creasing every year,
deaths from nervous collapse
,-jong our business, profess-
Sal and public men are so
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without ap
parent reason, or under so-called
“depression of spirits,” are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is n iruitlui
so-irco of insanity and crime
w i t h all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life of
the nation. They assail the
springs of its power and pros
perity. They wreck manhood’s
strength and woman’s useful
ness and beauty. .
Every one should know, the
causes. What are they ? The
answer is easy # and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the in-
’ tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pov
erty; the use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night Into day; and, briefly,
our. desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hour’3
pleasure or success. So we
bum life's caudle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, Assim
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded or des
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starved;
even when there is no emaci
ation to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its warnings:—headache
in the morning; a persistent
dull heaviness or aching at the
base of the brain; wakefulness;
loss of appetite and disgust with
food; loss of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anx
iety without any assignable
reason; eructations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occn-’onal giddiness;

The Parson Yelled "Fire.”
From the Pittsburg Press.
1 hey tell a story on an Alleghany
preacher,which, to tho best of nty
knowledge, has not as yet been in
print It occurred on a very warm
day last summer, the congregation
was drowsy. The preacher was a
long talker, and after his sermon had
been spread out over the better part
of an hour the congregation was
drowsier. Heads began to drop on
tho respective chests thereunto aper-
taining, aud long, deep breathing be
came noticeable in various parts of
the church. Then the preacher be
§ an to lower his voice gradually.
top by step ho roduced his elocution
Trom a fortissimo tenor pitch to a low,
soothing bass until eventually his
voice died out altogether. He looked
carefully over the congregation. All
was still as death. No one stirred.
All were nodding. Then the optics
or the indignant servant of the Lord
tilled with gore.
Ho leaned over the pulpit, away
over, waited an instant in that pos
ition, and then suddenly he yelled
‘ Fire! iirel” in a voice which 6cntits
reverberations through every nook
and cornor of tho odiflee. That
brought the congregation to life as
though a bond) had burst under them.
One old deacon jumped up and
yelled:
"Where? Where?"
That’s where tlv gag came iu, and
the minister shrieked in tones of
thunder:
"In hell! In hell, for all you sleepy
sinners!”
Only strangers sleep in that church
now.
Their Bnsineu Booming.
Probably no one thing has caused such
a revival of trade at John M. (Murk's Drug
Store as their giving away to their cus
tomers of so many free trial bottles of
Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consump

this very valuable article from the fi
that It always cures and never disappoints.
Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup,

Jno. C. Calhoun predicted over flf
ty years ngo that this Piedmont Belt
was destined to become the richest
country on the globe, and would one
day support the largest and most
denso population of any section of
America. The grand statesmen spoke
parables of truth but predicated bis
opinion on the geographical position,
tho salubrious climate, the pure water
and the wonderful productiveness of
the soil of this section. Unlhoun never
dreamed of the vast mlueral deposits
that underlie the rich cholocate Bur-
face of this most wonderful country.
From every section of Piedmont Belt
we hear of new discoveries of mineral
wealth in fabulous quantities.
Mr. J. B. Carver, has just returned
from a trip in Chattooga couuty,
where he has been prospecting for
minerals. On Ills stock ranche, thir
teen miles from Rome, is a mountain
of brown hematite Iron ore l»alf a mile
wide and over a mile long. Experts
who have examined this ore,, think it
will assay over 00 pef oent. pure iron.
On the same tract of land are outcrop
pings of coal which the country black
smith has used for years. The recent
survey of the Home and Chattanooga
Railroad runs through this valuable
property. Along this route from six
miles of Romo to Chattanooga are
mountain crags full of iron mangau-
ese and valuable ores of nearly every
discriptlon. Rome is certainly des
tined to become a great centre for
iron and coal.

