speak upon “Rome of the Errors

dress the people at that lime.
Another Merchant Cone.
Mr. A. Roobin left Saturday
night for New York, where he
goes to purchase his spring stock
of dry goods. He proposes to put.
in an extensive stock of goods,
and will no doubt offer his pres
ent stock cheap, in order t,o make
room. Mr. Mayer Rack, who has
been down here for some time for
his health, left with Mr. ltoobin.
We learn from private parties
that the trip has greatly benefited

dooly superior court.
Dooly superior couTt, after a two
weeks recess on account of small
pox, re-convened in Vienna last
Monday, with Judge Littlejohn
and Solicitor Hooper, Hoth on
hand. The grand jury had already
been oTgumzed, with Mr. J. 0.
Hamilton as foreman, and it took
but a short time to get down to
business.
There appears to be not as much
interest in court as usual, due to
the fact that not many cases of
very great, importance are to be
tried, and more largely due to the
fact that the people are decidedly
fewer in number than usually at
tend this court. The small pox
scale, no doubt, has kept many
away, while farmers, who are not
compelled to go to court, are
taking advantage of the fine
weather by working on their
farms Several candidates are m
attendance upon court, shaking
hands with t he people and pressing
their respective claims for the
ticular office he aspires to fill. The
candidates tor the legislature seem
tooutnumbar those tor any other
office, unleash is for ordinary.
The small pox scare has caused
some talk along the line of compul
sory vaccination all rver the
county, but Judge Hargrove says
that ninety per cent, of the people
would rebel, and practically make
compulsory vaccination impossi
e "
Several red flags'hang out in
Vienna, but the authorities arc
said to have the trouble under con
trol. Not much talk after Mon
day of small pox. Quite a num
ber of visiting attorneys from a
distance are attending oourt, be
sides those who reside in Dooly,
some of whom are, Judge John I.
Hall and Hon. Joe H. Hall, of
Macon; Solicitor F. A. Cooper,
Judge Alien Fort, Col. E. A. Haw
kins, Americus, Col. E. D. Gra
ham, of McRae, and Hon. Hewlett.
Hall, of Newnan.
Uranois Offers $25.00.
Mr. Jim Francis, manager of
the Acme Bottling Works, of this
city, offers $25.00 in gold to
either the white merchant or the
colored merchant of the city,
who sells the greatest number of
cases of bottle soda water, pur
chased of him during the seasau.
He gives a check or certificate
with each case, and the merchant
holding the greatest number of
these at the close of the season,
will surely get $25.00 in gold.
It is true that the very best
grade of soda water are made by
these people, and they already
enjoy an extensive trade. Our
soda water men should take ad
vantage of this offer, besides it is
right to patronize home industry.
Send in your orders and you will
be treated right. Prices—60 cents
straight. No cut prices.
PENIA POINTS PENCILED.

The concert Saturday night was
a signal Biiccess, 80 they say, and
taking everything into considera

came from all directions and all
enjoyed a hearty laugh. The
music rendered by the Arabi or
chestra excelled anything of the
kind that it has been our pleasure
to hear. There was not a man,
woman or child but what enjoyed
themselves for two hours. All
who took part in the concert de
serve much credit for the way in
which they rendered their
Out special attention should be
called to those in “Jumbo Jim.”
All reflected much-credit upon
themselves and Penia.
Miss Mattie Moseley returned
from Arabi last Friday, after
spending some time with rela
tives.
The little children of T. A.
Saunders are reported to he no

No small pox yet, but we are in
constant, dread of having our
beautiful countenances disfigured.

Month
there are thousands of wo
men who nearly suffer death
from irregular menses. Some
times the •• period ” comes too
often — sometimes not often
enough—sometimes the flow is
too scant, and again it is too
profuse. Each symptom shows
that Nature needs help, and
that there is trouble in the or
gans concerned. Be careful
when in any of the above con
ditions. Don’t take any and
every nostrum advertised to
cure female troubles.
