millinery at 1058 Milwaukee Ave

late severe weather I caught a
dreadful cold which kept me awake
at night and made me unfit to at
tend my work during the day. One
of my millerners was taking Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy for a se
vere cold at that time, which seem

bought some for myself. It acted

No other matters of importance
were brought up and the commit

A Violet Luncheon.
Although Waynesboro is noted
for her lavish hospitality and beau

ever surpassed the violet luncheon
tendered by Mrs. Robert C. Neely
tc Mrs. Porter W. Carswell on
Wednesday last.

appeared to better advantage than
on this occasion. Daintiness mark

luncheon, from the hand painted
name cards ol violets on soft tinted
green parchment, to the tiny glasses
of “Cream de Menth.” The table
was a dream. Sweet-scented violets
shed their delicious fragrance over
the jjuests assembled, nodding there
heads from tall, cut-glass vases, or

Does it Fay to Buy Cheap ?
A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want
something that wili relieve and cure
the more severe and dangerous re
sults of throat and lung troubles.
What shall you do? Go to.a warm

if possible; if not possible for you,
then in either case take the only
remedy that has been introduced in
all civilized countries with success
in severe throat and lung troubles,
“Boschee’s German Syrup.” It no!

sues to destroy the germ disease,
but allays inflammation, causes easy
expectoration, gives a good night’s

the same toils and hardships of a
war that made glorious the name
of a Confederate soldier, and while
relentless lime has left but few who
bore the arms for the Old South, in
them we find inspiration for sub

Editor Citizen:—Please allow us
space of some of the happenings in
church circles over this way. Rev
Dr. Geo. Wm. Walker, A. M., D. D.
President of Paines Institute,
preached an excellent sermon Sun
day for Rev. C. Wise and his mem
bers at Neely Grove, C.M. E. church
Waynesboro. Rev. Walker, having
just come, extended his Christian
hand to a number of anxious wait
ing white gentlemen and passed
hurriedly into the church where a
number of the Sable Sons and
Daughters of Ham were sitting to
hear the wbUe man preach. Dr.
Walker selected 139 Psalms and
soon had Sister Thomsen sayine
mak-i Amen !His sermon was odo of those
ing every sacrifice; they faced ad
versity calmiy and bravely minis
tered to the sick, cared for the
wounded and dying and when at
last the roar of the cannon was
heard no more and the sunny smiles
of peace rested o’er a land dark
with ruin and despair, their devo
tion to the undying cause has con
tinually found expression in Memo-
Iheologicai rhetorical expositions
that we can’t forget. God bless Dr.
Walker. His honor, R.C. Neely,our
mayor; Judge E. F. Lawson, Mr
Thomas Quinney; Mr. F. L. Scales;
Marshal Grubbs and Little A.Neely,
were prominent among the white
visitors. T. B. Jaudon, C. C.

-On last Thursday evening a
very agreeable entertainment was
rendered at the home of Mrs. Mat-
tie Winter at Green’s Cut. A num
ber of persons from Waynesboro at

evening added to the charm of the
occasion. The proceeds were de
voted to charitable purposes.
—Mrs. N. C. Robertson, of Atlan

She is a native of Burke county,
and is here again after many years

Killing That’s Murder.
Coroner Wetherhahn was called
to hold an inquest Sunday morning
over the body of a negro woman
the victim of one of those cruel kill
ings so common among negroes
There is little wonder however
when the courts are brought to lose
sight so often of these cruelties
when these beastly fiends ?.re ar
raigned at the bar of justice. We
nave had recently evidence of the
fact; a convicted murderer got ofl
with 15 years in the penitentiary
and another who iu a joke(?) shoots
another to death and pays for it
with 12 months in the chain gang.
The arguments against lynching
are buried out of sight by the courts
all over the state.
The woman was killed and left in
the public road Saturday night on
>he Cates’ place near Drone, 72d dis
trict. Her name was Margaret
Mack. The circumstances of the
killing are these. One Charlie
Blanchard, a negro, w T a9 last seen
just before the killing in company
with the woman. It was brought
out on the examination that be had
threatened to kill her. He disap
peared and has not been seen since.
The woman was shot just where
the throat joins the collar-bone, ano
death must have been instantane
ous. The verdict of the jury was
that, she came to her death by a
gunshot wound from a pistol in the
hands of Charlie Blanchard, and
that it was murder.

Good Times.
Did you nev?“ hear old peo
ple regale their listeners with
tales ot “ye olden time” when
happiness reigned without a ri
val, and plenty joined hands
with luxury and banished want
and poverty to unknown coun
tries. Ah ! what a great thing
it is that the human mind tor-
gets the miseries and only re
members the pleasures of the
past. Those good old times of
the past w 7 ere indeed lull of
woe and calamity while present
but memory placing a ban upo>n
the misfortunes of days gone by
surrounds the few pleasures of
the halcyon days of childhood
with a halo, that nothing can
efface. We are always dissatis
fied with the days as they are,
hoping ever for brighter and
better times in the future, and
always painting the past with
the roseate hue ot fond recol
lection.
Still there is a grain of truth
iu saying that times were better
formerly than now. Then peo
ple did not have their corn cribs
and hog pens thousands ot miles
from their houses.
A fellow farming now-a-days
can’t go to his crib twice daily
to get corn for bis hogs, tor it
would take him months to walk
to it. The only way he could
call his hogs would be to tele
phone them at a dollar a word.
We can raise corn for 15c per
bushel, but we prefer to buy for
not less than 55c. per bushel.
We can raise meat tor 3|c. per
lb, and have spare ribs, back
bone, sausage, etc., thrown in
extra, but we much rather buy
it at 6c. or more per lb, and lose
all the best part.
Alas! will we never learn
that our time, our servant’s time
our horse’s time is worthless un
less we can use it. Ten cents
per day is better ^than nothing.
This year is the year to get a
start. Cotton from'all indica
tions will bring a good price
and “to get ahead ot the game”
you must live close, cut off need
less expense and raise your
meat and bread this]year for the
next year. To live close and
at the same time have all the
necessary things, you must buy
close and the Cash Concern
offers the biggest kind of in
ducements in the wav of value
for price to those who have the
bullion to pay. A lot of new
things this week—
