It has been demonstrated repeat edly iu every state in the Union and in many foreign countries that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is a certain preventive and cure for croup. It has become the univer sal remedy for }hat disease. M V. Fisher of Liberty, W. Va.. only repeats what has been said around the globe when he writes: “I have used Chamberlain’s Cough Reme dy in my family for several years and rlways with, perfect success. We believe that it is a sure cure for croup. It has saved the lives of our children a number of times. This remedy is for sale by Bagwell Drug Co. W. F. Beck, who is a citizen of Bibb couDty, sues the Western Union Telegraph Company for slo,ooodamage for the alleged de layed delivery of a telegram. He sets forth in his bill of complaint that through the alleged delay he lost to himself Miss Dora Ward as his wife. According to the plaintiff he sent a telegram from Repton, Ala., on June 19, 1899, addressed to Miss Dora Ward, Ceutreville, Ala., in which he stated that be would see her next day, and that a letter had been forwarded. The tele gram was not forwarded, he al leges, to another point, as the agent had been instructed by Miss Ward, until a long time after its receipt at that place, and through this delay he failed to win Miss Ward as his bride, the said failure to so win her causing him much mental pain and anguish, and se riously wounding and lacerating his feelings and affections. —Ex- change. “EARNEST WILLIE,” Tells of a Georgia Christmas Dinner WITH GEORGIA FRIENDS IN NEW YORK. An Enjoyable Treat in tbe Metropolis That Reminds tbe Writer of His Native State. New York, Christmas Week, 1899.—An old-fashioned Georgia Christmas dinner, with a charm ing Georgia family, eaten with the sauce and sandwich of Georgia reminiscences, in a cozy New York apartment!—such was the mixed luxury of a Georgia man who found himself an unwilling exile from “his own, his native land,” on December 25th 1 I had planned to spend that day with my Georgia “sweetheart” at Douglasville—a sweetheart who is young and beautiful at sixty—the dean-st mother in all the world, reader (except yours)—the moth er who, in the beautiful words of Tennyson, was “the morning star of my infancy,” is the “day star” of my manhood, and who will be, whether living on earth or beyond the skies, the “evening star” of my declining years. She came to me when I was cut down in the heydey of hopeful youth, and during the seven years of forced imprisonment on bed, watched over me. as T.F. Jefferies would say: “Like an angel bending o’er The sorrow of earth’s sin-stricken shore,” soothing me with a gentle touch aud a wealth of love such as no other hand or heart could give; blessing me with her unwearied ministrations —her praises, her smiles, her tears—tears that were crystal with the light of heaven. I had never spent a Christmas time away from that mother be fore; and when the imperative de mands of my work here decreed that I should not go home for the holidays, my disappointment, I confess, was hard to brook. Where shall I find the nearest solace for the distant absence of the hearthstone circle and all the reunion joys of “home, sweet home ?” More, for the moment, than the perplexities of troubled Britain or the patriotic Afrikan der and his heroic defense of his Transvaal homestead, did I revolve in my mind that simple question. Aud, as all men would have done who are heir to a normal share of human nature, I decided to seek the fireside cheer of a long-time friend, known and loved beneath Georgia’s sunny skies. He is James Griffin Daughtry, for many years a prominent insu rance man of Macon, and now caught in the centripetal whirl of New York prosperity, highly suc cessful in the same business here. Forth to bis op-town home I hied on Christmas morning, and there with Doughtry and his genial, ac complished, Georgia wife—who is a sister-in-law' of Atlanta’s ster ling citizen, Judge James A. An derson, and with his folicking children, happier than millionaires over the new aud lavish gifts of the undiscovered Santa Claus, we simply “bade dull care begone,” and gave ourselves up to the happy abandon of talking about every thing aud everybody we had kuown on Georgia soil. Aud when the dinner came ! It was such a dinner as no Gotham hotel has ever been able to offer to my southern palate. It was pre pared by a Georgia cook whom the family brought with them when they came, and to see how that faithful colored servant is treated and trusted by the children and WHAT WE EAT Is intended to nourish and sus tain us, but it must be digested and assimilated before it can do this. In other words, the nourish ment contained in food must be separated by the digestive organs from the waste materials and must be carried by the blood to all parts of the body. We believe the rea son for the great benefit which so many peopls derive from Hood’s Sarsaparilla lies in the fact that this medicine gives good digestion and makes pure, rich blood. It restores the functions of those or gans which convert food