What the Editor Heard. 1
A STORY FROM CAYUGA CO.. N. Y.
Sila. Fennell, of Niles, N. V., Tell. of a
Miracle of the Nineteenth
Century.
(ZVorn the Cayuga Co., K. J'., Independent.)
Hearing through Messrs. Allen <k Burch,
drnggi.t* of Niles, thnt Mr. Silas Z. I’en
•ell, a respected citizen of thnt town had
been cured of a bad rau of sciatic rh.umn
tiftin by the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
for Pale People, the editor of the Cayuga
County Independent determined to know
the truth of the matter and went out to I
Niles. Mr. Pennell is a farmer and has a I
heat and comfortable home near Niles. We
asked Mr. Pennell if it was true that he had
been cured of a bad case of rheumatism by
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. He said that
three years ago in August lhf*l, he was
seized with severe pains in the hip. just
where the sciatic nerve is, which gradually
ran down his leg making life a misery to
him but not preventing him from doing
aome work on the farm. Hoon after he was
loading hsy when he slipped off the load
and hit his hip on the wrierl. After this
he was worse, suffering great agony, and
for some time was unable to do any work.
He took such medicines as his physician
prescribed and improved somewhat to that
ne could help some around the farm again.
About Thanksgiving time he was helping to
put awny some barrels of cider which lie had
made, when he strained himself and again
became helpless. He then tried another
physician who felt confident of curing him
Dr the use of the electric battery and medi
cines which he prescribed. But failure was
the result, he got no better, and another
physician was tried and treated him for
aome time. By this time his whole body
was affected. Sharp pains would start in
his hand or foot, run up one side of his
body, over his shoulders and then down the
other side and then pass off for a short time.
These pains would return regularly, affect
ing his whole body, and nothing seemed to
relieve him and he begun to despair of ever
being well. In (lie spring of 1892 a relative
In another countv read of n case very simi
lar to Mr. Pennell’s, which had been cured
by Pink Pilis, nnd sent the article to him,
asking if it did not suit his case. It was
▼cry similar and he determined to try them.
He commenced taking Pink Tills nnd soon
felt belter, the pains became less violent
with longer intervals between them. He
felt encouraged and persevered in their use
•nd soon became able to work on the farm,
•nd in April or May he felt so free from
paiu thnt lie considered himself a well man
•gain. He says he has probably taken 20
boxes nnd able to do as good a day’s work as
•ny other innn, and we enn say that he
looks like a hale and hearty man who had
never known sickness.
Dr. Williams* Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are for sale by all druggists, or may be
had by mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine

I QUANTRELL’S DEATH.
The Noted Confederate Was Kill
ed by Confederate Troops.
Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 27. —
Cftpt. Simon Ilorsely, a man who
served with distinction under Ge...
Forrest died at the homo of his
brother i car Roger, this state yes
terday. Intimate friends have
known for some time that he knew
I of the killing of the noted Confed
erate, Quantrell, but the accounts
did not become generally known
until his death. Ilorsely was sent
as recruiting officer by Gen. For
' rest into Kentucky, and as Quan
; treli was returning from a raid ho
stopped in the vicinity of Bards
town and beg>n depredations.
Horsely. at the request of citizens
there, waited on Quantrell and
asked him to desist, but Quantrell
would not listen to the demand.
He was warned to make no more
raids on the property of Kentucky
confederates and the two men
-opa rated.
It was in the spring of 1865,
ind Quantrell became desperate.
Ho made another raid, and during
an engagement with a detachment
of Kentucky troops Quantrell was
killed. Mr. Ilorsely was an hon
est and reliable citizen, and con
fided secrets to some of his Mason
ic friends that they would not di
vulge as long as he lived. Now
that ho is dead, they are willing to
supply this missing link in the
history of the cause, and throw all
lossible light on the tragic end of
Quan I ,roll’s mysterious career. It
was supposed ho had been killed
>y Federal troops.

The Shakers have made a great
hit. Their Digestive Cordial is
said to bo the most successful rem
edy for stomach troubles over in
troduced. It immediately relieves
all pain and distress after eating,
builds up the feeble system and
’ makes the weak strong.
The fact is, foods properly di
gested are better than so-called
tonics. The Cordial not only con
tains food already digested, but is
a digester of other foods. Food
that is not digested does more
harm than good. People who use
the Cordial insure the digestion
of what food they eat and in this
way get the benefit of it and grow
, strong.
The little pamphlets which the
> Shakers have sent druggists for
free distribution contain much in-
I teresting information on the sub
j ject of dyspepsia.
Laxol is not a mixture of drugs.
It'is nothing but Castor Oil made
j palatable.
Whenever you hear a man argu
■ ing against the good of newspaper
j advertising, you may safely set it
t down that man has never tried it
. systematically. That is, in broken
. doses from day to day, for say, a
1 year. He is the same impatient
3 man who would swallow the bot
r tieful at one gulp instead of the
3 prescribed teaspoonful. It is the
t “constant drop” in advertising as
i in other things, that “wears the
rock.” —Cour an t Ame r ican.

