New York Tim- . F. Von Gheel Gildmeester, chief en- Kineer of the Cape Town-Cairo Railway Syndicate, now in charge of the opera tions, which, within a few years, will form the connecting link between North and South Africa, is stopping at the Waldorf-Astoria. He is in the Uni ted States to make a study of the rail way systems of this country. “In the Cape Town-Cairo railways,” said Mr. Gildmeester, “there is at present a stretch of about 2,500 miles to be completed. It lies between Kar- toum in the British Egyptian Soudan, to Boken Hill, a point in Rhodesia. It is estimated that this remaining mile age will be completed within three | ve teran years, and then the longest railroad in 1 the world, covering in the neighbor hood of 6,400 miles, will be finished. “What do I estimate the total cost to be? Very close to £200,000,00(1, or about $1,000,000,000, I should say, hut a comparatively small amount when it is considered what a glorious thing it will be for Africa, one of the greatest and richest countries of the world. It will be possible for the traveler to journey from lierlin or Paris to Cape Town in ten or eleven days—just think of that! And then it will open up a country that is rich in almost everything in the min eral world gold, silver, copper and dia monds. What else they will find there remains to he seen. "It’s a great work, is this building of the longest railway, and what it all means to Africa and the world is not fully appreciated, I am afraid. To the business man, to be found everywhere, and especially those having affairs in Africa, it will be a wonderful thing. Where now, in traveling from Paris, for example, he is compelled to take a long sea trip, he will be able, after the completion of the road, to take train to Brindisi, Italy, thence by boat to Al exandria, Egypt, a short journey to Cairo, where he will take the train that will land him in Cape Town, at the southern extreme of Africa, all in elev en days. At the present time we are working in a rather disagreeable coun try that is to say, a country which has a fair climate, hut fever is quite prevalent. The engineers on the work are German, American and English, with, of course, the Kaffir as the la boring factor.” bhrg Baptist Church. On Feb. 17, 1609, death entered the home of Bro. Henry A. North and bore his spirit away to the God who gave it. In his death the world has lost a noble citizen -one who ever stood for civic righteousness. He was horn in Cowe ta county, Ga., on Dec. 20, 1829. He joined the Baptist church at Ebenezer on Aug. 8, 1847, by experience, and was baptized by Rev. Nathan H. Wil liams. On Aug. 10, 1875, he was dis missed from Ebenezer church by letter, and was one of the charter members to organize the church at Sharpsburg on Aug. 26, 1875, where he finished his service as a faithul soldier of he Cross. His heart was full of sympathy and goodness. He was married to Miss Ju lia Arnold. As a husband he was faith ful ; as a father, tender and affection ate; as a neighbor and friend, kind- hearted and true; as a Christian, he was earnest and devoted. He was a f the Civil War, serving throughout that memorable conflict as captain of Co. K, 1st Ga. Cav., and his record for gallantry and devotion to duty was not eclipsed by that of any soldier who enlisted in the cause of the Confederacy. He leaves the following children to mourn his departure: L. D. North, Ashford, Ala. ; W. H. North, Newnan; Mrs. Sallie Miller, Farm- dale; and Mrs. Ed Pitman, Sharps burg. The funeral took place from the First Baptist church at Sharpsburg, and was largely attended. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. V. A. Ham, of Newnan, assisted by Rev. R. M. Stephens, his pastor. In view of these facts be it resolved — 1. That in the death of Rro. North the First Baptist church of Sharpsburg has sustained a very great loss. 2. That we bow in humble submis sion to the will of Him “who doeth all things well. ” 3. That we extend our sincere sym pathy to his family and bereaved ones. 4. That a copy of these resolutions he spread upon the minutes of our church book, and also sent The Herald and Advertiser for publication. Respectfully submitted, Miss Lizzie Haines, ,1. R. B.

