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. by Druggists, price 72c. per bottle. 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. I’INK GROVE. Dry and dusty, and news scarce. Willie Harnett, of Ala., who has been visiting relatives in this commu nity, has secured the position as Street car driver in Griffin. Jas.

Mr. Jim Fields, of Greenwood, came by after us a few nights ago, and we went over to his father’s, where clever Babe Fields had the apples toted and partly beat. Of course we had a good time. We know of no young man who has more energy and pluck than Harvey Fields. It is said that W. E. Alexander and E. I*. Mays cau’t pass in the big road, on account of the smiles they are wear ing over a new ten-pound boy apiece at their homes. Clever Lum Fields, of Griffin, was up to see his friends last Sunday. Everybody seems to be sorry. The merchants are sorry the farmer can’t pay them, aud the farmers are sorry their cotton crops are so short. M. Wallace and family visi.ed the family of your scribe last Sunday. Mike tells a good one about going a possum hunting the other night. He says the dog caught one that weighed 180 pouuds. Mr. J. T. Fields sells goods so cheap that it takes him till 10 or 11 o’clock every night to get through. Next week is court week, but we don’t know of anybody who is needed there from this settlement. We are peaceable people. T. S. Mays and J. T. Fields are on the jury. Oi.d Giakp. pii.KM «'l Dr. L. A. Folsom, of Hampton, is prepared to treat aud cure you of any case of piles, whether itchiug, bleeding or blind, without paiu or cuttiug, and no detention from busiuess. Also cures fistula. Call to see him at the drug store and consult with him. Terms reasonable. 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 IF TOUR RACK AClltS, Or you are all worn out, really good for noth ing, it is general debility, lry brown’s iron Him:its. It will cure you, cleanse your liver, and give a good appetite. Several sections of Missouri, ludi ana, Ohio and other western states were shaken up and terribly frightened by t baby earthquake a short time ago From the accounts published in the papers it is evident that if one ot Charleston’s quakes should get under that country and begin to hump itself the entire population would go into spasms. 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 _ . not get well of itself. It 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 overcoming the localsymp- m„„ j.„u n toms removes the sympa- HeaQaCne thetic effects of the disease, banishes the headache, and refreshes the tired mind. •« I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had but little appetite, and what I did cat u . distressed me, or did me Heart* g otK p In an hour burn after eating I would expe rience a faintness, or tired, all-gone feeling, as though I had not eaten anything. My trou ble, I think, was aggravated by my business, which is that of a painter, and from being more or less shut up in a SOUT room with fresh paint. Last «. .1. spring I took Hood's Sarsa- otOmacn rilla—took three bottles. It did me an immense amount of good. It gave me an appetite, anil my food relished and satisfied tho craving I had previously experienced." Georoe A. Page, Watertown, Mass. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Sold by mil druggists, gl; six for gi.
