T!k’ old fitiniliar ye nr li\h Sown
Into the dusky past;
But all the shadows it has east
Upon my heart remain mv own,
A idle sad sweet pictures memory Brings
Of guide* joys 1 can’t forget,
Of friends I used to know.
It seems so short—one year ago—
Ere all the dreams 1 nOw regiet
Had tied on Time’s resistless wings
And 1 awoke to pain.
Our lives are reckoned not by years,
Nor yet by day or hour,
But measured liy the secret power
Of joy and woe, of smiles and tears.
Some days seem endless in their grief—
Without a hope or trace of light,
And sorrow lends to make us old,
Though dross will often change to gold
Beneath its fire. The sunshine Bright
Wo could not prize as sweet relief
Were there no days of pain.
Taking the Lesson.
VV e have had several farmers to say
to us that they have been thoroughly
couviuced now that the price of cotton
is solely controled By the amount pro
duced, and that they are fully deter
mined to raise the staple in the future
only as a surplus crop, growing only
what they cau after raising a sufficien
cy of food crops to meet their uecessi
ties.
There is now clearly no reasonable
excuse that can be made for the pro
duction of large crops of the staple to
the exclusion of food crops. It has
been demonstrated both in theory and
practice, and quite forcibly withiu the
past few years, that such methods have
beeu and will continue to be, if they
are followed, the ruination of the far
mers in the cotton belt. We have seen
large crops and small crops produced
amidst almost all conditions in our gov
ernmental affairs that could be claimed
to have bearings upon prices, and we
have seen nothing else but size or the
reported size of the crops have any ma
terial effect upon the markets. We
have depended upon this and that poli
cy in the conduct of the nation’s affairs
to bring about high figures for the sta
ple, oniy to meet with disappointment;
ISM it does seem that our farmers
should have reached a point of con vie
tion that it is entirely with them lo
make the production of the staple a
remunerative or a iosiug business. We
b.-lieve a large portion of them have
reached this point and will be guided
in future hy the lessou they Lave beeu
taught in the school of experience.
The greatest trouble now lies in the
tendency of our farmers to let their
brother planters do all the reducing of
the acreage in cotton while they plant
largely and reap great benefits from
the benefits of the reduction. Iu this
too we believe they have been taught a
lesson. They are coming to realize
that each and every one must do his
part on this line; that each must act
as if the whole responsibility rested on
him and it mattered not what his neigh
bor farmer' did. When this realization
becomes general and is acted upon,
then will we see the cottou crop only
so large as it should be—just what the
farmers cau produce as a surplus crop
and uo more. Then fair prices for the
staple will prevail and our planters will
find their avocation to be a profitable
one. At any rate, the leaven of the
lessons taught is beginning to work.
It may be some time yet before it per
meates the whole loaf, yet it will, and
the cotton belt will again get in the
high road to that affluence and inde
pendence which it once enjoyed, and
which rightfully belongs to it.—Ogle
thorpe Echo.
Poisons engendered by food ferment
ing iu a dyspeptic stamach are the di
rect cuse of rheumatism, gout, bronchi

pneumonia and many nervous ailments.
These results are prevented bv the

following address to his old Confeder

less join him in his patriotic work:
Headquarters Georgia Division U.
C. V'.— l o .Vly Confederate Comrades
in Georgia: The great annual conven
tion and reunion of nearly nine hun
dred camps of United Confederate Vet
erans has been duly arranged to be
held at Nashville, Tenn., during the
Centennial Exposition of that state on
the oth, Gth and 7th of May next.
This reunion will be one of the most
important and will attract the largest
body of Confederates, with their sons
and daughters, that has assembled since
the war. Georgia must and will have
a large delegation, and this appeal is
made to you to make arrangements for
your camps aud counties without delay.
It is therefore, urged:
1 st. That each camp commander call
his camp together, through his local
papers to meet ou the 19th of January,
Lee’s birthday, or not later than the
first Tuesday of February next, and be
giu at once to enroll the names of all
Confederates in the county who will go
to the reunion. Also appoint a stand
ing committee of arrangements, and ei
ther then or at a later date elect the
delegates from th« camp. Command
ers and camp officers are particularly
urged to give this circular their im
mediate attention.
2d. As there are several counties
where no camp has been formed and
numbered with the geueral association,
a special effort must be made at once
by Confederate soldies iu such couuties
to organize a camp of at least ten mem
bers. A meeting for that purpose
should bo called for January 10, or the
first Tuesday in February, or other
early date. All papers necessary to
form a camp will bo forwarded from
these headquarters upon application by
mail from any Confederate soldier.
Comrades ! Let us unite in the spir
it of that sacred comradeship we all
feel Let U 8 show our own
tion of the high character of the true
Confederate soldier by a warm hearted
fraternity. Let Georgia Confederates
meet their comrades of other states,
and march with flags and banners iu a
strong, enthusiastic, well organized
body in the great columns which will
be formed next May at Nashville.
Newspapers are respectfully request
ed to do us an appreciated kinduess by
publ’shing this circular.

