Funeral of Rev. Jno. Vickers-
The funeral of Rev. Jno. Vick
ers, so well known in this coun
try, will be preached on the ri'
Monday in Vovember. < Hir in
formant does not tell us where or
by whom.
The Home Life in China.
Laura B. Starr, who for several
years resided in China, and who
had great facilities for understand
ing the feminine side of Chinese
life, contributes to the October De
lineator an article that throws
much light on the home life of Chi
nese women. This article is illus
trated with several uathentic pho
tographs of various social positions.
The October number of The Delin
eator, in addition to Miss Starr’s
article and the eighty or more
sketches of the present-day styles,
which are prominent features ol
the magazine, contains twenty oth
er valuable contributions. For
thirty years it has been trusted by
American women for guidance in
home dressmaking and home man
agement.
An Erroneous Idea.
Some people imagine that a news
paper is run for a piece of conven
ience on the gratis line, anti is very
largely, hut even at this, in con
nection with other affairs, some
tine specimens of “cheek” or “brass
on the face” is developed. Dur
ing the past week a tanner left
home with one of his largest sugar
canes, hound for this office, when
•in enterprising sewing machine
agent met him and traded for the
cane, after being told it was on its
to the Bice/.e, promising the farm
er to call ai the office and tell tin
editor about it so as to get a notice
in the paper. lie did so, hut left
no quarter to pay for the local,
consequently tho country does not
know who the farmer was—the
machine agent chewed the cane
and lie can advertise it. A news
paper man is a fool who will cry
aloud the enormous products of any
man, just for the satisfaction of
having spoken his praise and being
allowed to pick up the peelings off
the ground, while another man
squints tiis eye and swallows the
juice.
Bourke Cochran's Reasons.
liourke Cochran gives the fol
lowing reasons for supporting Mr.
Bryan :
1 Because it is the only way to
make opposition to imperialism ef
fective.
2 Because voting for a third tick
et would be equivalent to absten
tion from the polls.
3 Because imperialism is the dom
inant issue.
4 Because the election will set
tle the question irrevocably.
5 Because Bryan’s election will
“put a quietus on the imperialastic
adventure.”
6 Because no presidential elec
tion ever decided more than one
question.
7 Because Bryan is honest.
8 Because congress is so consti
tuted that, with Bryan as president
there can he no silver legislation
during his term of office.
o Because Bryan has robbed the
attack on the republic of its dis
guise and forced a fight in the open.
10 Because capacity to deal with
the issues of it)o2 and 1904 can
best be evidenced by meeting in
telligently the issues of 1900. —St.
Louis Republic.

An Opinion of Hanna.
Please he seated while we un
reel this opinion of that able pa
triot, Hanna, by the editor ofWin
dle’s Gatling Gun, published sim
ultaneously in Chicago and Ottawa,
111. Here we go: “Hanna is the
most daring, dastardly, devilish
hypocrite in American politics.
Think of a bribe-taking and a
bribe-giving monster like this blast
ed. bloated, bumptious, bilious,
bullheaded boss claiming the pro
>c'!c] and guidance of Divine
Providence! In his speech at the
notification of McKinley he had
the superlative nerve to claim an
alliance with God.”
All kinds of fruits and Vege
tables at Gaskin & Davis.
Col. Allen, of the Moultrie Ob
server, has the audacity to call the
editors of this paper “bloated bond
holders.” We may meet him some
day.
Brag and Bluster are not such
good dogs after all it the goed old
lady did think one of them would
bite Gen. Bragg’s army. He slump
ed when he heard clashing steel.
Retribution is a dangerous tool
to fool with, and an agitator should
he sure his character will stand the
fight before he attempts it. Stones,
etc.
Gaskin & Davis has the nicest
line of groceries in the city and they
sell them cheap too.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured.
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
norma condition, hearing will be des
troyed forever, nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is noth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any ease of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that can not be cured by Hall’s
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,
free. F. J. Chunky & Cos., Toledo, O.

Hall's Fatuil v Pills are the best.

