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 ly heard a pig squealing near the edge of a pond. On looking around she saw that 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. Mr. J. T. Waterman, well known in Georgia journalism, has issued a pros pectus stating that he will shortly com mence the publication of the Daily Sun at Griffin, Ga., which will be issued every eyening. Col. C. W. Hancock, in retiring from the Sumter Republican, says: “And now comes the saddest part of this article. To those friends and a liberal public, who have for so many years aided and en couraged me, I shall ever cherish their 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 !” Atlanta has organized a Confederate Survivors Association with about 300 men. More than 3,000 old rebel veterans live in that city. They will form an es cort for Mr. Davis on the day of his visit to Atlanta. Two Georgia emigrants with four chil dren were married at the Court House yesterday by ’Squire Bennett. He was a widower, she a widow. They met on the train and concluded to be married. While waiting in this city the ceremony was performed. —Chattanooga Commer cial. 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. — Constitution. —= rt-* 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.” *A A. .YEAR.

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.

He lived two years in Indian Territory among the Creeks, and never once knew of a Indian man kissing an Indian woman.
