B oards of health in the cities arc now
turning their attention to sanitary mat

The Constitution makes the definite
statement that President Cleveland wiJ
visit Atlanta during the Piedmont Ex
position in October.
Lands in the suburbs of Thomasville
are selling at SSOO per acre. This shows

The result of the prohibition move
ment iu Tennessee is anxiously watched
for by the people of the whole couutry.
It is claimed by somo of the very best
papers of the state that prohibition will
prevail.
The long drouth in southeast°rn Texas
Continues unbrokon, and in consequence
there is much suffering. Cattle are
perishing by hundreds, and the people
in many places are without the neces
saries of life. Several of the most fer
tile counties are now almost barren.
Texas has 5,200 liquor dealers, and
they are preparing to fight prohibition
with as much vigor as a united effort
will permit. They have an organ called
the Auti-Prohibitionist. The prohibi
tionist are confident of success, however,
and claim that Texas will take rank as
a prohibition state.
It is uow generally coLoeded that the
Inter-State Commerce Commissioners
must be allowed great discretionary lati
tude in construing the bill under which
they act. especially the 4th section, or
the 1 mg and short haul clause, as it is
culled. It will be ruinous to enforce
this section literally.
The ancient old town of St. Augustine,
Fla., was visited by fire the fiend on
Wednesday destroying many of her
marks of antiquity, among them the old
cathedral. The aggregate loss amounts
to about $250,000, with little insurance.
Tlioßt. Augustine Hotel was completely
burned, loss $150,000: no insurance.
The inter-state commission are loud
in their condemnation of the lethargy of
the fool-killer that didn’t get in liis work
during the last session of congress. The
commission have gotten tired of their
job of running such a gigantic thing as
the railroad system of the United States,
and will most likely come to the conclu
sion that it can’t be did.
Ex-Governor Palmer, of Illinois, is
a warm admirer of President Cleveland.
He says: “He comoi straight to the
point at once. There is no evasion, no
nonsense about him. He has courage,
brains and honesty. No oue could talk
to him teu minutes without being im
pressed with that fact. lam the more
glad to any this became 1 was not a
Cleveland man originally.”
John T. Raymond, the eminent com
edian, died at Evansville, Indiana, on
Saturday. He had gone there to till an
engagement on Friday night, but was
suddenly taken ill. His death was
caused by heart disease, complicated
with congestion of the bowels. John T.
Raymond was perhaps the greatest
comedian of the age, and many are
the thousands who have enjoyed his in
imitable acting.
General Bragg, of the inter state
commission, in an interview says, in re
lation to the suspension of the long and
short haul clause of the inter-state com
merce aet: “Our suspension of this
clause pending a decision does not com
mit us in anyway, and in the order we
reserve the right to revoke it at any
time. If we should come to a decision
before the uiuety days, we can revoke
the order. There is no question as to
our authority to make the order.” Mr.
orrisou said: “We investigated snf
iiciently to satisfy us, and we are the
judges under the law.”
It will be well wlieu our people learn
that; there are many points that afford
magnificent opportunities for a prolitable
investment of capital, aad for the es
tablishment of enterprises. They should
further learn that capital is going where
the greatest inducements are offered,
and the place that is most wideawuke
and liberal in offering these inducements
is the place that will get the capital, and
in couaequeuce will become growing,
prosperous cities. The town that is i'lib
eral and unenterprising, and sits quietly,
expecting capital to seek out her ad
vantages and force itself upon her, is
the town that will get left, and will
droop and wither like vegetation without
raiu or sunshine.
The Dalton Argus makes this im"
portant suggestion; “The rumor that
t e Baltimore and Ohio railroad is com
ing south fron Clifton Forge, Ya., by
the way of 1 hiltou and Cartersville may
seem strange to some people, ami the
fact that prominent officials of the
Georgia Central were with the Garrett
crowd in Alabama may not have excited
particular attention; but suppose these
combinations should get the Western
and Atlantic, when it is again leased,
wou’d it not make things look quite
plaiu? With the Baltimore and Ohio at
Dalton, Chattanooga, Borne, Birmingham
and Atlanta would be at arm’s length,
and the Bouth Atlautic and Gulf coast in
easy reach. The Baltimore and Ohio
has au eye on the old reliable.” (
AN ARMY OF THIEVES .
Perhaps the largest band of organized
thieves that ever existed iu this country
was suddenly run to earth last Monday,
on the Panhandle railroad iu Pcnnsvl
vania. For three years past this system
of railroads lias been missing articles of
merchandise from tlie freight trains on
their line between Pittsburg and Colum
bus. These robberies grew iu frequency
and amount, until it is estimated that a
half millou dollars worth of goods had
been taken from cars. After months of
quiet work, detectives have just suc
