NEWNAN HERALD NEWNAN, FRIDAY, NOV. 26. ONE DOLLAR A IN AnVANCR. YEAR Reminiscences of Early Days in North Georgia. Rev. W. J. Cotter In Chataworth (Go,) Time*. Few people living then are alive to day. The name had first been changed from the Cherokee Nation to Hall, my native county. I was there when the county was laid off and named, and 1 waa there in 1838 when the Indiana left. When the soldiers came to move them 1 delivered the first corn for their horses at Ft. Gilmer, Rock Spring, or the Car ter place. They were handled gently by the soldiers, and it was a sad sight to see them leave their native land; but it was for their lasting good. The educated Indian girl's goodbye was, “Farewell to Cohutta's high peak in the dale! Farewell to Sumach’s bright stream in the vale! Farewell to the lone spot where my kindred sleep. For them alone the willow must weep." The county-site was first known as Van's, for Soe Van, who built the brick house. 1 remember him. He left in 1834. The Moravians came in 1817 and built at the Rig Spring. They named the place Spring i’lace, and left in 1830. After both left I spent many nights in the brick house, und a few in the mis sion home. When the county was or ganized the capitol was named I’oinsett. The people did not like the name, and continued to call it Spring I’lace. All the good that comos to Murray county brings joy to me. 1 was glad to see the petition of your noble jurors asking.Judge Fite to present it to the Governor for State-wide prohibition. The grand jury is an index to the coun ty's intelligent nnd honorable citizens. Now, let mo respectfully suggest a name for your county’s capital a name that links you with the American Rev olution. The name is Elias Doudinot, who was born at Philadelphia, Pa., May 2, 174(1, and died at Burlington, N. J., Oct. 21, 1821. He was a member of the Continental Congress in 1777, and in 1782 was its president, in which ca pacity the following year he signed the treaty of peace with Great Britain. From 1785 to 1806 he was director of the United States mint at Philadelphia. He wus the first president of the Americun Bible Society, guve much of his means to charity, and wrote a book in reply to Thomas Paine’s “Age of Reason," with the title, "Ago of Rev elation." And yet there is another honored nume linked with the first. More than one hundred years ago there was born an Indian boy in the heart of the Cherokee Nation, on the Coosnwatteo, and this baby Indian possessed a great mind. Diamonds are found in yellow dirt, but the polished hand of the skilled lapidary can make them shine and sparkle, gems of great price. The dark ages of heathendom had almost frozen the genial current of his soul, but under his yellow skin wus a dia mond mind of the first water, and in some way a faint spark of light shone upon his intellect, and as it increased he wus led to the mission school at Cornwell, in Connecticut. There, by close application, he developed a high state of intellectual and moral culture, and commended himself to the wise nnd good. He asked of Mr. Boudinot if he might assume 1 hits name, and the re quest wus granted. He won and wed Miss Harriet Gold of an excellent fum- ily. The noble Indian came buck at once to help his own people, und was sue ccssful in more ways than one. He be came the chief editor of The Cherokee Phoenix, lived in a commodious house, was visited by some of the best people in the State—especially from Washington, Ga. The newspapers of that day teemed with praises of his noble hospitality. His fuilhful wife was truly a helpmeet in all his work, but died in 1836—taken from the evil to come, us the sequel will tell. Her grave is well marked at New Echota. In 1838 he went with his people to their new home in the West. While working to build a house for his motherless children in 1838, by venge ful savages he was cut to pieces with knives. On the same day Major Ridge nnd his son, John, were killed, because they favored removal to the West. So Boudinot died as a martyr to his peo pie. His son, Elias Cornelius Boudinot was a lieutenant-colonel in the Confed erate army, and loyal to the land of his fathers. Thtre is not a drop of ignoble blood in the veins of a Cherokee. They are capable of the highest cultivation of in tellect and morals. In proof of this they have advanced in civilization till they are now denationalized, and are bona fide citizens of the United States, entitled to all the privileges of citizen ship. On the Warpath. Mmllann M«dl»onlAn. The following “hot stuff is from a recent LaGrange Graphic: “The editor is a very necessary ad junct. Necessary when you want fa vorable mention of yourself or any of your folks. Necessary when a lit tle angel makeB its advent into the world. Necessary when you want a double column notice of your daughter’s brilliant wedding. Necessary when you want a column and a half of slush about some old hypocrite when he dies. Necessary when you want to see your self boosted as a great big nobody; but the editor is not worth your considera tion when he asks you to pay what yi u owe on subscriptions. If that is the way you think about it, or if that is not the way you think about it, send us along the dollar you Owe, and you will feel better. That is, if you have any conscience. If you have no conscience, send it along anyhow, and we will feel a whole lot better.” This is a unique manner in which to “dun” folks. What a pity that folks need to be reminded of their debts any way! Why not walk up like men and pay notes and accounts when due? The people arc growing worse and worse about paying debts, anyway. Time was when our forefathers would ride or walk through snow or sleet, hail or rain, hot or cold, to pay a bank note the day it was due. There are a few people who are still as prompt in meet ing their honest obligations— a few only. A vast number of people think if they fiay a note any old time they are doing well. In discussing this situation with one of our local merchants the other day he said that it requires about two years to collect for that which he sells in one; that one year’s credit is not now suffi cient; that most people want two years. The credit system is the bane of the South, and The Madisonian doesn’t blame The Graphic editor for occasion ally going on the war-path after his de linquents. Gov. Harris Signs Prohibition Bills. Atlanta, Nov. 20.