fitrald and flflwfiser. NEWNAN, FRIDAY, FEB. 6. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. Dream of Glory Was Realistic. Now York American. 'Twhh the night before Christmas. About the Metropolitan Opera House surged the fashionable crowd that^had gathered from all parts of the United States and Canada to see Edwin Forrest Broadfoot make his first appearance be fore a New York audience. In the wingH stood the distinguished actor himself, richly garbed as Othello. He was cool and collected, although it was the great event of his life. For twenty years he had played the “tank towns” on the Mississippi Kiver circuit, though once he had played in the com pany of James Owen O’Connor in New ark. Hut always had he believed that New York was yearning for him, and now, proud moment, he could see through the peephole in the curtain the great audi ence yearn. The overture, which seemed intermin able, is at last over. The curtain is up. Cool and collected, magnificent in his bejeweled garb, certain of his success, enters Edwin Forrest Broadfoot. Immediately there is an uproar in the house. Edwin Forrest Broadfoot bows his appreciation, and then— Swat! Bight on his little bald spot some meally vegetable has struck him—just where he was hit once before by an un appreciative ruffian of Paris, Ky. Thick and fast these same meally tokens of appreciation come. Ih it possible that this is the fashionable au dience that he had dreamed of all his life? With a frantic gesture he threw himself toward the wings. Bump! It is all over. He has fallen out of bed. Mr. Broadfoot looked about him. The room was dark, and in place of the bejeweled costume of Othello he had only a nightshirt. Where was he? Ah. yes; now he remembered. ’Twin but a dream. He was really in New \ ork—that was true ; the opera house, the audience, all the rest was but the airy visitation of the night. Suddenly through the window there came a srnflll object which dropped at his feet. He picked it up ; it was a carrot. Near by was a potato slightly overripe- this part of the dream then was real also. Mr. Broadfoot sprang to the floor and gathering his nightshirt about him, the habit of a man who has worn a toga, rushed to the window. Out on Thirty- fourth street stood a man near a gar bage pail, whistling something that sounded much like ‘‘I’m a Waiting for You.” This then was the overture of which he had dreamed. “Here, what are you doing?” called out Mr. Broadfoot. It was bad enough to be made the recipient of decajed veg etables when you were acting in small, one-night stands, but when jou were peacefully sleeping doing no one any harm—it was too much. "It was not you,” called back the other man with a decided German ac cent. And up through the air came another tuber. "Police!” yelled Mr. Broadfoot, and just as the attacking party prepared to send forth another projectile, a blue- coated representative of the law came around Eighth avenue. Magistrate Finn, in the West Fifty- fourth street court, had listened sym pathetically to Mr. Broadfoot’s story of his disturbed slumbers. “Did this man explain to you why he was throwing things into your room?” he asked. “He did not, your Honor,” was the reply. “What explanation have you to offer for this strange conduct?” "It was nil a mistake,” stammered the defendant. ”1 was trying to make awake somebody on the second floor.” “Somebody, eh? Who is this some- Obituary. In the early dawn of Jan. 16 the spir it of our friend and neighbor, Mr. Jo seph Warren Dukes, took its flight from this home Ik-Iow to its home above. He was born in Henry county, (la., Dec- 17, T856; married to Miss Elizabeth Sanders thirty-two years ago. His life was spent on his farm in Coweta coun ty, on the banks of the Chattahoochee. Two years ago he moved to Newnan. Mr. Dukes possessed those qualities that go to the making of a man—un selfishness, truthfulness, honesty and sincerity. It can he truthfully said “that thus he bore without abuse the grand old name of gentleman.” He was a consistent member of the Bap tist church, and hiH daily vaik and con versation were such as to prove to all with whom he came in contact that he was a Christian. Miss Mulcch says: “No man is a true gentleman unless he is a true Christian.” He was both a Christian and a gentleman to the manor born. His relations as hus band and father were tender and gen tle. His loving and faithful wife will miss his companionship ; how truly was this union one of love and confidence ! His devoted daughter and sons will call him blessed indeed. His life was worthy of example; his sons can safe ly follow in his footsteps and emulate his virtues. As a neighbor he was kind, helpful and generous. His life before them was such as to impress them that Christianity is real -the one thing to be desired. As a citizen he ever looked to the welfare of his fel low-man, uplifting and helping as op portunity presented itself. Words of cheer and deeds of kindness were scat tered daily along life’s way. Husband, father, friend and neigh bor, we shall miss you. May your man tle of love and charity fall worthily on those nearest and dearest to you, so that when the call comes to each we may go to the eternal home, where we feel he hath gone. "Where he hath Rone Time doth not work in duyH its golden (light; 'Die sun is dimmed by heaven’s greater light, And there are never tears nor lonely night Where he hath gone. "Where he hath gone Thou, too, will go some day, if God so will; Ah. mel Poor words and pen are mute and still At thought of tin* trnndscendent, mutuul thrill Where soul meets soul, redeemed, yet loving still, Where he hath gone.” c. p. s.

