Mr. B. S. Walker, of Monroe,
Ga., was in Lawrenceville Monday
afternoon, and visited the differ
ent proposed locations for our
factory, at the invitation of the
directors. In company with W.
M, Sasser, W. S. Witham, T. M.
Peeples and W. L. Vaughan, the
Peeples, Vaughan and Simmons
property was examined. The di
rectors invited Major Walker to
come before them and discuss the
practical questions connected with
the erection and maintenance of a
factory. His talk and suggestions
were valuable and highly appre
ciated by the board. Being one
of the most practical and expe
rienced factory men in the state,
his judgment and opinions were
given much consideration. He is
the president of the Monroe Cot
ton Mills, which has thribbled its
capacity and capital stock during
its short existence, under his suc
cessful management. He says if
our factory is wisely and properly
managed we will have to double
our capacity in twelve months,
and thinks inside of three or four
years the capital stock will be in
creased to two hundred thousand
dollars. He invited the entire
board of directors to go to Monroe
at his expense and personally ex
amine his factory before selecting
a site or erectiug buildings. Our
people are indebted to Major
Walker for bis kindness and in
terest in manifested in our new
enterprise, and wish him a long
life of future happiness and pros
perity.

MEMORIAL EAT.
At the court house on Memorial
Day the Daughters of the Confed
eracy held a most interesting
meeting in honor of the Veterans.
Throngs were in waiting when
the doors were thrown open at 11
o’clock. All the seats, except
those reserved for the Daughters
of the Confederacy and the school
children were quickly taken. On
the appearance of the battle scarred
Veterans the building shook with
applause.
After alt were seated, the chil
dren of the public schools, who
participated in the exercises,
marched in, to the sweet strains
of “Clayton’s Grand March.’'
To the right of the stand an
old Confederate battle flag was
draped.
Capt. T. M. Peeples presided
On the stand with him sat the Or
ator of the Day, Mr. James M.
Mitchell, of Atlanta, Misses Mary
Dixon Hutchins and Miss Minnie
Peeples, President and Secretary
of the Daughters of the Confed
eracy.
To the left of the speaker’s stand
sat the members of the Chapter,
who were distinguished through
out the day by their costumes of
white with the Confederate colors.
The first on the programme was
“Sweet Bye and Bye,” sung by the
audience.
Next was a ferbent prayer by
the Rev. Mr. Brazile.
After that a chorus, “The Bon
nie Blue Flag,” by the children.
Rrcitation, “Furl That Banner,”
John Houston.
Then came “Maryland, My Ma
ryland.
Recitation, “The Yank and the
Reb,” Miss Leize Vose.
Vocal Solo, “The Girl Behind
the Man Behind the Gun,” Miss
Lucile LaHatte.
Capt. Peeples next introduced
Mr. Mitchell.
To one who has ever had the
pleasure of hearing Mr. Mitchell it
is enough to say he did himself
jus’tice. His speech was eloquent
throughout, and appropriate to
the occasion. He referred to the
old time Southern gentleman with
great feeling. He concluded his
speech with the old but beautiful
poem, “The Confederate Bill,”
When the applause following
Mr. Mitchell’s speech subsided,
Capt. Peeples, by request of the
President, asked tor short talks
from the Veterans and Sons of
Veterans. The first to respond
was Col. Oscar Brown, Command
ant of the Sons of Veterans, who
read a most beautiful poem of his
own composition, written especial
ly for the occasion
After this Revs. Humphries and
Warlick made short but most
touching talks.
The enthusiasm reached its cli
max when Miss Daisy Ambrose,
organist for the occasion, played
the first strains of “Dixie.”
At the conclusion of this, the
Veterans, Sons of Veterans and
their friends repaired to the beau
tifully shaded lawD, where a sump
tious repast was awaiting them.
The dinner, as well as the previous
exercises, was enjoyed by all.
Each cue returned home with re
newed patriotism.
Mrs- Julia Brogdon Bead.
After several months’ illness,
Mrs. Julia Brogdon died last Sat
urday at her home in Suwanee.
Mrs. Brogdon was the wife of
Mr. Joseph Brogdon, deceased, and
mother of the late Dr. J. C. Har
ris and Mrs. J. W. Beaty, and
closely related to several other
prominent people of this county.
Her remains were interred at
Level Creek church Sunday amid
a large concourse of friends.
We extend our sympathy to the
bereaved.
Bsstructive Hail Storm.
Snellville, Ga., May 2nd.
Mu. Editor: —We have had the
largest hail «torm ever known in
our section. It lasted for 15 min
utes, hailing as hard, looked like,
as could, doing great damage,
breaking out wiudows from houses.
Broke all the windows in J. Saw

and east end, also most everybody’s

The woods looked like winter
time; limbs three-eighths of an
inch thick were torn from the
trees. We will not have any fruit
as it was ail knocked off
We have heard from Centreville
and Annestown where there were
hard winds but no hail. We can
not get connection to Trip.
Hoping no one else suffered as
we have, I am

