One Os the Reasons.
If there are any curious to know
why so few editors of country pa
pers are not Sunday school teach-1
ers, and leaders in religious work,
one or two reasons may be given.
It is true, there are stumbling
blocks a’l along the way, and it
would take a page to begin to tell ;
of half the troubles that beset the '
editorial path; but just as a start
er, read the card below, which
reached this oflice recently, and ■
then don’t make any further in
i quiry why the dog fennel in tho
News back yard wears a yellow,!
sulphurous hue, and is slow ly dy
ingout. Oh, tempores! Oh, mores!
DEAR EDITOR:—
I want you to help me cure ev-
I I ory stutterer in the t'nited States
'I by inserting my little advertise-
I ment-below. “Brave” Editors all
over tho land are doing this for
humanity's sake. Just put your
self in ivstutterers place and 1
know you will grant my request
for all good people want to do
good. Would like to receive a
copy of your paper, as 1 expect to '
write up every Editor who helps |
me out in this great work, and
send them something that will be
appreciated. Fraternally,
It will be noticed that he salutes
us as “dear editor,” and closes by
a fraternal greeting. And then ho
refers to the “brave” editors, and
asks us to put ourself in a stutter
er’s place. We are there right
now. But then he’s going to write
us up I And going to send some
thing nice! We only hope that
instead of sending it. he'll bring
it. and if he will we’ll undertake
to break every bone in -ifis hide.
And if "some sweet day," a lonely
head board appears among the
sick dog fennel, bearing this sign:
"Killed by a Stutterer," you may
know ho has come, and is here to
stay I
Judge Jim Brown, of Canton, i
has gone over t? the Republicans. <
Well, they won't tske any prizes '

I
no, no:
Have You Registered.
Have you registered this year? If
not, you cannot vote. That is what
the law says.
If you vote this year, you must reg
istcr this year, and that before the 7th
day of September.
The law requires that you must sign !
your own name in the registration
book. It is not lawful for the Regis
trar to sign it for you unless you can- J
not write. In that event he must
write your name, and you must mak '.
your mark in bis presence.
Remember, you must write vonr
own name. I’ou will not be qualified '
to vote, otherwise.
Remember that the time expires I
September?. After that time you!
cannot register, and therefore cannot |
vote.
Register! Register! Register!
FROM LYERLY.
We had a fine rain Saturday which
came in good time. *-
A protracted meeting is being con*
ducted at the Baptist church here in
' charge of Rev. Mr. Barnard, of Alaba
ma, and Rev. .mi - . Davis, of Newnan.
D. m. Strange and family and Mrs. ;
J. B. McLeod kft last Saturday on a
visit io relatives in Clayton county.
(). A . Smith and little son, Angus,
have gone to DcKillb county on a ten
days vi-it.
Mrs. J. N. Little, of Atlanta, return

in Broomtown, Ala.
The citizens of this vicinity arc re
quested to meet again next Friday
week to linish cleaning off the ccnie
- Itery.
Prof. Davis’s better half returned
home Saturday and consequently his
usually bright face is not so bright as
usual. lie agrees with Rev. Mr. Barks
that a house is a lonely place without
the presence of woman.
t'ncle Billy Goodwin was buried at
this place a few days ago. lie receiv
! ed a fall some months ago fraiu which
he never recovered. Prof. Davis con
ducted the funeral services.
Miss Lillian Rambo spent several
days of last week with relatives and
friends at tins place.
There was to have been a game of
■ baseball at (his place last Saturday be
tween Perennial ami Lyerly, but it
j was rained out.
Our friend, Ed Harrison seems to
have struck a streak of bad luck this
summer. First he had his leg broken
and was consequently laid up all sum
! mer, and a few days ago he had the
i misfortune to lose a fine horse. The
animal was tied up in a stable with a
halter and somehow' fell and broke its
neck.
We are informed that Dallas Berry
is going to run for coroner. Guess
you will get his announcement soon.
Today is grave yard working here,
and there is a goodly number of people
present. The condition the cemetery
is kept in speaks well for the comniu
i nitv.
-
We have just learned of the death
of Irwin Daniel, which occurred at
Gadsden yesterday. Be will be buried
; here this evening.
I r
John Warren asked me to announce
that the horse swappers convention
! will meet at this place Friday and Sat
| urday, 14 and 15, of August. Hcsays
that all are incited and that the trail
ing is not confined to horses alone, but
: bring along your watches, buggies and
i anything you have to trade.

