MERCURIAL
Mr. J. C. Jones,of Fulton, Ark., saysof
“About ten years ago I con
-1 - tracted a severe case of blood
poison. Leading physicians prescribed
medicine after medicine, which I took
without any relief. I also tried mercu
rial and potash remedies, with unsuc-
RHEUMATISM
cossf ul results, but which brought on an
attack of mercuri l rheumatism that
made my life one of agony. After suf
e: ing four years I gave up all remedies
and commenced using S. S. S. After
taking several bottles, I was entirely
cured and able to resume work.

More land has been turned by our
farmers up to this time, perhaps, than
any season ever known before. Many
we urdei stand, are also preparing to
raise more grain and home supplies
thau ever before, and the prospect for
big crops is fine at present. All of
which is encouragement of the sub
stantial sort—and we only hope may
be realized to the fullest extent.

There are some papers and people
in Georgia, claiming to be Democratic,
who are as eager to find fault with and
injure the Democratic administration
as the bitterest republican organ or
politician is. They go out of their way
to fight the administration. They per
vert its utterances and purposely mis
construe its acts. To all purposes
they are republicans. It would be
more straightforward iu them to join
the republican party. —Eatonton Mes

When a paper has a quarter column
diclaiming any discord in the demo
cratic party and the balance of its edi
torial page filled with matter calculated
to create discord, to us it looks like
quite a discordant page. This is often
the case iu a leading Georgia daily
these days,—Oglethorpe Echo.
Extracts from an editorial by Miss
Helen Dortch, in the Milledgeville
Chronicle :
“Whatever of honor is attacked to
any name because of fearless fidelity to
right and country, is coupled with the
name of honest Bill Atkinson.”
“In the days of Georgia's political
tribulations when the grip 3, pass words
and signs of the secret political society,
seemed to he the ouly avenue to politi
cal preferment, it was Mr. Atkinson
who led the fight against the enemy,
preaching the gospel of Democracy
from one end of Georgia to the other.
And not until the polls closed on elec
tion day, and the grandest political
victory ever won in Georgia, recorded,
d.d Mr. Atkinson’s self- sacrificing and
earnest work cease.”
“Mr. Atkinson belongs to an age in
which are centered the hopes and am
bitions of the young men aud women of
Georgia. This young generation is
going to roll up an old fashioned Dem
ocratic majority for the brave young
leader of the Democratic hosts of the
Empire State of the South.”
Highway Robberry.
A Mr. Strickland, who lives some
two miles from Union church, but in
Henry county, was coming from Cov
ington last Monday with same jugs of
liquor. On the road, about 2 or 3
o’clock, he was overtaken aud passed
by a white man and negro driving very
rapidly in a buggy, near Brown’s bridge.
When Mr. Strickland was near Salem
Camp Ground, this same white man
and negro came out of woods iu front
of him, and the white man caught the
mule by the bridle, at the same time
drawing his pistol, and demanded of
Strickland his money and liquor or his
life. Strickland said, “you mean that
you want a drink but the white man
made reply that he meaDt just what he
said. Then Strickland jumped from
the buggy and ran around on the other
side of the mule from them. Just as
he jumped the negro threw a rock at
him which brushed his shoulder. The
unknown white mau then fired his pis
tol under the mule at Strickland, mis
sing him. This frightened the mule so
he ran away, ieaving Strickland and
the robbers in the road face to face.
The white robber tried to shoot, but
his pistol only snapped.
Then Strickland drew his pistol and
shot the man, he thinks twic*>, once in
the breast aud then once in the hack,
as they ran away. Mr. Stricklund
then hunted up his mule, and after
wards got Mr. W. T. Stantou to go
hack to the place with him. Mr.
Strickland thought that perhaps he
had killed the man, but they failed to
Hud him. Mr. Stricklaud went back
over the road to try to trace up the
robbers, which he thinks perhaps he
may be able to do.
Friday a white man and a uegro
were arrested charged with the crime,
tried and committed. The white man
gave a SIOO bond, while the negro was
placed iu Newton county jail.—Rock

Our Next Governor.
