McDonough, Ga., Oct. 12, 1900
Mormon elders are said to be
making some converts in Coffee
xounty.
An Exchange gives this advice: “If
j u have a grudge against your neigh
bor, don’t poison his dog—buy his lit
lie boy’s drum.”
There is uo human fraud greater
ibau the alleged reformer who talks
like a saint and votes like a tough.—
Sparta Ishmaelite.
4 Tour face seems very familiar to
me,” sa'd the good deacon. “Mebbe it
is,” feplied the other tnau; 44 1 can’t
keep track of ’em all. I’m O’Reagan’s
bat keeper.”
“ 1 oung man,” said the old gentle,
man sadly, “I have only one daugh
ter.” That needu’t worry you,” re
plied the prospective son-in-law. *‘l
only want one.”
Tue largest raft ever Moated on the
Missisippi is on its way to St. Louis.
It is 7GB feet lung and contains 9,000,
000 feet of lumber, with 60 carloads of
shingles and laths on its deck.
A correspondent of the Sparta Ish
maelite thus muses: “The collection
days have come, the saddest of the year.
'1 ho Justice court Bailiff reaches forth
and catches the farmer by the ear.”
A country editor, observes the
Blakely Reporter, has taken the trou
ble to return thanks to Mr, McKinley
fur bis kindness in shortening the cot
t"U crop early enough for the farmers
to get the benefit of the high prices.
A Missouri editor makes this apolo
gy “We expected to have a death aud
marriage to publish this week, but a
violent storm prevented the wedding,
and the doctor being sick himself the
patient recovered, and we are accord
ingly cheated of both.”
The election for State and county of
Mcers in Pike Wednesday passed off
quietly. Ihe consolidated returns gave
Gov. Candler GO7 votes aud Traylor
G 2. Madden for the legislature re
ceived 550 voies aud J. Dan Woodall,

County Journal.
A fellow devil sounis tbe born of his
own towu thus:
“Our towu is looking up —that is—
the town is Hit ou its back looking up-
Some new houses have gone up—.(in
smoke.) Three citizaus have recently
located here. They are in jail.”
Nothing like standing up for your
town. Dtltou Argus Devil.
It might be well for other churches
to follow the example of the Baptist
church at Bowman. According to the
amendment of its coustitutiou which
was recently adopted, all of its mem
bers are to pay their debts or be , xpelled
from the church, the church beiug the
judge as to their ability to pay —EI
bertou Star.
I'be following is an incident of
the Galveston, Texas, flood and disas
ter:
V, A mm uarned Ayers, who is em
ployed m the Custom House, cluug to
a raft, aud while floating aloug s tw two
c’.iidreu s ruggliug in the water. He
seized them, and then discovered the
raft would siuk if all three remained
apou it. He jumped into the water
aud pushed the raft against a telegraph
pole. He put tbe children in a stable
aud fell asleep on tbe raft. When he
awoke be was on the ground. He came
up town, forgetting all about the chil
dren. Next day he thought of them,
aud going to tbe stable found them cry
ing. He recognized them as his
sister’s children. The mother was
lost.”
Some Plain 'l'alk.
At the late reunion of of the Grand
Army of the republic at Chicago a res
olution was adopted condemning the
school histories of the South. In no
ticing this setion the Baltimore Sun
says :
“The B<>uth raises its own school
tunds and educates" its children without
the assistance of the grand Army or
the general government. It is uuder
uo obligations to exalt the prowess or
the patriotism of the Grand Army, or
to sit eternally in sackcloth and ashes,
and to cultivate a meek and lowly epir
it because the Grand Army has a poor
opinion of the Southern Confederacy
—its generals, its armies, aud its prin
ciples. The fact is the south is atten
ding to its own business, and it would
be much more fo the credit and profit
of the Grand Army if it adopted a rim
ilar course. It m-ikes itself ridiculous
when it talks about banishing certain
histories from the public schools in the
southern states. The empire 16 not yet
established in this country, and until
the emperor is firmly seated upon the
throne in Washington the Grand Army
will not be given control of the public
schools in the Southern States.”
Mir. Ilrjan oil Destiny.
‘‘lt may be that we have run our
race; it may bo that we have reached a
turning point in our career. It may
be that destiny—destiny that is never
known till it is past —it may be that
destiuy has determined that this nation
like so many other Lations in the past,
is to prove again the old truth that the
wages of sin is death.
