When a woman is nervous and irri¬ table, head and back aclic, feels tired all the time, loses sleep and appetite, has pains in groins, bearing-down sensation, whites and irregulari¬ ties, she is not “ worn out.” m • hut feels as if were. Such _ that a womb jtrouble act too is promptly imminent, if and she she values cannot her future comfort and happiness.

BITS or SEWS GATHERED FROM OVER THE STATE, Being a Summary of Interesting Hap¬ pening. From Day to Day. The date for the first lecture of Hon. William Jennings Bryan, which had been set for January 5 in Atlanta, has been changed to December 23. ... At the annual meeting of the Amer eus Gnano Company a dividend of 10 per cent was declared on the capital stock of $100,000. The company has in addition to its capital stock a sur¬ plus of $100,000. Americus is proud this eompnny. It ranks as one of the most prosperous of the country, * * * Lord Beresford is now in line for executive clemency. The pressure that is being brought to bear upon the gov¬ ernor urging the pardon of Harry Hill and Lord Beresford is very strong. The penitentiary committee of the house has unanimously passed a rec¬ ommendation that they both be par¬ doned. # * * The elections committee of the house lias decided to report in favor of A. L. Foster, who is the sitting mem¬ ber in the legislature from Clayton county, in preference to W. L. Kil lingsworth, the democratic contestant. This decision was reached after a lengthy meeting of the committee in which the case was thoroughly re¬ viewed. * * * Judge Newman has passed an order permitting the receivers of the Eagle and Phcenix mills at Columbus to place 75 looms in the mills, at a cost of $30,000. It. is understood that their purchase is in no way to affect the present status of affairs, as to mort¬ gages, etc. The receivers have made some money ajul say that, with new looms, receipts can he increased. * * * The penitentiary committee, through its sub-committee#, has been at work during the pant two weeks visiting and investigating penitentiaries the convict camps and throughout the state. The result of this investigation will furnish subject matter for what will undoubtedly be one of the breeziest reports to the legislature that has gone from the penitentiary committee in years. * * * The following appointments made by the governor have been confirmed hy the senate in executive session: James B. Clements, to be judge of the county Burnett, court of Irwin county; J. T. to be judge of the county court of Clay; A. P. Smith, to he so¬ licitor of the county court of Bryan; Frank Harwell to be solicitor of the county be court of Troup; G. It. Glenn, to state school commissioner for two years from the 1st of January, 1897. * * * The Columbus Southern railroad was sold at public auction a day or two ago to J. B, Anderson, of Savannah, and J. B. Williams, of Bichtnond, repre¬ senting eastern bondholders and attor¬ neys for the Georgia and Alabama rail¬ road. The price bid was $750,000. There was only one bid, that of the Georgia and Alabama railroad and the road was knocked down to the com¬ mittee at $750,000. Columbus people rejoice that the road is to pass into tho control of the Georgia and Alabama. ... The barn and stable on the place of J. M. Bell, at Floyd Springs, about seventeen miles from Borne, were burned a few nights ago. Several tine horses and carriages were destroyed. The lire was the work of incendiaries and an effort was also made to burn the residence. The family was away during the early part of the night, returning later to find the barn ami stable in flames. It was then discov¬ ered that the house had also been looted and sot on tire. These flames were extinguished, however, and the residence saved. The loss will aggre¬ gate $3,000. * $ * Governor Atkinson lias received from Major .T. AY. Thomas, president of the Tenuesseo Centennial, a formal proposition to furnish the state of Georgia free of charge an exhibit Bpace 140x120 feet, and to transport the ma¬ terial to nnd from Nashville free of charge. Tt is likely that Governor At¬ kinson will send the general assembly a message recommending the exhibit on the terms proposed by Major Thomas. Most of the material is al¬ ready collected and w ith free transpor¬ tation, the state eau make a tine dis¬ play at an expense not exceeding $ 6 , 000 . * * * An interesting case of bread upon the waters has just come to light at Athens in the death of an aged pauper woman, Mrs. Elvira Page. Mrs. Page lived alone in a little house, supported by charity. A few- days ago she died, and her last moments were sweetened l»v tlie care and attention of