THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER. FRIDAY. MAY 24, v907,
Of Interest To Women.
To sncb women as are not seriously oat
of health, but who have exacting duties
to perform, either In tho way of house
hold cares or In social duties and func

as well as to nursing mothers, I)r. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has proved a most
valuable supporting tonic and Invigorat

serious sickness anil suffering may be
avoided. The operating tablo and tho
surgeons’ knife, would, It Is believed,
seldom have to be employed if this most
valuable woman's remedy wero resorted

mothers by preparing tho system for the
coming of baby, thereby rendering child
birth safe, easy, and almost painless.
Bear In mind, please that Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription Is not a secret or
patent medicine, against which the most
intelligent people are quite naturally
averse, because of the uncertainty as to
their composition and harmless character,
but Is a MKDicixE or knows composi-

Upon Monroe’s accession to the
Presidency he continued Crawford as
Secretary of the Treasury, among his
colleagues in tho cabinet being J. Q,
Adams and John C. Calhoun. A polit

was regarded as the logical and des

Some time ago Judge Ferguson came

pistolorle pleasantry he was given

Judge Ferguson will take half price

tlngiilshed men of his day, believed in
the code duello, and he had two
"affairs,” killing his opponent in one,
and being wounded in tho other. In
1807 he was elected to All a vacancy in
tho United .States Senate, anil was re*
elec-tod In 1811, In 1812, when Vice-
President Clinton was unable on ac
count of of sickness to act as Presi
dent of the Senate, Mr. Crawford was
chosen President protein
In 1813 President Madison offered
him a position in his cabinet as Secro
tary of War, which ho declined, but «
little later accepted the appointment to
France as minister. While at Paris
a warm friendship sprung up between
him and Lafayette, who appointed him
agent for his lands in America.
In 1815 he asked to be recalled, and
while on route homo ho was appointed
Secretary of War, tho Senate having
refused to confirm the appointment of
Gen. Dearborn to this position. He

manded an immediate investigation by
Congress, and a committee was ap
pointed for this purpose, among the
members being Daniel Webster and
John Randolph.
"The committee made a unanimous
report declaring the falsity of the
cliurges," He was completely exoner
ated. In tho Presidential election
Crawford received fortv-one electoral
votes, ten more than Henry Clay re
ceived. J. Q. Adams was elected
President. Just about this time Mr.
Crawford was stricken with paralysis.
Ho had a long sickness. He returned
to Georgia from Washington, and In
his latter years was a circuit j xdge.
