About twenty years ago I discovered a little sore on my cheek, and the doctor* pro
nounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma
nent bonctlt. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine tuey applied
wa> like fire to the sore, causing intense j tun. 1 saw a statement in the papers tailing what
JS. S. S. hail dono for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before 1 had used
the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general
health had been hail for two or three years—l hau a hacking cougn ana spit blood contin
ually. I had a severe pam in my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left
me and I grew atoutur than I had been for several years. My cancer lias healed over all but
a little sjiot about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. 1 would advise
every one with cancer to give S. S. S. a fair trial.

THIRTY YEARS AGO.
ORIGINAL ANECDOTES OF NORTH
GEORGIA OF THAT DATE.
A “Hos* Swap” Brings Gus Jones to the
Mourner’s Bench anil Final Convcrtioa.
“H. S. B." In Darien Timber Gazette.]
It was a dear, bright October morn
ing; tt few fleecy clouds dinned each other
overhead, across the deep blue sky, that
is nowhere* bo true a blue as that above
the mountains of North Georgia—that is,
of course, a Georgian's view of the mat
ter, for to him, then'are no moun
tains so symmetrical and worthy of
notice as his. So evidently, thought the
free and independent citizen sitting atop
his rail fence this Sunday morning calm
ly picking his teeth with a splinter; now
gluucing up through the crimson foliage
of the great oak, and then across the
“lot” where the colt was playing and the
little spotted calf blating for his “111a"
newly milked and turned outside, and
who with lief horns was trying to find
her way in again, or a way out of this
difficulty, and like many a human ani
mal, vexing herself iu vain. The farmer
was clad iu the same old way, so dear to
those who live in the mountains, viz:
the longest ami narrowest, of pale blue
trousers strapped high up, nearly to the
armpits, with white, knitted, woolen sus
penders, over the whitest of homespun,
and horns woven cloth; for, being with
out a coat this pleasant day, we can see
the cut and make of this hereditary gar
ment, with its wide square collar, turned
over and buttoned without tie or cravat
by a single whitehorn button. Now, as he
gazed up the long road he lowers his head
a bit and then straightens himself, bring
ing his hand up to shade his eyes from
the glaring shimmer of the atmosphere
along the red hill tops where a moving
object was assuming the form aud pro
portions of a man.
After a long and satisfying look the
farmer struck the brim of his hat a little
settling blow, that brought that
broad, black, wool sombrero square about
liis ears, pulled from his pocket a long
twist of home-made, and catching it with
his left eye tooth wiggled and wrung off
a good sized quid, (which made n lump
in his jaw about the size of a pigeon's
egg), turned it about a time or two and
seemed to await developments with sat
isfaction. The coming mail had
now got near enough to exchange court
esies. The style of drees was about the
same, only this one wore pants of a wal
nut brown tilled on tlie blue warp, the
higli crossed suspenders (galluses) were
of blue yarn and a coat of pepper and
suit indigo gray was swung across one
shoulder. The farmer's eyes brightened
as he approached; and seut a direct
stream of amber fluid across the road
directly* iu front of him.
Then having fired this shot of welcome
across his bows he further brought him
to with the usual greeting. “Why,howdy,
howdy, whar'd you cum from?”
“Howdyjistfrum home—how’syo folks?”
and the new comer edged up against the
fence, propped oue foot on the third rail,
drew his big one bludod knife and began
to chip splinters. Silence a few seconds—
then lifting his head seemed to wait for
an answer—“middlin, middlin, aint hearn
no great complaint,” strecliing out a
long shank, then following it with the
rest of his body until he stood by his
companion. Both men turned and put
their arms ou the fence, looking ever into
the paddock, then the speaker added.
