An old-fashioned ante-bellum

and a sack with a partition in it.
The sack contained a copper cent

toe and finger nails, hair and roots
in the other side—each article well
sewed up in red flannel. Numbers
of colored peoele came up to ex
amine the article, and immediate

purpose it was worn. Only one or

touch it. It created quite a sensa

It is amusing bow royal personages
work confidence games upon them
selves and each oilier. The Queen of
England, it is said, has sent to the Em
peror of Germany a prized copy of her
family tree, showing King David at
the top. A pet idea of the Queen is that
she is descended from the Psalmist
through Zedekiah’s oldest daughter,
and it is said that Emperor William’s
conviction of his divine origin is great
ly due to his grandmother’s whims.
How to Fitd Out-
Fill a bottle of common glass with your
w ater and let it stand twenty.four hours:
!. sediment nr settling indicates an unheal
thy condition of the kidneys; if it stains
your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble;
too frequfcnt desirv to pass it or pain in
the back is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladyer are out of order.
WHAT TO HO
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills
every wish in curing rheumaiism, pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder acd eve
ry part of the urinary passages. It cor
rects inability to hold watrr and scalding
pain iu passing it, or bad effects following
nse of liduor, wine or beer, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of being com
pelled to go often during the day, and to
get np many timss during the night The
mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands
the highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a
medicine you should have the best. At
druggists fifty cents or one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and a
bock that tells more about it, both sent

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29,1899.
listress in Dry Str:;k:.
There is apprehension of much
distress in some of the adjoining
counties which were without rain
during the spring and summer.
There is'a dry streak covering
parts of Oconee, Clarke, Morgan,
Putnam and Greene, where prac
tically. nothing is being made.
One large planter in that section
had 1000 acres in cotton and esti
mates that he will gather 100
bales of cottou. Corn is almost
an entire failure.
In many places, the crops never
came lip and consequently were
never worked. After rains in late
summer, luxuriant crops of grass
sprang up aud it was hoped that
good crops of hay wculd be pro
duced. This, however, has been
cut off largely by some kind of
worm which cuts the grass down
near the root.
Such a thing as a crop failure
occurs so rarely in Georgia as to
be almost unknown. Various
methods have been suggested for
extending succor to the distressed
people of the dry districts. Some
people think the legislature will
■make a direct appropriation for
the relief of the sufferers, Mr.
Weldon Price, the representative
from Oconee in the legislature,
has suggested a plun which may
be feasible, serve every purpose,
aud give satisfaction. He sug
gests that the people hold a mam
moth mass meeting at an early
date and petition the legislature
for the privilege of issuing bonds
payable in five years, bearing b!x
per cent iuterest -for a sum suf
ficient to carry them over next
year. This is a wise suggestion
and may be acted upon favorably.

The Widow Piper’s Neighbors-
The sad news went out over the
Kansas prairie neighborhood one
day in early May, “Farmer Piper
is dead.” He had come to the
community several years before,
hut had not made a success of his
little claim. The wife and three
small children were in sore straits
when the father and provider was
called away, and the first thought
of the neighbors when they heard
of Farmer Piper’s death, was,
“What will become of the family?”
The widow herself could not an
swer the query. She could hold
her claim if there was a crop in
the waiting fields, but they lay tin
plowed, with sturdy weeds spring
ing up through the old corn stalks
of last year. She had no relatives
to whom she could appeal, and
there was nothing, after the doc
tor’s bill was paid, that could be
used to hire help.
What was her surprise one mor
ning, three weeks after her hus
band had passed away, on looking
out of her window, to see the vi
cinity of the house alive with
teams and men. There-were men
with plow 9, men with harrows,men
with listers, and men with corn
planters.
Work began without asking
leave.
Whi'e one team drew the stalk
cutting machine, others followed
with plows. Then came the har
rows and the planters, while the
listers rapidly planted the corn on
the fields that did not need so
much care. Men were busy se
lecting and shelling the seed corn,
and when the late spring evening
came there were seventy-five acres
planted, and as pretty as any in
the neighborhood.
In the company were thirty
nine teams aud twice as many
men aud boys, all of whom did
their part in making the day a
good one for the widow aud her
family. Toward night the visit
ors filed out of the yard, with
wagons rattling, plowshares jing
ling, and men and boys cheering
and waving good bye. The widow
aud her children stood in the door
of the little prairie cabin. Tears
did not allow them to recognize
every one, but in their hearts was
a thankfulness not to be put into
words. —Youth’s Companion.
Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated tiy him as follows;
“1 was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow,eyes srunk
en, tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, no appetite —gradually
growing weaker day by day. 'lhree
physicians had given tne tip. Fortu
nately, a friend advised trying ‘Elec
tric Bitters and to my great joy and
surprise, the first bottle made a decided
improvement. I continued their use
for three weeks, and am now a well
man. I know they savedmy life, and
robbed the grave of another victim.”
No one should fail to try them. Only

