Death of Mrs. Maude F. Weems.
The readers of Thk Weekly will
readily call to mind our brief notice of
the recent death of Samuel S. Weems.
1 am now called to chronicle the death
of his beloved companion, who has been
called to follow him across the dark
sea. However sad the surroundings
may have been connected with her
death, we rest assured that she sweetly
sleepeth in her grave to-night. In
common with many others, clouds of
sorrow and bereavement often over
shadowed her pathway ; but the clouds
have all rolled by, never to gather
again.
According to the record furnished
me, she entered upon her life’s pilgrim
age on the 27th of February, 1868, and
completed the journey on the 17th day
of March, 1895. Mrs. Weem’s maiden
name was Harvey, and wheu quite a
young woman, Maude F. Harvey was
married to Samuel S Weems in 1882.
A short period of scarcely 13 years,
measured up their journey across the
desert of earth’s crumbling sands, leav
ing behind them three little children to
eucounter the orphan’s heritage.
While looking upon the countenance of
this good woman, as rhe fay a corpse,
gently placed iu her coffin, my faith
and trust iu the infinite love of God
rose transcendently high above the
gloomy shadows of this sorrow smitten
world and layed hold upon the pillars
of the throne eternal, and was made to
rejoice that her warfare was over.
While 1 saw not a tear falling upon her
coffin, it brought no sorrow to her
peaceful slumbers. Like her loving
saviour, she would say to those she
was leaving behind, “weep not for me,
but rather for yourselves.” The
depths of sorrow that once overflowed
her heart, have all keen covered up by
the curtains of the grave. Looking
out across the dark sea, she saw only
the gloom there was in leaping her
dear little children. But rising to the
summit of her faith and trust in God, 1
she committed them to the keeping of
her heaveuly Father, and bowed her
self iu calm submission to His sover
eign will. A vast concourse of friends
were gathered at her grave to lay her
beside her husband, to await the sound
ing of the trumpet. Let her sweetly
sleep amidst the fragrance of the flow
ers that shall bloom over her peaceful
grave. W. T. G.

Grippe Cured in Three Days.
Mr. L. Stuart, Atlanta, Ga., says:
“Iu January last I had a violent attack
of La Grippe. I was advised to try
Dr. King's Royal Germetuer, which
cured me in three days. I was again
attacked with the Grippe this mouth,
November, and again cured myself with
Getmetuer more quickly than before.”
“Thus it is that those who try Germe
tuer for the Grippe once, use nothing
else in future. It is all that ran be de
sired in every case of Grippe, Cold and
Lung Trouble of all kinds. sl. Six

“We have only once to live ; there
fore let us liv« to some purpose. The
day that dawned this morning will nev
er dawn again. The opportunities
which it brought with it will never
come again ; aud if we fail to fill it
with the service it requires of us, there
will be do possibility of returning into
it to repair the mischief. The wheels
of Time’s Chariot have ratchets to
them, and they move only forward.”—

