Feeding the Nerves.
Jhrvm tht Ouuricr-Herald, Saginaw, Mich.
Do you w*c those two rncn walking up the
■treat? One has a vigorous, firm, elastic step;
his head well up, his eyes bright, a picture of
a aounii and perfect man. The other is bent,
his knees weak and unsteady, a listless air
about his whole make up. He has the appear
ance of one who is broken in health and who
has to whip himself to every task. The differ
ence between these two men is a difference of
nerve power. With nerve power comes energy,
enterprise, force, vigor,—all things which
make existence enjoyable. Without it tha
muscles cannot act, the brain cannot think.
Bear in mind that life is nerve power, and if
you wish to keep it yon must feed the nerves.
Do not simply stimulate them, but coax them,
feed them. Give them the mod which wilt
renew their life, and make them sound and
healthy that they may wsrd off disease.
Probably paralysis is the nearest disease to
nerve death that we know, and we therefore
cite a case of it below to show what a certain
famous nerve building preparation can do to
feed and absolutely restore, almost hopelessly
wasted nerves.
There are but few in the Saginaw Valley
but who have known personally or made Hie
acquaintance indirectly of W. 11. Dawson,
618 Union Avenue, Saginaw, Mich., West
Side.
Until the fall of '92 Mr. Dawson was as full
pf vigor ns any young mm. Asa result of the
grip he became paralyz' d. For this he wag
treated by the hi st medical talent, and also
spent ton months at the Indiana State Institute
at Indianapolis. Here ho contracted scarlet
fever, and when he left the institute he was in
a worse condition than w hen he entered. On
his return to Saginaw he gave up entirely.
He was such a care to his friends. He was
completely paralyzed from his waist, down,
und his limbs were simply skin and bones,
with no life nor feeling in them. Afler a while
n friend prevailed on him to try Pink Pills,
in a few days he could move his toes a trifle.
He was greatly enconraeed end kept on with
them. Tiie following, he told our reporter:
"In two months time I could move my
limbs about on the bed and by the time an
other month had seen me swallow this medi
cine, to which 1 owe my life, I was able to get
out of bed alone. It has been just about one
year since I learned of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills and during that time I have made such
marked improvement that I gladly proclaim
what they have done for me to all the world
anil ask you fellow sufferers to try them and
receive new life. My life, myall, 1 owe to
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.
"I am now comparative]}' fleshy with good
color and high spirits, and every day brings
new strength und more happy life through the
continued use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills."