ceeded iu fixing the crime on employes
of the road. The stealing, it was dis
covered, was done by the freight crews,
and it is stated that out of 80 of those
on the road at oue time 75 were crook
ed. Hundreds of meu were involved
and many arrests have been made.
There seemed to be a systematic organ
ic itiou composed of the conductors and
train hands on the freight trains, but in
no instance has it been discovered that
the engineers and firemen were connect
ed with tiro robberies. The following
is an account < f hew some of the thefts
ware carried on, and the spirit of tlie
employes committing them, as told by a
detective:
“Iu oue case just lately, the pursuit
was so hot that twenty-five boxes of
fine cigars were hastily ourned in a ca
boose stove. Iu another case a trip re
sulted iu two bolts of a fine silK being
thrown into the Monongahela river while
crossing the Pun-handle bridge. In an
other instance a crew broke open a car,
and found it full of orauges. Oue of
tire meu was enraged bv finding uothiug
of the stealable kind, that he thrust an
iron har into an organ and ruined it.
We had evidence that a freight conduc
tor broke into a car, opened a piano, and
sat and played it ail nignt, stopping at
midnight to eat liis supper off of the
polished top. The same fellow was
thumping a piano iu a dive last night
when captured. Another brakemau,
who lives on Wylie avenue, stole a bolt
of cloth, had a suit made for himself,
and gave the cloth for two other suits to
two of his friends. Another man has
become an expert on a stoleu accorleon.
In all my experience of twenty-nine
years, I never saw such a taste for mis
cellaneous stealing. Everything except
a cofiin and a blacksmith’s anvil has
been stolen and made use of. Some of
our detectives assured me this morning
that not a man was arrested but had
from half-a-dozen to a dozen pairs of
clean socks of the finest quality and a
large assortment of shirts of all kinds.”
The attention of Maj. Barnes is called
to the fact that his predecessor, Mr.
Stephens, had set atloat a lot of curious
coins. A writer in the Globe-Democrat
says: “The Committe on Coinage,
Weights and Measures, which has the
subject in charge, and looks after designs
for improving the coinage in respect to
size, denomination or appearance, fre
quently instructs the Superintendent of
the Mint to execute new patterns or ex
perimental pieces, for inspection, and if
they are deemed worthy of adoption then
the committee frames and introduces
the necessary bill in Congress. Under
this arrangement a series of coins was
devised in 1879,' known as the Stella,
having the value of $4, United States
standard. The design was approved by
the committee and a bill introduced an
ticipating anew metric coin for inter
national use. The coin was the size ot a
nickel, representing‘Liberty head’ turned
to the left on the obverse, with ‘1879’
below, thirteen stars, with figures and
letters interspersed, denoting the pro
duction of gold, alloy, etc.; on the ieverse
above,‘United States of America,’ within
it E Pluribus Unum,’ with a large five
rayed star, ‘Stella,’ in the centre, and
below, ‘One Stella, 400 cents,’ and ‘Deo cst
Gloria,’ and still below, ‘Four Dol.’ This
was struck in proof. The Stella is one of
the set designated metric goloid, the other
being the metric dollar and the goloid
metric dollar. Twenty sets only were
struck early iu 1879, to be submitted by
the committee, a little later 100 sets were
struck, and still later 300 sets were
ordered coined. These were officially
offered to members of Congress and per
sonal and political friends on payment of
their intrinsit value. The 400 sets were
coined in 1880, bearing the date 1879, and
of these about 250 found their 'way into
miscellaneous hands, and the remaining
150 are believed to be still in the vaults.
Ot the origiual twenty sets, a few were
sold as high as SIOO, aucl the prices of
those subsequently coined ranged down
from SSO to $12.50, Separately, the Stella
now sells for about $5, and the set of three
pieces at $6.5G to $7.50. The bill for their
issue, however, failed to become a law.”
EASTER.
Who could imagine a brighter or more
inspiring day than last Easter—this day
that should be so hallowed to all the
world, with all its glorious memories and
sweet suggestions of new life and fuller
hope. It is a pleasant thing to notice
how rapidly the observance of this day
is growing among all religious denomi
nations of this country. It is a glorious
theme. It is the beginning of the sea
son when the fce-locked streams break
into sudden life, and the music of rip
pling waters echo to the song of mating
birds, you hear the cheery peeping of
the little chick, and even the merry
lark sings its pio-creative song more
melancholy than usual. The hyacinth
and crocus are out, the lilac is budding,
and nil vegetation is pregnant with the
water of life. All is growth, rejuvena
tion, resurrection.
And lo! amid the music of the birds,
the murmur of the murmuring waters,
aud the fragrance of the opening flow
ers, comes the grand old song: “I am
the Resurrection and the Life, saith the
Lord ; he that believeth in Me, though
ho were dead, yet shall be live, and
whosoever liveth and believeth in Me
shall never die.”