Her husband. Rev. R. E. Pitman, preceded her to the grave several years ago. She joined Ebenezer church July 11, 1874, and remained a member thirty-four years. On Dec. 2, 1908, death came without warning. We sincerely deplore her,tragic death. "Be ye also ready, for in a time when ye think not, the Son of Man cometh.” She was ever ready to aid in the cause of spreading the gospel, when called upon. She leaves two sisters, a brother, two sons, and many friends and relatives to mourn her death. We extend our heart felt sympathy to the berett ones. May God bless anrl comfort them in their bereavement, knowing that He doeth all things for the good of them -that love Him. Let us bow in humble sub mission to His will, and prepare to meet her where there will be no more sorrow nor tears. Resolved, That a copy of this memo rial be sent The Herald and Advertiser for publication, and that the same be spread upon the minutes of the church. Mrs. J. D. Arnold, Mrs. J. H.

It is my lady friend. She tell me to whistle for her and she will come to the window. She don’t come and I try to wake her.” “Well, it seems to me, young man. that before you make another attempt of this kind you ought to go out to some ball field and practice up. I’ll discharge this man if you have no further com plaint to make against him, Mr. Broad foot.” "1 have no complaint, your Honor,” said the actor, “although it is very disagreeable to be waked from a sound sleep. ” ‘ ‘It depends on the kind of dreams that you are having, Mr. Broadfoot,” commented His Honor.

Holmes, 20 Fair street, Newnan, Ga., says : “My advice to all in need of a remedy for disorder ed kidneys is to get Doane’s Kidney Pills at Lee Bros’, drug store and try them. 1 am sure that no other remedy could have proven of more value than they did to me. For several years I was a victim of kidney trouble." My back ached terribly, and l was subject to frequent attacks of dizziness. The kid ney secretions were badly disordered; in fact, my general health was much run down. I took treatment at a min eral spring, and tried many advertised remedies but my condition failed to im prove. About two years ago I chanced to hear of Doan’s Kidney Pills, and be ing impressed in their favor, procured a box. They pr< mptly relieved me of the trouble. A few weeks ago 1 felt a slight lameness in my back, but on this occasion again used Doane’s Kidney Pills and was afforded just as prompt relief. ” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

Sorrow, with sable wings, has again hovered over our community. Death has stolen in and claimed for his own one of our most beloved brethren. Bro. B. V. Watson was born Aug. 14, 1886, and died Aug. 10, 1908. He has passed to the great beyond, where suffering is no more. Truly, a brother in Israel has fallen. We miss his kindly greetings and his presence. All who knew him loved him. All that a faithful physi cian and kind friends could do was in vain. Alas! our arms were too short. We could not stay the cold hand of Death. Bro. Watson had been a mom- bur of Moreland Baptist church for sev eral years, and now the church feels a great loss. He was a regular member of the .Sunday-school, and the teacher misses his bright face. To his father, mother and other relatives we would say. “Weep not, fur he is not dead for ever. but sleeping in the arms of Je sus.” He has gone before to await your coming, and, oh! what a glorious and happy meeting that will be! We know it is hard to endure the separation and cannot understand why it should be so. But some time, somewhere, in that beautiful after-awhile up there, we will understand. Dear father and mother, we commend you to his God, who is able and willing to save. God makes no mistakes. You will meet him in a brighter and better world, where God will wipe away all tears. On Aug. 11 he was laid to rest in the Moreland cemetery. A large concourse of relatives and friends followed his re mains to the grave. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. B. P. Searcy, who delivered a feeling and touching discourse. Therefore, be it — Resolved, That this memorial be spread on the minutes of the church, that a copy be furnished the family, and also sent to The Herald and Adver tiser for publication. J. M. Couch, J. F. York, W. E. Fuller, Committee. In Memory of Jimmie Speer. The living in all ages stand awe stricken in the presence of death. God's ways are past finding out, and it will be beyond this vale that we shall understand His great purpose in the dispensation of His providences. We dote on the strength and possibilities of our young men for good. God sees the endless future, and in His wisdom sees fit to transplant the flower while yet it is unfolding its bloom. Our faith in a loving and All-wise Creator shall not question or complain at His dealings, though mysterious they may seem in the valley of gloom through which we are sometimes called to pass. There fore, be it resolved— 1. That in the death of Bro. Speer, in the dawn of his young manhood, this church finds consolation only in that panacea for the sorrows of the soul in this world—leaning on God’s everlast ing arm. 2. That we tender our heartfelt sym pathy to the father, mother, sisters and other relatives in this sad bereavement. 3. That this memorial be inscribed in our minutes and a copy furnished the family of deceased. H. A. Martin, R. L. Pitts. J. D. Bexley, Committee. In Memory of Joe Brown. On the evening of Dec. 1, 1908, the Death Angel visited the home of my dear brother and bore to a home above his sweet spirit; but God needed him in that “house not made with hands;” —he was too pure for this sinful world. Oh. how we miss him! He was the light of the home and a joy to his fond wife and children. It is hard to think that never again on earth shall we hear his dear voice. God loaned us brother for such a short time; but “He doeth all things well;” “He giveih and He taketh away.” Some day we may un derstand why brother was taken from us. He suffered much, but now knows no pain. He is gone, and how sad the parting! It breaks our hearts to think that never again shall we see him on earth; but God grant that we may meet him where parting is no more, for he is waiting for us there—watch ing, waiting, and beckoning, “Come.” Sister Dollie. The new cook was helping her mis tress to prepare dinner. All went well until the maccaroni for the pudding was brought out. The cook glowed with surprise as she beheld the long white sticks. But when they were carefully placed in water she gave a choking gasp. “Did you say, missus,” she said, in an awed voice, “that you are goin’ to make puddin’ out of that?” “Yes, Jane,” was the rely, “that is what I intend to do. Have you never seen maccaroni cooked before?” “No, ma’am,” answered the cook, “1 ain’t. The last place 1 was at we al ways used them things to light the gas with.” —————- <*» True Womanly Beauty.

