In Memory
Of Arthline Brooks, who was born
November 4th, 1822, and died July 15th,
1900. She had three children and ten
grand-children, one brother and two
sisters and a large number of relatives
and friends to mourn her loss. Empty
is the chair left here with us, but an
other cne is occupied in heaven. She
told us many times she was ready and
willing to go when the summons came
and that she preferred as much to go
as to get well for she knew she would
then go to glory where all is peace, joy
and love.
She has gone to our father who has
bean waiting for her thirty-six years
They are walking together now in heav
en and how happy they are together.
Our good neighbors and friends were
very kind to her during her siokneas
and were so much help to us. She is
not dead but asleep in Jesus. Sleep
mother sleep. We hope to meet you by
and by and be with you for ever more.

ROBBED THE GRAVE.
A startling incident of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
“I was in a most dreadful oondition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyer sun
ken, tongue coated, pain continually
in back and sides, no appetite— gradual
ly growing weaker day by day. Three
physicians had given me up. Fortu
nately, a friend advised trying ‘ ‘Elec
tric Bitters, ’ ’ and to my great joy and
surprise, the first bottle made a deoided
improvement. I continued their use
for three weeks, and am now a well
man. I know they saved my life, and
robbed the grave of another viotim,”
No one should fail to try them. Ouly

Yes, you are prosperous, perhaps you
may have plenty to eat and plenty to
wear, aud even some of the luxuries of
life. But have you as much of theoom
fortg of life as you ought to have. If
one half of the people, or one third the
people are getting twice or three
times as much of the luxuries of life as
you do, and at the same time do not
preform one half the labor to create lux
uries that you do. is it not dear that
there is something wrong somewhere
If we had an honest system of gov
ernment, the men who toil to oreste
wealth would be the men who would
enjoy that wealth when it was created.
Under the present system one half en
joys it. If you are satisfied with that
kind of prosperity just continue to vote
for the two old parties and you will con
tinue to enjoy that kind.

1. BRIDGES ACCEPTS
I
Writes an Interesting Letter of
Acceptance Which We
Publish in Full.
Bethlehem, Ga, August 24, 1900.
Messrs. Joe L. Mobley, Jna M. Tuck
er and J- N. Dickenson.
Members of Notification Committee.
Gentlemen:—Your’s notifying me of
my nomination for representative by
the People’s Party Convention of Wal
ton county to hand. In reply will ask
you to excuse unavoidable delay. Also
I prefer you had accepted my statement
that I am not seeking political honors,
as my em ironnrents are sach that I fear
I cannot fally conform to yoar request.
But since life is an arena in which
toil and sacrifice are the common lot of
those who advocate a reformation of the
affairs of government, aud while 1 sin
cerely wish this trust had fallen on one
more worthy to bear it, oue more able to
represent aud defend the noble cause
you espouse; and one who coaid lead
the party to a more brilliant viotory
than is provable for me, I accept. Mach
of the happiness and prosperity of this
and fatare generations depends largely
upon the actions of our representatives
of the state and nation.
We believe our demauds worthy of
consideration by those vested with a
ballot, for the organization was born in
the midst of a nation fast becoming
homeless, for in our beloved state pro
vided with unbounded natural resourc
es, with its pleasant seasons as they
come and go, where the beautiful rays
of sunshine are continually being shed
upon the earth, inviting out the various
kinds of vegetation three fourths of
the people have no place to call home.
Here where the products of the
earth are mouldering in heaps for the
want of a sufficient medium of ex
change.
Yours is the party that promises an
equal opportunity before the law to
those who make an effort, and a reward
for the willing hand.
Yours is an organization, that would
style a government of, for and by the
people; for we believe in referring any
important measure back to the people
before it beoomes a law, thereby clear
ing the statute books of caucus made
laws.
And as the state contributes largely
to educational interest we think it
should publish school books and snp
ply them at cost saving the people of
the state one or more million dollars
annually. By so doing thousands of
children who are now deprived of an
education on account of their parents
not being able to bay books coaid re
ceive their prorata of the funds. Do not
fancy this paternalism when it is said
thut the Federal government stores liqu
ors free of charge for 5 years and only
taxes what remains after 5 years of leak
age and evaporation.
We would not stay the ship of progress
in any philanthropic endeavor, or turn
backward any enterprise looking to the
good of the community or common
wealth. But it seems that the affairs
of the government oould be administer
ed in a somewhat more economical
way.
For instance, it is said that the rail
road running from Washington City to
New Orleans gets five thousands dollars
annually for the car that carries mail,
also receives so much extra per pound
for carrying the mail; when it is esti
mated that the oost of the cars is only
four thousand dollars each, a tribute of
one thousands dollars over and above
cost every year. We also find the tax
rate of Georgia Increasing over 200 per
oent. during the last 15 years, as the
levying at beginning of the period was
$750,000, and now it stands at the enor
mously high sum of $2 543,980. This is
the faoe of the faot that the valuation
of taxable property has increased sever
al million dollars, while the price of
prodace has decreased upon an average
of 100 per oent. Cotton the great mon
ey crop falling from 12 to 15 cents to 5
and 6 oents, and in some instances less,
regardless of drouths or floods. An ad
justment of this and other things just
as important will contribute largely <o
the suocess and happiness of the people
of this, the grandest state in the
anion. Thanking you for your confi
dence bestowed, I remain yours sin
oerely-
Peace on earth, good will to men

FOR FIFTY TIMES ITS PRICE.
I awoke last night with severe pains
in my stomach. I never felt so badly
in all my life. When I came down to
work this morning I felt so week I

McCurdy’s drug store and they recom
mended Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera

magic and one dose fixed me alright. It
certainly is the finest thing I ever used
for stomach trouble I shall not be
without it in my home hereafter, for I
should not oare to endure the sufferings
of list night again for fifty times its

A LIFE AND DEATH FIGHT.
Mr. W. A. Hines of Manchester, la.,
writing of his almost miarcalous escape
from death, says: "Exposure after meas
les induced serious lung trouble, whicn
ended in Consumption. I had frequent
bomorrhages and coughed night and
day. All my doctors said 1 must soon
die. Then I began to use Dr. King's
New Disoovery for Consumption, which
completely cared me. I would not be
without it even if it cost $5.00 a bottle.
Hundreds have used it on my recom
mendation and all say it never fails to
oure Throat, Chest and Lung troubles."

Last fall I sorained my left hip whiTe
handling some heavy boxes. The doc
tor 1 called on said at first it wa a
slight strain and would soon be well,
but it grew worse and the doctor then
said I had rheumatism. It continued
to grow worse and I could hardly get
around to work. I went to a drag store
and the druggist recommended me to
try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. 1 tried
it and one-half of a 50 cent bottle cured
me entirely. 1 now recommend it to
all my friends.—F. A. Babcock, Erie,
