me up, saying I could live but a short

termined if I could not stay with my
friends on earth, I would meet my absent
ones above. My husband was advised to
get Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con¬
sumption Coughs and Colds. I gave it a
trial, took in all eight bottles. It has

BIDS ADIEU TO POPU¬
LISTS.
Mr. IV • A, Poo lias returned to
the democratic | arty. He was tel¬
ling his friends recently that he
had come back to the fold and
would spend the rest of his life
with his old time friends. He has
been active among the populists
and has been a power with them.
To a Telegraph reporter he said:
“I am obliged to leave the the
populist party. It is a thing of the
past in Geoigia, and I am advising
all of my populist friends to leave
it and go to the party that is clos¬
est akin to them. I can’t recom¬
mend the republican party, and I
shall come back to the democrats.
They have absorbed a great part
of the populist platform, and we
can afford to join them. I think
we have a great deal to congratu¬
late ourselves for. In eight years
we succeeded in having the strong¬
er pari y take up many ofthe planks
of our little party, and that is a
great deal . I am doing like Seab
Wright in Floyd county. He is
running for the legislature now on
the democratic platform having
sized up Ihe situation as I have in¬
dicated, and ho is right in doing
so.”—Macon Telegraph.
PYTHIAN SECRETS.
One of our valiant Knights has
taken on quite a dignified and ser¬
ious rooks during the past week or
ten days.
Our Representative to the last
Convention will perhaps be able
to make his report at our next
meeting, Friday night, June 1st.
Who will w r e select for D. G. C.
for the present terms? Let the Boys
think of this as his name must be
sent to the Grand Chancellor, for
Confirmation very soon.
Bro. J. H. Turner lias had a
letter from Bro D. S. Hudson, in
which he states that both himself
and Bro Gleaton are in good health
and enjoying their stay in Cuba.
Bro E. H. Almand and his bat¬
talion of the 29th Infantry have
gone on a Scouting Expedition to
some of the wildest Islands of the
Philipine, may they all return
with whole skins.
Brunswick was selected as the
place for holding the next Grand
Lodge Convention. The good peo
of that city know how to entertain
and will doubtless make it very
pleasant for the Knights at their
next convention.
Bro. J. M. Almand and Col. J.
R. Maddox were thrown from a
buggy while driving to Atlanta
one day last week. Bro. Almand
escaped with a few scratches, but
Col. Maddox was severely, though
not dangerously hurt, and is still
confined to his bed.
A Lodge tvith thirty-one charter
members will be instituted at Mon¬
roe very soon. Special D. G. C.
J. T. Wiley of Atlanta, has again
called on Emerald Lodge to fur¬
nish a team to assist him. We
are much obliged to Bro. Wiley
for the compliment. It shows
that he appreciated our efforts in
the institution of the Lodge at
Covington a few weeks since.
Bro. Stark returned from Fitz¬
gerald, where he had been in at¬
tendance on the Grand Lodge Con¬
vention, last Wednesday night.
After the Grand Lodge adjourned
he intended to visit several of the
South Georgia towns, but after a
few days fishing near Abbeville he
was taken quite sick and returned
home. He was very sick for seve¬
ral days but is able to be on the
street again.
Mrs. Evans, nee Miss Sadie
f owler, of Covington is the guest
of Mrs. J. R. Maddox this week.
A party consisting of Judge G.
W, Gleaton, wife and two daugh¬
ters, Misses Lucy and Sallie Fan¬
nie, and Judge A. C. MeCalla left
yesterday for Louisville, Ky., to
be in attendance of the United
Confederate Veteran’s Reunion.
He Fooled The Sugeons.
All doctors told Renick Hamilton, of
West Jefferson, O., after suffering 18
months from Rectal Fistula, he would
die unless a costly operation was perfor¬
med; but he cored himself with five
boxes of Bncklen’s Arnica Salve, the su¬
rest Pile cure on Earth, and the best
Salve in the World. 26 cents a box.

Remarkable Cure of Rheumatism.
Kenna, Jackson Co., W. Va.
About three years ago my wife had an
attack of rheumatism which confined
her to her bed for over a month and ren¬
dered her unable to walk a step without
assistance, her limbs being swollen to
double their normol size. Mr. S. Mad¬
dox insisted on my using Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm. I purchased according a fifty-cent
bottle and nsed it to the direc¬
tions and the next morning she walked
to breakfast without assistance in any
manner, and she has not had a similar
attack since.—A. R, Parsons. For sal®

The Best in the World.
We believe Chamberlain’s Cough Re¬
medy is tho best iu the world. A few
weeks ago we suffered with a severe cold
and a troublesome cough, and having
read their advertisements in our own
and other papers we purchased a bottle
to see if it would effect us. It cured us
before the bottle was more than half
used. It is tho best medicine out for
colds and coughs.—The Herald, Ander

The great; eclipse of the sun on
la6t Monday morning came off as
was predicted by the scientist. It
was very near total in Conyers.
Darkness fell upon the earth and
everything presented a most weird
appearance. The sky was perfect¬
ly clear and the view of the entire
passage of the moon across the
sun’s disk was perfeet. Everybo¬
dy had a good chanch to view it

It is a common thing for people
to Freak engagements and these
remarks from tbo Marietta Jour¬
nal are worthy: t i Yes when you
make an engagement of any kind,
be punctual in meeting it. when
you promist a time, be sure you
come to time. Punctuality is not
a negative virtue. It is worth much
to the character of the man who
exercises it, and it helps his achiev
ments in life in so small degree.
More than this, the man who is
not punctual perpetrates a fraud
on thosewith whom he deals. He
induces them to except his prom¬
ises to meet a time, and then de¬
frauds them of their time by keep
mg them waiting. The time of
some people is not worth much ;
but with others, time is worth a
great deal, and to rob them of it is
a serious matter. Mr. Washington
was not a severe when he said to
his tardy secretary. ’You must get
you a new watch, ’or I must get
me a new secretary.’”
