All the republican papers of the
north and west atlirm that Bryan’s
letter of acceptance was a weak
failure. Well, just wait until llan
na, McKinley .V Cos., get tip one
and then see a failure sure enough.
An Alabama exchange applies
such names as “scoundrel, hypo
crite, etc.,” to McKinley. This is
all wrong! because you differ in
politics with a man does not make
him either. lie might say the same
of you with as much truth.
The editor of the Rockv Moun
tain Bugle, of Kentucky, says:
“We are republican .heart, brain
and soul, rocked in a republican
cradle, cut republican bread and
meat, hut we’li vote for Bryan if
we live until November." Well
now, buddie, you are talking with
sen-c, and well listen at you.
Next —oie. at a time please, we
can't get your names down rignt

lead an army of colored people to
New' Orleans to whip the whites
because they refused t. be run over
by the negroes of the latter place,
has been invited to come on and
bring an army of ten thousand

made that they would be given

Nicholls, Ga., Aug. 13 : —A man
by the name of Pickren, given
name not known by the writer,
died in Nicholls Saturday morning.
He was suffering of asthma, and
his physician gave an over-dose of
morphine and failed to arouse him.
His remains were sent to Mcßae,
where his wife and relatives reside.
Mr. Geo. Tanner, son of Bunk
Tanner, is very ill, and is not ex
pected to live. He is suffering
from risings in the throat, which
have been troubling him now and
then, ever since he had Typhoid
fever about one year ago.
Mrs. Redding ,Meeks is still on
our sick list, and continues to grow
worse. She has been suffering for
several months of indigestion. We
sincerely hope to see our sick im
proving soon.
Miss Mamie Infinger, of Douglas,
has been visiting relatives near
Nicholls. Hope she enjoyed the
week.
Considerable shooting was done
in Nicholls last Friday night. The
i shooting was probably for dislodg
ing some negroes which had been
placed in a house near Dr. Parker’s
residence, but r.ot thought inten
t ionly.

get on a boom if Roan Meeks puts

of Emanuel county locates his saw
mill there.

Needed Them on the Gang.
The convicts are at work cutting
out anew road near town, and as
there are only a few of them the
work is getting along not as fast

they heard that the prisoners in

a blamed shame fer dem fellers to
git away, ’cause dev was needed

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and pre
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Ca
tarrh Cure, mauufacturad by F. J.
Cheney it Cos., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and tnneous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred
’ollars for any case it fails to cure.