Morbus Sabbatlcus.
The Mid-Continent thus deals with
i| disease that Is at the present alarm
ingly on the increase:
“That is a most pucul'ar disease,
’Morbus Sahbaticus’ It has baffled
the skill of tuaitv a wife and mother.
It is learnedly discussed: ‘Morbus
Sahbaticus,’ or Sunday sickness, is a
disease peculiar to church members.
The attack comes on suddenly every
Sunday ; no sjmptoms are f<-lt on Sat
urday night; the patieut sleeps well
and awakes feeling well : eats a hearty
breakfast; but about church or Sunday
school time the attack comes on, and
continues until services are over for the
raoruing. Then the patient feels easy
and eats a h ‘arty diuner. In the af
ternoon lie feels much better, aud is
able to take a walk, talk about polit'cs,-
aud read the Sunday papers ; he eats a
hearty supper, but about church time
he has another attack aud stays at
home. He retires early, sleeps well,
wakes up Monday morning refreshed
and able to go to work, and does not
have any symptoms of the disease un
til the following Sunday. The pecu
liar features are as follows : 1. It at
tacks members of the church. 2. It
never makes its appearance except ou
the Sabbath. 3. The symptoms vary,
but it uever interferes with sleep or
appetite. 4. It never lasts more than
24 hours. 5. It generally attacks the
bead of the family. 6. No physician is
ever called. 7 It always proves fatal
in the end—to the soul. 8 No remedy
is known for it except prayer. 9. Re
ligion is the only antidote. 10 It is
becoming fearfully prevalent. After
a cure through prayer has been found,
wo would prescribe as a most excellent
tonic, appetizer aud general stimulant,
a good church paper. Sig.: To be
takeu fifty two times every year.”
False Economy.
We heard a gentleman temark the
other day that wheu hard times struck
the average citizen the first thing he
did was to stop his paper ; the next
thing to take bis children from school,
and the next to quit paying his preach
er, aud thus imagine that he was prac
ticing economy ; and the gentleman told
the truth. Great economy isn’t it ?
Kill off the preacher, the teacher and
the newspaper—the three groat factors
in the intellectual and moral life of any
community, and then imagine that such
was economy ! Kill off the preacher
aud let your children grow up moral
savages; kill off the teacher and let
your off springs grow up to be hewers
of wood aud drawers of water for the
children of those who have got more
sense ; kill off your newspaper and see
your town go down, business grow stag
nant, and those children whom you
have decreed to be intellectual and
moral dwarfs, loaf around for want of
employment. This is wonderful econ
omy.—Ei.

I WHY WE ARK POOR.
It is Not From Lack of Income, but
From Abundance of Out-go,
We hear of so uftny complaints made
and so many exetnits given why we are
poor, and the reason for our not having
any money, that we feel inclined to
think up some of ftie causes, and look
out for some of the leaks through which
our money has gonf.
The millions and, millions of dollars
that have been poured into the South
during the last thiity years is a sum so
vast that it is almost incomprehensible
when we try toJeven estimate it.
Where has it gone Some assert that
the purchase of tnules aud food pro
ducts that we could*have raised at home
has taken it away jrad that is partially
true. Others claim that enormous pur
chases and extravagant use of fertilizers
has been a chief cause, and we believe
that statement. f
Mauy reasou that the dilapidation
caused by the war had much to do with
the spendiug of our money in order for
us to recuperate, replenish aud estab
lith our home cotnfofts and necessities ;
that Is also true. Every one admits
that our great necessities iu every phase
of life and the exhorbitant prices that
we have paid for them on a credit has
prevented our retaining much of our
wealth at home for the past thirty
years. There is no doubt of truthful
ness of the above suggestions, and no
one will deny the fact that times would
have been better if a different policy
had been pursued by our people in re
gard to some of these important things.
The fact, however, remains that after
all of this bad and unwise policy our
people have received euough over and
above this waste, as we call it, to have
made the wlmle people easy and com
fortable if not rich. Where then has
this surplus gone ? Did you ever stop
to think about it ? If you have, could
you help seeing the blood sucking
leeches that have been draining our
veins of wealth all the:-e years without
returning one drop of , \ourishmeiit to
make more blood 7 'j -iqney that
wo have paid out for i ' n ®*"}nce the
war would have btf l ' ; cotton factory
in every county in eveiy state in the
South. The money that has been lost
in cotton futures, lotteries aud other
gambling schemes would have built and
endowed a college in every county in
Georgia. The money that we have
spent for tobacco and cigars in thirty
years would have built every family in
the State a comfortable home. The
mouey that has beeQ fooled away on
life aud fire insurance since Lee’s sur
render would rebuild, of brick, every
church in our land. The vast suras
that our people have beeu skinned out
of by buying sewing machines on the
“installment plan” useless lightning
rods, cooking ranges at double prices
from peddlers, Texas ponies from auc
tioneers, patent rights for churns, coffee
pots, plows and patent medicines and
thousauds of other worthless patents,
would have given every widow in
Georgia a home, and clothed, fed and
educated every orphan in the State ;
while the mouey paid for chewing gum,
prize candy, show tickets, soap receipts,
snake charmers, and “piuter dogs”
would give us all the pocket change we
need. No wonder theu that we are
poor, that we cry hard times, that we
cuss Cleveland, cuss Congress, in fact
cuss everybody and everything but our
selves for our follies.
Now wheu we consider that all this
money has been made and wasted hy
about one half of our population that
work, besides supporting the others
who do not work, we are compelled to
admit that it is uot the lack of income
that causes our distress, but the abun
dance of “out-go,” that leaves the ach
pig void. We verily believe it would
he wise for us to adopt financial
schemes to guard our own individual
treasuries.
Let us consider this matter at least.

