FRIDAY MORNING, FEU. 17, ISSS.
I lodge county went dry last week
by about 100 majority. .
The estate of the late Captain
Dwinell, which was appraised in
Rome last week, is worth nearly
$50,000.
The political pot is beginning to
boil, and over its troubled waters
the heads of candidates are bob
bing up.
We notice Col. J. W. Ewing is
suggested for one of the represen
tatives from Floye county. Floyd
could not find a cleverer or abler
•gentleman to represent her.
A negro woman died m Colum
bia, S. ('., last week who claimed to
bo 120 years old, ami to have been
brought from Africa to this coun
try shortly after the revolutionary
war.
Seven Indian Territory murder
ers were sentenced by Judge Park
er in the United States Court Feb
ruary 9th to be hanged Friday.
April 27th-—Five nre" one

Speaker Carlisle cannot come
now, but the tariff reform move
ment will continue to march through
Georgia.—Macon Telegraph.
Brother, let her roll.—Sandersville

Gallager, let her go.
Dr. Makenzie has made $65,000 I
by the illness of the Crown Prince
of Germany, yet he is unable to tell
what is the matter with hispatient.
Yet it is said that Dr. Makenzie
examines the Prince’s throat in a
very scientific manner.
James G. Blaine has written a
letter from Florence, Italy, to B. F.
Jones, chairman of the republican
national committee, declining to
have his name go before the repub
lican convention this summer as
a candidate for president.

The wife of James Cochran, of
San Antonia, Tex., gave birth to
twins recently who arc exact dupli
cates of the famous Siamese twins,
being pined to the same vital spot
by a strong ligament, which allows
each child free use of its limbs.
Os the 1,100 steam vessels engag
ed in commerce between New York
and Europe in 1887, only one car
ried the American flag. This is a
remarkable fact, and shows that
Denmark is not the only country
in which there is something wrong. '
The young people of LaGrange
have parties and dances in the i
churches ofjdiat town. This is a ,
sad state of affairs. If the young
people do this slyly, they ought to j
be hicoried; if the older people .
know and tolerate it, it is outra- ,
geous. (
It is nearly certain that Floyd 1
county will have three candidates ‘
for congress—Hon. J. C. Clements, •
Judge Joel Branham and ('apt. J. ■
11. Reece. The people of Floyd in ’
tend to hold a primary at an early 1
day so that the choice of the conn- 1
ty can be known and unanimously *
supported. 1

From the Canton Cherokee Ad- r
vance: I will advise all editor’s t
wives not to help their husbands set }
type; that is, if they love to be
called sweet names. Eight years
a g° n, y husband called me in ac- '
cents low his angel; since I begun 1
to set tjpe he calls me simply a r
devil.—The “devil” herself c

