DAWSON, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1891,
IN THE FIRELIGHT.
The fire upon the hearth is low.
And there is stillness everywhere:
Like troubled spirits, here and there
The firelight shadows fluttering go.
And as the shadows round me creep,
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from a further room
Comes: *Now I lay me down to sleep.”™
And somehow with that little prayer
And that sweet treble in my ears,
My thought goes back to distant
} years.
And lingers with a dear one there;
[ And as I hear the child’s amen,
} My mother’s faith comes back to me—
| Crouched at her side 1 seem to be.
~And mother holds my hands again, 3
~ Oh for anhour in that dear place!
| Ol for the peace of that dear time!
‘; Oh for that childish trust sublime!
Oh, for aglimpse of mother’s face!
Yet, as the shadows round me creep,
1 do not seem to be alone—
. Sweet magic of that trembling tone
And, “Now I lay me down to sleep!”
—Eugene Field.
The Sioux Chiefs Before the Secretary.
In a small room in the building of
the interior Department there was on
Saturday, Febuary 7th, a eurious and
suggestive gathering. Someot those
present were amused, others were ir«
ritated, others were despondent. Pers
‘haps a few looked at it historically
and philosophieally, and found it in
tensely melancholy. This room was
small, and crowded to its capacity,
There was a desk near one, and be~
hind it sat the venerable Secretary
of the Interior, with white hair and
with and expression of alternate
amusement and concern. Behind
and around him was grouped a dis
tinguished array of men and women, |
high offizials and their wives and
daughters.
On the other side of the desk sat a
stolid, impassive company of strange- I
looking men—men with copperi
skins, lhigh cheek-bones, [n'nminenti
noses, and long, coarse black hair. |
They were Sioux chiets come to |
see the Great Father, come to ask!
pardon for their sins, come to find E
justice and mercy. They looked abs |
surdly out of place and out of har+
mony. They were in the office in |
the midst of civilization, sitting in |
office chairs ranged in rows as at a
town hall meeting. They were not|
in buckskin, not gayly bedecked|

ties. They held in their hands white |
men’s hats. Young<man-afraid of«his

quite another person. Theone is an i
Todian chief, with traditions and |
memories of a vanishing race once|
free and noble and fearless; the other!
is a nondescript, neither civilized uor‘

~ But when you think of what these
men in the cast off clothing of white
men had to tell of wrong and sorrow
and starvation, when you think how
eloquently they told it in the face of
the disadvauntages, you will see that it
was as sad as the story of barbarians
led captive in Roman triumphs, or
as the story of Montezuma in the
hands of the Spauiards.
The time was when Indisn chiefs,
scornful and supercilious, stalked ins
to the council chambers of the whites,
and demandel their rights and more
perhaps. That was not so long ago,
But see now to what these kinsmen
of Phil*p and Tecumseh are come. The
old-time lyric eloquence was there
when American-Horse spoke of their
sorrows, and Turning~Hawk told of
their wrongs. The ancient guile and
craft were there also when Two-Strike
full of years and caution, compliment
ed the daughters ot the high officials,
and skilfully avoided the weak points
of his people's conduct. But the bold
ness, the courage, the spirit, were
gone with the paiut and the feathers,
the leggins and moceasins.
They plead for the chance to become
civilized. The tomahawk, the pillage
the warwhoop, the cautious trail over

YOU MUST CARRY A GUN.
WHEN YOU GO TO CHURCH IN THIS
GRAND STATE OF GEORGIA.
If You do Not You Are Liable to a Fine.
. An Old Statute that Still Exists
’ Unrepealed in the Code of Geor=
| Gia —Very Interesting.
Some very strange laws are in ex-}
istence in Georgia which, although
obsolete, have never been repealed.
Looking through an old code yes
terday, the following unique statute
was found written in the old English
text.
t It reads that no male person shall
go to a church, on Christmas, Easter
day, or other days of public worship,
‘without carrying a gun or a brace of
‘pistols, with six rounds of powder
and ball, under a forfeit of ten shils
lings.
~ The law also says that the church
warden or wardens must search all
persons who come hither that have
no arms displayed and see whether
or not they are about their pers
80N8. ‘
A failure on the part of the wardens
to do this within fittcen minutes
from the first appearence of the per
son or persons at the church, shall
n.uke them liable to a fine of fifteen
shillings. i
This law first passed the General
Assembly of the Statein 1777 to be
enforced tor the term of three years,
or until the next meeting ot the As
sembly.
The revolutionary war then came
on and after the close it was made »
law in perpetuity under a gencral
act passed, which enforeed all statutes
then existence forever, un'ess repeals
ed.
This law, therefore, made during
the time of early settlers, when all
such gatherings were in danger ot be.
ing attacked by the Indians, siill ex
18ts, and our peacelul citizens who go
to their places of worship each Sun
dap unwittingly violate the law of the
State, and make themselves liable to
a fine for the same.
The wardens also have tor years
been acting in direct violation ot the
statute by nat searching each and
every one of the male members ot the
congregation, and the people of the
State must be careful not to go to
their churches after this without
weapons to detend themselves,

