One of the surest slpas of a weak heart i * shortness of hreatli after exercise. Your heart Is not able to pump tha blood fast enough to your lungs. Some of the other symptoms of Heart Trouble are. Pains in the Side, Hack and Shoulder; Fainting or Weak Spells; Dry Cough; Swelling of Feet and Ankles; Cold Feet or Hands. No one can afford to allow a weak heart to go without medicine, because weak heart means poor circulation, and poor circulation means weak lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, etc. If, therefore, you suspect heart trouble, begin taking Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure. The Heart Cure will do you good, as It Is a splendid tonic for the blood and nerves, and will revitalize your entire system. Finally, remember, Dr Miles’ New Heart Cure is sold under a guarantee that the first bottle will do you good. If it doesn’t—your money back. “I was afflicted with heart trouble for three years. 1 would he apparently all light and without a moment's warning would fall as though shot. The attacks were frequent, and a terrible dread pos sessed me, as 1 never knew when or where, nor under what conditions I would be attacked, and whether I would survive them. I consulted and was treated by some of the most eminent physicians of the state. Not finding re lief from this source, . I began taking Dr Miles’ New Heart Cure, and began to improve at once. I .used ten bottles, which entirely cured me, as 1 have not had an attack for five years.’—MRS. JOHN DRESBACK.

What condsidcralion should con trol the people in winding men to till important offices? Did you ever stop to consider this question ? Some voters seem to think they should vote for n candidate for governor, congress or judge simp ly because they like tho man, or because the other fellow has held tho office long enough. We fres quontly hear men say, “Well, I know Mr. So-nutl So is nn able man and a pure mnn and makes a good officer, hut I think wo should let somebody else have the office awhile.” Evidently such a man is not be ing controlled by the right con siderations. Our idea is that public office is a public trust, and that public officers should he regarded as ser- vauts of the people. If the people find a man of superior fitness to represent them in any sphere of public life they have a right to make demands upon him, and it is his duty, as a patriotic citizen, to continue to represent them, even though such service necessitates a personal sacrifice of his part. There arc many such men in our country. Hoke Smith gave up a law practice which was paying him $10,000 a year to accept a place in President Cleveland’s cabi net at $8,000 a year. There is not a member of tho Georgia delega tion in congress, that is fit for tho place, that could not make more than $5,000 a year in another field of labor. There is not a supremo court judge or a superior court judge who is not able to make twice the amount he roceivcs us a salary. All men are not controll ed by the love of filthy lucre. In casting our votes let us look at the fitness and the characters of the candidates. We are not to elect them because they desire tho offices. We are to elect them for our own benefit, and wo havo a right to demand the purest and most competent men to serve us. Because a man is in office is no reason why he should be kept there—in fact, if his character is bad or he is incompetent, ho should be retired and a good, competent man put in bis place. On tho oth er hand, if a public servant has proven bimstflf faithful and com petent, the people havo a right to demand a continuation of his ser vices in theii behalf, and should not. fail to make that demand.— Alpharetta Free Press.

A Hall county correspondent last week takes this view of the race for Congress in the 01 h district and writes as follows: “Now that the nice for Congress between Mr, Tate, Dr. Watkins and Mr. Bell is fairly launched, it is well enough to take a calm view of the situation to sec which man represents tho best interests of the Otli Congressional district and which one can be of most service not only to the Democratic party in Congress but to the individual : members of the Democratic parly ! of the 0th Congressional district at j home. j Mr. Bell claims tho support of Hall county on the idea that the county should vote for a home mnn, but it will doubtless lie re membered that when Col. Pony ran for Cougress six years ago Mr. Bell did not recognize this rule, but was found supporting Mr. Tate and pressing his pecu liar fitness for the placo in prefer ence to any one else; also when Col. Thompson ran four years ago Mr. Bell was found closely advo cating tho return of Mr. Tate to Congress, stating that it was nec essary for a man to ho in Con gress several years before ho could render perfect service. Now, that Mr. Bell is running, the question naturally arises, cannot Mr. Tate render more effectual servico to the people of the 9th Congression al district on account of his high standing upon the important com mittees in Congress. Only last year he secured an ap propriation of Five thousand dol lars to purchase a Post Office site in Gainesville, and ho now has a bill pending in Congress appro priating One Hundred Thousand Dollars for the purpose of erect ing a Post Office building, and it seems to mo that it. would be un wise to turn him out before this bill is acted on in Congress. The record that Mr. Tate in Congress is unassailable and ono that any member might justly be proud of, and it does seem to me that tho attack on him that somo of the water melon seed that he sent out did not come up is a low kind of campaigning. What is tho brass band for? Does Mr. Bell expect to win votes by sounds alone and after he gets elected does ho expect to carry the 1 brass