ABSOLUTELY PURE
CONFESSION.
I love you. That is all. Life holds no
more.
H„re in your arms 1 have no other world.
Where is the mad ambition known of yore?
Ah! fled awav to some foreign shore,
.Uid lost forever. Yes, I love you, Sweet—
You only, you alone! My heart, my life,
1 lay— mergre ottering—at your feet
With tears, because it is so little worth.
You are my soul, my all —my Heaven and
Earth.
0, love me. Say of love there is no dearth!
Look at me with warm brown eyes, mv own.
And banish fear and pain and doubting
strife.
Kiss me with eager lips and never moan,
Shall tell you that I grieve my fallen
* throne.
And you have loved me all these weary
years?
0, patient heart! O, man’s heart, strong
and true!
Nay, do not kiss away these silent tears.
I could weep out my passionate heart for
you—
For you, 0 my own Love, my own true
Love.
Can the white shining angels up above
Have more of patience and of tenderness?
There! let me stop your lipt with my ca
ress,
And press the white lids down, as fair cool
snow
Shuts out the violets from the winter’s woe.
Now press my wan, white check against
your heart,
And let me rest here from the world apart,
Forevermore, Love —ah, forevermore!
All life’s grim silences and pains are o’er.
—Fanny Driscoll.
Advices received by cotton men of
the condition of the growing plant,
says the Savannah News, do not lead
them to anticipate as large a crop this
year as last. Some of them estimate
that this year’s crop will fall 1,000,-
000 hales short of last year’s. Even
wi h this, the crop would he a large
oce. The reports received show that
the acreage this year is slightly less
than last year’s. The whole crop is
late being from two to four weeks be
hind last year’s crop, and not well fruit
ed even for its growth. It is what the
factors call “spotted,” or “ragged.”
Those who have traveled through the
cotton districts say that they find some
fields of cotton very fine and well fruit
ed and adjoining them other fields
where the cotton is low and stunted,
giving promise of almost nothing.
Business-Like.
Editors, a 3 every one knows, are a
very busy set, with no time to waste
upon long-winded callers or unnecessa
ry formalities.
A Georgia editor, who is also a real
estate agent, a buil .ing and loan asso j
ciation director, an attoruey-at law, j
clerk of the town council and pastor of!
the village church, was recently called
upon to perform the marriage ceremo
ny. He was in a great hurry ;in fact,
the couple surprised him iu the middle
of a heavy editorial on the tariff.
“Time is money,” said he, without
looking up from his work. “Do you
want her ?”
The man said yes.
“And do you want him ?”
The’girl stammered an affirmative.
“Man n I wife,” cried the editor.
■One dollar. Bring me a load of
[ wood for it—one-third pine, balance

Delays are Dangerous.
There are those who are morbidly ;
anxious aliout their health, watching
every symptom and dosing themselves
on the slightest provocation. There
are others who never give the matter
a thought, t permit real symptoms to
lapse into the certainties ol disease.
Between these two extremes the wise
man steers —never unduly anxious, and
vet not permitting genuine symptoms
to develop. He knows that delays are
dangerous, and he knows, moreover,
that the medicine most likely to be ef
fective is that which goes straight to
! ihe seats of disease, and tones up the
digestive organs, strengthens the sys
tem and purifies the blood. He takes
a few doses of S. S. S., and soon fiuds
that all the symptoms have disappear
ed. awl that he ig in a better condition
than ever. The great vegetable rem
edy has no lival.
AND HENRY COUNTY TIMES.
McDONOUGH, GA.. FRIDAY. JULY 31, 1801.
TWO MURDERESS
Capture*! in South Carolina Ami
Brought Back to Butts County.
Facts are more interesting than fic
tion sometimes.
And here is one of the times.
A few years ago H. A. Duke, then
a r’sing young business man in Jackson,
Butts county, became involved iu a
quarrel with a negro whom he killed.
Duke quickly fled and after roaming
around brought up in Anderson, S. C.,
where he went to work under an as
sumed name.
When Puke left Jackson, his father
was a hale, hearty man.
Rut since then he has gone to his
grave.
A year or so after young Duke skip
ped away, his father was killed by W.
L. Parker, an old ’companion of the
junior Duke.
Parker, liko his old schoolmate,
made his escape, and without any
knowledge of the whereabouts of his
victim’s son went to Anderson, S. C.,
where he took another name.
Of course Duke, who was hiding
for his life, learned of his father’s
death, and a short time afterwards saw
Parker on the street.
He could not openly ask for Parker’p
arrest because he too was wanted for
killing a man.
With quite a shrewd game he suc
ceeded in having Parker arrested.
Immediately after Parker’s arrest an
officer was sent to Anderson for him.
Rut before Parker left the Anderson
jail he ascertained that Duke was there
and that his arrest was due to the son
of the man he had killed.
Parker kept his mouth closed, and
Duke never suspected that he was
known in the matter.
After reaching the liutts county jail
however, Parker gave the whole snap
away, then Duke was arrested on a
telegram.
Now the Tackxoti Sheriff is on his
way to Anderson for Duke.
In a short time be, too, will he in
the Jaekßo jail—Atlanta Constitu
tion. ,
The above named Duke was lodged
in jail on last Sunday morning by
Sheriff Beauchamp.—Jackson Argus.
Try It.
Read the following twelve short
paragraphs slowly, and stop after you
have read each one and meditate upon
it for just two minutes. They are all
gems for food thought:
The religious home is the greatest
foe the devil has on earth.
Do your best when you expect to get
help from heaven.
No man gets such great pay as the
one who does God’s work.
The devil is always after the man
who never gets discouraged.
You can’t make the man poor who
knows he is rich in God’s love.
The great thing is not how long we
are going to live, but how.
There is no Chi iat for the man who
is not willing to bear the cross.
It is not the last drink that makes a
man a drunkard, but the first.
The devil can’t do much with a man
until he can get him to quit work
People who grumble do a good deal
of work for the devil for nothing.
| The man «ho believes that God loves
| him will always respect himself.
The religion that costs nothing is
not the kind that lifts people into
lieayen.

