May 27-ly, * THE PERFECTIONISTS, THE CINCINNATI BAND OF FANATICS. THEY ARE DESERTED BY ONE OF THEIR FIRST CONVERTS—START LING DISCLOSURES THREAT ENED. In July last the Cincinnati Enquirer sprung a startling sensatior upon its readers, disclosing the existence, where abouts, mode of worship, etc., of a band of men and women, self-styled “Perfec tionists.” The head centres of this band were two ladies well known in Cin cinnati society, being members of the upper tendom, rich and residing in su perb homes on Walnut Hill in that city. Mrs. Martin the chief, called herself and was believed to be by her fanatical fol lowers, the Saviour of the world, W'hile her sister, Mrs. Brookes, dared to assume the character of the Holy Ghost. As strange and as blasphemous as was this sacrilege, these women had numerous followers among intelligent and well-to do people. The worship was conducted nightly in secret, in the parlors of either one of the ring leaders houses. The claim of the “Perfectionists,” in brief, was that Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Brookes were so positively perfect in everything that they were actually the second and third persons in the adorable trinity on eaith. They claimed that preachers were humbugs, and church going a farce, and in their fanatical zeal tiiey alleged that the whole world in a short time would prostrate itself at the feet of these two women. They still haye their followers and practice their ridiculous fetich wor ship. One of the converts to this absurd religious extravagance was a young man, a clerk in the Adams Express oflice in Cincinnati, who received a salary of eighteen hundred dollars a year. Under the influence of the Martin woman and her partner he absented himself from his oflice so often and neglected his duty so constantly that he was discharged. The Coukant prints below an article from a late issue of the New York World. The Miss Andress alluded to is a beautiful and charming young lady, the daughter of wealthy parents, also residing on Walnut Hill in Cincinnati, she has been for some time infatuated with the band of sacriligious pretenders. “About two weeks ago the fanatical band of ‘Perfectionists’ created a sensation by making anew and distinguished convert —the Rev. Dr. I. Jerome, a minister from London, England. The excitement attending this affair has hardly died away before another startling incident is brought to light. Miss Marie Andress, a prom inent young lady of Walnut Hill, one of the earliest believers in the strange faith, has be come a backslider. The young woman has had a terrible time to escape from the clutches of Mrs. Martin, the so- called Christ, and her pa rents fear that she may yet return to her strange religion. Miss Andress has for many months been fascinated by the ‘Perfectionists,’ She is engaged to a young gentleman in New York, whose efforts to lead her away [from the little band has heretofore proved futile. On Sunday night, September 4, she was, after much persua sion, induced to leave the city, and is now at Salem, Ind,, with her mother. She has written a letter severing her connection with the ‘Per fectionist,’but is said to be in a pitiable frame of mind. She declares that Mrs. Martin has pre dicted that she will die within thirty days, and the female Christ has charged her with commit ting an unpardonable sin by leaving the society. The ‘Perfectsonist’ have put forth every effort to find out the whereabouts of their recaicitrant member, but have so far been unsuccessful. The brother, sister and affianced of Miss An dress visited the Brookes residence, where the meetings are held, and demanded to see the gill. One of the party passed through the win dows and saw Mrs. Martin seated on a sort of throne surrounded by her faithful followers. She was expounding on friendship, and her re marks was directed particularly to Miss An dress, who was of a disposition to follow her lover and leave them. She was warned that a terrible result would follow her leaving the band, and the poor girl was greatly terrified. She saw' her lover, but she refused to accompany him. She is afraid that she is irre trievably lost. Her family are Avatching her closely, and her mother returned home to-night from a visit to her unliapyy daughter. If the ‘Perfectionists’ do not get hold of her within the next thirty days her relatives say she will make some startling disclosures. The Per fect people are greatly exercised over the matter and Mrs. Martin heaps the most bitter maledic tions upon her former worshipper.” CAPRICE OF FATE. Secretary Lamar to Wed tlie Sweetheart of His Youth. The Coukant delights in the capers Cupid sometimes cuts. Love laughs at locks and bolts, and makes merry as well with age and exalted position, The president set the example, and now his secretary of the Interior seems about to follow it. The amiable and btilliant Lamar, of Mississippi, has finished his summer jaunt with his sweetheart away up in the mountains of New Hampshire and has returned to Washington to sigh and dream. The New York World has this to say about it: “Secretary Lamar was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel Monday evening. He left for Washington early yesterday