The Best Way To Cure
Disease is Jo establish health. Pure,
rich blood means good health. Hood’s
‘sarsaparilla is the One True Blood
I’urifier. It tones up the whole system,
gives appetite and strength and causes
weakness, nervousness aud pain to dis
appear. No other medicine has such
a record of woudeiful cures as Hood’s
Saisaparilla.
Hood’s Pills are the best after din
ner pill; assists digestion, prevent con
stipation. 2oc.
A Terrible Poor Shot.
Little George was going to bed. He
had been down to Coney Island all day
and felt very much fatigued. He
knelt down to say bis prayers: “Our
Father who are iu heaven,” he began
and then gave out. “Please, dear
Father, ’scuse Georgia from saying the
rest. He’s awful tired.”
Auother little Brooklyn boy was sit
ting on his stoop when his mother
heard stones rattling on the sidewalk.
She ran to the door just in time to see a
boy of about twelve aiming a stone at
her little son. Quickly remonstrating,
she received a rude reply from the
older fellow; but the little fellow who
sat still, apparently unconcerned, inter
posed, Don’t be afraid, mamma; I’m
not. He’s a terrible poor shot.” New
York Times.
Exposure to Disease
Does not necessarily mean the contrac
tion of disease provided the system is
in a vigorous condition, with the blood
pure and all the organs in healthy ac
tion. When in such a condition con
tagion is readily resisted and the dig
ease germs can find no lodgmeut-
Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the best medicine
to build up the system because it makes
pure, rich blood, aud pare blood is the
basis of good health. Iu cold weather
it is especially necessary to keep up
the health toue because the body is
subject to greater exposure and more
liable to disease. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
is the safeguard of health.
Aud here comes a brother editor who
alleges that a condemned man just be
fore being electrocuted at Sing Sing,
New York, exclaimed, “I am goiug to
I dynamo.”
An Awful Truth.
“If a man succeeds in assassinating
half of *he members of a family, his
: safety lies not in flight, but in surren
dering to the officers of the law. It is
the earliest arid most inviting avenue
of escape.”
We clip the above terse paragraph
from an editorial in Saturday’s Consti
stitution. Now for a powerful paper,
with a circulation whose limits is
bouuded only by the lines of civilization
to make the above unqualified state
ment is a more serious matter than one
would tlnuk at first glance. The
truth of the assertion makes it the more
appalling. Has the most potent safe
guard of sccity become so perversed
until the machinery of the law is noth
ing more than a protection to demons,
who are permitted to represent their
prototype, the devil, on this earth for
a season's sympathy. Fora man whose
black heart is so void of mercy as to
cut down without warning, an immor
tal soul and send it plunging into eter
nity implies that his sympathizers do
not consider that a very bad thing for
one to do. Ask the neglected orphans
aud the bleeding heart of the lonely
wife, if it was a good hearted man who
despoiled their home and changed the
peals of merry laughter iuto floods of
bitter tears. Will the Bar Association
let the above sentence remain unchal
lenged? But, in Suuday'a Constitution
we are told that it has been suggested
“that there are loop holes in the stat
utes, and that it is the duty of lawyers
who are retained to defend the felons
to take advantage of every weakness of
the law.” Then whose busiuess is it
to mend the loop-hole? Clearly those
who know it is there. It is possible
that those who have made the law their
special study consider it their duty to
defeat justice, because they know of a
weak place and they are bound to take
advantage of it? We don’t see how a
man who has sworn to defend the con
stitution and the laws of this country
cau take this position. The true spirit
of the true lawyer is to see the law eq>-
forced, aud to work to perfect that law
So long as such sentiment as is contain
taiued iu the above quotation can tloa 1