HECURSED HIS GOD,
■ls Struck Dumb, Prays For
Forgiveness and Recov
ers His Speech.
k Athens, Ga., Aug. 28. —There is
a sequel to the story which came
L i from High Shoals, of William
‘ Haygood, who lost his speech
1 while cursing God and religion.
L After forty-eight hours of dumb
ness his speech has come back.
1 Allday Monday tnd Tuesday
‘[Haygood prayed asking forgive-
! ness. The crowds at the big revi
’ val prayed for him. At last nigh's
meeting he suddenly rose from his
knees and began to talk. The
congregation was amazed.
The first words he uttered were
a profession of religion. Then he
said he had been forgiven his great
sin.
The entire community is greatly
stirred up over the affair. Hay
good says he will devote the rest
of his life to preaching the gospel.
One Ben Didn’t Get.
In one of Gen. Benjamin F.
Butler’s political campains, says
the Boston Budget, he was to speak
- in a hall which had a small aper
-1 ture over the speaker’s desk. Some
of the younger and dare-devil ele
ment secreted themselves in the
1 lo f t from which the hole opened,
and at an impressive moment in
the general’s speech a huge wooden
spoon suspended by a cord was
seen descending slowly from the
ceiling. The Effect upon the au
dience was instantaneous, and
amid roars of laughter, in which
even the dignified occupants of the
platform could not help joining,
the spoon pursued its downward
course, halting only when directly
opposite the speaker’s face. Mr.
Butler gazed calmly at the cause
of the merriment. Then, reaching
for the tivphy, he said gravely:
“Hello? There’s one I didn’t get,”
and pocketing the prize, he resum
ed his address.
Marvelous Results.
From a letter written by Rev. J.
Gunderman, 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
-1 monia succeeding LaGrippe. Ter
rible paroxysms of coughing would
5 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
s ly satisfactory in results.” Trial

Who Was Bought In the Last
Legislature?
In Boufort’s Wine and Spirit
Circular, (one of the leading li
quor sheets of the United States)
appeared, on May 10th, a commu
nication which should arouse all
Georgia. It is an appeal signed
by Blumenthal & Bickart, liquor
dealers of Atlanta. It is with ref-
I erence to the Anti-barroom bill
i now before the people of Georgia,
and wqich the prohibitionists of
the State are urging the legisla
ture to pass.
Over their own signature these
men print without shame this ap
peal to the liquor dealers of Geor
gia and the United States:
“As you have doubtless observed
in the daily newspapers, the Pro
hibitionists contemplate another
onslaught against the liquor inter
ests at the postponed session of
the State Legislature this year.
They appear to be well prepared
for the fray, have sufficient funds
and are confident of victory. You
are probably aware of the fact
that a dispensary bill was introdu
ced in both the House and Senate
at the last session, and it required
considerable money and effort to
defeat those measures. Our vic
tory was, however, merely tempo
rary.
We must organize, create a fund
and bo fully prepared for the bat
tle immediately. Our interest are
mutual; and if you wish to pre
serve your business you must act
with us now. It is advisable that
an organization be effected at once.
To that end wo invite suggestions
of any nature (or) bearing, and
ask that the jobbers, distillers and
brewers name a city where it will
be convenient to meet, when we
can discuss plans to preserve our
rights. Will you please consider
carefully and answer at earliest
convenience.”
Upon this shameless statement
we have reflections to offer:
1. Money—“considerable mon
ey”—was used to defeat this anti
barroom bill (not “a dispensary
bill” as it is here falsely called)
at the last session of the Georgia
Legislature. Lot our readers look
into the records of their immediate
representatives and see who was
probably bribed, and then proceed
to drive such men from public life
.in Georgia. A State which would
not tolerate the “Yazoo fraud”
cannot allow bribed members to
sit in its halls of legislation. This
matter calls for legislative inves
tigation on the very first day of
the next session, and call Blumen
thal & Bickart to the stand among
the first witnesses.
2. Here is a new demonstration
of “the saloon in politics.” “It
touches to taint,” and no better
reason can be offered for emphatic
prohibitory laws than this. If the
State does not destroy the saloon
the saloon will destroy the State.
3. The headquarters of the op
position to the anti-barroom bill
are in Atlanta, the capital of the
State. Herein is a fact calling
for unusual activity upon the part
of the temperance forces in Atlan
ta. It is especially important that
the Atlanta pulpits speak out
strongly, warmly and constantly,
from now until the legislature ad
journs. Blumenthal & Bickart
have uncovered the game for you,
brethren. Open fire without de
lay.
4. A bill which such men fight
must be a good bill for temperance
people to support. Liquor dealers
know what hurts their trade.—