band to Washington? It is tho first instance in the history of the 9th Congressional district that any candidate has attempted to run a campaign on this line, and we do not believe that lie will cap ture many substantial votes by such means. Let us throw aside ‘brass bands,’ ‘water melon seed’ and the ‘clap trap’ and weigh tho candidates on their merits and whichever is best qualified to serve the people, let us send.” r* Dealer in General Merchandise SHOES for ALL Children’s a Specialty, Call and See my Spring Goods, MORMON SMITH’S MEM ORY. It is Better Than That Brigham Young. of Editor Whole Push. Says a knowing writer: “An editor is a millionaire without money, a congressman out of a job, a king without a throne. Ho constructs without hammer or saw, builds a railroad without rails or spikes, and farms without a plow. He runs a butcher shop in the journalistic world and deals out brains for cash or credit. He loves those who advertise with him as a brother. The editor is a teach er, it lawyer, a preacher; he sends forth truth to save souls and gets lost himself. He heals the wound ed, cares for tho dying, rescues tho perishing, and then starves him- salf when a ham sandwich of kind ness would jerk him from the jaws of death.” Although President Smith was somewhat in doubt as to tho num ber of children his wifo had given birth to since the manifesto, 1 am told by good Mormons that he has a remarkable memory for names and faces and is oven Brigham Young’s superior in that respect. The man who promulgated the polygamy revelation could not enumerate the names of all his children, but President Smith is said to be able to call each of his children by name, and, more than that, his relations with the entire forty-three are as intimate as are those of the father who has only four or five youngsters. A good Mormon is my authority for these statements. And by tho way, a sloiy told on Brigham Young is being charged up to President Smith. This lit tle tale is so good that it is worth repeating. It seems that one day Brigham was walking down Main street when he saw threo boys smoking cigarettes street corner. The president stopped Singling out the cigarette smoker he said: “Little boy, don’t you know that it is wicked to smoke those nasty cigaretts? What would your mother and father say if they were to see you now ?” The boy looked up in the speak - cr’s face in astonishment. “Don’t you know me, pa?” he shouted, as his eye flashed fire. Brigham cut his sermon short and passed on. — From tho Sale Telegram. small on a short. A level-headed old bachelor was Alderman Waters of Toledo, who died the othci day. It appears that he had three sweethearts, either of whom he loved well enough to marry. But ho was de terred from becoming a Bouedict through fear that the two swoet hearts who must necessarily have been disappointed would bring suits for breach of promise. So he remained a bachelor, and at his death bequeathed to each of three the sum of $10,000. A curious sight was witnessed at Goodland, Kansas, the other day, according to the Kansas City Journal. A Rock Island house containing 750 tons of ice caught fire and entirely burned away, leaving the huge pile of ico stand-, ing stark and grim against the scenery, it is said that the ice pile melted only around tho edges. In the contest of elements fire couldn’t win. A Lonely Sentry. A lonely sentry, pacing his beat along a river bank during the ciy- il "’ar, sang softly to himself, “Jesus Loycr of My Soul.” A sharpshooter across tho narrow river saw and heard him. Ho took aim and was about to fire, when he heard theso words, “cover my defenseless head with t he shadow of thy wing.” His riflo dropped, and tho sontry lived. Years after wards they mot. “When I saw you that night” said tho sharp shooter singing as you walked, I determined to kill you, but when I heard you cry, cover my defense less head, I could havo soon shot my mother. The spirit of Cod that promp ted the sentrys hymn unnerved tho hand and lowered tho riflo of the intended destroyer. Cod was near that man, though he knew it not, and his unseen presence, mightier than a bastion of steel, shielded his life from harm. More wonderful still, he made him wait thirty years before letting him find it out.—Christian Observer. Soldiers who served in the Span- ish-Amcrican and Philippine wars, have been misinformed ns to thoir rights to the two months extra pay under tlie recent decision of the comptroller of the treasury depart ment. It is not true that each and every soldier who served in said wars is entitled. The decision gives no additional rights to sol diers who enlisted in state organi zations, that they did not already possess, nor to soldiers of the reg ular army, the latter not being en titled to the said two months extra pay, unless they enlisted after April 21, 1898, and before Oct. 26, 1898, and who were discharged prior to Jan. I, 1900, and whoso service was “honest and faithful.” Neatness is a good thing for a girl; if she does not learn it when she is young, she never will. It takes more neatness to make a girl look well than it does to make a boy look passable, not because a boy, to start in with, is better looking than a girl, but his clothes area different kind, not so many colors in them, and people don’t expect a boy to look so pret ty* A girl that is not neatly dressed is called a sloven, and no one likes to look at her. Pier lace may be pretty and her eyes bright, but if there is a spot of dirt on her cheeks and her fingers are black and her apron is dirty and her skirt is torn she can’t be liked. Learn to be neat and when you learn it will take care of it self.—Ex. Somehow or other the man who never reads the newspapers al ways manages to see any uncom plimentary reference to himself.