into nourishment that gives strength to nerves and muscles. It also cures dyspepsia, scrofula, salt rheum, boils, sores, pimples and eruptions, catarrh, rheumatism and all diseases that have their origin iu impure blood. parents in the family where she has spent seveu years, aud how she loves them in turn, is a beautiful commentary on the relation of the rnces in the south when the hearts of both are right. But the Georgia biscuits ! They were the first I had had since 1 came to New York (With all def erence to the cuisine of the north ern home and hostelry, be it" said, the Georgia biscuit cannot be du plicated here). They were like Veach’s “snowflake” shortened with fresh Georgia butter and crusted brown in a Georgia oven. They “touched the spring that un locked the past,” swung wide open the doors of memory and took me back to mv childhood days when 1 used to long for “company to eftme,” so that fried chicken aud biscuits baked in an old-fashioned “spider” on the hearth would be sumptuously served to all, and my red-beaded brother aud I would be given the “drumsticks” if we would “wait and be good boys.” I remarked at dinner that “Bob" Taylor could no more say that “Mason and Dixon’s line is the line between cold bread and hot biscuits,” for the genial Tennessee an’s humor had been punctured by the Georgia bisctiils in New York. The result of this delicious Christmas repast made me think of the “drooling red gravy” over which Henry Grady grew eloquent, and the “celery turkey aud sass,” which Sam Jones likes so well. Thus, with laugh and prattle and song aud story, Burns’ “gold en hours on angel wings flew o’er” that Georgia company, until by and by the shades of evening fell, aud around the sacred family al tar which has not been suffered to fall into decay amid New York’s rush of business, children and pa rents and servants and visitor gath ered, reading the family Bible,aud lifting their hearts to God whose “only begotten son” had brought this Christmas day of rest and praise and joy. Little wonder that after such a rare day,when,like Minnie Quinn’s mountain toiler, I had bathed my tired spirits in “a pool of social dviight deep as a true heart’s con tent.” I literally “drew the dra pery of my couch about me and lav down to pleasant dreams.” Next morning I arose feeling that I had renewed my youth, and was ready to lake up the white man’s burden with a zest impossi ble without such a refreshing ex perience. What an such a day I What an ailment to one’s social appetite I What a wealth of cheer sometimes comes to a stranger in a strange land to hear the unex pected music of a voice he heard one time at home, or catch even a passing glimpse of a pleasant face he has known before! Among the former well known Georgians who have occasionally contributed thus to my pleasures since I came to this big town are Remsen Crawford, with his classic features and always genial hand shake; Joe Johnson, with his au burn coronet, not more glowing than the heart of gold he carries within; Lucius Lamar, whose bril liant gifts have been turned from the press to law; Alfred Colquitt Newell, courtly and successful as when he wielded his Atlanta pen ; Robert Loveman, turning again his southern harp and singing with favor in the magazines; Will Har ben, with his beautiful Carolina wife, his handsome New York baby and his continent of fame; Ida Richards Compton, soon to bring from the press her second book, “The Conquerror,” which critics say will create a wholesome sensa tion; Mrs. Clifford Williams, for merly of the Wesh yan faculty at Macon, who is charming New York audiences with her rich south ern voice, and noble, knightly Thad Horton (Heaven bless his memory 1) than whom a gentler, kii.glier spirit never came from the many who loved him in Georgia, to win golden opinions in New York. He was the first of the Atlanta colony to meet me and do me a helpful kindness when I reached this great metropolis, and I feel a deep, personal bereave ment in his untimely death. If this gifted son of the south could have lived his ultimato success here would have been as conspicu ous as his upward march had been rapid since he came And Walter Howard—phenomenal Walter How ard! His broken health had car ried him toAsheville before 1 came, but I hear the newspaper men talk ing yet of the wonderful way he captured things from the start, reaching in an incredible short NEW * YEAR * ANNOUNCEMENT * OF JAMES H. McOEE. I !r. making this my first announcement for Nineteen Hundred, I wish to thank the people for the splendid patronage they have given me dur ing the past twelve months, and during the Next Twelve Months I am going to endeavor to give the people of Law renceville and Gwinnett county the best store they have ever had, and with the experience, re sources and help that I now have I think 1 can do so. I will continue to make a Specialty of Clothing. I have made a special effort in buying my Spring stock, and in a few weeks will show the largest and best assortment of Heady Made Cloth ing ever seen in Gwinnett county.

