During this week special services

having spent several days here last
ye:.r.
She will begin her work with us
Sunday at llo’clock. The public is
cordially invited to all services.
The pastyr earnestly desires that

The Infant Swallows the D»e.
With a vise like grip upon her
head and the spoon containing the
unpleasant “Piatt mixture" tilted
against her clinched teeth, the Cu
ban infant might kick and squirm
and shriek, but must swallow or
choke. It was a foregone conclusion
that she would swallow.
No doubt that the mixture was n
crude mess—more like the ill-stnell-
ing and ill tasting "yarbs’’ of some
savage witch doctor than the medi
cine of a refined and enlightened
physician. No doubt it contained
more engredients that were stupid
and useles-, if not positively harm
fill, than ingredients that were whole
some and beneficial. No doubt the
method of administering the dost-
was about as tactful us—well, as
Senators Plait’s interview in which
he described the Cuban people as a
race of liavs and their leading mdti
ns mostly rogues.
But when it is all over it will be
found that, aside from the little de
tail of having replaced Cuban grati
tude with Cuban resentment, we
have secured practically all that we
would have h*d if the Platt amend
ment had never been devised bv om
profound statesman of the Caliinei
and the Senate. And for this we
should lie thankful. —New York

have proved that Electric Bitters
will quickly cure such troubles. “1
suffered for years with kidney
trouble," writes Mrs Phebe Cherley,
of Peterson, Iu, “and a laiue back
pained me so 1 could not dress m>.-

cured me, and, although 73 years old,
I now am able to do all my hou-i
work.” It overcomes constipation,

Kauri It lloKlmmt.
Col. W. E. Wooten, commanding
theJJEourth regiment, is iu receipt of
a communication which occasions
him and the members of the regi
ment generally a-great deal of pleas
ure.
Some time ago the Chatham Ar
tillery, of Savannah, was invited In
participate in the enenmpinetij, and
at a meeting heltl a few nights ago it
was decided by that conimnud to ac
• opt the invitation. Col. Woolen
has been uotified that the Chathams
will go to Bainbridge at the proper
time, and will be present at tin-
formal opening of the encampment,
As is well known, the Fourth’s e
oainpnu-nt begins on the 18th Inst,
and will continue for one week.
With one exception, the Chatham
Artillery is said to he the oldest unl
it ia organization in the United States.
It, served through the revolutionary
war, and participated in some of the
great battles of that conflict between
the colonies and King George. It
has offered its services to the gov-
iniueiit promptly after call for vol-
teteeif, and in the war between the
states was a famous Confederate bat-
cry.
When the call tens made for vol
unteers at the outbreak of the u a
•vtth with Spam, tiie Cliatlmuis went
to Griffin to he mustered in, aud
‘here met a number of the . officers
rid men who had belonged to i lie
Fourth Georgia regiment, and wtfre
lien attached to the First Georgia
regiment, U. S. V. At Griffin and
afterwards at Chickatnaugu, t.h«
Chathams and the officers and men
of the First Georgia became great
friends and companions, and tiie en
campment at Bainliridge will b<
largely m the nature of a reunion.
The artillery will carry to Ban.

First-class Job Work executed at
this office, i
The Atlanta Journal and the Ac
worth Post are having ^lively tut
over the old question whether the
term “United States” is a smgil.tr
or plural r.oun. The trouble with
these esteemed contemporaries is that
they both are right and both are
wrong. Thu right aud wrong sides
of this q estiou are to be i!cteru.. | i*d
ml grammatically, but by the period
>f usage. Before I lie provision for
rates rights in the federal oonstuu-
ion was abrogated by the result of
>f the civil war, it was ci.tir ly
.1 roper to iise the plural verb, winch
was the commonly accepted form,
•mt since then a new Interpretation
lias been forced upon the people who
fought for the constitution, and in
accordance with the result of that
mighty conflict, it. is now proper to
use the singular verb. The constitu
tion is now obsolete, or at least out
of Jute, in this fast age.
