meeting, unanimously endorse the ac
tion of the Cuthbert convention in sug
gesting Hon. O. B. Stevens as a suitable
representative from the second district.

THIS AND THAT. }
The picturesque wildness of that local
ity in the vicinity of the baptismal pool,
where the Southwestern railroad runs due }
west,'seems the same as ilt appeared for- |
ty years ago. The swamp is nota large |
one, but it is infested with wild cats, one
having been seen there as large as a
smwall tiger. When the Kickapoo Indi
ans were here this swamp was quite a re
sort for them.
An old veteran of the late war, Mr. J.
G. Fitzpatrick, with his left arm badly
dislocated from a wound received in bat
tle, was in the city a few days ago to fill
out a blank in order to draw his pension
of $5O.
The little boys at the towns on the
Columbus Southern railroad spend their
afternoons in the game of foot ball.
The ‘“‘epidemic’ has not as yet reached
Dawson.
Judge J. W. Roberts was obliged to
leave his office at an early hour a few
mornings ago account of sickness.
Dr. Mercer, of Georgetown, we are
pleased to learn, has so far rocovered
from his recent illness as to be out of
bed and about the house.
Rev. J. G. Corley, aformer pastor of
the Baptist church in this city, had a
narrow escape a few days ago from serious
injury. A runaway horse threw him and
his daughter from a buggy, badly stun
ning them both.
A Wise Young Woman.
Young Adolphus Fitzwilliam, he loved a
fair maid,
But to ask her to marry him he was
afraid,
Becau&;;a <()1f catarrh which she had very
ad,
So much so that often the youth was
quite glad
To omit, at parting, the kiss of the lover.
The reason of this she set out to dis
cover.
“Catarrh makes me loathsome, Its fatal
to love.
O,darling Adolphus,by all that's above
Pll vow I'll not lose thee if something
there is
To drive out catarrh aud sweeten a
kiss.”
So this wise young woman began
searching for a cure, and good luck at
tended her. She found Dr. Sage's Ca
tarrh remedy at the drug store, and felt
convinced that a preparation which the
proprietors had such confidente in that
they were willing to offer to pay $5OO for
a case they cannot cure, must be worth
trying. She bougntit. She tried it. It
cured her., And when Adolphus |kissed
her at the altar last week, her kiss was
a 8 sweet and pure as roses in June,
Girls, a word of advice: If you want a
lover to stay a lover, you must get rid of
catarrh. Do as this sensible girl dsd,
and get the only sure remedy for this
disgusting and dangerous disease—Dr.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy.

‘A Blind Beggar Ground to Death by tl:e'_
£ ’ Cars at Smithville. |
[ The horrible killing of a blind beggar |
‘on the Southwestern railroad was report
.€lin Dawson Wednesday. ‘
- The victim was C. C. Busby, a blind |
yman from Harden county, Texas, who |
has been traveling about the country beg
;‘glng a livling.
' . Bushy was standing on the track near
pfixe depot at Smithville, and the train
vhich arrived at Dawson at 2:30 o’clock
‘l’uesday morning, ran over him while
acking up from the coal schute.
.The conductor of the train says Busby
ll.).oa,rded the train at Americus and asked
'£o. be allowed to ride free to Smithville,
%h.is was refused and Mr. C. J. Johnson, |
y drummer, paid the blind man’'s fare.
Nhen the train arrived at Smithville the
ductor assisted Busby to the waiting
gom, and the train ran down to the coal
hute. It is supposed Busby had been
ipected to the hotel, and had started
.gver there. There are several tracks be
réen the depot and the hotel, and the
ind man, probably thinking himself
Jear the building, had stopped on the
utside track.
,{;he Montgomery sleeper is run onto
11s. track at Smithville, and it was in
acking up for this purpose that the
rain ran over Busby. The rear of the
leeper struck him, and he was dragged
under the tracks. The low trucks thus
%‘:lssing over him tore open his back and
Cut an ugly hole in the head. A leg and
“foot were also badly mangled, and the
man was otherwise bruised. Strange to
say he lingered until next worning.
The railroad officials telegraphed to
Texas for information concerning the
_ml.'m, and had his body prepared for bur
ial.
Specimen Cases.
S. H. Clifford, New Cassel, Wis., was
troubled with- Neuralgia and Rhenma
tism, bis stomach was disordered, his
liver was affected to an alarming degree,
appetite fell away and he was terribly
reduced in flesh and, strength. Three
bottles of Electric Bitters cured him.
Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, 111,
had a running sore on his leg of eight
years’ standing. Used three bottles of
Electric Bitters and seven boxes of Buck
len’s Arnica Salve, and his leg is sound
and well. John Speaker, Catawba, 0.,
had five large Fever sores on his leg,
doctors said he was incurable. One bot
tle of Electric Bitters and one box of
Bucklen’s Arnica Salve cured him en
tirely. Sold by Sale-Davis Drug Co.
Little Happiness in Stately Mansions.
“Well, I tell you what has struck me
most,” said Mr. G. E. Dickinson. *“ltis
the large and magnificent houses in sev
eral of our great cities built by million
aires and the small amount of real com
fort or happiness which the millionaires
seem to get out of them. Dickens, in
one of his novels, portrays with vivid
touch the real life of one of the city
men whose magnificent mansion was the
talk of the town. It has often occurred
to me that there are many New York
millionaires whose peace of mind is no
greater than that of the character whom
he sets down.
‘““Somehow there seems to hang over a
number of these stately mansions a
shadow of gloom. In the west it is the
same, Some of those great houses look
as deserted as if the men who built them
and every relative had been forgotten ‘
and the houses were the only reminders
that they once existed. To tell the truth,
there is too much rush, I believe, over
the making of money to enjoy the sup- |
posed happiress which it brings.”—St.
Louis Globe-lremocrat. ‘
- Value of Amber During the Roman Empire
~ In such repute was amber in Rome in
the time of the historian Pliny that he
remarks sarcastically, “The price of a
small «figure in it, however diminutive,
exceeds that of a living healthy slave.”
He observes also, “True it is that a col
lar of amber beads worn about the necks
of young infants is a singular preserva
tive against secret poison and a counter
charm for witcheraft and sorceries.” He
says further that as an article of per
sonal ornamentation amber was used to
produce imitations of precious stones by
artificial staining, a use to which it was
peculiarly adapted owing to its brilliant
luster, combined with the ease with
which it could be worked and polished.

Serve Things Hot.
Serving things hot, toc, goes a long
way; if cooks could only be made to
realize that hot food is very rarely criti
cised they would be more careful in this
respect. An experienced housekeeper
said the other day, “The real reason that
my things are so much liked is not that
they are one bit nicer than any one
else’s, but I always see that each dish is
served so piping hot that there is no
chance for much criticism of the flavos.”
