THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1887.
Edwin Booth and Lawrence Barrett
are starring together this season.
Col. Fred Grant has been nominated
by (lie republicans of New York, for the
office of Secretary of State.
Whitfield county will vote upon the
prohibition question again this fall. The
result is not doubtful. She will remain
in the front rank of prosperous, happy

Thk people of Georgia, with their
usual display of energy and enterprise
are now keeping on exhibit a very old
legislature at a daily expense of over
SBOO. It goes without saying it will be
a great attraction at the Piedmont
“exposish.”
A member of the Georgia Legislature,
from a south Georgia county, has told a
reporter that he has weather boarded his
pants four times since the present session
commenced. If he doesn’t get home
pretty soon his exasperated constituency
will no doubt feel like creating a demand
for st ill another.
Tub Tuskegee News and Mail thus
voices the importance of diversity
in agriculture and importance: “Prop
erty is decreasing in value in all coun
ties where the all cotton system prevails
and increasing wherever manufacturing
industries heve been established and
farm products diversified.’
Two hundred firemen are holding their
annual convention in Atlanta this week.
They are respectfully requested to turn
the hose on the indistinguished and
long lived Georgia Legislature, that is
said (o be sitting just now and which the
people are sustaining at a dead loss of
SBOO per day. Turn on the hose!
What this country most needs,at pres
ent, is a good hemp rope around the
neck of Kerr Most, the anarchist and
socialist, and swung to the highest limb
of some tree. Kis speech in New York
the other day, in which he counselled his
followers to resort to arms and the torch,
was an outrage upon society and law.
Nym Crinkle, in the current Mirror, is
very sarcastic on the society women who
adopt the stage. “You’d think, ’’ he
says, “that she was getting out of her
coach at a big dry goods store. She
says in effect: ‘l’ll take four yards of
reputation and six yards of criticism.
That’s a very nice roll. I’ll take that.
Send me a double recall and a trium
phant success. How much please.”
Thk Philadelphia Times recently said,
concerning another important point in
advertising, as follows: “Large adver
tising is done by many business men in
cheap newspapers, simplv because it is
cheap, an ft Tney imagine turn tney are
doing just the right thing to gather
trade; but they forgot that cheap ad
vertising is always the most costly, for
cheap advertising is cheap only because
it offers little benefit to advertisers.”
Birmingham Herald: Georgia is
troubled with a legislature that is too
long lived. They have a remedy for that
sort, of thing in Tennessee, which, if Geor

Monroe Johnson, Ihe colored man
whose arrest for murdering Mrs. Foster,
in Calhoun county, Ala., we chronicled
last week, was being conveyed to the
scene of his crime last Sunday when the
train was stopped by masked men, the
negro taken out and hanged to a con
venient tree. The lynchers did not at
tempt to take the chains off the negro,
but pulled the seat on which he sat from
the floor of the car, and took chain
seat and all. He protested his innoeense
to the last, but the evidence was eonclu

Fulton is to vote on the prohibition
question again. A petition, signed by
the requisite number of voters, has bran
filed with Ordinary Calhoun, and he has
ordered the election to take place on
November the 30th. The prohibitionists
throughout the State have but little ap
prehension ns to the result this time,
rhey know that wherever the benign in
flueiices of prohibition are felt, as they
have been in Atlanta, the good people
of that thriving and wide awake city will
not suffer them removed, if zeal ami
earnest work can prevent it.
All indications point to general pros
perity throughout the country. It is
generally believed that there will be a
fall trade of unusual volume. The manu
factories of every class of goods are
running on full time, and the product
is unusually large. The crops, though
they have suffered much from one cause
and another, bid fair to be above an
average yield, and so great apprehen
sion h mid be felt on that score. The
wholesale dealers in New York, say that
buyers were never so numerous or pur
chases more abundant, and everything
looks prosperous for a booming fall
trade.
Pension Commissioner Peace in his
annual report makes a number of recom
mendations for legislation in the line of
greater liberalty to the pensioner, among
others that additional cerical force be
allowed to enable the Commissioner,
without making extra demands upon
the clerks now in the service to complete
and satisfy the Mexican pension claims,
of which 8,000 have been allowed since
the passage of the act. At the dost* of
Ihe year 408,180 pensioners were on the
rolls classified as follows, 204,445 army
invalids, 85,501 army widows, minor
children and dependent relatives 1,009
survivors of the war of 1812, and 11,831
widows of those who served in that war;
* ,503 survivors of the war with Mexico
and 895 widows of those who served In
s .id war. There were added to the rolls
during the year the names of 55,194
new {tensioners, and the names 0f2,707
whose jwMisions had been previously
dropped were restored to the rolls.
