Dr. 11. V. M. Miller, a noted
Georgian, died m Atlanta last
Sunday at tho advanced ago of 82
years.
It seems to be a foregone con
clusion that the silver wing of tho
Democratic party will control the
convention at Chicago.
Woylor, the Spanish general in
Cuba, has prohibited tho exporta
tion of Cuban tobacco, and now
tho country editor will have to
smoko twofors, instead of genuine
Havana cigars.
Some of tho men who support
iho gold standard give as a reason
that under it they can buy farm
products cheaper than over before.
Hut is that a reason why farmers
should be goldites?
The gold standard men in Ken
lucky wore badly defeated last
i aturdav, at which time 784 silver
delegates w ere elected to tho Chi
cage convention, (id gold delegates,
53 uninstructed and 13 not heard
from.
The recent issue ol $242,(00 of
Georgia's bonds were sold at a pre
mium that makes thorn hear inter
est at tlu» rate of 3 5-8 per cent
per annum. That is a splendid
showing, and proves that Georgia’s
credit is strictly first-class.
Three thousand people were
trampled to death at the feast giv
en recently at Moscow, Russia, on
the occasion of the coronation of
the czar. The disaster was occa
sioned by a stampede of the im
mtns throngs of people trying to
get to tho tallies on which the feast
was spread.
Tho Rome Tribune issued from
its oilice last Tuesday an educa
tional and trade issue which was
perhaps the best paper ever issued
in Romo. It consisted of thirty
six p:\ges of reading matter and
splendid illustrations printed on
an excellent quality of paper, and
altogether was a credit to the en
ergy and enterprise of Editor
Knowles and his able staff of as
sistants.
The prohibitionists ought to be
for free and unlimited coinage. A
party that can believe in the pow
er of legislation to make men good
can easily believe in the power of
law to give a silver coin or piece
of paper value. In fact, a genuine
prohibitionist ought to be a fiatist
in money matters: since a fiat can
as well make a dollar of a rag, as
it can mend men’s morals and
change their characters. —Chatta-

HON. WESLEY SHROPSHIRE
A Biographical Sketch of the Can
didate for State Senator.
From the Romo Tribune.
Tho sul ject of this sketch is one
| of the most popular men and R
known citizens of this section of j
the state. Tie is a leading attorney
; of Chattooga county, which county
: he has represented for the past two
I years in the General Assembly of
Georgia. He is a candidate for
' State Senator from tho forty-sec
ond district and is practically sure
of tho nomination and election,
j His conservatism and sound judg-
I ment were felt in tho actions ol |
the last legislature and he there |
acquired the high respect ot his.
colleagues for his careful consider
ation of every subject and his clear ;
! perception and a firmness w ith ,
j which he clung to that which he j
believed to be right.
He was horn in Forrostville,
1 Floyd county, December 3, 1860,
llis father was S. C. Shropshire,
! who was clerk of tho house of rep
resentatives in 1849 and died in
confederate service in Cumberland
Gap, Tennessee in 1862. His
j grandfather was Hon. Mosley
Shropshire, who represented 1 loyd
as sheriff in 1838, then as repro
| sentativo from Chattooga and state
i senator. Ho also represented
I Chattooga county in tho constitu-
{tional convention of 1868. He died
lin tho ninety-fourth year on tho
place ho settled on Chattoogacoun-
ity fifty years before, lie reared
Wesley {Shropshire, taking him to
| his home in Chattooga at the age
of o years. Mrs. Mary Shropshire
a daughter of Judge A. 11. \\ right,
who for years has boon a leader in
tho cause of education in this city
is tho mother of tho subject of this
sketch.
Wesley Shropshire, jr., may well
bo proud of his ancestors, combin
ing the blood of two of Georgia s
most noted sons and strongest
characters, but ho stands alone on
his own merit and asks tho votes
of the people pointing only to his
personal record. At 15 years of
age, he was compelled to quit
school when just ready to enter
the junior class. From then until
now ho has relied upon his own a
chievements and his success has
been striking, lie entered thole
gal arena at tho Summerville bar,
which has given us such prominent
lawyers as Judge John M . Maddox
and W. M. Ilenry. Ho is now a
mong the foremost ol tho members
of that bar. Twice he was elected
mavor of Summerville, receiving
every voie cast, lie was elected
to represent Chattooga in tho pres
ent legislature receiving a large
majority over his opponent who
was a most excellent man. He
has always been an active suppor
ter of old fashioned democracy al
ways submitting his candidacy to
primaries faithfully adhering to
the principle that a public officer
is a servant of the people. He is
a genial pleasant gentleman with
many friends all over this section
of tho state and wherever he is
known.
Jtid£e Maddox Speaks.
Judge Maddox delivered one of his
characteristic speeches at the court
house yesterday to a good audience of
people.
llis effort was a plain, forcible, con
cise statement of his position on the
financial question, and a vindication of
his record in congress. It was a
thoughtful and dispassionate discussion
of the issues of the day, addressed to
the practical thought and better judg
ment of a people who are seeking to
know only tlie right and the truth of
it. The speech was splendidly receiv
ed aud it goes without saying that
Judge Maddox's friends will stand by
him in the future a< they have in the
past.
Oldest Marriage Proposal.
The old marriage proposal of
which there is a definite record is
3,425 years. This remarkable an
cient record, which is in the orien
tal department of tho British mu
seum, is a small clay tablet, mea
suring eight inches by four inches,
and contains about 98 lines of very
fine cuneiform writing. It is made
of Nile mud and bears upon it the
marriage proposal of a Pharoh for
the hand of the daughter of the
King of Babylon. It is a duplicate
copy of a letter written about B.
C., 1530.

