BAK2R AND BVBR RIBIGI.
The Third Georgia Loses Two Cap
tains and Perhaps Its Colonel.
The Atlanta Journal yesterday af
ternoon published the following story
about the Third Georgia regiment :
Captain Arnos Baker, of Atlanta,
and Captain A. J. Burr, of Griffin,
commanding officers in the Third
Georgia regiment, in N-n- i'as, Cuba,
have resigned
The resignation of Colonel Robert
Berner is rumored, but the report has
not been verified. The rumor is be
lieved generally among the friends of
the gallant Georgia officer.
The resignations of Captains Baker
and Burr are now enroute to Wash
ington, as they were sent from Neu
vitas several days ago.
There are other rumored resigna
tions and promotions that come from
the Georgia regiment.
Beyond the mere statement of the
fact, no details have been received in
Atlanta relative to the resignations of
Captains Baker and Burr. The infor
mation is on the highest authority,
and a confumaiion was received in
city yesterday afternoon
Just previous in leaving Savannah
for Cuba Captain Baker made the
statement that he did not wish to re
main in the service for any grea t
length of time unless there were ac
tual hostilities. He enlisted to fight,
he said to a friend, and unless there
wou'd be demand for active men iu
Cuba he saw no reason why be should
remain for the full time that the
Third Georgia is to be on the island.
A statement similar to this was
made by Captain Jgjon Burr, of Grif
fin, when he enlisted. Captain Burr
is one of the most prominent business
men of Griffin, and he has eeveral
interests there, which have doubtless
suffered on account of bis absence.
Both captains will probably reach
home within the next two weeks, or
as soon after their resignation are ac
cepted as possible.
Yellow Jaundice Cured.
Suffering humanity should be sup

relief. It is with pleasure we publish
the following : “This is to certify that
I was a terrible sufferer from Yellow
Jaundice for over eix months, and was
treated by some of the best physicians
in our city and all to no avail. Dr.
Bell, our druggist, recommended
Electric Bitters; and after taking two
bottles, I was entirely cured. I now
take pleasurer in recommending them
to any person suffering from this ter
rible malady. 1 am gratefully yours,

His Essence of Truth-
For many years the sage held to his
investigations, says the Chicago Re
cord. He sat at his desk in the li
brary with tomes (whatever in the
world they are) heaped ail about him.
He unrolled manuscripts and studied
them iu deep abstraction. He turned
the pages of many books. At inter
vals he would nod solemnly and make
a note on the sheet of paper lying in
front of him. At last the frail body
weakened from the strain of unremit
ting toil. The ancient scholar took
to bis bed.
“The end is near,” said the physi
cian, holding the thin, worn band in
bis so that be might lend the old stu
dent some of his own courage.
“I care not,” whispered the sage,
with a smile o' resignation. “My
work is finished I have proved it—
as I said. On my desk in tbe library.
You will find it there.”
When his spirit had departed the
lifelong fiiend who had been chosen
as executor went to the library.
There, upon the strewn desk, he
found the fruits of all the labor, the
essence of Truth which the scholar
bad extracted by years of reading and
research. There was tbe Finished
Work. It was as follows:
“If honey’ did not rhyme with
‘money’ and ‘Lou’ with ‘you’ there
never could have been any ‘coon’
songs.”
There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country- than all other diseases put to
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cure on the market. It is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It sets directly on tbe blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. end for circulars and tes
timonials. Address,

Bean tht, I"8 Kind You Have Always BwgP
Obiemd in New York-
A Cleveland doctor just retut cd
from New York brings h >me a v< ;y
good story about tbe nurses in one of
tbe big hospital* there, says the C'ev *
land Plain Deale.-. The qlber day the
gradin’ion class look it into the'F
heads to start out ai.d hive a cla-8
picture taken in their uniforms So
in due lime » ! l wax made ready and
they departed, e”n e twenty strong.
In fad, there Wire so very many of
them that when Huy climbed aboard
a car to go downtown there were seats
for only about half to be found.
That did not suit the young women
a bit. They fussed and gabbled to
gether for a minute and then suddenly
one had a bright idea. There were a
few knowing whispers, a giggle or
two, and then one pretty blonde leaned
far over and veked audib’y, * Ob,
Mary, how is that small pox case get
ting on that you took in this morn
ing? ’
“Pretty well,” answered Mary wise
ly, “only, of course, it came to us very
late. It’s in its worst stages. How is
that scarlet fever case that you are
tending?”
By this time the other passengers
were all agog, and one fussy old man
gave a gasp of horror and wildly sig
nalling the conductor, flopped out of
tbe car.
Tbe other passengers squirmed and
looked unhappy. Oa flowed the talk.
Diphtheria, typhoid (ever, measles,
small-pox, scarlet fever, aud chicken
pox circulated freely through the car,
news of various cases bsiog bandied
back and forth till girls shook and
strong men turned pale at the direful
stories.
One by one the passengers alighted.
At last it was not one by one—it wire
on a general and wholesale plan that
made the innocent conductor stare
and tbe naughty nurses giggle.
At last their mission was accom
plished—the car was all their own.
As each stray passenger wandered io,
he or she was industriously scared out
once more, and tbe nurses reigned
monarchs of all they surveyed during
the whole of that downtown trip.

Bean the The Kind You Have Always Bought
Oldest Man Living.
It is said that the oldest man now
living is a Viennese. Although, says
the New York Tribune, he asserts that
be is 113 years old, be is entirely
strong and healthy, and entertains bis
friends with old time hospitality. His
recollection of important events are
clear and most interesting. He can
remember the period of the French
revolution, though he was but a little
child He was a man of middle age
when Queen Victoria was crowned.
He says the secret of his preservation
of vitality and interest in life is that
he never worried, and never grieved
over the inevitable, and always en
joyed sound sleep.
Another extremely aged person is
a woman, a resident of Monterey,
California, who says she was born
in Scotland on Nov. 26, 1789 Many
people think she is even older
than this would make her. She is Mrs.
Maria Foster, and as tbe wife of a sea
captain she has visited nearly every
part of the known world She went
to California in 18-16, and has lived
there ever since. She tells a story of
a remarkable rain that deluged tbe
country about 1852, when for forty
days one continuous storm raged
Her husband died in 1870, and she
soon became an inmate of the poor
house. In her girlhood she was a
maid to titled women, of whose bes
havior, as a class, she has always ex-,
pressed great contempt.