“Your’n all about, I recken?” “Prime
since cool whether sot in,” said number
two, looking away off at nothing up the
road aud scratching softly’ behind his
ear. Turning his head again he con
tinued. “Sal, she got kinder peaked
arter oampmeetin’, there’s sich a power
o’ cooking and turnin’ round, them
times for the wimin folks, it plum wars
’em out. That thar’s a tine young crit
ter o* yourn,Mr,Echols.” “That ar colt's
wuth rasin, the old woman helped to
raise him an ’lows lie's got scnce anuff
to vote.” Both men grin and if yon don’t
kuow that grin how shall it be described?
That mirthless skinning back of the up
per lip that drives the muscles of the nose
crazy and puckers them into a V at the
top of the nose, squeezing the eyes and
exposing the straggling or long yellow
teeth. Recovering from this farmer
Echols resumes. “Had a purty good
meetiu’ at Camp Creek, I recken.” “Now
you're talkin’, why 1 ’low thar was up
wards o’ six hundred right close to the
stand. You heerd about Gus Jones?”
“No I httin't, what's he done?” “Got re
ligiou.” “Go ’long, you’re jokin.” “Nary
a time, judge, Gus is got religion, er my
uame aint Bill Smithers.” “Why’ how
on yeth did he get it?” and tho speaker
dim lied up on his fence again, Bill swung
alongside and both went to chippin’
bark ou the limbs near them. “Why the
great jewhflikius’, I thought you'd a
hern before this time o’ day. He got
ketched es slick es goose grease. You
jist put a Methodist circkit rider to ketch
a horse trader. Gus was all round the
skearts o’ the camp ground a bullyin
and cavortin and trying to swap off his
old roan fur some feller’s good boss when
long come Brother Benson. Gus kinder
sneaked off and wus kinder slidiir along
when Brother Benson call him. he did, an
sez oe: ‘Hold on, Mr. Jones, good-day.’
‘Good-day, sir,' sez Gus, lookin kinder
foolish. ‘They say, brother Jones, that
you’ve been fellin’ as how you’ve got a
tresty, steddy boss to sell or swap that’d
jist suit a cirkit rider,’ sez brother Ben
son. ‘You’re talkin,’ *oz Gus, ‘she’s the
surest-footed animal fur mountain travel
you ever got stride of, qp she'll live on es
little.’ ‘Well, L haiut no time to swap
now,' sez the preacher, ‘but don’t you let
nobody hurry you outen a good bargain.
You jist come to meetiu and set close to
whar 1 set to keep me from furgettin an
we'll talk bimeby about a trade.’ “Mas
sy sakes! Take a chew o' mine! take it;
that's tebaker! Wurth two o’ Kits, lots
better than the lickerish truck they sell up
yunder; but tell on bout Gus, did
he go to meetiu.” “Went, sot
right tliar sho pop, nigh miff ter tech the
preacher, l ight whar they was all a pray
in' an preach in' an exhortin. Went, sir,
two nights an a day and when they all
got to prayin the next night, Gus he
went at it too. Mr. Benson says, ‘That
is right, Bro. Jones, I aint forgot, don’t
lie in a hurry and don't let that roan go.
Y'ou keep cumin’till I get time to trade.
May the Lord bless you and keep you in
yore present state uv mind.’ Thar wus
sum tittrin round amongst us, ’twan’t
the first boss Gus had swopped.” “No, sir,
hossfly, he most made me tech bottom
wunst, an you ain’t fur behind, nuther,
but g’loiig with yer corn song.” “ ’Bout
Gus—oh! I wus saying: That wus a
Friday night, and Sat’day thar was Gus
at early meetiu an all day, on at night he
was powerful bad off axin people to pray
fur him and eallin hisself the vilest of sin
ners and beggin tell all the preachers got
to prayin fur him an talking to him an
Brother Benson wus mighty hard at
work on him and told him how good the
Lord \\hh to him, and seze, ‘Brother
Jones you said that roan would jist be
a tresty, stiddy animal fur a eircket lidor
like me au—. ‘lt burnt, if haiut, I lied,
hollers Gus,‘l wouldn't cheat you, thn t
boss out kicks the devil! I'll keep her al

J ones, stick by a critter that kin out
[ kii-k the devil anl you'll ride safe in the
right pin ■ ut last.' Folks s,-s tliars a
; heap of difference since Brother Benson
J headed him thar.” “Whar'd Brother
: Beuion cum from?" “Over in Town's,
! his father married Nancy Weaver and
lived in Union county tel Jim wus putty
nigh growned. anil he was always the
beariuest boy.”