During the same period the names of
17.077 pensioners wore dropped from the
rolls for various causes. The amount
paid for pensions during the year was
$73,467,581, an increase in the amount
over the previous year of $9,668,750.
In the aggregate 1,091,200 pension
claims have been filed since 1801, and in
the same period 676,948 claims of all
classes have been allowed. An appro
priation of $79,045,530 is asked for the
next fiscal year. That is the current
year was $78,701,250.

Is Woolfolk Guilty?
A considerable sensation has been
created by the arrest in Canton, of a des
perate negro character, by the name of
Jack Du Bose, who confesses to many
crimes, among them, a knowledge of,
and a participation in the Woolfolk trag
edy. In this negro, and his confessions
Mr. Walker, Tom Woolfolk‘s lawyer,
thinks that lie has solved the mystery of
the great crime. He has just returned
from Canton, where he had a long inter
view with the prisoner, and says that he
obtained from him information that
would not only implicate Du Dose, but
three others in the killing. The negroes
description of the positions of the bodies,
as they were left after the killing, Mr.
Walker claims to be so nearly correct,
that it goes far towards confining his
belief in the truth of his statements con
cerning the affair generally.
Whether or not lawyer Walker has
succeeded in finding a key to the commis
sion of this blackest of crimes, is a ques
tion yet to be developed. The negro
Du Bose, not only confesses to every
crime known to the catalogue, but to
being an escaped convict. He has con
fessed to so many crimes that have never
been committed, to having served in
eliaingangs, "the records of which give no
account of him, that his sanity is
doubted.
It will take more than this half witted
negroes statements and confessions to
make the public believe Tom \V oolfolk is
not guilty.

Mrs. Hattie Moon—A Memorial.
Mrs. Hattie Goodwin Moon, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Win. L. Goodwin, was
born August 19, 1859, in Marietta,
(Ja., and died September 6, 1887, in
Cartersville, Ga. She was married in
Huntsville, Ala., November 25, 1880
to ('has. A. Moon, with whom she lived
in happy wedlock until her death. Four
children were given her, two of whom
preceded her to the realms of light. She
was soundly converted and joined the
Methodist Church in Cartersville in 1876,
since which time her life has been “hid
with Christ in God.” Asa child she was
sympathetic and gentle; as a maiden,
gracious and attractive; as a wife, loyal
and true; as a mother, patient and de
voted. And in all the relations of life,
she exhibited each of these ennobling
virtues.
It was my good fortune to know her
from early childhood. There was barely

was my first school-mate, and,for several
of youth’s sweet halcyon years, my near
est neighhor. She was married to my ,
desk-mate at school, and taught a class
in the Sunday-School of which I was
superintendent. i
1 knew her well, and such was the (
friendship between us that, to the end of
her short but well-spent life, we addressed
each other by our ehistian names. It is, I
therefore, a melancholy pleasure to me to
pay this tribute to the serene sweetness
of her heart and life. Rarely was more
of gentleness, of purity, of patient ten
derness, commingled m one person. As l
recall so many incidents in her life, I can
not remember a single harsh or unkind
word from her lips, nor a single moment
of ruffled temper. Never have I known a
woman of more unbroken placidity. This
is rare praise, but it is richly merited.
The bufferings of adversity, the torturing
cares of affliction, the pangs of bereave
ment, corrode many a heart, but hers re
tained its serenity to the end.
She was an unusually pious woman,
lathe Sunday-school, she felt a concern
for the spiritual welware of her scholars.
She was faithful to this trust. In her
own home she was accustomed to offer
the morning and evening sacrifice on the
family altar. A personal experience of
religion was hers, and Christ was to her a
present Savior.
“Whom the Lord loveth He chasten
eth.” And so Kis chastening fell on her.
The death of two children, the continued
illness of her husband, divers cares and
distresses, came upon her, but through it
all she leaned on the arm of God and
came out “mare than conqueror.
