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. F. Marion Reeves. Windsor, Ga. NO RIGHT TO UGLINESS. The woman who is lovely in face, form aud temper will always have friends, but one who would bo attractive must keep her health. If she is weak, sickly and all run down, she will be nervous and ir ritable. If she has constipation or kidney trouble, here impure blood will cause pimples, blotches, skin eruptions and a wretched oomplexion. Electrio Bitters is the best medicine in the world to regulate stomach, liver and kid neys aud to purify the blood. It gives strong nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin, rich com plexion. It will make a good-look ing, charming woman of a run down invalid. Only 50 cents at A. M. Winn & Son’s Drug Store. 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.

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 811535 i? ft 1? 38318 News-Herald j l-»- Journal, Only $1.25. j O nlfiffd fijfu Piffi Cqp3 S Stpls73 Si OS6WB?

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.