'The town is crowded with negroes
every Saturday, but they do not spend
any money—they h&vcnt got it to

The rains of Friday last were exceed
ly partial. Some sections within two
mi es of the city scarcely any rain was
had, and such sections are suffering
greatly.
The annual meeting of the Georgia
Southern Musical Convention will he
held at Orchard Hill, begiuing Friday
September 11th, and will continue in
session for three days.
Two countrymen yesterday became
envolved iu a quarrel, and wishing to
save council fees boarded a street car
for the Park for the purpose of settling
their differences by an old time coun
try fight. A dozen or more* friends of
the party went out to see a fair fight,
hut sheriff Patrick catching on to the
racket followed in persuit and arrived
upon Hie ground while the prelimina
ries were being arranged and soon
convinced the party that it might ho
cheaper to test their manhood within
the city limits. Differences were soon
adjusted when all returned to the city
on the first car.
The question of the Spalding Coun
ty Confederate Veterans Association
unite with the survivors of the Forty
fourth Georgia Regiment in the reun
ion in Griffin on Tuesday, August 4th,
is lieing considered, and it is hoped will
not he abandoned.
Let the fatted calf he killed, the
shoat and kid, and all be barbecued and
arranged for a grand spread for the
old confeds, whose ranks are being rap
idly thinned, and enable them to spend
the day in a genuine, old-time reun
ion. *
Judge Reeks has consented to ad
dress the survivors of the Forty-fourth
Georgia on that day, and his heart is
large enough to take in every old con
fed in Middle Georgia,and his resources
in putrotism and oratory will he equal
to any emergency, and the Call urges
that such a program as that being con
sidered may he adopted at once and let
all work eal neatly to make it a day
ever to be remembered by the rising
generation. Let the sous and daugh
ters of Georgia veterans feel that the
cause for which their fathers suffered
and eudured has not been so soon for
gotten but still lives and should con
tinue through generations yet unborn.
Pass the word down the lines that
every survivor of the lost cause in all
Georgia is cordially invited to meet
with us iu Griffin on tfft 4th of
August.

Newton.
Mr. G. W. Garner lost his residence

$2 500.
The Newton County Temperance

soon perfect such a Rill. The vote was
very close between total prohibition
and dispensary advocates.

GEORGIA EDITORS IN GOTHAM.
Now York Advertiser.
Twas a jolly crowd that alighted
from the Pennsylvania railroad train
in Jersey City at 0:42 yesterday morn
ing. Ninety-five stalwatt Georgia ed
tiors, members of the Georgia Weekly
Press association of that state, liad
come north to sue all that could be
seen in the greatest city of the new
world. 'I here wasn’t a puny physical
presence in the lot. Most of the men
weretull and not fleshy, but every one
looked “stroug as ail ox and wiry as a
snake,” to use an expression of a favo
rite Georgia novelists. They were well
dressed, hut it was too hot for swallow
tails, and variety lent enchantment to
the view. Anti then the hats; well,
there were white straws, soft felts and
hard felts, dicers direct from manufact
urers this year, dicers of the vintage of
’64 if there was any vintage of that
year in Georgia, and lots of wild west
sombreros. Thoughtful faces looked
out from every brim, ami it was easy
for the observer to understand the in
fluence of the [iress of Georgia.
The first obj jet of interest was the
bridge. Then the association spent a
couple of hours in Central park, a visit
to tho Metropolitan Museum of Art,
completing their visit to this pleasure
ground. They next called at the art
gallery in the Huffman house, and
then left via tho iron steamboat Pegas
us to Coney island.
The trip to the ‘ Island” was a decid
ed novelty to most of tho members,
and at West Brighton J. 11. Vallette,
press agent of tho Sea Reach route, in
troduced them to tho ocean and Propri
etor Piper of tho West End hotel.
They reveled in surf, sandwiches and
good music from the hotel orchestra,
The band played “Dixie.” and a regu
lar old-time demonstration of cheers,
hats flung in the air and a genuine “ti
ger” testified to the delicate compli
ment paid the association.
Through the courtesy of Austin Co
nor and James Pain they saw the fire
works and heard Gilmore’s band at
Manhattan Reach. A return trip
over the Long Island railroad ended
their first day’s visit to the city.
With the exception of ono or two
members the association are all demo
crats. A straw vote taken on the boat
en routo to AVest Brighton, showed
tho Georgia editors’ preference for the
next president of the United States.
The result of the vote was as fol
lows ; Cleveland, 25; Hill, 5; Camp
bell (if he is electeil governorof Ohio),
5; Boies, of lows, 1; Farmers’ Alli
ance, 2 ; non committal, 20.
Speaking of the comraing president
ial camp lign, F. A. Small, brother of
Sam Small, said; If it hadn’t been
for Cleaveland’s attitude on the silver
question he would be a groat favorite
in Georgia. As it is now a great
many of us don’t know which way to
jump. The Farmers’ Alliance, which
I regard as a bunco steering concern
to he lp the republicans, is working
tooth and naii down iu our state just
now, and there is some feeling in favor
of them. That is about tho situation.
We like Grover ami think that he is
honest, hut that silver letter sticks in
our crop.”