SENATOR JOE BROWN.
How Georgia's Wealthy- Senator Has
l*Ued up a Fortune, the Amount of
Which Nobody Knows.
The Philadelphia Press in enumerating
the rich men of the south has this to say
of our long-haired senator:
Senator Brown is not by any means to
be neglected j u considering wealthy rail
road men of the south, indeed, a great
many people will say that he ouht to be
put first. His interests ait* wonderful
even to people who are used to hearing
about Wall street kings, aud the esti
mates of his money run away up toward
f15,000.000. Nobody really knows how
rich be is. The nearest approach ever
made to the discovery was when au At
lanta reporter, with enterprise far l>o
yond his discretion, undertook to flu,l
out by asking the old gentlemen him
self. “Senator,” said he when he had
got firmly seated in the senator's office
one evening, “ people say you are very
wealthy, and in writing about you I
would like to say whether you are worth
one million or two.”
"M.v son,” said the old man reflectively,
with a mixture of sympathy and benevo
lence in his toue, “ a million dollars is a
mighty big- lot of money,” and that was
the valuable information the young man
carried away with him.
To tie seen at his best, the senator
ought to l>e pictured on one of the roads
near his plantation, with one foot on
the hub of a one-ox cart and his silk hat
far enough on the back of his head to let
the fanner's family in the front seat see
the full expanse of his brow. His black
coat-tails then dangle down unaffectedly
and his long white beard furnishes em
ployment for tho hand that is not occu
pied in holding- on to the cart. He talks
that way about the crops and the Bap
tist meetings to a great many of the
farmers he meets, and seems to like the
talking just as well as the farmers do.
They are all for him for anything, and
will see that he goes back to the senate
as long as he w ishes to.
Senator Brown is the most remarkable
mania the south. He has been success
ful in everything. He went into the rail
road business and became president of
the best line, and, in fact, almost all the
lines of his state. He tried politics, was
governor, and is United States senator
with a life lease. Asa jurist his abilities
were unquestioned; as a manufacturer
he put his mills at the head of the estab
lishments in his section; as a coal opera
tor He is probably the largest individual
owner of paying mines in the southern
regions. His business facilities, estimated
in dollars and cents, are as good as those
of any man who started with him and
suffered the reverses of the war, and his
religon faculties, estimated by his in
fluence, extend further, probably than
those of any other man in the Baptist
church of the south. He is slow in his
movements, but his mind is versatile.
To mention his business enterprises would
be to give a list of nearly all the paying
concerns in Georgia and Southeast Ten
nessee. He is head of the Western and
Atlantic railroad, the line from Chatta
nooga to Atlanta; the owner of a line
which transport his own coal; the pow
erful stock holder in the Dade Coal Com
pany; The president of the Rising Fawn
Furnace company, with its great tracts
of ore; President of the Chattanooga
Iron company, and in short, in so many
other enter]irises that his name crops up
in every mention of iron, coal or railroad
interests in the three states. Hi* is ap
parently not thoroughly appreciated at
Washington among the noisier talkers
of the senate, but traveling through’ this
country one is forced to know something
of his immense power.
Smu .Jones on YY’hlsky Selling.