In the midst of this gloom, light broke
in upon her. After two weeks illness of
gastric fever, she fell asleep. Men call it
death. But I cannot think of it so. To
me the beloved of God never die! The
grave is not their home. They live for
ever with tin* Lord.
Ah, what consolation is this! May it
fall gently as the dews of Hermon on the
bruised hearts of her loved ones. One of
these days God shall wipe away our tears.
We shall see and clasp to our hearts
again those sweet forms w hose partings
grieved us sore. In hope of that bright
morn, at whose approach the shades of
night forever fiee, we lift our faces tow ard
the hill of God, and say, “It is the Lord ;
let Him do what seemeth Him good.”
Blessed be llis name, forever and ever!
John W. Akin.
Gentlemen, we have got something

AMERICANIZED* IRISHMAN.
Martin Doyal, Clever Irish Laddie,
Makes Himself ail American Citizen.
Martin Doyal, ayounglrish lad, landed
in this country five years ago, poor in
pocket book but rich in prospect. Mar
tin, soon after landing, found a good
home with Mr. Watt Harris, jr., the
clever solicitor in Cartersville, where he
has by hard work, diligently looking
after the interests of his employer, pros
pered and bids fair to make a fine record
for himself that he will not be ashamed
of. He is a young man of excellent de
portment, of good moral character, and
makes a citizen most to be desired.
At a late term of our Superior court,
Martin asked for and received his natu
ralization papers, renouncing his allegi
ance to Queen Victoria and swearing
fidelity to the freest and best country
the world ever saw. Martin is proud of
his papers and says he is mighty glad
that he is allowed the privilege to be one
of the best people he ever saw. He has
prospered by hard work and bids fair to
do considerable good. He has posted
the friends over in his old home, Gowran,
Kilkennsy county, Ireland, of his success
and tin 1 prospects are that several smart,
hard working lads will soon land in Car
tersville to emulate the example of Mar
tin. Homes have been secured among
good citizens and they will probably ar
rive this fall or winter.
1787 THEN AND NOW 1887
The Celebration of the Constitu
tional Centennial.
Tin- Orfat (jailieriii); in Philadelphia to
110 llourr o the Constitution of
Our Country.
Philadelphia, Sept. 17. 1887.
On the seventeenth day of September,
seventeen and eighty-seven, the Constitu
tion of the United States was signed in
this historic city of Philadelphia and j
given to the country. To-day around
Independence Hall, in this same city
hundreds of thousands of people are as
sembled to celebrate the one hundreth
anniversary of that constitution.
I wish it were in my power to picture
the scene. It is a great occasion, and a
great gathering of people. Never before
have 1 looked upon such a scene, and
never again do I exjiect to see its like. I
cannot tell you how many people are
here. No one knows. Like the host that
John saw in his vision, it is an innumera
ble company that no man could number.
They swell v id sway like a wheat field
touched by the wind, every where, on
every side, almost as far as the eye can
sweep, they swarm as thick as leaves.
Old Independence square is full and over
flowing, and yet they come. From Chest
nut str<**t and Market, and Walnut and
Arch; from Fifth street and Sixth and
Seventh and Eighth; from Ciynden and
the Delaware, from the Schuylkill, the
Keighths, and from everywhere they
come. Such a multitude! Strain the
eyes and look, mid still it is but a sea of
I laces, Verily may they be compared to
! the sands of the seashore.
As the morning wears along they grow
restless for the ceremonies to commence.
At ten o'clock the Marine band, of Wash
ington, takes position at the great stand.
They play a patriotic air and this gives
the throng an opportunity to vent their
pent-up enthusiasm. Then comes two
thousand boys who are to sing a chorus.
Following these are two thousand men
who are also to sing. Each of these get
rounds of applause. Then comes the
Supreme Court, Senators ami Governors.
I Governor Beaver, of Pennsylvania, is
j greeted with great enthusiasm, and each
Governor in turn has constituents and
, friends in the crowd who give him gener
! ous applause. But now there is an un
i usual ripple near the great stand that is
caught up and carried back and back
until it amounts to an ovation. Is it the
I President ? The eyes are strained to see.
But no, the form is not that of Cleveland,
j It is tall and commanding, and the face
is gracious and beaming. Who is he?
I Ah, they have it! “Gordon! Gordon!
