LAWRENCFVILLE, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1899.
No man has ever been nominat
ed for the presidency from the
Senate, although many senators
have struggled hard to reach the
White House says exchange. Gar
field came near to breaking the
spell. He was a senator-elect
when he was nominated by the
Chicago Convention of 1880.
It does not now look as if there
is to be any changes in the office
of chief of police of Macon. Hon.
John T Boifeuillett has authorized
the positive statement that under
no conditions will, he be a candi
date for the office of clerk, and as
the office of chief of police is not
to be filled by an election at this
time, he w ill probably hold over
for at least another year.

Til I SCHOOL AT WILD CAT.
Having beeu elected to teach
you another school, I request you
to meet me at the Academy Dec.
14. 0:110 p. m. I urge that every
patron who is interested in the
school be present, as there is some
important business to be attended
to before opening the school Jan.
1, 1900. Let us all come together
on that night with good will to
ward euch other, and got the school
in good working order for the uext
term. Each and every one should
come together, realizing the fact
that educating his children is a
sacred duty. Educating your
children and preparing them for
the high and holy duties of man
hood and womanhood is obedience
to Divine Law. How, then, can
you keep your children at home,
raise them up in ignorance and
in the end say that you have done
your duty towards them? A few
are still found who are weak
enough to say that parents are
educating their children to cheat
and swindle people. Such people
have not the right view of educa
tion ; they give the word a very
narrow meaning, hence they have
a bad opinion of educated people.
Education is a harmonious devel
opment of all the powers—mental,
moral and physical. It takes this
to make a good man or a good
woman; when it has been ac
complished, the highest ideal has
been attained. It is my ambition
to give the boys and girls who
shall come under mo at Wild Cat
just such an education to the ex
tent that time and moans will
permit mo. Give me your hearty
co-operation, and I assure you
that I will labor with that tireless
energy which achieves such an
ambition.

The woman who is lovely in

A LETTER FROM TEXAS.
Sadler, Tex., Dec 4, 1899.
Editor News-Herald: En
closed find money order for two
dollars, for which please send the
News-Herald to Mr. Will Dutton
and the News-Herald aud Atlanta
Journal to me—each for one year;
our address is Sadler, Texas.
I came here about three months
ago with Newt. McConnell; we
wr re looking for work, which we
easily found ou the farm. The
farm hand commands a much bet
ter price here than in Georgia—
wages ranging from sl2 to $lO per
month.
This is a very fine couutry, the
laud being new and fertile. Cotton
will make an average of half a
bale to the acre, and corn 40 bush
els to the acre, aud sometimes
100, and you don’t have the fun
of spreading guano on it, either.
There are a great many people
here from Gwinnett county, and
most of them are doing well.
This is a much better country for
a young man to get a start in life
than in Georgia.
The people here are intelligent,
courteous aud hospitable, hut in
spite of all this Newt, couldn t
stand it.
B. F. Wood,
a sure"cure for croup.
Twknty-fivk Yraks’ Constant Uhk
without a Failure.
The Hrst indication of croup is
hoarseness, and in a child subject to
(list disease it may be taken as a sure
sign of the approach of an attack. Fol
lowing this hoarseness is a peculiar
rough cough. If Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes lioarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. It is used in many thou
sands of homes in this broad land and
never disappoints the anxious moth
ers. We have yet to learn of a single
instance in which it has not proved ef
fectual. No other preparation can
show such a record—twenty-five years’
constant use without a failure. For
sale by Bagwell Drug Co.

