DYSPEPSIA ** For six years I was a victim of dys pepsia in its worst form. I could eat nothing out milk toast, and at times my stomach would not retain and digest even that.

Blackburn A “Georgia Cracker’s” View of N. Y. Yielding to the request of friends, I submit in this article •‘A Georgia Cracker’s” view of the great metropolis, the foremost city of the western hemisphere, and in some respects the foremost city of the world. It is not my purpose to attempt any description of the great city, for the many who, from time to time have been to New York, will bear me out in saying that no words can describe, no language portray or. imagination picture what New York really is. In this article I will have to do only with a few things that interested and im pressed me most, not even touch ing upon the innumerable and be wildering attractions that meet you at every turn. On a bright and beautiful after noon in August, I stepped from the platform of the elegant vesti bule train that runs from Atlanta to Jersey City, and in a few mo ments was aboard one of the Pen sylvania rail road ferry boats that conduct you across to the opposite side. It is strange liow scenes revisited after the lapse of years will affect one! Twenty-five years ago, 1 crossed that same ferry, in com pany with my cherished husband, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Holmes (or “Miss Kitty” as she was familiarly called) R. J. Powell, Dr. J. E. Cook undone or two others —all in a moment, the picture that hangs on memory’s walls was brought to mental view, and a rush of sad ness inexpressible came over me, for 0, pathetic to state’! only two of that happy party that looked out with such joyous anticipation upon the scene .before us, remains on earth today, the others have one by one dropped out of my life and crossed with “the boatman pale” into that country, “from whence no traveller ever returns.” All! how could we bear the pathos and tragedy of life if it were not for our faith in God, this confidence in “our Fathers” wisdom and care, which enables us to perform hero ically the duties that still con front us, cheered and comforted with that Hope which illumines the darkest hour! There has always been a fascina tion to me, associated with life a New York Hat, not dreaming that I would one day, from an actual experience realize what it is. “The Yankees” certainly un derstand the art of utilizing space, and these apartment houses are model of comfort and convenience ; “necessity quickens invention” we know and when every foot of ground means so much gold, they have to get their wits together to get as much as possible out of space, hence, they go as far down, and as far up as they dare. It is as good asplaying at “house-keep ing,” in one of these charming flats. The seventeenth annual Horse Show opened at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 18th. this event marks the beginning of the season and “the Smart Set” were there remarkable for destination and the elegance of gowns, hats and jewels. The great Garden was resplendent, every box had its company, notably the Astors, Van derbilts, Goulds, etc. Over two thousand horses were entered, the pick of the horse flesh of the land. The automo bile gives speed and sport, but it will never displace the horse. From ! the number of fine specimens of horse-flesh entered, and the enthu siasm manifested the horse-less age will never come. The subway with all its difficul ties and marvelous engineering is progressing rapidly' The thous ands who daily traverse these crowded thorough fares can have little, or no idea of the magnitude jof the work, for a mile in many ! sections there is scarely a foot to i be removed which does not require blasting; imagine the traffic which | pours across the streets day and night not being impeded for an hour! As the excavation proceeds ; it is of course necessary to support. BARNESVILLE NEWsJ^SETTE.'AIURSDAY, AfiRTL 17,190' >. the tremendous weight above. At present, this busy thoroughfare with its roaring traffic is balanced upon wooden beams. There is a space of about twenty feet, be tween the roof of the sub-way and the street surface which is left un disturbed ; this section contains all the pipes and wires of this mighty city; these will remain undisturbed throughout the entire construction, no matter liow heavy may be the blasting beneath some of the busiest streets in the world its complicated piping will not be disturbed. The heaviest fall of snow in two years fell in February. To remove the snow of this storm cost the city ssoo,ooo. The great city with its mantle of white was bewitch- Ingly beautiful, the sleighing, skating, the river with its floating blocks of ice, were all scenes of in terest to me. The first New Year of the twen tieth century was welcomed with both frolic and prayer; at mid night came the din of horns, the shrieking of whistles, the clanging gongs, the plucky little tugs shrieked in the rivers, the huge ocean steamers lying at the piers rolled out a chorus —above them all the solemn chimes from church steeples. Old Trinity chimed over her ancient dead, Grace church caught up the refrain, then from spire to spire through out the city until the ears became con fused by the sound. These are some of the songs sung by Trinity’s chimes—“ Eve ning Beils,” “Blue Bells of Scot land,” “My Fatherland,” “Auld Lang Syne” and “Home Sweet Home.” The death of McKinley made a profound impression upon the city, a deep undertone of sadness was heard above all other tones. The buildings magnificently draped in white, black and purple, flags at half mast from both public and private houses, impressive memo rial services from all the churches. Prince Henry’s visit caused a considerable ripple, and New York threw her gates wide open and made the royal visitor quite at home. I saw his beautiful yacht, all in white and gold, it was in deed a thing of beauty. Two of New York’s leading princ- Barnum's Monkeys “All well—all happy—lots of fun**. That is the regular report from the monkey cage of Barnum’s Circus ever since the keepers began dosing the monkeys with Scott’s Emul sion. Consumption was carry ing off two thirds of them every year and the circus had to buy new ones. One day a keeper accident ally broke a bottle of Scott’s Emulsion near the monkey cage and the monkeys eagerly lapped it up from the floor. This suggested the idea that it might do them good. .Since then the monkeys have received regular doses and the keepers report very few deaths from consumption. Of course it’s cheaper to buy Scott’s Emul sion than new monkeys—and that suits the circus men. Consumption in monkeys and in man is the same disease.

