MARY’S GROWN UP LAMB.
Mary had n Billie goal
With whiskers on his chin,
And when he (-cl his dander up
That goat could Butt like sin.
He followed her to church one day,
And walking down the aisle,
Assumed an uir of gravity
That made the people smile.
The sexton tried to drive him out,
Which raised old Billie’s ire,
He chewed his cud right viciously
And Both his eyes Hashed fire.
He stood upon his hinder legs
And fetched a mighty Bleat,
That to the sexton sounded like
The trumpet call of fate.
And then the congregation rose,
No time had they to lose,
For Billie kept the racket up
And cleaned out all the pews.
And then he took a header and
The sexton would have fled,
But Billie struck him in the rear
And stood him on his head.
The sexton called him evil names
in language harsh, and when
He used some epithets profane
The parson cried “Amen!”

Heavy Freeze May Kill all Fruit.
The chances are that there will be a
heavy freeze within the next fifteen
days and if such is the case the fruits
and floweis will be killed, says the
weather bureau report.
The records in the weather office
here show that for the past fourteen
years there has been a freeze in the
mouth of March ard as a general rule
it has come after the 15th of the month
and sometimes as late as the 30th.
The fruits all over Georgia are in
excellent condition at present aud the
indications are that this will be one of
the best fruit seasons that the south
has experienced in several years.
The continued warm weather with
rains has caused the flowers and the
fruit trees to begin to bud, and the
leaves are about to burst out in all
their glory. The flowers are blooming
and spiing seems to be at band.
Up to the 12th of this month, March
was 70 degrees warmer than the nor
mal. This is an av« age of about 6
degrees a day. It shows that March
has been an unusually warm month
and is father advanced than it should
he. As a rule, March has been a back
ward mouth and the records in the
weather office show as much.
In the year 1800, March was, on
the 12th day of this month, 123 de
grees colder than the normal. In 1891
the same month o:i the same day it
was 98 degrees colder than the nor
mal. In 1892 it was 35 degree, cold
er. In 1893 it was' 11 degrees warmer;
in 18G4, 107 degrees warmer; in 1895,
32 degrees colder, and in 1890, 19 de
grees colder than the normal.
This shows that for the past bix
years the month of March at this time
has, as a general rule, been below the
normal. Only twice out of six years
was it above the normal and in both
these years there was a heavy freeze
after the 15th.
The records in the local weather of
fice, which extend back as far as 1879,
show that ever since 1883 there has
been a freeze in the month of March,
during the latter portion of the month.
In 1890 the temperature went to 18
degrees on the 11th. In 1791 the
thermometer registered 23 degrees on
the 25th. In 1892 it was 17 degrees
on the 19th; in 1893, 27 degrees on
the 19th; in 1894, 19 degrees on the
27th; in 1795, 23 degrees on the 17th;
in 1896, 32 degrees on the 21st.
This record shows that there is ev
ery chance for a freeze, and though
the weather man does not predict it
there is every likelihood that it will
make its appearance in a short while
It seemß that the average time for
the freeze in March is about the 30th
day of the month. After this date it
is usually safe, because freezes seldom
come in April.
The lowest that the thermometer
has ever registered in the month of
April as far back as the records here
show, was 25 degrees on April 2, 1881.
The latest days on which a freeze
has ever occurred in April in the res
pective years are as follows:
1879, April 4th; 1881, April ath;
1886, April 7th; 1891, April 6th, for
three days; 1892, April 10th, with a
frost on the 12th. This shows -that
freezes have taken place in the month
of April only five times in the last
eighteen years. The chances, therefore
are that there will be no freeze in April
this year.
The fruits are so far advanced this
year that were a freeze to come within
the next few weeks it would almost
totally destroy the entire crop. The
spring like weather has caused the
trees to bud and a frost would ruin
i them.
McDonough, ga., Friday march 10, ihot.
Grover Cleveland.
As president of the United States,
Grover Cleveland has rendered this
country and the world great service.
His administrations came during troub
ious times, but no man ever feltdrouht
ful about the position which President
Cleveland would take, when the credit
or honor of this country was involved.
Everybody I new that while this mau
was the executive the ship of state
would be guided through safe and well
known channels. He was absolutely
unmoved when the wave of fanaticism
and criticism beat against him from the
disturbed and maddened waters of dis
content and jealousy and prejudice. If
friends forsook him, he let them go; if
enemies abused him, he heeded them
uot, but dared always to do that which
he considered was best and right.
President Cleveland was broad enough
and brave enough to recognize the
south as a part of the United States
and he deserves more than any other
mail for the restoration of the south to
its proper position in the government
of this country.
He was also broad enough to desire
peace with all natious of the earth, aud
fearless euough to assert the rights of
this government agaisnt the govern
ments of foreign countries.
We do not hope to soon see his like