terraost parts of the globe unchallenged
aud undeniable we may expect lynching

And it came to pass as a certain man
journeyed from the c»dle to the grave,
fell among salooukeejtrs, who roboed
him of • his money, (mined his good
name, destroyed his rpson, and then
kicked him out worse than dead. A
moderate drinker cam that way, and
whenhe saw him he aid: “He is hut a
dog; they served him ght. Let him die;
he is a curse to his fnily.” And also
a license voter came that way, and
when he saw him, he said: “The
brute! Put a ball ail chain on his leg
aud work him on theitreets.” And a
fanatic teetotaler can that way, aud
when he saw him, hi had compassion
on him, and raised lim up, assisted
him to his home, and ninistered to his
wants and to the wa s of his family;
got him to sign the pdge, aud staited
him on his journey i comfort and hap

llow Georgia Spent Christmas.
Ihe appalliug crimiual record for
Christmas week in Georgia has caused
any amount.of commeut. The reports
from December 2(i:h to December 29th
inclusive show uo less than twenty
| homicides, many of them being cold
j blooded murders, and the great majori
ty of them growing out of drinking of
whisky 'fliers were also numerous
bloody fights; which, however, are not
taken into consideration.
The Savaunah Morning Newsattrib
utes it all to whisky drinking and pistol
totiug, and says:
“It was asad Christmas for hundreds
of Georgians because of whisky and
pistols. The homicides reported—there
may be others yet to be heard from—
occured iu Atlanta. Augusta, Black
shear, Columbus, Claxton, Dawson,
Dublin, LaGrauge, Rhine, Ilopersville,
Savannah, Sparks, Talbotton aud
Woodherry. In Savannah there were
three homicides, iu Talbotton a man
killed his wife aud mother-in-law, in
Columbus there was a homicide ou
Christmas eve aud another on Christ
mas day, aud at VVoodberry three
druukeu toughs killed a constable who
was trying to euforce the law. In al
most every instance it was whisky and
pistols, as said above.”
Why should we celebrate the birth
of a Savior by hoirible butcheries aud
druukeuuess? Surely if there is a
a time to kill this is not the sea
sou fur it. Its observance should he
msrked by a geueral rally around the
Christmas tree, the reunion of families
and the enjoyment of all the delights of
the home fireside. Instead of peace
and good will the day has been convert
ed iolo an era of drunken broils and
crimes which are a disgrace to an en
lightened and Christian land. “Glory
to God iu the highest, aud on earth
peace, good will toward men,” was the
blessed authetn sung by the heavenly
augelsto the shepherds on the day Christ
born, and the same spirit should be
maddest until this day.
New features are being continually
added to Frank Leslie’s Popular

the coming year will show an even
more marked improvement in its char

year.
Mr. McKinley's mother concludes an
account of the “raising” of her boy
wiih this sensible ntterauce: “After
all, I don't believe I did raise a boy to
be President. I tried to bring up a
boy to be a good man, and that’s the
best that any mother can do. The first
thing I knew, my son turned around
and begau to raise me, to bo the moth
er of a President.”
Georgia contributes annually to the
pension fund $4,000,000 and draws out
$584,000. With cotton at 7 cents
Georgia must give away 100,000 bales
for pensions. To pay her share of the
pension list the south must raise about
#30,000 bales of cotton for which she
gets nothing. This is about 7 per
cent of a good crop.

A STRAIGHT CO HUNK.
Pointed Out to Those Who Have Ca
tarrh in Any Form.
You have got chronic catarrh, liavo
you? You have had it some time?
and could not find a cure? Well, there
are thousands more like you in this
country. If the slightest vestage of
the catarrh remains over during the
hot weathor it will begin to make itself
felt now. If you want to really get
cured this is the way to do it. Get a
bottle of Pe-ru-na and ta'- e a table
spoonful before each meal and at bod
time. When you have continued this
for thirty days sit down and write a
letter to Dr. Hartman, Columbus, O.
I’ell him exactly your symptoms; how
long you have had catarrh; what effect
the medicine ha« had on you. He will
answer your letter promptly, telling
you what to do further. Ho will make
uo charge. And if you will contiuue
to write to the Doctor, following faith
fully the advice he will give you, you
are sure to get cured. Some cases
take longer than others. Perhaps the
average length of time it takes to cure
a genuine case of catarrh is three
months Some get cured much quicker
than this. Stubborn cases may ro
quire longer treatment. Time or trou
ble ought to be no barrier to one afflict
ed with this dreadful disease.
All people who are interested in
knowing about catarrh can get an in
structively illustrated (i-1 page book on
chronic catarrh in all stages and loca
tion, free of charge. The book was
written by Dr. Hartman and will be
sent fora short time to any address by