The Gentle Way.
She was a middle-aged, welld ressed
lady, and she had the next stool on my
right along-side a drygoods counter in
Fourteenth street. I wasn’t watching
her at all, but happened to see her
place her shopping-bag on the counter
and deftly pick up and conceal a pair
of kid gloves within its capacious maw.
One hates to meddle in such cases but
such things are wrong, and as the store
detective was only twenty feet away I
went over and told him what I had seen.
I saw him look at the girl clerk, and she
gave him a nod to signify that she had
also caught on. It was shoplifting,
pure and simple, and I waited with
considerable anxiety to see the out
come.
“Being waited on, ma’am?” asked
the detective, with a bland smile, as he
sat down beside her.
‘‘Oh, yes, yes !” she replied.
“Pleasant day ?”
"Very pleasant.”
“These gloves,” he continued, as he
picked up a pair, “are a wonderful bar
gain at tho prico. You were wiso to
mako an investment. I don’t believe
they will sell again at the price this
summer. See that the lady is prompt
ly waited on, Julia.”
"Julia" sold her two or three hits of
lace, included 1)0 cents for tho gloves
on her slip, and the bill was paid with
out a word, although the stolen goods
were not even mentioned, and could
nol, of course he wrapped up with the
other things. [ t was only when tho
lady arose to go, aftos reciveing her
change, that she betrayed any emotion.
Thou she finished up, grew pale about
the mouth, and as she passed me she
gave me a flash of her eyes which seemed
to promise vengeance in the future.
“Hoyou always work it as slick as
that ? I asked of the detective, ns she
swept out.
“Not always. She was an old hand
at the business and a sharp woman.
They always make the best of it when
caught. One with less wit would have
bluffed and stormed and 1 should have
bad to take her back to tho office and
prove her a thief.” M. Quad.
After iitl Years.
A correspondent of tbo Carnesville
Enterprise writing from Appomattox
Courthouse, Va , says:
‘ i here is nothing left hero now to
remind one of tho dark days of 18G5
save some few holos from grape, minio
balls and shells through old houses. T
went yesterday and stood on tho spot
where Leo walked up to Grant and of
fered up his sword and hope for the
south. The surrender ground is cover
ed to day with blooming clover, and
blooms just as sweetly as if that spot
had not witnessed one of the most try
ing ordeals of the south.
“Eighteen wooden slabs marks tho
last resting place of southern heroes
whose spirits pissed over the river that
fatal morning—eighteen rude wooden
slabs without names, without records
of the kind and loving words uttered
by mother, father, brother or sister,
when they bid them faiewell to go to
fight for what they deemed was right.
1 hey lie here neglected, forgotten by
the world. No page in history, for they
were privates ; although they suffered
most of the hardships, they did most of
the fighting, lint they lie here to-day
and no flowers mark their graves, save
i 1C w *ld May-weed, known in Georgia
as <log fennel.”
Why They Qaurreled.
Mrs. E. L. Meredith, of Waco, heard
a tremendous racket in the kitchen, and,
upon investigation, found her two boys,
Jim and Bob, engaged in a rough and
tumble fight. i
‘•V\ hat do you mear. by all this rack
et ?” exclaimed the indignant mother.
“Quit kicking each other , and let go
of each other’s hair. What are you
quarreling about, anyhow ?"
The boys separated, and Bob ex
plained : “We are quarreling about
which is the best behaved boy. Jim
says he is the best behaved boy, and I
say he is a liar.”
Here the two clinched again, and
Mrs. Meredith had to pour cold water
on them to get them apart. The quer
tiou as to which is the most quiet, or
derly boy, has not yet been decided.—
