Tho Instructs
Not till we moot with Love in,u ..£sl
In all his solemn majesty nnd worth,
Can we translate the meaning of life's t3uty,
Which God oft writes in cipher at our birth;
Not till Love comes in all his strength and ter
ror
Can we read others' hearts, not till then
know
A wide compassion for all human error
Or sound the quivering depths of mortal
woe.
Not till we sail with him o’er stormy oceans
Have wo seen tempests. Hidden in his hand
Ho holds tho keys to all the great emotions.
Till he unlocks them none can understand.
Not till we walk with him on lofty mountains
Can we quite measure heights. And, oh, sad
truth,
When once we drink from his immortal foun
tains
Wo bid farewell to tho light heart of youth!
Thereafter our most perfect day will borrow'
A dimming shadow from some dreaded night.
Bo great grows joy it merges into sorrow',
And evermore pain tinctures our delight.
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Waiting For the liugle.
We wait for the bugle. The night dews are
cold ;
The limbs of the soldiers feel jaded and old;
The field of our bivouac is windy nnd bare;
There is lead !n our joints; there is frost in
our hair;
The future is veiled and its fortune unknown
As we lie with hushed breath till the bugle is
blown.
At the sound of the bugle each comrade shall
spring
Like an arrow released from the strain of the
string.
The courage, the impulse, of youth shall come
back
To banish the chill of the drear bivouac,
And sorrows and losses and cares fade away
When that life giving signal proclaims the new
day.
Though the bivouac of age may put ice in our
veins.
And no fiber of steel in our sinew remains;
Though the comrades of yesterday's march
are not here.
And the sunlight seems pale, and the branches
are sear;
Though the sound of our cheeriug dies down
to a moan,
Wo shall find our lost youth when the bugle is
blown.
—T. W. Higginpon in Atlantic Monthly.

An Old Idea*
Every day strengthens the belief of emi
nent physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty-jive years ago this theory was used
as a basis for the formula of Browns’ Iron
Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected
by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.
Browns’ Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers.
Skin Diseases.
For the speedy and permanent cure of
tetter, salt rheum and eczema, Cham
berlain’s Eye and Skin Ointment is
without an equal. It relieves the itch

its continued use effects a permanent

BRANTLEY SEES VICTORY.
Populists (Hutting Their Party on Ac
count 01 Radical Fusion.
Brunswick. Ga., Sept. 12—Con
gressman Brantley returned to-night
from a two days’ trip through the dis
trict. lie spoke at Jesup and Black
shear aad reports a most flattering re
ception.
“The Democrats are becoming
aroused,” said lie, “and I notice that
the populists are having their eyes
opened to the shameless trafficking of
their votes with the Republicans.
You can look for a sweeping Demo
cratic victory in both the October and
November elections. The voters will
not submit to the infamous trading
that has been going on. The Popu
lists are for the most part honest in
their political convictions, and they
consider it an insult to be asked to
cast principle aside and vote for a Re
publican, whose platform represents
everything that is opposed to the Pop
ulistic belief. Many of the Populists
are coming back to the Democratic
party and the November victory will
be complete.”

Democratic Nominee for Sheriff of
Coffee County.

A Fleshy
Consumptive
Did you ever see one ?
Did you ever hear of one ?
Most certainly not. Con
sumption is a disease that
invariably causes loss of
flesh.
If you are light in weight,
even if your cough is only
a slight one, you should
certainly take
Scott’s Entuslion
of cod liver oil <wilh hypo
phosphites. No remedy
is such a perfect prevent
ive to consumption. Just
the moment your throat
begins to weaken and you
find you are losing flesh,
you should begin to take it.
And no other remedy
has cured so many cases
of consumption. Unless
you are far advanced with
this disease, Scott’s Emul
,sion will hold every in
ducement to you for a
perfect cure.