Gordon!” The shout rings through the
shimmering leaves of the grove and is
sent up again and again. Yes, it is our
gallant Gordon who stirs this enthu
siasm.
But the form most anxiously looked
for is that of the President. Finally he
comes, accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland.
Then there is a mighty cheer that seemed
to make the trees sway and the skies
tremble. The band pla.vs “Hail to the
Chief,” and the enthusiasm is boundless
and unrestrainable. 1 fancy that the
scene presented by that wildly enthusiastic
crowd has never had an equal anywhere,
and will perhaps never be repeated, un
less, per chance, this government shall
live under the constitution for another
century and celebrate its second centen
nial.
I shall not dwell on the scenes that
have been passing before my eyes for the
three days just ending. The excitement
is too fresh and the enthusiasm to high.
Perhaps on next week I will try to picture
to you some of the sights 1 saw and re
peat some of the lessons learned.
sense. The weather has been perfect, the
crowd has been orderly, the diplays have
all been fine, and old Philadelphia has
done herself proud. Good feeling and
good fellowship has prevailed everywhere
and there has not been a jar or a break
from start to finish.
Ours is a great country and a great
people—the country great in extent, in
population, resources and in strength;
the people great in progressiveness, intel
ligence and patriotism.
How pleasant it is to dwell together in
unity. W. J. N.
A Case of Deafness Cured.
Office of Shaw & Raldwind’s Wholesale!
Notion House,Toledo, 0., Dec 11,1879./
F. J. Cheney & Cos., Toledo, o.—Dear
Sirs: About three months ago, noticing"
a letter addressed to you in the Bee from
Gen. Sleviii, in reference to the cure of
his son by the use of Hall’s Catarrh Cure,
we were induced to commence the use of
it tor our daughter Nellie now fourteen
years old, who has been suffering fro a
catarrh for about eight years, during
which time she has been treated by one
of the best physicians in the city. We
have also teied the use of almost all the
known remedies for catarrh, with no
more success than temporary relief.
Many nights have we laid awake to hold
Tier mouth ojien to keep her from strang
ling. Her hearing had also become affec
ted. We were afraid that she would
never recover. We have now used six
bottles of Kail’s Catarrh Cure, and we
believe Nellie to be entirely cured. In a
few days after commencing the use of it
we noticed a decided change for the bet
ter, and from that right along she has
improved, until now she breaths as easily
as any one. She sleeps well and her
hearing is jierfectly good. We feel that
the disease is entirely removed. We
write this unsolicited letter, feeling that
it is due you, and with the hope that
others may be benefitted in like manner.
We can hardly realize that such a change
could be effected in so short a time
after battling with the disease so long.
We are still using the remedy at inter-
A’als, as it seems to build up her system.
You are at liberty to use this in any
manner you see proper.
We are yours, truly,
Mr. ani> Mrs. Baldwin,

Conkling- in Diana's Hath Room.
White Sulphur Letter to N. Y. Times.] *
Diana's bath room is a beautiful little
nook. Her bath gown is just outside, a
long snwoy folded pendant hanging to a
paleozoic peg in the ceiling. The bath
is an inviting pool of crystal, with a wax
lily on its surface which has grown there
through the dropping pollen of the can
dles. After the bath gown the expecta
f ion of seeing Diana is but reasonable.
She sits upon the bank beside the pool,
moist with her plunge. The most re
markable thing about the bath room is
that Roscoe Conkling is also there. The
guide points him out and you recognize
the resemblance instantly. He is also
sitting upon the bank, and, strange to
say, is not gazing at any of the beauti
ful geological formations which are visi
ble in every direction, but, on the con
trary, is gazing direct at Diana. With
out any desire to l>e hypocritical you
instantly feel that the attention of the
management should be called to the oc
currence. Diana, through all history,
sacred and profane, has been believed to
have conducted herself with a propriety
which, if antique in style, lias been
deemed none the less admirable. The
presence of Mr. Conkling in the bath
room, while it is nowise the result of de
sign on his part, does not look well.
Indeed, so much objection has been
raised, particularly by Philadelphia
school teachers, who are mostly named
affer Diana, that the absolutionary
guest will shortly lie named after Diana,
that the absolutionary guest will short
ly be named after another American
statesman now on his travels, who will
be regarded as merely holding u perfect
ly proper consultation with her with
reference to gathering in the vote of the
naturalized Ephesians in this county.