Notes Nicked From K';chur.gros.
The law-abiding people of Milletlge
villc, becoming tired of the frequent vio
lations of the prohibition law, held a pub
lic meeting last week, and appointed com
mittees to watch out for violators, and
see that they were stoped in their nefa
rious business. The meetings will be
held every fortnight until prohibition
prohibits, so far a9 Milledgeville is con
cerned. The law is mighty but more so
when it is upheld by a good and orderly
citizenship.
The Georgia press will assemble at

A trip to Savannah and Tybee island and

The railroad commission (inter-state)
will he in Atlanta for a day or so very
soon. Their ear is badly wanted just
now by various country towns in regard
to the taking away from them the bene
fits, if there are any, of the new law. If
it is to be a law for the good of the gen
eral people let the little fishes have their
share, for it is upon these that tk larger
towns have long flourished.

Everybody interested in Georgia’s fam
ous well in Taliaferro county will be
glad to learn that arrangements have been
perfected for a seveuty-five room hotel
there and that the building will be ready
for occupancy ou May Ist. Messrs. F. H
and F. B. Scofield, the well known hotel
men, backed by a flue syndicate of capi
talists, have the enterprise in charge.
That the hotel will he first-class in every
respect is guaranteed in the mere men
tion of that fact, and it seems assured
now that Georgia will soon have added
to her fine list of summer resorts another
which possesses features new and attrac
tive. The hotel will stand upon s. ridge
800 feet above the sea level and 200 above
the railroad station. Hilsman, the station,
is on the Barnett branch of the Georgia
road in a beautiful, hidy country, far up
above the malarial sections. In the
neighborhood are splendid springs, one ol
them alum, and on all sides is plenty to
attract and amuse. If the testimony of
some of Georgia's best citizens, and nu
merous other persons who have been re
stored to good health thereby, is conclu
sive, it is established, that for certain dis
eases the electric well is a specific.—Ma

The new policemen are having a hard
time of it in Atlanta, simply because they
are prohibitionists and were appointed by
prohibition commissioners, who were
anxious that prohibition should prevail in
Atlanta, and that the law be given a
fair trial. An exceedingly warm time is
being tendered them, and the blind
tigers are being ably assisted by different
newspaper reporters, The new members
are made the butt of nearly every joke that
appears in the papers while the blind
tiger keepers are laughing iu their sleeves
and raking iu the ducats. The people are
not fooled, however, and are determined
to let the law have a fair chance, even if
lliey have to call in green, instead of
wliiskey-guggling, policemen.

