Newnan Advertiser : There is a neat
little dodge being used by a few r claim
agents in Washington, D. C., to procure
stamps from persons in the South. These
papers are sent out all over the South
since the official returns of our army
rolls. There is one individual who has
sent out papers whose name is Lafayette
Bingham. He is sending the blank ap
plications suitable for Union claims, and
writes on the margin: “Please send a
few stamps when I prepare your claim.”
We hereby give noticejto all to be par
ticular how they send stamps. There
has been no appropriation to pension
Southern soldiers. The number of Fed
eral widows in the Soutli is very limited.
An Americus iady, out fishing recent

a large turtle had seized a pig, that was
rooting about the edge of the water, by
the hind leg, and was trying to drag it
into the pond. She called to a gentle
man, who wente to th pig’s assistance,
and the turtle was captured. It weighed
48 pounds, and the flesh was feasted on
for several days.

memory and deeds in the warmest cor
ner of my heart. In parting with them,
I do so with regret, and for my enemies,
(if I have any real one3,) I leave —no re
proaches. I instinctively shrink from
leaving old friends and old memories
which have clustered around us for the
past thirty-three years. What is in store
for me in the future, is known only to
the great I Am. But, I have said enough,
except it be to utter that saddest of
words—Farewell, Farewell !”

From the neighborhood of Warwick,
in Worth county, comes a story simple
enough to have happened in the days of
Abraham, when girls returned thanks
for offers of marriage. Several months
ago, Mr. G. M. Dupree, a venerable
widower, more than sixty years old, pos
sessing eight children and eighteen
grandchildren, requested his friend, Mr.
Jim Hobby, to select for him a wile. Mr.
Hobby was told to not make his selection
from girls in their teens, as they were
likely to be giddy, but to look among the
“old girls,” but to select a “chunky”
one. Hobby beat about for sometime,
bent on doing his best for his old friend ;
and was sorely discomfited in not findin $
at once the old girl who would fit the bill
of requirements. At length, after many
days, he met the object of his search, a
maiden of thirty summers—a Miss Sallle
Jones —one who would “fill the bill.”
Mr. Hobby was confronted with one dif
ficulty, which much perplexed him—the
lady was not “chunky” at all, but the
other way, but was so engaging and win
some that he disliked to pass by so excel
lent opportunity to serve his old friend.
He found his wav out of the distressing
dilemma by boldlv opening the subject,
and to his gratification she was not
“offish” a bit, hut took kindly to the
proposition. Hobby made haste to com
municate with his friend. Dupree di
rected him to proceed with the courtship,
and thus the affair was arranged for the
happy union. Mr. Dupree called on
Miss Jones three times and the happy
ovent was consummated at the residence
of Mrs. Mcllannon, sister of the bride.

The fact Is recalled that the very de
structive series of wind-storms which
wrought such havoc in 1883 began on
April 22, with simultaneous tempests at
many points in the South and West which
resulted in the loss of two or three hun
dred lives.
EX-PRESIDENT livcoln.
Carp in Cleveland Leader.]
There are a number of relies of the
President scattered here ami there about
Washington. In the national museum
there is a pair of dove-colored chamois
skin gloves which were made for the
President just before he wa* assassinated,
but which ha never wore. Here too is a
model of his patent for lifting vessels
over shoals, and in a case near by you
may see a lock of his brown hair laid
away with that of the other Presidents.
A man named Peterson, who was a son
of the man who owned the house in
which Lincoln died, has the pillow’ case
and quilt upon whseh lie breathed his
last breath. They are clotted and stained
with blood, but Peterson considers them
worth a great deal, and he would hardly
sell them for their weight in silver.
There is a tall, thin messenger at the
White House named Pendle who has
been there for nearly thirty years, and
who was on duty on the night that the
President was shot. He will tell yon
how he was affected by little Tad Lin
coln sobbing and crying, “Oh! they
have killed my papa!” My poor papa!
