He First Corti Himself with it, and then Psescribes it for His Patients with (•ratifying Results. {From the Lincoln, Neb., Call.) Dr. Samuel L. Brown is a pioneer resident of David City, having lived there tor twenty years’. He is well known all over Butler County, having practiced medicine in every part. It is his recovery from a very serious disease that is looked upon as a miracle. When visited by a Call reporter Dr. Brown gladly related the history of his sickness and his final cure. “ This will be my first step into thedield of a personal interview, but I am so enthusiastic over my recovery that 1 feel like conducting a regular experience meeting. “Six or seven years ago partial paralysis set in upon my left side, and 1 soon became affected by kindred ailments. The pension board found my trouble to be “partial paral ysis of left side, varicose veins of both legs, and left varicocele.” I was also troubled with Diabetes. I became unable to perform man ual labor, having to give up the larger part of my practice. I could hobble around by the use of crutches and cane. I tried every med icine that I ever heard of in endeavoring to relieve my suffering. “About a year ago I read of a medicine called Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, that seemed to fit my case, so I serft for samples. I was so well satisfied with the samples that I sent for more, as they acted directly in harmony with nature. Those are the things I look for in treating diseases. I used a number of boxes of the pills, and I am now entirely relieved of all my several ailments, and am able to move about once more, without being hampered with crippling diseases. In my practice I always use Pink Pills where the diagnosis of the case favors them. “ I now have a remarkable case at Brain erd. .Augustus Talbot, the postmaster, was suffering from diabete and insipidness, and was in the first stages of Bright’s disease. The doctors had failed to give him any relief. All hope of his recovery had been given up when I was called in aiid took charge of the case. He is now on the road to complete re covery. The Bright’s disease was headed oft, and the other ailments overwhelmed. A hap pier family cannot be found than that of Postmaster Talbot, of Brainerd.” Sworn and subscribed to before me this sev enth day of September, A. D. 1893, at David City, Neb. E. S. Runyon, (Signed) Notary Public. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are now given to the public as an unfailing blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all forms of weakness arising from a watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves. The pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price (50 cents a box, or six boxes for s2.so—they are never sold in bulk or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company, Scheueo tady, N. Y. v Alabama Editors Shoot. Huntsville, Ala., Oct 22.—The editors of tho two daily papers hero, Frank Coleman, of tho Ar gus, and Robert L. O’Neal of the Mercury, exchanged four pistol shots at each other yesterday on tl.o southeast corner of the square. None of tho shots took effect, though bullets passed through the clothing of each party. The trou ble grew out of an editorial dis patch, and is probably not yet settled. Both iren were at rested.

All through the south cotton mills can be erected cheap er than in England, cheaper than in New England. The ground costs little, you can make brick anywhere, and the lumber can nearly always be cut within a few miles of the site. Take two plants of the same capacity, one in Eng land and one in Georgia, and the latter will represent a much smal ler investment. The cotton is grown at the door.’ Figures which I have collected show that the cost of the raw material to tho South ern manufacturer is 6 percent loss than to }he English manufacturer and 3 per cent less than the cost in New England. Here is your profit in this one item. Ido not sav,” concluded Secretary Smith, “that wo should move the cation factories of New Eng and to the South, bvt I do say we should from New England and the South move on the world's markets and cap ture them.” * PROTECTION from the grip, pneumonia, diphtheria, fever and epidemics is given by Hood’s Sarsapa rilla.

A woman took a basket of eggs to the city for sale. Upon being asked how many she had, she re plied : If I take the eggs out of tho basket two at a time I have one left. If I take them out three at a time I have one left. If I take them out four at a time I have one left. If I take them out five at a time I have one left If I take them out six at a time 11 have one left, but if I take them out seven at a time I have none left in the basket. How many eggs had she in the basket? The Spring Place Jimplecute notes that Hon. Trainmoll Starr is a candidate for solicitor general to succeed Mr. Fite, and says “of course we are for Tram-; we were for him two years ago—before he had ever shown his mettle in the servioo of the people—and since he has proven one of the best j equipped and most faithful mem : bers of Georgia’s legislature we are 1 for him for almost anything he I wants. Not having consulted our member of the general assembly we cannot say how his vote will be cast in the matter, but we are confident he is for Tram Starr.” In one of the small towns near Americus citizens lost over $17,0'90 ■in the past week speculating in cotton.

