He Won’t Try It Again Very
Soon.
The man who gets despondent and
then bothers all his friends by tel
ling them that he has nothing to
live for and believes that he will
commit suicide, is the worst kind
of a bore. There used to be one of
them who went to Aiderman Arthur
Dixon with such tales, and Dixon
got tired of it.
“I’ll knock that business out-of
him,” he said.
The next time the man came
around it was after a spree and he
was clear in the depths.
“I’m of no use to myself or any
one else,” said he.
“That’s right,” said Dixon.
“I think I'll just end my life,” ■
said the man.
“Best thing you could do," said!
Dixon. “Come with me.”
He got him in his buggy and -
drove him to the river. It was win !
ter and the ice was pretty thick.
“But there’s a hole right out near 1
the middle here,” said Dixon. “Wait
till I get the hitching strap.”
“What for?” asked the man.
“To tie around your neck,” repli
ed Dixon. “I don’t want to lose
your body. Your familj’ will want
it.”
“But the water's cold.”
“What matter? You won't catch
cold.”
The man looked at Dixon reproach
fully as the latter got the strap put
of the buggy. Then he said :
“Arthur, would you stand by and
see me drown?”
Certainly,” replied Arthur. “I’d
do anything to oblige a friend.”
“Well, if you’re so all lired mean :
as that I ll be hanged if I’ll kill my
self.”
He was cured. He never threat
ened suicide again.—Chicago Trib- j

A continual coughing is very an
noying to persons sitting near you
in any kind of a gathering; besides,
it is of great damage to the throat
and lungs, and is exceedingly dan
gerous at this season of the year.
One half bottle of Beggs’ Cherry
Cough Syrup will relieve any ordi
nary cough, and this remedy costs
no more than the inferior grades
that are thrown on market to sell
at enormous profit.

Great opportunities only pre
sent themselves once or twice in a

Wm. Jones, the “fighting chaplain,
with the approval of Mrs. Davis.
The publishers, B.F.Johnson & Co.,

Saved From Consumption
Several physicians predicted that
Mr. Asa B. Koley, Drugeist, of
Chicago, would soon have consump
tion caused by an aggravated case
of catarrh. Customers finally in
duced him to try Clarke’s Extract
of Flax ( I’apillon ) Catarrh ( ure.
He says: “The result was unpre
cedented. I commenced to get well
after the first application and am
now, after a few weeks, entire!}
cured.” It will do the same for
you. Price SI.OO. dry Clarkes
Flax Soap for the skin and you will
use no other. 25 cents. All of

Louisiana Lottery.
New Orleans, Feb. 23. Ihe
Louisiana lottery company is make
irg a desperate effort to retain its
coiporate life. It has failed to
secure a charter from the legislature
of North Dakota and its next move,
it is said, will bean enormous bribe
to the legislature of Louisiana in
the shape of an oiler tn j ■' y the

about SI2.DO'- '>oo, for an <-xt< :.-ion

“Now, Mr. Conductor,” said a
snappish-looking old lady as she
boarded the sleeping car at Chat
taneeg'., “I want you to tell me the
names. 'A all the places of interest
! we pass on the way to Atlanta, for
this, I believe, is the road along
which Sherman marched.”
“Yes’m,” replied Mr. J. B. Jack
son, the conductor, as he cast his
eyes at two pretty girls with the
old lady.
“Jane,” said the old lady to one
of the girls,” you get a piece of pa
per now and take down the names
the gentleman telk you.”
“Yes, ma,” replied the girl with
a smile that made the conductor's
; heart ache.
“What stream is that?” asked
I the old lady, as the train passed
I over a trestle.
That’s Chickamauga Creek,” re-
I rlied the conductor.
“Take that down, Jane.”
A half mile further another stream
I was crossed.
“What stream is that?” again
asked the old lady.
“Chickamauga Creek,” replied
the conductor.
“Take that down, Jane.”
“What stream is that?” inter
rogated the old lady.
■‘Chickamauga.”
The old lady began to look sus- 1
picious and said :
“Take that down, Jane.”
“What stream is that one yonder,
running into those woods, new we
are crossing it?”
“Chickamauga.”
“Take that down, Jane.”
An < minous silence followed un
til the same creek had been crossed
four additional times.
Another stream was seen tabling
| over the rot ky bid.
With a timid glance at the yellow
waters, the old lady asked:
“And what creek is this?”
“Chickamauga,” came the reply
in a despairing tone, and the girls
looked like they could bite the con
ductor’s head off as the old lady
said snappishly; “Take that down,
Jane.”
Another creek was crossed, but
the old lady said nothing. Still
I another was crossed and she asked.
“And what stream is that?”
“Chickamauga.”
“Take that down, Jane,” was
heard in an almost inaudible voice.
Two more streams were passed, but
the old lady was silent.
Suddenly her face brightened
with new hope as the train pulled
up at a little station.
“What place is this?” she asked,
confidently.
“Chickamauga,” came the mono
tonous reply.
“Jane, throw that paper out of
the window. That horrid ’
“Hold on, madam!” exclaimed
the conductor, and to save bis scalp
he had to explain that the State
Road crossed Chickamauga Creek
! fourteen times before leaching the
! station, of the same name.
It took the old lady some time to
! recover her spirits, but she did after
I awhile, and the smile and the sweet
’words she and h<-r dni: .hters gave

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
On the Death of Our Knight
De Forest Allgood.
Rome Commandary Knight Tem
plars.
Rome, Ga., February 14., ’9O.
Whereas, Death which knocks
“alike at cottage door and palace
gate” has once again invaded the
circle of our beloved Brotherhood
and claimed one of our most.npble
and gifted Sir Knights, and
Whereas, Duty as well as custom
requires that we voice in some way
our own grief, and tender the fami
ly of our deceased Frater our sym
pathy.
Resolved, First, That in the
death of Sir Knight DeForest All
good which occurred January 20,
1890, in the city of Rome, out
Commandary suffers an irreparable
loss.
Resolved, second, That we de
plore the untimely death of our de
parted Sir Knight with feelings too
deep for words. The sad, swift
end of his career, so bright, so full
of promise, with beautiful hopes
clustering about it like jewels in a
crown, strikes us dumb, and ad
monishes us “Be ye also ready,”
and we bow our heads in speechless
sorrow over our loss.
It is sad to see the proud oak in
■ the prime of its strength, in full
leaf and fruitage, dashed to earth
by the sudden rush of the storm,
and realize that no more can
it rear its proud form in woody
dell.
It is sad to sec a noble vessel
end its voyage in midocean freigh
ted with human hopes and human
loves, but sadder still it is to see a
noble life with the dew of youth
upon it, with strength unabated
and the eye undinicd, lay aside life’s
task but scarce begun.
Resolved 3rd, That we tender
the family of our deceased Brother
a sympathy which words are too
poor to express and pray the bles
sings of the comforter upon the
widow and her fatherless children.
Resolved 4th, That we draft our
words in the mute memorials of
sorrow and inscribe a page upon
our minute book to hie memory.
Resolved sth, That a copy' of
these resolutions be furnished the
family of our beloved Sir Knight
and also a copy be furnished to
the Tribune of Rome for publica
tion.

When the sheriff led Stone from

Idinary’s room, ho looked deathly
(pale, but after all was over his

-joyful that he was a free man
; again.

! proceeded from the scene of mar-
■ riture to a buggy which sto I in