Rev. Sam Jones, in one of his sermons
at the great Rome revival last week said,
among other things that: “I will never
sell whisky, I will steal before I will sell
a drop of w hisky. Everybody that en
dorses that stand up. (About 2,000
stood up.) I will never sell whisky, but
if l was going to, I would come right to
Rome. I would first get a Presbyterian
elder for mayor, and I would make up
the council of Baptist vestrymen and
Methodist pastors, aud when I did, I
would have my license put in my coffin
with me, and when God called me to ac
count 1 would show him my license, aud
tell him I didn’t know it was a sin, my
license were signed up by Presbyterian
elders, and Baptist deacons, and Tioil
will put the whole shebang in hell. We
want to work up this county against
whisky. You members of the church who
won’t take any stand, I am not going to
vote on either side. You miserable hound
you, if you are a member of the church
of Jesus Christ, you are as low down us
any devil in hell. And you have some
members that vote straight out for
whisky. I have a little respect for you,
but I would have a great (leal more for
you, if you would take your name off of
the books of Gods church; you old skunk;
you—and if your moral nature is as rot
ten as the petrification of your carcass,
you will stink like carion, and I would
not come in a mile of you.”
Anniston, Ala., is about to “astound
and astonish” the people of this country
into speechless wonder at the sight of a f
“most magnificent and unparalleled un
dertaking.” The undertaking in ques
tion is intended to advertise Anniston.
A train, consisting of an engine, a flat
car, a gondola, a freight car, stock car,
a mail and baggage car, an express car,
a passenger coach, a buffet car, and a
boudoir car, all made in Anniston of
material found in the neighborhood, will
be run from Anniston to New York, and
thence to Canada, Detroit, Cincinnati,
Louisville, Nashville, aud then back to
the starting point. The cars will be
painted red, and besides a number of
distinguished guests, will contain samples
of Alabama products. A representative
of the Hot Blast will go along, and w ill
distribute 100,000 copies of that paper.
At Washington a stop will be made in
order to allow President Cleveland “and
his beautiful wife" to inspect “this gorge
ous and unprecedented undertaking,”
about which “in no way is there the wild
Utopian fancy of Oriental dreamers,
whose castles aud palaces and grand and
beautiful achievements ever float away
from possession or enjoyment like tho
mirages of the desert.”
Another “Combine” Strike fob $15,000
The Quaker City has several times
shown the falsity that “lightning never
strikes twice in the same place." Not
long ago a combination of Lombard
and South stH., Railroad conductors
drew $15,000 in The Louisiana State
Lottery, but the drawing on Tuesday,
April 12th. has proven a still greater
windfall in one-tenth of the $150,000
capital prize, to a combination of thir
teen men, employed by the firm of Goodell
& Waters, machinery manufacturers,
Hamilton, above Fifteenth Sts. Most of
the members of the club, although not
iu want, are men of very moderate means,
and the *l,l 53 which each will soon re
ceive, will, no doubt, be put to good use.

MAKING ROME HOWL.
How Ev. Sam Joiat 1c Stirring up the
Mountain City.
i Home Courier.
After Mr. Small had finished, Rev. Sam
Jones arose and made a few characteris
tic remarks, giving an idea of what may
lie exjieeted at the tabernacle services.
He thought it bad taste to fall out with
the preacher about anything he had said.
Many had fallen out with him who he
would not have known was in the house
if they had not come growling to him.
“Jesus paid it all" was the song of so
many. The fact is he j ust paid to where
you commenced, and you have got to
finish payment for it.
•‘You give me the six preachers in this
town and l will preach whiskey out of it
in twelve mouths.” After saying this he
gave his ideas of preachers. lie would
rather be a one-tenth preacher aud a nine
tenths man than to lie eleven-tenths
preacher and no man at all. He thought
before he was converted that a preacher
was almost an angel; that their little
white wings began to sprout after they
preached their first sermon; but they are
just as full of human nature as the bal
ance of you. The more religion a man
has the more backbone he has.
“You are going to get the gosjiel here,
and if you don’t like what is said you
know where you eau get smooth-sunning

until she is within a half mile of hell.”
