T©lte the Whole Truth. From the Dougin* Breeze. The following letter from Surgeon C. P. VTestenbaker, who has been employed by the government to look after the small pox, cases in this and other counties, will explain the whole situation. We publish the letter in full without any comments. The reader can form his own conclusions and the Breeze will not dispute it in any shape: Ocii.la, Ga., Nov 16, 1899. Mk. C. A. Ward, Jr., Chairman Board Co. Com’rs., Douglass, Coffee County, Ga. Dear sir: 1 have been trying all day to reach Douglass, but find that to do so I would have to drive 30 miles exch way or go by rail around by WaycrosR at the expenditure of several days time. As the cases here at Ocilla are small pox, any of your physicians can see them and easily make a diagnosis. I am also informed that l)r. Brunner, of Sa¬ vannah, has seen your eases and has pronounced them small pox. Under the circumstances it is not necessary for me to see the cases as I would accept Dr. Brunner’s diagnosis as though I had made it myself. I have sent you pamphlets, which give you all necessary information as to what to do to suppress the disease, so I will not come to your county. I will he glad^to hear from you, and to know how you are progressing in the work of suppression. If you follow closely the instructions given in the plan for orgrnization you will be able to stamp out the disease promply. C. P. Westexbaker, Past Assistant Surgeon, Marine Hospital Service. Just Saved His Life. It was a thrilling escape that Charles Davis of Bowerston, O., lately had from a frightful death. For two years a severe lung trouble constantly grew worse until it seemed he must die of consumption. Then he began to use Dr. King’s New Dis¬ covery and lately wrote: “It gave instant relief and effected a perma¬ nent cure. Such wonderful cures have for 25 years proven its power to cure all throat, chest and lung troubles. Price 50c. and $100. Every bottle guaranteed. Trial bottles free at Dr. G. H. Macon <fc Co.’s drug store. Editor Brantley, of the Valdosta Times, has been presented a water¬ melon that will doubtless entitle Lowndes to the blue ribbon for all time to come. Editor Hanlon offers a gourd story that is the only mod¬ ern parallel to the famous Jonah gourd. Editor Herring, we believe, has been popularly regarded as the biggest potato liar in the state, but when it comes to that we are some potatoes ourself. We haven’t the Gazette’s figures and don’t know just what the latest record is, but don’t believe it has offered anything thatbeats this of which we are about to relieve ourself, Dr. D. A. Autry, of Autryville, reports a “yellow yam” weighing nineteen pounds, being as large around as a peck measure, as long as- your arm and free from wind shakes and wood¬ pecker holes. This potato lacks only one pound of being one-third of a bushel, and if Herring or anybody else will bring forward a larger one we will agee to eat it, provided they throw in a good, fat ’possum.— Moultrie Observer. An editor prints his paper to give his patrons the news of the day and for the monev there is in it. He is presumed to know what he writes, and he generally does. When he writes as he does in the Leader Courier, Osceola Mills, Pa., without fee or hope of reward, “that- Cham- berlain’s Cough Remedy acts magi- caliy, and we have found none bet- ter in our household. If you have * cough try it,” It may be accepted as an honest expression,' worthy of credenoe. For sale by Dr. G. II. Macon & Co, Sunday Dr. G. Y. Moore was sum¬ moned to see a sick negro on the place of Mr. H. S. Wethersfey, se ven or eight miles south of the city. The physician found the patient broken out with the small pox. The next day he and Judge Taylor went to see the sick man, whd lives by himself, and the Ordinary had guards placed around the house. The country people are being caccinated, and every precaution will be taken to prevent the spread of this dreaded disease.—Cuthbert Liberal. We, in common with the mass of the people have had little or no ac¬ cess to medical text hooks, and therefore, in our ignorance, sup¬ posed there was but one kind of small pox—the kind that kills from t twenty to fifty per cent, of its vic¬ tims; but the text books show four different kinds—that is, different as to severity. And the government expert backs up the text books and Rays we have small pox. We would : be foolish to longer doubt as to the nature of the breaking out, and are willing to accept it as small pox, because the expert says it is, and the text hooks say nothing differ¬ ent. But so long as it kills no one and is confined to the pest house, we shall continue to look upon it as an unpleasant but not deadly visita¬ tion. “Od6 Minute Congh Cure is the best remedy I ever used for coughs and colds. It is unequalled for whooping con >h. , Children /"Ii q j all n like it,” writes II. N. Williams, Centry- ville, Jnd. Never fails. It is only harmless remedy that gives i m- mediate results. Cures coughs, colds, hoarseuess, croup, nm