GEN. COOK'S DILEMMA,
His Effort at Training a Belligerent
Bull Meets With Signal Failure.
From a Lee county citizen in the
city yesterday, the News and Adver
tiser reporter learned of an amusing
incident in which Gen. Phil Cook
and a large and ferocious bull, on his
Lee county plantation, figurcd as
principals,
The bull in question is said to be a
fine registered Jersey, but one of the
most vicious and pugnacious animals
to be found anywhere. He seemed
to be spiling for a fight every mo
ment of his life, and in deflerence to
bis belligerent inclinations he is given
a wide berth by the hands on the
farm.
Sometime gince General Cook came
down from Atlanta to spend a few
days on his farm recuperating his
‘wasted energies, and while there was
told of the fighting inclinations which
the bull had developed during his
absence in attending to matters of the
State.
~ The doughty old warrior pooh
poohed the stories told him about his
favoraite Ltull, and determined to
show the farm hands that all that
was needed to bring him back to his
wonted docility was a little kind treats
ment and a few gentle words spoken
to him.
The General, therefore, armed with
this determination, went forth to the
forty acre lot of which the bull was
the sole oceupant, and climbing over
the staked and rideired fence vith dits
ficulty boldly advanced towards the
‘helligerent beast, which after regard~
ing him with the most searching curi
osity for a few moments, lowered his
head, threw some dirt over his back
with his fore hoots,und uttering a few
bellows which shook the earth ronnd
#bout, started for the General, who
realizing that the bull resarded him
u 8 the boldest sort of un invader, has
tily taced about and made tracks for
the fence. The bull seemed to divine
the Generals thoughts, and hoisting
his tai! in the air eame sweeping atter
him like a eyclone, The General
realized his danger, and nmuking as
good time as his game leg would ad
mit he reached a large tree which
stood in acorner of the fence and slid
behind it just as the bull knocked a
lot of bark oft ot it with his butt
head.
i Then came about half an hour of
iof expert dodging from the infuriats
ed beast, during which he displayed
the activity of the short stop of a
champion baseball nine, but finally
several of the farm hands came up,
and getting the atten‘ion of the bull,
‘the General was rescured from his
perilous position, a wiser it not a
sadder man.
And the bull still the fort.—Albany

Debt! Thereis no worse demor
alizer of character. The sad records
of defaulting, and dishonest failure
which we meet with in daily press,
are often, indeed mostifrequently, the
resuls of the demoralization of debt,
and consequent desperate efforts at
extrication. The finauncial props have
given away. The little debt, which
at first was as small a# a grain of mues
tard seed, like the rolling snow ball |
has gathered weight and multiplied
iteelf a thousand fold. And still it
grows and like the fabulous hydra
which Heroules was sent to kill, you'
no sooner strike off one head than two
shoot upin its place. The struggle
is severe, but io the end decisive; eith
er confession is made of a hopelese
‘bavkruptey which might and should
Ihave been avoided, or integrity is
sacrificed to the temptation ot the
‘moment. Debt ruins as many house