Magazine. j The liquor interests—from the dog gery to the trust—have fought the pro hibition movement at every step. They used every art known to practical poli tics. They tried the campaign of brass hand and skyrocket, the gum shoe and still hunt, the hard drive and the soft pedal—and got whipped. In the begin ning they fought the placing of any tax whatever upon liquor. They fought every proposition to increase the li cense; they fought the Sunday-closing laws; they fought in California for their inalienable right to sell whiskey to minors and to known drunkards. They fought the Five Mile laws; fought county local option ; they fought State-wide prohibition. They are now fighting, tooth and toenail, against the law proposed in Congress that the Fed eral Government shall no longer issue internal revenue licenses in communi ties where the sale of liquor is prohib ited by local law. They are now fight ing to maintain Uncle Sam’s partner ship with the blind tiger, wherein the majesty of the United States is held up as a shield to the dive-keeper and a protection to the outlaw. At practical ly every step they have been beaten. Thoroughly aroused at last to the danger that threatens their trade, the brewers and wholesalers are beginning to announce a general housecleaning. They say—in articulo morti9—that they want to put the dive out of business and keep their trade respectable. Laudable, but late. Years ago all good people would have welcomed the brew ers’ aid in stifling the dive. Now they will attend to the job themselves, ask ing permission neither of the dive-keep er nor the brewer. And they will do it in their own good way and time. HEALS SOMES No old sore exists merely because the flesh is diseased at that partic ular Mint ; if this were true simple cleanliness and local applications would heal them'. Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal readily, the blood is at fault ■ this vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are being constantly discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matter and irritating’and inflaming the nerves and tissues so the sore cannot heal. T] K .se impurities in the blood may be the remains of some constitutional trouble, the effect of a debilitating spell of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption by the blood of the fermented refuse matter which the bodily channels of waste have failed to remove. Again the cause may be hereditary, the diseased blood of ancestry being banded down to posterity ; but whatever the cause, the fact that the sore will not heal shows the necessity for the very best constitutional treatment. There is nothing that causes more worry and anxiety than an old sore which resists treatment. Every symptom suggests pollution and disease—the discharge, the red, angry looking flesh, the pain and in flammation, and the discoloration of surrounding parts, all show that deep down in the blood there are morbid and dangerous forces at work, con stantly creating poisons which may in the end lead to Cancer. Local applications are valuable only for their cleansing and antiseptic effects; they do not reach the blood, where the real cause is located, and can therefore have no real curative worth. S. S. S. heals old sores by going down to the fountain-head of the trouble and driving out the poison-producing germs and morbid matters which are keeping the ulcer open. It removes every particle of impurity from the cir culation and makes this life-stream pure, fresh and health-sustaining. Then as new, rich blood is carried to the place the healing begins, all discharge ceases, the inflammation leaves, new tissue and healthy flesh are formed, and soon the sore or ulcer is well. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood puri fiers and finest of tonics, just what is needed in the.treatment, and in addi tion to curing the sore will build up and strengthen every part of the system.

S. to any who are in need of a blood purifier,‘and especially as a remedy for sores and obstinate ulcers. In 1877 I had my leg badly cut on the sharp edge of a barrel, and having on a blue woolen stocking the place was badly poisoned from the dye. A great sore formed and for years no one knows what I suffered with the place. I tried, it seemed to me, everything I had ever heard of, but I got no relief and I thought I would have to go through life with an angry, discharging sore on my leg. At last I began the use of S. S. S., and it was but a short time until I saw that the place was improving. I continued it until it removed all the poison from my blood and made a complete and permanent cure of the sore. JNO.
