throughout, a thread of pathos
sweetened the merriment into
loving sympathy, When he
had finished the scene from Quo
Vadis one little boy said, “It
was worth a dollar to hear that.

Hon. Albert H. Russell.
In this week's issue will be
found the announcement of Hon.
Albert H. Russell, who is a candi
date to succeed himself as solici- »*
tor of the City court of Rain
bridge. Mr. Russell is now serv
ing his first term in the office, hav
ing been appointed by Gov. Can
dler, just before the expiration of
his term as Governor of Georgia.
Mr. Russell has filled the office to
the satisfaction of all and asks for
re-election as an endorsement of
his first term, which is a custom
generally observed in politics. As
a prosecuting attorney Mr. Russell
has been vigilant and the people’s
interests have been well looked af
ter, yet bis administration of the
duties of the effice has not been
oppressive to the innocent. He
is an able lawyer, keen, courteous
and brainy, and in every way qual
ified for the place aud during his
ciudidacy for appointment from
Mr. Candler he received not only
the strongest endorsement of the
local bar, but of the members of
the Supreme court bench as well.
Mr. Russell is a strong candidate
and his opponents will have a
hard fight.
Prof. Newton’s Lecture.
The lecture delivered at the
academy Monday night by Prof.
C. B. Newton was deeidedlv J one
of the best heard here this sea
son. From opening to conclu
sion the audience, a goodly one,
was appreciative and each new
feature ot the program elicited
rounds of laughter and applause.
Plis character impersonations
were fine and abounding in hu
mor, while his recitals of a se
rious nature were splendid. As
lecturer Mr. Newton is among
the best in the country.
When You Have a Cold.
The first action when you have a
cold should be to relive the lungs.
This is best accomplished by the
free use of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. This Remedy liquefies
the tough mucus and causes its
expulsion from the air cells of the
lungs, produces a free expectora
tion, and opens the secretions. A
complete cure soon follows. This
remedy will cure a severe cold in
less time than any other treat
ment and it leaves the system in
a natural and healthy condition.
It counteracts any tendency to
ward pneumonia, For sale bv