It is said that lion. T. Milner, of \
Cartersville, and Col. T. R. Jones, i
of Dalton, will be candidates for t
judge of the Cherokee circuit be- f
fore the next legislature. The pres r
ent incumbent, Judge Fain, is not I
a fit person for the position, an( ] p
would be a good thing for the peo
ple of the Cherokee circuit if either
>f the gentlemen named were to <
succeed him. t
In England the practice of insti- '
suting suits for libel has entered
the inner sanctuary of the family
circle. A daughter has succeeded
in making her father pay her $1250
for speaking disrespectfully of her. 1
When the number of actionable
conversations that take place be
tween inharmonious husbands and
wives are considered there is ground
to apprehend serious consequences :
from an extension of this innova
tion.
The people of Canton, Ga., have
been congratulating Mr. Brown be
cause he succeeded in clearing Mr.
McCoy; yea, they have rejoiced ex
ceedingly because McCoy is free,
and they esteem Mr. Brown more
than ever because he was McCoy’s j
attorney. In the meantime a mur- i
dered man is unavenged, ami Walk-1
er county is short two or three thou-1
sand dollars; both chargeable to
Mr. McCoy, over whose freedom
the people of Canton rejoice, and
whose attorney they praise there
for.
This year it is Bartow county’s
,ime 'to name the senator from the
42nd district. Those prominently
mentioned forth- place are Dr. Fel
ton, Thus. 11. Baker, J. M att liar- i
ris, Jno. W. Aiken, ('. M. Joins
and T. J. Lyon. ('. M. Jones has
served a term in the lower house, i
I’. 11. Baker was formerly senator
from this district, Mr. Harris is the
present solicitor of the Cherokee
circuit, Mr. Akin is a prominent
attorney, and every body knows Dr.
Felton. Maj? Smith (Bill Arp) is al
so spoken of, but while it is thought
he would accept the office, he will
not enter into a scramble for it. j
The contest for the Republican
nomination for governor of Maine:
is becoming spirited. From Passa- |
and' ilppus to’
MiiTcwahoc and Madawaskt? “'echo :
the sounds of contest between Gov.
Marble, who is an anti-Bl line man, :
and Blaine’s friends. Piscataquis
county is stirred to its center. Sae
cUTappa Junction is filled wir.hex-l
Aroostook is m n -
South Norrisgopwack and lb
Corner feel the effect of the great!
struggle. From the waters of the
Muskeetongatosbcat to the towel
ing pines of Mount Katabacheeko-.
chingo reverberate the sounds ofj
gladiatorial contest. No wonder]
there was an earthquake in Maine]
last when,all these places are
so agitated and excited.
No Ulterior Motive.
Judge Fain could have no more
interest in clearing McCoy than any
other man who should come before
him fortrial. Knowing Judge Fain
as we do, we do not hesitate to say
that the criticism of the News which
it repeats in its last issue, is unjust
and uncalled for, and we can but ]
believe that there is some incentive
outside of the case which has call- ]
ed forth these criticisms.—Calhoun j
Times.
There was no incentive for
criticism of Judge Fain’s charge
cept what it generated itself. Judge
Fain is unfit for the position which he
occupies. John L. Sullivan is a good
lighter, but there are not many peo
ple who think him qualified to pre- ]
side over a court. Just so with]
Judge Fain. He is a clever gentle-1
man and good citizen, but he is I
lamentably deficient in those qual- i
ities which go to make a good Judge. I
He lacks stamina, - decision and
that ability to weigh points of law j
and testimony—so essential to one ]
who occupies the position that he i
does. He succeeded so well in :
making apparent the want of these |
qualifications, as well as others not i
enumerated, in the conduct of the
McCoy case that it called for a I
word of protest and warning. Our I
readers now know that McCoy, a :
man whom the people and part ofj
the jury who tried him believed to
be guilty of deliberate, premedita
ted murder, was cleared in a court
over which Judge Fain presided.
We do not know how it wjts done,
but then—it was.

