They DJ Oi On Oi ar e a severe drain upon the system, and are con stantly sapping away the vitality. In every case the poison must he eliminated from the blood, and no amount of external treatment can have any effect. There is no uncertainty about the merits of S. S. S. ; every claim made for it is backed up strongly by convincing testimony of those who have been cured by it and know of its virtues by experience. Mr. L. J. Clark, of Orange Courthouse. V,a., writes: " For six years I had an obstinate, running ulcer on my ankle, which at times caused me intense sufferin''. L was .so disabled for a long while that I was wholly untit for . business. One of the bent doctors treated me constantly but did me no good. I then tried various blood remedies, without the least benefit. S. S S. was so highlv recom mended that I concluded to try it, and the effect was wonderful. It seemed to get right at the seat of the ilisease and force the poison out, and I was soon com pletely cured." Swift’s Specific— 8. 8. 8.

Whom the world condemned for a single sin: They enst her out on tlie King's highway And passed her by as they went to pray. He was a man. and more to blame, But the world spared him a breath of shame: Beneath his feet he saw her lie. But raised his head and passed her by. They were the people who went to pray At the temple of God on a holy day; They scorned the woman, forgave the man: It were ever thus since the world began. Time passed on and the woman died— i Mi I lie Cross of Shame she was crucified ; lit.il the world was stern and would not yield, And they buried her in Potter's Field. The man died, too, and they buried him In a casket of cloth with a silver rim, And said, as they turned from his grave away, “We have Intried an honest man to-day." Two mortals, knocking at Heaven's gate, Stood face to face to impure their fate: He carried a passport with earthly sign, But she a pardon from hove Divine.

