Highest of all in Leavening Power.— U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17, 1889. O o y a | Baking Powder 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 |oak.” 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. Mr J.

'The town is crowded with negroes every Saturday, but they do not spend any money—they h&vcnt got it to spend. 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. Fall in ! ROCKDALE. From the Banner. The foundation of the new depot is now laid and the work is progressing finely. Rev. M. II Eakes, pastor in charge, is holding a series of meetings at “Shiloh” iu which much iuterest is be ing manifested. The writing school that was to have opened at Almon Monday morning by Mr. Everitt, of Henry, was postponed on account of sickness. •T. L. O’Kelley showned us the lar gest and finest tomato last week that we have seen this season. It weighed 15 ounces; and was red, round and crisp, and we'l flavored. The variety is called “Lorillard’s choice.” A planing match between Di. Mel-; ton and Mr. John Taylor was gotten up by theyr friends yesterday at the new depot. Mr. Taylor won. Dr. claims that he worked in the sun while his friend Taylor labored in the shade of a tree. Last Sunday evening a little after sunset, an old barn on Christian Street Irelonging to Joseph If. Almaiul, wag discovered to lie on fire. Mr. Almand had recently packed it full of wheat straw. Spontaneous combustion is supposed to have been the cause of the fire. NF.WTON. From t lie Enterprise. The Alliance of Newton county pro poses to have a grand rally sometime in the near future. Several hills on the public roads 'eadit.g from town to Brown’s bridge and to Porterdale have beeii graded down and put in very good order. In October or November next the people of Newton comity will he called upon to vote upon the question of bond ing the county debt. The election for tax collector passed off very quietly and only a small vote was [lolled. Mr. Robert L Loyd, the nominee, had no opposition what ever. The Farmers Alliance Warehouse, located at Covington, did a fine busi ness the past season, considering the many disadvantages under which it had to labor. About $15,000 worth of business was transacted, all the in debtedness jiaid and a surplus remains from which a dividend could he de clared. lietter country schools must bo had in Georgia, for the people in the rural districts are aroused on the subject. There is something evidently imper fect iu the state school system, else so many complaints would not be made. We believe that the time is near at hand when the special public school sys tem will he demanded for the county of Newton. Mr. G. W. Garner lost his residence and contents, near Newton Factory, early one morning last week. The cause of the fire is unknown. There was no insurance on the property and the loss falls heavily on our friend. A new house, nearing completion, was burned at the same time. Nothing was saved from the flames Loss about $2 500. The Newton County Temperance Association met in the court house Tuesday and representatives from sub associations from all parts of the coun ty were present. After quite a num ber of discussions the assoc'ation deci ded that it would be best to take steps and arrange for the establishment of a dispensary, in case “the country should adopt prohibition by a vote under the local option law. A committee will soon perfect such a Rill. The vote was very close between total prohibition and dispensary advocates. Camp Meeting, at Salem, begin ing Friday before the 4th Sunday in Au gust next, and all who feel an interest in said meeting are requested to put the grounds and tents iu order.

We will have a railroad to run out to the quarry some time in the near future, which will employ at least 200 men. We have got lock of all kinds, and as nice as you ever laid eyes on. A Sunday School Association for Fayette county was organized at The Rook church on the 17th inst. It will hold its annual meeting and celebra tion at that church on the first Satur day in September. Several citizens met at Hopeful last Wednesday and cleaned off the church yatd for the Union District Meeting of the Primitive Baptists, to be held at that place, commencing on Friday the 24th inst., and closing the 2Gth. Mr. John Fowler has gathered hi« I onion crop and stored them away for 'the fall market, lie thinks that he will obtain more money from the crop of onions than lie would have obtained from a cotton crop off the same amount of land. \V.

Eastin, about four miles from town. She l ad been confined to ber bed sev eral weeks with typhoid fever, and breathed her last on Monday night. She was an excellent young lady of only 17 summers. We learn that her sister, who is suffering.with the same disease, is not expected to live Since Cheatham’s Tasteless Chill Tonic was introduced many other Ton ics have been introduced to the public. None, however, have met with the same success. The reason is simple— thev do not do the work it does. When you have chills try it. Price 50 aud7s cects. Guaranteed to cure. 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.” Among the members of the associa tion who arc here on the excursion are: Secretary S. W.

The present trip of the association ( Henry County Weekly, Established 1870, | Ilenry County 'limes, Established 1881. was gotten up by the Secretary Rob erts, seconded by the Atlanta Journal and the Constitution of that city, who procured them the privileges of the railroads and hotels. The association will spend the day to-morrow visiting the stock and produce exchanges, the Equitable building and other sights of the lower town. 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.— Texas Siftings. NO- 47
