Vol. X. No. 149.
for passing forged checks
Will Ellis, Colored, Was Arrest on
a Serious Charge
Officers Pile!pH and Gordon arrested
Will Ellis, colored, about midnight
Saturday for passing a forged check.
Ellis has been working for railway
companies for some time, and being
familiar with this paying system had
little trouble in disposing of his bogus
checks. They have been cashed in
other cities in Georgia, but the
authorities are of the opinion that
Ellis lias accomplices.
Ellis’s victim in Griffin is G. Cohen,
who cashed a bogus che-k for S4O,
and when the bank in Atlanta re
fused payment it was returned to Co
hen He then discovered 'hat the
check was a forgery and reported the
affair to the police.
Itwvas not long before the officers
located Ellis and his arrest followed
before midnight. He denies that he
forged the check, but claims it was
given him by negroes who asked him
to have it cashed.
Ellis is now in jail and evidence
agaiusthim is, according to the offi
cers, sufficiently strong to result in
his conviction.
Human Traits in Animals
A parrot in Xenia, V , fell from its
perch, (xclaiming, “I am dying!” ai d
immediately expired.
A pigeon committed suicide in Chi
cago because of despondency, as is
supposed. The deed was witnessed by
several Board o! Trade men, who saw
the bird wrap about its neck a piece of
twine, one end of which was fastened
to the building, and then, deliberately
strangle itself.
Mrs. James Dundore, wife of a
Pennsylvania farmer living near Leb
anon, is thought to be dying as the
result of an attack on her by one of
the family pets, a greyhound. While
she was caressing a little pet dog the
jealous hound sprang at her and lacer
ated her hand with its teeth The
combined pain of the wound and the
shock rendered her condition critical.
Dr. Weir, in discussing the tendency
of some insects to get drunk, says:
“An intoxicated bee was carried to my
laboratory for dissection and microscop
ic investigation. This insect was so
drunk that when placed upon its back
it had the greatest difficulty in getting
upon its legs, yet when a cosmos blos
som was brought within two inches of
its bead the bee thrust out its probes
cis and staggered toward it. It imme
diately began to suck the nectar, and
in a few moments tumbled over, a
drunken, senseless, almost inert little
mass—a victim of appetite.”
Recorder’s Court-
Judge Wm. H. Beck held his week
ly session of court yesterday and dis
posed of the following cases:
Will Bishop, colored, was convicted
of running a blind tiger and sentenced
to work thirty days on the chain gang
or pay a fine of SSO
Guarry Cunningham and D. T.
Hood were fined SSO each for selling
intoxicating liquors. The attorneys
for the defendants cerlioraried the
cases to the city court.
Homer Freeman, was fined $8 50
for acting in a disorderly manner and
Ernest Clayton paid $7 into the city
treasury for quarreling and fighting.
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 acts directly on the 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,

HIGH BRED STOCK PURCHASED.
| What Prof. Wing, of Experiment Sta
tion, Secured from Hood Farm
Prof. H. J. Wing, of the Georgia
Experiment Station, recently made a
visit to the famous Hood farm, at
Lowell, Mass., and purchased a Jersey
bull and two heifers and a Berkshire
boar and two sows
That the bull is a valuable animal
is shown by the fact that he is by
Mint a double grandson of Combine
tion 4389 and out of Brown Bessie
18th of Hood farm, a granddaughter
of the great Hood farm cow Brown
Bessie, winner of the 90 and 30 days
tests at the World’s Fair, 1893. The
sire of Brown Bsseie 18th is Brown
Bessie’s son 34550, the bull at the
head of the Hood farm herd, and her
dam is Costa Rica, test 21 lbs, 61 oz ,
perhaps the best cow in the Hood
farm herd, Costa Rica is the dam of
Merry Maiden, grand sweepstakes cow
at the World’s Fair, owned at Hood
farm. The bull secured by Prof. Wing
is thus close up to the two great
World’s Fair winners. One of the
heifers that go with this bull is by
Pedro Signal Landseer, a half brother
of Eurotisama, test, 27 lbs 11| oz in
7 days, 945 lbs 9 oz. in one year, and
a grandson of the SIO,OOO Pedro. The
dam of this heifer is Meseeldine, test,
16 lbs Joz , a daughter of Sophie’s
Tormentor, the sire of 14 in 14 lb.
list, including Sophie Hudson, 19 lbs
121 oz., Pbilena S, 18 lbs. 9.1 oz ,So
phona, 18 lbs. 5j oz , 639 lbs Joz in
9 months and 13| days.
The other heifer is by Lass May
Tormentor and from Toltec’s Romp,
test, 16 lbs. 9| oz and milked over 40
lbs. in a day. Toltec’s Romp is by
Toltec, the sire of 21 in the 14 lb list,
including Toltecs Fancy, 27 lbs, 5| cz
and a full brother of Conan’s Tormen
tor, the sire of 22 in the 14 lb list.
The dam of Toltec’s Romp is Romp
Ogden sth, test, 17 lbs. 9 oz. in 7 days,
630 lbs. in one year, by the great
Fancy’s Harry, sire of 38 in 14 lb. list
The Berkshire boar purchased by
Prof. Wing is by Wantage King of
Hood Farm and out of Duchess I, of
Hood Farm. Wantage King is an im
ported boar, having beeu bred by
William Puinock of Wantage, En
gland. His sire is the great King
Alfred, a phenomenal winner in En
glish show rings, and his dam is the
(amour sow, Wantage Poetess B, dam
of Lord Windsor, first prize yearling
at the Columbian, and one of the
greatest boars ever seen in this coun
try ; also Pinnock’s Pride, dam of the
unbeaten King Longfellow. Duchess I,
is a fine Longfellow sow, being by
King Longfellow and from Duchess
CXXIN , she by the $750 boar, Model
Duke, out of the great sow, Duchess
CXX The two sows that are to
match Ibis boar are by King Lee
VII., full brother of the great King
Lee, winner of sweepstakes as best boa.-
of any age, at the great St. Louis and
Illinois State Fairs, 1892, and winner
sweepstakes for best Berkshire boar
hred.by exhibitor, at the World’s Fair
Chicago, 1893. Their dam ie Wan
tage Poetess B V.,of Hood Farm.
The effect of these purchases upon
the breeding interests of the state can
hardly fail to be beneficial, as the ani
mals purchased will form the founda
tion of the two great herds from which
will doubtless go out young stock to
bring up the general standard of dairy
and pig stock. An increase in the
farmer’s products and profits must be
the ultimate result.

