BAKING POWDER
PURE?
Doits Manufacturers Publish all
the Ingredients Used?
IS IT FREE FROM AMMONIA?
As is well known, ammonia is unhealth
ful in food, and dries up the bread
material.
Protection to consumers of food com
pounds lies In their ability to choose
those made from healthful substances.
Unless manufacturers publish just what
their baking powder Is made of, do not
use their goods, but buy instead
CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR
BAKING POWDER:
This powder is made only of strictly pure

The New City Law.
Under the new law for the election
of City Marshal and Deputy it is
obanged, from by the people, to by
the Mayor and Aldermen. The pres
ent law, it is contended by its oppo
nents, puts the Marshal and Deputy
beyond the power of the Mayor and
Board to displace them for ipiscon-
duct or failure to discharge their du
ties as officers, during the time for
which they are elected.
Under the new law these officers,
deriving their position and authority
entirely from the Mayor and Aider-
men are amenable to them for good
conduct and a fiiitllful discharge of
official duties. It seems to us that
this is without objection, and cannot
fail to give satisfaction even to the
men who seek these positions. It re
lieves them of the harraBsing and ex
pensive electionering with the igno
rant and unprincipled, and places
their cause in the hands of seven
good men whose votes cannot be pur
chnsod, or obtained by other dishon
orable methods.

Now For Busineii-
The Summer, just about to turn
over its rule to its successor, the sea
son of Harvest and Busy Life, has
been a dolightful one so far as the
absence of extreme heat could make
It so. The holiday has been rernark-
ablo amongst us, too, for its excep
tional hoalthfulness, and all should
now enter upon the Busy Life, as Its
map is opened before them, with a
cheerful and a willing heart - to labor
for tho love they bear themselves and
thoso near and dear to them.
To-morrow tho College bell will
ring out on the autumnal air its call
to Books. Tho children in their neat
and clean attire will gather about the
familiar benches and desks, a con
fused hum of many sounds and voices
will fill tho classic halls and the
reign of Silence will be onded.
The farmers eyes are on his cotton
fields and he Is hastening tho fleecy
staple to the noarest market to 'catch
he high prices, and feel once more
tho inspiring touch of uncle Sam’s
crisp notes. The merchant, just re
turned from the great commercial
and trade centers, will hang his ban
kers on the outer walls and fill his
favorite local paper with huge adver
tisements announcing to the multi
tude tho magnitude of his stock and
the variety, stylo and beauty of his
goods. The clerks, turned out by
the summer dullness, will return to
tho old placos. The Hotels and
Boarding houses will take in the El
ixir of rejuvenation, and as. Bill Arp
says, “all will be serene” again.

