On the night of April 16th, 1901, j by socks.
an angel came to visit the happy i ^ me Is here in all its
home circle of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. j an ^ the door stands ajar to
Uherry and took from them darling j an y num ber of visitors in the shape
K+tia UTiltrn n.ocpr? iVirAo roa™ oot>_ j of full-grown mosquitoes who are
anxious to renew their cousinship.
Things are getting O. K on the
little Miltcn, aged three years, say
ing in tenderest, sweetest accents,
Come home. Then the angel touch
ed his eyelids with balm and his lit
tle life stood still. Weep not, dear
loved ones, for the little darling has
gone to the Beautiful City whose
Maker and Builder is God. A shad
ow of sorrow and gloom lies deeply
on our hearts.
Through all pain at times he smiled,
A smile of Heavenly bir uh:
And when the anger called him home,
He smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps;
And the sunbeams love to linger
Where the little darling sleeps.
He was indeed a bright child,loved
by all who knew him. With all the
tender solicitude of parental love,
the devoted father and mother stood
faithfully by his little bedside unto
the last. Mingling our tears with
those of the dear parents and friends
in their loss, we join them in the
hope of a happy reunion with him'
who has gone before.
There was an angel band in Heaven
That was not quite complete,
So God took darling little Milton
To fill the vacant seat.
A Friend.

“Something New Under
fhe Sun.”
All doctors have triad to cure Catarrh
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhal
ers and drugs in paste form. Their pow
ders dry np the mneous membranes,
causing them to crack open and bleed.
The powerful ac ds used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed to
cure, while the pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and expe
rienced practitioner who has for many
years made a close study and specialty
of the treatment of Catabbh, has at last
perfected a|treatment which, when faith
fully used, not only relieves once, but
permanently cures Catabbh, by remov
ing the cause, stopping the discharges
and curing all inflammatiou. It is the
only remedy known to science that ac
tually reaches the afflicted parts. This
wonderful remedy is known as “Snuf
fles the Guaranteed Catarrh Cure”
and is sold at the extremely low price of
One Dollar, each package containing in
ternal and external medicine sufficient
for a full month’s treatment and every
thing necessary to its perfect use.
“Snuffles’ 5 is the only perfect Ca
tabbh Cube ever made and is now rec
ognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgusting
disease. It cures all inflammation quick
ly and permanently; and is also wonder-
hilly quick to relieve Hay Feveb or
Cold in the Head.
Catabbh when neglected often leads to
CoNSUMPTioN-“§nuffle§” will save you
if you use it at once. It is no ordinary
remedy, but a complete treatment which
is positively guaranteed to cure Catabbh
in any form or stage if used according
to the directions which accompany each
package. Don’t delay, but send for it at
once, and write full particulars as to
your condition, and you will receive spe
cial advice from the discoverer of this
wonderful remedy regarding your case
■without cost to you beyond the regular
price of “Snaffles” the “Guaran-
3eed Catarrh Cure.”

—Mr. Josiab Bass, one of Hous

Hill, for our prayers have been an
swered and the winter clothes, by
some plying of needles and darning
thread, have made connection with
summer.
Our woods have been so beautiful
with their trimmings of wild flow
ers and the sun so warm and balmy,
that Mrs. Stocking and the little
Socks and Stockings who won’t go
to school enjoyed their first picnic
of the season last week at the old
Indian cave, out in the middle of
the plantation. The grounds around
the cave are very pretty at this sea
son. In the valley just around the
cave is a bed of white lilies that cov
ers several acres; on the hill are wild
rose bushes with pantalets of red,
grayman’s beard, dogwood, etc.,
while the giant old oaks with their
dense foliage are covered with hang
ing moss and trailing vines. There
is one large room, or ca\e, twenty
feet in diameter, and a twelve foot
passage that connects with another
cave near Montezuma. When a child
my old black nurse would tell me
wonderful stories of how a wild In
dian buck was made to bite the dust
by a manly white fellow who was
sueing for the same Indian maiden’s
hand; then how the Indians cruelly
put the girl and her white lover to
death at the stake. At o&r picnic
the little Socks and Stockings sat
by the hour drinking in the same
old stories, only we drew the picture
quite differently, leaving off the
blood and thunder tragedies, and
telling them how natural it was for
the Indian girl to fall in love with
one of we handsome % fellows, and
how bravely we would woo and win
her, then take her away from the
woods and rocks to live in comfort
and refinement.
I am glad to hear that the memo
rial addresses of Hon. J. P. Duncan
and Prof. Driskell are to appear in
the Joubnal, thac all of our boys
who didn’t hear them may read
them. We had the pleasure of hear
ing Prof. Driskell’s address at Per
ry, and the splendid manner in
which he presented the facts and
figures was highly pleasing, but we
dinn’t get enough, for we want to
read it, then file it away in our scrap
book and read it again.
Some of the boys and girls begged
Mrs. Stocking to let them have a lit
tle social gathering at home last
week, and when they asked who they
could have, of course I said all the
pretty girls, and Mrs. Stocking said
all the nice boys. Well, as I looked
at the sweet, graceful girls, I couldn’t
help wishing that I was a boy again,
for there is nothing half so charming
in all this world as a good, modest
girl. Some people declare that boys
are no good, but of course we girls
know that isn’t true, for what would
we do without our manly boys? And
who could help feeling happy with
the pictures of pretty girls and man
ly boys before them? But time and
the U. S. mail wait for no one.