He Let Jeems Go Home, 1

GOOD CUSTOMER OF OURS.
When Rodney came in the club
the other evening on of the boys re~
marked:
“Ah, Rod, you're looking pretty
slick!”
“Yes, and I am feeling pretty slick,
as you term it. My eyesteeth have
come through since the lsst time I
was around here. Ooe evening, not
a long time ago, I dropped in at
Brack’s to get a few bowls; while I
was sitting at a table drinking,
Brack, after shaking hands with sey~
eral convivial friends and bidding
‘them good bye, chanced to come near
imy table. The old fellow that was
‘waiting on me—the one that we call
‘Bismark—thought to pay me a high
compliment by giving me an intros
duction to his master, and turning to
Brack, said;
** ‘This is Mr. Rodney, a good cuse
tomer ot ours.’
’ “Brack sat down and crdered the
drinks. He was exceedingly jestful
[and laughed immoderately at some
little pleasantry uttered by myselt,
‘and L attempted te be of good cheer,
but if I smiled at all it must have
been in a constraived way, for certain
words lay with shuddering claminess
'wpon my mind.
*“ ‘Mr. Rodney is a good customer
of ours.
“Many a time I had sat at that ta
ble, studying the faces of the clamo~
rous crowd about me, and many
many an ill-spent dollar had 1 left
there, but never before had it struck
me that I had been picked out as ‘a
good customer of ours.” 1 went out
with the words ringing . my ears, |
and meditatively strolled along Michs
igan avenue. Hundreds of resplen
dent equipages whirled past. A man
gayly waved his hand at me. He was
driving a handsome span of horses.
I recognized Brack. ‘A good custom
er ofours.” Good customers of ours
had provided him with that striking
turn-out, But where was my team?
“l weat home. My wife was cook
ing supper. We could not afford to
keep a servant. My wite had said so,
and I agreed with her. She had
often declared that I was working too
hard, and that it was no more than
right that she should attempt to cut
down expenses. I had agreed to all
this for I knew that I did work hard
and I prided myself that I had never
been intoxicated, and yet I was ‘a
good customer of ours’, We sat
down to supper. My wife—and how
weary she did look—sat with arms
resiing on the table. *Arn't you go
ing to eat anything? I asked,
* ‘Not now,” she answered, ‘l'm 8o
tired that I hav'eat any appetite.'
“ ‘Mr. Rodney is a good customer
of ours,” the tea-kettle hummed, and
a cat, purring, at the leg of my chair,
seemed to repeat the words. A chill
crept over me,
“ *What have you learned at school ‘
to-day? I asked my little daughter.
¢ ‘I did'nt go to school to~day,’ she
answered.
“ ‘Why? :
“My wite looked up wearily and
said: ‘
“ ‘Her shoes are worn out. She'll :
have to wait until we can get her a
new pair.’
“Graat God! ‘A good customer
of ours.
I went into the sitting room and
lay on s sofa. A troop of reproach
ful thoughts skurried through my
brain. And then old, villuinous hu.
man nature tried to soothe me.
“You were never drunk.” it said,
‘you have always been kind to your
family. You drink of an evening
when your work is done, but you
veed some sort of recreation. You
spend rioney it is true, but why does
a man care to live if he cannot enjoy
himselt occassionally?
*“Ah, how easy it would have been
to yield, but truth, in asid tone of
reproval, waived aside the tempting
scoundrel and sail;
“ “The money you spend for beer
would make your home a rest.inspir.
ing and happy place. You say you
must have recreation, What recreas
tion has your wite? Whose good cus
tomer is she?’
“My wife came into the room and ‘
‘sat down near me, ‘
~ “ ‘Are you very tired?” she asked, | |
in a voice low and sweet with sympa - | |
thy’s music, |
“ *No!’ I could not help but exc'aim, |
‘Tam net tired but agood customer—
I mean that I am a brute’ :
“ “Why, what do you mean?' she
asked in surprise.
* ‘I mean exactly what I say—
that I sm simply a brute. I have
wasted many a dollar that I should
have brought heme; my s-lfishuess

must throw money away —I must be
a thoughtless brufe at home so that I
may rot appear thoughtfully selfish
among my down-town associates.
We'll not discuss it, but we shall
see.
*‘We have seen” Rodney continued
after a short pause. “We have seen

A Moving Hill.
Speaking ot the reported removal
of a mountain in Japan, a Philadela
phia gentleman says: “A most cus
rious event is said to lmve happened
inthe year 1577 in Heretordshiie,
England. On the 17th ot February,
which was a Saturday av six o‘clock
in the evening, the earth began to
open, and a hill, with a rock under
it, making at first a loud, bellowing
noise, which was heard several miles
off, lifted itself up to a great hight
and began to travel, bearing along
with it the trees growiagon it, the
sheeepfolds, sheep and cattle that hap
vened to be grazing on the hill at the
time. It left a gap in the ground.
about fifty yards broad and 100 long.
The size of the hill was about 20 acres
‘at the base. Passing along, 1t over
threw a chapel standing n the way,
removed a yew tree planted m the
church yard, fiom the west side to
the enst side, and with the same
force it thrust befoie it highways,
sheepfolds, hedgesand trees. Tilled
ground was made pasture, and pas
tue was turned into tilled
ground. The hill continued to move
by fitsand starts from the Siturday
evening until noon on Monday,
when it stopped, having in that time
moved a distance of over a mile. A
like circumstance is reported to have
occurred in Dorsetshire, in 1588. A
field of over three acres in extent,
at Blackmere, moved bodily a diss
tance of 500 yards. The trees acd
and feuces upon it were but litde dis
turbed, but it knocked down a church
and sundry dwellings in another field
crossing the high roud to Herhe,
blocking it up, and there it stayed.
These curious earth convulsiors are
alluded to by many writers ot the
period, and gave rise to no end of
litigation respecting property lizhts,
In the royal archives is an exact ac
count of three events which are de -
scribed under the heading, ‘Proligies
ot Nature.*
True Sympathy.
When any one is afflicted with any
form of blood discase, he certzinly
appreciates true sympathy. It should
be remembered, however, that true
sympathy does not consist in saying,
‘T am sorry for you,” but the sympa
thy must be shown in a material way.
Either get or recommend a remedy
that will cure. This is true sympathy.
W hen the fair skin is disfigured by
blotches and the complexion blemish
edby pimples, when unyielding sores,
boils and carbuncles break out on the
person, when the blood imoarities
impair the digestive functions, when
the urinary organs «how signs of des
cay, when the lungs grow weak and
the whole system feels achy and fee
ble, when the appetite fails, when
lite seems a burden and existence
painful, then will it be true sympathy
to recommend to the sufferer a use of
Dr. Jobn Bulls Sarsaparilla, for just
so sure a 3 daylight follows darkuess,
will this remedy rid him of his afflic
tions and restore him to sound,robust,
enjoyable health.—Munchester News.

