What is
CASTOR IA
Castoria is Dr. Samuel Pitcher’s prescription for Infants
and Children. It contains neither Opium, Morphine nor
other Narcotic substance. It is a harmless substitute
for Paregoric, Drops, Soothing Syrups, and Castor Oil.
It is Pleasant. Its guarantee is thirty years’ use by
Millions of Mothers. Castoria destroys Worms and allays
feverishness. Castoria prevents vomiting Sour Curd,
cures Diarrhoea and Wind Colic. Castoria relieves
teething troubles, cures constipation and flatulency.
Castoria assimilates the food, regulates the stomach
and bowels, giving , healthy and natural sleep. Cas
toria is the Children’s Panacea—the Mother’s Friend.
been exiled from the Creek nation
because of his political influence,was
not a savage, but a man possessed of
almost as much wisdom as the patri
archs of old. Oglethorpe himself was
built on much the same pattern: The
crowd he brought over with him
didn’t add much to the greatness of
the colony, but' his coming was an
entering wedge. It opened the way,
and thus the attention of the world
was called to the fact that a new
and very interesting section was
ready to receive friendly visits from
the adventurers.
Accordingly Georgia began to
grow.’ The Oglethorpe colonists
were strengthened by younger blood
and more ambitions men, and finally
Virginia and North Carolina began
to send some of their people down
this way. When the struggle for
independence came, the descendants
of Oglethorpe’s colonists were un
able to stand up against the press
ure, but in Wilkes county, where the
Virginians and North Carolinians
had settled and made their homes,
King George’s troops, aided by the
tories, were unable to accomplish
anything. They could murder wo
men and children, bum houses and
carry off live stock, but the liberty
boys invariably got the better of
them in the long ran
Ob jeer of the Ep worth League.
By a Member of a Colored League.
Kind pastors and members of the
Ep worth League of St. James C. M.
E. Church:—
As you have conferred upon me
the honor of presenting to yon the
object of the Epworth League,I will
endeavor to express it in a few sim
ple but earnest remarks.
Our thoughtful and beloved pre
siding elder, Dr. P. M. Hamilton, in
traveling over this, the Port Valley
district, saw in the young people,
and older ones, too, a great possibil-
ty for good. He saw the germ of
Christian strength, which only need
ed to be nourished by systematic
study of God’s Word, due consider
ation of God’s will, and lastly the
application of this knowledge to our
daily living. So, believing that the
Epworth League was just the or
ganization to bring abont this spir
itual growth, our- presiding elder,
with the co-operation of the pastors
in church, has endeavored to organ
ize an Epworth League in each Sun
day School in the district.
The object of the society is main
ly to promote spiritual growtii and
to stimulate Christian activity. In
the prayer-meeting department
course of spiritual study is set forth,
thereby giving the members a knowl
edge of God—to visit the fatherless
and the Widows in their afflictions;
to give to the poor, because by so
doing we lend to the Lord; to be
merciful, because by so doing we

Castoria.
“ Castoria is an excellent medicine for chil
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its
good effect upon their children.”
Da. G. C. Osgood,
Lowell, Mass.
Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their, children, and use Castoria in-
Btead'of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcingopium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves.”'

“ Castoria is so well adapted to children that
I recommend it ns superior to any prescription
known to me.”
H. A. Archer, M. D.,

“ Our physicians in the children's depart
ment have spoken highly of their expert
ence in their outside practice with Castoria,
and although we only have among our
medical supplies what is known as regular
products, yet we are free to confess that the
merits of Castoria has won us to look with
favor upon it.”

farming: and if he were alive to-day,
he would trace the development of
gold mining in the (Jherokee region
to the influence of the- Clarkes.
Didn’t they whip ont the Indians?
This reference to gold mining re
minds us of the fact that the article
printed in Sunday’s Constitution is
not, and yvas not intended to be, ex
haustive. A great many private
mines in the Cherokee district have
been developed by individual own
ers. Taken singly, the output of
one of these small mines, or ditches,
doesn’t amount to much, but the
aggregate sum taken out of the
ground in this way cuts a very im
portant figure in the gold produc
tion of the state.
Now that the-attention of capital
has been attracted to this rich sec
tion of the state, it cannot be doubt
ed that some new and rich discover
ies of gold will be made. All the
work that has been done there dur
ing the past sixty years has been
merely superficial. For the most
part primitive, even aboriginal,
methods have been employed to se
cure the gold. The miners’ maxim,
the truth of which has been demon
strated by experience, is that where
there is some gold there must be
more. This being so, the develop
ment of. the Cherokee gold fields
may be said to have just begun. As
time goes on, and new discoveries
are made, it is easy to foresee that
north Georgia will become the most
important gold producing section of
the country. There are thousands of
acres to be subjected to critical ex
amination, and whole mountain ran
ges to be explored. Gold has been
discovered in the neighborhood of
Gray mountain, and from that point
to Dahlonega there is a vast extent
of country containing deposits of
gold, brown hematite ore and coal.
In the course of a few years that
whole region will be opened up by
capital. Furnaces and foundries will
spring up, cotton mills will be erect
ed and railway lines will intersect it
in various directions. Altogether the
outlook is more than favorable for the
permanent development of the inex
haustible resources of north Georgia.