A COLORADO ROMANCE.
Why the River at Trinidad Bears
Three Names.
“Some queer kinks in nomen- |
claturo are discoverable in this
cotin’ry of < urs.” said Col. William
Stapleton, of Trinidad, Col. “Run-j
tiing right (hrough the town of
Trinidad, in which I live, is a lit
tle river, which familiarly and in
discriminately dots its muddy,
fl iwing business under three names.
It is called variously, the Los An
imas, the I’urgatoria and the Pick
et Wire. The names camo about
in this v ay :
“Santa Fe claims to be, and ie
about the same age as St. Augus
tine, Fla. Both towns are consid
erably over three hundred years
old, although I forget the exact
date of their settlement.
“Back in the middle of tho six
teenth century tho Spaniards at
Santa Fe made up a military de
tichm >nt to go overland to St
Augustine. The old dons didn’t
know anything of tho country
which lay between. All they were
posted on was tho distance and
the general direction, as they knew
tho latitude and longitude of both
places Rather late in tho fall
some seven hundred of thorn, steel
clad soldiers, camp followers, bag
gage train and women, pushed in
through tho Raton pass over the
trail now followed by tho Santa
Fe railroad, and at tho beginning
of winter made a camp at what is
now the site of Trinidad, which
sits fairly in tho mouth of tho Ra
ton canyon looking out on tho
plains.
“There they were on the very
threshold of the Rockies. To tho
east of them, over which their
course must trend, lay an utter
waste of plains, apparently without
limit. All that winter tho Span
iards camped in tho mouth of the
mouth of tho Raton canyon. With
wine, woman and song, they put
in a hilarious time, and probably
had us much fun as they evor had
before or since. Winters are not
rigorous and spring comos early
in tho vicinity of Trinidad.
“With tho first coming of the
early grass the adventurers burn
ished their armor, fitted up thoir
houses and got ready to move.
Tho camp followers, the women
and the extra baggage they sent
back to Santa Fo. When last seen
tho party hound for St. Augustine,
numbering several hundreds, were
marching down the valley of the
littlo river by which they had
camped.
“That was the last ever heard of
thorn. Not a feather ever floated
back to tell tho story of their fate-
With the last flap of the last ban
ner, and the latest sun-glint on
tho rearmost steel cap, they disap
peared from tho earth. To this
day no one is able to make a sug
gestion even as to what become of
them, except that it is supposed
they were butchered by the In
dia!.s.
“Fifty years ago there was an
old Comanche chief named Iron
Shirt, because of the rusty old
shirt of chain mail which he wore,
but neither he nor : ny of the oth
er Comanches knew anything of
the origin of the garment nor where
it came from. It had been in the
tribe further back than the short
Comanche memory could reach.
Many have supposed that it was a
relic of this Spanish expedition of
three centuries ago, which had ap
parently marched ofl' the earth that
far-away spring day in the moutl
of the Raton canyon.
“But now for the kink in nomen
! clature I was thinking of. The
disappearance of th< se Spanish
soldiers seemed so witchlike that
it made a profound impression on
the superstitious people they had
left behind.- They named the lit
i tie river Rio de Las Animas, mean
i ing the 'River of the Lost Souls,’
1 and it is supposed to hold the sto
ry of the expedition’s dark fate
and repeat it to itself in the river
language, which the Mexicans do
not pretend to understand.
“When the French fur traders
under Sublette and Saint Vrain
came trapping in those waters
from St. Louis, in a French effort
at translation, they made out that
! the ‘River of the Lost Souls’ must
i mean the Purgatory river, and so
gave the river its translated name
iof Purgatoire.
“Later, when the American bull
whacker inarched through on his
way to Santa Fe he accepted the
French name, but he called it the I
Picket Wire. To this day the riv
er wears all the titles, as tho read
er would soon learn by turning to
the Trinidad newspapers, where he
would find cattle brands advertis
ed as having their ranges variously
on tho Animas, tho Purgatoiro
and tho Picket Wire.
“Every man picks out his name
for himself, but they all mean the
same river. It isn’t much of a
river, either, only about twenty
feefwide nt Trinidad. Tho Mexi
cans, however, loyally stick to the
name of‘Rio de Las Animas,’ and
Mexican mothers tell their chil
dren of the solciiers who, hundreds
of years ago, marched from there
and wore never heard of again.”—

