The scheme of Miller, as Justice Denton states it, in getting the requisition for Budd, the father, is to get him to South Carolina on the idea that if he can suc ceed in it the daughter will go with him or follow him there. It is unfortunate that the Governor of South Carolina could not have been put In possession of these facts when the application for a requisi tion was made. It is certainly fortunate that the Governor of Georgia has been made acquainted with the true inwa.'d ness of this whole transaction, and the dastardly effort to use the strong arm of the law to accomplish an immoral pur pose. After learning the facts Governor Gordon declined to honor the requisition, and Dr J. J. T. Miller, his attorney, and Sheriff Sanders, will return home com pletely baffled. A B*ar Story. Exchange. Janesville, a little Pennsylvania town of 300 people, has been iu commotion for a week. While Mr. James Y. Gault was on a fox chase the other day he was at 1 tracted to a dense underbrush by the big racket his dogs were making. Thinking they had hold of a porcupine, he made for the spot, and climbing through and over laurel and limbs until quite near the place, when, upon looking up, he saw a black bear after the dogs. Although his gun was loaded with sma’l shot for foxes, he quickly determined to fire. The shot only grazed the shoulder aud only hurt the bear enough to enrage her. She turned upon him immediately, while he climed upon a log and awaited her approach, lie still had a barrel of his gun loaded with shot, and when the bear was within a few feet of him he took deliberate aim and fired. It was well done. The bear being so near the shot could not scatter, and the wlio’e load struck the brain and did the work as well or better than a ball would. She dropped dead. While skinning the bear his attention was cal ed to a whin ing near by, and upon investigation he found under the roots of a fallen tree, just a few yards away, a nice, snug nest, in which were four cubs, about two weeks old and not larger than ordinary kittens. He wrapped them in his coat and started for the nearest house. The neighbor, with a sled, took Mr. Gault back to the woods, and after loading up the entire “catch” started for town. The bear weighed more than 200 pounds, dressed, and contained five gallons of bear oil, valued at $5 per gallon. The skin sold sold for $lO and the cubs sold for a nice price. WE WILL NOT HAVE THE MILLS. Armour’s Syndicate Bought Off by the Cottou Seed Syndioatc. Chicago, March 11. —The statement is made here by Mr. AVebster, one of the firm of Armour & Cos., that the firm has de cided not to build cotton-seed oil mills at various points throughout (he south, as heretofore announced. This is in direct contradiction of the statement made by the firm four days ago, but the fact that the mills are not to be built appears to be absolute. It is estimated that the firm has arranged with a cotton seed oil syndicate to furnish them with oil at a contract price, which result was accomplished owing to the threat to build opposition mills. Washington, March 11. —The state ments in the Chicago dispatch quoting Mr. AVebster, member of the Armour firm, were foreshadowed in the financial gossip of a New York paper yesterday, and in what purported to be an interview from a gentleman connected with the Cotton Oil Trust. The reasons lor failure to carry out the scheme were the same as those given iu the Chicago dispatch to-day. Since the passage of the interstate com merce bill, which will cause the freight pools to be abolished, the railway man agers have been busy devising some means by which they could afford their lines some protection aside from that which has been promised in the famous bill. No lines have been more interested than those in the south, and the officials have not been slow toward taking de cisive action in the matter. As is known, there are two freight organizations in the south one of which is the Southern Rail way Steamship Association, and the other is the southern pool of the Associated Roads of Kentucky, Alabama and Geor gia. The former makes the rates and the latter sees that they are protected. The southern pool will be abolished on April 1, and it will he merged into the South ern Railway and Steamship Association, which will not be affected by the inter state bill, except that the rates it makes will be subject to the approval of the com mission. An Imperative Necessity. What pure air is to an unhealthy local ity, what spring cleaning is to the neat housekeeper, so is Hood’s Sarsaparilla to everybody at this season. The body needs to be thoroughly renovated, the blood purified and vitalized, the germs of disease destroyed. Scrofula, Salt Rheum, and all other blood disorders are cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, the most popular and suc cessful spring medicine. ATLANTA'S NEW SCHEME. A Party of Fhilantlirophista Dof Good Tbiug for the Dnrkey#. Courier- Journal.] Atlanta, March 9.