Let me go to my papa!” Pendle wor
ships the memory of little Tad and his
father. In a tiny gold looket he has a
band of the President’s hair, and in a
tine black broadcloth coat, one sleeve of
which is badly cut. It wm in this coat
that tiie President died, and Pendle
treasures it as though it was a veritable
cloth of gold. A man named Forbes,
who lives in Washington, has the
shawl and black silk stock worn by
Lincoln when he was shot, knd he is also
the owner of a beautifully carved cane
given to tiie President by a Pennsylva
nia regiment, as well Is the pock
et-knife of the President Forbes is
said to have been in the box the night
Lincoln was shot, as one of his atten
dants.
RELICS OF JOHN WILKES BOOTH.
The armß of John Wilkfts Booth and
some relics connected with his death are
still kept here at Washington. A piece
of Booth’s vertebne is shown iu the exhi
bition cates of the Medical Museum,
which is now kept in Ford’s Theater,
where the assassination occurred. This
theatre has never been used as a place of
amusement since the night of the great
crime. A short time after It Ford, the
owner, who was something of a Southern
sympathizer, attempted to open it, but
Secretary Stanton forbade it, and the
Government bought it, pftying, if my
remembrance is correct, SIOO,OOO for it.
As to the Medical Museum, It is tilled
with all sorts of horrible things. Hun
dreds of cases with glass fronts are shown
full of all the horrible disease that flesh
is heir to. All sorts of human deformi
ties lookout of big bottles fif algbhol, and
a visit to the scene of Lincoln’s assassina
tion is disgusting beyond description.
There are a great number of skeletons
polished until they shine like ivory and
fastened together with wires. In tiie
top of the skull of each of these there is
a brass ring, and by this the skeleton
hangs behind glasses clear as crystal and
grins at you moat horribly as you pass
by. lam told that anew building is
being erected for this Medical Museum.
It is certainly not fitting that it. should
remain where it is.
All the semblance of the scenes of the
assassination has been taken from the
interior of the theatre. It has been cut
up tnto different floors, jud the only
thing left which they can show you to
remind you of the assassination is a win
dow loeking out on the alley where
Booth got iris horse and galloped away
down toward tiie Maryland shores.
Just across the street from this theatre
is .The house where Lincoln died.
It is a three-story brick in a block, with
a pair of stone steps and an iron railing
reaching to the front door over the base
ment. In its walls has been sunken a
marble slab on which is printed the
word 8;

A LINCOLN
Died in This House
; April 15, 18G5. :
*' .*
The house is now owned by a German
editor named Louis Schade, who has his
printing office, I think, in the basement.
He is a strong Democrat, and it was a
notable fact that, at the last inauguration,
this house where the martyred President
breathed his last was more extravagantly
and gaudily decorated than any other on
the street. At the time of the assassina
tion this house was known as the Peter
son House. It was occupied by a very
respectable family of that name. They
were good, sensible people, not overly
well-to-do, who owned a large house,
and made something by renting rooms
to strangers. John Mathews, a come
dian, who was a great friend of John
Wilkes Booth, had rooms in this house,
and his room was the one in which Pres
ident Lincoln died. A few nights before
the assassination John Wilkes Booth oc
cupied Mathews’ room, and it is a curious
fact that he slept in the same bed upon
which the man whom he afterward mur
dered breathed his last breath. It was
said by some that Andy Jackson was
sworn in here at this house. This may
be so, but it is generally believed that he
was sworn in at the Kirkwood House.
The room In which the President died
was a long, narrow one in the center of
the building, with few windows, if any,
and with paper made of great stripes.
Mrs. Lincoln was not at his bedside when
he passed away, and the pictures gener
ally given do not represent the true scene
of the deathbed.
A PATHETIC INCIDENT OF THE CY
CLONE.
A Sauk Rapids special to the St. Paul
Globe says: A peculiarly sad incident
occurred this afternoon. Out in the rub
bish some rods from the depot, wander
ing about the stricken neighborhood, was
a middle-aged man. He looked haggard,
and took no notioe of the curious people
who constantly passed him in their search
among the ruins. It was Charles Shell
green. His home had been leveled to
the ground, and he was wandering near
the spot where his home once stood. He
was a poor man and had nothing but his
home. One of the visitors was the Rev.
