WEEKLY *** TIMES. BY FOUCHE <i JOHXSOX. J. A. FOVCHK, Kclitor. Entered at thepostoflice at McDonough Ga. , as second-class mail matter. McDonough. Ga,, July 31, 1891. Doctors must not get drunk. So says the legislature. If they get drunk twice, they forfeit their license. This act was passed in the house last week. Senator George, of Mississippi, is Go years of age and has been a member of the Senate for ten years. He was a brigadier general in the Confed erate army, after the war Chief Justice of the Supreme court. The Georgia State Alliance will meet iu Atlanta on Wednesday, Aug ust 19th. The county trustee stock holders will meet the day before,(lßth) All indications point to the re-election of lion. L. F. Livingston as president, and the choice of 11. C. Brown as sec retary. The famous 'l'witty bill, concerning which so much has been said and writ ten recently, has passed both branches of the General Assembly, and made a law by the signature of Gov. Northern The bill pravides that 10 per cent, attorney’s fee now allowed when a note is collected by law, shall not be lawful unless the defendent files a plea is not sustained. The law goes into effect at once. The Terrell .Jury BUI. The most important bill that has passed the senate was Mr. Terrell’s bill to put the names of the grand ju rors in each county in the traverse ju rors box, so that the latter jury might be drawn from the entire body of ju rors for the county, the proviso being that if a juror be drawn at the same time from both boxes, he should serve as a grand juror and somebody else should be drawn as a traverse juror in his place. Mr. 1 errell said that the only effect of the bill was to give litigants who tried causes and the state and defend ant iu criminal cases the benefit of the entire liody of the county. He was sure that such a system would inure to the benefit of any community, and be cited the law to show that justices of the peace under the present law, au thorized as they were, to draw their juries from both boxes, might get bet tei juries than in the superior court. Iho only expressed opposition was from Senator Gill, who made the point that the names of the grand jurors be ing in both boxes the citizen so favor ed had twice the chance ofbeingdrawn as the juror who was only in one box. The answer to that by Judge O’Neal nas that no man was required fo serve more than four weeks in the year, and it, of course, added nothing iu counties where the court held one week, and very little where it sat two or more weeks. The bill passed easily by 25 to 5. The Merry Go ’Round. Some of the Alliance cotton raisors iu the South want to withhold the cot ton from the market till its price can. be forced up ; and some of the Alli ance wheat raisers iu the Northwest want to withhold the wheat till they can sell it at their own price. But the wheat raisers do not want to pay any more than they now pay for cotton, and the cotton raisers do not want to pay over the present price for wheat. 10 goes all around. The grocers, tailors aud shoemakers want bigger profits than they get, and their custo mers want the goods at cheaper prices. Ihe house owners seek to raise the reuts and their tenants would like to cut them down. So it goes all around from Maine to California, from Janua ry to December.—N. Y. Sun. “Don’t Care to Eat.” It is with the greatest confidence that Hood’s Sarsaparilla is recommend ed for loss of appetite, indigestion, sick headache, and similar troubles. This medicine gently tones the stomach, as sist digestion, and makes one "real hungry.” Persons in delicate health, after taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla a few times find themselves longing for and eating the plainest food with unexpect ed relish. Most children decidedly object to taking pills; they more decidedly oh ect to taking castor oil. What then 8 to be given them when a cathartic is needed? Cheatham's Tasteless Castor Oil. It is the same as the plain effect but actually delightful to the taste. Price 25 ceuts. Itch on human and horses and all animals cured in 30 minutes by Wool ford’s Sanitary Lotion.

GERMAN CITY, Owing to a constringency' and press ure of business, we have been compel! ed to abaudon(?) for a time, our posi lion as a “communicator” to Tim Hknuy County Weekly. This we regret very much. Not so much on account of having lost such an innu merable amount of valuable informa tion ourst If, Lul because we realize the fact that our numerous friends throughout the Southern, Western and Northwestern portion of this great Republic have been deprived of the privilege of reading the production of one of the ablest and most talented writers of the nineteenth century. Nevertheless, uuder the unavoidable circumstances, it would have been al most impossible for us to have done otherwise. But now, as we have re tired from public life and are once more permitted to enjoy the freedom and tranquility of a private ciuzen, we can well afford to devote a sinal 1 por tion of our valuable time to the ad vancement of Tuf. Weekly, and the “enlightenmeut”(?) of its readers. Our official career dates back to a period of several hundred days, the exact number of which we disremem ber ; but suffice it to say, that we ten dered our resignation iu December, 1890, much to the regret of our con stituents, but hiving known that we had served faithfully and therefore ueeded a vacation, reluctantly they let us slide. And now a private citizen, it affords us much pleasure when we take a retrospective view of our past public career, to know that our official record stands—to-day—without a p p- paralel 1 1 We do not utter this thought in a spirit of egotism, but as a matter of justice we owe ourself and rising pos terity. Just now everythiuff seems to be quiet in and around German City, but there is much lieing said—sometimes however—yea—very much in regard oj the sub treasury bill, the Ocalla platform, the free coinage of silver, id genus omne, sic dc similibus, (I got this out of the dictionary ;) but as yet we have not given our views in regard to these important issues. If wo have opinions of our own in regard to these matters, we prefer to keep them to ourselves, and desire therefore, not to be eucumbered with letters of iuquuy from our numerous friends everywhere, as to bow we stand upon these issues. We will say this, how ever, iu regard to free coinage