little Sallie Briscoe, who attended her throughout her illness. It was a voluntary act of charity on the little girl's part and purely out of sympathy for the old w o¬ man's condition. After the death of Mrs. Page a will was found bequeath¬ ing home and $85 in gold to the girl. The money was found hidden in the mattress. Old Man I)elk Convicted. The jury in the ease >f Taylor Delk, on trial at Zebulon the past week, charged with the murder of Sheriff Gwynn, returned a verdict of guilty. The jury was out twenty hours, and it was generally believed that » mistrial would result. The verdict, however, was guilty, without recommendation. * * * Suits Against the Southern. Two big damage suits against the Southern railway have been file din the United States court at Macon, both of them being removed from the superior court of Twiggs county. The suits grow out of the famous Stone Creek wreck on Feb. 29 of this year. One of them is brought bv Mrs. Margaret AYippler for $15,000 for the death of her husband. F. AY. AA'ippler, who was killed while discharging his duties as baggagemaster on the passenger train when it plunged into the creek. The other suit is brought by B. F. Newberry, who was a passenger on the train when it went into the creek. Mr. Newberry alleges that he received per¬ manent injuries, besides 27 cuts and gashes, the loss of four teeth and vari¬ ous other tnjnries, for all of which be asks for $ 10,000 damages. Bill May Be Amended. It is likely that thehonse committee on railroads will report in amended form the Armstrong bill for the sale of the Northeastern railroad. A sub-corn mittee met and agreed on the modifi cations. The amendments change the amount of the first payment from $25, 000 to $50,000 and change the time for the deferred payments so that the road will be paid for in five years. The rate of interest on the deferred pay ments is 3$ per cent. The upset price is to be $287,000 and the $237, 000 or more remaining after the first payment is to be divided into five an nual instalments. To secure the state against loss arising from the expense of the proceeding in case, no valid bid is received, an amendment has been put on, requiring each bidder to de posit his a certified check for $ 10,000 with bid, and this amount is to be for forfeited in case his bid is the lowest and lie fails to make it good. * * ♦ Tennessee Exposition Praised. The special legislative committee appointed to visit Nashville and report on tho advisability of Georgia making an exhibit at the Centennial, exposition has submitted its report to the house of representatives. The report is fa¬ vorable to the Centennial, and it is participate strongly recommended that the state in the Nashville show. The committee reports that the exposition is in splendid condition and that it gives promise of being successful. The report as submitted to the house is as follows: ‘‘Mr. Hjieaker The joint committee from the house and senate appointed to visit the Tennessee Centennial exposition at Nash¬ ville to ascertain whether it would he advis¬ able to make an exhibit have Instructed us to make the following report: ‘The committee found the grounds well adapted for the purposes, the buildings handsome, commodious and far advanced toward completion. The grounds and build¬ ings are well suited for the exposition, and the space offered Georgia very desirable and sufficient for a magnificent display, “The Centennial hhls fair to be a success and will be of national importance. Wo fool mire not only that the state should make an exhibit, but that it would be a calamitous mistake not to do so. “We are sure that an exhibit at this Cen¬ tennial would be productive of incalculable good to our state. “Therefore, wo recommend that an ex¬ hibit ho made at the Centennial. Ituepoct fully submitted. ELEVEN BODIES RECOVERED. Ono Hundred and Ten Fer-ons Burled in Falling Houses.

VAl.K GENERAL CONEY. Ho Writes Chairman Butler Denounc¬ ing the Fopullst Party. General J. H. Coxey has issued an open letter to Senator Marion Butler denouncing “the disgraced people’s party, sold out to an issue so insignifi¬ cant as silver.” “I decline,” lie says, “to lielpi chase rainbows of election frauds in Ohio, and therefore announce my resignation as a member of the national commit¬ tee. 1 once left the democratic party, and now find, in order to lie out of it for sure, 1 must leave the once grand, but now disgraced people's party. This is done in deep sorrow, and w ith the hope to join a party soon to w hich the hope of the republic, must look to succor from financial and industrial ills.” ATLANTA MARKETS. COHllECTEU WEEKLY.

GESEKAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE AND SENATE DOING A RUSHING BUSINESS. Brief Summary of Proceedings of thi Two Legislative Branches. The house made such fine progress in dealing with the general appropria • tion bill at its two sessions Tuesday j that when it met Wednesday morning ' nothing remained but section 4, refer ing to appropriations for the lunatic asylum aud other public institutions of the state, and that portion of section 6 which deals with the military. The rest of the bill had been adopted with slight amendments, At Wednesday night’s session of the house the senate’s Cuban resolution was concurred in; the Saturday half¬ holiday bill passed, after being so amended as to apply only to counties of 50,000 or more, and the bill to pre vent the supreme court from dismiss ing eases on the failure of judges of superior courts to certify bills of ex ceptions when the plaintiff in error has exercised all due diliigence; also a bill making it a felony to poison wells., springs, etc., and fixing the penalty at two to twenty years in the peniten¬ ' tiary; also a bill fixing the liability of railroads operated by receivers when sued for damages. House—384 Day. After disposing of some little rou¬ tine business tho house at Thursday’s session again took up the general ap¬ propriation bill. The paragraph ap¬ propriating $22,900 to the maintenance and support of the Georgia Normal and Industrial college was promptly . agreed to, and so was that giving ‘ $6,000 for the to the same purpose North Georgia Agricultural school at Dahlonega. When the Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural college ap¬ propriation was to be considered op¬ position developed and another debate was on. The Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural college failed to get the $3,000 asked for it. The Georgia Normal and Industrial college got $22,9110; The Dahlonega Branch col lege, $6,000; the Htate Normal School at Bock College, Athens, $22,500; the Colored University at Savannah, $ 8 , 000 , and $6,314.14 cents was voted to pay the land scrip interest due the university. House- Mi It Day. The friends of the minority got iu their work in the house Friday morn¬ ing and turned defeat into victory. The state university will get not her bare interest, but the $14,500 special appropriation denied her a few days back. The military was given $30,000. They asked for $18,800, but the ap¬ propriation granted is twice as great as that last voted for their use. There was a lively tilt in the house over the admission of a messenger from the senate, which was sent in at a moment when the house was busy in the con¬ sideration of important patters. A joint resolution to ask the president to pardon the revenue prisovsrs now co:’ fined in Georgia jails w*sj|.dopted, Mr. Knowles, of Fiilton, and his friends got the whole of the extra appropriation for the ! Technological school Wednesday morning, after a hard struggle. Through their efforts the session was extended until a vote could be taken. The sale of the Northwestern rail¬ road was reconsidered and the appro¬ priations for the support of the lunatic asyhun during the next two years Were cut down each by $ 10 , 000 . The senate Wednesday agreed to the favorable report of the bill open¬ ing the office of state librarian to the women of the state. Much speculation is caused as to whether the governor will appoint Miss Ellen Dortch, the virtual author of it. There are thorn who intimate that this may possibly not happen. The senate also passed the joint res¬ olution providing for the payment of $130 to defray the expenses of of the joint inauguration committee. The populist voted against the measure, which caused such a wrangle in the house. There was also a lengthy and humor¬ ous discussion on a bill of Senator Dnnwoody’s to establish n state dental board. The Dill was finally tabled. Semite- 33 d IJay. Mis# Ellen Dortch sat in the gallery of the senate Thursday morning aud witnessed the passage of the bill pro¬ viding that the office of state librarian be opened to the women of Georgia. Out of all tbe senate there were only four who voted against it. To make the bill a law it is only necessary now for the governor to sign it, and it is almost certain that he will sign the bill, and, furthermore, that lie will appoint Miss Ellen Dortch upon the expiration of the term of Captain John Milledge, in September, 1897. AA'hat ever be the general terms of the bill, aud notwithstanding it admits the ap plication of all women to the phv-c. Miss Dortch has lieeu chiefly instru¬ mental in having the bill passed, aud is, of course, a candidate for the place. The wreck case of the Portuguese bark Alliance off Bebecea shoals, near Key West, has at last gotten into court, and the amount of salvage the wreckers are entitled to w ill have to be settled by Judge Locke, who tele¬ graphed the deputy clerk at Key West to make the libel returnable on De¬ cember 21. The marshal wired his Key AVest deputy to attach the vessel and take possession of her until fur¬ ther orders. The bark was found adrift by the tugs George AY. Childs and George W. Clyde, and was towed into Key West. S*mate— 111;!: Day. Senator Yancey Carter made his re¬ port to the senate Friday afternoon in