How the Constitution was Born.
The grand celebration at Philadelphia j
of the adoption of the American consti
tution one hundred years ago, has
drawn forth from historians and politi
cal students a prodigious amount of i
literature bearing upon the subject. We !
have seen nothing in which the orgin of i
the constitution is comprehensive, yet
so concisely set forth as the article of
John Bach McMaster in the Century for 1
September, under the title “The Framers i
and the Framing of the Constitution." j
Upon this we herein liberally draw.
Mr. McMaster finds the origin of the
constitution first in the weakness of the
provisional Congress. The first step
towards the constitution was a meeting
between commissioners appointed to set
tle questions that had arisen touching
the navigation of the Potomac river and
the Chesapeake bay. Questions of com
mercial law and currency were soon de
veloped and the commission reported
back to their respective States the diffi
culties. Maryland invited Delaware and
Pennsylvania to join her upon a discus
sion of these matters. Virginia asked all
States to meet in a trade convention at
Annapolis in September, 1776. New
York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Dela
wore and Virginia spent two days in
dismissing the low trade of commerce
and called a convention to meet in Phila
delphia iu May, 1787. Congress ap
proved in February, 1787, this call. Sev
en States had already appointed ils dele
gates, George Washington, James Madi
son, George Wythe, John Blair and
James McYlurg. New Jersey followed
with William Livingston, David Brearley
and William Houston, whose place, how
ever. was filled by Jonathan Dayton.
New Hampshire, because of an empty
treasury, sent no delegates until the con
j vention was half over. Rhode Island re
fused to attend.
On May 25th, seven States were pres
ent constituting a quorum. Washing
ton was called to the chair, William
Jackson was made Secretary, the doors
were closed and a pledge of secrecy was
laid upon the members.
After much preliminary discussion, in
which absent Rhode Island suffered se
verely, the convention got down to work
on Tuesday, the 29th of May, when Ran
dolph of Virginia, arraigned the old Con
federation and urged the getting up of a
strong national government, presenting
at the same time fifteen resolutions pro
viding for a national executive, a nation
al legislature, national jpdiciar.v and
council of revision, the executive to be
chosen by the Legislature and ineligible
for the second term, and the Legislature
to consist of two branches with power
to coerce refractory States, and veto all
States laws contrary to the articles of
Union. It provided that the people
should choose members of the first branch;
“that the first branch should choose
members of the second from men nomi
nated by the Legislature of the States;
that the representation of each State
should be proportioned to the inhabi
tants on its soil or to the share it bore
of the national expenses; that the judici
ary should be elected by the national
Legislature; that the excutive and the
judges should form a council to revise all
laws before they went into force; that
provisions should be made for admitting
new States, for amending the articles of
Union, for assuring to each State a re
publican form of government and a
right to its soil.”
This, and a plan submitted by Pinck
ney, of North Carolina, went to a com
mittee. When Randolph’s was received
back it was debated, amended and sub
stituted out of all shape. Soon the op
position of the central to the State sov
ereignty idea was developed. The South
ern States were arraigned against the
Northern, the agricultural against the
commercial, and worst of all says our
historian, “the great States were Massa
chusetts, Pennsylvania and Virginia,
and the small New York, New Jersey, and
Delaware. Out of these party divisions
came in time the three compromises of
the constitution. The fear in which the
little States stood of the great secured
me compromise giving representation
States. The hatred felt by the slave
States for the freecaused thesecond com
promise, giving representation to slaves.
The jealousy bet ween Sta tes agricultural
and States commercial brought about
the third compromise, on the slave trade
and commerce.
In the acrimonious discussion upon
these compromises, some of which were
not secured until near the close of the
session, the great States gained the day,
but graciously permitted the word
“national” to be stricken out of all the
resolutions. The fight on the basis of
representation was fierce and waged
between the Virginia and the States
Rights parties. Strange to say, the com
promise which resulted in a Senate rep
resenting States a House representing
the people was effected chiefly by the
Connecticut men. But they would have
failed had it not been for the able assis
tance of Franklm. It is interesting to
note that even in this convention the
fear was expressed that the West would
some day wrest the control of the gov
ernment from the Fast. When the
slavery question was reached, and the
question of slave representation was
taken up, the convention was divided
into Northern and Southern men. New
York was not then represented, Hamil
ton’s two associates having returned
home enraged at the Connecticut com
promise. The whole South came near
following during the discussion of the
question of taxation and representation.
