A Pleasant Neighborhood Picnic,
On last Saturday there was an enjoy
able picnic at the home of Mr. W. S.
Marshall, about six miles north of Daw
son, by the people of that community.
About 150 people were present, and it is
safe to say that a pleasanter day was
never spent anywhere. The dinner was
never excelled on any like occasion, and
there were iced refreshments in abun
dance. THE NEws man had a cor
dial invitation to be present, and very
much regrets that circumstances on that
day were such that it was impossible for
him to meet and mingle with these good
people. A friend of THE NEws, who en-
Joyed the good things of the occasion,
sends us the following note:
“On the 4th day of July the communi
ty around Uncle Wond Marshall’s met
and had a nice picnic. Lemonade was
seryed free to the ecrowd. It was got
ten up by Aunt Susan Bridges and Mrs,
M. Marshall. Everybody seemed to en
joy it. The little folks had a swing and
ran foot races. The old folks' (men) talk
ed free silver and the boys and girls talk
ed loveallday. Youought to have been
there to eat ham and chicken and pork
and pi‘ -, and other good things too te
dious to mention. There was enough
left to feed as many more.”
Rheumatism Cured.
After eminent physicians and all other
remedies fail Botanic Blood Balm, (B.
B. B.), will quickly cure. Thousands of
testimonials aitest this fact, No case of
rheumatism can stand before its magic
healing power. Send stamp for book of
particulars. It contains evidence that
will convince you that B. B. B. is the
best cure for all Blood add Skin diseases
ever discovered. Beware of substitutes
said to be ‘‘just as good.”” $l.OO per
large bottle. For saie by druggists.
A Horse Burned to Death.
Hon. D. R. Stewart, of Randolph, was
in the city Saturday. He told TuE
NEws that the report that the barn at
his home place, together with a fine
horse and a large quantity of provender,
had been burned was a mistake. A
horse and stable on a farm operated by
a negro tenant were burned, and the ex
aggeratcd report grew from this. Mr.
Stewart says the fire was the work of an
incendiary.
i e
A Business Change.
On Saturday there wasa change in the
firm of Owens & Gurr, the well known
wagon and buggy dealers. Mr. Owens
retired and was succeeded by Mr. R. L.
Melton, and the firm is now Gurr & Mel
ton, as will be seen by a notice elsewhei e
in THE NEws. Mr. Owens has located
in Americus, where he will conduct a
brokerage business. We wish all of
these clever gentlemen success.
A Reminder of Army Life,
Mr. Lou Smith, editor of the Com
mercial, Meyersdale, Pa,, says: “A
chronic diarrhoea that returns at fre
quent intervals, as areminder of army
life, has been more effectually controlled
by Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera axd
Diarrhoea Remedy than any other I have
ever used. It possesses true merit,”

A Sunday Marriage,
In the Sixth distriet, on Sunday, at the
home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. W. M. Arnold, Miss Maggie Arnold
and Mr. J, O. Caldwell were joined in
ties of wedlock. These are two most
excellent and deserving young people,
and THE NEWS joins in the good wishes
and congratulations that have been
showered upon them, .

On Saturday I lost my pocket book

It contained in money.one $lO bill and

~Exclaims thousands of people whe
have taken Hood’s Sarsaparilla a* this
season of the year, who have notad the
success of the medicine in giving them
relief from that tired feeling, waning
appetite and state of extreme exhaust
ion after the close confinement of a long
winter season, the busy tiine attendant
upon a large and pressing business dur
ing the spring months and with yacation
time yet some weeks distant, It is then
that the building-up powers of Hood’s