Recently she sought out the doctor to whom she confided her opinion that, in lu>r present condition, she ought to go to Hot Springs for treatment. "The very thing,” agreed the doctor. “I was thinking of that myself. I’ll give you a letter to a friend of mine there, a most skillful physician, and I’m quite sure he’ll take good care of you.” The next da.v as the patient sat in her Pullman thinking it over it oc curred to her that as long as her broth er-in-law had attended her he had nev er given her any precise statement re garding her ailment. Accordingly, she decided to open the sealed letter which he had addressed to. the Hot Springs doctor, in order to gain the desired in formation. The friends who accompa nied her endeavored to dissuade her from this step, urging that it would constitute a breach of confidence, but their counsel proved of no avail, and the patient proceeded to read: “Dear Hallett: Keep the old lady a month and send her back.” To Wear Brown Jeans to Brown’s In augural. Douglas, Ga., May 7. On June 24 twenty or more automobiles will leave Douglas loaded to their full capacity with members of the Coffee County Joe Brown Club to attend the Governor's inauguration on June 26. Each member will be dressed in a suit of Joe Brown brown colored cloth, manufactured in Georgia at the Marietta mills, the Gov ernor-elect's home town. Each auto mobile will have on each side in large display letters: "Coffee County Joe Brown Club.' ’ They will leave Douglas at 6 a. m., breakfast at Fitzgerald, lunch at Macon and take dinner at 7 p. m. in Atlanta. Hon. Frank L. Sweat, Joe Brewer and other anient partisans have worked faithfully to this end. ! Another large Coffee county delegation will attend in a special over the A.. B. & A. railway. A fine old preacher died in Kentucky the other day -a preacher of an extinct type. For fifty years he had been the pastor of the same church. In season and out he was always in his pulpit. He christened the babies, married the young lovers, prayed with the sick and buried the dead ; and never during the long service did he charge a fee or re ceive a cent of salary. He tilled a small farm with his own hands and thus made a living for himself and family, and gave his services to God for the glory of His cause without money and without price.—Savannah News. Knew Him Well. Tit Hits. Not long since the notice "Court ad journed sine die” was posted on the door of a certain court. Some gentle man with an artistic and highly trained sense of humor added a "d” to the word “die” and went on his way rejoicing. Next day a person who makes a prac tice of haunting the public buildings and professes acquaintance with every well-known man in the vicinity dropped into the clerk’s office. “See here,” said he, “when did Sine shullle off this mortal coil?” “What's that'.’” demanded the aston ished clerk. “When did Sine die? I see the courts are closed on account of it.” "Oh!” said the clerk, pulling him self togetner, “he died yesterday. Did you know him?” “Know him? I should say 1 Sky. Savannah ProaH. A strange and unusually interesting phenomenon was witnessed at Jones Station, in McIntosh county, on Friday afternoon by Mrs. A. H. Lane, of Sa vannah, and Mrs. Myra Baker and sev eral other ladies at the home of the latter. It was late in the afternoon, nearly sunset, in fact, when one of the ladies exclaimed: “What is that?” and pointing to the sky in the north all saw the word ”God” as plainly as they had ever be held it in print. The letters were large and appeared clearly on the sky, last ing for at least thirty seconds. The G disappeared, followed by the O, and finally the IJ laded from view. The la dies were awe-stricken at what they had seen, and believed that it was something of the supernatural which they could not understand. All of the ladies who witnessed the phenomenon are positive it was no op tical illusion. Mrs. Lane is the wife of Justice A. H. Lane, of Savannah, and the others are well known ladies of McIntosh county. On Sundiay afternoon another inter esting phenomenon appeared in the sky at Jones Station at sunset, when the sky was overcast in a reddish light which bathed the earth and trees and houses and people in some wonderful and unseemly color. This lasted for several minutes, and was one of the most interesting sights ever seen in that section. did! Knew his father before him. Too bad, ain’t it?” And Sine’s bereaved friend passed out with his burden of sorrow. “Look here, doctor,” said the ex- patient, coming into the physician’s of fice with a determined expression, “I’ve just had 'the X-Rays turned on me, and 1 find that when you operated on me you left a pair of surgical scissors in me.” “Bless me!” said the specialist. “I had missed them. Thank you so much, my good man. 1 will add their cost to your bill.” DOCTORS MISTAKES Are said often to lie buried six feet under ground. But many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from lwart disease, another from liver or kid ney disease, another from nervous pros tration, another with pain here and there, and in this wav they present alike to themselves and their easy-going or over busy doctor, separate diseases, for which he. assuming them to be such, prescribes his pills and potions. In reality, they are all only »|/i)ipfoiim caused by some uterine disease. The'physician, ''kinorant of the cause of suffer! ngUNeps uprK»ureatment until large bills are mVile.