“I want to say to you that five hun
dred places from Boston to San Fran
cisco have made us offers to come, but
we have turned aside to come to Home
to do you good. Now don't you put on
any airs and snv you don't like those
mountebanks. Bless your soul, honey,
I've got a contempt for your word.
After a fellow has been around and spent
weeks in Chicago, and then to the Hub

sings of God and the people, and for lit
tle old Rome to say, T am not going to

and never know you were there*. You
would feel like a toothpick.”
In conclusion, Sam Julies advised his
audience to take his words home with
them, and come back at night. But lie
said: “If you don’t want to come, stay
at home. If you had not come this
afternoon we never would have missed
you, and it makes no difference whether
you come or not.”
MONDAY MORNING SERVICE.
Rev. Sam Jones again occupied the
pulpit yesterday at the 10 o’clock morn
ing service. He took as his text the
second verse, seventh chapter Second
Corinthians; “Receive us; we have
wronged no man, we have corrupted no
man, we have defrauded no man."
Mr. Jones gave us his translation of
the text: “We have wronged no man
with our tongue, we have corrupted no
man by our example, we have defrauded
no man in our business transactions,”
aud taking one by one of these propo
sitions he built a sermon most powerful
and convincing.
The speaker said that having so many
unconverted people iu the church was the
curse of the world. It wus an awful
thing to fill the church with unconverted
people—an awful thing to pull the fence
down end let every one in.
Spirituality ought to be at a premium.
Yet look at the stewards, deacons, elders
and vestrymen of this city and tell me
how many of them occupy their positions
on account of their spirituality, or
whether they were chosen because they
were men of means, shrewdness and tact.
I've no doubt the devil likes to nominate
every church official of the land. I can
point out blossom nosed individuals oc
cupying high positions. Here is a place
to reform the church. Don’t try to re
form it from the top to the bottom, but
go from the bottom up. If this can’t lx*
done, you shouid resigh and get in the
ranks. A church is not successful unless
it has a live preacher and a live board of
officials.
There are fellows in this town talking
about churches, how the churches should
be conducted, etc., who belong to no
church at all. He didn’t care what bush
whackers say about it. If you want to
reform the church come ou the inside.
Luther set out to reform the Roman
Catholic church and died on the inside.
John Wesley set out to reform the
Episcopal church and died on the inside
of it.
The matter in Rome is, you have too
many churches. Brother Kendall has
two churches and Brother Headden has
the same number. Brother Kendall has
one list of members Written down and
ou the inside of this is another list.
Turningto Dr. Kendall he asked: “Have
you of your membership of six hundred,
fire hundred and fifty on the inside who
are concentrated Christians? I mean
instead of five hundred and fifty, have
you fifty? If you have that many we
can take this town.
The preacher said he wanted to preach
practical religion. Turning to the female
portion of his congregation he
said: “Sister, if everybody knew what
you said about them you wouhl’t have a
friend in town. If you knew what every
body said about you you would bundle
up and leave town.
“The tongue is the last thing con
quered. All reptiles and animals can be
tamed, but the tongue can never be.
The man who M ould slip inside of your
room and steal a dollar out of your
pocket is a gentleman beside the one who
would besmirch character.
“We have corrupted no man by ex
-ample." The shaker.gave sevetat sfrik
ing illustrations of this part of the fext,
and in the latter part, “Defraud no man,”
he drove several strong truths home.
He advised all to do the clean thing
every time.
Ex-Governor William Smith died at
h is home near Warrinton, Ya., in hie 90th
year. Governor Smith has been prom
inant in Virginia politics for more than
sixty year's. He was born in that State
and educated at Plainfield Academy,
Conn, lie studied law, but made a for
tune by running a line of stages from
Virginia to Georgia. He entered the
State Legislature in 1836, Congress in
1842 and became Governor of Virginia
in 184.1, He re-entered Congress in 1856
and was re-entered till the secession of
Virginia in 1861._ He was a brigadier
general in the Confederate army and was
wounded at Antietan, after which he re
tired from active service in the field and
was made Governor again. He. was
widely known by the nickname of
“Extra Billy,” and was univeisally pop
ular among democrats. He was buried
at Richmond.