1 Absolutely pure
Written in Anger.
1 Words of anger hurt much more
, deeply when written than when
i spoken ; yet good men and good
women often forget this, and are
i tempted to write as well as to
. speak hard things of their neigh
bors. Those who have grace enough
will steadily resist this temptation
but the worldly will often yield to
it, unless restrained by policy.
When a Christian has been wrong
ed, he should remember the coun
sel of Jesus: “Be swift to hear,
slow to speak, slow to wrath.” If
at any time in a fit of passion'you
should write a scathing letter, do
not mail it at once, but keep it
two or three days. If you can,
hold it over the Sabbath, when,
perhaps the hallowed influences of
the day will come upon you and
you will destroy the letter and
save your self-respect. Many a
hasty word has been written under
a spell of wrath, which would nev
er have met the eyes of the person
who called it forth had its sound
ing been delayed for a day. Wrath
would have cooled, judgment would
have had time to act, conscience
would have spoken, and the teach
ings of God would have been re
garded. So save yourself from re
gret, and others from pain by re
fraining from writing angry words.

He Puzzled the Professor.
The late Prof. Stephen J. Young
of Bowdoin, was an accomplished
linguist. One day he was on a
train bound from Bangor to Bruns
, wick, when a conductor who know
him entered his ear to ask him to
come out to the second-class coach
to try and find out whore a certain
stupid foreigner was going. The
( conductor had attacked him in all
the foreign lingo he could muster,
and could get no other response
than a stupid stare.
J Prof. Young went back to the
rear of the train. The passenger
sat there looking very much dis
turbed and bewildered. The pro
. fessor went at him in Canadian
French, then in German, then in
the languages of Scandinavia,
Egypt, Italy, Spain and every oth
er country on the face of the green
earth. Still the passenger sat
“mum as an owl,” while the look
of bewilderment deepened on his
face. The professor was nonplus-
. sed, and was about turning in de
feat to his own car when the man
looked wearily out of the window
and remarked sadly to himself:
“By gosh, I wish I was ter hum !”
He was an Aroostook Yankee
and he could speak nothing but
English.—Portland (Me.) Argus.
Let us take time for the good
bye kiss, We shall go to the day’s

Let us take time to speak kind
wordS those we love. By and
by, when they can no longer hear
us, our foolishness will seem more
wise than best wisdom. Let us
take time to be pleasant. The
small courtesies, which we often
omit because they are small, will
some day look larger to us than
the wealth which we have coveted
or the fame for which we have
struggled. Let us take time to
get acquainted with our families.
The wealth you are accumulating
may be a doubtful blessing to the
son who is a stranger to you. Your
beautifully kept house, busy moth
er, can never be a home to the
daughter whom you have no time
to caress.

iDEATH AT CHICKAMAUGA.
I Mrs. Elder Wife of a Well Known
Physician. Expired Yesterday.
The citizens of Chickamauga
were shocked and profoundly
grieved yesterday afternoon when
the news of the sad death of Mrs.
Elder spread over the village. For
a few days Mrs. Elder has been ill
with heart failure, but her friends
had confidently hoped for her re
covery. Dr. W. S. Cowan, who
has been attending Gen. Stewart,
was sent for Tuesday, but his ef
forts were unavailable, and Mrs.
Elder sank rapidly until death
camo yesterday morning at 10 o'-
clock. She was the wife of Dr.
Elder, a devoted mother and a
good friend, and to Chickamauga
her death has brought deep gloom.
She was widely known and univer
sally loved. She died in the very
house in which she was born dur
ing the war, and she was anxious
to be spared until after the dedi
cation. Funeral services will bo
held this afternoon, and the inter
ment will take place in the family
burying ground at Chickamauga.
Hickman Dead.
Cedartown, August 29. Vice
President W. L. Hickman, of the
North Georgia Mining Company,
was killed hero this morning while
looking out of the window as he
was riding on an engine.
Ho was struck by the water tank
and lived only a few minutes. He
was not conscious after the acci

Bis little son was in his arms
and would have been killed but for
the fireman, who caught the boy
in time to save him.
With Kindness.
Do not be afraid of spoiling any
one with kindness. It can’t bo

and helps to raise the burden from
shoulders which, though brave,
sometimes grow very tired. Let
not a little coldness frighten you
away, for, under the most frigid
exterior, there is always to be found
a tender chord, which can bo touch
ed by kindness, and which responds
in beautiful harmonies to those
little acts of courtesy that, are to
the heart as sunshine is to the
struggling plant.
An ingenious bride, so the story
goes, has evolved a happy scheme
for keeping her husband true to
the protestations of his wooing.
The engagement was a long one,
the love letters exchanged, legion.
With these letters she haspaperod
her boudoir. No man could in
the face of such evidence of eter
nal devotion, object to the price of
a new bonnet, or be stingy in the
matter of pin money. How could
he scold about the butcher’s bill,
or be sulky even if she did give
his pet lounging coat to the old
clothes man, or put her pug to
sleep in his Sunday hat, or cried
because he stayed at the club and
forgot to come in until midnight,
as in his bachelor days?—Phila
