nesf. Both were bruised up considera
bly though neither was seriously hurt.
They were fined $2 each by Mayor
Gaston. They had a misunderstand
ing about an account.
Judge Gaston May Build.
Judge J. B. Gaston will probably
erect a handsome two story brick
building on his lot opposite the Hynds
Company's store. He is now figuring
with a prospective tenant and if a trade
is made he will probably build at an
early date A two story building there
would greatly improve the appearance
of Main street in that vicinity.

much. Judge Estes as “Prof. Hezekiah
Pendergrass'’ was indeed splendid and
he was supported by students who
knew their business thoroughly.

were funny as usual and their local hits
were excellent. As comedians there
are few amateure who are their superi
ors. About $S0 was netted for the li-
brarv from the entertainment.
ScrofulaSores
Health Was Greatly Impaired, But
Hood’s Sarsaparilla Built It Up-
Seres Have All Disappeared.
“I was troubled with eruptions on my
face, which appeared like scrofula. My
health was so much impaired that I was
advised to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla to
build me up, and I bought six bottles.
Before I had taken half of this amount I
found that I was improving. > I could rest
better at night, and felt refreshed in the
morning. I gained in flesh and when I
had finished the six bottlei the sores on
my face had all disappeared.” J. B. Bod-
die, Postmaster, Nashville, No*. Carolina.
“ After suffering from a'llore ie£ for 25
years, four bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla
made a complete cure. It is several years
s|nce I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla," but I
have not suffered with any sore or erysip
elas in that time.” Mbs. M. J. Hartley,
Lovett, Georgia. Remember
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
Is the Best—the One True Blood Purifier. Be
sure to get Hood’s and onl$ Hood’s.

SEMINARY ECHOES.
Arrival of Several New Studants.—
Symphony Club Coming-
Will Speak In Dawson.
Hon. Howard Thompson will open
his campaign for Congress at Dawson-
ville next week. He will address a
good crowd, no doubt, as his friends in
Dawson will turn out in large numbers j
to hear him. Congressman Tate has j
not yet appointed that committee to |
arrange with Colonel Thompson's j
friends a series of joint debates. Col. ;
Thompson will make a number of \
speeches until the arrangement^ are j
completed. He begins the campaign
with every evidence of success.
Miss Ella Armstrong of Belmont, N.
C., came to us this week. She is taking
a special course in mathematics and
Latin, having graduated at a normal
college two or three years ago.
Miss Celeste Farer of Greenville,
Georgia entered the Seminary last
Tuesday. She is a bright girl and is
already making many friends among
-the girls.
Miss Annie McWhorter, who went
home about a month ago because of ill
health, returned Wednesday. She is a
great favorite in school and all were
glad to see her back.
Miss Nora Terrell will be with us
again next Saturday. She entered
school last September, after a spell of
sickness at home. She had not fully
recovered and her father thought best
to let her rest awhile longer. We hope
she has fully recovered and will be able
to remain until commencement.
The pupils recital last Monday night
passed off nicely. A fine crowd attend
ed and the girls did credit to themselves
and teachers.
Miss Cochran's elocution class is
larger than it has ever been under her
or any other teacher. With elocution,
gymnasium, two or three classes in
reading and a class in Physiology, she
is kept very busy.
“Mother Van Hoose” has been quite
ill for nearly two weeks. She is always
so well that one cannot associate her
with sickness Her place has been well
filled by Misses Lynch, Carswell and
Harris, and her class has gone on with
out interruption. We miss her and
hope soon to see her out again.
Prof. Wallace is as busy as a bee these
days. Between piano, violin, organ
and harmony lessons he has work and
to spare. In fact all the teachers are
kept busy with their work.
The Mozart Symphony Club who
gave such a delightful concert at the
Seminary two years ago will be with us
again on Saturday night Feb. 19th.
Many who heard them at their former
appearance will be glad of the oppor
tunity to hear them again.

Mr. Harvey English painted the tin
roof on my house which leaked badly
in many places. I am well satisfied
with his work and the paint used by
him. JOHN D. POPE.
Attorney at Law.
Albany, Ga., Nov. 19. 1895.
The roof painting done for me b\* Mr.
Harvey English has been and still is
one of the most satisfactory jobs of
work which I ever had done. He
stopped all leaks in a large tin roof,
and there were a great many. His
whole transaction was fair, business
like and satisfactory.
Respectfully, A. W. MUSE.
Albany, Ga., Jan. 29. 1897.
Having had Mr. Harvey English to
paint several roofs with his incompara
ble preparation for stopping leaks it
affords me pleasure to bear testimony
to his honest workmanship and to the
fact that “English Paint Stops the
Leaks; Y'es it Do.' 5

Albany, Ga., Jan. 28, 1897.
Mr. Harvey English has covered the
roof of the engine room of the Albany
Water W orks with his roof paint and I
am well satisfied with the work. He
has also done some work for me per
sonally, two years ago, which has
proved satisfactory. C. W. TIFT
Chief Engineer Albany Water Works.