HER FOOT OR HER LIFE, ™ . %
A Girl Makes Quick Chaico When Caught Bee
tween /ron Rails, i &“
With her foot wedged between the
guard rails at the Short. Line yatd’l;f;
Miss Katie Wills, a young woman
of the East End, was run down by a
train ot fieight cars yesterday after<
noon. Ker foot was ground off, but
by the rarest presence of mind she
was saved from death. 5
Miss Willis was out walking with
girl friend. While walking through
the net-work of the tracks in the
yards Miss Willis stepped from one
of the rails. Her toot slipped, and
in some way was caught between the
track and a guard rail.
At the same time her friend wotic~
ed a train of freight cars backing
toward them, and only a short diss
tance off Seeing the impending dans
ger she ran to the assistance *of the
captive and together they used all
their sfrength in trying to extricate
her foot. But it was caught as ina
vice. On account of a slight curve
in the track at that point the engi
neer did not see the young woman
until it was too late, .
T In a last efiort to save her life
Miss W illis threw her body from the
‘track, but her left foot = was. still
held flrmly, and through her agony
of mind she saw the wheel roll over
her leg midway between the knee
aud ankle, severing the member coni«
pletely. The shoe, which had been
cut off with the foot, could hardly be
drawn from the track, so tightly had -
it been wedged in,
Mise Wills is 18 years of age ' and
isan unusually pretty girl. The terri.
ble strain of the few s2conds she was
held between the rails and the phys.
ical pain suffered threw her into such
a condition that it is feared her death
will resu't.—-Courier Journal.,
An Eveless Eden. >
There is enly one territory of any
size, and there has never been but one,
occupied by any coasiderable popus
lation, from which woman is absolute
ly excluded. Yet such a place exists
tosday, and has existed for centuries,
As far back as hiswry reaches, to all
females it hav been forbidden ground.
This bachelors' Arcadia is situated on
a bold plateau between the old pe=
ninsula of Acte, in the Grecfmmfic}l
ipeligo and the mainland. Here in
the midst ot coltivate? fieldsand ex—
tensive woodlands dwell a monastie
federation of Greek Christians, with
twenty-three convents and numbers
ng more than 7,000 souls, and not
one of the monestaries dates from a
later time than the twelfth centmy,
A few goldiers guard the horders ot
this anti-female land, and no weman
is allowed to cross the trontier, Nor
is this all. The ruleis extended to
every female creature, and from time
immemorial no cow, mare, hen, duek
or goose has been permitted to make
acquaintance with this territory.
. Heed the Warning. :
It is wot infrequently the ease that:
itching pimples and irritating **cat -
boils” are the foreranners of larger
boils, or the more serious carbuncles.
[nvariably Nature puts out her dan<
ger signals,and they shoul.l be heeded
atonee. The pimples and little boils
show that the blood is not in a good
condition and nature is trying to ros
lieve the system. A few doses of
Ewift’s Specific at this juncture will
accomplish wonders. The eruption
will be healed and the system cleans
ed of its impurities. The modern
paraphrase of the old saying, ‘A
stiteh in time,” ete., is that “Timely
stiches will save nine pairs of breechs
es.” The modern form has a touch
of humor that does not modify the
trth otit. In that vein, we may
suy that a course of Swift‘s Specific
prevents ills terrific,
