a MißAcn;ors escape.
Mr. Thomas O'Shields, son
and two daughters. Misses
Laura and Fannie, of Gwinnett,
county, and Mrs. T. P. Watts
sb'd little i>abe, of .Decatur,
near meeting with a se
rious if not fatal accident last
Sunday. They were on their
way to Chamblee and when they
came to a bridge that spans u
gully near Nancy’s creek, a
. sharp curve was turned, and the
mule which was blind, missed
•‘the bridge and foil into the big
di'ch. The left front wheel of
the wagon rested on the oppo
site i'.riik, the right hind wheel
on lije bridge, while the other
two wheels, like Mahomet’s
coffin, were suspended in midair
with the mule under the wagon
in the depths below. Fortun
. ately no one was seriously hurt.
Miss Fannie O’Shields was
slightly bruised in jumping
from the wagon, All the rest
of the party, including the little
babe, escaped uninjured. If all
had been thrown into the ditch
it would in all probability re
sulted seriously to at least some
of the party. Mrs. Watts says
it was a miraculous escape. —

TOO M t'CII TALK.
If reports are to be relied up
on Judge Candler, in sentencing
Perry, the condemned imirdere,
in DeKa'.b county, to be bung
was very severe in his remarks
to him, and emphatic in his
declarations as t lie facts of tilt
cise. Judge Candler is a good
judge, but in this he, with many
g a d judges, was wrong. A mo
tion lor a new trial had been
in ite in th i ca?e, and lie should
have restrained from any ex
pression ns to the facts, unti'
it was positiy ly settled that a
jury iu his court'would not
again pass upon them.
No doubt, but what he stated
was true. But a fair impartial
trial should be accorded even
man, and the sacredness and se
curity of it should be jealouslj
guarded. The minds of jurors
are too often effected by the
public sentiment and the opin
ions of others.
There might have been men
present, when the judge made
remarks, who would be called
oil to sit upon this case should
a new trial be granted. Some
of these jurors might be much
effected by the opinion of the
Judge and their verdict framed
to accord with his public declar
ation. The better practic*
should be to pronounce the sen
fence as the instrument of the
law that is sufficient. Talk i
cheap and sometimes danger
ous. Some of our Judges are
too talkative. “Silence is
Golden” truly sometimes.
LET US BE SENSIBLE.
Brave men have admiration
for each other without regard
to the cause in which they have
been engaged, and such meu ar.
always magnanimous. The
American people, as a wholo,
are brave. General Scott was
said to have been asked how it
was that he was defeated at the
first battle of Munsssus, when
ho had never lost a battle be
fore, and was reported to have
replied that it was the first tine
he had ever fought Americans;
and Henry Ward Beecher, when
asked why the Union troops
were sometimes defeated, said
it was because they were not
lighting British soldiers. With
a valor uneuquah-d, perhaps, in
the annuls of our history, both
sides fought in our late war.
Both sides could not be right,
but without discussing tliat
question here, both sides were
brave. But are we not overdo
ing the “gush’' business about
our camp-fires and soldiers
gatherings? Is it real or is it
cheap sentiment iudnlged in for
the particular occasion, that
calls it forth ? We think, in
the main, it is the latter. The
Confederate soldier does not
f*el called upon to make apolo
gies now, for what lie did then,
and lie dues not expect the Un
ion soldiers to do so. No one
can object to the .chaplet of
{lowers to the memory of deud
heroes, nor can humtn nature
'wind fault with the living for
cherishing recollections of those
who were dear to them. This
is true of both sides. Section

felling of fraternity should pre

PROHIBITION,
A MORAL AND CHRISTIAN
DUTY OF MODERN TIMES.
[The following paper was
prepared by Rev. I. M. Lake,
and read before the general
meeting at Mount Zion. | —En.

make no pretensions to the
cant and hyprocricy of the
Christian religion, burnish your
morals to the glittering stand
ard, then dispatch your daugh
ters to the firet. class saloons of
your cities to make purchases
behind the screens, then ask
God to give you more controll
over your temper as you listen
There is no such thing as
chrristian duty which does not
cover moral ground, but there
are Christian duties upon which
morality, in a strict sense, has
no right, to encroach. The sub
ject under consideration, how
ever, appeals equally to both,
notliwith standing the argument
in common use denying the
right of either to intermeddle
with the principles of liberty

LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, 7 UESDAY, MAY 18th 1897.
A STORE IN WHICH NOTH
ING IS EVER SOLD.
In Bainbridge, Geauga coun
ty, ().. not far from Cleveland,
is the queerest country general
store I ever ran across. Rain
bridge is a small hamlet, but
the store is as large and ns well
stocked as (lie average suburban
store. It is kept—that is pre
cisely the word for it —by an
old widower, who has no rela
tives in that section of tie
.country and is practically a her
mit. AVhen the civil war be
gan he was running a flourish
ing general store in Bainbridge,
and math* money during
the succeeding four years. When
peace was declared prices which
hail been grestely inflated, took
a sudden drop. The old fellow
believed that this Would be fol*,
lowed by a boom which would
send prices skyward again, and
refused to sell his goods for less
than lie paid for them. Down
went the prices—down, down,
down, —aird finally fie was
forced to close his store for want
of purchasers.
To-day his store stands al
most exactly a;s it did thirty
years ago. It is stocked with
such goods as are usually found
in country stores, but, of course
the Btock is now practically
wort I) less.
Every day the old man opens
up tbe place to give it ail air
ing. He is there, bio for bus
iuess, if any one chooses to buy
what he lias to sell, and is will
ing to pay what he asks.
“Why, sir,” he said to me,
“some of the calico I’ve got
here cost me sixty-five cents a
yard in 1807. Wouldn’t Ibe a

THE RAZORBACK.
Tbe razor back is a breed of
hogs raised in the South, befort
the war, and is still to tie found
in seme localities. He is built
on the swine cottage style of ar
chitecture. His ears lay back
with a devil may care air. His
tail has no curl, but hangs limp
as a dish rag. The highest [»*»iiit
of his corrugated back is 10
inches above the root of his tail.
He ignores the slow,stately walk
of'the Berkshire and goes in a
lively 2 10 trot. He always
trave.s as if he was trying to
catch a train which bad just
whistled for the station, and lie
had a quarter of a mile to make
to get there. The thorough
bred ruzorback prowls jaround
in the woods, living ou acorns,
nuts and roots and if necessary
can climb a tree like a monkey.
Occasionally he crowds under a
gate and assists in harvesting
his owner’s corn crop, and if he
has any time to spare from hi*
owner’s crop, he will turn in
and assist his neighbor, often
working at night rather than
See the crop spoil for want of at
tention. He never knew the
luxury of a sty. He wouldn’t
get fat it he could, and is only
fit to kill on the ilay of eternity
Crossing the razorb&ck with the
blueblood stock makes no im
provement. The only success
ful way is to cross him with a
locomotive going thirty miles
an hour. He then becomes an
important thoroughbred and
the railroad company pays for
him at the rale of 50 cents a
pound. The ham of a razor
back is almost as juicy as the
ham of an iron liredog; but not
quite ua good eating sussafras
bark. A man who is authority
ou razorbacks says a razorback
is tbe only bird of prey that is
amphibious in its habits and
can lift a gate off its hinges
without milling a feather.—

