Seventeen cases of measles were re
ported at Raccoon and in the imme
diate vicinity, last week. The disease
seems to almost amount to an epidem
ic in some parts of the county, al
though very few fatalities are reported
so far.
A miser hud died very suddenly and
the doctor who had called to certify to
his death, was in great doubt about
the case. Said the cook: “You jes
put a dollar in his hand and if it don't
close in on the dollar den he’s done
dead, shore!”
The outfit of the Menlo Hatchet has

next season.
The friends of Mr. L. J. Godwin
will regret to hear that his condition
is not at all favorable, and in fart may
be considered serious. He has been
sick with measles for the past ten days
aud was thought to be improving, but
a change for the worse occurred a few
days ago, and his condition is not at
all reassuring to his friends.
Judge Hawkins continues to improve
but it is very slow. Toe judge had a
severe fall while playing with his
grandchild the day before his attack,
and he thinks the injury from this fall
is more responsible for his condition
than a stroke of paralysis, which was
first supposed to be the trouble. The
judge retains much of his old time
good humor and cheerfulness and tins
alone will help him along the road to
recovery.

* will be a mattei of interest, not only
: to them but to all of the more advanc

! give soon a series of articles from the
various teachers throughout the coun
ty. touching the present school system,
1 and suggesting such improvements as
may occur to them in the daily routine
iof work. Iu this way we believe
I much valuable information may be
| imparted, and new thoughts and ideas
i suggested that cannot but be beneficial
i to those who are learning to teach, as
well as those who are teaching to learn,
j Our idea is to have an article eacti
week from such teachers as the Pro
fessors King, Ransom, Shropshire,
Davis, Mrs. Hugh Lee Wood, and all
other teacher’s who care to do so.

The case of Mrs. Joanna Montgomery

Please allow me space in vour
| paper to mention a visit to Chat
tooga church on the 26th, extend
ed by that courteous and generous
. gentlemen, Mr. D. J, Hammond,
to hear Rev. \V. L. Head preach.
Rev. Mr. Head is quite youthful,
being only eighteen years old, bui
he delivered a most interesting
sermon from Romans 12:1, and
did it with such natural ease ana
impressive effect as to show plain
ly what wonderful power the Al
mighty had given him, seemingly
far beyond the intellect of learned
divines of far greater years The
wonderful talent he possesses
places him in the front rank of
Georgia's pulpit orators, a gem as
a minister; and when the golden
gates shall be opened he will no
doubt hear the pleasing command,
“well done thou good and faithful
; servant. Come up higher.”
Aiay our young brother livelong
! and reach the zenith of usefulness
and Godliness as a minister, and
may his labors be blessed abun- j
dantly.
In delivering the sermon referred
i to, the youthful minister showed ;
| his hearers the many evils that 1
beset the unwary and asserted that j
dancing was one, and that the no- j
bio work of John the Baptist was j
forever stopped by the results of I
the sinful act of dancing. Yet j
some members of the different
churches will persist in this sinful j
pleasure. J. F. Willis, j
GORE, GA.

ried or die, it makes news a little j

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding' of the
transient nature of the many phys
j ical ills which vanish before proper es
! forts —gentle efforts —pleasant efforts—
! rightly directed. There is comfort in
i the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
I who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on w'hich it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Here’s a splendid toast from the I
St. Joseph, Mo., Herald: “Hero’s
to Grover Cleveland, the jingoest
old jingo of them all! Filled with
roast duck and c nfidence in the
eternal justness of his cause, may
he fill with bird shot the hide of I
the foe who dares to knock the
chip off Ins shoulder.”
The Oregonian lias awarded a !
.$l5O prize for the best definition l
L , j
of a baby. The Heppner lady who
won the prize sent in this answer:
“A tiny feather from the wing of
love, dropped into the sacred lap
of Motherhood.”
The following are some of the
best definitions given:
“The bachelor’s horror, the mo h
er’s treasure, and the despotic ty
rant of the most republican house
hold.”
“The morning caller, noonday
crawler, midnight brawler.”
“The latest edition of humanity |
—of which every couple think they j
possess the finest copy.”
“A native of all countries who
| speaks the language of none.”
“About twenty-two inches of coo
and wiggle, writh and scream, filled
with suction and testing apparatus
for milk, and automatic alarm to
r< gulate supply.”
“A thing we are expected to kiss
and look as if we enjoyed it.”
“A little stranger, with a free j
pass to the heart’s best affections.” j
“That which makes home hap- ;
pier, love stronger, patience great-1
er, hands busier, nights longer,;
, days shorter, purses lighter, cloth
es shabbier, the past forgotten, the j
future brighter.”
It was a colored preacher who
said to his flock : “We have a col- 1

That is equal to Sam Jones, who
said : “I am going to take up a

this house will give something.”

(Prom the Detroit Sun.)
The large, pretentious brick residence at 86
Miami avenue, in this city, is the home of the
heroine of this interesting story. She is Miss
i Margaret Stenbaugh, and her experience*
during the past four years are published here
for the first time.
Miss Stenbaugh is a pretty girl of about 20
years aud is to-day the true picture of the
ideal, healthy, robust and jovial American
girl. She was not always so, as is proven by
the accompanying statement made by her.
“ Four years ago,’’ she said, “ I was such a
scrawny, puny little midget, pale and ema
ciated by an ailment peculiar to us women
that mv father and mother gave me up to
die. The local practitioner, whose name was
Hr. Glassford, (I was at that, time living at
Scotland, Out.,; said it was only a matter of
days when 1 would be laid away in the
j churchyard. I could not walk. 1 became
so weak, and regularly every night my father
i used to carry me up stairs to my room. I
1 eau distinctly remember my telling him that
; he wouldn’t have to carry me about much
j longer, and how he said, while the tears
1 glistened in bis eyes, that he would be willing
I to do it always, if he could only have me
, with him.
“At this time 1 read, or was told by some
body, of the wonderful cures that were being
| wrought by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
| Pale People, and mv father went to Ilrant
| ford, where he purchased a couple of boxes
| from W. Wallace. I commenced taking
them, and 1 thought for n time tliar they did
me no good, hut very shortly 1 noticed a ’great
! change. They began to act on my trouble,
and in the short space of six weeks l was
| able to walk. 1 continued taking the pills,
j niul in six months I was in the condition you
j see me now. I fully believe that they alone
saved me from the grave, innl you will always
i find myself and the balance’ of our family
I ready to talk about the good Dr. Williams’
’ Pink Pills did for ine.”
