Blizzard Covered the Country.
Birthday Celebration.
-A-X-XL, SIITDS
New
AND
Second-Hand
Probably the most extensive wind j
storm in many years was that which f
covered all the states of the union
last Monday , and until Tuesday
morning. ItWhe north and west
the wind reaclid the velocity of 77
miles an hour, and as high on the
Atlantic qoast. Show and sleet fell
heavily in many states and the cold
was intense, in North Dakota the
temperature falling to 42 degrees be
low zero. Preceding the blizzard
there was heavy rain throughout the
south,, flooding all the rivers and
many smaller streams. On the west
ern ranches many cattle were killed
by cold, or drowned. Houses, trees,
telegraph wires, etc., were blown
down and railroad transportation
seriously obstructed. With the des
truction of property, people in sev
eral states were killed.
In Georgia snow and sleet pre
vailed only in the northern section,
and the material damage was not
generally great. In Elbert county
the town of Bowman was praotioally
demolished and severeal people were
killed.
There has been colder weather in
central Georgia this winter, but the
change was quioker and greater
than has been known in many years.
At Perry the fall in temperature was
47 degrees within 12 hours, from 70
to 23.
In this immediate section of Geor
gia the direct damage was not ex
cessive, but there is much specula
tion and anxiety concerning the ef
fect upon the prospective fruit crop.
Whether or not the peach and plum
buds had developed sufficiently to
be killed is'the question that troubles
our people most. It is hoped that
this freeze has served rather to pre
serve than to destroy, as it was cer
tain that a few more days of warm
weather like last Saturday and Sun
day would have so developed the
fruit buds as to make destruction
sure with a later freeze.

At the court house in Perry last
Thurday night a fairly large audi-
encnce heard Rev. Frank Dixon de
liver his great leoture, “The Threat
of Socialism. He is a brother of
the author of “Leopard Spots,” a
distinguished Baptist minister, lec
turing under the auspices of the Al
kahest Lyceum. Thp lecture is in-
it 'was admirably
deed great, and
delivered last Thursday night. 1 For
two hourB he held the close atten
tion of his hearers, affording rare
entertainment to all except the
younger children. The speaker
proved himself master of the subject,
displaying deep thought, rhetoric
and logic above adverse criticism,
and a high degree of oratory In
handling his subject he placed so
cialism in positive auiagonism with
anarchism, and contended that the
phase of it that threatens is not so
much political as social, As a lec
turer he is decidedly good, and all
who follow him thoughtfully will re
ceive much instruction.

Gen. Miles, commander of the

the president to inspect military
conditions in the Philippine Islands.
A conference of land and indus

C A S TO RIA ForInfantsa/id Children.
Last Thursday, February 12th, a
number of relatives and friends as
sembled at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. 0. J. Marshall to celebrate the
birthday of Mrs. Anna Houser, Mrs
0. J. Marshall and Mrs. J. F. Hous
er, mother, daughter and daughter-
in-law, the daughters being - the
same age, and the mother just twen
ty years their senior.
There are few families where there
are three persons having the same
birthday.
I never saw a crowd looking bet
ter and in better spirits. From the
ring of their merry daughter they
seemed to feel as if they were in
their teens. Even the day seemed
to respect and honor the occasion.
It was a beautiful, bright, balmy
day. And, too, it reminded us that
spring is in the near future, and the
time would not be long when we
would hear the cooing dove and the
song of the whippoorwill.
Promptly at the noon hour we
were invited into the dining room,
where we found a table laden
with everything to tempt the appe
tite, and really we became alarmed
for fear some of tire crowd would
not be able to speak so fluently in
the afternoon as before.. But not
so, for on entering the parlor we
heard sweet strains of music and
the songs of long ago.
Thus time passed rapidly by, and
at four o’clock each one declared the
day too short, when their best beaux
arrived to take them home, and ere
the Bun went down they were gently
reminded they were not in their
teens, but three times seven.
May each one live to enjoy a good
many just such birthdays.

Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
V
! Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it Is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin-
—ates too often, If the
urine scalds the flesh or If, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, It Is yot afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of
fie difficulty Is kidney troublo, and the first
step should be towards, the treatment of
' these Important organs." This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
1 kidneys and bladder and' not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
