I heard of a Louisville man who was pretty close, says a writer in the Nashville Banner. There died a preacher who was perhaps the most popular man in Louisville. His friends undertook to raise a neat sum of money for his family, and did raise a goodly sum. Somehow they succeeded in get tiug a contribution from this man I am telling you about, but in stead of giving cash be gave hiß note at ninety days. The com mittee tried to get him to pay cash but he refused, and they left with the note. There were two or three other notes,but when the com mittee explained to the givers that they would like to make it a lump cash contribution, they all except this one,agreed. They went to him and explained the situation. He de dined to make it a cash sußcrip tion, but finally, iu answer to the committee’s repeated appeals, he agreed to pay it iu cash if the committee would discount the note. Thiß they did, deducting the bank discount for the time the note had to run. He was a very close man. Remarkable Rescue. Mrs. Mitchell Curtain, Plain field, 111., makes the statement that she caught cold, which set tled on her lungs; she was treated for a mouth by her family phy sician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist sug gested Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption; she bought a bot tie and to her delight found her self benefited from first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles found herself sound and well, now does her own housework and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this Great Discovery at A. M. Winn & Son’s Drug Store, large bottles 50c and SI.OO. Imprisoned In the Arctic. Eight vessels of the American wbftling fleet were caught in the ice, near Point Barrow, in the fall of 1897. Their stook of provis ions was scanty, and it seemed likely that officers and men would starve before the summer thaw released the craft. The govern ment decided that the revenue cutter Bear, which had just re turned from her usual summer trip to the Arctic, should attempt to carry food to the whalejs; aud on November 27th, eighteen days after the deoision was reached, she sailed on her errand of mercy. It was plauned that the Bear should make her way north, as far as the ice would permit, writes Lieut. E. P. Bertholf, U. S, N., in the New York Herald. Then an overland party would travel by dog-sleds to Cape Prince of Wales, get the reindeer herd at that place and drive it to Point Barrow, this being the only means of taking food to the imprisoned whalers before ships could reach them in the spring. The Bear got as far as Nunivak Island. The overland party, of winch Lieutenant Bertholf was one, sledded eight hundred miles farther and collected a herd of more than four hundred reindeer. Then a distance of seven hundred miles remained to be traveled. All the crew of the Bear on this relief expedition, which was ex pected to involve unusual hard ship and danger, were volunteers; and now auotber volunteer was fortunately found to take charge of the reindeer. This was Mr. Lopp, a missionary. He and his herders drove the deer the saven hundred miles, over snow and ice and through a country almost un known, and the herd was substan tially intact when it reached Point Barrow. The shipwrecked sailors had not yet begsn to suffer from lack of food,but confinement and inaction had told upon tn-m, and there were two cases of scurvy. The surgeon of the relief party soon stamped out the disease, and then established sanitary rules and made the men take exercise. When there was no work to be done,they were obliged to go out and play ball! The reindeer tided the party over the winter. The brave little Bear was the first vessel to enter the Arctic when the ice broke in the summer, and she carried ad ditional provisions and a supply of clothing. It was from her that the exiles learned—on July 15th —that war had been declared ai.d Manila had been taken. On September 18th the Bear landed ninety-one of the ship wrecked men at Seattle, It had been a successful expedition in ev ery respect. Lieutenant Bertbolf ascribes a large share of the credit to the Eskimos and their dogs. The dog-team used by Mr.Lopp, the missionary, was, it seems, the same that carried the overland par ty on the deer-collecting journeys, and Lit utenant Bertholf gives its record as a typical instance of en durance. “It traveled twenty-four hundred miles,” he says, “drag ging heavy loads most of the way, over bad roads, having only a few days’ rest at odd times. Only one d >g was lost out of the team of seven, and the other six were in excellent health at the end of the trip. “It must be remembered that most of the time, when traveling, these dogs get but one meal a day and a short meal at that. They belong to the country, and are so necessary to the Eskimos that it seemed reasonable enough that captains who bought them at Point Barrow should pay a hun dred dollars for each dog.” Robbed the Grave. A startling incident ts which Mr. John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrat d by him as follows: “I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken,tongue coated, pain continually iu back and sides, no appetite, gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. For tunately a friend advised trying Electric Bitters, and to my great joy and surprise the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks aud am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim.” No one should fail to try them. Only 50c per bottle at A. M. Winn & Son’s Drug Store. An English journal advocates as a needed innovation the employ ment ot automobile funeral cars, insisting that the display of black horses, plc.mee and other phylac teries of unreasoning mourning is but the survival of the antiquated and barbarous custom of slaying horses at the grave of their owner.

Bagwell Bros, of Lawrenceville, and Dr. Hinton, of Dacula. An African chief’s umbrella is of greater importance than many people suppose. Apart from its enormous size, its loss in battle more than equuls the loss of a standard of a European command er.

So far as au agent of the Phil aeelphia Commercial Museum in Sydney, New South Wales, is able to ascertain, there is no road-mak iug machiuers in that country, with the exception of stone orush ers aud steam roller for rolling in the crushed stone.