I have not yet had the pleasure of meet ing Robert L. Anderson and Miss Gertrude Eloiee Bealer, but am told that, like the other Georgians, each has won a sustained success. But I cannot tell more of Christ mas in New York, or the Georgia friends whose familiar faces are like stars that brighten in this northern sky. If I had time I would like to tell of the Salvation Army dinner to 28,000 poor in Madison Square Gar den on Christmas day; of the beautiful things Helen Gould has done for the poor—for her heart is even larger than her wealth; of the countless evidences every where that, despite the pessimist’s croak, ail the money of Gotham has not lost its conscience. Until I write again, a Georgia greeting to Georgia friends I Heav en bless them all as they glide safely and happily through tbe closing gates of the old year and into the shining portals of the new. Will D. Upshaw. WHAT THE PAPERS SAY About tbe solicitorsliip. Jackson Herald: After having transacted all the business of the city court. Col, C. H. Brand has gone to bis home in Lawrence ville. Col Brand is a candidate for re election for solictor general of this circuit, and it seems to us that he should be re-elected without op- j position. He was elected to the, office he now fills by the legisla-1 ture, but next time solicitors are elected by the people, and as Col. Brand has made a most excellent record as solicitor, he asks for an endorsement of his administration at the hands of the people, prom ising if elected this time he will not be a candidate for solicitor at the next election. There are other young men iu this circuit who are eminently qualified to fill the office accept- ably and honorably, and we favor the office being filled by young men, and some of our worthy young lawyers will be called on in in the future to occupy this place of trust and honor. But this time wo think Col Brand is entitled to an endorsement, as he has left a good, clean record behind him,and promises not to be a candidate for solicitor the next time. Banks County Journal: Among the incumbents who will stand for re-election, there are none more worthy than Charley Brand wh' will be a candidate to succeed himself to the Solicitorship of the Western Circuit. Col. Brand is not only an able lawyer but a vigilant prosecuting attorney —a courteous gentlemen polished and refined, with a fine record behind him as a vigilant of ficer and efficient prosecuting at torney. He will doubtless have opposi tion but the Democratic party of the western circuit will not depart from its usage and Col. Brand will be renominated and re-elected to a second term. Col. Brand has many strong friends iu Banks county and thro’ out the western Circuit, whc will heartily endorse his re-electi m— this having already been done by some of the grand juries of other counties. These grandjuries are composed of the representative tative meu of the different coun ties and they have found in him a valued friend—a fair and impar | tial adviser, hence these endorse ments. Winder Democrat: We have been hearing much praise for Hon. Chas. H. Brand, the faithful, pop ular and capable solicitor for this circuit, and we trust in due time present himself for re-election to the office. When we say—we want to see Col, Brand fill the office for another term, we believe we voice the majority of the voters. He has only had the place one term, but has become so well acquainted all over his territory and proved himself so worthy of the people, News-Herald I*" Journal, W eeSL. I f Only 31.25. I VOL. VIL-NO 13 and so competent a representative of their interests, that tor him to refuse a second term, would be an unfair and unappreciative act, that we hope he wont be guilty of. The Democrat wants to see Mr, Brand re-elected, not simply be cause he is our friend, but because he is the man for tbe place. He is thepeople's friend, For a certainty, we have not been able to learn whether or not anyone else will annouuoe for the place. But it is very likely that there will be another to enter. No matter though who it may be, we shall oppose him on the ground above stated—that Mr. Brand deserves a second term, and that it would be unfair to deny him of it, after such faithful and successful service. And by the way 1 am sure ho couldn't be im proved upon. Col. Brand is a clean politician, a faithful officer and a loyal Dem ocrat. We hope to be able to malte the announcement soon,that he will be in the race for renomi nation to the solicitorship. We would advise the readers of the Democrat, not to obligate themselves to anyone, before Mr. Brand announces, but remain solid for the man that has honored tbe office during the past two years and who has fulfilled every trust. y A THOUSAND TONGI’Et/^ Could not express the rapture of Annie E.
