fieraid and fldwnuer. NKWNAN, FRIDA Y, MAR. 12. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. Capt. Henry A. North. It is not my purpose to write an ex tended obituary of my friend and com rade, Capt. Henry A. North, but, from a personal knowledge derived from the close social relations that existed be tween us for years, to say a few sim ple words expressive of my love and respect for the man whose tried worth, whose genial character, whose warm heart and generous friendship endeared him to all who knew him living, and now forces us out of honest truth to pay tribute to his memory when dead. 1 had known him for many years, and learned to admire his character, which was one of sincerity and unaf fected simplicity, determination of purpose, and honesty of intent -quali ties which could not fail to appeal to the appreciation of all with whom he was brought in contact. His kindness of heart was proverbial. Nothing pleased him more than tu be able to perform a clever act for his friends, and do it in his own unassuming way. 1 can never forget his kindly ministra tions at my father’s and my own home during times of affliction and death. Five deaths occurred in my family. He and his good wife were present on each of these sad occasions, and assist ed in preparing our loved ones for burial. 1 can never forget such a friend as long as the days are allotted me on earth. Capt. North was born in Coweta county Dec. 2!), 1829, and at the time of his death was nearly 80 years of age. He was reared in the country, where he spent all his life, with the exception of three years, when he served in the Confederate army. He organized a company of cavalry which was subsequently known as Co. K, 1st Ga. Cavalry. A review of his war re cord should be left to some of his old company—J. B. Walker, .1. D. Arnold, .las. M. Glass, Robt. F. Hunter, N. A. North and others. But, knowing him as well as 1 did. I am convinced that no braver man ever drew sword in de fense of his country, and no truer pa triot ever espoused a cause with more devotion, lie was offered promotion several times, but he loved so well the hoys who enlisted under him that he refused to leave them. Modesty was one of his characteristic traits. When the struggle ended he. along with the rest of us, accepted the situation as best we could, returned to our homes, and tried t?> build up the waste places of our desolated country. While our cause did not succeed, and the South ern Cross sank slowly but proudly be low the horizon, lie still maintained and contended until the day of his death for the principles for which he had fought. \ But I must pause. The principles of the man need no attestation from me. They are known where he was known; -they cannot lie disguised or hidden from sight, but, like the stars in a cloudless night, they will continue to shine while time shall last. The last sad rites which marked his sepulture were solemnized at the church of which he had been a member for many years. The funeral was con ducted by Rev. V. A. Ham, of New- nan, assisted by Rev. R. M. Stevens, his pastor. Several veterans made short talks commemorative of their dead friend and comrade. The church was tilled to overflowing, showing the high esteem in which he was held. The week he died I passed him in the road. Little did I think then that it would be the last time 1 would see him alive. The only thing I can add is to say; You were a good friend and a true man. Good-bye ! You will never be forgotten by those who had sounded the breadth and depth of your noble soul. John B. Goodwyn. In the Spani9h-Amorican War. During the Spanish-American War many of our soldiers suffered severely from cramp in the stomach and bowels, due in most cases to the change of cli mate and the water they were obliged to drink. Mr. Geo. A. Lake, of Dennison, Tex as, gives an interesting account of how he came to the relief of some of the men in his regiment: “Just as 1 was starting for the war,” says Mr. Lake, “Mr. Davis gave me h large bottle of Sloan's Liniment. 1 used it in our troop at Camp Mobrey for cramps and dysentery among the men. It took fine ly and lots of the hoys of Troop L, lsl Tex. Cav., U. S. V.. will never forget the name of Sloan's Lpiiment. One case in particular was our bugler. Fred Ormsley: he was cramped until he could hardly stand it. 1 gave him a ! dose of Sloan's Liniment and in five j minutes lie was up and ready to go on j with the troop.’’ Every druggist carries Sloan’s Lini ment in stock. You can get it in 25c.. 5dc. or $1 sized bottles. It’s a good thing to have in the house for rheuma tism, toothache, sore throat, asthma and any pain or stiffness. Some one bad given little Willie a pocket compass. His teacher was carefully explaining the different points. “See,” said she, “you have the north in front of you. the east to your right, and the west to our left. Now, what have you behind?” Little Willie pondered for a moment. “There,” said he, “1 knew some one would see that patch, but mother says I must wear these trousers for a month yet.” Scheme lo Provide Homes and Land Making Home Happy. for Negroes. I Ohio State Journal. Albany Hr-rnid. | What the boy said about the potato A comprehensive and far-reaching and the salt—that salt wa3 something plan to provide homes and farms for that made the potato taste bad if you people of the negro race is about to be J didn’t put it on- may he applied to launched here by leaders in the great home and the weather in this way, that negro fraternity, the Supreme Circle of Benevolence. Those cognizant of the details of the plan are firm in the conviction that it carries promise of incalculable benefit to the negro race in this section, and that by precept and example it will carry the good work to other portions of the South. The Supreme Circle of Benevolence has accomplished a great work for the negro race in a large territory. It has twenty-two thousand members, and has probably donejnore for the uplift of the race than any other one factor wherever its influence has been felt. Not the least of the good things it has done is to save from paupers’ graves the bodies of thousands of its dead, who have been given decent and respectable burial. The plan is to call a meeting of the men and women of the order on April 15, at Albany, the birth-place of the order. In the words of Joe Watson, supreme advocate of the Circle, “It was here the foundation was laid that snatched the dead bodies of our fathers and mothers from paupers’ graves