Too little blood in the brain is a frequent cause of headache, and may be recognized by the ache be ing on top of the head, by constant dizziness and by noises in the ears. The best cure is a slight stimulant, such as strong tea or coffee or hot soup—anything which will increase the circulation. People who suf fer with these headaches should al ways sleep with their heads low. A cycling firm in Cologne has patented a new bicycle bell, in which is concealed a kn.d of re volver, which is to serve the dou ble purpose of frightening away vicious dogs aud cheeky tramps. By merely pressing a button at tached to the side of the bell, ten cartridges can be fired off in suc cession, these giving such a loud report that obnoxious persons aud animals would not think twice of beating a hasty retreat. Whtl Shall We Do. A serious and dangerous disease pre vails iu this country, dangerons because so deceptive. It comes on so slowly yet surely that it is often firmly seated before we are aware of it. The name of this disease which may be divided into three distinct stages is, f irst, Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back, rheumatism, lumbago, frequent de sire to urinate, often with aburning sensa tion, the tlow-of urine being copious or scant with strong odor. If allowed to advance, this reaches the Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy pain in the abdomen low down be tween the navel and the water passage, increasing desire to urinate, with scalding sensation in passing small quantities be ing passed with difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has formed, it| will prove dangerous if neglected. The Third stage is Bright's Disease There is comfort in knowing that Dr. Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder I specialist, has discovered a Remedy fam- I ous for its marvelous cures of the most 1 distressing cases and known as Dr. Kii mer’s Swamp-Root. It is sold bv all druggists. As a proof of the wonderful virtues of this great discovery, Swamp-Root, a sam- I pie bottle and book of valuable infopna | tion will be sent absolutely free by mail on application to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton N.

The son-in-law is often the child of sorrow. It’s a wise pedagogue that pours whale oil on the troubled waters. Miss Alice Palmer, Wadly, Ga., writes : Have used Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Medicine 20 years. It is the best remedy for Dyspepsia, Sick Head ache, Sour Stomach, indigestion, Bil iousness and Constipation I have ever used. In my opinion it is much bet ter than the medicine put up by Zei lin, and Black Draught, which 1 have used. It sometimes happens that when a man is really known by the company he keeps she prefers to be a sister to him. Morning Sickness, or Nausea from Pregnancy, is dispelled by Simmons Squaw Vice Wine or Tablets. After suspicion is once directed towards a man it is difficult to side-track it. If Irritable, Out of Sorts, Depressed in Spirits, have a Dull Headaches, take a few doses Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Medicicine for quick relief. There are now fifteen Protestant churches iti the city of Rome, while before 1870 there were none.

N ' ItVIfA \ J, /jr r jr/i > , PHR The Platform Woman, “The platform woman never has been a credit to, but ever a blot upon, American womanhood. I make this emphatic statement from a personal knowledge of the homes which these women leave behind when they go to their meet ing-,’' writes Edward Bok, in t! e January Ladies’ Home Journal. “I have seen the rooms of their homes left in wild disorder; I have seen their servants sitting in idle ness with work on every hand to do; I have seen the children neg lected and left to their own de vices; I have heard husbands speak in derision of the motives of their wives. No woman in a hap py American home can ever afford to listen to these parasites of their sex. Fortunately, the platform woman’s influence is on the wane. She was never a power. She was never even picturesque. Her worst injury was wrought upon certain weak women who for the time she deluded. But even with them she was soon regarded with wonder rather than with interest; with suspicion rather than with confi dence. Less and less has she been able to get listeners, and it is sig nificant that in places where she has spoken during the present sea son she has not bean seen again. The disappearance of the platform woman is a case of a blot being blotted out. The Hindoos consider their dead as sacred, and do not allow them to be handled by alien hands, the nearest male relative —a son, fath er or brother—preparing the body for burial, and if there be none of these relatives, a son is adopted by the family for the purpose. Many a household is saddened by death because of the failure to keep on hand a safe and absol utely certain :ure for croup such as One Minute Cough cure.

It is manifestly impossible to give more than is received, else one finds he has broken all laws of common sense; yet this is often made the new catch-penny inducement to intending piano purchasers. We often read in the daily papers statements of offers made on pianos of high class, “containing every known inducement,” for an exceedingly small sum of money and on ridiculously low monthly or quar terly payments. The impossible is proffered, and he who does it knowingly i falsities himself and assumes that the purchaser is incompetent or foolish, else he could not be caught in such a net of fraud and deception. There is no oc- ! casion for deceit, yet the history of the piano trade shows it to be crowded with miss-statements regarding the grades and prices. We have found it nec- ' essary in the management of our wholesale trade to withdraw the sale of our pianos from some of our country dealers. In order to close the accounts with I these particular dealers we have found it necessary to take from them a num- ; ber of pianos of various makes and place them on our floors for sale, applying ! the proceeds of such sales to their accounts in order to settle the account with them. We do not expect to give Two dollars fcr One. but we have in these I instruments pianos of Standard makes, many of which could not be detected from new’ instruments directly from the Factory when placed side by side with ' new pianos in our store, and which these dealers have been asking a reasonable profit for, that will be offered during the next few days at very much lower j prices than these goods have ever been sold. We shall make an extraordinary , effort to close out every instrument on our floors of this class between now and i January first. In order to do this we find it necessary to offer these instru ments at wholesale prices to dealers, or even less. We would advise any one : who expects to purchase an instrument during the next few years to consult us in regard to prices on these pianos at once. In addition to a large stock of the I above described instruments, we have probably the most complete stock in the j South of Everett and Harvard pianos which are perfectly new and direct 1 from our two Factories. These instruments are made in all of the fancy woods and are unequaled in tone, quality and durability. Remember that the Everett * piano is the only piano guaranteed for the entire lifetime of the instrument. This guarantee is not by a salesman or a local dealer, but is a signed guarantee J furnished by the Everett Piano Company themselves, j Would you like to see < a partial list of the Everett pianos sold in the territory tributary to Atlanta ? | We have such a list and it w’ould probably interest you.
