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. Ylus. NANCY J.

CAKTERSVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1887. 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 ways myself fust*’ ‘Oh, yes, Brother 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. —Philadelphia (Pa) Inquirer, April 18, Thompson—“ Suppose a man should call you a liar what would you do?” Jonct—“What sized man?” 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 gospel. But old Rome has run on now 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 of the Universe, and received the bles sings of God and the people, and for lit tle old Rome to say, T am not going to have anything to do with these mounte banks.' 1 can put you in my vest pocket 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.

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. llow a Colored Hoy Became K oh, and the Kflect Ills Wealth lias Had Upon tliin--One Dollar in tlie Lou isiana State Lottery.

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.

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.

From the Wilmington (N. C.) Star.] 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.

An old mulatto woman named Topsio tried to join one of the colored churrln* at Athens lately, but ns she was looked 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 tion as she sailed out of the door. She 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.
