The News-Herald. ■nt«r#d at th« Lawrenc«viUe poatofice as •mobu-class mattar. _____ PUBLISHED EVEKY THURSDAY Offlctel Otgan Gwinnett Connty. Lawrencerille Publishing Co., Proprietors. JAMES A. BAoWELL, Editor. J. A. PERRY, AMooiato Editor. 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. SUWANEE Preaching at the Baptist church Sunday b*y the pastor. E.W.

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.

Williams, of Manchester, Mich., tells how such a slave was made free. He says: “My wife has 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.

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. SHERIFF SALE. (^EOHGIA— Gwinnett County.