Lucy Kltlott Keeler Wishes She Were
a Girl Again.
If 1 were a girl again—if some he
nignant fairy should touch me witlt her
wand aud say : “Be u girl again,’’ anti
I should feel bu-stiug over me the g«u
erous impulses, the enthusiasm, the
buoyancy, the ambition, that belonged
to sixteen—some things 1 should do,
and some things I should not do, to
make me at fifty the whom now
at fifty I should like to be.
First of all, I should study self con
trol—the control of body, of speech, of
temper ; a power best learned in youth,
before the current of habit has deepen
ed the current of self will aud inipetu
osity that seems to be cut in every hu
man heart. I should count one hun
dred, like Tattycorum, before I would
allow myself to utter unkind, impul
sive words ; I should scorn to burst iu
to tears because of some petty correc
tion or grievance; I should learn to sit
quietly, to close a door gently, to walk
calmly, even when my thoughts were
boiling within me.
I should shun, if I were a girl again,
the tendency to be sensitive and sus
picious. Because hit friend talks to
another person, or because a group of
acquaintances seem to ho enjoying
themselves apart from me, I should not
fancy myself negltcted. I should not
coustrue thoughtlessness into intention
al slights, nor abstraction into Indiffer
ence I should say ofte.uer to myself:
“My friettd did not see that I was here ;
she has uot heard of my return ; she is
busy with her music ; she is tired after
her journey. I will truHt in her friend
ship, just as I would have her trust ill
miue.”
If I were a girl again, I should he
more careful about nty conversation.
I should beware of slang and gossip
and a tendency to tlrop into silence. 1
should avoid sarcasm like a plague, re
membering that the person who uses it
shows her sense of her own inferiority
Nobody ever had so eiauy enemies ps
Disraeli ; aud it is tq JA*. rotnetnbered
that :was ‘ his most pojverfu I
weapon. I should practice the art of
such gay repartee us is free from satire
aud uukiudness, learning to tell a story
well, and to dwell upon what is kindly
aud happy. I should he more ready to
express my appreciation and thanks for
services rendered ;be quicker with my
praise and tardier with my criticism. I
should cultivate a distinct enunciation,
enlarge my vocabulary, and remember
Lord Chesterfield’s dictum : “Never
utter oue word, even in common con
versation, that should uot be the most
expressive and the most elegant with
which the language could supply him.”
If I were a girl again, I should he
a better student. I should worry less
over my lessons, and potter less ; but I
should th'nk as I study, and try to
understand statements in one reading,
rather than hy saying them over and
over, like a parrot. 1 should hs more
thorough, not passing to one lesson un
til I had mastered the last, and I should
be ashamed of poor spelling or illegible
handwriting or faulty pronunciation.
I should he more scrupulous about
making and keeping engagements; I
should he less daunted hy obstacles and
defeat, ami he less, 1 hope, the slave of
petty hut annoying habits.
These things 1 should ilo if I were a
girl again. But suppose I have passed
my girlhood! Suppose I am thirty
Still, shall I not at fifty wish that I
could retrieve the past twenty years?
Should 1 not employ them differeutly ?
Again, say I am fifty. At seventy
could I not better u-e those precious
years of preparation ? There is always
a golden age, soon to he behind us,
which at every period of our life is he

