Birthday Dinner.

1 pleasant party of old people Mrs
.Julia K. Fargasou bad arrived at tin
tilth mile stone on her earthly pilgrim
iSfe and the day was celebrated by giv
ino a birth day dinner, f Her mother.
Mrs. X nicy A .Tamos, aged 80, was
present and displayed as much spry
net,!, as a sixteen year old girl. The
dinner was cooked 4nd served by
Grandma dames' oldtjoi grand daugh
ter, .Mis. VI. d. Marhews, assisted by
iwo of iier great grand daughters,
Mii-sns Nannie Harper and .Julia Bla
lock. Grandma darn s ; s as iudustrious
is she was in days Jong ago and many
articles of household furniture, recently
made, were placed on exhibition at
testing the work ot her busy fingers
She has a tray 70 years old, is still
used by her oldest grand daughter. A
sufficient quantity 'of dough lias passed
through that tray to feed the Japauese
army. She has a pair of andirons that
have been constantly in use 80 years,
and a candlestick that was manufac
tured in England before George I come
in possession of the English crown. It
i; more than probable that it was used
in the pa'aees of English sovereigns.

A Happy Home.
On a hill in Butts county is a com
fortable house. Around that house the
crowing cocks aud cackling geese min
gle their voices with the “potrack” of
the guineas, while the lowing cows
coming home at milking time attracts
the attention of the laughing children
who have been listening at mamma sing
“Rock of Ages Cleft for Me,” while
the sewing machine kept time to the
tune. The rattling chains from the
horses’ necks frighten the lazy dogs
from their bed as they approach a lot
in which there is corn aud provender to
spare. The home is self sustaining
aud no mortgage has ever known its
whereabouts ; no sheriff has ever crossed
its threshold. The faithful wife and
manly husband love to work aud con
sider it honorable. They are more
concerned as to the time to rob the bees
than when congress shall meet. They
know no sovereign save God, and to
please each other. Oh, happy, con
tented people ! Yours is indeed a hap
py home.—Jackson Argus.
The Shakers have made a great hit.
Their Digestive Cordial is said to be
the most successful remedy for stomach
troubles ever introduced. It immedi
ately relieves all pain and distress after
eating, builds up the feeble system and
mak-s th? weak strong
The fact is, foods properly digested
are better than so-called tonics. The
cordial not ouly contains food already
digested, but is a digester of other
foods. Food that is not digested does
more harm than good. People who
use the Cordial insure the digestion of
whu' food they eat%aud iu this way get
the benefit of it and grow strong.
Tiie little pamphlets which the Sha
kera have sent druggists for free dis
tributiou. contain much interesting in
formation on the subject of dyspepsia.
Laxol is not a mixture of drugs. It
is nothing but Castor Oil made palata

■ When Death is Near.
Pres'on King, in The Medical Mag
aziue, gives a very interesting account
of a personal experience of pneumonia,
in the course of which he tells how he
felt when death seemed near :
“VV !i a we u-e well, we think with a
dread of doatli. Hut when blackness
comes and the end is very near, then
all that dread seems gone, and though
perfect consciousness remains there is
no tear of death, none of that chill
dread t o used to kuow ; merely a
peaceful, tired feeling. We long for
rest: we only want sleep. VVe are
sorry to be leaving tlnse who we love,
not for any selfish reasons, hut because
tvo ktio.v .iiat they will miss us aud will
. rieve when wo are gono ; for ourselves
we do m* mtud ; we only want rest.
1 here is no fear, ODly I wanted rest,
and that rest I surely soon should fiud
iu the high black wall ol mist 1 seemed
to see before me, toward which I was
slowly drifting, and which was also
coming on to meet me, and soon J
thought it would envelop me and wrap
me round and ail be dark. That wall
came very near, and then 1 seemed to
think : “My doctors have not told me
I am dying, and he who has is wrong.
lam uot dying !” And so 1 turned
my head away aud slept, and when 1
woke the wall had vanished and the
worst was past.”
At one period of his illness Dr. Pres
ton King could not sleep and spent a
night of nameless horror. Kis brain
was in a wild whirl, his room full of
s'-aduwy forms jeering and gibing at
him. Again : “At one time my room
became i vast and low roofed church,
and from the far off chancel, and
through the dimly lighted aiales, I saw
my nurse approaching. I could see
the Go;hie arches, and the painted
windows, and the urns and monuments
to those long dead, and to my fancy it
seemed that this old church reached
‘ar away behind me, where I could not
see, but still 1 knew that it was there,
for ] could smell the damp sepulcher
air, and feel the chilling wind that blew
among the tombs.” Ueferriug to the
period of convalescence, Dr. Preston
King says it was almost worth being
ill for tlie pleasure of getting well
again.

aids the process of assimilation, cures
nervous troubles, and invigorates and

Nervous prostration is also cured by

For Rheumatism, Malaria aud Sy

remedy.
VV. H. Wilder, Mayor of Albany,
Ga., says he has suffered with Rheuma
tism for fifteen years, and in that time
he tried all the so called specifics, but
to no purpose. His grandson, who
was on the B. & W. Railroad, finally
got him a bottle of P. P. P. The first
bottle of P. P. P. showed its remarka
ble effects, and after using a short time
the rheumatism disappeared, and he
writes he feels like a new man, and
takes pleasure in recommending it to
rheumatism sufferers.

