NEWNAN, GA., FRIDAY. MAY 12.
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
"RIPPLES."
We attended the veterans’ rsnnton
*t Grantville on Friday last, and be
gan to meet old friends as soon as we
alighted from the train—some of
whom we had not seen in years—and
it just made our heart mellow to shake
their hands. Mrs. "Ripples” was
equally fortunate, and quite as much,
delighted. We never saw a more or
derly crowd. There was not a drunk-
ed mnn among the two thousand who
attended the gathering. The entire
occasion was most enjoyable, the de
tails of which will doubtless bo fur
nished by your Grantville correspon
dent. To us, the most interesting
part of the day's exercises was the
music furnished by the ladies and the
sweet little girls who assisted them.
When they sang "Tenting on the Old
Camp-ground” everybody cried, and
wo cried, too; and when they struck
up "Dixie” everybody experienced a
patriotic thrill, and the old vets felt
like whooping. Don’t think we ever
saw so many pretty women for the
same acreage. There wasn’t an ugly
one on the grounds. Wo had numer
ous invitations to dinner, and longed
for a stomacli of sufficient elasticity
to accommodate ourself to the oc
casion—but, alasl this could not be.
However, Col. Rill Rost took Mrs.
"Ripples” away from us and said she
just had to eat dinner with him. Of
course, we went, too, and have been
enjoying the momory of Unit sumptu
ous spread over since. It was a poem
—a rhapsody—a veritable gem of the
culinary art.
There was plenty of dinner on the
grounds for cvcrjbody, and enough
left over for another picnic.
We must also acknowledge our ob
ligations to Mrs. R. J. Sewell for a
delicious treat of ice cream and cake,
enjoyed just before leaving for home.
The picnic at Sewell & Retty’s mill
on Saturday last was quite a nice af
fair, from all accounts, and much en
joyed by those who were so fortunate
as to be present. Sorry wo could not
attend;—had not sufficiently recover
ed from our Grantville trip. It is
pleasant to see neighbors and friends
get together occasionally and lay
aside tiie cares and annoyances of tills
work-a-day world for u brief enjoy
ment.
The cry of hard times is yet beard
in the land; but we are beginning to
seriously doubt whether the times are
so very "hard” after all. Rbople
dress as well, eat as much, and frolic
as joyously as they ever did. They
should stop croaking, quit cuBsln’ the
Government, and not consider every
man a thief who is thrifty enough to
outstrip them in the race for riches.
Solomon was both wlsoand rich; and so
were Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—and
they were not culled thieves and ras
cals. The Good Rook sayH there is a
time to get gain nnd a time to lose; u
time to weep and a time to mourn;—
and all these ups and downs go to
make up life. We will all live until
we die, nnd no longer; therefore,
let's take life us it comes and ‘stop
worrying. Rifplkb.

A concise prayer said to have been
offered by an earnest New England
deacon was as follows: "Lord, give