of sil ver, that our opinion is, there will be none of it free to us, and if we get any, we will have to work for it just the same as we have always done. And right here let us state to our liumeious friends, North and South, that we will not be a candidate for any office in 1892—stick a pin right here—but if we should, unfortu nately be called to occupy the seat of the Chief Magistrate of the IT. S. A , remember, it will be done according to the old proverbial maxim, “let the office seek the man.” As we are now out of office, we wisli to remain so, and if it should re main thus, will endeavor to keep your readers posted on matters of impor tance pertaining to German City aud vicinity. Our city is gradually growing ; we can’t say however, that real estate has advanced to any great extent within the past few mouths, but there seems to be a tendency toward building ; not assuming the proportions of a “boom” howeve., but a regular building in a quiet way. Mr. 11. C. ltiley is having erected a beautiful residence on his farm within the surburbs of our town, and when completed, will be one of the hand somest as well as the most convenient residences in Dutch Town. Prof. W. W. Garrison, after a va cation of several weeks, and visiting relatives and friends in Carroll county, resumed his school at County Line on the Gtli, inst, under the most favorable auspices, llis school has now attained an enrollment of 45, and still they come. VT. F. llill, County School Com missioner of Gilmer county, paid us a short visit last Tuesday. He boarded the traiu at Lovejoy last Wednesday morning, enroute to Litltia Springs, to be present at the School Comiuisiouers and Teachers Convention to be held at that place, beginitig on the 23rd inst. Don .It an. Happy IliHKirrs Win. Timmons, postmaster of Idaville, Jnd., writes: “Klectric Hitters has done more for me than all other medicines com bined, for that bad feeling arising from Kidney and Liv-r trouble.” John Leslie, farmer and stockman, from same place, says: “Find Electric Bitters to be the best Kidney and Liver medicine, made me feel like a new man.” J. W. Gardner; hardware merchant, same town, says: “Electric Bit ters is just the thing fc,r a man who is all rundown and don’t care whether he lives or dies: he found new st.ength, good appe tite and felt just like he had a new lease on life. Only 50c a bottle at Dr. McDonald’s dru ; store. Young men desiring to attend a Pusiness College will find it to their advantage to call at this office lief«re making arrange ments el sewhere. XHp.YJ' ST, JEAN Corn has come out wonderfully since the fine tains set in Mr. Mat Harrison has returned home fromarisit iu Walton county, and reports crops over there about like they are here. Prof. J. 0. Tarpley opened up a t school at the cross roads, near the home of W. A. Mays Monday. E. P. Mays took iu the Jug city Monday. We are informed that' a man living near Babb has to take his horse to the field with him, iu order to get back to the house for dinner. The lioys get close enough for him to hear, And then get him to drink till full of lager beer. We saw a sight the other day we never saw in a circus show —and that was our friend A. V. McVicker iu a fine surrey. Mr. Win. Copeland lias invested in a nice new buggy and can now enjoy riding as well as anybody. Miss Lizzie Copeland is visiting in Greenwood. Mr. T. S. Mays and lady worshiped at Philadelphia last week. J. N. Shirey is no Soloman, but he generally speaks to the point. He says he thinks it would be right for the county to build a good school house on the poor farm and have it painted, for the beuefit of the young paupers. Charlie Williams and Miss Lizzie Anglin, ot Newton county, are visiting the family of Mr. Harrison. Old Guard. WALNUT CREEK. As no one is writing from this cor ner, I have concluded to give you a few dots. Mr. G. W. Prichett and his charm ing bride are spending a few days in Atlanta, the guest of his brother, Mr. J. N. Prichett. We are all through work, and hav ing nothing else to do, are spending a portion of our time fishing—not for minnows, however. Some of the boys call it sparking. We hear of a new kind of cotton this year, and think the most of our farm ers have some of it—bumblebee. Wonder where Henry Cookie goes every Sunday ? Messrs. W. H. Prichett and Will Massey visited the Jug City last Wed nesday. Mr. A. V. McVicker lias purchased a fine city phaeton, which goes to prove that Babb is on a boom. Mr. J#C. Massey is up from Griffin. He says he is going to rest two or three weeks, then I guess he will give a grand singing entertainment. P. W. H. Allliinoe Picnic. 'Lite alliance rally at South Avenue sub-alliance, No 5G2, in Shakerag dis trict, on the 22d day of July was a grand success. The crowd began to gather early in the morning, and in a short while the place was alive with peoph. Indeed, it was a lively day, and everybody seem ed to enjoy themselves. The speaking commenced at 10 o’clock, when Mr. A. D. Pace, master of the day, introduced D. W. Arnold, lecturer of the Henry County Alliance, who delivered the welcome address. He dwelt on the principles of the or der in a sounnf at.d impressive man ner. Mr. Arnold was followed by Dis trict Lecturer Chupp, who held the audience spell bound for two hours in an eloquent talk on the sub-treasury plan and the money question. We then took a recess of an hour and a half for dinner. It was a fine spread, everybody feasting to the full est extint, and there was a plenty left to feed as many more. Afier dinner the crowd reassembled at the stand and bad a good talk from G. W. McWilliams, followed by S. Tolliver and J. P. Austin, of Fulton county, then W. A. liellab, all of whom made good sound alliance speeches. In short, it was a big alliance day, everybody bad a good time, aud we all went home plum full of Alliance prin ciples. Ai.lianceman. Deafness Can’t l>e Cured by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deaf ness,aud that is by constitutional rente dies. Deafness is caused by an in Darned condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this ,übe gets inflamed you have a rum bling sound or imperfect bearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can lie taken out and this tube testored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is i nothing but an iutiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