morning. Mr. Lamar has been spending a few weeks in New Hampshire hills, and he appears to be much benofitted by the bracing air of that region. His vacation has had a flavor of romance. It was passed in the company of his finance, who is a handsome Georgia widow. There is no longer much dcubt that Mr. Lamar is about to follow in tho president’s footsteps and get married. The name of the lady is Mrs. Holt, and she resides in Macon, Ga. She is handsome, accomplished, the possessor of a fortune, and is a member of one of the best families in the south. It is an old love affair renewed, they say. Mr. Lamar was one of her early suitors, but owing to the caprice of fate and an unhappy misunderstand ing they were separated. Yeaz-s rolled by. When they next meet Mr. Lamar was a widow er and his former sweetheart a widow. Mr. Lamar found that he had not lost his interest in the charming sweetheart of his younger days. The wedding will take place, it is said, some time this winter.” An End to Bone Scraping-. Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, IU., says: “Having received so much benefit from Electric Bitters, I feel it my duty to let suffering human ity know it. Have had a running sore on my leg for eight years; my doctors told me I would have to have the bone scraped or leg amputated. I used, instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven boxes Bucklen’e Arnica Salve, and my leg is now sound and well.” Electric Bit ters are sold at fifty cents a bottle, and Bucklen’s Arnica Salve at 25c. per box at D. W. Curry’s Drug Store. 5 The Taylor brothers, are stumping Tennessee as the nominees of the Demo cratic anti Republican parties, respective ly, tor Governor.

In order for our people to properly ap preciate the privilige of an American citizen, and the superiority of our insti tutions, laws and customs over that of other nations, it is important that we mix with other people, studying other crowds, institutions and customs, thus we become able to institute intelligent comparison of merit and demerit. Cir cumstanced as I have been for more than two years past, I have found time occa sionally to study the characteristics "of other governments and other people, es pecially that of our sister republic Mex ico. In this study I have found much in the history of Mexico to admire and commend, and much that I, as an Ameri can, could not but condemn. Ameri cans are accustomed in speaking ot the Mexican government and people to at tribute to them an unstable and weak government, controlled ami governed by a weak, restless and vicious people. In this vve permit ourselves overcome by our own exalted opinions of the superiority of our government and its people, and thus failing to comprehend the merits of the Mexican government and the great ability of her people. It is to such vis ions that may be attributed the advan tages gained by cur American neighbors in diplomacy with our government. In our recent diplomatic controversy over the Cutting matter the impartial histori an that respects truth and ability will* at least record the fact that our Mexican neighbors have displayed great diplomatic ability, equal to America’s, at least. And those ot us living on the border will al ways believe that they by their superior ability have given Americans cause for shame on account of the weakness dis played by our agents conducting the controversy for the United States. Is there an American who glories in the history of our fathers that does not feel that the American special envoy Sedg wick, by his conduct disgraced our gov erment, and that the secretary, by his re fusal to immediately recall him, involves the nation in the scandal? Can any man of common sense acquainted with the facts doubt that Sedgwick attended a Mexican ball given by a Mexican club, and that he actually became intoxicated? Has Sedgwick denied getting drunk? Grant that lie is of guilty of no other in discretion charged; and yet does it not clearly appear that he is not a fit repre sentative to revise a work supposed to have been fully investigated by our in eorruptable Jackson. Are Americans— Georgians—people of my beloved native country surprised that their sons upon the border feel mortified, insulted and outraged at such conduct? Is not all this shame and disgrace the failure of those in power to recognize that the Mexicans have great ability, and that men of sec ond rate ability should never be sent to meet the able diplomatist of our neigh bors—the Mexicans? I cannot pursue the thought further, as this letter is now too lengthy. In conclusion may I be permitted to allude to an old comrade of mine, a man who for more than 30 months served with me as lieutenant in my company, the 40th Georgia volunteers. A man that now, after the smoke of battle is cleared away, asks the good people of Bartow county for an office, I refer to J. F. Linn. A man who, as soldier or civilian, never proved recreant to duty. Knowing him as I know him, I believe he needs the office or he would not ask it. It does not become me to say more in his behalf, nor neither would I undertake at this distance to decide upon the merits or de merits of his opponents. I only intend to say that the people of