— A complete triple victory for the Prohibitionists of Geor gia, leaving nothing to be desired from their point of view, is embodied in the three new prohibition bills which Gov. Harris has signed, and which will be come laws on May 1, 1016. They will give Georgia, in their combined effect, one of the most stringent and radical prohibition laws ever passed by any State in the Union, not even excepting Alabama. The first bid called the “om nibus bill,” absolutely prohibits the sale of liquors, wines or beer or near- beer in Georgia, and prohibit their man ufacture as well. It even limits to a minimum amount per month the quan tity of whiskey which a man may have in his own home for personal use. The second bill is called the anti-shipping bill, and prohibits the shipment into the State, or from one point to another in the State, of any kind of liquor or beer, excepting only the minimum amounts to be used by private individuals. The third measure, regarded by many as the most radical of all, absolutely pro hibits the advertising of any liquor, wines or beers in the State. This in cludes not only papers and publications printed in the State of Georgia, but means that no national magazines or out-of-State papers can be Bold at all in Georgia until all liquor, wine and beer ads. have been clipped out bodily, or covered with lampblack by the dealers. CLEANSE THE BIPOD BEFORE WINTER Free yourself from the menace of bud health when the cold and wet sets in. Sufferers from Catarrh, Rheumatism, and Eczema are worse in winter. Take S. S. S. now. People Say To Us “I cannot eat this or that food, it, does not agree with me.” Our advice to all of them is to take a before and after each meal. 25cabox. John R. Cates Druq Co. Chamberlain's Tablets. This is a medicine intended especially for stomach troubles, biliousness and constipation. It is meeting with much RiiccesH and rapidly gaining in favor und popularity. “Charge It!” Brown wagered White $10 that ho could ask ten men the Hame question, and all would answer it in the same way. White took the bet. Brown’s question wus: “Have you heard thut, Smith is dead?" All ten men answered by saying: "What Smith?” And that’s how Brown made $10. It is very nearly a safe wager, up to nny amount, that the most frequently used phrase in many places, especially large cities, is “Charge it!” Those two words are Hung across the c 1 unters of stores thousands of times every day. "Charge it!” snys milady huuglitily when she buys a live-hundred dollur ring. “Charge it!” timidly whispers the poor woman in exchange for her o-cent loaf. “Charge it!” write half the guests of hotels andjall the members of the clubs for everything they get. “Charge it!” mutters the furtive eyed, sorrowful-looking habitue of the corner saloon as he edges toward the door, wiping a bit of foam from his lips. “Charge it!” is the only currency that passes in hundreds of mercantile transactions daily and for all kinds of commodities, from the little boy’s school pencil to daddy's newest limous ine. And this "Charge it!” habit is one of the things that adds at least 5 per cent, to the cost of existence, economists say. Our Jitney Offer This and 5c. Don’t Miss This.

J. F. Lee Drug Co. The following card of thanks recently appeared in a Kansas paper: ”1 wish to thank the city authorities for quarantining my family and me for three weeks recently because one of them had smallpox. During that time, my wife caught up with her sewing, we had three square meals a day; as no one came in and she was not permitted to go out, we enjoyed three weeks of good night’s sleep. And best of all, a cousin with four children had arranged to visit us, but saw the smallpox sign on the door and left town so scared that she will never come back again. So for these and other blessings, we are very thankful for the quarantine.’’ They Let Him Sleep Soundly "Since taking Foley Kidney Fills I believe I am entirely cured and X sleep soundly all night.'

Ga„ R. Tt. No. 3. Mr. H. T. Straynge says: "For ten years I've been unable to sleep all night without getting up. Sometimes only a few minutes after going to bed I'd have to get up, and I tried everything 1 heard of for the trouble. Fast year I tried Foley Kidney Pills and after taking one bottle I believe 1 am en tirely cured und 1 sleep soundly all night." J. F. LEE DHUfl CO.. Newnnn, Ga. Advice of this character has been given by our trained specialists year after year as summer began to wane and the coming of Fall heralded the time when storms and cold are near. We rppeat this warning here. Sufferers from Catarrh will un doubtedly find the symptoms much aggravated as Winter approaches. With the first chill blasts the Rheu matism lets itself be felt. There are forms of winter Eczema—one in par ticular — called Tetter that causes real suffering when cold weather comes. The mere aches and minor pains of Rheumatism not only change in winter, but the changes nre apt to be so decided in their violence as to cause the most Intense suffering. Hor rible aching pains In the limbs, in the back, in the joints, even rheumatic pains in the head and face sometimes supposed to be neuralgia. Catarrh is back again, more intense than last winter with the continual hawking and spitting, headaches, dripping of phlegm in the nose and throat, the stopped air passages and the odor from the breath. Is it foetid not a common-sense thing to do to avoid these troubles, to eradicate them from the system when it can be so easily done with a positive remedy such as S. S. S.? Remember, first of all, that the troubles we mention are blood troubles—deep-seated ones. Laugh at the man who recommends lotions, salves and local medicines. The trou ble must be washed out of the blood. Thousands of people have been perma nently relieved of blood and skin dis ease of every kind by the use of S. S. S., and many of those who, per haps, at first did not find the results entirely satisfactory, wrote our physi cians a full statement of their case, and a little advice hastened the relief. The only reason for wanting you to write us Is that we may use every ef fort to see that you get the best re sult from the medicine. You can then help us by advising your friends to use S. S. S., which you will know from ex perience is all we claim for it. You can write with the assurance that all correspondence Is held In strictest con fidence. and that our physicians will give you helpful advice without charge. For sale at all drug stores.