Mr. Pierce, of Fergus Fa’ls, who had
once preached at Sauk Rapids, and not
knowing how Mr. Shellgreen had been
afflicted, he approached him and asked
if he had lost anything besides his house,
The man stopped, walked up and shook
hands with the rnan of God and said,
“My baby.” He could go no further,
■ but sat on the ruins of his home, and the
tears rolled from his eyes as his voice
thickened. His entire family had beeu
killed, a wife and four children. The
wife *nd three of the children lay over
in the dead house awaiting their cofiins,
but the fourth, a girl baby of some weeks,
had not been found. The minister could
not say cheer up, and he left the man sit
-1 ting alone and desolate, with the tears
streaming from his dazed eyes.
MORMONS MOVING SOUTH.
Hunting Polygamists Under the Edmunds
Law—A Prophecy in the Tabernacle.
Salt Lake, April 14.—The much-talked
of Mormon exodus is believed by many
to have been in progress for some time.
People from the interior report that there
is a constant movement of wagons to
ward the south, never in large numbers,
but two or three together, and that it is
the intention of the emigrants to meet
somewhere near the international boun
dary and proceed thence into Mexico in
a big procession. Some of the Mormons
who haye been questioned have said that
they were bound for Jackson county,
Missouri, by the way of Mexico, and it is
thought that some such pretence as that
may have been set up by the leaders of
the Church for the purpose of getting the
faithful stacted. Since George Q. Can
non absconded, leaving his bondsmen to
pay $25,000 of forfeited bail, it lias lieen
suspected that he has taken refuge in
Mexico, and the presumption is that a
good many of the more active polyga
mists will join in the movement to es
tablish a naw Zion there.
The hunt for offenders under the Ed
munds law continues with a zeal which
sometimes has ludicrous features. The
Federal oflicers have found that when
they get after one man they almost inva
riably unearth half a dozen others, gen-
erally relatives, of whom they knew noth
ing before. This was the case when they
arrested one J. 11. Dean for unlawful co
habitation. lie had some pretty good
witnesses for himself, and it was a9 much
as ever that the Commissioner could be
persuaded to hold him for trial, but these
witnesses put the oflicers in possession of
certain facts which led to a dozen or more
arrests at once. Among others for whom
warrants were issued, were George Wood
and his two wives. When the deputies
reached the Wood place the man and his
flrst wife ran, and it was sometime before
their trail could be found. At length the
marshals traced them to a hay stack, and
after a careful pawing over of a great
deal of the hay they brought out the two
victims. Wood’s second wife, a girl of
16, was found soon after, and on her frank
confession that she had married Wood
three months ago, the latter was held in
$5,000 for polygamy.
Two marshals called at the house of
Mayor Armstrong the other day and rang
the front door bell. A young woman,
whom they took to be a servant, answer
ed, and, in response to their inquiry for
Mrs. Armstrong, said she had gone down
town. The men then asked it any other
members of the family were at home,
and the girl summoned two children.
Tiie oflicers were about to take the little
ones as witnesses when all of them burst
into tears, and the young woman, who
was none other than one ol Armstrong’s
polygamous wives, was also taken into
custody. Her sister was arrested after
ward, and both of them were examined
at length before the grand jury.
Four Mormon convicts whose time had
expired, but who were held under the
fines imposed upon them, which they
had not paid, took the poor man’s oath
last week, and three of them were re
leased. Singularly enough, the property
which they were supposed to own was
all in the possession of their numerous
wives, and, according to their own show
ing, they were as helpless financially as
paupers. In the case of Groo, who has
three wives, who are sisters, the Com
missioner refused to accept his declara
tion, and before he could be released he
was compelled to secure the money need
ed to pay his fine.
An old man named Bailey who was ar
rested a tew days ago for drunkenness,
and who attempted suicide in his cell by
hanging, was once a very influential po
lygamist here. He married a middle
aged widow, and afterward married all
of her daughters, having children by all
of them. One of his own daughters, a
child of 15, was used by a notorious
character here, with his consent, for the
purpose of entrapping some Gentiles.
Bailey has been going from bad to worse
for a long time, and as suicide is gener
ally regarded as a fitting climax to such
a life as his has been, it is believed that
he will yet accomplish his object.