Chicago, Oct- 24—A dispatch to the Inter Ocean from Washing ton says: Owing probably to the ' fact that Secretary Olney did not go to Atlanta with the President and party, but did leave for Bos ton today, » rumor is afloat tonight that Mr. Olney is contemplating retirement from the cabinet. The alleged cause for this is supposed disagreement between himself and the President in regard to the foreign policy, especially with ref erence to the Venezuelan matter, in which the rumor says, Mr. Ol ney favors a more vigorous course than does the President. The ru mor, however, is entirely’ uncon firmed, and owing to the absence of Mr. Olney and President Cleve land, as well as all members of the cabinet, it is impossible to obtain any definite information which will confirm or disprove it.

Was Assaultel by Neal Smith, the Cole City Convict Trusty. Trenton, Oct., 22. —Miss Hen derson, who was so brutally as saulted several days ago by Neal Smith, a negro convict, died at Cole City this morning.

Miss Henderson was a beautiful ■ young lady of nineteen years, a | resident of Alabama, where her father is a prominent farmer and formerly chief of polioe at Bridge port.

Editor News: —As I promised a great many friends in Georgia I would write to them 1 will take advantage of the News. Now to begin with I will say a few words about how I expected ; to find Texas. I expected to find ; the wind blowing so hard that a man could hardly get his breath ; also the water to be so scarce a man could not find enough to get a drink and when ho did it would taste so bad he could hardly drink it. I did not expect to find any timber at all. But instead of find ing it so, tho wind has not blowed hard enough to bother a Georgia man but one day since I have been here. As for tho water most peo ple have cistern water which drinks very well. There are a great' many wells in this part of the country which a.e not as cold as the Georgia springs, but tastes just about as well. The cotton crop in this part is considerably short. It will aver age about a bale to every three acres. The corn crop is as good as the land will make. It will make from 60 to 75 bushels per acre. The bulk of the oat crop is selling at from 15 to 18 cents a bushel. The cotton market open ed up at 7| cents, but has advanced to cents. Corn is selling at 15 cents per.bushel. Ido not advise a man that has a good home in Georgia to sell out and come to Toxas. But I will say to the young men that they can do better here than they can m Georgia, and they need not be afraid they cannot find them any sweethearts here, for there is plen ty girls out here. I have been told that when a young man come out here from Georgia the girls would put him in a ring and lar riot him out and the one who gets him can have him, but I have not seen anything of that kind going on yet. The land in this section is of a black sandy loam and produces well when seasonable. I think Texas is one of the busiest and most prosperous states in the un ion. There is some money in the country ail the time. I think a man has two chances here t> one in Georgia. He has tne advantages of an oat crop and a cotton crop to where he only has a cotton crop in Georgia. I will say to my frienus around New and Subligna, that I am well pleased with Texas and am a read er of the News and would like to he ir from both places ihroughthe News. G. R . Quinn. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report Rpyal Pbwtfer Absolutely bube ZULA, GA. Health of our community is very good at present. We are having a nice time chasing possums on the dizzy peaks of John's mountain, and when we get him and have him cooked nicely with potatoes to his back, it would make a negro hit his dad. Chestnuts are fine and the woods are full of boys and pigs gathering them. We think we will get a half a crop of cotton if Jack Frost will stay off long enough. I sold cot ton recently at 9 3-8 cents. That is encouraging compared to last year. Corn is not as good as it was last year but there is a fine crop of peas and potatoes. B. W. Brock is doing some fine work ginning at the Alexander gin. John Salmon is moving to Floyd county. Pink Atkins is going to move to Haywood. Warren Brown will soon have his new house completed. Mrs. F. M. Mayner died last Thursday after a long spell of sick ness. Wo extend our sympathy to the bereaved family. It is hard to lose a kind mother or a loving friend but into all lives some rain must fall. But if we are inclined, we can prepare f or the dark days, and out of the rich harvest of sun shine accumulate sufficient to light us over the shadowy places. Many a dark and dreary chasm may bo crossed on a single sunbeam. We have a right from past experience to anticipate sorrows. Wo know that they must inevitably come, but that is no reason why wo should suffer them before they arrive, or linger over their remains after they have passed away. It is a great drawback to oneself or his fellows to waste time in vain re grets. Accumulate sunshine ; if you have more then you need you can always find some one who will need all you can spare. It is a commo dity that is always in demand and always at a premium. Not that it is so scarce but because people are so wasteful of it. God provides plen y for all, but sad to say most people are improvident. If it fall in golden Hoods today they say to themselves that it will be the same tomorrow. No amount of adverse experience seems to convince thorn of the fallacy of this doctrine, but Ito those who cultivate an even (tempered spirit and keep the heart at an even temperature, there is no trouble in keeping a store of that fine commodity always on hand and how grateful it is to draw upon when needed. T. H. S. John Jackson, who killed anoth er negro near Cuthbert last week, has been captured in Quitman county by Sheriff Bynum and posse. At Isabella, Dr. A. T. Ford shot and killed his cousin, Hon.

