We are iu receipt of “Every
Body’s Magazine,” published at
74 East Ninth street, New York.
It is a ten cent illustrated period
ical, full of good reading matter.
Joe Wheeler is a good soldier,
and he uever backed from ths
Yankees nor the Spaniards; but
Aguinaldo and the Philipinos are
too much for him, and he has
given up his job, and is now on
his way back home.
An exchange is pleased to re
mark: “The lawyer, the doctor,
the preacher, and even the editor,
is criticised for the efforts ho
makes iu the line of duty. The
man who attempts or expects to
please everybody in all he does or
savs is not comprehensive of the
impossibility of his difficult un
dertaking.”
We received even fifty new sub
scribers and renewals to the News-
Herald last week, and on two
days it rained so much that there
were but few people in town. At
the end of this month we expect
to publish the largest list of sub
scribers that the News-Herald has
ever secured during the month of
January.
Dr. W. W. Landrum, on re
turning rrom Cuba, says: “One
of the first men I saw in Havana
was Sam Small. He is the editor
of the liveliest newspaper printed
on the island. It is called “The
Journal,” and is the leading
newspaper printed in English in
Havana The Journal is a free
lance, and Sam Small makes the
fur fly everv time he takes his pen
iu hand.”
• Every Democratic paper iu the
Western circuit, except the Wal
ton Tribune and the Athens Ban
ner, have come out squarely for
the re-election of Hon. C. H.
Brand as Solicitor General. This
shows that the News-Herald waß
correct in saying that the people
are for Mr. Brand, and are anx
iously awaiting the time for the
election of Solicitor General by
the people to stamp their approval
upon his record with their ballots.
Carrollton has two papers, the
Carroll Free Press and the Car
rollton Times, which are engaged
in a bitter fight against each
other. Of course, the merchants
have to advertise in both papers
and all candidates for county
offices this year will be foroed to
pay for two announcement cards.
This predicament of affairs is to
be deplored, but this is political
year, and the people are going to
have a “hot time” anyway.
The Atlauta Constitution says.
“The theory of the Constitution
is now and always has been that
the man who refuses to support
bis county paper, no matter wheth
er he agrees with the editor or
not, cannot be depended upon to
aid in the growth and develop
ment of his town or his communi
ty. The man who takes any paper
at all should take his home paper;
if he makes this small investment
he will soon betray a desire to
widen his point of view, and will
patronize, in additiou, some wider
field of operation.”
That there ought to be a clock
on the court house is the opinion
of every one with whom we have
talked, and we have mentioned
this matter to a great many peo
ple in the last few days, both in
Lawrenceville and from the coun
try. The people do not wish to
have their money spent foolishly,
but this is a public necessity, and
a clock could be placed upon the
cupulo, which seems to have been
built for that purpose, at a very
small cost. In the City court and
the Superior court the judges are
very strict in requiring all per
sons, interested in the courts, to
be in attendance on time; and, as
V there are the eastern, central and
sun''timeß, often there is such con
fusion that a person hardly knows
when he is wanted in the court
house. We were present at the
opening of the last session of the
Superior court, and know of one
member of the Grand Jury, who
was standing on the court house
steps waiting for the time, by his
own watch, to go inside. He wait
ad just a little too long, and when
he took his seat his name had al
ready been called. Of course, his
services were no longer needed,
and he returned home. This is
only one of the many instances
occurring during court weeks
which show that we need a clock.
The judges have fined Borne for
being late. Many others have
been so afraid of being fined, that
they have gone into the court
Jiouse much ahead of time.

One of our fairest young ladies
had a beautiful little dog given
her recently by her fellow, and be
fore it become %cquaiuted with
some of our streets and gullies,
met with a sad and almost fatal
catastrophe. The little dog was
not ordinary, by any means, hav
ing naturally not as much tail as
a rabbit. He was accosted on a
bridge on Railroad street, which
spans a very deep gully, by a new
acquaintance of the canine tribe,
and the little dog becoming ex
cited, fell from the bridge, sustain
ing a fractured collar bone and
dislocated both legs. Great ex
citement prevailed for a few mo
ments,but soon the doctor arrived,
and after making a careful exami
nation, pronouced the injuries not
necessarially fatal, and by cari
ful nursing might recover. The
young man was aD eye witness to
the accident, anil it is said was
for a time almost completely upset.

STORY OF A SLAVE.
To be bound head and foot for
years by the chains of disease is
the worst form of slavery. George

been so helpless for five years that
she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters, she is wonderful
ly improved, and able to do her
own w<rk.” This supreme reme
dy for female diseases quickly
cures nervousness, sleeplessness,
melancholy, headache, backache,
fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a
godsend to sickly, run
down people. Every bottle guar
anteed. Only 50 cents. Sold by

THE FIRST BABY,
Its Coming is Looked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and its
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All.
The arrival of the first baby In the
j household is the happiest and most im
portant event of married life. The young
wife who is to become a mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, “mother.”
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An indescrilmble fear of the
danger attendant upon theordeal soon
dissipates her Joyfulness.
Thousands <*f wbmen have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at
i tend child-birth; they know that by
| the use of "Mother’s Friend” —a scien
tific liniment —for a few weeks before
the trying hour, expectant mothers can
so prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain ami suffering of ths
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
it is safely passed through with com
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and es
pecially expectant mothers who for tht
first time have to undergo this trial, il
such a remedy; for they know the pail
and suffering, to say nothing of the dan
ger, which is in store for them. “Moth
er’s Friend" is woman’s greatest bles
sing, for it takes her safely through thl
severest ordeal of her life. Every womai
should be glad to read the little book
“Before Baby is Born,” which contain
information of great value te all. Il
will be sent free to any one who stndl
their address to The Brad field Begu
later Co., Atlanta, Ga.
HARRIS ACADEMY.
W. A. Wood, of Harbins, was
up Saturday. He says we must
have the dog law.
Our Sabbath-school is moving
along nicely under the supervision
of John W. Bennett, who is a tire
less, energetic man, and a dear
lover of Sunday-schools,
It seems that the century ques
tion is agitating the minds of
some. We think this the 19th cen
tury, as this is the 1900th year; as
it takes 100 years to make a centu
ry, it would take 1900 to make 19
ceuturies, and next year will be
the beginning of the 20th century.
As it is with the day of the month,
we don’t wait for the day to pass
before we count it.
There will be singiug and Sab
bath-scht»ol at New Hope Sunday.
Prof. G. W.Cowsert is expected to
be present.
We think those who keep trained
bird dogs and kill all our birds
should pay a tax. And if the
grand jury would consider this
bird-hunting profession, they
would surely return a verdict for
the plaintiff.
Mrs. Davis, we are Bo;ry to say,
is no better.
We think if powder, fuse and
dyiiamite holds out, Mr. Bennett
will have plenty of water. And
we hope without the cost of any
more life.
Out people were somewhat dis
appointed on account of there be
ing no preaching Sunday.
Our school is doing well with 70
enrolled,and all seem to be pleased,
or at least we hear nothing to the
contrary. May peace, love, union
and success hovdr about our little
community, and much good be
done, is our prayer.