The extraordinary prayers of the blind
Chaplain of the Hou#e of Representa
tives are giving some of the Saints a lit
tle comfort. In the Tabernacle on Sun
day Bishop Whitney read one of these
petitions for the purpose of showing how
the Almighty is punishing the persecu
tors of the Mormons. “God has chosen
us,” Whitney said, “as the vanguard of
the grand army for the reformation of
the world. This city is like the city
which was placed upon the top of a hill
to be the light of the world. And yet
we hear of prayers offered to the God of
Jacob in the Congress of the United
States, where they are framing laws for
the oppression of a people who are de
scended from Jacob. This same Jacob
was the husband of five wives, and the
twelve sons that sprang from these po
lygamous marriages were all recognized
as honorable men. Our tyrants will some
day have their necks beneath another’s
heel. The laws which thev are enacting
will entrap themselves. The laws that
are being enacted are like dynamite
placed beneath the Capitol—they will ex
plode and wreck the nation. God will
save his people at the eleventh hour. lie
will redeem Zion and damn the wicked.”
TRIALS OF NEWSPAPER MEN.
Rev. Dr. Talmage preached a sermon
last Sunday on newspaper men and their
trials and temptations. We give space
to a short extract:
“One of the great trials of this news
paper profession is the fact that they are
compelled to see more of the shams of
the world than any other profession.
Through every newspaper office, day by
day, go the weaknesses of the world, the
vanities that want to be puffed, the re
venges that want to be wreaked, all the
mistakes that want to be corrected, all
the dull speakers who want to be thought
eloquent, all the meanness that wants to
get its wares noticed gratis in the edito
rial columns in order to save a tax of the
advertising columns, all the men who
want to be set right who never were
right, all the crack-brained philosophers,
with a story as long as their hair, and as
gloomy a3 their Unger nails—in mourn
ing because bereft of soap; all the itiner
ant bore* who come to stay five minutes
and stay an hour. From the editorial
end ruportorial rooms, all the follies and
shams of the world are seen d-y by day,
and the temptation is to believe neither
in God, man, nor wornau. It is no sur
prise tl) me that in your profession there
are some skeptical men. I onlv wonder
that you believe anything. Unless an
editor or a teporter has in his present or
his early home, a model of earnest char
acter, or he throw himself upon the up
holding grace of God, he must make a
temporal and eternal shipwreck.”

THE PLAIN GIRL.
Philadelphia Times.]
An esteemed contemporary emphasizes
the tact that in Berlin, Paris, London,
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chi
cago, Kt. Louis and even in Camden, the
girl who elopes with the coachman, ruins
the preacher, runs away with the variety
show, kills herself and keeps the
reporters employed is always beautiful
and brilliant on paper and gets all the
fuss made over her, while the plain girl,
"ko stays at home, mends the stockings
and helps to keep the human kitchen
warm and clean, is very much neglected.
It is all too true. In their search for
pleasure and beauty, as in their search
for wealth, men are too upt to forget
everything except the object of their
quest, and the object being too often
trivial they are apt to be fooled, while
the beautitul girl gets the advertising
and a long, sound sleep on opium. The
plain girl, meanwhile, gets very tired
of her work in the store, of her studies
or teaching at school, and of her domes
tic cares, but she is apt to wake in the
morning when the beautiful girl has
long ceased to wake.
Queer and unmanageable as they are,
girls are likely to get their dues, like
other people. The beautiful girl is
courted for her beauty and spoiled. The
plain girl is admired and loved for her
usefulness and is seldom spoiled. In the
long run the plain girl gets more* ap
preciation and genuine admiration for
her usefulness than the beautiful girl
gets for her beauty. It is usually con
sidered a more comfortable thing to live
a life of virtue than a life of shame, and
while beauty does not necessarily imply
misfortune it is apt to bring such, and
the plain girl need not cry her eyes out
because she is plain.
A NEW STORY OF WEBSTER.
Philadelphia News. |
On one occasion some Boston friends
sent him as a present an enormous sized
plow to use on his place. Webster gave
out word that on a certain day it would
be christened. The day arrived, and the
surrounding farmers tor miles came to
witness the event. A dozen teams with
aristocratic occupants came down lrom
Boston. It was expected by every one
that Webster would make a great speech
on the occasion, reviewing the history ot
farming back to the time when Cincin
natus abdicated the most mighty throne
in the world to cultivate turnips and
cabbages in iiis Roman garden. The
plow was brought out and ten yoke of
splendid oxen hitched in front. More
th*n 200 people stood around on the
tiptoe of expectation. Soon Webster
made his appearance. He had been
calling spirits from the vasty deep, and
his gait was somewhat uncertain. Seiz
ing the plow-handles and spreading his
feet, he yelled out to the driver in his
deep bass voice:
“Are you all ready, Mr. Wright?”