Letters to Congressmen.
C"tigressmen get curious letters,
says the New Y>ok Tribune.*’ I voted
for you jiul the Mime .is Jim Smith,
and he got four packages of seed, and
I only got three,” wrote a kicker, who
1 cut his complaint short with the de
claration that he would never vote for
that member again in a thousand
years. Another seed-strui k constit
uent asks for a package of “Mardi
Gras’ seed, of which he had heard
much, and which he believes grows in
New Orleans. Another request from
a mountaineer says : ‘My gil Sue is
going to be marrie I next mouth
Please send her a silver ring, and have
it marked, 'From Pi to Darling’”
Another constituent asks for two gal
lons of good whiskey, but this favorite
beverage is requested by many writers
of queer letters Os course, those who
have voted for the congressman al)
their lives and would like to borrow a
little money on the strength of it are
many, but all of these unreasooab'e
requests >re consigned to the waste
basket, and the wr-ter probab'y be
lieve that their representative is too
busy making speeches to answer them
and by next election forget all about
it.

Ten Beaus for Every Girl in Idaho
With the bachelors outnumbering
the maids in every state in the Union
it ought to be easy for the unmarried
woman to secure a partner anywhere,
but the region where bachelors are
most in excess is, of course, the most
favorable to the spinster, since the
abundance of unmarried men gives
her a wider range of choice. From a
matrimonial point of view Idaho is
the best state of the Union, for there
the number of the bachelors is to that
of the maids as 16 584 to 1426, each
unmarried woman in Idaho, therefore,
having ten or eleven bachelors, not
exactly at her beck, but available as a
husband From most points of view
the west is the Mecca of the young
unmarried woman, for not only are
there more unmarried men in the
western states, but a living is more
easily made in the west than in the
east, and therefore the western men
are more addicted to matrimony.—

Composition on Man.
Man that is born of woman is email
cabbages and a few in a hill. In in
fancy he is full of colic, paregoric and
catnip tea, and in old age he is full of
cues words and rheumatism. In his
youth his maternal ancestor taketh
him across he) knee, and extends to
him all the sympathy in her nature
with the heel end of a slipper, and
when he is a man grown he dodgeth
the tax collector and the sheriff the
of his life. Ho spreadeth like*
camphor tfee, and getteth a political
job, and his friends cling to him like
sandspura to your pants leg. He
swelieth with vanity, and cutteth
fre zsn water for a lime, but it is melted
as wax in a fire at tbe next convention
and casji ini
name ie Dennis. Out oi office bis
friends forget to cling like a vine
around a rotten stump and he soon
goetb busted which nmketh him lie
down in the cow where the red
bugs get in his hair and beneath l>i|
under clothing lie dieth out of the
world, and goetb to a place where it ie
too warm to wear clothes. Verily the
last end of that man ie worse than the
beginning, and the band playeth “Hot

SUNRISE DOTS.
Sunrise, Feb. 27.—We are having some
fine weather and the farmers are hustling
to get their crops in shape by planting
time.
Mrs. L. T. Wiler, of Orchard Hill, was
the guest of her daughter, Mrs. John Boyd,
Saturday night and Sunday.
Mrs. I). T. Hood, of Griffin, is spending
this week with Iter mother, Mrs. Emely
Boyd.
Jonah Boyd says he is afraid the jay
birds can’t find two grains of corn to the
ear this year if the w eather does not mod
erate Wore long.
J. 11. Oliver and Johnson Boyd went to
Griffin Monday on business.
Mrs. J. M. Robertson, of this place, is
visiting her sister, Mrs. Brown, of Barnes
ville.
Rev. and Mrs. E. B. Sanders, of Orchard
Hill, were the guests of Mr. and ’Nirs.
Jonah Boyd last week.
J. M. Dingier has a good many corn
stalks cut. He is a hustling farmer, any*
way.
Two of our farmers went to Griffin after
guano one day last week, and their coup
ling pole broke and spilled their guano on
Hill street.
B. P. Blanton says he makes such good
meal that the children all cry for corn
bread.
Johnson Boyd and Willie Oliver will
get their crops ready by planting time if
they don’t find too many rabbits.
F. F. Oliver has more plowing done
than anybody we know of. That’s right,
Frank ; that girl at the cross roads likes
a smart boy, I know.
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs isjrianuf i< t uted
by the California Fig Syrup Co
only, a knowledge, of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured bother par
ties. The high starring
d;
cal profession, and t
which the genuine SyrupoftHga has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts 0.. the kidneys, liver and
bowels wit 1 out irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must tie at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de
posit or strontr '’d-r.
When uicrc symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may rus
into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous
stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, th 6 great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
or ii diseases. Its reputation is world
wide and it is so easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention 'rhe Middle