A Correct View.
Tlw resolution adopted by the ’
guarantors of the right-of-way for 1
the Chattanooga, Rome & Colum
bus railroad from Summerville,
Chattooga county to Rime, in
which they declare that if Rome
does not aid them in securing the
right, for which some land -owners
in Floyd county are chatging exor
bitant prices, they will carry the
trade of Chattooga county to Chat
tanooga, is a just disposition to
make of the matter. Chattanooga
gave the road SIOO,OOO and secured
the right-of-way, and that a most
valuable one, into the city, and it is
but just and right that Rome see
that no obstacles be put in the way
of the road in its own county. The
action of the land owners in Floyd
county is greedy and unpatriotic,
and stands in the way of the pro
gress of t hat section.—Chattanooga
Times.
The above expresses the thing in
I a nutshell. Chattanooga has given
all the aid she could to the C. IL <t.
('.railroad; Rome has done abso
lutely nothing, and is now boast-1
ing of the fact. Rome’s influence
has been against the road, and as- ’
ter it became an assured fact that
it would be built anyhow, she ex
■ erted her energies to prevent it
from being built through Summer
ville. Is this true? Yes. Some of
Rome's business men guaranteed to
] Hr. Williamson the right of way j
through Dirttown Valley, in this
I county, and on through Floyd to,
i Rome to induce him to build the
road that way. They worked up a
subscription to the stock of the
road along that route also, but the
amount we do not know. Rome
was willing to pay for right of way,
not only through Floyd but through
this county also, if Mr. Williamson
would build the road through Dirt
! town. But Mr. Williamson pre
] ferred the Summerville route, and
I now Rome refuses to pay for the
j right of way through its own
j county.
Chattooga was not gulled into
guaranteeing the right of way to
Mr. Williamson, as stated by the
Tribune of Rome. She did it as a '
' matter of necessity after viewing]
the situation from every standpoint. ]
' it is not a hard bargain, for the I
oad will be worth far more than it]
will cost. She realized that the I
ime had come when she must]
■■-.k out her own salvation,” and
tin she did “in fear and trembling'’ i
but resolutely. Now if Rome has!
enough public enterprise to pay her
| just proportion of the expense in-1
cident to securing the road, all]
right; if she refuses, it will show
she is no friend to the development
of the resources of ( hattooga coun
ty, and that our people will have to
look elsewhere for help. And of
course she will look to Chattanooga,
Rome’s commercial rival, whose
citizens have ever been ready to
liberally aid any public enterprise
that would be of mutual advantage. |
And for Chattooga county to make
I her requests upon Chattanooga fori
laid in future development availing,
I she will have to offer all the induce-1
Intents in her power, and among!
Wthers, her trade. This is a matter
[ of fact and admits of no other con- j
elusion.
The Constitution says : Over aj
year ago Mr. Owens, living beyond
] West End on the East point road,
j swallowed a threaned needle.
Mr. Owens is the father of Mr.
I Pat Owens, the genial and well
| known baliff in Judge Tanner's
] court, and the baliff is responsible
j so the truth of this.
I The family of Mr. Owens were
] much alarmed at the accident, but
this uneasiness subsided as Mr.
I Owens continued in his usual good
] health, and for over a year felt no
I serious inconvenience. But about
a week ago the point of the needle
made its way through Mr. Owens’
j side, and Dr. Kennedy extracted
i the needle. A queer feature is that
the thread was still in the needle.
The doctor says that the case is
one of the most remarkable that ]
was ever brought under his notice.;

Traveling Correspondent.
I arrived at Bartow, Fla., the 7th
inst., and find it is summer here, it
being very warm and dry. Quite a
contrast I assure you between
North Georgia and Florida ;• for
when I left the former ice was plen
tiful; while here flowers are in
bloom.
I met many friends in Bartow,
among others Mr. Hamp Johnson,
the clerk of the court. In company
with him I visited the masonic
lodge here and made many acquain
tances of brothers. Sunday I at
tended a grand union meeting in
progress here, which is being con
ducted by Rev. Mr. Porter and oth
ers. Bartow is a dry town.
Recently I was presented with a
few boxes of oranges to send home
by a kind lady, who also invited me
to attend her wedding, which occurs
Tuesday at 3p. m.: if permitted I
hope to take an active part. [Right
here we prophecy our correspondent
is a married man, and the lady he
refers to is his wife. See if we are
not right.—Em] Weddings all the
go here as well as in Chattooga.
The winter has been very mild
here; scarcely enough frost to kill
tobacco plants. We are now hav-1
ing a fine rain which will greatly |
benefit gardeners.
I was pleased to receive the News;
continue to send it. More anon.