A FAMILY REUNION.
The Family of Curtis Lankford
Meet on Thanksgiving.
AND THE WEDDING BELLS KING OUT.
Braden, Ga., Dec 7, 1899.
That venerable old pioneer—l
speak the name with reverence—
Curtis Lankford ! Few names in
deed are more familiar to the pio
neer citizens of Gwinnett and De-
Kalb Counties; a name that scores
of great grand-children look upon
with pleasure, dignity and pride.
It was Thanksgiving, and the
offspring of this honorable old
landmark met at the old home
stead in a family reunion. Al
though many are now scattered
to the four winds of the earth,
yet most of them found time to
reassemble and enjoy a line feast,
which had been prepared for the
occasion. I assure you that all
present enjoyed the affair im
mensely, for I was present, and I
know a good thing when I see it.
After each individual had done
ample justice to the feust, the
gathering up reminded one of that
ever memorable occasion of the
loaves and fishes.
This reunion was held at tho
residence of Mrs. Laura McClain,
the mother of Miss Lillie Mc-
Clain, who was by far the star
feature of the occasion. Why ?
Being endowed with beauty and
grace and rare accomplishments,
she oould not be otherwise than
attractive. And then, on this
very thanksgiving, she surrendered
her heart and hand to Mr. John
Lansford, son of Mr. Woodward
Lansford. Tho marriage ceremoDy
was performed by Elder George!
Jackson. The writer thinks shej
sees a bright future for tho young
couple. At any rate, they have
hosts of friends who wish for
them a long and happy life.
The surviving children of Curtis
Lankford are, John, Nathan, Mrs.
Laura McClain, Coats and Wil
liam. Myutice.
On Thursday, Nov. 80, the de
scendants of Curtis Lankford met
at the old home pluce to observe
Thanksgiving day.
Curtis Lankford moved from
North Carolina and settled near
what is now Bradeu, P. O. in 1886.
He had eight children; three are
dead, the others are living, aud
were all present. There are 29
grandchildren—lß girls and 11
boys—29 great grand-children—ll
girls aud 18 boys; in all there
were about one hundred present.
It was really a day of thanks for
this noble and happy family—to
be together once more at the old
homestead and view the scenes of
their childhood - “The old oaken
bucket,” the orchard, the grape
vine swing, the wide spreading
shade trees, etc., was something to
be truly thankful for.
There had been prepared, by
the many good wives and house
keepers to be found among these

descendants, a bountiful Thanks
giving dinner which was tempt
ingly spread beneath the stately
shade trees.
But just before tho invitation
to this foaHt, the crowd assembled
in the parlor to witness the mar
riage of u grand daughter, Miss
Leila McClain, to Mr. Johnny
Lanford, Rev. Jackson officiating.
The attendants were: Mr. John
Pounds of Atlanta and Miss Jessie
McClain of Clarkston, Mr J. G.
Mewborn of Norcross and Miss
Lula Lankford of Braden, Mr.
Billy Corley and Miss Anna Lank
ford of Braden, Mr. and Mrs. John
Fleming of Atlanta.
Immediately after the ceremony
the party repaired to the above
mentioned feast, where your scribe,
at least, acted his part satisfacto
rily to himself, if not to others.
We had been to thanksgiving din
ners, to wedding dinners, aud to
reunion dinners, but never before
to all at once, so the results may
prove fatal.
We wish for the family a con
tinuation of past blessings, aud
lor the happy young couple a life
of prosperity aud happiness, aud
that they may have the same rel
atives present at their golden
wedding. A Friend.

THE SUNDAY I‘AFEK.
Father reads the war news.
Mother read* the parts
That give rules for making
Pillow shams and tarts;
sister reads the colam ns
Where they tell about
Clubs and teas and dances
And who’s coming out.
Aunt Jean reads the poems,
If they tell of love;
Once she had a fellow
Who has gone above!
Poor old foolish auntr!
Doesn’t know we know-*
Kind of sad to hoaaher
Sigh and snidle, though.
Father seoldsthe British—
Tells us war is wrong;
Says the weak may be as
Worthy as the strong;
Says that war is brutal,
Says it Isn’t fair—
ltoads and grunts and hammers
On his rocking chair.
Mother reads directions
Of a lot of kinds,
Aud declares they’re foolish,
But she always finds
Time enough to save them
For some future day- -
Never lets a single
item get away.
Sister says that none of
Those whose names appear
On her page are leaders
In the social sphere!
Sneers at what they’re doing.
Laughs at each affair,
And is mighty sorry
She wasn’t there.
Each selects a section;
News of war for dad,
Heoelpts for mother.
Poems that are sad
For Aunt Jean, while sister
Grabs “SocietT,”
Leaviug nothing but the
Sporting page for me!