For the information of those interes
ted in the gubernatorial contest, our
Junior, on Tuesday of jthis week, polled
100 citizens of Jackson, for the pur
pose of fiudiug out they stood in
the race for governor. { The poll was
entirely impartial to either side, the
men were asked as we came to them,
and no preference wgfl shown either
party. The Argus is for the best man
in this scramble for <j«ce. and as we i
know nothing General Ev
ans, aud a great deal Jess of Colonel
Atkinson, it ts reasonable to suppose
that our views in the nwtter are entire
ly impartial, and if it tpas left with us,
we feel no hesitancy HDaying the next
governor of Georgif %puld be a man
with whom we are fully acquain-
Out of the 100 £ittPjbi)B polled, we
found 58 for Atkiusodft 32 for Evans,
and 10 noncommittal. Kind during our
round it was veiy sujjestive from the
answers given, that th| young democ
racy is for AtkinsotmJiieart and soul,
while the older demotgats are for Ev
ans, teeth and toe tiailjgs llow it stands
outside of Jackson are not able to
s'ate, but from a*confei sational point
of view, we find en. Evans has
a strong following among the Confeder
ate soldiers of this section, and while
his war record may have a teudency to
give him numerous votes in our couuty,
the gentlemanly qualities aud intellect
ual powers of his opponent, coupled
with the valiant services he has ren
dered to the democrotic party during
the past few years will no doubt bal
ance up accounts with the General,
and it will take a person who is better
versed in mathematics than ourselves,
to figure up who will come out victor
in the end—Jackson Argus.
The Cost of the Fight.
The prize fight at Jacksonville be
tween Corbett and Mitchell was for a
purse of $20,000 offerred by the Du
val Athletic club of Jacksonville, of
which Harry Mason is president aud
J. E. T. Bowden, general manager.
The club also paid the two pugilists
$2,500 each for training expenses and
erected a building in East Jacksonville
in which to “pull off” the fight, the
cost of which, including the site privi
lege, etc, was nearly $4,000. Trav
eling and office expenses, together
with attorneys, fees and other items of
various kinds, have brought the total
cost of the affair up to fully $40,000.
The arena was arranged to seat about
13,000 people, and had not the firm at
titude of the governor of Florida
against the fight from the very begin
ning, operated disastrously upor. the
sale of boxes and seats, the profits of
the venture would undoubtedly have
reached fully 100 per cent.
Wages Restored.
Knoxville, Tenn. , February 2. j
Three months ago the wages of engi
neera, firemen, brakemen, conductors
and shopmen of the , East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia road were cut 1°
per cent. The employes of the road
were much dissatisfied and a strike was
averted only when Receiver Fink
promised that the reduction would he
in force ODly three months.
Today General Manager Hudson
announced that although the finances
of the road were in a worse condition
than ever, the receiver’s promise is
kept and wages are put back at the old
rates to date from yesterday. This
applies to traiumen and shopmen over
the entire system. Clerks aud officials,
whose salaries were cut, receive no in
crease, and no date is fixed lor one.
The increase to trainmen averages
! from $5 to sls per month over the
| whole system.
Prosperity reigns where Tennessee
wagons are used.
Judge Stewart.
John D. Stewart was horn in Clay
ton county, three miles south of Jones
boro, on Flint river, August 2, 1833.
His father ctme to Georgia from North
Carolina. His early life was
unev.-nt.ful. The circumstances of his
faintly precluded many advantages.
He worked on his father’s farm and '
attended a country school a portion of i
each year until he was nineteeu years
old fie left the farm at that age aud
attended Marshall college at Gritlin for
one year. The uext year he taught
school anil afterwards began reading
law. At that early age he exhibited
ihe strong purpose, indomitable ener
gy and perseverance by which he lifted
himself from obscurity to an honorable
rank among men of ability ami useful
ness. Without funds to prosecute his
studies in his chosen profession, he
taught at night in order to support
himself.
