Mr. Jim Medlin, of Athens, and brother

duty.
We are glad to state that lienry Patman
has so for recovered from his attack of
erysipelas as to be able to attend commence
ment.
It was Mrs. Story, of Greencsboro’, who
accompaned Dr. Daniel, instead of his wife,
as we stated last week.
Mrs. Dr. Watson is very sick.
We regret that Tom Cumming is not able
to enjoy this week’s fun. lie has been sick
for over a week.
Bill Goss (our Harmony Grove corrcspon- j
dent) and lady were in the city last Wednes
day. We arc pleased to see him restored to
good health again.
Miss Sallie Worsham, of Maysville, is
spending the week with Mrs. Elizabeth

We trust that all of our visitors have had
a pleasant time this week. We know that
some of the boys have, for one remarked to
us that he was having a killing time, and we
thought so too.
Judge Colquitt was over to scons this
week and to vote for the stock law. lie is
the original “no fence” man in Jackson
county.
Julius Williamson is down representing
his side of the county.
The Rev. Mr. Foster and Miss Paxton, of
Walton county, have been attending our com
mencement.
We will Continue the Old Plan.
IT IS A GOOD LAW, BUT WE DON'T WANT
IT YET.
Last Monday the citizens of this county
had an opportunity of voting upon the stock
law for the first time, but not the last, we
hope.
As we expected, the fence men carried the
election—outnumbering the no fence voters
nearly three to one. The vote was larger than
we expected, and not a single District in the
county voted a majority for it—the nearest
one being Cunningham’s, where the majority
for fence was only two.
While the result may be discouraging to
some, we are disposed to take much consola
tion from it when we consider the vast revolu
tion that has already taken place in the minds
of onr citizens. Ten years ago we doubt if
five men could be found in each Mahlia
District who would have voted against fence,
now the no fence doctrine has numerous
advocates, who will talk the matter up and
by the time the next vote is called for you
will find three in favor of it to where 3’ou will
find one now. So we would say to those who
voted for “ no fence,” continue in your faith,
for your cause is gaining ground rapidly, and
you will soon be able to win your side of the
question. We append the vote of the various
Districts, so that \’ou can see for yourself
how the matter stands :

Martin Institute.
This is commencement week in our village,
and our citizens have had a lively time of it.
The closing exercises of our popular Institute
commenced last Sunday. In place of the
customary sermon, Prof. Glenn delivered an
address on “ Schools in Heaven,” at the
Methodist church. lie did not enter into any
wild speculations upon tire subject, but took
a plain common sense view of the subject.
Wc have not the space to devote to a complete
analysis of the subject as discussed, but can
say that it was exceedingly entertaining, and
evinced much thought and preparation. On
Monday and Tuesday the different classes of
the Institute were examined. On Tuesday
night there was an exhibition of the little
folks, who entertained the audience with
appropriate readings and speeches. On
Wednesday the following programme was
carried out in a manner that was highly

Literary Address, by Hon. Logan E.
Bleckley.
On Wednesday evening the orator, Mr. F.
A. Glenn, delivered the annual address of the
Martin Literary Society before that body and
an appreciative audience.
The address of the lion. Logan E. Bleekly
was just what those who had heard him, or
had heard of his reputation, expected it to
be. We would go into details upon the sub
ject., but the writing of complimentary criti
cisms is the hardest task we ever tried to
perform ; besides, wc shall try to get the
speech, and publish the whole of it.
On last night the students had a re union
at the school house, which closed the week’s
exercises.
Miss McCarty’s Concert.
Last Friday night the clouds bore a
threatening and unfavourable look, which,
coupled with the heavy rain that evening,
caused a good many people in the community
to remain away from the concert that night.
Enough assembled to comfortably fill the
Baptist church and enjoy the evening’s enter
tainment. The programme contained some
fine selections in vocal and instrumental
music, which were executed by the various
performers in a manner that was alike credit
able to teacher and pupils. The recitations
were anew Feature, that took at once witli the
audience, and deservedly so, for the pieces
were standard, and their rendition would
have reflected credit upon schools where
elocution is made a study. Miss Rhodes’
conception of the Polish boy was indeed a
revelation, and stamps her as an elocutionist
of no ordinary. And when the chorus of the
last song, “Far away where Angels Dwell,”
died away, we felt as if we had been awakened
from a beautiful spell in which the fair singers
had assumed angelic forms and were gradually
floating away into cloudland. Below wegive
the programme:
lam Coming, Darling Coming. Miss Jos
sie Bush.
Sweet Genevieve. Miss Abbic Johnson.
Kiss me, Mother, Kiss your Darling. Miss
Fannie Turner.
The New Church Organ (recitation.) Miss
Georgia Johnson.
Jennie, the Flower of Kildare. Master

Dr. J. A. SHERMAN—Dear Sir: I am hap
py to inform you that 1 am entirely cured of my
large scrotal rupture. It is one year ago to-day
that 1 received your treatment. J have tested the
cure by going without the appliance. My busi
ness is tiiat of a locomotive engineer. My rup
ture. as you will recall to your mind, was similar
to Mr. .Jordan’s, in your pamphlet of illustrations.
1 was ruptured in the year 150,5, while in the
army. I have tried spring and elastic trusses
with great discomfort and injury, my rupture al
ways growing worse. Finding 1 must get some
relief or give up my business, I determined to try
you as a last resort, and I must say that 1 found
your treatment a complete success. My improve
ment and cure have, considering my terrible con
dition, surprised my friends as well as myself.
During your treatment 1 have worked hard in my
business, enjoying both safety and comfort, and
have not lost a day’s work. My general health
has also improved. I will take pleasure in re
commending the afflicted to you whenever I have
an opportunity.
You may publish this letter for the benefit of
humanity.* xMy address is2ll East llth-st. With
best wishes I remain yours respectfully,

Since the reduction of Dr. Sherman's terms,
t-hou.sands arc crowding upon him for treatment, 1 ■
gladly throwing away their griping, irksome, -
dispiriting, and life-punishing trusses. ll i.s treat
ment for this affliction makes the patient comfort
able and safe in the performance of every kind of
exercise or labor. It is a grand thing, and those
who are ruptured and do not provide themselves
with it must endure the dangers of that precarious
affliction and the use of trusses all through life.
Thousands of those cured give the most flattering
testimonials of gratitude to Dir. Siikkman. Ho
is the author and inventor of his popular system ;
he imparts his secret to no one; it is applicable
to all classes and cases, and, under his reduced
rate, within the reach of almost everyone.
Patients can receive treatment and leave for
hme same day. I)r. SHERMAN’S Book oir
