legislators ARE AT WORK Georgia House and Senate Organ ize and Elect Officers. memorable session promised Hon. Clark Howell, President of Senate ; Hon. John D. Little, Speaker of the House. The Georgia legislature assembled iu Atlanta Wednesday at 1*0:45 o’clock a. m., and began what promises to be au interesting session. At a caucus held at 9 o’clock a. m., Hon. John D. Little, of Muscogee, was nominated for speaker by a unani mous vote; Hon. N. A. Morris was named for speaker pro tern; Hon. John T. Boifeuillet, of Bibb, for clerk; F. A. Durham., of Bartow, messenger, while J. H. Williford, of Fayette, was nominated for doorkeeper. After the election of doorkeeper the caucus adjourned, and there was a re cess of ten minutes before the house was called to order in regular session. It was 10:45 o’clock before the house was called to order by Hon. John T. Boifeullet, clerk of the last house. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. A. Shank, a member from the county of Wilkes. He invoked the blessing of (Tod upon the members and their fam ilies at home aud asked His guidance iu the deliberations of the body at all times. The members were called to the bar of the bouse in batches of twelve aud sworn in by Associate Justice Lump kiD, of the supreme court. Twenty minutes were consumed in swearing in the members. The officers named in the caucus were then elected in order. Speaker Little delivered a short ad dress,in w hich he feelingly thanked the members for the honors conferred. He was deeply sensible, he said, of the honor and accepted it with a keen sense of the obligations it carried with it, and pledged himself to measure up fully to every duty as far as he was able to do so. A message was received from the senate through Secretary Nortben an nouncing the organization of that body. Dr. Robert H. Harris, of Thomas county, was selected as chaplain by the committee appointed for that pur pose. The house adjourned at 1:15 till 10 a. m. Thursday. Some surprise was created that the governor did not send in his annual message during the session. THE SENATE. The senate was organized and ready for business in less tliau an hour’s time. With the entire forty-four mem bers present at 10 o’clock, the hour of convening, IJon. Charles S. Northern, sectretary of the last senate, cailed the body to order and announced that the session would be opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Watkins, of Man chester. The roll w r as then called and Judge John S. Candler administered the oath of office to the senators. Having announced a full attendance Secretary Northen then declared the election of president of the senate in order and lion. Clark Howell, of Ful ton, received the unanimous vote of the senate. He expressed his thanks for the honor which had been con ferred upon him, stating thut be would be “more than human,” if he “de served the extreme laudation of the senators who had spoken of him in presenting his name to the senate; and “less than human” if he failed to “ap preciate to the fullest degree the meas ure of the compliment” of which he was the recipient in being called upon to preside over the senate. The president then declared the senate organized and ready for busi ness. The election of the other officers was then rapidly proceeded with, and resulted ps follows; Hon. Charles S. Northen, secretary; Hon. Roland Ellis, uresideut pro tempore; Flyn Hargett, messenger; Major R. E. Wilson, door keeper. The Rev. G. W. G. Watkins, the blind chaplain, who has filled that of tice in the senate for so many years, was re-elected. A resolution was then introduced authorizing the president to appoint the pages and gallery keepers. All of the officefs then being elected a resolution was passed to notify the house that the senate was organized and ready for business. Senators Allen and Hardaway were appointed as senate members of a joint committee to arrange the inaugural ceremonies of the governor. At 1 o’clock the senate adjourned, to meet Thursday morning at 10 o’clock. Selecting Seed Corn. The com crop is the most important one grown on the farm. Much depends upon the seed used. I select my seed In the full. I go into the field after the corn is hard and before there is a hard frost and select the best ears that are well tilled. Take off the busks, except enough to tie the ears togeth er, and hang two ears together on a wire in a dry place. When the corn Is thoroughly dried I put it In a room where there are no mice or rats and rick it the same as cord wood, then no amount of freezing will hurt it. I al ways smoko the corn just before plant ing. using corncobs, fine chips or old leather, and sometimes put a little pine tar on the fire. This Is to prevent squirrels and mice from digging the seed up after it is planted. Always shell off the tips and butts and use tlie rest of the ear; this is to make the gernels of uniform size. I never plant more corn than I have help to attend to and do it right—say forty acres to each team. I never plow’ in the fall except sod ground. Plant be tween May 10 and 22 as shallow as possible and see that all seed is cov ered. When the season is dry I plant deeper. I seed rather heavily, planting three or four kernels iu a hill. I al ways test the seed before planting.— D. A. Blalock, in New England Home stead. Preventing Hog Cholera- Rules for the prevention of the fall outbreak of cholera In herds of swin may be summarized as follows: 1. Cleanliness Is essential.

The Most Important Period in a Woman’s Existence. Mrs. John son Tells How She Was Helped Over the Trying Time. Owing to modern methods of living, not one woman in a thousand ap proaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying, and sometimes painful symptoms. Those dreadful hot flashes, sending the blood surging to the heart until it seems ready to burst, and the faint feeling that follows, sometimes with chills, as if the heart were going to stop for good, are only a few of the. symptoms of a dangerous nervous trouble. The nerves are crying out for assistance. The cry should be heeded in time. Lydia E. Pinkhain’s Vegetable Compound wars prepared to meet the needs of woman’s system at this trying period of her life. The three following letters are guaranteed to be genuine and true, and still further prove what a great medicine Lydia E. Plnkham’s Vegetable Compound is for women. Mar. 12, 1897. “ Dk.ar Mrs. Pixkiiam ; I have been sick for a long time. I was taken sick with flooding. All my trouble seemed to be in the womb. I ache all the time at the lower part of the womb. The doctor says the womb is covered with ulcers. I suffer with a pain on the left side of my back over the kidney. lam fifty years old and passing through the change of life. Please advise me what to do to get relief. Would like to hear from you as soon as possible.” Mrs. Charlotte Johnson, Monclova, Ohio. Jan. 23, 1898. “ I have been taking your remedies, and think they have helped ine a great deal. I had been in bed for ten weeks when I began taking your Vegetable Compound, but after using it for a short time I was able to be up around the house. The aching in the lower part of womb has left me. The most that troubles me now is the flowing. That is not so bad, but still there is a little every dav. lam not discouraged yet, and shall continue with your medicine, for I believe it will cure me.” — Mrs. Charlotte Johnson, Monclova,Ohio. April 13, 1900. “ I send you this letter to publish for the benefit of others. I was sick for about nine years so that I could not do my work. For three months I could not sit up long enough to have my bed made. I had five different doctors, and all said there was no help for me. My trouble was change of life. I suffered with ulceration of the womb, pain in sides, kidney and stomach trouble, back ache, headache, and dizziness. lam well and strong, and feel like a now person. My recovery is a perfect surprise to everybody that knew me. 1 owe all to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I would not do without your medicine for anything. There is no need of women suffering so much if they would take your remedies, for they are a sure cure.” Mrs. Charlotte Johnson, MondHova, Ohio. When one stops to think about the good Mrs. Johnson derived from Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine, it seems almost beyond belief; yet it is all true as stated in her three letters published above at her own request,. Asa matter of positive fact Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands of letters from women who have been safely carried through that danger period “Change of Life.” Mrs. Johnson's cure is not an unusual one for Mrs. Pink ham’s medicine to accomplish. 4b P REWARD. —We have daposited with the National City Bank of Lynn, II 1111 11 which will be paid to any person who can find that the alfc>ve testimonial letters jb *1 g 1B Z ll afre not genuine, or were published before obtaining the writer’s special ner- VW V IIU mission LYDIA E.