and had them laid away in their last reBt- ing-place of unbroken sleep as they should be, respectably; and it is here that the foundation must be laid that will procure for them homes, and that is why the meeting is called at Albany, which is Georgia’s greatest city for ne gro advancement.” The Supreme Circle of Benevolence has enough leaders of influence and power among the people of the race to make this plan a success, and it is pre dicted that it will do great things for the negro population and be a benefit to the agricultural interests of the sec tion in which it will operate. The plan is to raise among the mem bers of the Circle $110,000 with which to start the great work. With that amount of money it is intended to buy 20,000 acres of farm land. This is to be divided into 400 farms of 50 acres each, which would give homes to 400 negro farmers at the start. These farmers would he allowed seven years in which to pay for the farms, by pay ing 1,000 pounds of good middling cot ton each year, which is no more than they now have to pay for rental of lands to which they never acquire title. The cotton paid in as rental is to be sold and the proceeds applied to the purchase of additional lands, which in turn will ho sold on the same plan, thus creating a sort of "endless chain” which at the end of the seventh year will have provided 1.720 60-acre farms for as many negro farmers, with cot ton receipts of 3,440 bales of cotton, aggregating $137,500, or with $27,6,00 in actual cash more than the* company started with, and an undivided interest in 66,000 acres of land, with 400 homes for 400 negro families absolutely paid for. The plan is stirring up unusual en thusiasm among the membership of the great negro benevolent society, and if the men and women who have made such a great success of the Supreme Circle of Benevolence do not also make a success of this ambitious new project their white friends will he surprised and disappointed. LIFE ISN’T WORTH LIVING. This Statement May Be Generally Attributed to the Lack of Good Health. Wo want the people who are ner vous, who suffer frequent headaches, who don’t enjoy their food, who are ir ritable, quickly lose their temper, are so tired and worn out that they feel that they must give up, and have be come so despondent that life doesn’t seem worth living. We know exactly what is the matter with people in this condition, and if they will follow our advice we can tell them how to regain good health and that bouyancy of feel ing which makes life seem all sun shine and happiness. Most of the above described condi tions are chiefly caused by catarrhal inflammation of the mucous membranes. This delicate web-like lining of the body becomes inflamed and congested until weakness and mental depression follow. The only way that this can be overcome is through a treatment of the blood. We have the treatment, and we are so positive that it will produce the results we claim for it that we will supply it to anyone with the under standing that we will return to them every penny they paid us in every in stance where the treatment is not in every way satisfactory and beneficial to them. We want you to try Rexnll Mueu- Tone, which is a powerful nutritive tonic and body builder, and a mucous membrane alterative that cleanses these membranes and restores their natural and healthy functions. Rexall Mueu-Tone drives out all the catarrhal poison, restoies the mucous cells to good health, tones up the whole system, allays inflammation, re moves congestion, and stimulates the whole system to healthy activity. It is splendid for building up flesh and muscle tissue and removing all weak nesses. Come to our store to-day and get a bottle of Mucu-Tone. and after giving it a reasonable trial, if you are not sat isfied simply tell us so, and we will hand back your money without ques tion. Surely, nothing could be more fair than this. Holt & Cates Co., New- nan, Ga. Two sizes, 50c. and $1. home made this weather awfully dis mal if you don’t hurry and get there. So bad weather has its uses. It makes home the happiest place on earth. If outdoors was not damp and dreary one might sometimes forget how sweet home is. In the springtime when the bluebirds are caroling up in the blossoming cherry tree, and the soft south wind is blowing over the grass, one is apt to turn indoors with a sigh and look with a touch of disdain on the old hearthstone and the table dishev eled with books and magazines. But when the raging clouds hurl gusts of rain and snow at the earth and the air is packed with chills, then home looms up as a little heaven, to which he is bound with all his might. Then is manifest the force of what Dr. Lyman Abbott says in a recent Outlook editorial—“in a sacred church or in a more sacred home”—and if the church is our road to heaven the home is a lit tle farther ahead, if it is the right sort of home, which it is apt to be in this sort of weather. How Do You Feel? Do you experience a sense of weari ness in excess of the natural tiredness justified by your labor? Do you lack natural ambition, and have spells of despondency, with dark forebodings of the future? Do you worry about really unimportant matters, and feel cross and fretful at times? St. Joseph’s Liv er Regulator is what you need, either liquid or powders, as you prefer. It will better your condition. The liquid sells at 50 cents a bottle, powders at 25 cents a box, by druggists and general merchants. She—“They say there is a fool in every family.

Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal readily, the blood is at ft; this vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are being i mtantly discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matter and irritating and inflaming the nerves and tissues so the sore cannot heal. These 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 tile bodily channels of waste have failed to remove. Again the cause may be hereditary, the diseased blood of ancestry being handed down to posterity 1 but whatever the cause, the fact that the sore will not heal shows ihe necessity for the very best constitutional treatment. There is nothing that causes more worry and anxiety than an old sore which resists treatment, livery symptom suggests pollution 1 and disease—the discharge, the red, j angry looking flesh, the pain and in- I (lamination, 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.

In 1877 1 had my leg badiy 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.