ing was held at Macon last Friday
morning, and the transportation
committeo will apply to the state
railroad commission for assistance
to secure equitable freight rates. It
is declared that the rates to eastern
markets are one-third higher than
for equal distances to western mar
kets. If the railroads are not blind
to then* own interests, they will co
operate with the fruit-growers in
continuing the development of this
interest. It is hot co-operation to
destroy the profit to the grower
with exorbitant freight charges.

An “At Home” on The Hill.
Last Friday evening at the beau
tiful home of Mr. and Mrs. R. Man
ning Davis, on Mossy Hill, a most
! delightful “At Home” was enjoyed
by the young people of that and
other vicinities. The parlors and
spacious hall were all aglow, and
were perfumed with the fragrance
of roses, and at about half past nine
o’clock a happy crowd had assem
bled therein.
They were delightfully entertain
ed by music from Misses Maggie
Marr, Mary and Louise Davis, and
Mr. Butler Hardison, after which
they indulged in pleasant games and
tete-a-tetes, some sitting on the ve
randa in order that they might
“star-gaze” and enjoy the cooling
breezes.
Those present were: Messrs. How
ard Miller, H. G. McCormick, Jack
Hodge, Roy Speight, Clyde Day,
Miller Marshall, Jay Miller, Butler
Hardison, Clinton Cooper, Feltz Ir
by, Felder Houser, Mike Pearce, Ed
Green, and Misses Evelyn Powers,
Fannie Moore, Maggie Marr, Neltie
Harchburn, Alice Barfield, Annie
Lou Holmes, Kate Martin, Clara
Dasher and Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
Wimberly.
At about 11 o’clock refreshments
were served, which consisted of
cream, cake and pickles; this was
greatly enjoyed.
By their hospitality Mr. and Mrs.
Davis are widely known; indeed,
they are charming entertainers and
are well versed in the art of pleas
ing, and this occasion will long lin
ger in the minds of those who at
tended.
At a late hour reluctant good-
nights were said, all declaring they
had never spent a more delightful
evening.

ted the evening’s pleasure.

On the morning of April 20, 1901,
the soul of Mr. Lavacins B. Aultman
passed from time to eternity at his
home in Crawford county, Ga. Mr.
Anltman had been in declining
health for about three months, and
was confined to his bed about five
weeks prior to his death. He bore
all his afflictions with patience, and
told the weeping friends that stood
near his bedside not to mourn, for
he would be better off’ and was
ready to die.
Mr. Aultman was born in Houston
county March 7th, 1869 and was 32
years, 1 month and 13 days old at
his death. He was highly esteemed
by all who knew him, and his friends
were numbered by the score, who
regretted to give him up. Decem
ber 5th, 1889, he was married to
Miss Etta C. Hancock, eldest daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Hancock.
Mr. Aultman lived near Claud, Hous

moved to Crawford ceunty.
His remains were laid to rest in
the cemetery at Union Church Sun
day, April 21st, about 12 o’clock, be
side his darling baby, who had died
aboui four months previously. He
leaves a devoted wife, four children
and a h:>st of friends to mourn his
death. But may they be directed in
the right way by the hand of God,
that they may meet him in a better
home. A Fbiend.
Fought For His Lils.
“My father and sister both died
of consumption,” writes J. T.
Weatherwax of Wyandotte, Mich.,
“and I was saved from the same
frightful fate only by Dr. King’s
New Discovery. An attack of
pneumonia left an obstinate cough
and very severe lung trouble,which
an excellent doctor could not help,
but a few months’ use of this won
derful medicine made me as well as
ever and I gained much in weight. ’ ’