Rev. T. 11. Timmons preached a I
most acceptable sermon in Ami
church last Sabbath, Text—xxvi
chapter, 41 verse of Mathew. The j
preacher drew many illustrations |
from every day life which mad, his I
discourse a very interesting one.
The farm work of this neighbor- ]
hood is making slow progress, ow
ing to the continued rains. Very
few farmers have begun turning
land or sowing oats; but little land ]
will be seeded to grass this spring; i
the prospect is that the acreage of]
cotton will be large, perhaps more:
than for several years past. Some
of the Menlo people are going into
the fruit business on an extensive
scale, which is certainly a move in
the right direction, as much of our
soil is most suitable and in many
localities thecrop is almost assured,
so much so that peaches have failed
only a few times in the fifty years
that the county has been settled.
We need a railroad directly
through Broomtown Valley, and the j
knowing ones predict that the time
is near at hand when the locomo-:
tive will be seen speeding its way '
up and down in the shadow of
Lookout Mountain.
There is quite an excitement in
this community on account of the
discovery of large deposits of gyp
sum in Shinbone Ridge. It crops
out in various places.
The school interest is at high
tide in this community. Miss With
erspoon has a full school—about
forty scholars. Miss Etta Hender
son, of Gaylesville, hrs charge of
the music class. She is giving the |
] best satisfaction to all her patrons. I
Quite a number of our farmers
went to Rome last week. They re
port the roads in a wretched condi
tion. It soems that the new road
law has not improved our Chattooga
roads very much.
Berry and Demsey Holbrooks ]
started to Texas last week. They ]
w’ere good citizens and good work
ers, and all such will be a loss to I
our community; though some rc-!
turn to Georgia.

An exchange says a man was ar-
I rested in Omaha for hogging who
wore five pairs of trousers, three
vests, three coats, three shirts, and
three hats, two of them being in his
pockets. Besides the hats, his many
pockets contained apairof minstrel,
“bones,” several harmonicas, a lot
of Salvation Army, Grand Army of
the Republic and other badges,
English and Irish flags, fishho ks,
photographs, darning needles, can
openers, scissors, books, and sever
ial carefully tied packages, which
, were not examined.
ONE CHURCH.
Since reading several articles on
Christian unity, my attention has
been fixed on the Bible, which is
generally accepted as the only rule
of belief and conduct. The two
Epistles of Peter have especially
claimed some consideration. Why
I am not able to say.
First. In first Peter, i:22-23, I
read: “Seeing ye have purified
your souls in obeying the truth
through the spirit unto unfeigned
love of the brethren, see that ye
love one another with a pure heart
fervently: Being born again, not of'
corruptible seed, but of incorrupt,!- i
I ble, by the word of God, which liv
eth and abideth forever.” In chap
ter iii:B-9, the language is: “Fi
nally, be ye all of one mind, having
compassion one of another; love as
brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: '
not rendering evil for evil, or rail
ing for railing: but contrariwise
blessing; knowing thatye are there
unto called, that ye should inherit
a blessing.” Also, in chapter iv : ■
8-9, Peter says: “And above aII
things have fervent charity among)
yourselves: for charity Shall cov r
the multitude of sins. Use hospi- )
tality one to another without grudg- ]
ing.” Again, in chapter v:8-9; and
|in 2nd Peter 1: 10, the words seem
Ito be addressed to one family, I
! which seems to have been pretty,
I widely dispersed for they are ex- )
I horted as follows: “Bo sober, be
vigilant; because your adversary
the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh )
about, seeking whom he may de-[
jvour: whom resist steadfast in the'
I faith, knowing that the same afflie- 1
) tions are accomplished in vour
brethren that are in the world.”
| Second. This one family is oil -
erwise described thus: “Ye also, as
lively stones, are built up a spiritu
al house, a holy priesthood, to offer
up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to
to God by Jesus Christ. (1 Peter ii:
5). “But ye are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a ■
peculiar people.” (1 Peter ii:9).
“For ye were as sheep going astray ; ;
but are now returned unto the
) Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.”
■(1 Peter ii :25).
j “The house of God,” 1 Peter iv: j
17, and “the righteous,” 1 Peter iv :
18, probably refer to the same fam-
, ily, house, fold, priesthood, or na- )
I tion.
Third. This one family, house,
nation, or fold, seems to .have had
I some officers: for we read in 1 Pe- ,
terv:l-l: “The elders which are
among you I exhort, who am also
an elder, and a witness of the suf- :
j ferings of Christ and also a par
I taker of the glory that shall be re- I
I vealed : Feed the flock of God which ;
i is among you, taking the oversight
i thereof, not by constraint, but will
; ingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a
) ready mind : Neither as being lords
over God's heritage, but being en
saraples to the flock. And when the
chief Shepherd shall appear,” etc.
To some minds, persons under)
rules, proclaimed, administered or
enforced by officers; or subjects,
! officers, and laws, suggests t he idea )
of an organization—a government, j
[ Fourth. And this family, which
) seems to have a government,—a
I family without government is)
: monstrous —is indeed “a pecu
) liar” family. It is composed of
| Baptized Believers. See 1 Peter iii:
| 21, and 2nd Peter i:l.
Fifth. But this “house of God,”
this “holy nation,” this one fold,
this one family seems not to be
confined to one locality. Read 1
Peter i :1, and 2nd Peter i :1.
Now, what I would like to have
somebody to tell me is this: Does
I this “family,” or “fold,” or “house,” )
or “nation,” describe the church of
God, or does it have reference to
something else, and if to something
else, what something? Does the)
13th verse of the sth chapter of)
Ist Peter throw any light on this
subject or not? Who will answer.

