A Novel Occurrence.
Pissengers on the G. J. &S. trams
Tuesday and Wednesday of last week
had the pleasure of witnessing some
thing unique in their experience as
travelers. They had heard of trains
which stopped to pick b ackberries, but
now they witnessed another sight. 'I he
train stopped in order to let the passen
gers see a negro whipped.
Tuesday afternoon a rock was thrown
iuto the car window about a mile and
a half below Monroe. .The engineer
backed the train and the force caught a
negro bov who was known to have
thrown one of the rocks. He was car
ried to Social Circle aad brought back
to the same place, where Captain Har
rison made and agreement with the
lad’s mother, the terms of which were
that the mother was to administer cor
poral chastisement on the spot, in con
sideration of which the conductor lore
boro prosecution. Wednesday evening,
the old woman brought up her fifteen
year-old girl to the uaiu where she per
formed the same service as before, Cap
tain Harrison kindly stopping the train
for the benefit of the passengers.
Walton News and Messenger.
The ancients believed that rheuma
tism was the work of a demon within a
man. Any one who has had an attack
of sciatic or influnmatojy rheumatism
will agree that the infliction is demoni
ac enough to warrant the belief. It has
never been claimed that Chamberlain s
Pain Balm would cast out demons, bat
it will care rheumatism, and hundreds
bear testimony to the truth of this
statement. One application relieves
the pain, and this quick relief which it
affords is alone worth its cost. For
sale by, Winder Drug Cos ,
Mr. J. M. Tucker, of Walton county,
was in the city this morning.
Thk Economist is glad to know that
the clever and efficient clerk to the or

Use Present Opportunities
Do not keep the alubistor boxes of
love and tenderness sealed up until
your friends are dead. Fill their lives
with sweetness. Speak cheering words
while thoit ears can hear them. The
things you mean to pay when they are
gone, say before they go. The flowers
yon mean to send for their coffins, send
to brighten and sweeten their homes
before thoy leave them. If a sermon
helps you, it will do the preacher good
to tell him of it, If the editor writ( s
an article you like, he can write a still
better one next week if you send him
a note of thanks. If fmy friends have
vases laid away with perfumes of sym
patliy and affection, would be glad if
they would bring them out in some of
my weary hours, that I may be cheer
ful ana refreshed by them. If we
fulfill oar mission we must anoint our
friends beforehand for their burial.
Tears falling on tho icy brow makes
poor and tardy atonement for coldness
a.id selfishness in long, straggling years.
Flowers piled on the coffin cast no fra
giance backward over the weary years.
