From this issue, the News-Her
aid zrill be published on Thursday
morning in each week, and it will
be necessary for everything for
publication to r?ach tbi> office
not later than Tuesday night.
As a matter of business, we have
decided to cut off all our agents
to the News-Herald. Every coun
ty paper that we get in exchange,*
so far as we have examiued. costs
dollar a year, and we can’t af
ford to give subscriptions to any
one tor lees than seventy-five
cents.
Samuel J. Winn is making an
excellent record as Judge of the
City Court. The rapidity with
which he decides all legal ques
tions, the accuracy of his decisions
as well as bis high sense of dnty
to meet ont justice to all, has won
for him the universal praise of the
people of the couuty.
We have been publishing a good
many interesting letters from
Texas. Not with a view, howev
er, of offering inducements for
onr people to move out there.
But there are but few families id
Gwinnett connty that dc not have
relatives in Texas, and for this
reason alone these letters are high
ly interesting to our readers.
Among the most contempt
able and deepisable of men is the
‘■sneak,” who never comes out
into the open to oppose you, but
like a midnight assassin is ever
ready to stab you iu the dark.
An enemy deserves respect so
long as he is open in bis opposi
tion, bnt when any man stoops so
low as to wrongfully abuse his
fellowman in the secret, he onght
to receive the hatred of every man
with whom he comes in contact.
God deliver ns from secret ene
miee.
The Cotton States Association
of Commissioners of Agriculture
at its recent session in New Or
leans petitioned the governors and
legislatures in every cotton state
to pass laws requiring that full
reports of the number of acree
planted in cotton, its condition
daring its growth, estimates of
the yield, number of bales raised,
be made at stated times to the
Commissioner of Agriculture.
This is a move in the right direc
tion, and sDould the cotton states
enact these laws as petitioned by
the Cotton States Association, the
cotton speculators would have no
opportunity to practice deception
about the size of the crop, and
the farmers could always know
with some certainty at least wheth
er it would pay to hold their cot
ton.
In anothbr column appears a
financial report of the disburse
ments of the public money of
Gwinnett oouDty for 1899, as
gathered from the vouchers in the
hands of County Treasurer, Mr.
C. D. Jacobs. Such a report has
never been published in the News-
Herald before, vet we think that
the people have a right to know
and ought to know how and where
their moDey is spent, and we have
gotten up this report for this ob
ject aloDe. It is not our purpose
to show that any money has been
improperly spent, nor to make
any criticisime at all, bat we
kuow that tax payers in the coun
ty are interested in knowing how
the money is disposed of and to this
end the report appears. The rea
son that the expenditures exceed
the receipts is that some of the
money collected last fall has been
used. Also part of the Clerk’s
and all Mr. Hadaway’s fees were
for 1898. To Mr. Jacobs, for
his kind assistance in this work,
we extend, in our own behalf
aDd in behalf of the people of
Gwinnett county, thanks,

Dr L.vM. Gillatn, who practiced
medicine oVer forty years in Atlanta,
originated, used and claimed that Bo
tanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.) which has
now been in use about forty years, was
the best Tonic and Blood Purifier ever
given to the world. It never fails to
cure the most malignant Ulcers, Sores,
Rheumatism,Catarrh, and all skin and
blood diserses. Beware of substitutes.
Use this standard remedy. Price per
large bottle SI.OO.
CATABBH COKED AFTEH SEVERAL DOC
TORS FAILED-
I have been afflicted with Catarrh
for many years, although all sorts of
medicine and several doctors did their
best to t 'ire me. My blood was very
impure, and nothing ever had any ef
fect upon the disease until 1 used that
great Blood Remedy known as Botanic
Blood Balm, a few bottles of which ef
fected an entire cure. 1 recommend it
to all who have Catarrh. I refer to
any merchant or Banker of Athens,

Mrs. Hayes From an Operation.
[unn to ku niiuii no.
“ DiabUm PmaxAM—Words cannot
express mj thanks to you for your kind
advioe to ms in ragard to my health, 1
had been running down in health for
about seven years. I had doctored
with good doctors and taken a great
many patent medicines. My trouble
began when my first child was born.
I had a very bard time and after its
birth would hare severe flooding spells.
“ After my second child I had very
good health until last winter when I
again became pregnant and suffered
very much and miscarried. I came
very near dying, and the doctor said I
must have an operation, which fright
ened me very much, and concluded to
write to you for your advioe, and take
your medicine. Was troubled with the
whites, great pain in back and hips,
sometimes when lying down or sitting
was unable to get up. Would have
such pain in groins could hardly walk.
" I can say I have never seen any
thing so wonderful as Lydia E. Pink
ham’s Vegetable Compound and Sana
tive Wash. Your remedies have done
wonders for me. Hoping that many
of my suffering sitters may be led to
take your medicine from reading this
latter. I remain, sincerely yours, Mas.

Letters like the foregoing should
convince everyone that Mrs. Pink ham's

QUESTION ANSWERED
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers
aud grandmothers never thought
of using anything else for Indiges
tion or Billiousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldsm heard of
Appendecitis, Nervous Prostration
or Heart Failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the ac
tion of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, aud that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with
headaches aud other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green’s
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is noth
ing serious the matter with you.

Who says this is not the 20th
century ? At the beginning of the
Christian era did it not take the
first second to start the first min
ute, the first minute to start the
first hour, the first hour to start
the first day, the first day to start
the first week,the first week to start
the first month, the first month to
start the first year ? And then
when eleven more of these months
had passed the first y«ar wss com
pleted, and at the very next tick of
the clock we were living iu the first
second of the second year, although
we were only one year and ene sec
ond old. This first year was the be
ginning of the first century, which
took one hundred years to com
plete, After the first century had
expired then we were living in the
first hour of the second century,
yet we were only one century and
one hour old. So it is 19 centuries
have passed, and we are living in
January, or the first month, of the
20th century, although we are only
1900 years and a few weeks old.

egg-sucking dog. Second, the
bread that feeds them would feed
very near as many hogs, and the
time lost with them would per
haps he better employed. Third,
the tax paid on them would, as
Mr. Glenn says, come back for ed

more than dogs