answer to the demand of Senator Bat¬ tle’s resolution, demanding that ‘in specify charges and give names under his remarks, declaring that there were judges in Georgia guilty as some of the culprits they sentenced. Senator Car¬ ter did not give names, nor did he specify charges. He called for a com¬ mittee with power to investigate and summons witnesses. He quoted from Governor Nortlien’s message, which, referring to reform in this particular, said he, -the governor), in substance, had reason to know that the inno¬ cent were, liable to pay fines am that convictions under the system might he obtained for price. But, said Senator Carter, w ithout a commit¬ tee, he would have to call for voluntary witnesses, and evidence of this kind was hard to obtain. Senator Carter read his report from a typewritten manuscript, clearly and forcefully. AYhen lie had finished, he requested that it go on the record of the journal. Senator 'Robert L. Berner left the president’s chair long enough to pre¬ pare and introduce a bill providing that the thirty-two trustees of the state university be elected by the people. The bill to renew the charter of tbe Atlanta and AA’est Point railroad for forty or fifty years was put upon its p assage, but met w ith objection which resulted in its being tabled. Several bills of minor importance were passed. House—doth Day. In the house of representatives Sat¬ urday morning Mr. Baggett, of Lau¬ rens ish county, called up his bill to abol¬ the city court of Laurens county, on which there was a lively discussion between Mr. Baggett and Mr. Dodson, of Sumter, several days ago. Mr. ihi-Kgutt: declared that the court is un¬ necessary, and that it is an imposition on the people to perpetuate it. Mr. Dodson said tlie democrats of Laurens county had commended the aetion of the grand jury iu approving the city court, and had recommended the per¬ petuation of the court. Air. Baggett said he would stand by his bill before his people and that they propose to get rid of the court. The people of Lau¬ rens would send a negro to the legisla¬ ture on the issue if necessary, if the democrats made it a party question. The defeat of the motion to disagree to the report of the committee by a vote of 20 to 73 killed the bill. Consideration of the general tax bill was then resumed. Paragraphs 12 and 19 were in order, all others having been disposed of on Friday. Para graph lightning 12 imposes a tax of $50 on rod agents in every county in which they operate. Paragraph 19 imposes a tax of $50 on packing houses. Both paragraphs were adopt¬ ed. The bill was then read as a whole arid passed. It was ordered transmit¬ ted to the senate. The bill to establish a dispensary in Fort Gaines, Clay county, and to abol¬ ish barrooms in that city, was called up on a motion to disagree to an ad¬ verse report of the committee which considered the bill. The debate was lively in the extreme. The question on the motion to disagree to the report of the committee was carried by 69 to 81. The bill was then read the second time and placed on the calendar. The house adjourned at this point until 3 o’clock p. m. The afternoon session was devoted mainly to the consideration of local bills aud the introduction of new mat¬ ters. Senate—359i Day, The senate, by formal resolution a few days ago, requested Senator Car¬ ter to name tip: men to whom he re¬ ferred and to furnish evidence to sub¬ stantiate his charges. This he de¬ clined to do; but declared that if a committee of investigation were ap¬ pointed, he would take the lead in prosecuting such investigation. It* was in reply to this declaration and re¬ fusal tl»*k the senate adopted a series of resolutions at Saturday's session. These resolutions recite tho facts as they have developed at the different stages of the controversy, and conclude with a declaration that Senator Cartel should have furnished the names and evidence to the senate “nnd should now do so,” so that they “may be transmitted to the house of represen¬ tatives whose special province it is to investigate charges of this character.” Tho general assembly has gone on record in behalf of the violators of the internal revenue laws. The house resolution, requesting the president to extend clemency to all violators of the internal revenue laws, was adopted by the senate. The resolution was adopted on the motion of Senator J. Y. Walker, who represents the fortieth district-— which includes the counties of Union, Towns and Rabun—three counties which furnish a fair proportion of the men who follow the delusive “moon¬ shine.'' The senate passed the bill creating a pension commission. Other bills pass¬ ed were ns follows: To establish the city court of Baxter; To provide for a clerk for the supreme court reporter; To repeal an act establishing the city court of Jackson county; To create the city court of Jefferson; To provide for uniform amendment of bank <Aiarters; To amend an act fixing the compensa¬ tion of the treasurer or Meriwether: To authorize the appointment of the commissioner of pensions; To authorize solvent guaranty and fidelity companies to go the bonds of state, county and city officials; To decide what is a scholastic month; To change the present corporation limits of Americus: To amend an act to regulate and control certain