In 1887 Srunett Y. Tiffany, son of Charles L. Tiffany of New York, married Bertha Pierson, a pretty little sewing girl. The marriage was against the will of the young man’s farther. When the Jate Charles L. Tiffany’s will was read the other day it was learned that he had reduced Burnett’s mheri- taece by $2,000,000 on account of his marriage. JBut that was not all the young man lost. Eleven days after^ their marriage his bride left him, never to return. Two million dollars for a honeymoon of eleven days seems a rather steep price.—-* At its trial trip the other day the torpedo boat Chauncey made the speed of twenty-seven knots an hour. It may be well enough to ex* plain just here that the boat Was not named in honor of Chauncey Depew, but commodore John S. Chauncey, who died in 1871. - The new law m South Carolina prohibiting the sale of pistQls in that state is being evaded just like others laws. The dealer now rents the weapons instead of sel ling them. The War Department has been requested to investigate the con duct of and punish Lieut. L. J." Yan Schaick, of the Twenty- seventh Infantry, who broke his engagement to marry a young wo man of Altamont, N. Y., last May. The Lieutenant gave his reason that -he wanted ta go to the Philippines and fight the Moros that tribe having shown hostility to the United States forces. He thought it his duty, he said to fight the battle of his country ra ther than to marry his fiancee. It is thought in Washington that the War Department “will not take any action in the matter.” The friends of Major C.

He giveB me one kiss when he comes and two when he goes away.’ “That’s always been his way,” re turned her dearest friend. “I’ve heard lota of girls comment on it.” Thus it happens that they cease to speak to each other.—Ex. The New Orleans “hello girls” are making all kinds of trouble, and it isn’t all talk, either.—Athens Banner. The Savannah Press says Editor Graves of the Atlanta News is loaded for beer this month.

To relieve th« supreme court of overwork the next Legislature will be asked to create an intermediate court which will dispose of certain classes of cases. It might prove a fine thing to make decisions for the higher court to reverse. —Lexing ton Echo. It would still be a bet ter thing for the people to turn out the old set of surpreme court judges and put in a better set. The people would fare better, but the railroads would suffer.—-Marietta Journal. The new novels “A Speckled Bird,” written by Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson after a silence of many years, is praised by north ern reviewers. It is true that the style ot this celebrated writer is more welcome since the romantic renaissance of the past few years than it was when the apostles of realism entirely dominated.

NUMBER 16- “PE-RU'NA necessary TO THE HOME,” Prof. Talfourd Smith, of Georgia.] Professor Talfourd Smith, Principal giloam High School, Siloam, Ga., writes: “With much pleasure I recommend perima to all who may be suffering with iBV trouble of the respiratory organs. I have been using it in my family for the past five or six years and find it to almost a household necessity. Peru* * n& is truly a grand catarrh remedy and general tonic and will do all that is chimed for it by the manufacturers," -.PROF. TALFOURD SMITH. v Catarrh is inflammation of the mucous membrane. It may be in the mucous membrane lining the eyes or the pelvic organs, throat, stomach, liver, bowels or bdneys. Catarrh is catarrh wherever located. Perana cures catarrh wherever located. Perima is an internal remedy; not a local application. Catarrh is a systemic disease, not a local disease. If Peruna will cure catarrh in one place it will cure it in any other place, because Peruna is a systemic rem edy. It reaches the disease through the circulation in each organ. It eradicates the disease by eradicating it from the system. If you do not derive prompt and satis factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a Ml statement of your case and he will be pleased to give yon his valuable ad vice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of Tie Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O. All-Day Singing’.

Revs. Blackwell and Simpson closed a series of meetings here at the Presbyterian church last week. Rev. D. S. McCurry commenced a series of meetings at the Baptist church last Sunday night.

Saturday the 16th .instant, the Thompson base ball team came up to Chestnut Mountain and crossed bats with* the boys. At the close of the game the score wbb 3 to 40 in Chestnut , Moun tain’s favor. George Olbon, against whom a warrant had been issued for mali ciously setting fire to the residence of Doc Clark, was caught Friday morning near Black Creek by Clark himself and turned over to Chief of Police Parks, who was just a tew yards behind. Clbon is now lodged in- jail here, and will no doubt be tried for arson in the next term of the Superior Court. Clark lives on Railroad Ave, near the Gainesville Cotton Mill; he and Olbon are brothers-in-law and there had been family troub les existing between them for some time. Olbon had been in court more than once for beating his wife, and it was through Clark's efforts that, they were sep- erated. About 12 o’clock Thursday night Clark discovered his house to bo in flames. A good deal of woodwasunder the kitchen, and tothis the torch had been applied. Olbon was at once suspicioned on account ot Boine threats he had made to Clark, and on account al so, of a previous effort, so Clark said, to burn the house. He was soon located, chased down, and arrested. Clbon is a man of rather law less character; there are other cases against him, and he is wan ted in Hart county* where he came from, for crimes committed there two years ago. Mrs. M. J.

A Yery pleasant affair, and one that was enjoyed by a large num ber of young people was the in formal dance that was given at the Armory last Friday evening. This will probablybe the last dance to be given at the Armory this sea- son, and those present on this oc casion seemed determined to make it the most enjoyable one also, and they all seemed to wish tjiat the summer season was just be ginning, instead of coming to a close.