A FRIGHTFUL STORM.
Hundreds of Lives Lost*and Mil"
lions of Property Destroyed.
St. Louis, May 2* —A terrific
cych >no -truck the city of St. Louis
last Wednesday evening at 5 o'-
clock, and in a very few minutes
such a scene of desolation and
death r igned as was perhaps nev
er before witnessed m thiscountry,
St. Louis is dazed by the extent
of the calamity, and it will he a
week before the total loss of life
and the amount of property de
stroyed will be known.
The estimates of tho number
killed vary from 200 to 500 with
tho 1)' lief general that tho latter
figure is nearer correct.
At police headquarters the dead
in St. Louis were estimated at 300,
and in blast St. Louis 200. Extra
editions of the local papers place
the total loss of life at 500 or
more.
The storm left its path littered
with dead and dying and patrol
! wagons, ambulances and underta
kers’ cars were busy all day long
carrying the identified to their
homes, and homes of relatives and
friends or leaving the unidentified
with the city morgue authorities.
The property loss is terrific, esti
mates ranging from $10,000,000 to
$30,000,000.
The barometer began to fall at
noon yesterday and 3 p. m. it had
fallen 0.13 inch. About this lat
ter time the sky quickly became
; thickly covered with dark cumu
lodo stratus clouds, whicl by 3:30
p. m. had settled into a uniform
| mass of stratus cloud which com
menced to assume a light green
color in the northwest. This green
color slowly advanced from the
northwest, spreading more towards
the west and north, and at the
same time the thermometer com
menced to fall.
At 5:04 p. m. the storm broke
forth in all its fury; tho wind
cluing- d suddenly to northwest
with rapidly increasing velocity,
and tho rain fell in torrents.
Tho green cloud still remained
in the west and north, but the
storm moved towards the southeast
and large angry detached masses
of cumulo-stratus cloud moved
from almost every point of the
compass, crossing each other with
tho greatest rapidity.
For hours the currents shifted,
the wind blew hot and cold, and
the storm centre developed. The
fury of the elements was born
within tho city’s limits. In the
west a thunder storm developed.
The early mutterings indicated
nothing more than a downpour
with the ordinary electrical ac
companiments. The raincloud
came up slowly at first, from the
west beyond Forest park. As the
black rim mounted higher above
the horizon, its arc embraced more
territory to the north and south a
strong wind from the east began
to blow right in the face of the
storm. It was a lower current. It
raised the raincloud and brought
it forward faster and faster.
Suddenly the wind stopped blow
ing from the east and there swept
from the northwest a terrific gale
which made the best built struc
tures tremble. With the hurricane,
for that was the first form the
storm took when it broke over the
western part of the city, came a
deluge of rain. For half an hour,
from a few minutes before 5 until
nearly 5:30 o’clcck, this hurricane
blew from the northwest. Then
there was a lull. The currents
shifted. In the southwest there
came into existei ce a stormcloud
with the essential features of the
tornado—the funnel shape.
This second storm burst upon
the city from the southwest. It
came in on the south side of La-
fayette park, struck the city hos
pital and from there tore its way
through the city to the river by a
northeasterly course. It wrought
such havoc as will long leave traces
iu that part of the city which lies
east of seventh street and north of
Cerre street to the Eads bridge.
The boats at the wharf were torn
from their moorings and capsized
and sent adrift. The cloud cross
ed the river and demolished the
at the east end of the
bridge and then it wrecked its fury
on East St. Louis. Shortly after
6 o 4 clock, with the sun more than
an hour above the western horizon
there settled upon the city clouds
so dense that daylight quickly gave
p ace to the darkness of midnight.
That was the precursor of the tor
nado from the southwest. The
hurricane from the northwest gave
the western portion of the city a
severe shaking up. A tornado
from the southwest, which is res
ponsible for the loss of life and
untold destruction along the levet
district and in St. Louis, followed
the hurricane by about an hour.
What must be charged up to this
double visitation only time can
tell.
JONAH. TEX.
Will you allow me space to con
tribute a few lines to your
ble journal?
1 read with much interest the
happenings in Chattooga as relate*,
in the News.
I will try to give only a partia
account of this section of Texas,
To speak of all its advantages and
to give it ample justice is hardh
necessary, as it might cause some
unbelief, although it is far ahead
of the older states as a farming
. country.
The yield per aero is greater and
j the amount of labor is less. A
man can easily cultivate fifty a
cres of land. Tho soil is very rich
and productive, yielding frmn 40
to GO bushels of corn per acre, and
one-half to one bale of cotton, from
which it can bo seen that this
country possesses a great advantage
over the older states.
The ono serious mistake being
made in Texas as elsewhere, is in
t the enormous increase in the cot
j ton acreage. The report indicates
an increase of about 17 per cent
j over that of last year, and about
| 2 per cent over ’93, when 6,834,621
t i acres were planted in this stato a
-1 lone.
Planting has been retarded about
. ten days by heavy rains, but they
( have got a good season in the
e ground.
Texas is one of the leading cat
tie growing states in the union,
and every year millions of dollars
worth of stock is shipped to other
points in the country. People are
I also taking an interest in raising
I ! hogs and quantities of meat is be
ing shipped abroad.
Sheep are numerous, and a large
I amount of money is invested in
poultry raising. The Texans are
a very industrious and law abiding
people, and the laws are strictly
,j enforced. An unusual interest is
manifested in schools, and the
f state has one of the best school
systems in the country.
In the summary Texas is an up
> to date country, filled up with en
l orgetic people who are working for
b the advancement of all worthy in
j dustrial and educational enter
prises. Eugene M. Irvine.
HOWE, TEX.
| On 31 ay 15, this county was vis
ited by the most disastrous cyclone
I that has ever passed through Tex
as. Entering the southwestern
part of the county its course was
northeast, utterly destroying every
thing-'in its path. Sixty-four per
sons were killed in and around
Sherman, and many others were
seriously and some fatally injured.
Among those who died was Mrs.
Sam Henderson, daughter of A. A.
Blackburn, a former resident of
Chattooga county. Sam Hender
i son’s arm was broken in two places
| and he was otherwise severely in
jured. Their two little girls were
also painfully, though not serious
ly wounded. All of their stock
were killed and their crop was al
-1 most entirely destroyed.
A committee appointed to ascer
tain the damage done to the coun
ty, not including the crops, repor
ted that as well as they could esti
mate, the damage was $147,000.
The injured are careed for at the
hospitals in Sherman, but the
i scene is blood curdling in the last
degree.
The crop outlook is not very
promising. Oats will be almost a
failure. Cotton is looking well
and bids a fair crop. Corn is do
ing well at present, but unless it
rains soon it will be cut very short.