The County Seat of Coweta, and a City of Wealth and Refinement. Hon. P. A. Stovall in Savannah Press. The town of Newnan, Ga., 40 miles from Atlanta, la one df the most in teresting little cities in the State. It is the county site of Coweta and con tains something like 4,000 people. It is surrounded by a pretty farming country, and is situated upon a hill, which gives it a picturesque appear ance. It is not a new town. It has been in existence ever since the At lanta and West Point railway was con structed, possibly before, and is one of the wealthiest and most cultured communities in Georgia. In propor tion to population it is the sixth wealthiest town in the State and ranks sixteenth in the United States. It is a place of old families, of comfortable homes, of beautiful trees, and hand some churches. The people are em inently religious, and give liberally of their means to support congregations and erect elegant sanctuaries. On one side of the city, embowered in a grove of cedars, is the building where the College Temple was taught by Prof. Kellogg so many years. With the death of this eminent in structor the seminary where many Georgia girls were educated has ceased to exist. A few blocks away stands the brick public school build ing, with all modern equipments, rep resenting the new departure and modern methods of public education. There are about COO children, white and black, taught by Prof. Wood ward and his assistants. The public schools are sustained by the appro priation from the State school fund, with a tuition of 50c. a month for each child of both races. This runs the system without local taxation. Prof. Woodward, who was once president of the Middle Georgia Me chanical and Agricultural College at Milledgeville, is principal of the New nan schools. He has been a student at the University of Chicago, and is a man of dignity, earnestness, learning, and executive ability. One of his right-hand men who has charge of the department of mathematics and phys ics is Prof. Gaertner, a graduate ot a German university. Newnan regrets that she is about to lose this valuable young teacher. He has been to a professorship at Dahlonega,, Newnan is a town of diversified in dustries. Her people recognise that these are the making of a city, and home capital has been invested to ad vantage. Tjjq peuple Lave not waited for ovLultto Wlfcouragement. There is Tt. D. Cole Manufacturing Com pany, for making boilers and turning out sash and blinds. It employs iso hands. The Coweta Fertilizer Com pany’s factory turns out 15,000 tons of guano a year. W. S. Askew & Co. have wood works, besides a large flour ing mill. W. A. Dent has a success ful buggy and wagon factory. Then there- is a large canning and crate factory, for Newnan is surrounded by fruit lands; a cigar factory, and ia flourishing cotton mill. The latter has been running ten years and has paid steadily 8 per cent, divi dends, besides doubling its capacity and putting aside a surplus. Six miles from Newnan is a model little settlement by the name of More land. It is the home of the peach, grape, plum, and strawberry. The latter are now in full bearing, and the specimens are as fine as any raised in Georgia. This year the peaches have missed, of course, but there will be plenty of grapes and plums, and then in the fall the nuts are in abundance and in the spring the flowers. All the trains stop near the water-tank at Moreland, and it is said that at every season of the year the people have something to sell. If the fruits and flowers and nuts are gone, there are hard-boiled eggs. Newnan and At lanta furnish the market for all these products. There is a nursery for young plants and trees, and more money.is made on them than in growing 5c. cotton. It is said that one farmer made $100 upon one acre in straw berries alone. Seven miles from Newnan on the other side, towards Atlanta, is the Coweta Fruit Furm, with its clean orchards and wide vine yards, covering 1,000 acres. The farmers of Coweta, the best of them,' have already learned the lesson of raising cotton as a surplus crop. They grow their own corn and save their own meat. The fruit brings in ready money in the summer, then the cotton is worked off as an nfterm’nth in the fall. No wonder Newnan and Coweta make up a community of well-to-do and prosperous people. A little settlement like Moreland, that j always has something to sell—which 1 never allows a train to pass, day or j night, at any season, without making a few nickelR—is a model settlement. The richest strawberries in the South nre gathered there every inoruing, and even the hickory nuts and hard- boiled eggs are said to be the best in the market. Ex-Gov. Atkinson and family have just returned to Newnan, after four years spent in the Executive Man sion. In the fall of 1804 Mr. Atkin son left his little home on Greenville street to live on Peachtree. His ad ministration was clean and strong, and now he returns to his native coun ty an older, broader, and a stronger man. He lias occupied a big place in the public eye since he made his won derful campaign for Governor as the “Wagon Boy” and narrowly missed a seat in the United States Senate, which his friends believe he will yet win. He has opened his law office again, and is already building up a good practice. Busiuesa will come to him, for he is industrious, able and thrifty, with a cool judgment and a judicial turn of mind. The promi nence and experience of his guber natorial terms have added to his rep utation and will aid him at the bar. His name lias been mentioned for the position of Chancellor of the Univer sity, but he has announced that he prefers the active life of his profes sion. He is young and brainy, and has many more years to his credit than most men who have left the of fice of Governor. Gov. Atkinson’s main idea now seems to be to build himself up in bis profession. Some of his friends believe he intends ulti mately to return to politics. They think his settlement in Newnan, hie old home, shows this. Gov. At kinson, they explain, could have made more money by opening a law office in Atlanta, but then he might have been lost in the rank and file of well-to-do lawyers, as so many prom inent men have done who have left their homes and moved to Atlanta from different parts of the State. If W. Y. Atkinson has any such ambi tion he gives no sign. He is hard at work in his law office, and he and his family have once more become active factors' in the social and progressive life of Newnan. Mrs. Atkinson is busy with her churoh work, literature, clubs, and library missions, while the e*-Governor enjoys bis ease at night on his quiet front porch, with a friend a,nd a cigar, thankful that the tele phone doesn’t disturb his slumber or that office-seekers do not, throng hit doer. “A word to the wise is sufficient,” find a word from the wise should be sufficient; but you ask, who are the wise? Those who know. The pit*re- peated experience Of trwtfworthy persons may be taken for knowledge. Mr. W. M. Terry says Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy gives better, satisfac tion than any ’other in the market. He has been in the drug business at Elkton, Ky., for twelve years; has sold hundreds of bottles of this reme dy and nearly all other cough medi cines manufactured, which* shows conclusively that Chamberlain’s is the most satisfactory to the people, and is the best.

He shaved and primped and resolved to marry every day in the year for forty years. But when the time for love’s duel arrived, when he stood trembling in the presence of rosy cheeks and glancing eyes, and beauty shook her curls and gave the chal lenge, his courage always oozed out, and be fled ingloriously from the field of honor.—[Bob Taylor.

