Bun th« j* The Kin! You Haw Always Bought Work of Incendiaries • D. P. Moore aud Iverson Barns, living near Caleb, in this county, had their cotton houses burned to the ground one night last week, to gether with their contents. The fires were undoubtedly caused by the torch of some incendiary, and there is considerable excitement in the neighborhood over the matter. If the guilty party is caught up with he will be made to suffer the extreme penalty of the law. Mr. Moore, it will be remem beaed, figured in the attempted ar rest of George Echols, who was killed in resisting the officer, and it is thought that these burnings may be the work of some of Mr. Moore’s enemies through a spirit of revenge. A dais Reported. Maud, Ga., Feb. 9, 1899.—T ela •McWilliams, of this town, states that her grandmother has been taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and says it is the best medicine money can buy. Before she began its use she was a perfect skeleton, but Bhe has gained in health aud her appetite, which was poor, has re turned. Thousands of people are praising Hood’s Sarsaparilla for the good it has done them. Solicitor Brand’s Popularity- No solicitor in Georgia is more popular with the masses than is Solicitor Charlie Brand. He is clever, polite, friendly with every body, and has a smooth, even temper, yet he is fearless in the discharge of his duty in the prr.se cution of crime. He is one of the few men who can vigorously pros ecute a person and yet the person will not become offended. Solic itor Brand treats all men alike in the sight of the law, matters not the station of life. He represents the state as faithfully against one of the richest and most influential citizens as he would the humblest darky. There is no doubt of Char lie Brand making an enviable reo- j ord as prosecuting attorney for this circuit. —Jackson Herald, Gwinnett's Pension Money.

Our correspondent informs us that a negro woman at Auburn locked her little child in the house and went away, and. during her absence the house was burned down, the child perishing iir the llames. Such accidents are alto gether too frequent, hut there seems to be no remedy. Foul play was suspected, and Coroner Wilson was summoned to the scene to investigate ths mat ter. After summoning a jury and hearing the evidence of several negroes, no blame could be attach ed to any one, and the jury re turned a verdict that the child met its death from accidental burning.

A movement is on foot in rail road circles, we learn, looking to the extension of the E & W. rail road from Carterßville, Ga.,toa connection with the Seaboard Air Line. In order to do this, it is quite probable that the line will be run through Cherokee on or near one of the old surveys from Cartersville to the east. —Canton Advance. In event the E. & W. It’y. is ex tended, as above outlined, it will more than likely tap the S. A. L. at Lawrenceville. This is the nat ural place, the gateway, for all railroads to center, and it would not surprise us one bit to see the E. & W. extended to this point withiu the next year or two The business men of Lawrenceville should appoin. a committee to confer with the E. <fc W. people in regard to this very important mat ter. A Reminiscence gs Ohanotllomille. War was the theme in the ro tunda when Hoii. William E.Sim mons told this one: “When we were going into the battle of Chancellorsville.” said he, “a drove of wild turkeys flew up between the battle lines, and ‘Bob’ Moore, in my command, stopped firing at the r-uemy long enough to kill one of the turkeys. ‘Bob’ was a capital shot and a good fellow. “I remember how bloody the fight was that day,” said Colonel Bill. “We lost 500 men killed out of my brigade. I lost twenty seven men out of my company of thirty-two. “Our brigade at Chancellors villo,” added the colonel, “lost more men in a few hours than were killed on our side in the whole late Spanish-American war. That war was simply a little skir mish compared to the warm days between ’6l and ’64.” Colonel Simmons’ good angel was with him at Chancellorsville. He got fourteen bullet holes thro’ his clothes, but none through his person.—Atlanta Journal. K. 0. I WINS AND a. L. WEBB. These two enterprising young men are running a first-class store in Lawrenceville for Mrs. Austin Webb at the Webb & McGee old stand, and we predict that they will have a fine trade. In the first place, they do not buy auythiug except for the spot cash, and there fore can sell you goods cheaper than those who buy on time. M rs. Webb bought the interest of Mr. Webb in the Webb & McGee stock at a big discount, and can sell you clothing, shoes, hats and dry goods as cheap as any man in Lawrence ville can buy them. They also have a large wagon-yard in the rear ot their store for the accommoda tion of their customers, and a man’s horse need not stay hitched ip the rain wheu he comes to town. Just tell either of them and they will show you where to put him. They say they are going to pay the highest market price for country produce, and in our opinion they are going to make the older mer chants of Lawrenceville open their eyes. When you come to Law reuceville come down to see them. You will find them just two doors from this office. They handle ev erything a farmer needs. CASTOR IA For Infanta and Children.