A good appetite and refreshing
sleep at this season indicate a con
dition of bodily health. These
are given by Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
It makes pure blood and good
health follows.
Hood’s Pills are purely vegeta
ble, harmless, effective do not pain
or griper
Sam Jones says: “I pity the
fellow that has in his memory no
bubbling spring, or babbling brook,
or moss-covered rock, or hard beat
en path, or wild violet bed, or fa
vorite apple tree, or a pretty blush
ing country maid. I pity the fel
low who has no memory of the
first ripe fruits of the summer, the
first big snow of winter, the first
full fire whose mellow light bathes
the old homo wall and tho old
fashioned pictures, and the loving
features of the father and mother
and brother and sister. I pity the
boy who has no memory of the
first spring day he doffs his shoes,
discards the foot log of the creek,
and with pants rolled up to his
knees w ades the creek and watches
the soft mud squirt through his
toes, who has no memory of the
laying by of the corn, the waving
harvest, the scent of new mown
hay or the fruit-gathering or hog
killing season.”
The Citizen pities the fellow if
there grew no mint by tho bub
bling spring or got no licking for
his amphibious regard for the bab
bling brook. The boy who don’t
remember the green apple tree,
don’t remember the pain under
his apron string. Our heart goes
out to him if he never had a rag
on his big toe and his shins barked
from trying to hold an obstreper
ous calf by the ears while the
blushing country maid yanked the
lacteal fluid from old Red’s udder.
Our tenderest sympathies he has
if he never broke a colt and the
fourth commandment at the same
time. If he knew n-uw of these
he must have been a girl.—Dalton
Ci izen.
Tie strong posmt about
the cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla is
that they are permanent.® They start from
the solid foundation —Pure Blood.
In discussing the recent trouble
with a handful of Bannock Indians
out west, a London paper of recent
date wusely remarks on the situa
tion :
The great tribe of Indians known
as the Bannocks, occupying the
eastern portion of North America
bordering on South Carolina and
Massachusetts, are again on the
warpath. A few years ago this
same tribe, under the lead of Chief
Buffalo Bill, became restless and
declared war against the United
States. They were then on a res
ervation in Georgia, and their up
rising inspired Whittier, the Ala
bama poet, to write that celebrated
ballad, “Hell’s Broke Loose in
Georgia.” Many whites have been
butchered, but Gen. Ha nook, an
old Indian fighter and an opponent
of Mr. Cleveland at one time for
the presidency of North America,
has been ordered to the front, and
it is thought that peace will soon
be restored.
SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, AUGUST 28, 1895.
FILLEY'S BAD BBEAK.
Another Story of the Alabamian
Run Out of Town.
. Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 20.
The most prominent citizen of
Georgiana, Ala., has been drum
med out of town. He is Hon. R.
S. Pilley, ex-mayor, master of the
Masonic lodge, justice of the peace,
chairman of the democratic execu
tive committee for his county, su
perintendent of a Sunday school
and a stewaid in the church.
There is a woman in the case and
a funny story.
A town meeting was called to
consider his case, and a commit
tee consisting of Z. Shepard, D. B.
Taylor and H. C. Parker was ap
pointed to inform him that he
nr.st leave town and stay away
lhe charge against this Georgiana
“Pooh Bah” is that ho wrote a note
to one of the most highly respeeva
blo young ladies of tho place ask
ing her lor a clandestine meeting.
The young lady turned the i ote
over to her friends and they de
manded an explanation. Pilly
said his brother was considering
asking the young lady to marry
him, ard he (Billy) took this
moans of testing her character for
morality.
The mass meeting of citizens
was at once called, red hot speeches
were made against Pilley, and for
mal resolutions were adopted stat
ing, “That it is the sense of this
meeting that ’Squire Pilly is guil
ty of a very grave offense in writ
ing the note he did, and that a
committee be appointed to wait
on him asking him to resign all
public trusts and remove from the
town at as early a day as possible.”
We would like to look into the
pleasant face of some one who has

A Tifton citizen, returning from

there have about decided to build
cribs around their cornfields as
they stand, as the crop is now in

be put when gathered. He has
been a larmer all his life, but says
these are the finest crops of corn
he has ever seen except on ham

has 35 acres that will average 55
bushels to the acre, while Capt.