Nine-tenths of the sickness of wo
men com<>8 from some derangement
of organs distinctly feminine. Nine-
tenths of this sickness can be cured
and avoided by the use of Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription. There is noth
ing miraculous about the "Favorite
Prescription”—nothing supernatural.
It is the result of rational thought and
•tody applied to medicine. It has
been prescribed by Dr. Pierce, Chief
Consulting Physician to the Invalids’
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo,
N. Y., for over 30 years. It has made
thousands of women healthy and
b*ppy, and has brought joy to thous
ands of homes. In "female weak-
new*’ it acts directly and strongly in
healing and strengthening the parts
that are most severely tried. It cleart
out impurities and promotes regular
ity at all times. To prospective
mothers it is a priceless boon, as, if
taken during pregnancy, it so prepares
the system for delivery as to make
labor almost painless, besides short
ening the period of confinement.
HANDY.
We have not written you since the
Cranford tragedy, but desire even at
this late hour to say that we heard of
it with profound regret, and feel au
thorized to say that Mrs. Cranford
and the bereaved ones have the sym
pathy of our entire community. Much
has been said about the sequel of the
crime—i. e., the burning of Sam Holt
—but why should it be considered a
thing incredible to burn a sinner who
seems to have forgotten humanity
and civilization, when most of the
first preachers of the' Gospel which
has done ho much to refine and civil
ize this country were killed—some by
stoning, others by beheading, one by
burning with his head downward, and
still another by being skinned alive?
The only thing that surprises us is
that anyone should want a part of
Holt’s enrenss or his clothes for a
souvenir. We want to forget him and
hiH crimes as soon as we can.
Bro. "Ripples,” in speaking of onr
remarks about the moon some time
ntfo, said: “Bro. ‘Vanpolt’ appears to
be troubled because the moon gets
out of its course now and then. Me
Hhould remember that fair Luna is of
the feminine gender, nnd may be ex
pected to act contrariiy occasionally. ”
We wish to say to him that we are
not much uneasy about the moon
falling on us, nor the world corning to
an end in our time, nlthough the devil
seems to be looso, and some folkH are
almost quarreling about the millen
nium. We believe the moon does not
run in the same exact line ail the
time, and if we are mistaken wo wish
to be set right. It is our opinion that
the reason the moon does not run
ngninst some other body and kill that
old mnn who burnt brush on Sunday,
is because there are no other planets
within its orbit. Wo do not under
stand Bro. "Ripples’ ” fling at the
feminine portion of our population;
therefore, will not comment on it.
Farmers in our community are
through planting, nnd are plowing
their corn. We have had two or
three modest showers of rain within
the past five days, but nothing like a
season. Most of us planted our corn
with slight preparation; therefore,
we need a good season so that we can
break up the middles.
Wheat is looking fairly well, every
thing considered, but not so well as
at tills date last year. The early-
planted cotton is looking well. Bud-
worms are destroying lots of corn
now. We had good stands at first,
but there will be lots of it to replunt,
after all.
Mr. Jule Stallings, of Carroll, has
come over to his farm nenr St. Cloud
and is planting a crop there. He did
not gut a tenant for the farm is the
reason why lie lias returned to it.

A Religious Journal on Lynching.
Wesleyan Christian Advocate.
There is deep concern all over the
country because of the terrible lynch-
ings that have disturbed our peace.
Much of the concern, however, is not
according to wisdom, one way or the
other. These lyuchings have a par-
ternity reaching far back into the
past. That paternity starts in the
selfish greed for gain, in which the
Northern States had a large part when
they opened the slave trade. It was
propagated in the transmission of the
slaves to the South for long years. It
had n considerable impetus given it
in the great lynching expeditions
organized by John Brown, of unenvi
able fame.
Then came the folly of giving full
franchise to a large clasa of people
who, it was alleged, .had been for
years under no better training than
cruel barbarism, and calling on them
to assert their independence even to
the uttermost. This was taken by
them to mean that they were free and
therefore could rush into all sorts of
excesses, and that tbe most outrage
ous crimes might be committed with
the assurance that they would be de
fended by their boasted friends in tbe
North. When these crimes were
committed and violence was resorted
to in avenging them, much was said
and done to magnify the culpability
of the vengeance, while nothing, or
bnt little indeed, was said of the
crimes that provoked the vengeance.
And so the lynching spirit has been
continuously propagated, and is
propagated to-day.
Rheumatism Cured.

Pain Balm for rheumatism with great

A man who fractured his funny bone
concludes that it is not n funny matter.
He said: "The displacement of the
olecranon is accompanied by disable
ment of the whole arm for h long while.
WebHter describes the point as follows:
‘The large process at the proximal end
of the ulna which projects behind the
articulation with the humerus and
forms tiie bony prominence of the el
bow.' I have it with me. I fell on the
ice iu ]87ii and broke off my left funny
bone. It hurt, but I did riot knrfw what
hud happened for months, and then Dr.
Henry Fish of Fargo told me. It was
too late to do anything then except ex
ercise to bring my muscles into condi
tion.
"A new development set in then, and
tiie lower part of my forearm became
Hat. while the upper muscles developed.
At present i can pull or lift as much
with that arm as I could at any time,
but 1 cannot strike or push with it and
cannot exert downward pressure with
it at all, unless I hold my arm rigid
and put the weight of my body upon it.
I ci(ii scarcely hold a sheet of paper
upon my desk, and for fully 12 mouths
I could not use my left arm at all. Per
haps it was because I did not have
smgiciil attention soon enough. Recent
ly 1 had a radiograph made, and tiie
fragment of bone was clearly shown ly
ing loosely in the joint. After tiie frae-‘
ture two splinters protruded from the
skin and were removed.”
Slur Win.led to Know.
Of women who wear black some wo
men always have an air of recent be
reavement which misleads the ordinary
mind. At a railway station in this state
not long ago a tall woman robed in
deep block, accompanied by a young
woman in colored garb, sat waiting for
n train. Tiie station matron hovered in
tbe vicinity,' evidently with something
on her mind, and finally beckoned to tiie
young woman, who Went to see what
was wanted.
"Has she got a corpse with her?" the
station matron asked.
"Corpse?" the young woman ex
claimed, looking over her shoulder in
ghastly fright. “Who's got a corpse
with her? What do you moan?"
“Don’t be scared, lady," the matron
exclaimed. "Most of ’em that travels
in deep monrnin has corpses on tiie
train. I just wanted to know if your
lady had a corpse with her.”
"Goodness, no!" said tiie young wo
man. "Her husband's been dead 50
yenrH. Yon ought to be Hshamed to
shock people that way. Don't you ever
treat me Hint way again."
The station matron looked disap
pointed, and the young woman went
back and sat down without even feel
ing at liberty to tell the lady in black
wlint hud happened. — Indianapolis