Thk Bar, a liquor paper of New York,
says: “The prohibition movement has
made such progress that not only has it
imposed its tyranical laws upon several
of the greatest states in the I’nion, but
figured threateningly in national polities
and made the amendment to the federal
constitution possible and probable.”
The best medical writers claim that
the successful remedy for nasal catarrh
must be non-irritating, easy of applica
tion, ami one that will by its own action,
reach all the remote sores and ulcerated
surfaces. The history of the efforts to
treat catarrh during the past few years
obliges us to admit that only one remedy
has completely met these' conditions,
and that is Ely’s Cream Balm. This safe
and pleasant remedy has mastered ca
tarrh as nothing else has ever done, and
both physicians and patients freely con
cede this fact. The more distressing
symptoms quickly yield to if.
All Light There.
M. L. Kayne in tlu* Detroit Free Press.]
Children are happy counselors! They
me to our hard, practical, every-day
Hvc.h what the stare are to the heavens,
or the flowers and birds to the earth.
All! what would the world be to ns
If the children were no mare?
We should dread the desert behind us
Worse than the dark before.
There is a family in this city who art 1
dependent at this moment upon a little
child for all the present sunshine of their
lives.
A few weeks ago the voting wife and
mother was stricken down to die.
It was so sudden, so dreadful when the
grave family physician called them to
gether in the parlor, and in his solemn
professional way intimated to them the
truth —there was no hope.
Then the question arose among them,
who would tell her?
Not the doctor! It would be cruel to
let the man of science goto their dear one
on such an errand.
Not the aged mother, who was to be
left childless and alone.
Nor the young husband, who was
walking the floor with clenched hands
and rebellious heart.
No—there was only one other, and at
thiH moment he looked up from the book
he had been playing with unnoticed by
them all and asked gravely:
“Is my mamma doin' to die?”
Then, without waiting for answer, he
sped from the room and upstairs as fast
as his little feet would carry him.
Friends and neighbors were watching
by the Hick woman. They wonderingly
noticed the pale face of the child as he
climbed on the bed and laid his small
head on his mother’s pillow.
‘‘Mamma,” he uskinl in sweet, caressing
tones, “is you ’fraid to die.”
The mother looked at him with swift
intellingence. Perhaps she had been
thinking of this.
“Who —told—you—Charlie?” she asked
faintly.
“Doctor mu' papa an' gamma—every
body,” he whispered. “Mamma, dear
ittle mamma, (loan' be 'fraid to die, 'ill
you?”
“No, Charlie,” said the young mother,
after one supreme pang of grief; “no,
mamma won't be afraid !"
“Jus’ shut your eyes in e’ dark, mam
ma; keep hold my hand —an’ when you
open'em, mamma, it'll be all light there.”
When the family gathered awe-stricken
at the bedside, Charlie held up his little
hand.
“Hu-s-h! My mamma doan’ to sleep.
Her won’t wake up here any more!”
And so it proved. There was no heart
rending farewell, no agony of parting,
for when the young mother woke she had
passed beyond, and, as baby Charley
said: “It was all light there!”
TIIE TENTH OF 850,000.

Anffustu ((in.) Chronicle, April HO.
Of course a majority of our citizens are
opposed to gambling, but there is consid
erable pleasure when you try it to know
that you are going to play a game that
is fair. Clifford J. Tweedy, the colored
boy who was the lucky holder of the one
tenth of ticket 23,899 —the second capital
prize of $50,000 —received about a week
ago his one-tenth, or $5,000, and our
readers would perhaps like to know some
thing of this colored boy who was the
lucky holder of the one-tenth of ticket
23,899 —the second capital prize of SSO
- about, a week ago his one
tenth, or $5,000, and our readers would
perhaps like to know something of this
colored boy's life, and how he won the
prize, and what he has done and intends
doing with his money.