Odd Fellows Celebrate Anniversary In
Gwinnett County.
Buford and Rock Creek lodges
are the only ones directly known
to have obs rved the 81st anniver
sary ; how ever, several other lodges
joined in these celebrations, "S
--pecially Zion Hill’s lodge at Bu
ford.
Buford had made every necessa
ry arrangement for a day of real
pleasure on this occasion. The
bank, of course, was closed, being
an annual holiday, but as we un
derstand, the factories were closed
on account of the 1. O. O. F. pic
nic, as a good per cent, of the
employees belong to the order.
A good crowd assembled at the
big spring early in the morning,
and considering the music by the
Richardson band, together with
comments on the order by the
speakers, would have pleased any
one, to say nothing of the good
dinner that had been prepared.
Buford carries the blue ribbop
as the banner Lodge of the coun
ty in membership and attendance
All official report read by Capt.
Bill Smith showed that SI2OO has
been paid by the lodge for sick
benefits and burial expenses since
its organization. Zion Hill lodge
also made a good showing in this
respect.
Cap?. W. T. Smith was the
speaker of the day, and made a
most excellent speech, giving a
full discourse of the origin of the
order. Several others also made
interesting speeches.
If any difference in the enthu
siasm shown by both gatherings,
it was purely a case of both places
winning.
From the fact that Rock Creek
lodge has a membership of only
twenty-two, and had prepared five
shoats and two beeves for this oc
casion, is evidenoe alone that a
great crowd was on hand, when it
is reported that a nice per eftut. of
the viauds were consumed. This
is a thriving lodge, and rankß
among the first of the country
lodges of the county. Splendid
music was a very important feat
ure of the oocasion, and great
credit is due the youug ladies of
the community for the part played
iu this respect. It was just such
a gathering as everybody enjoys.
The children were there iu their
usual gayities; the good mothers
and babies helped to make the
party, so nothing was short to
mar the pleasure of the occasion.
Mr. Bud was master of cer
emonies, and Col. L. F. McDon
ald of Lawrenceville, together
with several others, did the speak
ing.
A full description of both cele
brations would be nothing loss
than to say that a great day was
spent, with credit to the order and
pleasure to all who attended.
Possibly a little historical nar
ration would not be out of place
in this article.
The I. O. 0. F. was organized
in Baltimore, Md., April 26th
1819, by Thomas Wildley, a young
English mechanic, with four mem
bers, making one lodge and five
members. Today there are ovjr
twelve thousand lodges and near
one million members. There are
more than five thousand Rebekah
lodges, with a membership of
more than one hundred and ninety
thousand, making a total mem
bership of more than one million
members.
From 1830 to 1898 there were
$1,000,000 paid for burials, sick
benefits, widows and orphans;
over 240,000 widows and orphans
cared for.
In 1898 there were near 66,000
initiations; over three million
dollars expended by the lodges.
To speak of the countries where
the order of I. 0.0. is known it is
sufficient to say that the sun never
sets on her halls or members.

CATARRH CAN BE CURED BY

A Win lut Veoermbls Doctor Talks about Advanced Science.
In a leading hotel, in a great city, a famous and aged physician was convers
ing. Listening to his wise and sententious discourse, were a group of well
dressed men, evidently lawyers, business men and commercial travelers
My firm belief, is ’“that medical science is certain yet to show that all dis
eases without exception are caused by invisible germs which are living organ
isms. Here is the germ of that terrible disease diphtheria. Here is the oacillns
of typhoid fever; and here is the still more dreadful bacillus of tubercle which
causes that most destructive of ail diseases, consumption. This of that very
common and supposed incurable disease, catarrh.”
“ t wish, Dootor,” said the traveling man, “ that you would teU us about
catarrh. I have had it for years, and lam thoroughly discouraged.’*
The Doctor answered. “Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typhoid
fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the blood
and attacking specially the mucous membrane. This foul and most disgusting
disease is especially prevalent in the United States and it i« rare to meet one
who is not, or has not been troubled more or less with it. How often Is he or
she obliged to remain at home from pleasant entertainments, deprive themselves
of many intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from ca
tarrhal affections. In its worst phase, the patient becomes loathsome both to
himself and his friends.
“ I believe,” continued this gr«*At physician, “that the true way to heal ca
tarrh is to medicate the blood. This cs übe done only by powerful alteratives
which act as blood purifiers.”
Betsy A. Marett, of Manistee, Manistee Co., Mich., writes:
Dear Sirs:—For ten years I was a sufferer from general debility and chronic
catarrh. My face was pale as death. I was weak and short of breath. I could
hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing in my head all the time. My
hands and feet were always cold. My appetite was very poor. On getting up
in the morning, my head swam so I was often obliged to lie down again. I had
awful pains iu the smalt at my back. 1 had a continual feeling of tiredness.
My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and I couldn’t go half a dozen
steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise caused me to have
a pain in my side. It sesnied as though the blood had left my veins. The doc
tors said my blood had all turned to water. I had given up all hope of ever get
ting well. I tried the best physicians in the state, hut failed to get any relief.
My husband got me a bottle of Johnston's Sarsaparilla. I took It, ana then I
bought another. When these had been used, I was somewhat improved in
health. I continued its use, and felt I was growing stronger; my sleep was re
freshing, and it seemed as if I could feel new blood moving through my veins. I
kept on taking it, and now consider myself a well and rugged woman. I work
all the time, and am happy, lam positive that the Sarsaparilla saved mv life.
The sick headaches I have had since childhood, have disappeared, and my ca
tarrh has almost entirely left me. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnston's
Sarsaparilla has done for me. I recommend all women who have sick head
aches to use your Sarsaparilla.
