WEEKLY 5 TIMES.
BY FOUCHE «{'• JOIINSOX.
J. A. FOUCHK, Kdltor.
Entered at the postoffice at McDonough
Ga., as second-class mail matter.
McDonough. Ga., Oct. 9, 1891.
Please Remember.
The money season is now here, and
while it is passing we kindly ask our
readers not to forget the small amount
due us for subscribtion. It is true each
subscription, isolated, is a small matter,
and to the individual is insiguificant,
but several hundred summed up is a
very great help to us. Indeed, it is
impossible for us to get along without
these little mites, and we mean just
what we say when we tell you we need
the money —and need it now.
It is impossible for us to see t ach one
individually, and we trust you will
kindly hand in your subscription volun
tarily as early as possible. I’lease
send by some friend during court week,
if you don’t attend yourself.
Good Prices.
There was not a very large crowd in
attendance upon the sales Tuesday, but
some of the lands sold brought fine
prices.
The John South lands brought $3,-
105. They were sold in three parcels,
and some of it brought nearly S2O per
acre.
One hundred acres in the second dis
trict, belonging to the Cleveland cliil
dren, brought $975.
These are good prices for public
sales, when it is considered that $0 to
$lO is the average, and is conclusive
proof of the value of Ilenry county
lands. Year by year they steadily ad
vance, thus insuring safe and profitable
investments.
Has Resigned.
Dr. Mallory filled his regular ap
\K>intment at the Baptist church last
Saturday and Sunday. At the church
conference on Saturday morning he
tendered his resignation as pastor of
this charge, much to the regret, not on
ly of the whole church, but of our en
tire people. Therefore this congrega
tion will be under the necessity of se
lecting a new pastor, as he has already
received and accepted a call from one
of the largest churches in Macon.
The benediction of our entire people
rests upon him, and their prayer is that
he may live long to continue the work
he is so valiautly engaged in already
ja the Master's vineyard.
Fine Crayon Work.
Mrs. J. It. Gregory, the talented
Atlanta artist, was in McDonough last
Saturday delivering some of the excel
lent crayon work which she has done
for parties here.
Among them is an elegant picture of
Dr. D. W. Scott, which is uow on ex
hibition at his office. This picture is a
magnificent work of art, life-like in ap
pearance, and is a splendid testimony
of Mrs. Gregory’s skill. She requests
au inspection of this picture, and those
who see it cannot fail to admire it.
Those desiring good pictures should
give her a trial, as she ranks at the
head of her profession. A recent is
sue of the Atlanta Constitution has
this to say of her :
“Mrs. Gregory is an artist who has
now a great deal of success in particu
lar lines, being chiefly portraits in
crayon, pastel aud oil. The crayons
of men especially are always superb,
and she has probably done more work
of this kind than any woman iu Atlan
ta. She has been a brave, untiring
worker and the success that has come
to her is certainly well deserved. She
is uow doing a number of pictures for
the exposition, which are sure to at
tract a great deal of admiring atten
tion.”
Besides making portraits, Mis. Greg
ory teaches her art, and now has a
number of young ladies studying under
her who are said to be making excell
ent progress.
Beware «f Ointment's for <’»-
turrli tliat contain Jlm-ury,
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such ar
ticles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure,
manufactured hy F. J. Cheney & Co ,
Toledo, O , contains no mercury, and
is taken internally, and acts directly
upon the blood aud mucous surfaces of
the system. In buying Hall’s Catarrh
Cure be sure you get the genuine. It
is taken internally, aud made in Tole
do, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co.

To the Public.
I take this method of informing un
friends and the public that 1 have pur
chased the stock of goods of J. F. Mil
ler, aud will coutinue the grocery busi
ness at the same stand. I will sell ev
eiything in my line at the closest pos
sible prices, and earnestly ask a share
of your trade. Ben.t. J. Love.
Cotton.
The past week has been another fa
vorable one for the farmers. It has
been splendid weather for picking eot
] ton, yet a good amount has been put
upon the market, with prices prevailing
firm. Most of the cotton brought in is
readily sold and proceeds appropriated
to the payment of obligations. Such a
course manifests a right spirit upon the
part of those owing money. It keeps
the machinery of business moving and
tends to make matters easy all round.
McDonough as a cotton market still
holds her own, being one of the best
in this section. Hence we feel safe in
saying to the farmers, that if they want
good prices for their cotton, and dis
patch in the sales thereof, bring it to
McDonough.