Mr. Rouss was known as the “Confederate Millionaire,” and though living at the North among the people lie fought against he remained always the same true, patriotic old veteran, displaying, whenever an opportunity offered the dear old flag he fought under for four long years. The New Yorkers honored him while living, and deplore his death. The stock exchange! where can 1 find words to describe this scene. I ask you to imagine yourself in a Lunatic Asylum when all the in mates are allowed together for a while —indeed, this is no exage ra tion, a veritable bedlam, “a con fusion of tongues,” surpassing 1 should say, that time when the tower of Babel was arrested in building! , I, of course, heard some excel cellent preaching, Dr Willis at historic old “Plymouth Church,” Dr. Lyman Abbott who was Bee cher’s successor, Dr. Parkhurst, Vandyke, sth.

Juliet moy ask, “what is in a name,” and Romeo may say, “nothing,” but 1 reply, there is much indeed in a name, if i the name is a rich legacy handed down from years filled with glory I—“OldJohn StreetM. E. Church,” the “Mother of American Metho dism,” the foundation of the first permanent M. E. Society in Amer ica, reads like a nobler and diviner story of “Aladdins Lamp,” its light touching every hill top and show line of the continent. There is no other spot on the face of the earth of such historic interest and value to Methodists as “Old John Street Church.” For nearly one hundred and thirty years the gos pel has been preached without a break. Through this church was established a “Book Room,” to day, as a result of that action we have the magnificent publishing house, the “Methodist Book Con cern.” It was my privilege and pleasure to worship with this con gregation the first Sabbath of the New Year. My name was the first entered in the visitors book for the New Year. J met with a cordial welcome here, and felt in deed, that in religion “there is no North, no South.” all one in Christ. The sweet service enjoy ed here was impressive indeed and will remain always one of the sweetest memories of my sojourn at the North and while appreciat ing and enjoying beyond words, iny residence of seven months in this magnificent city, it was with joy unbounded that this “Georgia Cracker” who glories in the name, turned her face to dear old “Dixie” and Barnesville and the dear friends, and neighbors, who are never “too busy” to show an inter est in you, and whose warm glowing southern hearts give you such a royal welcome. New York has reasons to be proud of her rank as second largest city in the world, and we as a nation share to a cer tain extent in this pride, but “Our country” is so vast that the people of the different sections are as unlike almost as if they repre sented different nationalities. 1 willingly accord all due honor to the North, but the “Sunny South” comes in for her full share. Aside from their enormous wealth and the time thoy have had to become great, we by no means suffer by comparison. I will be honest and generous to say, both can learn the one from the other, both have advantages peculiarly their own, Politically, the “bloody chasm” no longer exists, peace and pros perity is blessing the land, “unit ed we stand,” and proudly we look up and point to America’s flag floating o’er the “land of the free and home of the brave.” Mrs. S. K. Cook. BETTER THAN PILES. The question Ims been asked, “in what way are Chamber] nil’s .Stomach A Liver Tablets superior to pills? Our answer is: They are easier and more pleasant to take, more mild and gentle in effect and more reliable as they can always be dependend upon. Then they cleanse and invigorate the stomach and leave the bowels in a natural con dition, while pills are more harsh in effect and their use is often followed by constipation. For sale by Jno. 11.

The following special appeared in the Atlanta Journal one day last week: Yesterday at the first annual meeting of the directors of the Bank of Covington a dividend of 8 per cent was declared and fl per cent additional was put aside as undivided profit. Mr. L. O. Ben ton was re-elected president; Dr. N. Z. Anderson, vice president, and Mr. C. S. Thompson, cashier. The directors expressed themselves as being well pleased with the work of Mr. Thompson, and voted him an increase in salary.” Mr. Benton is the president of the Bank of Barnesville and is a splendid man for the head of such an institution.

The recent statement tha a tel egram had been sent from a Zeb ulon Guerry club to Col. Guerry, urging him to retire from the gu bernatorial race, is now pronoun ced a fake, as the following affida vit will show: Georgia—Houston County. In person came E. L. Bryan, who, on oath says, that he was in Zebulon, Ga., on Saturday, April sth, on professional business. That soon after he reached Zebu lon he was standing at Head’s drug store in conversation with several gentlemen, among whom was Sidney Green, editor of the Pike County .Journal, when the subject of the telegram sent from Zebulon on or about April Ist to Hon. Dupont Guerry, signed by the Guerry Club of Zebulon, and published in the Macon Telegraph April 2nd., advising Hon. Dupont Guerry to retire from the race for governor before embarrassing friends further, \vas brought up, and that Sidney Green stated in deponents presence that he sent the telegram with the concurrence and approval of several other gen tlemen, all of whom are avowed friends of Mr. Terrell. Deponent further swears that he made dili gent inquiry concerning this mat ter and all the information that he could get confirmed Green’s statement. Green also told depo nent that he was the correspond ent of the Macon Telegraph who wired that paper at its request confirming the telegram and state ment contained therein. Depo nent further swears that he made diligent inquiry and his informa tion derived from Terrell and Guerry men was that there is not and never was a Guerry club in Zebulon. E. L. Bryan.