Bartow county can rely upon J. F. Linn’s honesty and ability, the true test of a democratic as pirants for office. Thos. W. Dodd. Our Rome Advertisers. The merchants of Rome are on their mettle, and are going to reach afar out for trade this season. After such a dis astrous flood last spring they know it is necessary for Rome to “hump herself.” They appreciate the value of printer’s ink and will be spread it on with a liber al hand this fall. It will be seen that two good firms of the town have already espied the columns of The Courant and and the great good there is in them. They appreciate the paper as an adver tising medium. Messrs. W. M. Gammon & Cos. have a well displayed double-column ad that will attract attention by the uncertain tones in which the firm speaks out. They certainly have an immense stock of goods, which they bought from first hands and not through “middle men.” This house stands head in their line in north Georgia. They deal exclusively in clothing and gentleman’s wear gener ally, and their stock would reflect credit on*any institution of the kind in Atlanta or Chattanooga. They make a respect ful bow and asks those that do their trading in Rome to come to see them and their large and handsome stock Messrs. H. B. Parks & Cos. have also a handsome advertisement and speaks for a share of the trade that goes to Rome. They have one of the handsomest stores in Rome, with all the modern conven iences to expedite business. Their stock is entirely new and well displayed and nothing will be left undone for the fair treatment of customers that may give them a call. Mr. Charlie Moon, so long a merchant here and scores his friends by the hun dreds will be found at this popular house, ever ready and willing to see his old friends. Even if they do not wish to purchase anything Charlie is always happy to see his old friends. Good Results in Every Case. D. A. Bradford, wholesale paper dealer of Chattanooga, Tenn., writes that he was seriously afflicted with a severe cold that settled on his lungs: had tried many remedies without benefit Being induced to try Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, did so and was entirely cured by use of a few bottles. Since which time he has used in his family for all Coughs and Colds with best results. This is the experience of thousands whose lives have been saved by this Wonderful Discovery.

It is a settlement of Arcadians who displaced the Spanish founders of the village, and to-day are living In contentment far from any other habitation. The people are engaged in the lumber business, and despite the swampy and malarial condition of the surrounding country, are a hardy and long-lived race. The younger villagers now use English to a greater degree among themselves, but their elders cling to their mother tongue. Though isola ted, the settlement is hospitable and a pleasant spot to visit. The best way to make a name is to to have an aim. THE OCTOBER ELECTION. How the Constitutional Amendments are to be Voted on. In order to set before the voters of Georgia, in an intelligent form, what they are expected to vote on at the State election, which occurs on the 6th of October, the following ticket has been prepared by Capt. W. 11. Harrison, clerk of the executive department, and passed upon by the attorney general as correct in form, and published in the Atlanta Constitution: For Governor, JOHN B. GORDON. For Secretary of State, N. C. BARNETT. For State Treasurer, ROBERT U. HARDEMAN. For Comptroller-General, WILLIAM A. WRIGHT. For Attorney-General, CLIFFORD ANDERSON. For State Senator, district. For Representative County. “For (or against, as case may be,) ratification of the amendment striking paragraph 15 of sec tion 7, article 3, from the constitution.” (Local bills.) “For (or against, as case maybe,) ratification of amendment to the last sentence of article 7 section 1, paragraph 1, of the constitution.” (Maimed soldiers.) Paragraph 15 of section 7, article 3, of the con stitution is as follows: All special or local bills shall originate in the House of Representatives. The speaker of the House of Representatives shall, within live days from the organization of the General Assembly appoint a committee,consisting of one from each Congressonal district, whose duty it shall be to consider and consolidate all special and local bills, on the same subject, and report the same to the House, and no special or local bill shall be read or considered by the house until the same has been reported by the committee, unless by a two-thirds vote; and no bill shall be considered or reported to the house by said committee, uu less the same shall have been laid before it with in fifteen days after the organization of the gen eral assembly, except by a two-thirds vote. The firsksection of the act to amend the last sentence of article 7, section 1, paragraph 1, of the constitution,reads thus: Beit enacted by the goneial assembly of the State of Georgia, That the last sentence of article 7, section 1, paragraph 1, of the constitu tion of 1877 be, and the same is hereby amended by adding thereto, at the end of said sentence, the following words: “And to make suitable provision for such Confederate soldiers as may