C. C. Johnson, a one-eyed negro,
has been arrested and indicted by

which has been shrouded in mys

you.

county. If elected I promise a
faithful performance of the duties
of the office. Very Respt.

is highly respected all through that
section. He lias lived in Clinton Co. j
75 years, and has been president of '
the Sabina Bank 20 years. He gladly 1
testifies to the merit of Hood's Sarsa- ;
parilla, and what he says is worthy j
attention. All brain workers find |
Hood’s Sarsaparilla peculiarly adapted
to their needs. It makes pure, rich, j
red blood, and from this comes nerve, |
mental, bodily and digestive strength.
“I am glad to say that Hood’s Sarsapa- j
rilla is a very good medicine, especially j
es a blood purifier. It has done rue good j
many times. For several years I suffered
greatly with pains of
in one eye and about my temples, es
pecially at night when I had been having
a hard day of physical and mental labor.
I took many remedies, but found help only
in Hood’s Sarsaparilla which cured me of
rheumatism, neuralgia and headache.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla has proved itself a true j
■friend. I also take Hood’s Pills to keep j
my bowels regular, and like the pills j
very much.” Isaac Lewis, Sabina, Ohio, j

Baptist S, S. Convention.
The fourth annual session of this
body was held with Menlo church May
dOth and 31st.
The introductory sermon by Rev.
■J. H. Glazner was inspiring and im
pressive.
Officers were elected as follows; R.
11. Garner, Moderator, J. M. Smith,
J. G. Williams and M. M. Ilense, vice
presidents and J. X. Rush secretary.
Delegates representing Sunday
schools of eight church'*B. Rev. W.
\V. Lee from Tennessee River As so
eiation of Alabama, and Bro. Robt.
Moore from Memphis Association of
Tennessee were also present.
The meeting proved to be an ccca -
sion of much interest; the questions
were fully an l ably discussed in a most
harmonious and brotherly spirit ; the
large congregations seemed to appre
ciate the excellent sermons by Rev. J.
M. Smith on Saturday night and Rev.
W. W. Lee on Sunday. The singing
was unusually fine, especially the song,
“We Shall Know as we are Known,”
with little Miss Williams as organist.
Before adjourning resolutions were
adopted expressing appreciation of the
generous hospitality of the good peo
ple of Menlo and comm unity.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely de
range the whole system when en
tering it through the mucous sur
faces. Such articles should never
be used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the
damage they will do is ten fold to
the good you can possibly derive
from them. Hall’s Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, O , contains no mei
cury, and is taken internally, act
ing directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. In
buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure bo sure
you get the genuine. It is taken