than a 400 acre lot (at least 100

FAMOUS CASE ENDED.
Rev. W. R. Dale is Acquitted of j
Bigamy at Dallas. Ga.
Dallas, Ga , Aug. 23.—The fa
mous case of Rev. Walter R. Dale,
on trial for bigamy here, has just
resulted in an acquittal. This is
the consummation of a fight that
has consumed much time in the
courts for five years.
Dale was accused of being J. O.
H. Nuttall, who deserted a wife
and several children in North Car
olina. He was pastor of tho Bell
wood Baptist church in Atlanta
when the charge was made that
he was Nuttall by men who said
they had worked with him in North
Carolina and could not be mistak
en. He was a bridegroom of but
a few months, having married a
young lady of this place.
The brother of tho first wife
camo hero and identified him fully
as Nuttall The wife refused to
come on the ground that she wan
ted never again to set eyes on tho
man who had brought her so much
m i sery.
An indictment for bigamy was
found here, where the last mar
riage occurred. The cas o has been
stubbornly fought. It first resul
ted in a mistrial, but the last ef
fort brought an acquittal. The
identification seemed complete,
but the juries thought otherwise.
Dale has been studying law since
he gave up his charge and says he
will devote himself to that profes
sion.
The Best Medicine for Diarrhoea.
Mr. Cooper, of this place, had
been troubled with diarrhoea for
three or four weeks and failed to

effectually, and he used Chamber

Remedy, two doses of which effec
ted a complete cure. He says it
is the best medicine he ever saw
for such cases. Also that he had
given it to several families and
they always praised it.—R. L. An

cupboard was bare, the wardrobe

Marvelous Results.
From a letter written by Rev. J.
Gunderinan, of Dimondale Mich.,
we are permitted to make this ex
tract : “I have no hesitation in
recommending Dr. King’s New
Discovery, as the results wero al
most marvelous in the case of my
wife. While I was pastor of the
Baptist Church at Rives Junction
she was brought down with Pneu
monia succeeding LaGrippe. Ter
rible paroxysms of coughing would
last hours with little interruption
and it seemed as if she could not
survive them. A friend recom
mended Dr. King’s New Discovery
it was quick in its work and high

SOME GOOD IN HIM.
How the Prisoner Succeeded in
Impressing His Captors by a
Speech.
The Texas court had convened
at the foot of a telegraph pole and
the horsethief was watching the
proceedings, says the New York
Sun. Presently the judge turned
to him.
“Seein’,” he said, “as how the
boys come off in a hurry and for
got the rope and its goin’ to take
some time fer the man to git back
that’s gone after it, p’r’aps you
would like to make a few remarks
to entertain the crowd and git yer
mind often the main objeck uv yer
bein’ present on this occasion .”
“I ain’t much of a speaker,” re
plied the prisoner, “but I’m willin’
to please, and as I used to be an
exhorter before I got the Texas
habit I reckon I might make a try
at it.”
“Well, go ahead; you’ve got a
few minutes and the choice of sub
jecks. Considerin’ yer doin’ it to
please us, we won’t too perticke
lar.”
“Can’t you make it a few years,”
smiled the prisoner.
“We’d like to, but the object of
the meetin’ wouldn’t git a fair
shake. Besides, we’ve been to a
good deal of trouble to git you here
and we ain’t got time to waste that
away. You jist go ahead and
make the speech and make her
lively for the boys may git to
shootin’ before the rope gits here.”
Thus importuned the prisoner
took his place on a pile of railroad
ties and launched forth in an im
passioned address, patriotic, reli
gious, personal and highfalutin,
the poor fellow feeling as had been
suggested by the leader, that in
this way he might forget the ob
ject of the meeting.
He kept it up for fifteen minutes
or more and then the leader held
up his hand for him to stop and
he looked around nervously, ex
pecting to see the man returning
with the rope; and that’s what he
did see, but the leader stepped out
and beckoned the man to one side.
“That’s all right,” he said reas
suringly to the prisoner; then he
turned to the crowd. “Boys,” he
said, “you have heard this man
makin’ a speech here for the last
fifteen er twenty minutes, and in
all that time he ain’t said a dern
word about free silver ner the Wil
son tariff bill, and I move you,
now that we give him fifteen min-'
utes to git out. Thar must be
some good in him and we ought to
give him a chance to let it spread.
All in favor of that motion say
aye;” and with a unanimous vote
those wild and woolly Texans gave
that horse thief another chance
for his white alley.