THE CLEVER WOMAN
A TRANSACTION WltlCII MAUI. 11l
HUSBAND HORRY FOR THU ol lIK
MAN.
Rilling was fall, very tall,
with an exqiisit • crop <>l red
hair, whereas Hoard) v was slim
and corpulent. On the trai .
home the of her evening t hey be
came involved in an argument
over the respective abilities of:
their wives as marketers.
“Mr. Hoardly,” Billings said,
“let me assure you, sir, that I
fully concur with you regard in ;
the ability of Mrs. Hoadly to
market, but, sir, Mrs. Billings
displays such remarkable »agaci
ty in her purchases that l have
never yet had an occasion to
question the advisability of
one.”
Hoadly’s cheeks puffed out
for a moment before he replied
“Well, Billings, I would not fm
the world question such *xccl
ent judgement as that of Mis
Billings, especially when l
think of her tasty little dinners,
but did I ever tell you of Mrs.
Hoadly’s experience with a
Washington market butcher? I
have always thought it the
smartest bit of marketing I ev r
encountered. You reinemb r
Porksides, the butbher, who
keeps a stall near the lower end
of the market?”
“I have heard Mrs, Billings
comment upon that person.’
“Yes, it was Mrs. Billings
that recommended him to Mrs 1
Hoadly, and this day, wishing
to buy some spring chickens, it
oecured to her to trv Porksides;
<
so she inquired:
“How many spring chickens
have you got today, Mr. Pork
sides? ’
“I have just six left • f !he
hatch,’ said he. “There ihe\
are, hanging on tbe hooks.’
“Now here is where Mis
Hoadly excelled in astutem-s)
and Homily’s face beamed
proudly as he told it.
“I’ll take three of them,’ she
said, ‘but as 1 keep a boarding
house J want you to pica out tic
three toughest. Possibly you
can let me have them a little
Ichs.”
“Ball!” exclaimed ’Billings.
“You don’t call that. a-dutene-s
do you?”
“Wait a minute, my deal
Billings. Porksides went i"
work punching those chicks till
he had selected the three tough
est. Just as lie has finished in
walked your wife, Mrs. Bil
lings.”
“After the two ladies had
greeted each other my wife turn
ed, and, to the utter astonish
ment of Porksides, totally dis
regarding the three tough chick
ens he had selected for her,
coolly informed him that she
would take the other time.
Now, wliaf do you think of that
method of securing tender
chickens?”
“A smart one, Hoadly.. Yes,
indeed, quite clever; in fact, al
most, as clever a thing as M s.
Billings would do. But then
it would be difictilt for any
bucher to fool her on cltickei s.’
Hoadly had been laughing so
hard over his story that it was
a moment or two before he re
alized what Billing had said.
When he did, lie sadly shook
his head and re’apsed into
thought for a moment.
“Billings,’ he finnally said,
“there was only one person in
that transaction 1 felt sorry
for.”
“Who? Porksides?”
“No, old man, it wawyou ”
“Me! What on earth did 1
have to do with it?”
“Well, you see, Billings, yi nr
wife bought the three tough
chickens,”—Harper’s Bazar.

TO BRING THE MINT BACK

ENI).
Washington, May 12—Heim
tor Clay introduced today a bill
providing for the re-establish
ment of the branch mint at
Dahlonega. Congressman Tate
will introduce a similar bill in
the house tomorrow.
The senutor and the congress
man fr.iui the ninth have been
acting together in this matter,
and they hope to get favorable
uction by this congress.
The bill carries an appropria
tion of SIOO,OOO and provides
for the usual officers necessary
in such an institution.
The Georgians claim that
there is no question of the needs
of a branch mint in view of the
rapid development of the min
ing interests in Georgia and tin
south, and inasmuch as Dali
lonega once had a mint, and us
it is in tho heart the gold
country, it seems "the proper
place.
Senator Clay saw the Secre
tary of the Navy today and
urged that Savannah be select
ed as one of the points of ren
dezvous of the naval war col
lege flotilla this summer. This
flotilla is for the purpose of ed
ucating the naval militia.

Some one lias said, “The

force in the United States to

that no force, no human force,
in the world is doing more to
bring about, oneness in Christ
Jesus. Denominational lines
are not obliterated, but they
ire not wide and broad as for
merly . In foreign fields, long
ago, missionaries were drawn
close together, and prayed to
gether and loved one another,
as they sought to bring the
heathen to a knowledge of
Christ. Such comity reminds
one of the early days in Jertisa

mind.” —Mrs. S. C. Trueheart,
in Review of Missions.
And behold in my dream 1
saw a woman fairand beautiful,
with downcast eyes standing he
fore the great King, the judge
of the millions on earth,and in
her train, though she beheld j
them not, nor knew of their at

multitude—little children, j
youths, maidens, mothers, !

on her with such eyes of bless

face of the King, with loving
curiosity as if they would read
it to see if the charms of her
they go loved would win from

durst not raise her eyes to His
face, hut. meekly answered, “O

Cleansed, I joyfully asked
“Lord, what wilt Thou have me

the throne came to her thesi