“All readj r , Mr. Webster,” was the
reply, meaning of course, for his speech.
Webster straightened himself up by a
mighty effort and shouted :
“Then let her rip!”
The whole crowd dropped to the
ground and roared with laughter, while
Webster with his plow proceeded to rip
up the soil.
BITTER BREAD.
Complaint is frequently made by those
who use baking powders that they leave
in bread, biscuit, or cake raised by them
a disagreeable, bitter taste. This taste
follows the use of all impure baking pow
ders, and is caused either by their con
taining alum (introduced to make a
cheap article,) by the impure and adul
terated character of other ingredients
used, or from the ignoranceof their man
ufacturers of the proper methods of com
bining them. These baking powders
leave in the bread a residuum formed of
lime, earth, alum, or other deleterious
matters, not always, though frequently,
tastable in the food, and by all physi
cians classed as injurious to health. The
Royal Baking Powder is free from this
serious defect. In its use no residuum
is left, and the loaf raised by it is always
sweet, light and wholesome,and noticeably
free from the peculiar taste complained
of. The reason of this is because it is
composed of nothing but absolutely pure
materials, scientifically combined in ex
actly the proper proportions of acid and
alkali to act upon and destroy each other,
while producing the largest amount ot
raising power. We are justified in this
assertion from the unqualified statements
made by the Government chemists, who
after thorough and exhaustive tests recom
mended the “Royal” for Governmental
use because of its superiority over all
others in purity, strength and whole
someness. There is no danger of bitter
bread or biscuit where it alone is used.
On Saturday, Noah Hendrick, colored,
living in Butts county, died under pe
culiar circumstances. He was buried on
Sunday, and on Monday Coroner Thomp
son was notified that foul play was sus
pieioned, and a warrant was sworn out
for one “Dr.” Juran, a kind of voodoo,
who had been administering teas and
liniments to the colored people in that
section. Tuesday the coroner summon
ed a jury and secured the service of Dr.
R. G. Bryans and repaired to Stark,
where Hendrick was buried and held an
investigation as to the cause of his death.
After a thorough investigation of the
case the jury returned a verdict that the
deceased came to his death from provi
dential causes and Juran was dismissed.
Immediately after his dismissal, how
ever, a warrant was sworn out charging
him with practicing medicine without
license. He was tired before Judge
James Jolly. Sufficient evidence was
adduced to hold him over and he was
placed under twenty-live dollar bond
for his appearance at the next term of
the county court.
“It is fortunate for the East,” remarks
a wise writer, “that there is a YY r est.”
Now we never thought of that before,
but really it seems reasonable. If there
were no West, reckon it would be East
all the way round, and the eastern bank
of the Mississippi would be on both sides,
like an American politician in a doubtful
district. Yes, indeed, it is a most fortu
nate thing for the East that there is a
YVest. Otherwise, when people get
tired of Boston they would be compelled
to go to heaven. Now, you see, they
can go West, which is a much greater
change. — Brooklyn Eagle.
The YY’estern <fc Atlantic railroad has
established a line of telegraph from Chat
tanooga to the junction with the East
Tennesse road at the Rock Edge beyond
the tunnel. An office has been opened
at the latter place and another in a car
near the Western & Atlantic crossing on
Market street. The object of the line is
to prevent delay’s and accidents in run
ning trains between the two places.

NUMBER 13
THE DYING HUSBAND’S CRY.
“In the year 1861,” says the Newnan
Herald , “When the troops were volun
teering for the war, a married man liv
ing in Carroll county, having a wife
and five children, eulisted to the army
as a private soldier. At the battle of
Missionary Ridge, near Lookout moun
tain, in Tennessee, he received a box of
supplies and a suit of clothes, which
his wife had sent him. lie put on the
suit, but remarked to his comrades that
it was the last suit he would ever put
on, as he would he killed to-morrow.