GARLAND, TEX.
Editor News:—The outlook for
crops is not more than an average.
All have been damaged by exces
sive rains. Corn was never better,
except on extreme wet lands. Some
will make as high as 70 bushels
per acre. Oats is a great staple
crop, but they are almost lost on
account of heavy rains. Cotton
will make about one half bale per
acre. I made three-fourths last
year.
If W. B. T. has found any coun
try as far ahead of Hill county as
Hill is of Georgia he certainly has
found the much coveted honey
pond and fritter tree. 1 judge he
is not in it when it comes to corn.
Many a renter sells 3,000 bushels
of corn in one year in this part. I
agree with him in regard to Wes
tern Toxas. It is too dry.
To the average eastern person
coming to Texas its like starting
to sea. If he has smooth sailing
and lands in a good part, all is
well; if not, it is a veritable hell.
There is all sorts of country in
Texas. Certainly no one could
get on good black wax land and
be dissatisfied with the produce he
raises, or his health either, unless
he is looking for the fountain of
youth. There is goad lime water
here, and as plentiful as can be
found anywhere.
I will say to Jumbo that boll
worms in cotton and vermin in our
barrels are more plentiful in the
minds of people in Georgia than
are in reality.
There is more public school

one lamented thing; they are in

New grapes on the vine, new figs on the ten
der spray;
Turtle calleth turtle in heaven’s May.
Though I tarry, wait for me, trust me, watch
and pray.
Arise; come away. Night is past, and, 10, it
is day,
My love, my sister, my spouse, thou shalt
hear me say.
Then I answered, Yea.

EOANE,_TEX,
Mr. Editor :—1 see a number of
letters in your paper from Georgia
boys who are in Texas, and if yon
will give me a little space, I will
give my impressions of this part
of the state.
First I think Texas is one of the
best states in the south, because
we can raise here almost anything
that can be grown anywhere except
red nosed briars and sassafras
sprouts. Still it is true that here
crops will at times promise more
and make less, and promise less
and make more than any country
in the land.
I have been in Toxas for fifteen
years and have traveled over the
middle part of the state, and a
good deal of the oast and west por
tions, and I think I could give you
a good description of the parts I
have seen if I had space and time.
Statistics show that Texas raises
one-third of the entire cotton crop
of the United States, although she
has a large area to raise it on.
This state, like all others, has its
bitter as well as its sweets. Wood
and water are scarce in some por
tions. I have to hnul my wood sev
en miles, but I am never without.
I have a good cistern and have
plenty of water. Have to buy all
my fencing material, still it is
cheaper than to have split to and
haul rails every spring, as when a
fence is built here it lasts for a
number of years. Another advan
tage wo have over Georgia is the
native grasses that abound here.
We don’t have to feed stock all
year. I have some horses I don’t
feed at all, so you see it don’t cost
much to raise a horse. 1 was in
Tennessee and Kentucky last win
ter and I couldn’t see but what we
had as good stock as they did.
I see J. L. B. of Stockdale, says
wo have to cultivate more land to
make a living, and that wo have to
buy our living or a good portion
of it. It is true, some people de
pend on the merchants too much
for their own good. He also says
we don’t have any fruits or vegeta
bles. That may bo true wit h him,
but if he will just stop up for din
ner I will show him we have plen
ty of good vegetables to oat, also
peaches, otc.
I have been farming on my own
hook about ten years and have
made an average of throe-fourths
of a bale of cotton and thirty-three
bushels of corn, and I think that
beats Georgia. But if any man
has a good home in Georgia my
advice to him is to stay there, as
land has got so high here it is hard
for a poor man to buy a homo.

It Saves Children.
Last summer, wo had a child
suffering from bloody flux, when
we came into possession of a small
bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
I gave some of it to the child ac
cording to directions. It afforded
almost instant relief and effected
a permanent cure. I can cheer
fully recommend it.—Geo. Jenkins