Work of Tax Receiver,
The work of receiving tax on the
property owned by the people of this
state is oue of considerable import.
The the time has now arrived and
the 137 tax receivers will be kept busy.
This is a matter that has not been as
rigidly looked after as the people have
a right to expect.
The Macon Telegraph, on this line,
says:
“If these officials fearlessly perform
their duties under the law, insist upon
those making returns of property mak
ing oath to the correctness of their
statements; asking of each the questions
which the state requires shall be asked;
if they scan carefully each return and
where there is an apparent neglect to
return taxable property, or an under
valuation of such as is returned, prompt
ly raise the assessment to a figure, in
their judgement, more nearly what it
should be, thus securing a proper inves
tigation, there will be such au increase
in the assessed valuations in Georgia
with a corresponding decrease in the
tax rate as will amaze the state. If
in addition, the tax receivers require
the justices of the peace and freehold
ers to obey the law and report the
names of all those people who are lia
ble to taxation, which they are instruct
ed to report, aud from these lists get at
those who neglect this duty to the Btate,
there will be a further increase in the
tax digests and a further reduction in
tax rates.
Ignorance of the duties pertaining
to his office can in no case be pleaded
in extenuation of a failure to perform
them by a public servant. It is his
business to know what is required of
him. Particularly is this true of the
tax receivers in this state, for the
comptroller general is required to for
nish, and does furnish, each of these
officers minute instructions on every
point. It would be well for that offi
cial to call particular attention to the
penalties incurred by failure to follow
the law, and to put all on notice that
proper steps will be taken to enforce
these penalties wherever necessary.
The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
recently perfected an ingenious cure
for dyspepsia. Their Digestive Cor
dial consists of a food already digested
and a digester of foods happily com
bined.
The importance of this invention
will appreciated when we realize what
a proportion of the community are vic
tims of some form of stomach troubles.
Thousands of pale, thin people have
little inclination to eat, and what they
do eat causes them pain and distress.
This Digetive Cordial of the Shak
ers corrects any stomach derangement
at once. It makes thin people plump.
Every one will be greatly interested to

placed in the hands of druggists for free
distribution.

ON ANCIENT JACKSON.
Judge Hark ness Tell of Batts Coun
ty’s First Court.
One day last week while court was
in sessiou Tlio Times editor tackled
our venerable townsman, Judge Hark
ness, one among the oldest residents of
our couuty, for a short conversation on
things that have passed in bygone days
and are entirely unknown to the pres
ent generation.
“I)o you know,’’ replied Judge
Hatkness, “that I was present at the
first court ever held in Putts county.'"’
We replied, rather astonished, that
we did not, aud asked bim for the par.
ticulars.
“Well,” replied the Judge, as he
straightened himself out for a descrip
tion of it, “It was ‘way bock yonder in
the year 182 G, andit was organized in a
little log cabin by Governor McDon
aid, out beyond Captaiu Watsou’s place
on the Jenkinsburg road. Courts then
were widely different from those now,
but justice was meted out more satis
factorily, and they didn’t cost near so
much then as they do sow io hold
them. Why, there were cracks be
tween the logs of that court house that
you could push a dog through, but the
Judge sat back with as much dignity
and composure as if he had been sit
ting on the bench of a $75,000 court
house with all of the latest improve
ments.
“Do you know,” continued the Judge.
“I have been living within hollowiug
distance of the place where 1 was born
for the past 83 years? Well, it’s true
aud Jackson was then a big cane brake,
and there was no such thing as selling
laud. Why, you could take » cheap shot
gun then and swap it for 100 acres of
land and not half try, and land without
a spring on it couldn’t bo disposed of
at any price. Those were good gld
days, though,” coutinued the
gettiog enthused on the subject, “Why,
I graduated with a
book, a pair of palcliea mrlumrs*’* and
oue gallus, at au old log school house
with a dirt floor, out near where the
Barkley brothers are now living, and I
never felt stuck up a bit over it, and
was as proud of my learning as any
graduate that ever walked from the
portals of Jackson Institute. People
were simple but honest in those da}s,
and a man’s word for a debt then was
as good as a mortgage is now.”
We thought of what a change time
has wrought, and asked the Judge if
he would excuse us for a lew minutes
while we stepped across town to see if
we couldn’t collect a dollar on that
subscription account that a subscriber
of ours had promised to pay us last
fall—if he lived!—Jackson Times.
Scared Negroes Badly.
A genuine panic was created among
a number of Americus negroes near the
cemetery the other day, and it is ex
pected that several conversions will
follow. A dozen were washing clothes
and discussing religious topics, oblivi
ons of the fact that a circus balloon
was soaring high above them. Just
about the time they had agreed that
the end of the earth was near at hand
and the angel of Gabriel about due,
there was a terriffic Doise over head,
and with a roar the great pile of smok
ing canvas fell among them knocking
white linen right and left and envelop
ing several of the flock. The wildest
pan<c ensued, while prayers for mercy
and forgiveness, mixed wtth sundry
strange confessions, rent the air for
blocks around. It took the whole
neighborhood to restore tranquilty and
assure the frightened “angels” that the
time for flight to realms above had not
yet arrived.
The People are Convinced