This would have dissolved the conven
tion. But ten States were in convention,
and the South had six of them. The
South won by compromise, which was to
proportion representation according to
taxation, and both representation and
direct taxes according to population,
counting all whites and three-fifths of
the blacks. When the whole report came
before the convention it passed by a
vote of five to four, North Carolina’s
deciding it.
The convention was then in a bad hu
mor. Ten days were spent in distribu
ting the power of the States and general
government. Then the various plans
and resolutions were put into the hands
of a committee which reported two
weeks later. This report is the basis of
the present constitution. Its provisions
were amended, knocked out by substitu
tions, and changed beyond recognition,
except in the basic outlines set forth in
the resolutions. These changes are in
teresting, but too numerous for produc
tion. The States of Georgia and South
Carolina only desired free importation of
slaves. These States finally comprom
ised by securing free importation until
1808, and yielding to Congress the
power to pass navigation laws. Finally,
on September 15th the whole document
was ready, and members began to sign
for their States. Washington signed
first. As the Southern members were
adding their names Franklin said to
those about him, referring to a carving
upon the President’s chair:
“1 have often and often in the course
of this session and the solicitude of my
hopes and fears as to its issue, looked at
that sun behind the President without
being able to tell whether it was rising
or setting. But now at length I know it
is a rising and not a setting sun.”
The States ratified the work of the
committee in course of time, many sug
gesting amendments of which ten were
adopted. North Carolina came into the
Union in 1789, and six months later
Rhode Island followed. The eleventh
amendment was added in 1798, and the
twelfth in 1804. The other two were
added during the late war. So was born
theconstitution of United States.—Macon

TILOISK’S DOCTOR’S BILL.
Tne Claim, .Said to be SI 13,000, Made
by Dr. Charles E. Simmons.
From the New York Times,]
The admirers -if Somiiol .1. Tildon, who ■
took pleasure in proclaiming on-every :
possible occasion that he possessed more j
Jeffersonian simplicity than any man of
his weight in the country, were of course I
unaware that he owed a doctor's bill of
$143,000. A bill of such magnificent, j
not to say startling, proportions and
Jeffersonian simplicity could not posssi
bly run double. For the purpose of sup
porting the sage's reputation for sim
plicity some of his admirers may argue
that Mr. Tilden may not have been
j aware that he owed so many bags of
; gold for medical attendance and apothe
i cary s wares. The trustees of his es
j tate, it is understood, take this view
I of the matter, and the impression among
the few people who know anything about
it is that the coming century will be con
siderably advanced before such a bill is
paid at the face.
One of the trustees looked surprised
yesterday afternoon when asked if pay
ment had been refused of the bill pre
sented by Dr. Charles E. Simmons for
medical service and attendance upon
Mr. Tilden. Instead of giving a plain
and satisfactory answer to the question
the trustee said that Dr. Simmons was
the proper person from which to get in
formation on such a subject. Then, of
course, the reporter gratefully accepted
the statement that the matter was a pri
vate, not a public one. The trustee
would not say that payment of l)r.
Simmon's bill had been refused, but he
smiled when the amount, $143,000, was
mentioned.
Dr. Simmons, who is also a Commis
sioner of Charities and Correction, was
more willing to talk than the trustee
had been. He talked all around the
bill, but never mentioned the amount.
The latter was stated to him, but even
then he failed to deny or affirm that the
figures were correct. He promptly de
nied that payment had been refused, but
admitted that he had not been paid.
Any delay in the matter should be
ascribed to him, he said, and not to the
trustees of the Tilden estate. Without
giving the amount to his bill, Dr. Sim
mons explained how a bill could reach
very large proportions. lie had at
tended Mr. Tilden, he said, for eight
years, or, to be exact, for seven years
and eleven months. During that period
he had visited Mr. Tilden ever,\ day,
probably. He was Mr. Tilden's friend
as well as his physician, and considered
Mr. Tilden his best friend. Mr. Tilden
had always done everything in his power
for him and his. Being on such terms of
intimacy, it seemed natural that a set
tlement should be deferred. It was post
poned to such an extent that Mr. Tilden
died without making one. Dr. Simmons
said a settlement would be reached with
out any trouble when the proper time
arrived. He and the trustees would
meet and adjust the matter. He, too,
was unable to see why the public should
be particularly interested in his bill until
he was assured it was solely on account
of its size. About that he had nothing
to say, nor did he offer the reporter a
copy of the bill.
