A case of murder by poisoning
is reported from Dawson county.
It seems that Miss Sarah Redden,
whose father recently moved from
Dawson to this county, and who
had been living with Andrew Hul¬
sey a few miles south of Dawson-
ville, was poisoned in some way,
not dying however until after be¬
ing brought to her father’s house
near Long Swamp in this county
where she died on last Thursday
night. Sheriff Johnson of this
county went over to Dawson and
arrested two or three persons but
as nothing could be done with the
case here they were taken back to
Dawsonville yesterday. It seems
that over in Dawson the suspicion
rests upon others than those ar¬
rested. The girl’s stomach was
taken out by Dr. Pickett and was
pronounced by all the doctors pres¬
ent to contain poison.
NO SHAM OR HUMBUG
We have a silver mine two miles
south of Jasper, Pickens county
Ga., which is said by the best of
judges toj.be very rich. We are
satisfied that we have the richest
vein (supposed by some to be a
bed of silver) in the South, and
probably in the United States.
We have melted out pure silver
from the top rock in a blacksmith
shop. We have a pretty vein of
quartz and silver ore: also a very
large deposit of black silver ore.
This mine is for sale, and is a
good place for a man or company
with money to make a fortune.
We are willing to take a fair price
now for this mine: For further
particulars address,

Jasper as a Summer Resort.
With two excellent mineral
springs within two miles of Jasper,
good roads, pure air, fine mountain
scenery, and a hospitable people
there is nothing wanting except a
little effort, to make this a place of
rest and comfort for those who de¬
sire to escape from the mosquitoes,
sand flies, the heat and depression
of summer in lower Georgia, Flori¬
da and other places unfit for a res¬
idence in the hot months.
Jasper is 1600 feet above the
sea, on an elevated ridge or plat¬
eau, commanding an enchanting
view of monntains, for beauty of
scenery and variety Of landscape
unsurpassed, and only six miles
away. The nights here in summer
are cool and fefreshitig; the days
are not oppressively hot, with in¬
vigorating breezes from the moun¬
tains, in plain view in a sweep of
fifteen miles. The water is free¬
stone and as pure as any on earth.
Springs abound, from which water
flows in summer at a temperature
of 60 degrees, The mountain
streams possess rare and romantic
beauty, and the valleys are fertile.
The far-famed marble fields ■ begin
at a point, only 1 1-2 miles east of
town and extend more than eight
miles. The great quarries And
plants of the marble companies are
all within two hours’ drive of Jas¬
per, and would well repay a visit
to this place, if we had no other
attraction. Board) as good as the
best, can be had for $20 per month,
and in good private houses for less.
Conveyances are furnished at rea ■
sonable rates, and visitors will be
kindly and well cared for. We
could entertain fifty people during
the summer-

Our farmers have gone to work
with greater energy than has'been
displayed this year, Thc' wet
weathtr has put them badly be¬
hind with their work.
Mr. Wm. Thompson is
his mills repaired from the damage
they received from the high waters
last week. He will soon be ready
to make meal and flour.
Our merchants report trade
pretty lively for the season; chick¬
ens and eggs plentiful at.
prices.
Mr. G. W. Hamrick
plates bringing up a good stock
dry goods to add to his stock
groceries, We predict a good
trade for George for he is energet¬
ic and clever and has scores of
friends who will patronize him.
One certain young Dr. was call¬
ed the other night near the hour
of midnight to see a patient, and
behold, in the hurry and excite¬
ment of the moment he forgot his
shoes and pill bags, and he found
on arriving at his destiny that all
was well. One more human being
was ushered into this sin-cursed
world of ours and the glory is due
to the Dr. We hope he may al¬
ways be successful in his chosen
profession.
The place for holding our Sun¬
day school has been changed from
the school house to the Christian
church where we have better room.
Our school is still growing in in¬
terest and numbers. We are glad
to see that the Herald is becom-
ing a first-class weekly. Let every¬
body lend a helping hand.

FROM PlNE LOG.
The winds and rains have clriven
the farmers from their plantations
and there is a probability of some¬
body taking the blues, Some of
our farmers planted some cotton
seed last week; those who used a
wheat drill and guano last fall are
now wearing a smile for a fine
crop of wheat.
Mr. C. C. Sorrels, Of Ac worth,
passed through our village this
week hunting sheep and fat cattle.
We had an interesting sermon
delivered last Sunday night at
Olive Vine by Rev. D. M. Turner.
The congregation all left for their
homes but Memory Childers, a lit¬
tle boy about nine years old who
was left in the church house
asleep and remained there all night
and next morning when he went
home he looked like, he had been
disappointed about something.
His parents thought he had gone
to his grandfather’s.
Mr. J. H. Cowart is unable to
attend to his farming affairs on ac¬
count of a severe cold, but is get¬
ting better. Mrs. Dr. R. A. Rich¬
ey of this place, is very ill. We
hope she will recover soon.
We have had a flourishing school
at this place since the first of Jan¬
uary, but on account of so much
rain and a few cases of milmps
and some of the boys quitting off
te work, it is diminishing.