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
A Good, Strong Ticket That Will Not
be Taken Down.
REV. JOHN VICKERS.
Mr. .Vickers was the unanimous
choice of the democrats, and a largo
number of populists will vote for him,
thus making his election sure.
He is a good man and a Christian.
And you will never see him pouring
mean whiskey down a man to got bis
vote.
Mr. Vickers is a member of one of
the largest families in the county, and
is a man of ripe experience, which
makes him a good man for the place.
J. A. DAUGHTREY.
Tuis gentleman was brought out by
the people for Sheriff, He is well
known in the county, and will make,
a vigilant and thoroughly competent
officer.
Mr. Daughtrey served the county as
jailor once, and it can be said to his
credit that not a single prhoner escap
ed during his term of office.
MELVIN TANNER.
This young man is peculiarly fitted
for the duties of the Clerk’s office. He
is competent, perfectly reliable, sober
and industrious. He is one of the
foremost school teachers of the county
and will perform the duties of the
office to the entire satisfaction of the
people.
ALLEN CARVER.
This gentleman is our nominee for
Tax Collector. He is veiy generally
known throughout the county. There
is not a better man in the country;
he is competent, faithful and deserv
ing, and the people will make no mis
take in electing him to the office of
Tax Collector.
HENRY C. GIRTMAN.
One of the best things the nominat
ing convention did was to put Henry
Girtman on the ticket. He is the
nominee for Tax Receiver, and it is
safe to say he will be elected by a big
majority. He is from- the good old
precinct of PicKren, and is now one ol
the most active members of the Board
of Education.
JAMES GILLIS.
He is the nominee for Surveyor.
Ho is a good old farmer and has had
experience in the office of Surveyor,
having served Coffee and Ware in this
capacity several years ago.

Brunswick, Ga , Sept. 10—In a
speech to the Democrats of Coffee
county, made on Monday last at Doug
las Hon. Robert G, Dickerson, the
Democratic candidate for state sena
tor from that district, made, among
some other statements, the direct
ch trge that, in a private letter, Re
publican candidate for Congress, Wil
kinson, had staled that lie “would
prefer to see negroes in office than to
see HL-er men gain a victory in that
e!e< t'< n ” The making of this charge
came in the nature of a bombdieff to
the Populists of Coffee when it l>< came
known amongst them. After the
speaking was over the Morning News
correspondent interviewed Mr, Dicker
son at his hotel, and iic reiterated the
charge, in substance, and said the let

doubting it. .

The town of Sycamore, twenty
miles north of Tiftou, m Irwin county
has just closed an interesting prohibi
tion fight. Irwin is a local option
county, but whisky is sold in Ocillu
and Fitzgerald, so parties put up a
barroom iu Sycamore The Town
Council was opposed t. its sale, and
promptly prosecuted its proprietors,
affixing a heavy line. They appealed
to the Supreme Court, which sustain
ed the City Council Saturday. The
liquor men were determined, so put
out a wet ticket for the municipal
election, which occurred, and a hot,
stubborn light was made. The wet
ticket met a signal defeat, however,
the prohibition ticket winning by a
majority of 20 votes.
A sensational arrest, lias been made
by llie Tiftou police. Charles Selph,
an overseer 011 Jesse Paulk’s place,
seveu miles north of Tilton, in Irwin
county, came to Tiftou last weeic and
employed a wagon load of negroes to
pick cotton foi him. The negroes re
turned Sunday and told a harrowing
tale of intimidation, ’lhey said that
when they became dissatisfied and
wanted to leave, Selph presented his
Winchester rifle at them and compelb
cd them to go bacK to wont. Also
when they had finished his cotton, lie
coni [idled them to pick that of his
neighbors, guarding them while at
wont his rifle and guarding them at
night. When one became trouble
some, he carried him to an old well
and compelling him to look in. punch
ed the negro with his rifle and told
him he would put in there if he didn’t

BABY’S SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
“At the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
chisel Y?e used all the externnl ap
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. • The sores spread all over ono
side of his ffece. We consulted a physi
cian nnd tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore wan gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby’s arm. It
grew worse and worse, and when, he was
three months old, I began giving him
HooV.’s Sarsaparilla. I Also took Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned, lie is now fouryearsold,
but ho has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, for which I feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