President Drelier of Roanoke college
tells this story of the late Edward Aus
ten of Boston : "Meeting President Eliot
of Harvard some years ago, lie said,
with a familiarity warranted by a life
long acquaintance: ‘Stop. Charles.
Wlmt is the next building you WHUt at
Cambridge?'
"President Eliot replied. ‘Tiie build
ing we most need now is a new build
ing for the law school.’
" 'Oil,' said Mr. Austin. ‘I hate law
yers! But what do yon suppose such a
building would cost?’
"The president thought a moment
and. replied ■ ‘It would depend on tiie
material used. An adequate building
cl' brick could lie built for from $1)0,000
to $70,000.'
" ‘Are you sure,’ asked Mr. Austin,
‘that $100,000 would lie enough to pro
vide a thoroughly good building?’
“ ‘Yes,' replied tiie president.
“‘I'm your muu.'suid Mr. Austin."

"It is a surprising fact,” says Prof.

parts of tbe world, for the last ten
years, I have met more people having
used Green’s August Flower than any
other remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged
liver and stomach, and for constipa

men, or for persons filling office po
sitions, where headaches and generul

ist, that Green’s August Flower is a
grand remedy. It does not injure the

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to de
tect the sufferer from kidney trouble.
The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes,
the dark, puffy circles under the eyes,
the sallow parsnip-colored complex
ion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had
rheumatism, a dull pain or ache in
the back or over the hips, Rtomach
trouble, desire to urinate often, or a
burning or scalding sensation in pass
ing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once
repeated, or if the urine has a brick
dust deposit or strong odor,
i When these symptoqis are present,
no time should be lost iu removing
i the cause.
i Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh
j of the bladder, inflammation, causing
stoppage, and sometimes requiring
the drawing of the urine with instru
ments, or may run into Bright’s Dis
ease, the most dangerous stage of
kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great discovery of the eminent kidney
and bladder specialist, is a positive
remedy for such diseases. Its repu
tation is world-wide, and it is so easy
to get at any drug store that no one
need suffer any length of time for
want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test
its wonderful merits, mention The
Herald and Advertiser and write
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.

ing all about it, both sent absolutely

West Point Struck by Storm.
West Point,.Ga., May 8.—A cy
clone swept through the lower end of
this city last night, leaving destruc
tion in its path. The storm came up
from the southwest about 8:30 o’clock,
sweeping down trees and negro cab
ins. The carBhed of the Atlanta and
West Point railroad caught the full
force of the wind, which unroofed
about 100 feet of the southern part.
Planks and tin flew in all directions,
some of them being carried nearly
200 feet. Several large planks were
projected sidewise through the roof of
the Central House, while others were
stuck into the ground for nearly four
feet, showing the great force of tbe
wind.
After the storm jumped the river
its fury seemed to be nearly spent.
Services were being conducted at the
Baptist church by Rev. S. Y. Jame
son, of Atlanta, when the storm
struck this edifice. The building,
which is a new one, creaked and
groaned as if it would collapse. The
service was broken up and a panic
ensued. Children screamed and many
made a rush for the doors. Rev. Dr.
J. F. Eden, pastor of the church, ap
pealed for order, and quiet was finally
restored.
News reached the city this morning
of tiie death of several negroes in
Chambers county, they being killed
by the storm, but no news can be
confirmed, as the wires are all down,
and many stories of a conflicting na
ture are being circulated.