His companions who heard this strange
prediction, told him if he felt so he
should not go into the fight, but remain
buck. This he refused to do, stating
that an officer should lead his men when
ever duty called them. Next morning,
at the head of his company, he entered
the light and about noon a bullet from
the enemy hit him in the heart, killing
him almost instantly.
in his last moments, while a fellow
comrade held his head in his lap, he cried
aloud, “My poor wife and five little chil
dren, what will become of them!” and
expired. On that day al>out noon his
wife was startled by the cry of, “My
poor wife and five little children.” The
voice seemed so familiar to her and so
certain was she that it was her husband,
that she rushed to the door to meet him.
Failing to find him, she went around the
house and looked for him, and then went
to one of her neighbors to enquire if
they had seen h& husband. Just five
days after this she received a letter from
the soldier, who was with her husband
in his dying moments, relating to her
the last words that he uttered, which as
she now claims was the very words she
heard.”
ROMANCE IN HIGH LIFE.
Macon, Ga., April 14.—[Special.]—
Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, Secretary of the
Interior in Cleveland’s cabinet, arrived
in Macon this morning at 9:30 o’clock,
lie was met at the depot by Col. Wni.
11. Ross, Anderson W. Reece and Col.
Albert R. Lamar. After the compli
ments of the day, Col. Lamar was taken
in charge by Mr. Reese and driven to his
elegant home on Washington avenue.
He will be the guest of Mr. Reese to-day
and to-night, and to-morrow and to-mor
row night, he will be the guest of Mr.
Ross. To-morrow evening Mr. Ross will
invite a few friends to his residence.
Beyond this no public reception will be
tendered him. Col. Lamar was born in
Futnam county, September 17, 1825. He
was educated at Oxford, after which be
moved to this city, studied law and was
admitted to the bar in 1547. He after
wards moved to Mississippi, where he
has resided since. He served through
part of the war, when lie resigned to go
to England on an important mission for
the Confederate Government. Colonel
Lamar says his visit South is not a polit
ical one in any sense and is more of a
social nature. Indeed, those who are in
a position to know, say that he will soon
be united in marriage to a Macon lady.
As the romance goes, they were engaged
to be married in the long ago; they were
parted for some trivial reason; each mar
ried ; the husband and wife are botli
dead; now, after years, the two hearts
which beat together in unison then, will
be united in marriage.
Coffee county is what is known as
“Dry” county, the sale of liquor having
been stopped in the county a few years
ago by an act ot the legislature. As to
whether prohibition has hurt the county
any, the outside world may judge of the
fact when it is stated that the returns of
property to the tax receiver last year
were four hundred thousand dollars
over the returns before the county be
came dry. At that time the books showed
$700,000. They now show $1,100,000.
lion. W. 11. Love, who gave the figures,
also mentioned some amusing incidents
that occasionally transpire at Pearson.
Mr. Love is the telegraph operator and
express agent at Pearson. He says a
man will occasionally call at the office
for a jug of whisky shipped by express.
The man takes up the jug, looks around
to see if anybody is watching him, and
then says, “Mr. Love, can’t you let me
have a sack to hide this jug. 1 am
ashamed to go out with it this way.”
Washington, April 21. —Senator Alli
son, Chairman of the Senate Appropria
tion Committee, expresses the opinion
that the new rules of the House against
“riders” upon the appropriation bills
makes it possible to dispose of those
measures much more speedily than be
fore. He sees nothing except the tariff
bill to prevent an adjournment by July
10 .
More than a month ago a Florida hotel
keeper cut a lot of willow, which, he
made into rustic easy chairs. They were
cut before the trees began to bud, and
now there are to be seen on one of the
posts of a chair nice green buds and al
most full grown leaves.
A Brooklyn dentist, against whom a
suit for damages in the sum of $50,C00
was brought by a woman whose mouth
got sore after using a set of teeth he had
constructed for her, has settled the case
with her by a payment of S3OO.
An opium smuggler lias been defraud
ing Chinese at Seattle, Washington Ter
ritory, by selling them a tine quality of
Victoria mud, covered by a layer of the
drug, at $lO a pound.

Indians, says a correspondent, do not
know what kissing is. He lived two
years in Indian Territory among the
Creeks, and never once knew of a Indian
man kissing an Indian woman.
Quitting advertising because times are
dull is like pulling down a mill-dam
when the water is low.