...Insurance Co.
From the Standpoint of a Colored Teacher.
The question of the higher educa
tion of woman has beeh discussed
times without number. Most of our
learned men condemn the higher
education of woman, I say a woman
should be as highly educated as any
man.
We have young women to-day fill
ing the positions of men. We have
women doctors, women lawyers, wo
men at the press, women photogra
phers, and. women filling the sacred
rostrum. I say a woman should be
as highly educated as any man.
Some writers say, what’s the use
of educating your girls? As soon as
they get an education they marry.
What of that? The world demands
more educated mothers to-day than
it ever has since the foundation. An
educated mother is everything to a
home. The hand that rocks the cra
dle rules this world. Why should we
not educate more of our girls? I say
a woman should be as highly educa
ted as any man.
Follow the example of our superi
ors—every white girl in Perry and
the surrounding towns is grasping
for more education. Follow the ex
ample of Miss Julia A Patterson, one
of our bright G. M. E. girls; it was
higher education that gave her the
determination to lead such a grand,
noble life, and to-day her good works
live after her. Follow the example of
Mrs. F. M, Hamilton, who is a bom
musician; her voice is like a mocking
bird’s, and the piano plays when she
looks at it It waB higher education
that gave this renowned reputation.
I say a woman should be as highly
educated as any man.
Look on the other hand. We find
ovr young men filling the jails,
chaingangs, penitentiaries, etc. We
educate our young men for doctors,
and find gamblers; for a preacher
and find a miser; for a lawyer, and
find an assassin, a pest of the coun
try. I repeat it, a woman should be
as highly educated as any man.
Look on the other hand. We find
a seamstress, a cook, a music teach
er, a school teacher, etc. I repeat it
once again, a woman should be as
highly educated as any man.
Young women, whatever you do,
fay to get an education and be inde
pendent of man. God will condemn
yon young men at the bar for the
fall of woman. The hand that rocks
the cradle rules this world. I re
peat it once, twice, thrice—a woman
should be as highly educated as any
man. Oneida E. Eussell.

“I reckon we’ve grot the oddest town
In our state that there Is in the United
States,” said a West Virginia man.

“I’ll explain. The good people, and
they are in the majority, too. are down
on saloons and liquor. in any shape.
They got up a temperance meeting and
purposed to drive the liquor men out of
town. When yon find a West Virgin
ian' who believes in liquor, you find a
man who Is ready to fight for it The
liquor people got together and In some
way got the confidence of the town eu_
gineer. I don’t know whether he was
a liquor man or not, but they got him
on their side. The engineer discovered
that the town was not laid out right
and he got authority to change the
metes and bounds. When be finished
the job, the temperance people found
ont that they lived just outside of the
line of the town, no matter what part
of the town their houses were in. A
man conld stand in bis back yard and
talk to the man whose place was right
up against his place and who was a
voter, but the first man bad lost bis
vote.
“The lines of the engineer excluded,
as I have said, the temperance people.'

The map of Culloden as It is now looks
a good deal like a sheet of paper after
a fly with ink on its feet meanders

Cnlloden stands on &e tiquor question

The-Truthful Prince.
In his book about Persia, “The Land
of the Lion and the Sun,” Dr, Wills
says that he was once conversing with
the king’s son, and a large circle of
courtiers and priests filled the room.
The prince narrated his exploits in
hunting the antelope the previous day
and gravely stated that while pursuing
a pair of ahu when riding a very rest
ive horse his headstall broke.
“What should you have done, doc
tor?” asked the prince.
“I should have tried to stick on as
long as the ground was good and, ex
pecting an accident, have awaited it !
“Ah, that was because you were not
a prince,” he said. “I leaned forward;
and, unclasping my belt, placed it In
the horse’s mouth as a bridle, and,
thus directing him, pursued my game
and killed both antelope.”
All the circle applauded, as of course
they were bound to do. Dr. Wills was
silent.
You don’t mean to. say you don’t
believe that?” said the prince. “Speak
ont if you don’t I shan’t be offended
in the least”
“Well, your highness, I don’t believe
it”
“Quite right, darogh bood” (it was a
He), unblushingly replied his royal
highness and burst into a fit of laugh
ter quite unabashed. The circle of
courtiers, of course, were convulsed.

It is very hard to stand idly by and
see onr dear ones suffer while awaiting
the arrival of the doctor. An Albany
(N. Y.) dairyman called at a drug store
there for a doctor to come and see his
child, then very sick with croup. Not
finding the doctor in, he left word for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give-some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In. a few hours he returned, say
ing the doctor need not come, as the
child was much better. The druggist,
Mr. Otto Scholz, says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy to their .neighbors and friends
until he has a constant demand for it
from that part of the country. For sale
