THE &MERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-BECORDER: FRIDAY, JANUARY 21, 1893.
EBICUS TO BEND DELEGATES
if
Convention of Badnui Hen in
Atlanta Deb. 11th.
America* trill be represented in the
n vention of bnelncss men of the state
i held in Atlanta on Feb. ltth, (or
the purpose of foateriog minor indns
trie* and discussing the question of
tax reduction. The meeting ia a moat
important one, and every city in Geor
gia will be represented by a delegation
«f bnaineas men.
Mayor Hixon has not yet appointed
delegates to represent Americas, but
this will be done in ample time to in
sure a good representation for tbc gate
city of southwest Georgia.
In this connection a rather amusing
incident occurred yesterday. Mayor
Hixon received official notice from the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, re
questing the appointment of delegates
from this city. By the same mail
President G. W. Glover, of tho Amer
icas Board of Trade, received a simi
lar notice, and was likewise requested
to see to it that Amerions was repre-
. seated in the convention.
Mayor Hixon immediately appointed
President Glover a delegate, with an
thority to select two others, while that
gentleman in the meantime had con
ferred a similar honor upon Mayor
Hixon, neither knowing that the other
had been invested with authority to
Sot.
But Americas will send up a delega
tion, and every effort will be mado to
secure the legislation desired. To re
more the exisiting tax on newly estab
lished industries means much for
Georgia, and will secure the location
of many enterprises which, in a few
years, wonld prove a source of vast
wealth for; the Empire State of the
Sonth.

Snspeoted Firebug to Await Aetion of
Grand Jury.
A warrant, charging Wilkes Hamlin
with anon was iaaned'liy Judge May
nard, of the eonnty court, yesterday,
and Hamlin, who ia now in jail, will be
held to await the aetion of the grand
jnry which convenes again on the Slat
inst. As stated in yesterday’s Tiuxs-
Bbcobdkb, Hamlin is believed to be
the inoendiary who bnrned the barn
and stockade on the Walker plantation
on Wednesday morning, and parties
here yeelerday from the soenc of the
fire say that some strong evidence
against the negro will be presented.
Hamlin waa raised np on the planta
tion, and only revenge for some fan
cied wrong, it is thought, prompted
him to apply the torch to his employ

BLOOD POISON CUBED.
There ia no doubt, according to the
many remarkable oases performed by
Botsnio Blood Balm (“B. B. B”) that
it is far tbe beattonio and blood purifi

it. It cures pimples, ulcers, akin dis

A BAD CASE CUBED.
Three years ago I contracted a blood
poison. I applied to a physician at
onee, and hit treatment came near
killing me. I employed an old physi
cian and then went toKentuoky. I
then went to Hot Springs and remained
two months. Nothing seemed to cure
me permanently, although temporary
relief waa given me. I returned home
a ruined man phyaieally^with but lit
tle prospect of ever getting well. I
was persuaded to try Botanic Blood
Balm (B. B. B.) and to my utter as
tonishment it qniokly healed every

^^KWho (Has Accepted.
Bev. W. H. Wottcn, recently of
Jaucsville, Wisconsin, has accepted a
call to tho rectorship of Calvary Epis
copal church of this city, and will im
mediately enter upon his labors here.
This announcement will be gratifying
alike to members of that congregation
and the general public.
The call was extended by the vestry
men of the chnrch at a meeting on
Thnrsdny night, and yesterday was
accepted by Mr. Wotten.
The new rector conducted services at
Calvary on Sunday last, and so favor
able was tbe impression made that the
chnrch immediately determined to
call him as rector, whioh place has
been vacant since the departure of
Bev. W. W. Walker some time since.
Mr. Wotten will bring bio family
here at once, occupying the pretty
rectory on Lee atreet, and regular
services may be expected at Calvary
hereafter.
Bnt the Damsel’s Father Beats Him
By a Neck.
It was a lively race fora pretty bride
that was made to the office of Jndge A.
C. Speer, of the oourt of ordinary, yet
terday morning, bnt paterfamilias won
by a neck, and a pretty girl and ardent
lover are now widely separated and
their plana frustrated by “popper's”
cunning.
Love lsnghedat locksmiths, bnt the
old man fairly grinned as be thought
of the proverb “he laagbs best who
laughs Isst.”
It was at an early hour that a gentle
man, the father of one of the prettiest
girls in this region, entered Jndge
Speer’s office and i«M him of a contem
plated runaway in which his daughter
was to play a star part. She waa not
of age, ami therefore the father forbade
Judge Speer issuing a marriage license
The old gentleman had scarcely left
the building ere the groom-prospective
showed up and demanded the license.
It was a heart stab, bnt Judge Speer
told him of the orders given by the
girl's father. Borneo was dazed for a
moment, never dreaming that the pro-
poaed elopement had been discovered.
Now ho mnst resort to stratagem.'
The ardent swain left tho office. His
scheme would work, dead sure.
A half hour later a third party called
and demanded a marriage license for
a “colored couple" but w hen Jndge
Speer asked for the names his surprise
can be imagined when those of the
yonthfnl lovers, whose marriage had
been forbidden, were given him. He
merely winked his off eye and put
away the ready pen.
The young swain is disconsolate over
the unexpected turn of affairs, while
“popper" doubtless wouders what he

■pent yesterday iu the city, meeting
hia old friends and making new ones.
Senator Stevens has announced for
commissioner of agriculture, and he is
going to get there. Senator Steven*

his record. Tut Timks-Recouder will
give its hearty support to Hon. O. B.
Stevens for commissioner because it

CAN’T GET REST.
Sleeplessness Common
Among the Aged.
THIN, PALE7 INACTIVE BLOOD
THE CAUSE.
Restful Sleep from Better
Bluod Supply.
Paine's Celery Compound
Fills the Arteries.
Red
Multiplies Number of
Corpuscles.
There sre degrees of sleeplessness
from the wide-awake state to the sleep
which docs not refresh and has in it
only the mockery of rest.
Such sleep ia not tired nature's sweet
restorer. Dreams have ;>ower to torture
and to depress. Sleep, therefore,
not always rest, bnt t'onble, and
troubled sleep brings to the brain
worker loss of power for thought and
labor.
It is a well known fact that for auy
part to perform actively its duties, it
mnst have an abundance of blood; bnt
wheu tho power of loenlly regulating
tbe sapply of blood in the brain is im-
paired because of insufficient nerve
power the tired bruin grinds the same
old grist over and over till nervous
prostration, paralysis or hysteria
ensues.
The cause of sleeplessness is so clear
that the cure is equally apparent. The
nerves must recover their grip. The
health-wrecking laxity of the blood
vessels must be corrected. The an
swer to how this is to be done is:
Feed the exhausted nerve tissues
with I’aine's celery compound.
By thus acting on the nerves Paine’s
celery compound is abln to regulate the
blood supply and iiermanently banish
sleeplessness that shortens so many
lives, especially among those beyond
middle age. In addition to this indi
rect control over the cireniation,Paine’s
celery compound direetiy increases the
amount of blood in the arteries and
aronses the pnrifying organs to drive
ont impurities that often lark in it un
developed for years till age or a “run
down” condition allow them to get the
npper band.
A pale, languid woman ia not more
of a lady than a rosy, robust one.
Women leading lives of imperfect
health, with pains and aehoa running
riot through their “run down” bodies,
are often ignorant of the feet that it is

matism or stomach trouble that they
need, bnt fundamental building np of