A Sound Legal Opinion.
E. Bainbridge Munday, Esq., County
Attorney, Clay County, Texas, says:
“Have used Electric Bitters with most
happy results. My brother alsg was
very low with Malarial Fever and Jaun
dice, but was cured by timely use of this
medicine. Am satisfied Electric Bitters
saved his life.”
Mr. I). I. Wilcoxon, of Horse Cave,
Ky., adds a like testimony, saying: He
positively believes he would have died
had it not been for Electric Bitters.

A Father’s Love.
Atlanta, September 18. —The love of
father for child and the depth of anxiety
which may be aroused on occasions had
a forcible illustration to-day and in a
manner not often chronicled.
Mr. Forties Lydell, a well known mer
chant of Montgomery, received a dis
patch in that city_ about 1 o'clock this
afternoon that a child of his, now in
Charlotte, was lying critically ill and not
expected to live.
The train for Atlanta had passed
hours before, and the departuue of the
Air Line train from this city for Char
lotte is at 6 p. m.. his only train unil to
morow, which, in all probability, would
carry him to the bedside of his child too
late.
His anxiety was so great that he de
termined to go at once, if possible, at
any cost, and he succeeded in arranging
with the railroad authorities for a special
train, which would put him in Atlanta in
time to make the connection with the
Air Line. For this valuable and timely
accommodation he paid one dollar per
mile for the distance covered, 176 miles.
The engine, with a coach attached,
containing Mr. Lydell and Train Dis
patcher McKenzie in charge, pulled out
of Montgomery at 1:15 p. in. Engineer
John Me Waters had the throttle, which
was a guaranty that the trip would be
made in safety and in good time. Over
considerable portions of the distance the
run was made at a rate exceeding a mile
a minute, and at 5:20 the train ran into
the Uneon depot here with forty minutes
to spare. Mr. Lydell left for Charlotte
on the Air Line at 6 o'clock.
Greatly Excited.
Not a few of tlie citizens of Cartersville
a e greatly excited over tlie astonishing
facts, that several of their friends who
had been pronounced by their physicians
as incurable and beyond all hope—suffer
ing with that dreadful monster Consump
ion—have been completely cured by Dr

The Oft Told Story
Of (ho peculiar medicinal merits of Hood's
Sarsaparilla is fully confirmed by the volun
tary testimony of thousands who have tried
it. Peculiar in the combination, proportion,
and preparation of its ingredients, peculiar
in the extreme care with which it is put
up, Hood's Sarsaparilla accomplishes cures
where other preparations entirely fail. Pecu
liar in the unequalled good name it lias made
at home, which is a “tower of strength
abroad,” peculiar in the phenomeual sales
it lias attained.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
is the most popular and successful medicine
before tbe public today for purifying the
bhxid, giving strength, creating an appetite.
“I suffered from wakefulness and low
spirits, and also had eczema on the back of
my head and neck, which was very annoying.
1 took one bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and
1 have received so much benefit that I am
very grateful, and I am always glad to speak
a good word for this medicine.” Mus. J. S.
Snyder, Pottsville, Penn.
Purifies the Blood
Henry lliggs, Campbell Street, Kansas City,
had scrofulous sores all over his body for
fifteen years. Hood's Sarsaparilla completely
cured him.
Wallace Buck, of North Bloomfield, N. Y.,
suffered eleven years with a terrible varicose
ulcer on his leg, so bad that he had to give
up business. He was cured of the ulcer, and
also of catarrh, by

OUR CORRESPONDENTS NOTE THE
INCIDENTS OF THEIR
NEIGHBORHOODS,
Anl Disli Them I p in n Delectable Shape
For Our Headers.
QRASSDALE.
Fodder pulling has been the order of
the dav for some time, and splendid
weather we have had for the business,
but this week is about over and evert 1
body is bending over, picking the fleecy .
staple. . .
Lasses biling is engaged in by several
in the neighborhood. It won't lie long
before every body can have syrup on
both sides of their bread if they want
it. One enterprising Voting friend
Charlie Saxon is grinding cane with an
engine.