Deputy Collector John Ware raided an illicit distillery in Gwin nett county during the cold spell last week, and his destruction of the moonshiner’s outfit has a hu morous side to it that his deputies relate. The night was so intensely cold, it is said, that extra efforts had to be made by the distillers to keep the beer from freezing. The collector and his‘men view ed the operations of the moon shiners for awhile without being observed. They saw them heating rooks at a big fire and dropping them in the fermenting vats. The collector stepped in. Ho placed his hand upon the shoulder of an uncouth fellow, whose sur prise kuew no bounds, and said: “Never mind, boys; I’ll make it hot enough for you.” The revenue leader then pro ceeded to take possession of the premises and its operators, and withiu a short time the steaming beer was flowing in rivulets down the hill, while the equipment met a smash-up from the repeated blows of his axe.—Atlanta Jour nal. Rutledge & Clower are fast fill ing their big new store with new goods, and they sell them at hard time prices. Accidental Death Little Clyde, the 22-montha-old son of Mr. C. A. Fleming, met a sad and sudden death last Friday evening. The mother of the little boy had been suffering with sick headache, and was taking yellow jessamine, in liquid form, to allay the pain. In taking a dose just abcut supper tims Friday evening, she placed the bottle on the table and went to another part of the house for a moment. Little Clyde, seeing his mother had partaken of the medicine, took the bottle, and turning it up to his mouth, swal lowed a mouthful of the deadly drug. When the mother returned to the room she discovered that the child had took the medicine, and at once gave the alarm. Mr. Flem ing hastily summoned, through a neighbor, the family physicians, Drs. Mitchell & Rush, blit in a short time after their arrival the little fellow passed into the quiet, and eternal sleep that knows no awakening for mortal flesh. With iu 15 minutes after the lotion was in the stomach little Clyde was beyond the ken of human aid, and all efforts of his father and moth er to keep him awake proved fu tile. On Sunday his body was interred in the new cemetery, beneath the frozen ■ arth and the white mantle of snow that covered the ground. Little Clyde was the idol of fond and loving parents, and his sudden and unexpected death was sad and pathetic. The heartfelt sympa thies of all Lawrenceville go out to the father and mother in their bereavement. Nine Degrees Below Zero. The blizzard held Lawrenceville in its tenacious grasp Monday morning. Four inches of snow covered the ground and the mercury at 6 o’- clock registered nine degrees below zero. The wind blew almost a hurri cane from the ice-covered peaks of the west, and the day was alto gether one to be remembered for its unpleasantness. The blizzard extended all over the west and south, and from every quarter of these sections comes news of suffering aud death. The south was illy prepared for such rigorous weather, and many cases of extreme suffering were re ported to the police of the cities. In Atlanta the Journal started relief wagons and began raising funds to aid the sufferers at an early hour Mondvy morning, and by night had extended the hand of true Christianity to over 400 freezing aud starving people. The Journal is a big-hearted, noble pa per, reflecting the generous im pulses of its philanthropbic and golden-hearted editors and man agers Would that there were more such papers in this cold old world. In Lawrenceville many were caught unprepared for the emer gency and had to suffer the stings of the frost-king. There being no coal or wood-yard in the town, those without fuel had to suffer,as they could neither buy nor borrow the coveted coal or wood that was wont to drive away the bleakness of the blizzard and bring cheerful ness to the hearthstone In the memory of the oldest in habitant the day was the coldest that they had ever experienced. The narrow-guage railroad was frozen up and did not run trains to Suwanee Monday. Trains on all roads were delayed. As we go to press the warm sun shine has dissipated the frost and the snow, aud the blizzard has ta ken his flight to other climes. Once more the gentle warmth of the spring zephry fans our cheeks, aud the song of the birds greets the ear. The frogs have resumed their nightly lays, and the approach of spring is bearalded by the redolent perfume of guano that is wafted on every passing breeze. The bliz zard is a thing of the past. Let us give welcome to gentle spring. Bearing-Down Sensations, Internal Heat and Female Weaknesses are cured 1 1 l.y the use of Simmons Squaw Vine I 1 Wine or Tablets. Ths Spring Fights. Just as the tail-end of the great blizzard was disappearing in the east Wednesday night the spring fights opened up in lively fashion in Lawrenceville. Within the space of one hour six beligorents had “locked horns,” but without material damage. This friction was brought about by blind tiger liquor that hhd been brought to towu by two “tiges” and peddled out promiscuously. City Marshal Brown pulled Frank Elliott on the charge of tigeing, and he will have to answer iu the courts for the same. The other “tiger” has not yet. been apprehen ded. All the beligereuts were cited to appear before Mayor Brown, and at his matinee to be held to-day, the depleted exchequer of the city treasury will doubtless be re plenished. What Ndxt- It does seem as though the seedsmen would stop somewhere, but here comes a work of art. Think of it, twenty-four pages lithographed in colors, not gau dy ohromos, but from photographs in colors, upon an entirely new plan. This, in itself, is enough to turn every woman’s head. Then follow about one hundred more pages, tilled with hand some half-tone illustrations of Flow ers, Fruits and Vegetables, photo graphed from nature, all printed 011 fine paper and enclosed in an elegant cover of white and gold.

This splendid work of art will be maiied with a Due Bill for '25 cents worth of seeds, for only 15 cents. Write James Vicks Sons, Rochester, N. Y. To Lecture on Cuba. Postmaster Cole is in receipt of a letter from his son, Robert Lee Cole, who is a member of the 81st Michigan Regiment, now stationed at Rodrigo, Cuba, in which he states that when he returns to Lawrenceville he will give a lect ure on Cuba. Bob says the weather over there is hotter than he ever felt in Law renceville, hut that his health is good. He states that the Cubans are starving, and every day they line up before their camps to get the scraps left by the soldiers at meal time. Bob seems to be having a good time; goes in bathing once a day, and gets plenty of tropical fruits to eat, and sugar at his own price. He writes to his father every week and his letters are quite interest ing. The news that Bob is to go on the lecture platform will be re ceived with satisfaction by his nu merous acquaintances in Gwinnett, and no doubt when he makes his debut before the footlights will be greeted by a full house. The only trouble will be to get a hall large enough to hold all who will want to hear Bob’s narratives of Cuban life and the customs of the peoplo he is now closely study ing. Should he not return till summer probably the lecture will be given iu the open air, either in the court hoiiße square or at Pee* pies’ Park. An effort will be made to got the Lawrenceville Branch Rail road to run a special train on that day to accommodate Bob’s Bu ford friends, who will want to hear his lecture. What is Scott’s Emulsion?