THE LAST HYMN.
(By mjtust.)
The Sabbath day was ending in a village
by tbo son,
The uttered benediction touched the peo¬
ple tenderly.
And they rose to face the sunset in the
glowing, lighted west,
And then hastened to their dwellings for
God’s blessed day of rest.
But they looked across the waters, and a
storm was raging there,
A fierce spirit moved above them—the
wild spirit, of the air,
And it lashed, and shook, and tore them,
till they thundered,groaned and boom’d,
And alas for any vessel in their yawning
gulfs entombed!
V ery anxious were the people on that
rocky coast of Wales
Lest the dawn of coming morrows should
be telling woful tales,
When the sea bad spent its passion, and
should cast upon the shore,
Bits of wreck and swelled victim*, as it
had done heretofore.
With rough winds blowing round her, a
brave woman strained her eyes,
And she saw along the billow's a large
vessel fall and rise.
Oh, it diil not need a prophet to tell what
the end would bo,
For no ship could ride in safety near that
shore, on such a sea.
Then the pitying people hurried from
their homes and thronged the beach,
Oil! for the power to cross tile water, and
t.ie perishing to reach!
Helpless hands were wi'ung for sorrow,
tender hearts grew cold with dread.
And the ship, urged by the tempest, to
the fatal rock-shore sped.
She has parted in the middle! Ohl the
half of her goes down!
God have mercy! Is heaven far to seek
for those who drown?
Lo, when next the white shocked faces
looked with terror on the sea,
Only one last clinging iigure on the spar
was seen to he!
Nearer the trembling watchers came the
wreck tossed by the wa ve,
And the man still clung and floated tho’
no power on earth could save*
“Could wc send him a short message?
Here’s a trumpet. Shout away.”
’Twas a preacher’s hand that took it, and
he wondered what to say.
Any memory of his sermon? Firstly?
Secondly? Ah, no!
There was but one thing to utter in that
awful hour of woe;
Lo, lie shouted through the trumpet,
“Look to Jesus! Can you hear?”
And, “ay/ay, sir!” rung the answer o’er
the water, loud aud clear.
Then they listened. He is singing, “Je¬
sus lover of my soul,”
And the wind brought hack the echo,
“While the nearer waters roll,”
Strange, indeed, it was to hear him, “Till
the storm of life is past,”
Singing bravely o’er the waters, “Oil, re¬
ceive my soul at last,”
He could have no other refuge, “Hangs
my helpless sold 011 thee.”
“Leave, ah, leave me not—” The singer
dropped into the sea.
And the watchers, looking homeward,
through their eyes by tears made dim,
Said, “He passed to be with Jesus, in the
singing of that hymn.”

M BILL ARP’S” JOY
UPON READING
MILLENNIAL DAWN,
THE
“ PLAN OF THE AGES/'
fuOU AHD eOMI'OET F02 ALL THINKERS.
READ HIS COMMENTS.
[From Atlanta Constitution.]
A kind lady has sent me a book of 35**
pages called “Millennial Dawn,” published
by the Tower Publishing Co., in Pittsburg,
Pa., which will, I believe, awaken the think¬
ing world. I see that its sale is already over
twenty live thousand. It is impossible and td
read this book without loving the writer
pondering his wonderful solution of the great
mysteries that have troubled us all our lives.
There is hardly a family to be found that ha*
not lost some loved one who died outside the
church—outside the plan of salvation and if
Calvinism be true outside of all hope and in¬
side of eternal torment and despair. We
smother our feelings and turn away from the
horrible picture. We dare not deny the faith
of oar fathers, and yet can it be possible that
the good mother and her wandering child art
forever separated—forever and forever ?
I believe it is tire rigidity of these teaching*
that makes atheists and infidels and skeptics—
makes Christians unhappy and brings their
gray hairs down in sorrow to the grave— a
lost child, a lost soul 1
Let us sec how many lost souls. The geog¬
raphers give the world a present population of
fourteen hundred million, of whom only on*
hundred aud sixteen million are Christians,—* Of
that is, who live in Christian countries.
these, only sixteen million are adult member*
of the church; and of these, about one million
walk not alter the flesh but after the spirit.
That is a beautiful picture.—Only one million
of truly good, pious Christian people in all thd
world, and thirteen hundred and ninety-nin*
millions who are elected to be eternally
damned. Add to these figures one hundred
and forly-two billions, who have already lived
and died in the ages past, and if all these ar 6
damned, it dues look like God’s plan of salva* soul
tion was a miserable failure. He gets one
for glory while Satan captures thousands.
This wonderful book teaches that trial is yet
to come—that all are to rise from the dead
when Christ comes, that He will offer His sal¬
vation to all people ; not only to the living,
but to those who rise from the dead. Hi*
kingdom will be supported by the saints and
by good people everywhere, and the mothe#
will have another chance to reclaim her wan¬
dering child and bring him unto the kingdom -
This wonderful book makes no assertions that
ire not weil sustained by the Scriptures. If
is built up stone by stone, and upon every
itone is the text, and it becomes a pyramid oi
God’s love, and inercy, and wisdom. I herd
is nothing in the Bible that the author denies
ar doubts, but there are many texts that he
throws a flood of light upon that seems to un¬
cover its daik and gloomy meaning. I sed
that editors of leading journals, and many
orthodox ministers of different denominations!
have indorsed it and have confessed to thi*
new and comforting light that ha3 dawned
upon the interpretation of God’s book. Theif
let every man read and ponder and take coni'
fort, for*we are all prisoners of hope. Tbi-i
s an age of advanced thought and mor*i
thinking is done than ever before,—men dar4
to think now. Light—more light, is th4
watchword. Bill Arp.