is still today. So wo may all take

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U S. Gov’t Report
Absolutely pure
Dan DWtn’t Drink.
Somebody asked Secretary Lament
to take a drink the o,her day. Before
the colouel could reply somebody else
told this story :
“That makes me think of the last
time I heard Borne one give the colouel
the same invitation. It was during
Cleveland’s first term The Presiden
tial party was in St. Louis reviewing
the parade. It was a cold, blustering
day, the iort of weather which makes
one draw himself up into the smallest
possible space. Gov. Francis, who
was doing the honors, looked at the
President standing stoically in the face
of the wind while the parade went hy.
Going to (lolonel I.amont the Govern
or said :
“ ‘Colonel, do you eh—eh—think it
would—it would be right to ask the
President t» eh—to take a drink—eh of
whiskey ? Pretty cold, you know, and
it would do him good.’
‘“Ask him to take a drink 1* La
rnont exclaimed ‘Good Heavens,
man ! do you mean to say that you have
been with the President twenty four
hours and haven’t asked him to take »
drink ?’
“The Governor looked somewhat
surprised, hut at the same time relieved,
admitted his guilt, and stepping to the
President, said :
“‘Mr. President.’
The President, turning around, looked
at him straight ill the eye, which seem
ed to take the sand out of the Govern
or, who, blushing and stammering like
a young man about to propose to his
sweetheart, said :
r *Fh, Mr. President, do you know
that it is very cold today—eh—
I thought that maybe, just by way of a
preventive you know, that possibly you
might think it wise to tako a small
drink
*,O “■‘\Vhera i4 f it > ?’»4li* President in a
k * ,u:ju«ier asked.
“ ‘RightThiAway,' said Gov. Fran
c’s, and beckoning at the same time to
Lamont and the Mayor, ho led the par
ty to a room which contained a , table
on which were four glasses half filled
with whiskey. The President looked
at the glasses and said to Gov. Frauds :
“ ‘Who are these for ?’
“‘Why, oue, Mr. President, is for
you, one for < 'ol. Lamont, one for the
Mayor and one for myself.’
“The President took up one glass
and emptied its contents into another.
Setting down the empty glass he raised
Lite filled ono carefully to his lips, and
looking at the liquor with an expression
of sweet anticipation, said, just before
emptying the glass: ‘Dan dou't
drink.’ ’’—Chicago Times.

(/»Vom the Detroit Sun.)
The large, pretentious brick residence r.t
8d Miami avenue, in this city, is the home
of the heroine of this interesting story.
Bhe is Miss Margaret Htenhaugh, and her
experiences daring the past four years aro
published here for the first time.
Miss Stenhaugh is a pretty girl of about
20 years and is to-day the true picture of
the ideal, healthy, robust and jovial Ameri
can girl. Bhe was not always so, as is
proven by tha accompanying statement
made by her.
“ Four years ago,” she said, I was such a
scrawny, puny little midget, pale and ema
ciated by an ailment peculiar to us women,
that mv father and mother gave me up to
die. The local practitioner, whose nam«
was i)r. Glassford, (I was at that time living
at Scotland, Out.,) said it was only a matter
of days when I would be laid away in the
churchyard. “I could not walk. I became
so weak, and regularly every night my
father used to carry me up stairs to my
room. I can distinctly remember my tell
ing him that he wouldn't have to carry ine
about much longer, and how he said, while
the tears glistened in hia even, that he
would lie willing to do it always, if he
could only have me with him.
“ At this time, i read, or was told by some
body, of the wonderful cures that were being
wrought by I)r. Williams’ Dink Dills for
Dale People, and my father went to Brant
ford, where be purchased a couple of boiee
from W. Wallace. I commenced taking
them, and I thought for a time that they did
me no good, but very shortly I noticed a great
change. They began to act on my trouble,
arid in the short space of six weeks I was
able to walk. I continued taking the pills,
and in six months I was in the condition
you see me now. I fully believe that they
alone iv>'d ine from the grave, and you will
always find myself and the balance of our
family ready to talk about the good Dr.
Williams’ Dink Pills did for me."