— Atlanta is saon to hare anew suburb. Before the year doses there will be an incorporated negro village just beyond the southern con fines of the city. It is situated out Pryor street, near the Clark University. The town has been surveyed, the lots marked off and the streets laid out. All that is necessary to make it a genuine town, is for these vacant lots to be bui t up. Al ready a number of habitations have been erected. Other dwellings will spring up rapidly. When built it will be the most unique town iu the United States. It will be literally a negro twn. Its May or will be a colored man, the members of its municipal council will be colored, the police will be colored, and, in fact, all the corporation functionaries will be of dark complexion. Some months ago the idea of starting this village occurred t> Mr. Campbell Wallace, Jr., who is possessed of large lauded interests in that neighborhood. He owned a tract consisting ot fifty acres of good land adjacent to Clark University He was desirous of disposing of this land, and he conceived the idea of dividing it off into about two hundred and fifty build ing lots and selling these on very easy terms to negroes. In order to carry out his project he organized the South Atlau ta Land and Improving company, which was duly chartered a few weeks ago. Col. A. E. Buck was elected President and Mr. Campbell Wallace, Jr., was cho sen Secretary and Treasurer,Prof. Brown, of Clark’s University, was made General Manager. The laud was surveyed, the lots divided off, and it was announced that building sites would be sold to color ed peope on exceedingly easy terms. It was agreed that purchasers should be given four years in which to pay for the laud. It was further arranged that buyers of the lots could have such houses us they preferred erected by the company. These houses are to be sold at actual cost, and the purchaser will be allowed time. A'* soon as the enterprise assumed shape and become known to the colored people, there sprang up a lively demand for build ing lots. I'nus far all the purchasers are well-to do, respectable colored people. The company will sell lots only to the decent class of negroes. SOCIAL EQUALITY. Two White Northern Schoolnitiring Create a Sensation at a Keligioux Meeting:. ..Last Sunday afternoon a little scene took place at the gospel tent in Atlantai which almost developed in f o a sensation. The Atlanta correspondent of the Macon Telegraph tells the story thus : Two white yankee schoolmarin3 came in with a crowd of negro school girls and took seats among the white people. One of the evangelists, the Rev. Tillman, ap proached the party and said to one of the schoolmarms : - ‘you must move these negro girls to those seats over there, which have been set apart for colored people. They cannot be allowed to sit here.” The woman at once fired up and flatly refused to move the party. Then the preacher went after a policeman. Officer Whitley was on duty at the gospel tent, and to him the matter was reported. Officer Whitley approached the party and said to the schoolmarm: “You must move the negro girls to the seats set apart for them.” The woman began to talk Lack when the officer said : “Either cue of the two things will happen. These girls must move their se its or I will lock you all up.” After a whispering conference the white schoolmarms and their negro scholars bounced up and left the gospel tent. On the outside one of the marms. great ly offended, walked up to Officer Whitley and said : “I thought that these gospel meetings were free to people regardless of color,” “They are,” said Whitley, “but tbe ne groes must sit in the seats designated for them.” “Well,” said the raarm, “I thought that a person of one color was as good as a person of another color, and that colored people had as much right to all of the seats as white people.” “That’s where you made a mistake,” said the officer. “We have not got social equality down South yet, and it will be many and many a year before we will have it.” And the irate schoolmarm moved off fol lowed by her dark school girls. SOUND LOGIC W. C. Prime, of the New York Journal of commerce, is doing some very interest ing work for that paper in his letters from Florida. He believes that there is ample basis for substantial development in that State, but along the line of railroad from Sanford to Tampa particularly, as in other sections, the disposition to kill the goose that lays the golden egg has almost coniDletely stopped immigration, and pro duced stagnation where abundant prosper ity was promised in the marvelous growth of the new villages which sprung up a few years ago. Mr. Prime thinks that it is ab surdly high valuations placed on land by speculators. Commenting on the above the Rome Courier says : “We kuow of several towns in Georgia that have been held back for several years **y this spirit of self-destruc tion which Mr. Prime so well describes in the above letter referring to Florida’s growth. Georgia needs immigration, and it she gets it she must hold out such induce ments as will encourage poor men as well as the rich to settle within her borders. Just here we willsay to all those interest ed in the welfare of Rome and her sur rounding country, that now is the time to encourage new enterprises, hold out spec ial inducements to visiting mechanics, and such men as labor for their living, for certainly there is no class of men better calculated to build up a city than those who manufacture the world’s supplies from crude materials. We say, give every producer a special chance to settle in your ity or county.” Mrs. Cleveland Thanked for Wearing High-Necked Dresses.

Mr. David Long of Dahlonega, recently receiyed a letter from his brother who lives near the foot of the Cobutta moun tains, stating that he had found a very rich mine on a lot owned by himself. The lot is in Fannin county, near the line of Gilmer county. In the letter he says that not long ago he took out 400 penny weights in four days. Mr. Long runs a store on the Cohutta Mountains, and he often buys the shrub known as the “pink root” for medical purposes. He would buy this shrub from the citizens around just as it was pulled trom the ground, and the gold was first discovered in this way, particles of it being found in the dirt that fell from the roots of the shrub.