Not a Word of Truth.
People who cannot understand
plain English should not attempt
to read and report or explain to
others. Some one read the Breeze
last week and told Mr. Hamilton
Sears that our Pearson correspon
dent said lie was using the whiskey
jug in his campaign. Here’s what
’she (our correspondent) said about
Mr. Hamilton Sears :
“Mr. Hamilton Scat s passed through
this section last week seeing the people
and informing them of his candidacy
for treasurer, in his good natured - ay.
He left many "Hamiltonians” behind
him.”
Is there any jug in that? Where
does our correspondent connect Mr.
Hamilton Sears name with whisky ?
If Mr. Sears’ informant had been
called on for proof of his accusation
in the court house the above evi
dence would have convicted him
of a libel, and entitled this paper
to damages. Now here is what the
correspondent said about the jug:
“We like to see politics handled by
citizens, but we are sorry that so many
grasp that handle that sticks to the
side of a jug to run politics.”
No connection at ail between the
two items. They are printed here
just as they appeared in the Breeze
of Sept. 15, with another item
(foreign to both) between them.
Nor does the correspondent charge
any other candidate personally or
by implication with using the jug.
The words she used were “by citi
zens.” If a candidate had been
meant she would have said so. She
knows how to use english, she is a
lady, in every respect, if there is
one in this country, and would not
soil her fingers bv a dirty act, or
stoop low enough to stab an old
friend in the back.
We hope Mr. Sears will hunt up
his Breeze of the 15th, and read for
himself, as we believe his infor
mant as to the Aivt' was
.1 joke on him,™ 01

Election Tickets.
The time for having election
tickets printed is growing short
only about nine days until the elec
tion comes off. Several thousand
have been printed, hut there are
many yet who have not had any
printed. Do these intend to run
on other people’s tickets? If they
do, their trouble in the race will not
be repaid-the man who depends on
others is sure to be left. In the
condition that politics has assumed
in this county the field seems
open to all, many being displeased
with the nominations and have ex
pressed themselves as determined
to vote for whom they please.
Every man who expects to be in
the race will need not less than
2000 tickets. We can print tickets
for all in time to have them put in
the hands of friends all over the
county if the order is brought in at
once. Our terms to ALL is cash
with copy and order. Some says
“will pay when tickets are print
ed,” but the tickets will be printed
and the one who gave the order
may have decided not to make the
race. So, the money must come
before the tickets are printed and
if we make a mistake in carrying
out order we will print them over.
Every order taken is written down
and read over to candidate before
the copy is placed on hook. We
don’t wan’t any security, that is
other people saying they will see
the money paid if we will print the
tickets. We have several such on
our old hooks already from last elec
tion in Ware county. If you can’t
raise the money we can’t help you
by printing for nothing.
So, enough has been said, you
understand us, money with order
and our guarantee to give them to
you neatly printed as soon after
ward as possible. Being late on
your part will make you late in
getting them.

To Serve Another Term.
Last Sunday morning Deputy
Sheriff Slade, of Terrell county,
boarded the down train at Nichols,
with Ed Davis, colored in charge,
who was serving a term at Hinson
& Co’s convict camp. He was car
rying Davis back to be resentenced
for another crime for another term,
which it is thought would transfer
him to the Callahan convict camp,
near Bainbridge. Mr. Slade is a
clever traveling companion and his
prisoner was cheerful bidding good
bye to acquaintances along at the
Stations and telling them be was
going “back to get some more.”
Another Big Saw Mill for Coffee
County.
The Wadley Lumber Cos publishes

cerned.
Married Monday Nieht.
Mr. Jefferson Lott and Miss
Missouri Bailey were married at
the residence of Mr. Willie Lott,
near this place, last Monday night.
Rev. Mr. Finley officiating. The]
young people have our best wishes.
The tin-pan brigade was out in full
force and uniform.
Isom Williams New Home and Baby.
Isom Williams, our clever, faith
ful livery-stable man has been step
ping around some time like a blind
horse on hilly ground and it was
all on account of anew baby at his
house, which came some time ago,
but we wouldn’t say anything
about it thinking he’d get over it
sometime, hut he wouldn’t. So
now, he has the new baby and has
gone to work to build anew home.