cures by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. They

Sam Jones on Divorces,
Slowly but surely the churches and
preachers are co'ming to regard the di
vorce evil in its true light. So far di
vorces are sanctioned bv every church
except oue, and preachers do not hesi
tate to marry divorced persons in di
rect violation of the laws of God.
But a change is taking place. Every
now and then a minister of the gospel
with his miud on the divine law, re
fuses to officiate at such marriages aud
occasionally are brave euough to open
ly condemn the practice. Such a mau
is sam Jones, the evangelist, who, what
ever may be his peculiarities, manages
to tell some forcible truths. Aud he
uever told a greater truth than when
he said in his sermon iu Atlanta that
the bible is against divorces. Said the
great evangelist:
“The bible tells us that ‘whosoever
the Lord hath joiued together, let no
man put asunder.’ I don’t believe
there ever was a marriage that God
had made aud blessed that was followed
by an infernal divorce. A match that
God makes is not unmade. It’s the
devil’s gaug that’s getting the divorces.
(Amens.) When a young man and a
young woman love each other and go
to the minister and are joined together
in this sacred way, they become one ;
aud I say the most unpardonable sin
in this world is to deliberately tear
asunder a match like that. If any of
you women married a scoundrel you’d
better stick to him. If you married a
dog, you’d better stay with him. For
God’s sake don’t turn him loob-i on the
world to wreck and ruin some other
woman’s life. The legislature of near
ly every state are digging and cutting
at God’s laws on marriage, aud if they
keep passing their laws the whole
structure of our society will fall. Every
divorce obtained in this city is a direct
blow at the foundations of society. If
a man picks out a girl he wants from
the 40,000,000 iu this country and then
it. twelve months is running up to the
judge and telling him he has a direct
case of incompatability, I say there i®
njffTettiffTg'wfong with'our social fabric,
aud I feel like saying to such a man,
‘You ought to be killed, you dirty dog
you.’ I don’t believe there is a dirty
dog in Atlanta who gets a divorce but
that the devil will get him. I mean
what I say, let the chips fall where
they will It’s the devil’s work—this
divorce business. God save the world
when it gets fashionable to get a di
vorce. I understand that in a city
not far from here they are issuing mar
riage licenses with divorce coupons at
tached. If you marry a girl on one of
the licenses aud get tired of her, all
you have to do is to fill out the di
vorce coupon, tear it off and hand it to
a justice of the peace aud you’ll be di
vorced.”
The State Kails Heir.
The state of Georgia has fallen heir
to a large estate in Hancock county.
It is variously estimated as worth
from SI 6,000 to $20,000
About six months ago J. G. Babcock
a prominent citizen of Sparta, died af
ter a short illuess, and after his death
it was found that he had left no legal
heirs to his estate, wjiich consisted of
stocks and bonds and valuable real ea
tate.
lie came to Sparta many years ago
and went into business and became verv
prominent and accumulated a band
some property.
He said little about his antecedents
only that he had no relatives and was
alone in the world, lie never married
and in his last hours his wants were ad
ministered to by outsiders, who sym
pathized with him in his lonely condi
tion.
So far all efforts to find any trace
of his relatives have proved in vain
and the authorities have come to the
conclusion that he had no relatives and
that he was as he said, without kin
dred.
Under the state laws his estate will
revert to the state and will be added to
the public school fund as provided for
by law.
It is thought that when the estate is
wound up that there will be at least
$16,000 worth of property which will
revert to the public funds.