ON TO GAINESVILLE.
All the Arrangement* for Fart of the Ex
tension Completed,
The Rome Courier, of the 12th iust.,
says: “We are reliably informed that all
arrangements for the building of a road
from this city to a point on the W. k A.
railroad have been completed. The new
railroad will be only a part of the exten
sion of the Rome aud Decatur from this
city to Gaiue3ville. This road will start
from Priutup City aud will strike the
W. k A. railroad at Hall’s Mills, or at a
point very near thereby. A corps of
engineers will be put on the line im
mediately, and the work will be rapidly
pushe.l forward, that a connection with
the W. A A. road may be had as soon as
the road from Attaila to this city is
finished. The Romo and Decatur people
are working hard and earnestly in the
building of their lines as rapidly as pos
sible. The road from Attaila to Gadsden
will be finished in a few days, and the
grading from the latter city towards
Rome will be commenced. Already
twenty miles from this city, with the
exception of a few' patches here and
there, have been graded, and as soon aB
the bridge across the Oostauaula is fin
ished, track laying will be recom
menced.”

MI MPS ANI MISERY.
A Yona; Friend who is Experiencing
Trials and Tribulations.
Dear /Aleck:— Tes, it is true, I sup
pose, that I have the mumps. But lam
not ashamed of it. Why should Ibe V
Some people have had worse things than
the mumps and still kept a pretty good
name.
If you could see me, you, too, would
think I had the mumps. My face used to
be long. It is now what might be called
a round, broad lace. Not a jolly, smiling
face; for this is one time in life when
smiles bring tears. I used to read in the
goodie-goodie Sunday school books that
we ought always to “have a smiling face.”
The man who wrote that never had the
mumps. He wouldn’t have given such
cruel advice if he ever experienced a
mump smile.
I thought I couldn’t have the mumps;
I had often been exposed to it—had even
slept with it—and never took it. There
aie other reasons not necessary to be
mentioned here, why I thought I was
mump-proof. Delusive thought! It
slipped up on me like my friend Norris
slips up on a town lot,and caught me un
av. ares. Deceitful friends liad told me
that the mumps was a small thing. How
some people can lie!
I shall never forgive Ab Baker. I
would have been more wary of the
mumps, but Ab told me that I couldn't
catch the mumps, lie said he knew; and
I supposed, if anybody knew, he ought,
judging from his record up to date. But
I guess he has found out from my sad ex
perience that there is nc t ing in his thcoiy.
I notice that he hastens up his speed
as he gets in front of my house. Oue
might think the mumps would come out
and take him right there.
A nice young married man from King
ston came in to see me to-day on busiuess.
I was eating —or rather mumming—my
dinner, (people with mumps never eat);
so aunt Dolly asked him in the parlor,
and after I had gone through the travail of
a few minor motions of my jaws over the
inevitable mush, he came in my room and
I began to apologise for keeping him wait
ing, assuring him that the length of time
a man with the mumps wrestled with his
mush was no sign of the quantity he swal
lowed. lie was sitting in a big rocking
chair, leaning back apparently as happy
and hopeful as any young husband 1 ever
saw, but wh'-n the word “mumps ’ fell on
his ear, he jumped to his feet so quick
that I looked to see if there was a pin in
the seat of the chair. His face blanched
and I thought he would taint. “Mumps!”
he yelled, “mumps!” “Yes,” said I,
“haven’t you had it?,’ But before I got
the words out of my mouth, his hand was
on the door knob. He turned and poked
his head tlir >ugh the crack and shouted
“No,” and walked off faster than he came.
What do you reckon made him so afraid
of tlie mumps?
It is a strange perversity of the fitness of
things that mumps hits the wrong man so
often. Why should I have the mumps?
Why can’t somebody have the pesky
things who ought to have them, and who
wants them?
Now there are Will Howard and Mon
roe Nell, who left their large and growing
l'amilies and came to see me Sunday after
noon. And of all the questions I ever
heard, they asked them about the mumps.
Why on earth are they so anxious to take
the mumps? Y'ou ought to know, Aleck,
for you are an editor—and I don’t be ieve,
like most people, that editors don’t know
nothing.
1 am lying on my back, because the
doctor told me to, tho’ mo3t people seem
to think that members of my profession
lie on their feet; but that is nothing to
the editors, Aleck, for they lie on every
body.
I am resigned to mumps, mush and
misery. I didn’t even get mad when one
came into my room eating a big, sour
pickle. I was even so meek that I de
clined, with tears in my eyes, to help eat
it. My teeth are all here, but as uselsss to
me as the town council is to Cartersville.
My jaws are as idle as a young town nig
ger, and do me about as little good as
local preachers generally do the Metho
dist church.
And yet, Aleck, I am not entirely
wretched. It is hope that inspires me. I
shall get well some day. I shall use my
teeth and jaws on all sorts of eatable s
with an extravagance born only of long
self denial. And, sweetest thought of all,
I shall be able some day to stand up be
fore some jaw-swelled mumpist, laugh at
hi* misery, and gloat over his efforts to
chew mush. Jno. W.Aktn.
Did Henry Steal the Horie?
Our people generally are familiar with
the serious charges made against Henry
Wright, that of stealing the horse of Col.
Sharpe, of Walesca. The affair has created
some discussion, as Henry has for eome
time been preaching over the country.
He is not a regular ordained preacher as
has been stated, and is going it on his
own hook. The horse was missed about
the same time Henry was in the locality
of Col. Sharpe's aud everything points to
his complicity in its disappearance.
Henry sold the horse, as he says, to a Mr
Hall, near Plainville, and says that it was
given him by S. L. Maguire, who claimed
to be a preacher. He ten dollars
for his trouble, which he sent to hi3 wife,
at this place.
Monday Mr. Timmons, pastor of the
Methodist church, here, received the fol
lowing note, bearing the postmark,
“Parksville, Tenn aud written in the
same hand as was Henry’s receipt given
him by Maguire:
Parksville, Tenn , April 5, 1837.
To the Pastor of the M. E. Church, Car
termlle, Ga.:
Dear Brother —The charges which
they have against the Rev. Wright, the
evangelist preacher, are not true. As he
did me a favor, and I believe him to be a
man of God, I write this to you.
Read this to all of his friends, and
oblige, Yours sincerely,
S. L. Maguire.
Henry is in Chattanooga, we learn, at
work and his continued absence causes
many to think that he had some connec
tion with the matter. It is hoped that
the right man will be caught and justice
ba meted out to him. No effort, so far as
we can learn, has been made to overhaul
Henry, as he has been near Cartersville,
hiding out. He admits selling the horse
lor Maguire, but says he did not steal it.

