The Columbus Enquirer-Sun states
that it had authority for stating that
the northward extension of the Geor
gia, Florida and Alabama Railway
(formerly Georgia Pine Ry.) would
soon begin at Cuthbert, to be pro
jected to Columbus via Lumpkin and
Louvale and Jamestown; that the
roadbed has been definitely fixed up
on as above stated, and that dirt
moving would begin in a few days;
that Hardaway and Co. had the con
tract. Well, we have heen waiting
for such a movement for thirty years
or more, and the cold disappointment
that has always chilled our hopes
has left but little enthusiasm among
our people.—Lumpkin Independent.

A MAMMOTH PEPPER TREE. |
Is Twelve Feet in Circumference and
Forty Feet High.
In the southern part of Santa Bar
bara county, close up to the foothills
of the Santa Yhez mountains that al
most surround the valley of the Car
pinteria, there stands a specimen of
the pepper tree that is interesting,
owing to its massive proportions. It
adorns the home of Gideon E. Frank
lin, one of Santa Barbara county's
citizens.
The tree was planted by a former
proprietor of the estate about twenty
yYears ago. One foot above the
ground the giant trunk measures 12
feet in circumference. It soon de
veloped into three well developed
bodies, which have respectively an
individual girth of 4 feet 8 inches,
4 feet 9 inches and 6 feet 1 inch,
or a combined circumference of 15
feet 6 inches.
The longest boughs have an almost
uniform reach of 33 feet, giving a
nearly circular diameter of 66 feet.
Some fifteen feet of the longest limbs
have been cut off in order to preserve
the regularity of its form. The hight
of the tree is between 40 and 50 feet.
The tree is supposed to be the
larger of its kind in California.
HARD ON GRIGGS.
Had Just Married, But the Minister
Didn’t Know It.
Bishop Coleman of Delaware was
describing in Washington some of
the adventures that had marked his
summer walking trip through Penn
sylvania and Maryland, says an ex
change. For many years the bishop
has devoted his vacation to walking,
covering in ten days 200 miles or
more.
“The sexton of a quaint old Mary
land church,” he said, ‘‘showed me
through the cool, dim building one
warm afternoon, and, as we were de
parting, pointed to the Bible on the
lectern and smiled.
“*A strange thing happened last
Sunday in connection with that bi
ble,” he said. ‘We had a strange
minister preaching here, and when
he opened the book he came upon
a notice and read it out with all due
solemnity.
“ ‘lt was a request for the congre
gation’'s sympathy and prayers for
John Q. Griggs, who had been deep
ly afflicted by the loss of his wife.’
“The sexton paused and chuckled
softly.
“ ‘You' see, sir,” he said, ‘our regu
lar minister had been using that pa
per as a bookmarker more than a
vear, and John Q. Griggs, in a natty
gray suit, sat in a front pew with
the new wife he had taken just the
week before.””
Whose Say-so Is Best?
With nearly all medicines put up
for sale through druggists, one has
to take the maker’s say-so alone as
to their curative value. Of course,
such testimony is not that of a dis
interested party and accordingly is
not to be given the same credit as
if written from disinterested motives.
Dr. Pierce’s medicines, however,
form a striking exception to this
rule. Their claims to the confidence
of invalids does not rest solely upon
their makers’ say-so or praise. Their
ingredients are matters of public
knowledge, being printed on each
separate bottle wrapper. Thus in
valid sufferers are taken into Dr.
Pierce's full confidence. Scores of
leading medical men have written
enough to fill volumes in praise of
the curative value of the several in
gredients entering into these well
known medicines.
Amongst these writers we find
such medical lights as Prof. Finley
Ellingwood, M. D., of Benent Medical
College, Chicago; Prof. Hale, of the
same city; Prof. John M. Scudder,
M. D., late of Cincinnati, Ohio; Prof.
John King, M. D., late of Cincinnati,
Ohio: Dr. Grover Coe, of New York;
Dr. Bartholow, of Jefferson Medical
College, of Pa., and scores of others
equally eminent.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
cures the wost cases of female weak
ness, prolapsus, anteversion and ret
roversion and corrects irregularities,
cures painful periods, dries up dis
agreable and weakening drains,
sometimes known as pelvic catarrh,
and a multitude of other diseases
peculiar to women.
Shipped Him Home on Ice.
James Aldrich, a practical joker
of Pottsville, Pa., went to Canada
some days ago with a hunting party.
In the woods James thought it
would be fine fun to hide in the
bushes and make a noise like a wolf
and thus frighten one of his compan
jons. Suiting the action to the idea,
he concealed himself and began
howling in imitation of a wolf. The
other man, the intended victim of
the joke, had a rifle and knew how
to use it. James’ remains have been
shipped to Pottsville on ice, and not
a particle of blame can be attached
to the man who killed him.—Savan

A Taste of His Own Medicine. -
Ordinarily judges do not feel
called upon to formulate sentences
and execute them, too, as did a
Pennsylvania judge the other day.
The prisoner was charged with wife
peating, and insisted that he had a
right to punish his wife whenever he
thought necessary. During the argu
ment the judge leaped from the
pench and mixed it up lively with
the defendant, who was soon con
vinced of the error of his way. It is
to be hoped that after a taste of his
own medicine that the prisoner was
under conviction, at least tempora
rily.

A GEORGIA CHURCH HAS A
CLAIM AGAINST UNCLE SAM.
Church of Messiah in St. Marys Was
Burned by Federal Troops in
1862. Case Soon to Come Up.
One of the most interesting cases
in the courts of Georgia will come
up in a few days at St. Marys. Mr.
George E. Boran of the United States
attorney-general’'s office at Washing
ton will open the hearing of the fa
mous suit of the Church of the Mes
siah against the government. A
commissioner will take evidence and
the hearing will- last several days.
Attorney R. D. Meader of Brunswick
represents the church in the suit and
associated with him is Hon. William
G. Henderson of Washington. |
} In 1862 the United States gun
boat John Adams entered the har-‘
bor of St. Marys. The federal troops
were landed and the town partly
burned—it is claimed by the troops.
When the fire was put out the old
Episcopal church, the church of thel
Messiah, was in ashes. Valuable old
records were destroyed and the peo
ple of Camden were naturally in
censed.
Several years after the war the
Episcopal church of Georgia put in
a claim for the congregation and the
matter was referred to the court of
cialms, where the suit is now pend
ing. Two years ago Senator Clay
had a bill passed appropriating an
amount to pay the claim so soon as
the court of claims made the award.
Although it is now forty-four years
after the destruction of the church
there are many who were witnesses,
and these will be called on to give
evidence in behalf of the church, and
also to show the value of the prop
erty. A number of the witnesses
now reside in other sections, several
being in Savannah. These will at
tend the hearing, which will take
place at an early day.
Cured of Bright's Disease.
Mr. Robert O. Burke, Elnora, N.‘
Y., writes: ‘“Before I started to use
Foley’s Kidney Cure I had to get up
twelve to twenty times’a night, and
I was all bloated up with dropsyl
and my sight was so impaired I |
could scarcely see one of my family
acoss the room. I had given up hope
of living when a friend recommended '
Foley’s Kidney Cure. One 50-cent’
bottle worked wonders, and before
I had taken the third bottle the drop- "
sy had gone, as well as all other
symptoms of Bright's disease.” Ken—’

three of them the republican candi

two, including his own district, they