Joaquin Miller related an anec dote in Oakland, Cal., the other ' day of Carlyle, whom he visited j with Lord Houghton in Chelsea. , The sage, in dressing gown and ' slippers, sat at his fireplace and poked the fire while he discoursed lon the immorality of the soul. “I know of but one thing on this earth more monstrous than a man without religion,” said he. “And what is that thing?” asked one of the visitors. “It is a woman with out religion,” said Carlyle. UNFORTUNATE DIFFICULTY Which Came Near Having A Ser ions Termination. A cutting affray occurred at Ly erly last Saturday about noon., which camo near proving serious to the parties concerned. Comp Gross, a young man who had removed from Buchanan to Lyerly three or four months ago, had engaged a horse and buggy from A. J. Lee, and sent his broth er Charles to the stable after it. The negro in charge refused to let the turnout go until it had been paid for, and referred the young man to Mr. Lee. Instead of going to Mr. Lee, he reported the matter to his brother, Comp. The latter went to Mr. Loe and asked if it was true that he refused to let him have the turnout until paid for and Mr. Lee told him that it was. During the course of the conversa tion Gross used some vile and very obscene language to Mr. Lee, when the latter kicked him. Gross at the time had an open knife in his hand with which he had been whit tling on a stick. He started at Lee with his knife when Loe pick ed up a rock and threw at Gross, missing him. Gross then threw a rock at Lee, striking him on the side of the head and knocking him down. Grose jumped on Lee while he was down, but Loe turned him and got on top. During the scuf fle Gross tut Lee on top of the head, inflicting an ugly but not a dangerous wound. About this time Charley Gross run up will an open knife in his hand, making threatening demonstrations, bnt Lee’s negro man held him off, and soon after W. P. Foster and others rucceeded in parting Lee and Comp Gross. During the difficulty Mr. Lee also had his right shoulder bone broken but it is not known how it was done, whether by a rock in Gross’s hands, or from the fall. Os the three wounds this is the most serious and painful. A warrant was sworn out for Comp and Charley Gross for as sault with intent to murder, and Saturday they were placed in jaii, they having waived a preliminary trial. It is supposed they will make bond soon. Monday morning Mr. Lee was suffering greatly from the wound in his temple from the rock thrown by Gross, and also from the knife cut on his head. The wounds, however, are not thought to bo serious, but are necessarily very painful. The above are thennain facts in the case as we learn them from a source that is perfectly reliable. The trouble of course is greatly re gretted by the friends of both par ties. Later.—The required bond was giv en yesterday. The bondsman being Mr. 11. S.