Attorney General Terrell is seek
ing to establish a new standard
among lawyers. Without any ref
erence to the facts in the particu
\ lar issue he has raised, why should
not a lawyer’s talents be as avail
j able on one side of a case as an
i other, conceding, of course, that
'there is no mortal turpitude on
either side, and that it is simply a
question with two sides to it, as in
most cases. We ouco heard a sto
ry, which we do not vouch for,
however, that a distinguished law
yer was engaged to make a speech
in a case then in progress. Either
through absent-mindedness or in
attention he spoke for about fifteen
minutes on the wrong side, when
the leading counsel pulled at his
coat and explained the situation.
Without chunging countenance he
resumed his argument, beginning
as follows: “I have now present
ed the case of the other side, in
the strongest light as it appears to
me; now let me point out to yon ;
gentlemen of the jury, fallacies in
that argument, and the weakness
of their case ” He then proceed- .
ed to riddle the argument he had
been making, and made a much
stronger one on the otln r side.
This, perhaps, is a fairy tale, illus
trating the versatility of a great 1
lawyer. Hut if a lawyer can speak j
on both sides of a case in the same ,
argument, why may he not be em- i
ployed upon different sides of a 1
question after au interval of half \
a dozen years ?—Ex.

McMillan, a prominent citizen of
Pine Log, was a visitor in the city
Friday and was narrating to his
friends a strange occurrence that
has just come under his observa
tion, Mr. McMillan was a Confed
erate soldier and was wounded at
Resaca Last week lie paid a visit
to the old battle-ground and was
a guest of Mr. King, who, also was
wounded iu the head at the battle
of the Wilderness, While at sup
per Mr King, was annoyed by
what he thought a bad tooth, and
by inserting his fingers ou the spot
that was hurting was surprised to
have a largo leaden bullet fall in
to the plate before him. This bul
let was the cause of his wound at
the battle of the Wilderness, hav
ing entered above the left temple
and while it had been probed for
it could never be abstracted. Dur
ing these long years, thirty-four
years ago, it was working its wav
downward, causing pain rccasion
ally, which Mr. King took for neu
ralgia, aud finally last week it fell
from its long confinement into the
plate as stated above. The bullet
was flattened somewhat, and a
gmall piece of bone had been im
bedded in it, which is thought to
be a part of the skull as it crushed
through thirty-four years ago.

On last Monday night at a late ,
hour while Henry Roberts was re- ,
turning home he stumbled over ,
something in the road running by !
the cemetery which scared him
almost out of his wits. He struck j
a match and found it Jo be an
old negro woman about 85 years
old, lying across the road, with
her head as white as cotton, caus
ing her to resemble a haunt very
much. The matter was reported
to Marshal Anderson, who went
out to investigate it, but could
find out nothing more than her
being a strange negro who wouldn’t
or couldn’t tell where she came
from or where she was going. She
seemed to be crazy. He brought
her to the calaboose and cared for
hor the rest of the night. Next
morning after eating breakfast
she said that her father told her
to travel east. She looked out
and saw the sun and started off
across the country in that direc
tion. This is the last heard of
Robert’s haunt. —Dahlouega Nug

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other tfiseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, anil pre
scribed local remedies,and by constant
ly tailing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and, therefore, requires consti
tutional treatment Hall’s Catarrh

A Very Popular Man.
' There lives in the vicinity of
Columbus, 0., a rich farmer who
is so contrary that he coppers
whatever his neighbors may do.
Recently, as Victor Smith tells
the story, the latter got together
and agreed that their lunds must
be posted if they expected to have
a quail or a squirrel. According
ly it was done. Signs painted in
gory letters suddenly stared the
sportsmen in the face, and guns
and fiehing tackle dropped 80
points bn the market. The con
trary man decided that he would
not post his land, and in direct
opposition to his neighbors, sot up
a score of these signs about his
5,000 acres of rich bottom on the
banks of the Olentangy:
“Shoot and fish all you please
on this laud, and when the horn
blows come to dinner.”
He is the most popular man in

A Bad Case Ok Blood Poison Cured
Three years ago I contracted a
blood poison. I applied to a physician
at once, and his treatment came near
killing me. I employed an old physi
cian and then went to Kentucky. I
then went to Hot Springs and remained
two months. Nothing seemed to cure
me permanently, although temporary
i relief was given me. I returned home
a ruined man phisically, with but lit
tle prospect of ever getting well. I
was persuaded to try Botanic Blood
Balm, (B. B. K.), and to my utter aston
ishment it quickly healed every ulcer.