ma, bronchitis Droucuitis and ana an all throat inroac ami ami lung troubles. Its early use prevents consumption K B. Alien & Co. In talking to some farmers, who were looking at an ear of corn, one of them said that there were always even rows of grain on a cob, that is there were either ten, twelve, four¬ teen or sixteen rows and never eleven, thirteen or fifteen. One of the party told a story of a slave holder, before the war, telling one of his slaves that if he ever found an ear of corn with odd rows on the cobb that he would grant him his freedom. The negro man took an ear of corn when in early roasting ear and pulled back the husk and cut out one row of corn The vacancy filled up, and when matured it could not be told that the row had been cut out. The slave got his freedom and it was many years after that the slave owner learned how it was done.—Ex. It takes but a minute to overcome tickling in the throat and to stop a cough by the use of One Minute Gough (Jure. This remedy cures all forms of throat and lung troubles. Harmless and pleasant to take. It prevents consumption. A famous specific for grippe and its after ef¬ fects. R. B. Allen & Go. The state of Georgia is now di¬ vided into four brigades of old Con¬ federate Veterans. Camps in the following counties compose the South Georgia brigade: Calhoun, Early, Miller, Baker, Dougherty, Mitchell, Decatur, Thomas, Worth, Colquitt, Brooks, Lowndes, Wilcox, Irwin, Berrien, Telfair, Coffee, Clinch, Echols, Montgomery, Ap¬ pling, Pierce, Ware, Tatnall, Lib¬ erty, Wayne, Charlton, Striven, Bulloch, Effingham, Bryan, Chat¬ ham, McIntosh, Glynn and Camden. General Peter McGlasham, of Sa¬ vannah, is commandant of th South Georgia brigade. Here is an object lesson which will not fail to interest a very con¬ siderable number of American peo¬ ple: Nails in 1898^-11,50. Nails in 1899—1-1.35. Increase in wages—10 per cent. Increase in trust profits—1.80 per cent. Increase in cost to consumer— 1.90 per cent.—Thomasville Times. Two visitors to Savannah blew out the gas and wore asphyxiated. Their remains were shipped home last night. D. W. Pope, a farmer from Scott, Ga., and D. M. Purdue, a merchant and farmer from the same place, was the other. -- The Ishmaelite received on last Saturday from J. A. Ivey the largest ear of corn which it remem¬ bers ever to have seen. It was from a patch, a quarter of an acre in size which yielded 27 bushels. This is at the rate of 108 bushels to the acre. The paper did not leaPn the name of the variety. It is a large grained white corn and is certainly prolific.—Sparta Ishmae¬ lite. Some of the boys over in Irwift and Coffee -call the Irwin “breaking out” the “Hanlon itch.” This is a misnomer. The itch once prevailing over there does not lead to multimo ny.—Tifton Gazette. Every lane, they say, has a turn. “It is disgusting to hear people speak scornfully of girls who have to work for a living. No sensible man is dazzled by the glitter of a jeweled hand, gold bracelet or a watch, all of which may have been bought on a credit A rosy-cheeked face in the kitchen is worth a dozen operatic fingers in the parlor paw¬ ing a piano and screaming, ‘A Flower from My Angel Mother’s Grave,’ when very likely the poor old mother is hanging out clothes in the backyard. It is all right to know how to appear as a cultured, refined and entertaining young lady, but to be supevintedent is far better than superficial airs.”—Acworth Post. The recommendation by the grand jury of Worth that the misdemeanor convicts of the county be used to work the public roads is one that is sensible and practical. Coupled with law lor - the . by , the ,, a pavment , county of the COurt officers’ costs in these it is one of the best laws any county can adopt.

After using two bottles of the 25-oent size he was cured. I give this testimo¬ nial, hoping some one similarly af¬ flicted, may read it and be benefited. — Thomas 0. Bower, Glencoe, O. For sale by Dr. G. H. Macon & Co. Newspaper work in Berrien coun¬ ty received a valuable addition when Miss Maggie Tennant, of the Adel News, entered it. Pure minded and conscientious, with high ideals, her writings are the kind that ennoble and elevate, and make the world better. Adel has a treasure in its little newspaper woman, and should esteem her for her true worth.— Tifton Gazette. Not only Ariel, but Berrien and other counties should give the Adel News, Miss Tennant’s paper, the hearty support genuine merit should ever receive. Mr. Clayton, who is in charge of the slot machines that have recently been introduced m Macon, was on Friday fined $1,000 by Judge Fel¬ ton in the Superior Court on an in¬ dictment found against him by the grand jury a few days ago. Mr. Clayton has not yet paid the fine and is in the custody of the officers. It is understood that indictments have been found against each per¬ son allowing the machines to be put in their places of business, and that the heavy fine assessed Mr. Clayton has made them all uneasy.