Those Hurst in# Silver Tears.
lu the long agoue, way back in the
early history of the city of Griffin, 1
remember an incident that I shall never
forget.
I was walking down Broadway, in
j company with a sister whose eye was
J ever vigilant in watching for the ob
jects of charity that are always stand
ing by the wayside. Just a little to
one side of the street was to be seen
a poor, decrepid, helpless man, whose
feet a;.d hands were greatly deformed.
He was not there for the purpose of
asking alms, for his soft, mild counte
nance expressed no indication that
pointed in that direction.
My sister, having only ten cents in
her hand, said to me: “Brother, I
wonder if that poor man would have
this small amount.” 1 remarked to
her, “I can offer it, if you wish to give
it to him.” Taking the dime, 1 walked
up in front of that man and said,
“Here is a dime, sir, that lady wishes
to offer to you.” He reached out his
crippled hand and took the dime, and
looking me full in the face smilingly
bowed his head.
Just as I was in the act of turning
away I saw three large silvery tears
flow from each of his eyes. Those
bursting tears were the grandest ex
pression of gratitude that I have ever
witnessed in an observation of more
than sixty years.
As to who that afflicted man was,
has never been known to me. I have
never seen nor heard of him siuce. I
guess, however, that he has long since
gone over to the pearly gates that
stand ajar foi the entrance of all those
who have washed their robes and made
them white in the blood of the lamb.
We come now to confess our faith
and tell why that incident made such a
lasting impression on our memory.
While offering a small gift for another,
it did not occur to me that I was under
obligation to lend a helping hand. 1
never thought of it until I had gone
more than a hundred yards. Feeling
condemned for ray thoughtless failure
to do that which I should have done, I
went immediately back to offer him
a half dollar, but that poor man was
gone, ajid I knew not where. My
criminal failure to contribute to bis
want may have never detracted from
his opportunity to reach the heavenly
land, but a feeling of remorse has often
thrown a shadow over ray path as I
have moved on down the stream of
time.
Reader, let us be more thoughtful,
lest we be forgotten, never to be re
membered again. W. T. G.
Poisoned by Scrofula
Is the sad story of many lives made
miserable through no fault of their own.
Scrofula is more especially than any
other a hereditary disease, and for this
simple reason: Arising from impure
and insufficient blood, the disease lo
cates itself m the lymphatics, which
are composed of white tissues; there is
a period of foetal life when the whole
body cousists of white tissues, and
therefore the unborn child is especially
susceptible to this dreadful disease.
But there is a remedy for scrofula,
whether hereditary or acquired. It is
Hood's Sarsaparilla, which by its pow
erful effect on the blood, expels al
traces of the disease and gives to the
vital fluid the quality and color of
health. If you decide to take Hood's
Sarsaparilla do not accept any substi
tute.
We received this week the initial
number of the People’s Party Paper,
published in Atlanta, with Elam Chris
tian as mauager. This bantling will
champion the new bom party of Alli
ance parentage, and declares eternal
allegiance to the same. But like the
party it purports to represent it will
be swept out before the tornado of
Democratic votes upon the boundless
sea of nouent’ty, and both will be n
membered only as the “fevered fancy”
of some wild, deluded politician
M W. B ennett, a colored pedagogue,
was sued for libel by Aaron Kin He
brew, another of similar color and like
profession, in Judge Turner’s court last
Wednesday. The suit grew out of an
article written by Bennett and publish
ed in The Weekly oii Jan. 80th, in
which the writer severely criticised
Kinuebrew and declared him unworthy
to receive license as a teacher. To re
taliate, Kinnebrew sued Bennett for
libel, claiming that his character was
damaged to the amount of SIOO by
the article aforementioned. After hear
ing all the evidence in the case Judge
Turner decided iu favor of the plaintiff,
giving him a verdict of s2,"i.
The Purest ami Best
Article kuowu to medical science are
used in preparing Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Every ingredient is carefully selected,
peroonly examined, and only the best
retained. The medicine is prepared
under the supervision of thoroughly
conqietent pharmacists, and every step
in the process of manufacture is care
fully watched with a view to securing
in Hood's Sarsaparilla the best possi
ble result.
The Public Will Appreciate It.
/The public are indebted to the Roy
al Baking Powder Company not more
for having perfected and prepared a
leavening agent that is pureand whole
some beyond a question than for its
exposures, so boldly made, of the nu
merous impure, adulterated and injuri
ous articles that are sold under the
name of baking powders, bread prepar
ations, etc., throughout the country.
In making these exposures the compa
ny has, of course, made itself the tar
get for all sorts of counter attacks, but
the animus of these attacks has been
perfectly understood by the general
public, and by their very virulence
have served to more prominently call
attention to the good work of the “Roy
al” Company.
Ordinary adulterations such as are
found in coffee, spices, etc., although
they are swindles in a commercial
seuse, are often tolerated because they
do not particularly affect the health of
the consumer. But when an article
like baking powder, that is relied upon
for the healthful preparation of almost
every meal, is so made as to carry high
ly injurious if not rankly poisonous ele
ments into our daily food, it is the du
ty of the public authorities to take cog
nizance of it.
In this fight for pure food made by
the “Royal” Company, it is to be no
ticed that the most trustworthy scienti
fic authorities are empeaticallv upon its
side. In all the contests of the compa
ny with the alum and other impure ba
king powders the result hasptoved that
every statement made by the Royal
Baking Powder Company, both as to
the purity of its own and the adultera
tion of other baking powders of the
market, was fully authorized by the
most compe!ent chemical and medical
authorities of the country.
In this contest two facts have been
pretty conclusively settled in the minds
of the public—the first that the Royal
Company has found the means, and
uses them, to make a chemically pure
article of food ; and the other that the
mai ket is full of poisonous, alum and
other adulterated baking powders
which, no matter how strongly endorsed
by “commercial” chemists, are to be
studiously avoided.
A pure baking powders is one of
the chief aids to the cook in preparing
perfect and wholesome food. The re
cent controversy in the press has left it
no longer a question with those who
desire purity and wholesomeness of
food wliatf baking powder they sh all
use. s

Dyspepsia
Makes the lives of many people miserable,
anil often leads to self-destruction. Distress
after eating, sour stomach, sick headache,
heartburn, loss of appetite, a faint, “all gone”
feeling, bad tasto, coated tongue, and irregu
larity of the bowels, are
DIStrOSS some of the more common
After symptoms. Dyspepsia does

Eating requires careful, persistent
attention, and a remedy like Hood's Sarsa
parilla, which acts gently, yet surely and
efficiently. It tones the stomach and other
organs, regulates the digestion, creates a
good appetite, and by thus Sick