The fas- yf
tfrMXESS;
Tho Old Fashioned Yam.
'lbe Chronicle's ventilation of tho
disappearance of the old fashioned su
gar yam sweet potato has attracted
wide attention and provoked much
comment. Mr. Jumes l’arrett says
that he has for many years raised these
incomparable tubers on his plantation
in Burke county, but kuows of none in
Richmond. Mr. Barrett explains the
disappearance of the Georgia sugar
yam by the fact that other varieties are
more prolific and bring as much mouey
in tho market. VY bile fifty bushels is
a good yield of sugar yams per acre, a
farmer can raise several hundred bush
els of the other varieties on tho same
land, and while they do not compare in
sugar richness with the old sugar yam,
they bring just as much mouey per
bushel in the market. As the farmer
is raisiug potatoes to sell, lie naturally
produces those which pay him from
four to eight times as much money.
If epicures only knew the difference,
however, we think they would he wil
ling to pay more for for the original
sugar yam, the imprisoned sweetness of
which, liberated by the heat, exudes
through the skiu aud trickles in syrup
down the out side as it cooks. The
country hoy who has reveled in the
delights of genuine sugar yams and
| buttermilk has recollections of a day
tliat is dead, and which the overgrown,
mealy potatoes of this money-seeking
generation cannot bring back.—Augus

Decidedly cue of the most important
and radical measures passed at the re
cent session of the Georgia legislature
is the anti trust law introduced by Mr.
Calvin, of Richmond. The bill seeks
to prohibit any combination, trust or
arrangement by which full competition
in the manufacture or sale of any com
modity is prevented. If it can do this
it is, unquestionably, a valuable law.

New AutMJigarette Tactics.
Legislation against cigarettes has so
far proven a farce. The law in Geor
gia forbidding their sale to minors
might as well be on the statute books
of Japan so far as its practical effect
heie is concerned.
The minors who smoked cigarettes
before this law was enacted smoke them
that is all of said roiuors who are
not d. ad—aud the number of cigarette
smokers, old and young, in Georgia, is
greater uow than ever before.
I hey went further in lowa thau we
did, and prohibited the rale of cigar
ettes eutirely, but they are still sold as
freely as over.
Ify the “orignal package” evasion
dealers claim protection under the rights
of interstate commerce and continue to
sell “coflin tacks” in the shape of dirty
tobacco wrapped in moan paper to all
who care to buv.
Ihe ( hnaha board of education has
adopted a new line of attack on the
cigarette and one which, we believe,
will prove more effective than the ef
forts of the anti cigarette statesmen in
several of our legislatures.
Ihe Omaha board has asked the
boys in the public schools to sign a
pledge not to smoke or chew during
school hours. It is entirely optioual
with the boys whether they give this
pledge or not and any boy who does so
may be released from it on hie personal
request.
A great majority of the Omaha
school boys have taken the pledge and
very few have asked to be released.
The moral suasion that is being tried

I he Self-Reliant Farmer.
The disposition to wait for the state
or national government to do something
for him has been one of the besetting
sins of the farmer aud the sooner he
becomes absolutely self reliant the
sooner will he bocome prosperous and
happy.
Legislation of itself can never make
him rich, and before laws can affect his
profits, he must see to it that he has a
surplus to ho affected. He must exercise
iu his business the same intelligent fore
thought and good management, the
same industry and economy, which are
essential to success in other lines of
business.
It has been said that in order to
prospor, rules as old as Adam must
govern him; he must muke more than
he uses, and sell more than he buys,
his farm must be bis hank and he must
not overdraw his account.
He ought to nurse his farm like he
does his baby, takiug a just pride in its
excellence, helping up the weak places,
smoothing down the rough, increasing
its productiveness year by year, making
the “two blades of grass grow where
only one grew before.” Presidents
and governors and coDgtesses cannot
do these things for us any more than
legislation can maKe us rich—aud no
| nmn is rich who is not contented, and
| no man can be contented who allows his
wants to outrun his means.—Augusta
Herald.