It la the duty of every person who has

wonderful qualities be known to their
friends in curing Consumption, severe
Coughs, Croup, Ast hma, Pneumonia, and
in fact all throat and lung diseases. No
person can u«e it without immediate relief.
Three doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty of all Druggists to
recommend It to the poor, dying consmnp
tivo. at least to try one bottle, as 80,000
dozen bottles were sold last year, and no
one case where it failed was reported, Such

The Dromies—Sherman and Hanson
Rome Courier.
! In Nashville last Thursday night
Senator Sherman delivered an address
in favor of the Republican doctrine
of protection, using the same old
arguments which have been a thou
Hand times exposed and refuted. He
asserted that tho protection doctrine
is distinctively Republican, which is
true, and said that “the Democratic
party, if it has any fixed creed or pol
Icy, is opposition to protection,’
which is also true as far us it goes.
in Atlanta the same night, Major
J. F. Hanson, of Macon, a gentleman
who controls the Macon Telegraph,
also addressed an atfilienoe on the
tariff and in favor of protection, mak
ing use there of the su me old shallow
and stale arguments that Sherman
did in Nashville.
In polities the only difference be
tween these two men is, that Senator
Sherman boldly proclaims bhnself
wliat^ lie is, a Republican, and tells
hits Nashville hearers that "all that is
needed in Tennessee is that it should
become a Republican State” by fa
voring protection, while Major Han
son will go hack to Macon and about
the country masquerading as a Dem
ocrat, though entertaining and utter
ing in Atlanta the selfjsame senti
ments and opinions that Sherman
did in Nashville.
The line mnst bo drawn, and in
Georgia. The next Democratic State
convention must draw it for Georgia
if the party would live, to separate
the goats from the sheep, that is, to
rid tiie party of assistant Republicans
who are in it only to betray it.

KEEP A SCRAP-BOOK.
Christian Advocate.
1 advise every boy or girl to keep a
scrap-book. If you are ten, or fifteen,
or twenty years old, keep a scrap
book. Let me tell you why and how:
Hundreds of tilings you Hee that you
would like to keep, but if you lay
them away will never be able to find
them when you want them. When I
was a boy I did not have sense enough
to keep scrap-books. I began some,
but did not keep on long with them.
My memory was good, but I can
now remember many things that I
can’t remember. What I mean is this:
1 remember reading a beautiful
piece of poetry, of which two or three
lines I can call up, but the whole I
can’t recollect. In some cases I do
not know the name of the writer.
1 have seen many fine pictures in
magazines and papers that would
now be valuable and interesting.
Some I cut put, they are lost. Charm
ing stories, wise remarks, proverbs,
directions for doing a great many
useful aud curious things are also
lost.
Mo much do I feel sure that l have
lost that 1 would give $50 apiece for
the scrap-books of each and every
year that I might have made, from
the time I was ten till I began to pre
serve tilings, only a few years back.
There is a gentleman who has kept
a scrap-book since lie was eight years
old. He is now forty, and has been
arranging them in volumes, witli an
index in back of each one. You would
hardly think that the earlier would be
of much use to him. But they are.
He often amuses himself as he readg
them, for he sees how little he knew
when he was little; blit also finds a
little that he still thinks valuable.
Besides, his children are much inter
ested to see what their father bad
oolleoted and pasted in books. The
older he grows the more useful the
books become. He can go to his
books, and in a few minutes get infor
mation about everything thAt has
happened in his whole life—tell you
about tiie Civil war, the Crimean war,
the Italian war, the overthrow of
Louis Napoleon, and many other
tilings, just as they were published in
the papers at the time the event hap
pened.
His scrap-book also contains many
funny things, which provoke a smile
and often a merry laugh, as he leads
them to his family in the long winter
evenings. The children would rather
hear him read from his scrap-books
than from tiie newest story.
If you have no scrap-book, get one,
and put in it whatever pleases you.
If you have one, and have not used it,
take it up again. I assure you that
you will be very glad of it after
ward.
You can buy one very cheap. Some
require paste, and one invented by
Mark Twain, and sold in the book
stores, is arranged like postage stamps.

on what you wish to save.
If you have the money, get one of
this kind. It is cleaner and less
troublesome. The others, however,

stick together; when you open them
tiie surface of the paper will] pull off
and deface the reading.
if you have no money to buy a scrap
book, or do not live where thoy are
sold, one can be made by taking any
old, useless book, and cutting out two
leaves out of three, close down to the
back, but not close enough to cause
tiie book to come to pieces. Then on
tlm remaining leaves you can paste,
will make
will
using both sides. This
three thicknesses and tile book
close as before.
It is a good idea to keep the scrap
book handy. When you eut out some
thing, lay it in till there is a conven
ient time to paste them all in. But
the best way is to paste them in at the
time.
If I can persuade you to do this for
twenty years, or even half that time,
from now, you will feel that you have
learned something valuable from this
article.