Absolutely pure
Spring Catarrh.
Again spring is here. The long
cold winter with its bluster and chill,
has passed, and has left iu its train in
numerable victims of chronic catarrh.
They haye taken a great many remc
dies during the winter with perhaps
temporary relief, but a fresh cold has
brought on the old symptoms, aud,
heartsick and weary of trying, they
have concluded that there can be no
relief for them. This is great mistake;
and now is the time to rectify it.
The spring time is the most favora
ble time of the year to treat catarrh.
There is so much less liability to take
fresh cold that the treatment is unim
peded. All old cases of chronic ca
tarrh should begin immediately a course
of Pe-ru-na as directed in Dr. Hart
man’s books on this disease. There
are so many different phases and stages
of catarrh that one hardly kuows when
he has it. A great many people think
they are suffering from something else
aud have tried many medicines in vain,
wbeD if they could realize that it is
catarrh and take Peru-ua for it they
would impruve promptly aud soon re
cover entirely.
All who desire to learn more of ca
tarrh should pend for a froe copy of
Dr. Hartmau’s latest book, which will
be seut free by The Pe ru-ua Drug

Monte Water Uses Well to Remember.
The few hints following relate to
certain valuable applications of water
in severe attacks of illness. The adult
member of the family should keep
them in mind for an emergency.
A strip of flannel or a soft napkin,
folded lengthwise and dipped iu hot
water and wrung out, and then applied
around the neck of a child that haß the
croup, will usually relieve it in a few
minutes.
A proper towel folded several times
and dipped iu hot water, quickly wrung
out and applied over the site of tooth
ache or neuralgia, will generally afford
prompt relief.
This treatment for colic has been
knowu to work like magic. .
Nothing so promptly cuts short a
congestion of the lungs, sore throat,
or rheumatism as hot water, when ap
plied early in the case and thoroughly.
Hot water taken freely half an hour
before bed time is an excellent car
thartic in the case of constipation,
while|it has a soothing effect on the
stomach and bowels.
This treatment, continued a few
months, with the addition of a cup of
hot water slowly sipped half an hour
before each meal, with proper atten
tion to diet, will cure most cases of
dyspepsia.
Ordinary headache almost always
yields to the simultaneous application of
hot water to the feet and back of the
neck.

A SI,OOO WORD.
The Third Missing Word Contest of
The Atlanta Weekly Constitution,
iu Which SI,OOO Will Be Distribu
ted to .Successful Contestants on the
Ist of Next May.
The Atlanta Weekly Constitution
has inaugurated its third consecutive
“missing word” contest, which began
on the first of March and closes on the
Ist of May—sixty days.
It publishes the cashier’s receipt for
the special deposit account of SI,OOO
to be paid to the person, or persons,
who, in subscribing to Tbe Weekly
Constitution, names correctly the mis
sing word in the following sentence:
- “Tbe right of • ’ is the very
essence of the constitution.”
The sentence is taken from a histor •
ioal publication, and the sentimeut to
which it gives expression is that of an
eminent writer.
By special arrangement with The
Weekly Constitution, that great paper
and ours cun be obtained for one year
at almost the price of one paper. Not
only that; hut uuder our arrengem ut
with Ihe Weekly Constitution every
person who takes advantage of this
clubbing proposition, subscribing for
both papers, will bo entitled to a guess
at the missing word. All clubbing
subscriptions should be sent to this
paper with each subscriber's guess at
the missing word plaiuly written. The
guess and the name and address of each
subscriber will be forwarded by us to
Tho Constitution.
Tbe Constitution’s first “missing
word contest” closed on the Ist of Jan
uary, and but one person, Mr. M. L.
Brittian, a hard working school teacher
guessed the missing word, receiving
therefor a check for SI,OOO. Its sec
ond contest closed on the Ist of March,
and The Weekly Constitution of Mon
day, March Bth, will contain the an
nouncement of the awards in which
SI,OOO in cash is to be distributed
among tbe successful guessers in that
contest.
The readers of our paper who sub
scribe jointly to it and to The Weekly
Constitution have free access into the
third contest, just opened; and it may
be that some of them will get the SI,OOO