There are so many pretty, sweet young
ladies around him, that he can not help
making sweet syrup.
If our boys had cane to make up they
would all haul to Charley, just to get a
peep at the beauties on both sides of the
road.
Jim Wren is was very sorry he had
provided another party to haul to him,
I dont know what he offered him to let
him off.
Mrs. Sam Pittard has been to Acworth,
to visit her daughter Mrs, Crenshaw, who
was sick.
Miss Alice Hawkins has returned from
Rome, where she -spent several weeks
visiting friends.
Mr. Wm. Ward has had a very sick
child for some time.
Mr. J. M. Yeach came down after Mrs.
Sarah Yeach, who has been visiting Mrs.
Herring and friends, and took her to his
home at Adairsville.
The mumps are raging in upper Grass
dale.
Nearly everybody went to the Taber
nacle on the first Sunday, the neighbor
hood looked almost deserted. A few of
us went to hear Bro., White at Best s
Chapel, while there was a great deal
larger congregation at the Tabernacle,
and very good and elegant preaching,
still I am sure there was nothing there
that surpassed the sermon we heard.
My regret was that there were not mauy
more to listen to it, and take in the
amount of good it contained.
He traced the means which God had
employed to establish his church and
for the promulgation of the gospel, from
the fall of man up to this time.
Our people had a perfect treat, in
meeting our former pastor Bro. Eng
land at the Tabernacle. Helios had so
much sickness in his family and himself
been sick, and worked so faithful in his
meetings, that his churches gave him
two weeks vacation to recruit, so he
came up and spent several days at the
Tabernacle and the rest of the time he
will spend among his people on the
Kingston circuit. I know he cannot help
recruiting rapidly, for his old people still
love him and will do all in their power
to make his visit pleasant.
Bro. White began a meeting at Cass
ville last Sunday night, he will be assis
ted by Bro. Kendall of Rome, Bro. Aldre
of Florida, and perhaps others. To all
who love to hear good preaching, Isay
come to Cassville during the meeting.
CItOFTON.
HALL'S MILLS.
Your correspondent has been gone from
home for a month on the C,. It. & C. It. R.
survey, but is at home on a two days’
visit and will try to send in a few dots to
let the public know how Hall’s is getting
on. She has made quite an improvement
since I left.
Mr. Joe Barrett, of Kingston, has put
up a saw mill and is cutting lumber right
ahead. He has also made considerable
improvements on his gin-house and has
jjfojio to ginning; haw splendid steam
power and is doing very nice work. We
find him to be a very lively business man
and a splendid neighbor, of such we are
glad to have.
Cotton is opening up very splendidly.
Sorgom cane is ripe, therefore the
farmers are very busy.
The rain and heavy wind last week
damaged cotton considerably by knock
ing it out in the dirt.
They have closed a splendid revival at
this place conducted by Rev. J. M. White
and Walter Lanier. I have been told
they preached some splendid sermons
and the house crowded at every service,
the results of which were good.
1 would be glad to give you a full ac
count of the C. R. A C. R. R., but lim
ited time and space forbids. They are
moving right ahead with the work and
have several miles graded. One of the
surveying corps is at LaFayette, and
the other at Crawfish Springs. Will try
to furnish you with dots and full ac
counts soon. Bob Bail.

ADAIRSVILLE.
The public has occupied a back seat in
the last week and looks on the news
gatherer with silence and wonder, as he
meanders around in search of some
morsel to satisfy the appetite of a news
paper reporter.
Miss Ellen Johnson, of Marietta, is on
a visit with friends here.
Miss Lilly Woodberry has returned to
her home, Cassville, after a pleasant stay
with us.
Miss Emma Wilson came up from Rome
last week on a visit to her sisters.
Mrs. J. C. Martin has been with her
daughter in Chattanooga, Mrs. 1). I*.

Dr. J. W. Hambright has been looking
at his valuable mineral lands in Tunnel
Hilt.
We regret very much to have to chron
icle the absence from their parents with
out leave, of J no. Langston, Jim More
land and Oliver Reed, who have had
and enjoyed a parent’s protection and
tender solicitude, which is found want
ing in their present position, and which
ought to bind them closer to their home
fireside.
The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. E. M.
Stanton died at their home in Tilton
last week, and was buried here.
By the death of Mrs. Carrie Tomlin