On Fooling the People.
There was a man who went
about predicting that the world
would come to an end in. two
years, says the Chicago Times-
Herald.
“Put up your tools,” he cried;
“cease your striving after money I
Fall on your knees and pray, for
in two years the earniugs that ye
save and the work that ve do to
day will be as naught.”
And the people scoffed at him,
aud llung eggs over against hint
ar.d refused to put money in his
hat.
Now, therefore, the man saw
that the people would not believe
him, and he sat him down by the
wayside, and he laid hold of the
brow appertainiugly unto him,
and he thought.
Presently he arose and a smile
was upon his lips, and as he went
forth into tho haunts of men he
cried aloud unto them, saying:
“Oh, my brothers, you are sore
oppressed Your masters are grind
ing you down. A mighty crash
is near at hafid. Why do you
spend your days in toil? Why do
you not rush forth into the mar
ket places and arouse your fellow
slaves from the stupor into which
they are fallen? A storm im
pends! Be ready! Throw your
tools away! Arise in your might
and help to smite 1” ,
And the people contributed unto
his support and acceped him as a
great prophet, and got so busy dis
cussing the approaching bnrst up
that they neglected their work and
were docked, and their hearts were
heavy.

THE LAWKKNCITIILK CAMPGROUND
How strange 1 How mysterious,
that sometimes, though far away
witii other thoughts, aDd other
things our time to employ, there
suddenly flashes before us a beau
tiful panorama that we thought
the vista of years that lie between
had completely effaced!
Some powerful touch from a mystic
hand,
Perchance some elf from a fairy land,
Seems bidding us to erstwhile pause
and think
Of childhood’s chain and an almost for
gotten link.
Then seemingly we are carried hack
again
To scenes of childhood’s happy days,
Where oft upon a aot of straw we’ve
lain
And courted not Morpheus’enchanting
ways.
Where our carpets were of sweet
smelling straw,
Our divans the most luxurious we ever
saw,
Composed of planks as hard as hard
could be,
But on them we had our grandmothers’
quilts, jros see.
From our windows there always hung
curtains new,
Beautifully sparkling with diamonds
made of dew.
And wrought not were they from
foreign looms,
But by the common spider that in
fests our rooms.
Around the old campground a music
al brooklet winds,
Which is.denrer than all others to our
minds.
Along its banks the loveliest ferns
were wont to grow.
Nodding their graceful heads to the
music of the brook below.
Our dear old ancestors over this
ground used to trod,
And Though now they are lying 'neath
the green sod,
We love their memory and cherish
ever the spot
That was once our forefathers’ hallowed
plot.
Oh, hallowed plot! Oh, place more
dear!
Forget thee I never again, but to thy
memory drop a tear,
Anil henceforth in memory’s casket
reserve a spot
For recollections of places that were
almost forgot.

OBITUARY.
As the dull hours of Saturday
morning rolled uround the lone
spirit of Worth Shamblee took its
eternal flight into the great be
yond, und ‘’Honest Worth” is no
more. During the hot flash of
the first of September he had a
sunstroke, and was accordingly
stricken with a violent fever,
which resulted in his death. He
was laid to rest in the cemetery at
Sweet Water church, amid a large
concourse of sorrowing friends
and relatives. He wus about 45
years old and had never married.
Ho was a quiet, patient, high
toned Christian gentleman, noted
for his rigid honesty and inoffen
siveuess and devotion to the study
of tho Bible. The community
will sadly miss him, and his grief
stricken relatives have our sincere
sympathy. D, M. C.
Luxomm, Ga.,
IN XEKOBIUK.
On August 29th 1899, the death
ungol visited the home of Mr.
C. D. Gunter and carried away the
wife and mother. Mrs. Emeliue
Gunter was the daughter of Wil
liam and Margaret Davis, aud
was born Sept. 29th 1855, being
43 years and eleven months old at
the time of her death. Bhe joined
tho M. E. church, South, in the
year 1871, and lived a consistent
member of the same until her de
parture. Hhe was united in mar
riage with Mr. C. D. Gunter on
Dec. 10th 1880, and was the moth
er of 8 children—s girls and 8
boys, all of whom survive her.
She was a kind wife aud a loving
mother, aud was held in high es
teem by all who knew her. She
never murmured or complained of
what tho Lord sent upon her; she
was always found trusting in the
Lord. She called her husband
and her children, one by one, to
hor bedside and told them to live
right and meet her in heaven.
On the 3rd Sabbath m August,
as the people were passing going
from campmeetii.g she requested
that the door be opeued so that
she could see those who were pass
ing by, - and she looked as though
to say, “Some of you who pass I
have never saw before, and may
never see any of you again, but I
hope to meet you all in heaven,
some sweet day, by-and-by.”
She had upon her finger a ring
that her husband placed there be
fore they were married, which sho.
had worn for 21 long years, but
just a few days before she died she
called her husband and told him
to take off the ring she had worn
so long for his love.
We could say a great deal more
about this noble woman, but we
deem it unuecessaiy, for those
who knew her know that she was
a loving and christiun-hearted
woman. Besides her husband and
children, she leaves a number of
relatives and frieuda to mourn her
demise. We extend to them iu
this sad hour our heartfelt sym
pathy. J. T. Aderhold,

Two Crops From the Same Vines.
Mr. Willie Webb informs us
that he made two crops of water
melons this year from the same
vines. After the first crop ma
tured he cut off the vines and a
new set grew out fresh and green
in their stead. The largest melon
on the first crop weighed forty
pounds, and the largest on the
second thirty pounds. About five
weeks was required by the uew
vines in which r.ogrow out. —Wal-