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
“Professional Ethics” Worse than
Eastern Caste—A Letter From a.
Physician Who Prefers Humanity
to “ Professional Ethics.”
Ellaville. Schley County, Ga., ?
March 21st, 1887. J
Swift Specific Co, Atlanta, Ga.—My Dear Sirs:
For some time, I have been contemplating a letter
to you. Do you know that your S. S. S. medicino
has revolutionized the old school practice of medi
cine. of which I am bold to say I am a faithful dis
ciple. For centuries, it has been held that the only
sure treatment of that most dreadful scourge of ail
the ills of human flesh, contagious blood poison,
was mercury. The danger of this treatment Is
known to all. Aware of this danger, the profession
has been for centuries seeking a harmless cure.
Throughout the ages, from time to time, have arisen
persons who claimed to beabli to cure it by veget
able and harmless remedies. Unhappily, no per
manent results of benefit were secured. Indeed, it
got to lie received as a settled fact in medicine, that
the disease could only be cured by mineral and
dangerous treatment.
Notwithstanding the fact that ever since a boy, I
had known of the recipe as a famous Georgia plan
tation medicine for the shtves, and that I was
familiar with many instances where cures iiad been
claimed, yet so wedded was I to my professional
ethics that I could not harken to the innumerable
witnesses about me. ■<
Several years ago a negro camo to me for treat
ment of a very severe sore throat. I cauterized it
once, twice, three times, and without other than
temporary benefit. On the fourth visit he made my
office I told him, after a thorough examination, that
he had contracted blood poisoning. He confessed
tliat he had; but said a doctor had cured him with
black pills—mercury, of course. Finding the foul and
fearful disease yet in his system, I thought I would
just experiment on him and see if there was any
virtue in the favorable reports I had been hearing
for years of Swift Specific, so I put him under
treatment of nothing but S. S. S. Four large bottles
completely cured him, and left his throat as beautl
fully healed as I could desire.
Since then I have used S. S. S. in numerous cases
in my practice, and I have never failed to make a
safe, perfect and permanent cure, where the pa
tients have followed your directions faithfully.
It is because of these remarkable cures that I
have made in mv own practice with S. S. 8. that I
cheerfully send you this testimony of Swift Spe
cific’s sure success in all such cases.
Those who know the almost inevitable, perma
nently dangerous effects of mercury will welcome
your discovery of S. 8. S. as a boon to humanity.
The medical profession, always wary of proprietary
medicines, is coming slowly, and in some cases se
cretly, to the use of S. S. S. in cases of blood disorder.
Os course a medicine that cures poisoning In its
worst form must purify the blood of every disorder;
