A Narrow Escape.
Thankful words written by Mrs
Ada E Hart, of Groton, S D “Was
taken with a bad cold which settled on
my lunge ; cough set in and finally
terminated in Consumption Four
Doctors gave me up, saying I could
live but a short time. I gave myself
up to my Savior, determined if I
cou'd not stay with my friends on
earth, I would meet my absent ones
above. My hueband was advised to
get Dr King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. I
gave it a trial, took in all eight bot
tles. It has cured me, and thank God
I am saved and now a well and heal
thy woman.” Trial bottles free at J

What They Don’t Say
The man who gets mad at what the
newspapers say about him, should res
turn thanks three times aday for what
the papers know about him and don’t
say.
Undoubtedly there are those who
have a genuine grievance against the
newspapers, but they are few. As a
rule when a man is heard declaiming
against the press his animus may be
ascribed to one of two causes: Either
he has asked a favor of some paper
and been refused, or he or s>me rela
tion or friend of his has been detected
ip some discreditable action and the
facts have been published.
If the press made a practice of
hunting up and printing scandal
about private persone, as these dis
gruntled persons allege, there would
be weeping and wailing and gnashing
of teeh in many families where all is
apparently serene. There is always
enough of that kind of thing afloat to
fill a column or two and the papers
are often blamed for not printing it,
the criticism usually coming from per
sons who have a private grudge to feel
in the exposure of one or more of the
parties to the scandal. Few newspa*
pers take any satisfaction in publishing
each matter, and the great majority
of them refrain from using it until it
has become a legitimate news item
and can no longer be ignored.
The stories that are suppressed in
the average newspaper office out of
consideration for the feeling of inno
cent persons who would ba grieved
and humiliated by the publication of
them, would fill a good-sized volume

T. B, .Rice, a prominent druggist of

*T have handled Dr. Pitts’ Carminative
for eight years, and have never known of
' -ingle instance where it failed to give
perfect satisfaction. Parties who once
use it always make permcnent customers.
We sell more of this article than all the
other Carminatives, soothing syrups and

dren it has no equal.

A South Side girl, who, according
to the Chicago Inter Ocean, has the
physique of Sarah. Bernhardt has been
following the direction of a beauty
oracle, and when she met. a friend in
the foyer of the Auditorium lust Mon
day she said :
‘ You see, I am wearing a street
costume after all my preparations (o'-
evening dress.”
The friend nodded.
‘‘Well, I massaged my neck twice a
day for three months, until my Tartar
bones quite disappeared. I felt sure I
should be an ornament to a box party ”
“Well, what happened?’ inquired
the friend.
“My neck is all light, but you ought
to see my arms.” The girl sighed.
“The massage < xercise developed my
muscles so that they stand out just as
if I were a prize fighter.”
The speaker wav-d her fan with a
vigor that proved her strength, and
then passed a sarcastic comment on a
thin girl who wore a decollettecorsage.

Lying is of all mean traits of char
acter the most despicable. This is the
crying sin of the age, that men do not
value their word. If a man steals and
is caught, the world brans him a thief
and shuns him ; he can never outlive
it; but if he lies, though it may be
proved, be is still respectable and if he
profit by the lie, he is esteemed espe*
cialiy clever and smart. But the thief
is not near so dangerous to society as
the liar. We can protect ourselves
against thieves, we can guard our pos
sessions, but the liar can penetrate
the strongest fortress and blast the
most precious of our possessions. He
can gr> into court and robot murder at

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 3, 1899.
FELLING BIG TREES.
The Method* by Which the Wood*-
num BriiißM Them Down.
The chopper approaches the tree with
a plumb line. If the top does not lean
more than two feet in the case of a
large tree or more than four in the
case of a small one, he considers that
ho can fell it in any direction he may
desire. He then views the ground and
selects the most promising “lay out, ”
and the undercut is made exactly fac
ing it. The “undercut” usually extends
about one-third through, and then the
tree is sawed in from the back to meet it.
When the two cuts are within six
inches of meeting, the saw is removed,
and the tree is wedged up until the top
passes the center of gravity, when it
falls by its own wejght, easily breaking
the strip of wood remaining.
Where the surface of the ground is
such that it is necessary for the butt
and the top to strike the ground simul
taneously, the stump is snubbed off at
the undercut, which provides a slant
ing surface, so that the butt has no
place to rest and perforce elides to the
ground.
If the tree needs to be rolled off to
one side, half the undercut is slanted,
and a pile of chips is placed on the flat
surface of the other half. The result
never fails to manifest the efficacy of
this device. Again, by leaving one side
of the uncut wood between the under
cut and the saw cut thicker than the
other, the tree may be drawn consider
ably away from its natural course.

Eickm nnd Germa.
It was formerly thought that an egg
must be safe eating whatever the sur
roundings, since its shell covered com
pletely the part eaten, but it has now
been shown unmistakably that germs of
disease can even find their way through
an eggshell. For instance, the typhus
bacillus and the cholera bacillus have
both been found to make their way
through an unbroken eggshell in about
16 hours and locate themselves in the
nutrient contents.
This is a clear indication, therefore,
that the greatest care should, be exer
cised in the storage and handling of
eggs, since they may thus be made ve
hicles for most deadly poisons. Doubt
less the immunity from such evils which
we enjoy in our use of eggs as food is
due to the fact that we generally cook
them in a high temperature before we
eat them and thus deal death to the
germs and safety to ourselves. Good
Words.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It docs 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
I over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
! urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
i satisfied feeling as if it must lie at once re-
■ peate l, or if the urine has a brick dust de
; posit or sir,>..7 r'
\\ ii 11 i..- .-y lupmuis 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 tub
into Bright's Disease, the most dangerous
' stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such 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.

wonderful merits, mention The Middle