have been permanently injured in such service,” so that said sentence, when so amended, shall read as follows: “To supply the soldiers who lost a limb or limbs in the military service of the Confederate States w ith suitable artificial limbs during life, and to make suitable provision for such Confed erate soldiers as may have been permanently injured in such service.” If the amendment regarding local bills be ratified, they may originate either in the house or in the senate. The only requirement now in force concerning them that will remain will be the necetsity of advertising them. FACTS WITHOUT FICTION. We take from the Dalton Argus this week an excellent article on the impor tance of merchants advertising. We heartily agree with the Argus and hope that our people who are just now in dulging in some strong hopes for Car tersville, will read, reflect and govern themselves accordingly. The article will apply to Cartersville as well as Dalton : Nothing would do Dalton more gocd than the appearance of an advertisement of every firm and factory in each of its two papers. Above all the blow and bluster of a community, there is noth ing that carries with it more of the gloomy idea of crape on the door knob than a set of merchants too poo *, too stingy, or too unappreciative to sustain their local papers. There are very few business men in Dalton who do not, through the year give their money to schemes of advertising, such as hotel registers, business charts, etc., that never reach the trading community, and which could be much more advantageously aud economically invested with their papers. If either of the papers were much inferior to what they are, they would still exert an influence which is not in the pow er of the most imaginary “big gun” of the town. The paper is ever doing its work in some quarter. It is an every day occurrence that some humorously inflated individual impregnates tils spon taneous wit with a kind gangrene sar casm at the expense of either one or other of the Dalton papers. The utter stupidity of this sort of thing could not be more intensified if we should daily go into one of the places held by these char acters and constantly remind them of their actual smallness by comparison with larger concerns of a similar line, with which we have had dealings. Take any business or any profession of the town and place them along side of those of the great centres, the papers of which they sarcastically place in comparison with those of their own town, and the question as to which would take a bet ter position in the parrallel lines would not be one of exciting controversy. The truth of the business is that a town cannot prosper whose business men do not advertise. It is one of the recog nized infallible evidences of energy and prosperity. If the papers are not such as meet their approval they should make them so; but they should no more attempt to belittle those which they have, than that they should laugh at the patched seat of their pastor’s trousers. Either act is the stupidity of bigoted ignorance. RAILROAD RATES. A Circular That Caused a Sensation. A special to the Louisville Courier- Journal from Atlanta says: The Georgia Railroad Commissioners have just issued a circular to; he rail roads, which is calculated to create a seueation. Some time ago a complaint was made that the railroad' allowed through rates which discriminated against certain cities, involving the prin ciple of cheap rates for the longest haul. As these rites generally were from points outside the State, the railroads threatened to carry the matter up to the United States Supreme Court o . consti tutional grounds. The commiK'i >n held, notwithstanding the threat, that it had the right to regulate such ra es, and would do so whenever it deemed neces sary. The commission has changed its tactics, however, and has just issued a circular in which attention is called to the fact that local rates are out of pro portion to through rates, and must be made to bear the same relations of dis tance and quantity as through rates. This will force the railroads either to re duce the local rates or to raise through rates. After all, there are but few men who can go into the loafing business and make a success of it. NUMBER 35 Paul Hamilton Hayne. (Died July 6th, 1886.) Reared from the race unfaltering hope endows With happier lore than ritfid reason shrines, For you, dead friend, midsummer tamely twines The exeqnial wreath to rest on those pale brows! You should have died with airy and dulcet vows Of mating birds in April shades and shines, And when the glooms of your dear Georgian pines Had flecked with furtive green their feathery boughs! For as the earlier dews of spring will throng Bright on some flower that gives to breeze or bee Its delicate symmetries and fragrant breath, Even so, for years, clung shining rouud your song The certitude of immortality, The faitli in resurrection after death. New York, Aug. 30,1886. -Edgar Fawcett. AN EVENT OF INTEREST. Miss Winnie Davis, Daughter of Ex- President Davis, Crowned at Rich mond, Va. as the Confederacy’s Daughter. A Richmond special to the Baltimore Sun gives the following particulars of the crowning of Miss Davis, the “Daughter