convicts; To fix the bond of tlie treasurer of Richmond county; To incorporate the town of Baldwin in Banks and Habersham counties; to incorporate the town of Mitchell in Glascock county; to change the time of holding the fall term of the superior court iu Henry county; to pay election managers aud clerks iu AA'ilkes county; to amend the charter of the Commer¬ cial bank, of Albany. IRON FURNACE SOLD. Bristol Property, Idle for Five Years, Will Start I'p Soon. The Bristol iron furnace, at Bristol, Tenn., which has been idle for five years on account of being involved in litigation, has been sold at public auc¬ tion for $55,000. The property was liought by trustees for the benefit of the Home Iron company. The furnace has a capacity of 150 tons daily, and together with the ore, coke, etc., on the grounds, is said to be worth $400,000. If the sale is con¬ firmed the furnace will be put in blast. FOR WOMEN’S EDUCATION. Tobacco Man Gives Trinity College the Princely Suin of $100,000. The first movement toward eo-ednea tion of the sexes in North Carolina isa gift from AVasliington Duke,of Durham, of $100,000 to the endowment of Trinity college. The only condition to the gift is that young women shall be ad¬ mitted to the institution on the same terms as young men. The Duke fami¬ ly has given Trinity $250,000. The Migration of Svrallowi. A Dutch correspondent writes: ‘ ‘Arn heim, the capital of the province of Gueldelrand, as is known, is situated upon the Rhine, which is crossed by a bridge. Passing over it one day last week, one of my friends witnessed a remarkable scence. Myriads of swal¬ lows, apparently those living in the environs, were crowded together, as they do every year in exactly the same place. When they flew up, which they did several times before starting for good, the mass looked like a huge black moving column. AYhen they came down again it was done with a deafening shrill aud shrieking, or whistling or piping—a curious noise, which is almost impossible to describe. It seems as if they wanted to make sure that all could stand the voyage, for many were fallen upon by great numbers of the others, who pecked them to death. . “After different false starts they went away like a whirlwind, leaving upon the fields those that probably were too weak and so were murdered first by their companions. People may wonder how these birds in different countries start upon almost the same day. The mystery must be solved by ornithologists. For my part, I think that as soon as the days shorten they depart, as they need much longer even¬ ing light to catch the thousands of gnats they want every day.”—West¬ minster Gazette. Value of a Definite Purpose. “Whatever one’s calling,” said Mr. Glirnby, “there is nothiug like a defi¬ nite purpose to insure success. It has always seemed to me that a beggar who just asked in a general way for something simply fired in the air and not at the target. Anybody ean give an indefinite answer to an indefinite request, and most people do. But I met a man the other night who asked for 2 cents, at the same time holding out 2 cents which he already had and which he wished to increase to 4. This was definite, business-like and irresist¬ ible. I gave the 2 cents without the slightest hesitation. “Still, this wouldn’t work always. If, for instance, the man had asked for a dollar, at the same time holding out another dollar, I should certainly not have given it, notwithstanding that this request would have possessed equally with the other, the essential quality of definiteness. But then there are exceptions to all rules.”—New Y'ork Hun. 8 at on Kegs. Offenders of high rank at tho Rus¬ sian court were punished in a singular way by Peter tbe Great. It was the duty of everybody else at court to con¬ sider and treat t-lie delinquent as a fool. AYhen Anne, the daughter of Peter’s elder brother, Ivan, came to the throne, she originated an even queerer form of punishment. She de¬ creed that a certain prince should be come a hen, aud for this purpose she had made a large basket, stuffed w ith straw, and hollowed into a nest, with a quantity of eggs in it. This was placed in a conspicuous place in the queen’s palace, and there, under pain of death, the unfortunate prince was obliged to sit day after day, imitating the cackling of the fowl he was sup¬ posed to represent. Utilizing “l*eft.Overs.” A little thought and attention paid to the “left overs” will transform many of them into dainty and palata¬ ble dishes.

There is comfort the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis¬ ease, but simply to a constipated condi¬ tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt¬ ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to tho fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating therefore the organs on which ic acts. Jtis all important, in order to get its bene¬ ficial effects, to note when you pur¬ chase. that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co only, * and sold by all rep¬ utable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxa¬ tives or other remedies are r.ot needed. If afflicted with any actnal disease, one may be commended tothemost skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, th-n one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.
