HEALTH
“I don’t think we could keep
house without Thedford’s Black-
Draught. Wo have used it in the
family for over two years with the
best erf results. I have not had a
doctor in the house for that length
of time. It is a doctor in itself and
always ready to make a person well
and happy.”—JAMES HALL, Jack
sonville, Ill.

relieves stomach pains, frees the

is necessary in the home where
Thedford’s Black-Draught is
kept. Families living in the
country, miles from any physi
cian, have been kept in health
for years with this medicine as
their only doctor. Thedford’s
Black-Draught cures bilious
ness, dyspepsia, colds, chills and
fever, bad blood, headaches,
diarrhoea, constipation, colic
and almost every other ailment
because the stomach, bowels
liver and kidneys so nearly con

RAPID FIRE GUN.
Now the Torpedo Bout Will
Have to Look to Its
1 ,;uirels,
The swift, accurate ami danger
ous torpedo boat has lost its ter
rors to the United States navy,
and no longer is it to be feared
greatly by the great, giant battle
ship. The change, or rather rev
olution, in modern warfare is not
j due in any way to the failure of
the torpedo boat, but to the in-
| vention of the new (> pound rapid
lire gun which has just been adopt
ed by the United Statos naval
authorities, says the Philadelphia
Times.
The gun is a wonder and is at
tracting much attention among
the officers of the navy. During
the customary tests which were
held to test its efficiency the in
vestigating board was completely
surprised by the movement of the
little giant. From the very start
it won their admiration, and there
was no hesitancy in making a
favorable report after the tests
had been finished.
The new G pounder is as yet
hardly known. A majority in the
navy have never seen this speci
men, and the government is not
telling all it can accomplish.
Enough has been learned about it,
however, to warrant the assertion
that the iierest torpedo boat that
comes within range of its shells
will lie sure of complete annihila
tion.
It is capable of firing 75 rounds
a minute and at a distanco of one
mile can hit an object repeatedly
at that rate of speed of firing.
A naval officer who witnessed one
of the tests has made a careful
estimate showing just how an
American battleship equipped
with 0 pounders would he able to
put the enemy’s torpedo boat “out
of business” in rapid fire time.
The torpedo boat would require
at least 100 seconds to cover the
distance between one mile and the
safe torpedo boat range, 300 yards,
from the battleship or cruiser.
This would give each of the b
pounders 100 shots at the torpedo
boat, as every possible ship could
bring at least ten of these guns to
bear on the torpedo boat approach
ing from any direction. Conse
quently 1,000 well aimed shells
(6 pound shells) would he pound
ed into the torpedo filer before she
could get near enough to discharge
her torpedoes.
The effect of such a fusillade on
the torpedo boat cannot lie real
ized by any one unfamiliar with
the terrific force of the new gun.
The shells fired would riddle the
torpedo boat with as many holes
as a professional marksman would
riddle a bird with a shotgun.
At the depot in Wichita, among
other passengers who were waiting
for a belated train, was a man
from Topeka. He was very drunk,
hut in a quiet way, paying no at
tention to any one, hut seemingly
absorbed in an attempt to main
tain the perpendicular. A good
W. C. T. U. feminine, who was in
the crowd, saw an opportunity to
shine, and going up to the ine
briate, she Baid:
| “Young man, do you know
where you are going?’"
“Yes’m, I’m goin’ to l J eka.
“Young man, you are going
straight to hell.”
I He looked at her a moment,
then stiffened up and said, with
the extreme politeness of a gentle
man in his cups:
! “Well, ma’am, I am mighty
glad the train is late.”
A PLEASANT SUMMER RESORT.
Quebec and Dahlonega Con
nected by n Daily Mail.
—
Quebec, Ga., May 17, 1904.
Ed. Nugget:
If you will allow mo space in
your valuable paper for this letter,
I will give yon the news from this
section.
I now have a daily mail estab
lished from Dahlonega to my place
from Junol, to September the 30,
and will nr range veiy soon to
open a hack line from Dahlonega
to my plaoe. Any one wanting to
visit us cun writo mo and I will
furnish conveyance from any sec
tion. My charges for conveyance
will be as cheap as 1 cun afford.
Canada has boon visited, in the
past, by many fishing parties, and
had no place to stay long enough
to enjoy our ploasant climate.
This section is the most elevated
and has the coldest water in the
state, and will guarantee sutisfucs
tion to any parties visiting us.
The farmers arc very busy at
this time planting corn.
There was a funny conference at
Zion church last meeting. There
was a split in the members. One
side went on till they were closing
services. And while in prayer,
one of the deacons slipped across
the house and captured the church
book, then the other side had their
conference, each parly excluding
the other.
H. T. Miller of Gaddistown, was
up last week. He is contractor on
the mail line from Dahlonega to
Gaddistown, and is tr ying to bet
ter the services on said route. 1
wish him much success.
Mr. John T. Cassedy of Nash
ville, Tenn., has been one of our
guests for the past ten months.
Ho has had several parties feel
ing good while he has been with us,
and will in the future make more
of them feel so. There has been a
great talk about timber buyers, hut
Mr. Cassedy goes over tho prop
erty and when lilies are pccfect,
puys cash, and I am always glad
for such visitors to this section.
If this escapes the waste basket
I will write you again.
With-best wishes for The Nug
get and its readers.

An exchange declares that some

sanity of an immigration law
which sends away from our shores
a valuable citizen and highly skill

“What is your idea of happi

Said the society woman: Haps

There is a strong sermon in (ho
parable of the bundle of sticks and
i it is a very practicable one in the 1
success and progress of a town. |
Union of interest, energy and co-1
operation in helpful efforts bring j
1 desired result a of upbuilding na

prosper with a spirit of sloven en
ergy and selfish envy permeating
the atmosphere of citizenehip.
So long as citizens are bound tos
gather by bands of common inter
est nothing can prevent their ef
forts’ success, but once individuals
suffer their duty to their town to
be repulsed by selfish motives tho
progress stops.—Winder Demo

It would ho well for drivers of
wagons to remember that all
United Stales mail carriers havo
the light of way in public high
way when on duty. They cannot
ho driven into the ditches by heavy
loaded wagons without violation of
the United States mail law, and if
a collision is made by so doing and
the mail delayed it will not be
long thereafter until a deputy
United States marshal will be look
ing for oertain parties who will
answer to roll call at a U. S. court.
This law applies not only when
meeting a vehicle, but applies to
those in front of the effort to pass.