S. A. C.
PRESIDENT uF THE COLLEGE.
A rumor that Maj. J. C. Lynes, re
cently elected President of Middle
Georgia Military and Agricultural
College in' this city, was an Atheist,
caused alarm in the minds of some of
our good people. We are permitted
to make the following extract from
a letter written by Dr. Lynes, in re
ply to a letter written by a gentleman
in this city informing him of the ru
mor. This authoritative denial should
put this unfortunate rumor to rest,
aud quiet all apprehensions.
Mnj. Lynes writes under date of
August 38:
... I am not an Athiest, never in my
lire gave any onea reason to think me
one unless my views, which accord
with Rev. Dr. Boggs, on Evolution,
have led the maliciously inclin-
ed to the^ mistake. I am just such
an Evolutionist, as is Dr. Boggs, the
present Chancellor of tho University.
There is nothing to argue in this, a
simple avowal only is involved. Two
Sundays ago in an article entitled
Branch Colleges,” published in the
'Atlanta Constitution,” ljsaid “Let
me not bo misunderstood: 1 nm a
Christian and contribute to the sup
port of all churches.” Tho avow
al is iu print and before tho public of
Georgia and tlio world.”
Maj. Lynes is in the prime of life
and possesses high attainments and
great energy. Ho was recommend
ed by many of the very best men
of this and other States. It is impos
sible that such uien should recom
mend an unworthy man. In regard to
his religions belief Governor Gordon
says: “He is a firm believer in Chris
tian religion—his rather and grand
father were Baptist preachers.”—
State School Commissioner Hook
says, “he is a most worthy man.”
Among a large number of recom
mendations’ equally strong, we select
the following letters from distinguish
ed ministers, representing the throe
leading denominations of Christians
n this State:
Marietta, Ga., July 12, 1884.
Gentlemen of the Board : Roaring of the
vacancy and Gloctlon soon to take place,
I take pleasure in recommending very
strongly Prof. J. C. Lynes. I nave known
him for many years. My son was once a
pupil of his and afterwards my daughter
also, and when he was called to Shorter
college, she with quite a number ol other
young ladles, accompanied him aud grad
uated at that college.
I regard him as one of the most thor
ough and accomplished teachers I have
ever met. He has a love for his profession
and also the faculty of Imparting to bis
pupils something of hts own enthusiasm
for learning.
He is a gentleman of high tone morals,
popular In his manners and pleasant In hts
address. In tho scientific department, aud
In Modern Languagee ho stands unrival
led.
1 believe him capable of filling any sf
the usual departments In any academy or
college. Any city would be highly favored
In socurlng the services of Prof. Lynes ae
an educator or Superintendent of educa
tion. Sincerely yours,
(Signed) D. L. BurrornH, D. D„
Pastor Presbyterian Churoh,
Marietta, Ga.
Dalton, Ga., July 10th, 1884.
To any Board of TrusteesI take great
pleasure In saying that I know Prof. J. C.
Lynes, personally, and can most cordially
recommend him as an educated, moral gen
tleman. He is a ripe scholar, and, as a
teacher, has few equals and no superiors
In his particular dent’s. Ho was President
of tho Marlotia College and thore taught
with unprecedented acceptability and suc-
eese. He was called thence to Shorter Col
lege and carried thither a largo number of
his former pupils. 1 consider any school
fortunate in securing his services as toach-
er or superintendent.
Respectfully,
(Signed) S. P. Richardson,
Pastor Methodist Church,
Dalton, Ga.
Shelrt, N. C., Sept. 23d, 1885.
Bishop McTyhire :
Dear Sir and Brother:—It gives me
S loasuro to speak a kind word for Prof.
. C. Lynes, of "King's Mt., Military
School,” When 1 was President of Shorter
College. Rome, Ga., ho filled tho Chair of
Modern Languages to the entiro satisfac
tion of myself and the Board of Trustees.
Ho Is a geutloman of rare culture, an inde
fatigable Instiuctor, and courteous in his
deportment towards his associates and
pupils. Should you give him a position in
the Vanderbilt University, ho will fill it to
your satisfaction, and I think, be a valuablo
addition to your able Faculty.
Yours Fraternally,
R. I). Mallary,
Ex-President Shorter College, Rome, Ga.
Baptist Clergyman.
We might publish similar letters
from such distinguished ministers as
Dr. Charles D. Michel of St. Louis,
Rev. Dr. J. F. Lee, Rev. Dr. G. A.
Nunnally, Rev. John Kershaw of
Rome and others, but we do not deem
it necessary.
Ours ia decidedly a religious com
munity, and we arc glad that it is.
All denominations of Christians are
represented among tho teachers in
the college. It is natural that our
people should feel a deep interest in
its welfare, and that its high Christian
excellence should be maiutained.
The trustees, realizing to the fullest
extent their duty and responsibility,
believe they have'made no mistake in
the selection of a President, uYul look
with confidence for the endorsement
and approval of the friends of the
college.
Catarrh Can t Bo Cured
with LOCAL APPLICATION, as they can
not reach tho seat of the disease. Catarrh
is a blood or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you have to take inter
nal remedies Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken
internally and acts directly on the blood
aud mucus surface. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is no quack medicine. It was proscribed
by one of tho best physicians in tills coun
try for years, and Is a regular proscrip
tion It is composed of tbo best tonics
known combined with tho, best blood pu
rifiers, acting directly on tho mucus sur
face The perfect combination of tho two
ngredionts is what produces such wonder
ful results in curing Catarrh. Send for