I lie bluster that is being made over
tho proposal for'_ the relief of the ne
groes in the South reminds us of a talk
we-had with a negro from Louisiana
some months ago. This negro had
participated in the famous exodus
which boomed and fizzled a number of
years ago His experience illustrates
very fairly, we think, the sentiment of
the average Southern negro towards
the whites of that section. “I had a
little money left when f had been in
Kansas six months, an’ I was so lone
some that I made up ray mind to git
back to Gawd’s own kentry as quick as
f could. Kansas may be good enough
for white folks, but it ain’t no place for
this nigger. So I rode on tho railroad
as fur as they’d let m->, and then I
started out to walk the rest of the way,
an’ I kep’ sayin to myself all the time :
‘Wonder how fur ’tis to Gawd’s own
kentry?’ 1 was jus’ that lonesome,
boss, that I mos‘ died. Long about
noon I’d come to a house. Mabbe they
had a dorg there. I stood in the road
*od hollered. A man would come to
the do’ of the house and holler back.
Then I’d ask him could I get soraefln
to eat there. ‘Has you got any money,
sir?’ ‘Yes, a little,’ says I, an’ he’d
tell me to come in. ‘Wife,’ says he to
the white lady, ‘cook the colored gen’*
man a meal of victuals,’ an’ shore 'nuff
the white lady would fly arouud an’ get
a fine breakfaa’. Hut, fo’ the Lawd,
boss, f couldn’t eat a bite with them
white folks waitin’ on tee— I was too
shamed. White folks got no business
waitin’ on niggers So I’d pay my
money an’ keep on walkin’, wishin’ all
the time I was back in Gawd’s own
>kentryrsaui wbpdWtft’ if.T’d paver get
there agin.* ' ‘
“I kep’ on walkin’ an’ walkin’. One
day I come to a little house that stood
back iu a clearin’. Seven yaller dorgs
come round the corner an’ barked when
f hollered ‘Hullo.’ It looked so nat’ral,
say I. Unless I be rnistooken, this is
Gawd's own ksntry, hut I kep' on hol
lerin’ an’ ther dorgs kep’ on barkin’,
liimeby a gen’man come out’n the*
house ‘What you want, you dam black
nigger?’ says the gen'man. ‘Sho’
enough, this is Gawd’s own kentry at
las’ !’ says f, ‘Boss, I’se so hungry I
kin’ jes’ move.’ ‘Go out to that wood
pile an’ chop some wood,’ says he, ‘an’
I'll fetch you sumfiu’. Seemed pow
erful good to be choppin’ wood again.
ISimuby out comes the gen’man an’
hands me a pan of victuals. ‘Hy’ar,
you dam aigger, eat dem victuals, au’
then finish yo’ choppin’.’
“lioss, I was so glad to set on that
woodpile an’ eat my dinner without no
white folks standiu’ round watchin’ me
an’ waitin' on me. You never seen a
nigger eat as I done eat! That night
the gen’man says, ‘Hy’ar, yon dam nig
ger, go out and make yo’self a shake
down iu the stable an’ sleep there !’
“Ross, I was so glad to get back to
Gawd's owu kentry an ’ to he treated
like a plain nigger once mo’ dut I staid
with that gan'man an’ bis family all
winter. No mo’ ex'dus for ibis nigger
—Gawd’s owu keniry is good ’nough
for me !”—Chicago Record.