Judge Stewart had always been a
student and ho possessed in an eminent
degree the mental qualities necessary
to appreciate the best authors. He
devoted all his leisure time to readiug
and accumulated a large library of
useful books. From his admission to
the bar, Judge Stewart went steadily
on to honor and success. Animated by
principle, honesty, integrity, and en
dowed with a high intellect and supe
rior moral characteristics, his associates
soon learned to look upon him as a
leader among tU'ii. Ilonoisaiid places
of trust were soon bestowed upon him.
He was twice mayor of Griffin, twice
representative from Spalding county in
the legislature aud one session chair
man of the judiciary committeo. For
eight years he was ordinary of Spald
ing couuty and was twice elected judge
of the Fliut circuit, which position he
filled with distinction for five years.
For two terms ho represented the
fifth district iu the United States con
gress, where he won general admiration
by his staunch support of the right.
His career as a lawyer, representative
and judge was always characterized by
a high appreciation of honor and mteg
rity and a devotion to duty which made
for him a noble record.
Judge Stewart was always an active
force in the cause of education, and a
strong promoter of any measures tend
ing to its advancement. He was for
along while au active member of the
board of trustees of Gridin's public
school. He was previous totheestab
lisbinent of the public schools one of
the trustees of the Sam Hailey Male
institute and the Griffin Female college.
He was also a trustee of Mercer univer
sity and of the Baptist Theological
Semitlary of Louisville, Ky. Ho was
chosen and served as an active member
o( the commit ee which was appointed
by the Georgia Baptist convention to
select a uew site for Mercer university
when that institution was moved from
Peuufield to Macon, and for years was
moderator for the Flint River Associa
tion. He was for many year* president
of the home mission board of the
Southern Baptist convention.
Judge Stewart was ordained in Grif
fin in August in 1871 as a Baptist
minister. II s did much good work for
his church where hi 3 goodness, his high
integrity, his eloquence and the splen
did magnetism of his great powers and
bountiful personality were active forces
in saving souls. Most of his life was
devoted to law, and it was as a lawyer
and a politician that he was best known
in the state. Judge Stewart’s life was
remarkable by its freedom from vice or
evil of any kind, lie was always no
ted for sobriety and temperate habits.
He was never intoxicated in his life
nor did be ever use tobacco in any form.
He always gave his support to the
cause of temperance.
Judge Stewart was married Decern
ber 19, 185/1, to Miss Susan A. Dicker
son, who has been to him a loviug
companion and helpmeet. Three sons
and two daughters blessetl their union,
all living happily in Griffin, and being
uear to their father in his declining life.
.Judge Stewart was in feeble health for
a number of years, his condition assurn
ing a serious form the last two years.
He practised law, however, until within
a short time back, win u he was forced
to give up all active work.
As a man, Judge Stewart has been
honored by men. He has possessed
eminently all those qualities which
i command respect aud admiration. His
success was exceptional. Starting out
at nineteen in life, without a dollar,
teaching at night in order to study law,
and climbing round by round the iadder
of fame at.d fortune, his last years were
| blessed with a beautiful home well fur
nished aud with houses, stores and
i farms scattered over the city and eoun -

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Some Interesting Weather Statistics.
The following interesting weather
statistics wore compiled for the Madi
son Advertiser, for the information of
those who claim that the weather we
have had this winter is without a pre
cedent.
The writer says:
There was no frost in Geoigia In
1779 and 1822 until the 20th of De
cember. In 1774 there was a frost in
May, which killed large trees. In Jan.
1827, the Oconee river at Milledgeville
and the Savannah at Augusta were
frozen over, something never before
known.
'Hie following winter was mild, the
mercury ranging from 61 deg. to 76
deg. in January. Watermelons and
shad were in Savannah and Macon
markets, and the vegetation had the
verdure of spring. On April sth ol
the same yoar, the mercury fell to 26
deg., much lower than it had been all
winter. The corn and cotton and tome
trees were killed.
The December of 1828 was warm.
Flies and mosquitoes were troublesome.