Senoia Notes. Senoia Enterprise-Gazette, 13th inst Miss Nona Cotter, of Newnan, was the recent guest of Mrs. H. L. Ware. Dr. R. M. Tench, who has been with his brother at Gainesville, Fla., for the past several weeks, returned home Friday. The many friends of Miss Nan Sims will be pleased to learn that she has been elected district secretary of the Woman’s Home Missionary Society of the Griffin district. There is very little cotton left in the warehouses here now. The last large lot was shipped out this week. Far mers need pay no attention to the little advance in price, however, as it will drop again when the market gets crowded next fall. Mr. E. H. Powers has been in Macon for several days on business connected with the Georgia Life Insurance Co., which was formally organized in that city Tuesday. Mr. Powers was made a director in the company, which bids fair to do a most excellent business. It starts off with $1,000,000 capital, and a number of good men to push it. The board of trustees of Brantly In stitute met this week and unanimously re-elected Miss Raiford Snead principal of the school for another year. Her work here has been most satisfactory to the trustees and patrons, as was ev idenced by the large attendance the past year and her re-election without opposition. The other teachers will likely be chosen for another year also, as they too have given entire satisfac tion. The wideawake and energetic women of the Parsonage Aid and Home Mis sion Societies of the Methodist church are remodeling the church. The walls have been tinted a beautiful old rose color, ami as the light softly creeps through the newly-stained windows and casts its lovely rays upon the highly polished floor it reminds one of being in the grand old cathedrals we read about of long ago, where visionary phantoms played, and one is lost in wonder and amazement at the beautiful sight. At any rate, the work of re modeling is good. The aisles and chan cel will be carpeted, and when finished the church will compare favorably with any of the city churches. A Sure Remedy for Horse Colic. Colic in horses is a very common dis order. More valuable horses die every year from colic than from any other complaint, simply because they have not been treated properly. Sloan’s Sure Colic Cure is a safe and sure rem edy for colic or tympanitis. It acts in stantly on the stomach and bowels and gives immediate relief. Mr. Albert Pahlman, Pocomoke City, Md., writes: “Last November your Fever Remedy saved my Percheron stallion, Jumbo. He took sick on the cars the first day out; and on May 31st Sloan’s Sure Colic Cute saved a fine work mare, but it took five hours to do it. It was a very bad case. I have used it on a great many horses for oth ers and it always brings the results.” Dr. J. E. Neal, of Plymouth, N. C., writes: “A gentleman brought me his horse last Thursday night. He had the colic proper. 1 gave him Sloan’s Sure Colic Cure and in three hours he was all right.” Send for Dr. Sloan’s free book on horses, cattle, hogs and poultry. Ad dress Dr. Earl S.

To prevent vour hands getting red, rough and wrinkled from washing the dishes and clothes, the floors or wood work, sprinkle a little Lavadura in the water. Not only does it benefit the hands, but the water lias double the cleansing power and cleans everything far quicker and better. Put some Lavadura in the tub and the woolen and flannel clothes will not shrink, but come out of the water | fresh, sweet and soft—just like new, | It also prevents colors fading- rather | brightens them. A bath is far more enjoyably re freshing and beneficial in water which has been softened with Lavadura. It removes all odors caused by perspira tion and “sweetens” the skin, making it soft and smooth instead of irritated and smarting as often follows when a bath is taken in ordinary hard water. In the dairy, Lavadura is unequaled for washing milk bottles, cans, pans, etc., removing all odors and hygienically cleansing all utensils. Whiskey. Leesburg, Ga., May 7.—Leesburg has had quite a distribution of whis key. When the State went dry the various county dispensaries were left with a $300 stock of whiskey, most ly very sorry stuff that would not sell on the last day. The question has been how to get rid of it. This being court week, the concensus of the grand jury, court officials and citizens was that it might be either poured out, or stolen without incurring much punish ment. So last night the lock was found broken, and this morning it was noised abroad that nobody cared what became of the whiskey. As a result negro women could be seen with aprons full of bottles and pans full of some kind of stuff, and men folks also got in their share of the work. Nobody watched the old warehouse, and now the last of Lee {county’s dispensary- system is past. The commissioners are relieved of a load, and no grum bling is heard. Nobody will be pun ished for stealing, either. We are told by an exchange that she was a bright girl, and they were at a baseball game. She had won his heart by understanding the game right off, and he loved her more than he did his sister. “It reminds me of the house hold,” he says, ‘‘the plate, the batter, the fouls and the flies.” “And it re minds me of marriage,” she added; “first the diamond, where they are en gaged ; the struggle and hits, when the men go out; and finally the difficulty they have in getting home. ” Then he sat and thought and thought.

Witness the Honorable R. W. Freeman, Judge of said Court, this the 5th day No old sore exists merely because the flesh is diseased at that partie- ttlar spot; 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 tilled 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. 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 tiie bodily channels of waste have failed to remove. Again the cause may be hereditary, the diseased blood of ancestry being handed 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 attd dangerous forces at work, con stantly creating poisons which may in tiie 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, alUdischarge 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.