Au army nurse, but lately returned from Cuba to Washington, declares that never again will she go into a, country whose language she cannot understand. It was before hostilities had come to a definite end that she was startled oue day by the unex pected visit of her Cuban laundress. The woman was intensely excited. Anxiety sat on her brow and sorrow dwelt in her eyes. She gesticulated, and she talked. The nurse knew not a word of what she Bnid, but the pan tomime filled her with terror. Tho Cuban’s hands seemed to speak of an attack on the hospital—of wounded men butcjiered nnd nurses cut to rib bons. The nurse was frantic. She must know the worst. In the hos pital was an officer very ill with ty phoid fever. She knew lie understood Spanish. Only in a matter of life or death would site disturb him, but this was obviously a matter of life or death. She led tho Cuban woman to the bedside, and there the story was repeated. The officer listened intent ly. The nutse held her breath. Tho Cubau censed. The sick man turned his head ou the pillows. “She says,” he whispered feebly, “she says the stripes ou your pink shirt waist have run, nnd she doesn’t know what to do with it.” The same nurse confesses to having been desperately homesick down in Cuba. “It gave me ty*,blues,” she said, “not to be able ;^V tfiako even the children understand me, and one day, one indigo day, a great, big, sleek cat walked into my room. I was glad to find something that could understand me. “ ‘Kitty, kitty, kitty t’ I said. The cat didn’t turn its head. “ ‘Pussy, pusByl’ I said. The cat took no notice. The cat—the very cat spoke Spanish. It wns more than I could bear. I couldn’t even call a cat.” It makes no difference how bad the wound if you use DeWHt’s Witch Ha zel Salve; it will quickly heal and leave no scar. G. R. Bradley. Duties of Daily Life. Life Is not entirely made up of great evils or heavy trials; but the perpet ual recurrence of petty evils and small trials in the ordinary and ap pointed exercise of the Christian graces. To bear with the failings of those about us—with their infirmities, their bad judgment, their perverse tempers; to endure neglect when we feel we deserve attention, and ingrat- itude when we expect thanks; to bear with the company of disagreeable people whom Providence has placed in our way and whom he has provided on purpose for the trial of our virtue, these are the best exercises of pa tience and self-denial and the better because not chosen by ourselves. To bear with vexation in business, with disappointment in our expecta tion, with interruptions of our retire ment, with folly, intrusion, disturb ance—in short, with whatever op poses our will or contradicts our hu mor—this habitual acquiescence ap pears to be more of the essence of self-denial than any little rigors or af-' flictions of our own imposing. These constant, inevitable, but inferior evils properly improved, furnish a good moral discipline, an<^ might, in the days of ignorance, hqy.e superceded pilgrimage and pepance.

Occasionally (well, wf might as well be honest and say frequently,) mistakes ‘ are found In newspapers, and then the finder splurges around and makes more noise than a Klon- diker upon finding a new streak of pay dirt. The bank makes a mis take, and no one hears of it except the officers, the clerk and the man who profited thereby, yet none of them ever say a word. The mer chant makes a mistake, but he never tells of it unless placed upon the wit ness stand. The lawyer makes a mis take, but he wiggles and twists until he finds another section of law that enables him to smother the whole business in an appeal to a higher tri bunal.' The doctor makes a mistake, but the undertaker and the sexton pile dirt on it so no one can ever see. The politician makes a mistake, but he plays the part of Ananias and lays it at the door of the other fellow. But the newspaper man—'heaven help him! He puts it on a sheet of white paper for the whole world to 1 look at, and it cannot be erased or hidden from view.

A hitherto unpublished story of Stonewall Jackson is told by former Gov. Thomas G. Jones. Gov.- Jones was a student at the Virginia Military Institute when Jackson was professor there at the outbreak of the war be tween the States. Jackson was rather a stern disciplinarian. Jones had been at the institute for two or three years, nnd had come to be a sergeant of the cadets. He had one day to drill an awkward squad, and lost his temper in his work; whereupon he made the boys “double-quick” around a tree. He had them “going it hard,” when suddenly lie heard from behind him the short, sharp command, “Double-quick, there!” “Double- quick,” repeated the wrathful future Governor of Alabama. “No! you, si*! Halt!” Jopcs looked behind him, and there stood “Old Jack,” ns Jackson was called hj^the boys. “You, sir 1 You double-quick your self!” Jones looked at his superior officer in amazement. “Double-quick!” was the 1 stern command, and instantly Sergeant Jones wns trotting around the tree at a great rate, hot, thoroughly nant, nnd furiously angry. Hit-:’ awkward squad looked on. Within nn hour Jones had sent In his resignation. In answer be re ceived an invitation to sup at Jack- son’s home. He declined. Then came an order for him to report to , Jackson instantly. That Order was obeyed. After some tallf, Jones said: “fiut you, sir,' humiliated me before my men?” “You lost your temper,” Bald Jack- son, calmly, “and, besides, you for get that you are not an officer at all!” That ended the trouble, and now no body more reverences the memory oC “Old Jack” than Gov. Jones. Gi.zing dreamily at the “God-Bless- Our-Home” paBtel on the wall, the boarder with the freckles on his nose- continued: “Yes, it really gives me great pleasure to nbtice that the but- ’ter is convalescing!” The man with the barbedi-wir» beard looked unhappy, and an ex pression of contempt, not unmixed, however, with curiosity, flitted across the face of the landlady. • “Convalescing I ” she replied;; “what do you mean?” The man with the yellow whiskers smiled expectantly. The man with tiie freckles on his nose nerved himself for the ordeal, and replied: “Because it grown stronger every day!” During the excitement that followed the man with the double chin helped himself to the last slice of brpad on the table.—[Baltimore American.