The thermometer at lvitouton register
ed 74 at 8 o’clock p. m., on Dec. 11,
1828. June 1, 1830, was cool, mercu
ry down to 60 degrees— 3o cool that
much coton died. Snow fell in Rabun
couuty. No rain of any amount fell
from Juno 1, to Nov. 1, and people
from Wilkes county came 40 miles to
Park’s mills, nearly all small streams
having dried up.
Snow fell in Middle Georgia on Jan.
8, 1805, to the depth of 8 to 13 inches.
Another snow fell on Eeb. 3,1835, to
the depth of 1 iuchos. Feb. H.h was
very cold, the mercury registering 3
degrees below zero at Eatonton, and
8 below at Milledgeville. So we may
see that the “unusual” ol tho present
winter Las not been confined to our lat
ter years.
Trulued Turkeys,
Tame turkeys can bo trained to hunt
wild ones,” said Maj. A. 8. Willis to
the St. Louis Globe Democrat. “I
owned one called Dick down in Hoik
county, Tenuessee, that obtained a state
reputation. I was offered SIOO for
him at one time, but then I thought he
was a phenomenal bird. Since his
death, however, I have discovered that
the talent for hunting wild turkeys is
uot uncommon among tame ones. The
call of the wild fowl differs from that
of the Domestic one, but the latter can
eas’ly learn the former’s calls if the
hunter is patient enough to teach him.
The tame turkey can be taught so that
he can be taken to the woods, and will
ther send forth the challenge call. If
a turkey cock is within hearing au aus"
wering note of defiance is invariably
made. This is replied to, and finally
the wild turkey will come very cauti
ously until he sees the tame one, as he
is a suspicious creature. But when he
sees the tur key his fears are gone, and
he starts at once to do battle. Then
the trained turkey 1 uns anil the bun
ter shoots. The advantage of this
method are very great. While a
burner can imitate a turkey call pretty
closely, there is au accompaniment
made by strik’ng the ground with the
wings which cannot be reproduced, aud
without this the game is suspicious.
Tire hunting tur key must he taken iri
hand when very young aud constantly
drilled, but beyond the patience requir
ed. very little skill need exist on the
part of the trainer.

A Word to the (lovernors.
When Gov. Northen hoaid that the
Corbett Mitchell fight would be “pull
ed off,” as the saying goes, in the
state of Georgia, ho repaired with a
regiment of cavalry to the Florida
frontier and delivered himself of some
high sounding phrases to the effect
that he would die in the last ditch be
fore he would permit the Empire state
of the south to be disgraced by a fist
fight. Gov. Mitchell, of Florida, or
dered out the Floaida militia to pre
vent the fight, bnt it took place as prom
ised, and with disastrous results to Gov.
Mitchell's English namesake. The
Savannah Morning News quitely re
marked yesterday that the governors of
Georgia and Florida have been indulg
ing in a good deal of buncombe in their
treatment ol the prizo tight, and added
the following pertinent comments:
“Every once in a while some citizen of
this state, or of F lorida, calls upon
some other citizen to meet him in a se
cluded spot with friends and pistols, in
order that they may settle a personal
difficulty that seems to them calls for
blood, but the governor of neither state
considers it necessary to call out the
troops to stop the deadly encounter.
Why, then, should men be called from
their business and professional duties
to put on their uniforms, and take up
their Winchesters to stop a fist fight,
the unlawfulness of which is questioned
and in which there is little or no prob
ability that either contestant will be
seriously injured ?” We cannot ans
wer the question. Perhaps neither of
tho rediculous governors could answer
it. If, however, they were to exert
half tho energy they have wasted in
this case in enforcing the law in other
and more serious affairs it would doubt
less be to the advantage of society.
Now and then the mob in Georgia and
Florida take a man and hang him with
out tho right of trial by jury, and we
do not remember that the governor of
either state has ever called out the
troops to suppress the mob. A prize
fight is not, in our opinion, brutal and
brutalizing though it be, much woise
than a lynching bee.—Charleston News
and Courier.