of the Confederacy “Miss Winnie Dayis, the youngest daughter of ex-President Jefferson Davis, who is fondly called by her father the “Daugh ter of the Confederacy,” was this even ing tendered an informal reception at the Confederate Soldiers’ Home, near this city, by Camp Lee veterans. Miss Da vis has been on a visit here for a week or so and was a week ago elected an honora ry member of this camp. Nine hun dred or a thousand people w r ere present to welcome Miss Davis on this occasion. A.mong those on the grounds were many distinguished ex-Confederates. Mbs Davis is a tall, stylish-looking brunette. She was born in ihe Confederate Execu tive mansion in this city just two years before the collapse of the Confederacy. She is a lady of fine presence and mental culture. She has recently contributed an article to the North American Review on Ireland, which will shortly appear in that publication. It is said by the few persons who have been allowed to see this article, that it possesses very decided merit. “The Federal and Confederate flags both flew from the flag-stall'of the Con federate Home this evening. The old veterans gave the daughter of the Presi dent of the Confederacy a hearty wel come. Every man shook her cordially by the hand. None of your mincing shakes; but with a good, strong grip. A salute was fired in honor of the distin guished guest as she arrived upon the ground. Gov. Fitzhugh Lee introduced Mbs Davis and welcomed her to what was once the capital of the Confederacy. In doing so, Gov. Lee felicitated the Lee Camp that they had among them the daughter of the Confederacy. He said there had been two interpretations of the Constitution. The people of the South, led by their statesmen, had held that they had aright to State government; the people of the North, led by the strong intellect ot a Webster and a Story, held that they did not, and they fought it out; but these old veterans had no cause to be ashamed of the part they had ta ken ; they had borne the heritage of glo ry and fought bravely, till after a long series of splendid victories, in which they had illustrated the bright pages of history. They had laid down their arms at Appomattox not conquered, but wea ried out with victory. Here they had devoted themselves in the time of peace to the promotion of the interests of the restored Union, and had displayed the same fortitude and endurance that they had displayed in battle. He then grace fully presented the badge and the eertfi cate of membership to Miss Davis, who bowed low. He said, in doing so, that if she was the daughter of the Confed eracy, then she was the daughter of the old Confederates, and they had a right to claim her as such.” Governor McDaniel has not been daz zled by either cit\r or official life. He has bought in Walton county, the grove in which he was born. The house has long been removed, and he will build immediately a model home. Designs are now being made for it by Mr. W. W. Thomas, of Athens. Governor Mc- Daniel is a prudent man and a wise in vestor, and has long had an income in excess of his needs. He has acquired a surplus that makes him independent. He will, however resume the practice of law next year, giving attention to such cases only as befits the dignity of the po sition he has held for four years. lie goes back to his people illustrious, be loved and without a stain on his record or shadow on his name. What Has Been Discovered ? One of the four attorneys for the An archists claims to be in possession of facts and information entirely new to tbe court. He said to-day: “It is of such a nature that.; had it been presented dur ing the recent trial it would have cer tainly altered the verdict, and there would not have been any death sen tences. We claim that anything that would have mitigated the penalty before the verdict should now have a great deal of weight in securing anew trial. If Judge Gray does not grant a rehearing, we are almost sure to get it from the Supreme Court on information and er rors.” Georgia will be forced to introduce tbe whipping post for minor offenses in self defense. There are now 1,500 convicts in the chain-gang of the state, and this number does not include those convicts in county chain-gangs. The great bulk of these convicts are negroes. The whip ping should have ended the punishment of many of these cases. Swift and sure punishment is what the criminal needs. The negro, in most cases, does not need long punishment. This whipping poet business is a practical question, but tbe constitution of the state prohibits it.— News and Advertiser. Geo. R. Brown is nephew of Senator Brown. He would be a representative in the next legislature from Cherokee county. He is opposed because of his relationship, and the prospect that Sen ator Brown will ask for the people’s money for betterments to the state road. But the nephew is equal to the emer gency. He declared that he is opposed to any bill proposing to grant pay for betterments of one shall be introduced in the next legislature. More than that, he would not vote for such a bill even if his Uncle Joseph should ask him to vote tor it. A couple were riding in the country, when they passed a barnyard in which were two calves.