It may be that it is destiuy for this
nation to show once mqre that when
the dollar becomes greater than the man
thegovernmeut must decliue. It may be
that love of money has so taken pos
session of the American people that
they are willing to sell their birthright
fur mass of pottage. That may be
destiny. No one has a right to declare
what destiny is. That may be our
destiuy; but what is our duty? Lin
coln says that it is our duty to do
right.”
Walt tor Her.
Once I was young, but now I am
old, and have never seen a girl that
was unfaithful to her mother that ever
became worth a one eyed button to her
husbaud. It is the law of God. I>
isu t exactly the Bible, but it is written
ten large and awful in the miserable
lives of many misfk homes. I’m speak
ing for the boys this time. If one of you
chaps ever corno across a girl like that,
witu a face full of roses, says to you as
she c mes to the door, “I can’t go for
thirty minutes yet, for the dishes are
not washed,” you wait for that girl.
You sit right down on the door step
aud wait for her, because some other
fellow might come aloug and carry her
off, and right there you lose an angel.
Wait for that girl aud stick to her
like a burr to a mule’s tail. Se
lected.
4*oo«i for Our lteailcrs
W’no have scrofula taints in their blood,
aud who has not? Scrofula in all its
forms is cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla
which thoroughly purifies the blood.
This disease which frequently appears
iu children is greatly to be dreaded. It
is most likely to affect thp glauds of
the neck, which becomes enlarged,
eruptions appear on the head aud face,
and the eyes are frequently effected
Upon its first appearauce, perhaps in
slight eruptions or pimples, scrofula
should he entirely eradicated from the
system by a thorough coarse of Hood’s
Sarsaparilla to prevent ail the paiuiul
and sickeuing cousequeuces o) ruuuiug
scrofula sores, which drain the system,
sap tbe strength aud make existence
utterly wretched.
Old Gentleman—Do you mean to
say that your teacher never thrashes
you ?
Little Boy—Never! We has moral
suasiou at our school.
Old Gent—What’s that ?
Boy—Ob, we get kep in, and stood
up iu corners, aud locked out, and
locked in, aud made to write one word
a thousand times, and scowled at, and
jawed at, aud—that’s all.
To Hang; tn Newton.
ftfauzo Glover, colored, who shot
and instantly killed Cary Henderson,
uear here about three months ago,
was tried "last week, and sentenced by
Jadgo J B Estes to be hangel ou No
vember 15 th
The crime was committed on Mr. J.
T. Wright’s place, three miles from
town, about one o’clock Sunday morn
ing and was a esse of cold blooded mur
der.
The negroes had a big party on the
place Saturday night and s me half a
dczsn stayed there, presumably gam
bling aud began disputing abcut the
money, when the Glover negro pulled
the other negro from the house aud
shot him one time through the back
while ruuning, thereby causing instant
death.
He left the county and made his way
to Lawerenceville. Sheriff Anderson
hearing of his move, wired the chief of
police of Lawreuceville, who arrested
him on Monday afternoon and lodged
him jail.
Glover is a young negro aud is not
over 22 years of age.—Covington En
terprise.
A Negro Killed.
In a “crap game” last Sunday just
over the line in Monroe county, Henry
Benton killed John Brownlee.
The negroes were in a pine orchard
drinV ing and playing cards when a dif
ficulty arose. The Brownlee negro
said he was going home after a shot gon
and if Benton was there when he come
back he was going to kill him.
Sure enough soon after he reappeared
with a shot gun, but Benton was too
quick for him, for pulling a pistol he
centered him in the forehead and
Brownlee was hauled out of the pine
orchard's dead negro.
Benton was captured and turned
over to Sheriff Crawford, who will give
him up to the authorities of Monroe.
Benton was under a SSOO bond for kil
ling another negro, Mr. Lum Garr be
ing bis bondsman, and it is likely that
Benton will be tried here for murder
before being given up to the authorities
of Monroe.—Jackson Argus.
It Happened iu Drug Store.
“One day last winter a lady came to
my drug store and asked lor a brand of
cough medicine that 1 did not have in
stock,” says Mr. C. R. Graden, the
popular druggist of Outario, N. Y.
“She was disappointed aud wanted to
know what cough preparation I could
recommend. I suid to her that I could
freely recommeud Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy and that she could take a bot
tle of the Remedy aud after giving it a
a fair trial if she did not find it worth
the money to btiog back the bottle and
I would refund the price paid. Iu the
course of a day or two the lady came
hack in company with a Irieud in Deed
of a cough medicine aid advised her
friend to buy a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. I consider that a very
good recommendation for the remedy.”