animal probably atrial will develop. He
should be overhauled aud made to ex
plain.

WARD’S WOES.
Maxey’s, Ga , January, 1880.
For twelve or fourteen years I have
been a great sufferer from a terrible form
of Hood poison which ran into the sec
ondary and finally it was pronounced ter
tiary form. My head, face anil shoul
ders became almost a mass of corruption
and finally the disease commenced eating
my skull hones. I became so horribly
repulsive that for three years I absolutely
refused to let people see me I used large
quantities of most noted blood medicines
and applied to nearly all physicians near
me, but my condition continued to grow
worse, and all said that I must surely die.
My bones became the scat of excruciating
aches and pains ; my nights were passed
in misery; I was reduced in Hesh and
strength; my kidneys were terribly de
ranged. and life became a burden to me
1 chanced to see an advertisement of
B. B. B and sent one dollar to W. C.
Birclimore & Cos . merchants of our place,
and they procured one bottle for me, It
was used with decided benefit and when
eight or ten bottles had been used I was
pronounced sound and well
Hundreds of scars can be seen on
me, looking like a inan who had been
burned and then restored. My case was
well known in this country, and for the
benefit of others who may he similarly
affect 1, I think it my duty to give the
facts to the public,and to extend my heart
felt thanks for so valuab e a remedy. I
have been well over twelve months, and
no return of the disease has occurred.
Kobf.rt Ward.
Maxey's Ga , January, 188 G—We, the
undersigned, know Mr Robert Ward, and
take pleasure in saying the facts above
stated by him are true, and that his was
one of the worst cases of Blood Poison we
ever knew in our county and that he has
been cured by the use of B. B B —Bo
tanic Blood Balm.
