Corresponding Secretary Baxter in
Trouble.
The following from the Brunswick
Times-Advertiser does not speak well
for Secretary Barker, of the weekly Pres3
Association. If the charges are true he
should be expelled:
“One of the unpleasant features of
the convention was the preferment of
charges against Corresponding Secretary
Barker for the wrongful disposition of
passes issued by the railroad to members
of the association. Passenger Agent Hall
was on hand and stated that the tickets
had been found m many hands, and
that he had bought them back.
Resolution of investigation committee
was adopted, and the trial will take
place to-morrow It is believed that he
will be expelled.

courtesies to it, but he does consider the
act of Barker a serious matter.”

He Was Insulted.
A farmer went into a certain store the
other day and asked the proprietor if he
wanted to buy some fresh butter. The
merchant told him ho would ask his
wife if she needed any, so he stepped to
the telephone and calling up his wife,
talked to her a few seconds through the
phone, then turning to the country man,
who was standing with his hands in his
pockets, his eyes stretched and his face
very red, told him that his wife said she
did not need any butter. The indignant
country man blurted out, “Look here,
mister, If you didn’t want any butter
why didn’t you say so? I ain’t 9uch a
gol durned fool as to think you’ve got
your wife shut up in that little box.”

merchant speechless.—Blackshear Times.

A Realism.
‘At last we are alone l”
The woman trembled and lifted her
eyes to his face.
They were beautiful eyes; but they
were tremendous; eyes which looked out
from a heart which is irresolute, fearful.
The echoes brought back in their in
visible arms the sound, and let it ripple
out again until it struck the walls once
more and fell into the vast void of si
lence.
A bat, disturbed by tbe usual activity
darted from a corner and blindly dashed
in eccentric convolutions about the dusty
building.
Great ropes of cobwebs hung down
from the ceiling, and across the comer
of the room dead flies swung lightly in
the hammock the spiders had fastened
there.
The dust rose in listless clouds from
the shock of the. heavy footfall, and
sank again, overcome by its own inertia.
Even the air was resting.
The spirit of desolation seemed to
pervade the place.
The woman looked furtively around
ujion her dim surroundings and shivered.
The man laughed harshly.
“Alone, I said,” he growled.
“Yes,” she murmured.
A faint light struggled in through the
great windows thick with dust.
“Where are we?” she whispered and
shivered as the bat dashed into her hair.
“Listen,” he replied hoarsely, “we are
in a store which does not advertise.”—

tain the Georgia weekly editors on

reckoning the editors will entertain
Brunswick.—Albany Herald.
Does South Georgia really want
the next Governor and Senator or
are the boys just joking about the
matter? If they mean it why let
them say so.—Darien Gazette.”
We are waiting to hear from you,
Grubb. What do you say?
The Brunswick Times-Advertiser
is a mighty good paper and we need
it in our business, but three papers

much of a tax on our neighbors.—

Capt. T. J. Fuller, the republican
postmaster at Waycross, has resign
ed, saying that he did not think he
should hold office under a democratic
administration, and he is right. It is
refreshing these hot July days to read
of one conscientious, self-respecting
republican office holder.—Dalton Cit
izen.
The Macon Telegraph proposes to
send two of Georgia’s prettiest girls
to the World’s Fair. They are to be
selected by ballots and the Tele
graph will furnish free transportation
and expenses. It is well known that
the prettiest girl in Georgia resides
in Waycross. It does not require a
ballot to decide that question.
How About This!
“Hon. Sam Dunlap was installed into
office as marshal of the northern dis
trict of Georgia Saturday. His first
work was to appoint nine Republican
deputy marshals.”—Courant-American. ■
We clip the above from the 3Iacon
News. It had been reproduced from the
Courant-American. It is of course un
true that 3Ir. Dunlap has appointed nine
Republican marshals, when Everybody
knows that th’e woods are full of gefcd
democrats who want places.
Notes From Hilliard.
Mr. G. F. Stewart is away on a
pleasant visit to his many friends in
Bullock county. His arrival will be an
ticipated in a few days.
J. A. Simmons returned from a pleas
ant visit to Folkston Sunday. He says
he is very much pleased with the pro
gress that is being made on the new Bap
tist church.
Rev. Wainright, from Folkston, came
down on business a few days ago.
The young people of Hilliard enjoyed
a few hours in a game of “Croca” this
afternoon.
L. B. Cason, of Stark, Fla., is spending
a few days with his cousins at Hilliard.
Rev. L. C. Music preached an interest
ing sermon here a few nights ago. Quite
a number were present and we trust
some good may result. S.
The Georgia Press Gang Pass Through
the City.
The Georgia Press Gang passed
through the city last night enroute to
Jacksonville and St. Augustine. They
were all in fine spirits and upon reaching
the lunch counter at the union-depot
the crowd called for “hop-tea.” The
“hop-tea” was not forthcoming and the
procession proceeded to clean up the
lunch in regular editorial style. Judging
from their appetites, the gang must have
taken a tonic in Brunswick. The boys
declined an invitation to stop over de
claring that they were*dry and must
hasten to a town where there was a
supply of “hop tea.” Hurrah for the
Georgia Press Gang, and good luck to
them alwavs.