Most Perfect Made-
Organizing Farmer's Institutes.
Professor J. B. Huunicutt, who oc
cupies the chair of agriculture iu the
State College of Agi|culture aud Me*
chauical Arts, has started on a tour cf
several weeks through Georgia in the
interest of the farmer's institute.
He goes first to win re
he will attend the meetiug of the iusti
tute at that place, wlfch is in a thri
ving condition and (Ming good among
the farmers who belong to it and at
teud its sessions. Prpfessor ilunnicutt
will lecture at this meeting. From there
he will go to aud then to
Newuan and at theseYilaces he will de
liver lectures before the farmers.
Theu Professor Huunicutt will be
joined by Dr. H. C.oiWhite, president
of the State college, J|d they will at
teud the session of thl State Agricultu
ral Society. Then tfey will start to
work organizing new. institutes. The
first one will be organized at Waynes
boro and then one at S|tiider«villH. The
entire programme lias not yet been
made out, but before Biey return home
they intend organizing at least six new
institutes.
The Farmers’ Institute is an organi
zation originated by those two gentle
men and fostered and ( eucouraged by
the State College of Agriculture and
Mechauic Arts, located at Athens.
The idea is to get a ntftnber of farmers
to organize into a body that holds reg
ular sessions once a mt|ith for the pur
pose of exchanging i£eas, discussing
methods of farming an 4 posting them
selves on everything necessary to their
calling in life. It found that
this work results in gteat benefit to
the farmers who, through exchange of
ideas and listening to ftetures by good
agriculturalists, learn fiany things of
benefit to them.
Since this movemeut'iwas started iu
Georgia a number of {institutes have
been organized aud in «very instance
good has resulted. The one crop idea
has disappeared; the diversifying of
crops has taken its [dace; the intensive
system of farming has hlen brought to
the front and more prowteiity has come
upon the farmers who '•jkYe given their
attention and study to the Farmers’ In
stitute work. Professors White and
Hunnicutt will be gone about three
weeks on this trip.

“Drunkard Joe.”
Waycross, Aug. 15.—“ Joe the drunk
ard,” a middle aged white man, from
down in the vicinity of the Oke.'inokee
swamp, was on the streets here yester
day, hatless and shoeless, aud with bis
customary jag on.
This is not saying that Joe was
drunk, as he was never known to drink
anything iu the nature of an intoxicant.
He does not have to drink to put on a
jag, as he appears to be drunk ever
since ho was a child. It is a natural
deformity, aud Joe is not responsible
for it. He staggers badly and walks
on his toes but his heels never touch
the ground while he is walking.
He seem 9 to be falling and his face
nearly touches tbe ground when he
walks. He walks a few yards aud then
staggers to either side of the ptreet.
His name Joe Mixelle, but he is always
known as “Drunkard Joe.” lie does
not wear shoes at all. His mind seems
to be affected by his malady. He is
not regarded as a dangerous man.

“hlio's lilt Again.”
At a small railway station in the
hilly part of Alabama, a man carrying
a carpet bag ami accompanied by his
wife boarued a train, says an exchange.
They took the first seat, the old lady
next to the window. It was apparent
that this was their first railway jour
ney. The traiu started and they both
looked eagerly from the window, and,
as the speed increased, a look of keen
est auxiety gathered on the old lady’s
face. She grasped her husband’s arm
and said in a voice plainly audible
above the roar to those about her:
“Joel wo be goin’ awful quick. I
know ’taint, safe.” A few minutes la
ter the train rati on to a long trestle.
With a Hide shriek of terror the old
lady sprang to her feet and seized the
back of the seat in front of her. There
she stood, trembling from head to foot,
staring float the window. Meantime
the train sped onward and was once
more ou solid earth. The old lady
was quick to note the change. Her
features relaxed and she sank into her
seat with the fervent exclamation :
“Thank goodness, she’s hit again !”
When sifted thoroughly, the credit
system is at the bottom of every finan
cial disaster. Wholesalers borrow from
the hanks and sell goods on time to
the retailer, who in turn sells on credit
to the consum-r. The consumer buys
so liberally that he cannot pay the re'
tailor, and the retailer cannot pay the
wholesaler, and the wholesaler cannot
pay his banker, the hank fails and de
positors can’t get their money—confi
dence takes wings; those who have
money will not spend it; there is no
work, and no market, and this is a pan
ic. “Cash up and no grumbling”
should be a universal motto. If every
man wou’d pay spot cash for what he
buys, there couM he no loss of confi
dence, no locking up of money and no
panic. Everything would be lovely,
no matter bow the goose hangs.— Amor

Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gov’t Report
Absolutely pure
Klectrlelty aa a Motive Tower.
It is believed that at no distant day
the use of steam for locomotiou will be
discarded by the railroads. Scientists
are busily engaged in perfecting the
electric locomotive aud it is only a mat
lor of a short time when the steam lo
comotive will give place to its powerful
rival—the electric engine. When this
is accomplished we will have better and
laster transportation facilities. The
Baltimore & Ohio railroad has an elec
tric engine running on its tracks suc
cessfully, while a good many of the
great roads of the north are making
experiments with this new force.
I’he speed to be obtained by those
new engines is almost unlimited -from
100 to 500 miles an hour would bo
possible but of course not practicable.
A speed of eighty miles\ an hour has
been obtained and this has proven very
satisfactory.
In the course of a very few years wo
expect to see electricity used on our
roads with better and more sal isfactiry
results in every respoct. The great
reason why tlies« engine# will be used
is because they are much cheeper aud
can be run at a much loss cost than
the ordiuary steam locomotive.
What The South Can Do.
It is evident that tho Sou'll has
at hand, and therefore cheap, all the
raw material entering iuto manufactures
that its labor aud cost of living are
cheapor than at the North; that it can,
iu coustquuuee, manufacture goods ol
all kinds at less cost than the North or
West; that it can not only supply the
home demand, but also export goods
with profit; that in the fitter lines of
manufactures it is extending its opera
tions with success. With all these ad
vantages on its side the fault will he
with the South if it fails to reach out
its hands and take what nature has so
kindly offered.—North American Re
view.
The person who was asked to point
out the most popular hook of last year
based on the circulation of copies would
hardly ho likely to hit upon the right
answer. It is uot to “Trilby,” the
graceful, nor the brave “Gentleman of
France,” nor the “Prison of Zettda,”
nor Coin's Financial School,” nor
“Merrie England,” nor any of the books
of the day that hold the record. All
these, with their 25,000 aud 50,000 aud
100,000 of circulation, are far in the
tear. The leader in books last year as
for all the years, was the Bible. The
report of the American Bible Society

A negro convicted of attempting the
outrage of a white girl iu Mitchell
county the other day was sentenced to
tweuty years iu the penitentiary. An
extra session of the superior court was
called for his trial, and in a half hour
after it convened the grand jury had
found a true bill, the negro plead guilty
and had been sentenced. Such prompt
ness of the courts is the best way to
suppress mob violence.- Fort Gaines

It has been remarked that after the

Helow wo give a clipping from the
Boston Heruld which shows how much
tlie Georgia peach is appreciated from
home.
The Herald says : “Now that the
season for Georgia poaches is nearly
over, it is right to say that the fruit
from that statu has given great satisfac
tion wherever it has been used. It has
been of good flavor, and has reached
the market in a satisfactory condition.
Last year the California peachos were
as fair, but those who bought them once
rarely made a second Tenturo. The
Georgia peaches, on the other hand,
have been worth buying, and next year
they will have the advantage of a
market where their merits are well
known.”
It seems that the Georgia peach is
much more in favor with the consumers
than the California fruit. In other
words Georgia sends the host fruit to
be found in the market. This is a sig
nificant fact and more of our people
should turn thoir attention to this new
iudustry. We can be sure of a success
ful crop every three years and this even
is far ahead of raising cotton. We will
be glad to see our citizens devoting
more attention to the crop.
NuMonttl Debt of the World.
The public debt of the United
States amounts to $27.74 per capita of
population. Russia’s rate is $30.78,
while that of Germany is 57.30. Next
comes Italy with $66.50, Austria-Hun
gary with sßs 79, England with $83.-
79. France comes up with an indebt
edness of $125.78 per capita and such
is the recuperative power of the French
people that this enormous debt is car
ried and is being discharged with com
parative ease.
Littlu more of conquest is left for the
bicycle. Even the wild redskin and
his fiery cayuse havo been subdued.
1 wo Indians on horseback wore cutting
up capers in Pendleton, Oregon, last
week, and broke several city ordi
nances in a tew minutes. Marshal
Means started to arrest them, and the
Indians put spurs to their horsea and
made for the prairie. The marshal ia
an expert bicyclist, and he mounted his
wheel, and, with one hand grasping the
handle and the other clutching his gun,
he put after the redskins. Before he
had reached the city limits he had
winged one, and a few hundred yards
further he caught up with the other,
and brought him back in triumph.
A Hall county man has made out
the following affidavit: “Georgia,
Hall county—Know all men by these
presents, that my wife has run away
from me for nothing and I baged hef
to stay and I uowtify the world that I
won’t be accountable for her contracts
doctors bills and no other bills, She*
lift about the first of May last this
August the 7, 1895 Elijah Reynolds
her name is Nancy and now is Riding
about in buggis with other men.’’
I have two new buggies of the newest
pattern for sale cheap. Come and see
them. Thos. D. Stewart.
Fifteen hundred cars of peaches
were shipped from Georgia this season
at an average of S4OO per car.
Some people are kickers because
they do uot have enough originality to