Clifford is a likely colored boy, about
twenty-ons or twenty-two years of ago
and was raised by Mr. Henry T. Peav,
with whom he has been for the past six
teen years. At the time of his drawing
the $5,000 he was in the employ of Mr.
Peay, getting $H per month. He has re
tained his position with Mr. Peay, and
does his work as faith hilly as ever.
After receiving his $5,000 he deposited
$4,000 in the Georgia Railroad Rank
and took one thousand dollars and di
vided a portion of it amongst his poor
colored relations. Re it to his credit too,
he did not forget his employer, Mr. Peay,
to whom lie gave a present of fifty dol
lars.
He says with the four thousand dol
lars that he has deposited in the Georgia
Railroad he intends to buy Augusta real
estate, another sign that he has a level
head. In answer to the question how
much lie had invested before winning, be
replied that he had bought a ticket regu
larly every month for the last fifteen
months, and it was the fifteenth dollar
that did the work. Augusta (Ga.) Chron

Considering the immense difficulties the
(.’onfederates had to encounter, the navy
department did wonders. Themetal that
was indispensable went up from $25 a
ton to $3,000, and was very scarce and
insufficient. And yet eighteen yards for
building vessels were established. First
year it constructed the Merrimac and
forty-two gunboats, and many floating
defences. The personnel of the navy con
sisted of 9 captains, 25 commanders, 24
lieutenants, one chief engineer, etc., in all
87. The Federal navy, on the other
hand, was almost without limit. It was
the want of a navy, as much as anything
else, that defeated the South, next to the
fact that over 400,000 men from the
South fought on the Yankee side. If
every man in the South capable of bear
ing arms had been made to fight, the
South would have whipped any way, for
it would have had at least a million of
men, and they would have been quite
enough.

tried to join one of the colored churrln*

upon as rather a hard case, one of the
brothers was deputized to talk with her
and report on her conversion. It seemed
that the church unfortunately selected h
deacon who owed old Topsie a long
standing debt, and as soon us she saw
him her ire was aroused, and she turned
her battery of abuse and profanity loose
on the deacon and the church, showering
a frightful benediction on the congrega

denounced them as a bed of liars, thieves
and hypocrites, and said she would go
and join a rival church.

Atlanta Journal: The recent affecting
incident which is now appealing so
strongly to the sympathy of every liigb
minded citizen, forcibly suggests that a
meinoriaJjshould be prevented to the next
General Assembly to provide for a fund,
by general taxation, for the relief of
Georgia Confederate soldiers—Those men
who, “while martyrs for conscience sake,
are reejKH-ted for their valor and de
votion, and admired by the good ami the
brave.” There is no class of citizens
throughout the entire Stute who will so
eagerly and heartily endorse such a me
morial as the Federal soldiers, who so
thoroughly tested the valor and devo
tion of these heroes, and who are now
located among them as adopted) fellow
citizens of the same commonwealth.
There is a unanimous desire among the
people of the North who have give their
capital and east their lots among tho
people of Georgia to give a practical
demonstration of their desire to aid in
establishing a New South that shall
know no sectional lines, and their appre
ciation of the fact that the interests of
the whole people §r*‘ identical. The dis
abled Federul.soldier, are very properly
being cared for by a grateful national
government in which each State has an
equal interests. Georgia should do no
less for the men who became martyrs to
her cause. She is abundently able to do
so now, and can no longer afford to
neglect her duty in this matter. The
bureau which the General Assembly
would establish to take charge of this
sacred fund should also be authorized to
receive private subscriptions and it will
be found that generous, warm-hearted
responres will be received from every
section of the country, prominent among
which will l*e found those from members
of the Grand Army of the Republic.