The following is a list of officers of

P. T. McCutchen, of the Franklin
News, assistant recording secretary
Last fall I was taken with a kind of
summer complaint, accompanied with a
wonderful diarrhoea. Soon after my
wife’s sister, who lives with us, was
ken in the same way'. We used almost
eyerything without benefit. Then I said
let us try Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, which we did,
and that cured us right away. I think
much of it, as it did for me what it was
recommended to do. John Hertzler,
Bethel, Berks Co., Pa. 25 and 50 cent

The Ladies at Work.
The northern division of the Ladies
Aid Society of the Methodist church
met yesterday at the residence of Mrs. H.
3Iurphy, and raised forty-nine dollars
and seventy cents. The northern
division is ahead of the other divisions,
though the ladies are all doing all in
their power to furnish the new church.
That the ladies will be crowned with
success we do not doubt. God speed
them in their noble work.
It Should Be In Every Hons J
J. B. Wilson, 371 Clay St., Sharps-
burg, Pa., says he will not be without
Dr. King’s New Discovery for consump
tion, coughs and colds, that it cured his
wife who was threatened with pneumonia
after an attack of la grippe, when var
ious other remedies and several physi
cians had done her no good. Robert
Barber, of Cooki.port, Pa., claims Dr.
King’s New Discovery has done him
more good than anything he ever used
for lung trouble. Nothing like it. Try
it. Free trial bottles at A. B. McWhor
ter A Co., E. B. Goodrich and B. J.
Smith’s drug Store.
“3Iy little boy was very bad off for
two months with diarrhoea. We used
various medicines, also called in two
doctors, but nothing done him any good
until we used Chamberlain’s Colic, Di
arrhoea and Cholera Remedy, which
gave immediate relief and soon cured
him. I consider it the best medicine
made and can conscientiously recom
mend it to all who need a diarrhoea or
colic medicine. J. E. Hare, Trenton,
Texas. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale

“The Waycross (Ga.,) Herald, copying
a paragraph in a recent issue of The News
concerning the wonders of that town, ob
jects to the statement that the land there
abouts is too poor to grow peas. It also
claims that Waycross has a population
of 5,000. The Herald writes us to Come
down there and see the town. We can’t
spare the time just now, but if the editor
of the Herald will send us a quart ot
peas and certify that they were grown on
Waycross soil, we will call it square, and
in subsequent issues will try to make
amends for the injustice done that town.”
Charlotte. (N. C.,) News.
The Herald hasn’t a quart of peas to
spare just at this time, but would like to
swap the editor of the News a “Jim Kolb”
melon for a quart of huckleberries.
Liner’s Alliance, of Lafayette county,
3Iiss.. has hit upon the correct idea of
the sub-treasurv in the following sensi
ble resolution: “That we will try and
make our sub-treasury at home, and try
to store it with corn, hay, fodder, pota
toes. peas, cabbage, turnips, onions,
beets, rice, parsnips, molasses, pinders,
and then if we have any time left we
will put in on©' or two bales of cotton,
and we. advise our brethren to do the
same. We believe that this is the only
way that we will ever have a sub-treas
ury that will ever be of any use to us as
■farmers.”