WORKED A SCHEME.
Did a Smooth Patent Right Ar
tist.
Last week a man named Alex- i
ander, claiming to represent the I
ow ners of a patent single tree for
buggies, sold the right to Floyd
and Chattooga counties to A. J.
Howell and Mr. Griffin, of near
Floyd springs. It seems that Mr.
Cicero Hammond signed the note
also.
I An effort was made to cash the
I note in Rome, but the banks did
not want it, as it was duo twelve
months after date. Alexander
then came to Summerville, and
after a time sold the note, which
called for $279, to S. B. Henley,
for $l5O.
In the meantime Mr. Howell
had become-ssuspicious and w rote
to the firm that Alexander was
claiming to represent, and receiv
ed a prompt reply stating he was
a fraud, and had no authority
from them whatever. --
Mr. Howell wrote to Mr. 0. P.
Waters, who had also endorsed the
note, stating the facts, and request
ing that an effort be made to head
him off by w ire, and have him ar
rested.
Alexander boarded the train at
this place Sunday morning with
out buying a ticket, and so his
destination is unknown. Tele
grams were sent Monday morning
to Chattanooga and Memphis,
In Memoriam.
Weep uot for a brother deceased,
Our loss is his'infinite gain:
A soul out of prison released,
Aud freed from bodily pain:
With songs let us follow his flight.
A.tid mount with his spirit above.
Escaped to the mansion of light
And lodged in the Eden above.
To tho officers and members of
Marsh Lodge No. S 6, I. O. O. F.
Death has called again and claim
ed for its victim an honorable and
worthy brother. Died at his homo
in Trion, June 11. 1896, Brother C.
J. Hogue in the 51st year of his
age. Death was unexpected until
a few hours before he died when
all hopes of his recovery wore lost.
His sickness lasted only six days.
Sadly we shall miss the touch
of tl at loved hand and tho words
of,kindness and tenderness which
were ever ready for us, but we
would not call him back to this
life of trouble if we had the power,
for <>ur loss is his gain and he lias
entered into that rest which our
Heavenly Father has prepared for
his obedient children.
Brother Hogue w as born in Wal-
I ker county, Ga., May 20, 18-16. His
• boyhood days were spent in this
I county (Chattooga.) Later his
! father moved to North Carolina,
j and after tho war came, he settled
in East Tennessee.
Brother Hogue was married to
I Miss Nancy Easterago, Aug. 1-1,
1865. Ills wife and eight children
survive him. Brother Hogue
moved from East Tennessee to
Trion Ga., in Jan. 1881. since that
has been an employee of Trion
I Mf'g. Co. Ho was wagoner before
the railroad was hero and was held
in high esteem by all the crow that
was on the road with him, since
which time ho has filled various
positions in the services of the
company.
Brother Hogue was a faithful
and consistent member and deacon
in tho Baptist Church, and for
four years superintendent of the
Sunday school. Bro. Hogue was a
Mason, Red Man and a member of
the Eastern Star, was initiated in
to Mar>4i Lodge No. 86 I . O. O. F.
July 2<>, 1892, received the degree
of truth Aug. 26, same year.
Therefore be it Resolved
That while we bow with humble
submission to the will of the most
High, we do not tho less mourn for
our brother w'ho has been called
from his labors to rest.
That in the death of our brother
this Lodge loses a brother who was
always active and zealous in his
work, as an Odd Follow, over ready
to succor the needy and distressed
of the fraternity, prompt to ad
vance the interests of the order,
devoted to its welfare and prosper
ity, one who was wise in counsel
and fearless in action, an honest
upright man, whoso virtues endear
ed him not only to his brethren
of tho order but to all his fellow
citizens.
That we extend to the grief
stricken family of < ur brot her and
all his friends our heartfelt sym
pathy.
That a copy of this preamble
and resolutions ho furnished the
family of our deceased brother and
that they be spread upon the min
utes of the Lodge.
That the charter of Marsh Lodge
No. 86 I. O. O. F. bo draped in

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
I by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused’by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result and unless the inflam
mation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is noth
ing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We w ill give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of deafness caus
ed by catarrh that cannot be cur
ed by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send
for circulars, free.

A GEORGIA ROMANCE.
An Epitome of the Life of Miss
Emma Belle Finley, of Rome.
Il develops today that Miss Em
ma Bell Fydey, a young woman
whose sensational attempt to sui
cide yesterday afternoon was the
talk of the city, was formerly a
i .
resident of Borne, having keen
raised and educated in Floyd coun
ty.
Miss Finley was taken from the
cemetery where she had gox.e bent
upon self-destruction, in an un
c uscious condition. She had ta
ken thirteen grains of morphine,
and only the prompt and hard
work of physicians, who reached
her immediately after she had
swallowed the drug, saved her.
She was carried to police
headquarters, where she gavi
tp-- tlio reason for the rash act
that she was out <• f employment
, and had no friends. She was do
; tained at headquarters until a
■ friend called and offered her a
■ homo.
Today letters were received from
- Borno stating that Miss Finley had
; friends in that city, where she had
/spent most of her life, and
- where she was held in the highest
, esteem. Tho letters recite tho e-
vents in a peculiarly- sad life.
At tho death of Miss Finley’s
> 1 relatives in Floyd county sho was
, left with a modest fortune, which
i though small, was sufficient for
Q her necessities. Her interests
wore for a time successfully guard-
J jed by Capt. M«-sely, of Borne, bui
i after her property passed from Un
s' dor his guardianship, it quickly
1 disappeared .
t ; Miss Finley left Romo and we nt
> to Chattanooga to live with rela
s lives, whore in a fit of despondency
> she made an unsuccessful attempt
al self-destruction. Tho greatest
1 calamity which befell her, howev
i 1 er, was in Birmingham, where she
r I met and foil in love with a man to
c : whom she was married. After a
i (short honeymoon, she learned that
f, her husband had another wife liv-
- ing somewhere in Mississippi.
J Heartbroken she returned to Borne
' ; resuming her maiden name.
Miss Finley 7 has resided in At-
I lanta for about one year, and has
- I made her home while here with
t Bev. Mr. Vaughn.—Journal.

Mothers
Anxiously watch declining health of
their daughters. So many arc cut off
by consumption in early- years that
there is real cause for anxiety. In
the early- stages, when not beyond
the reach of medicine, Hood's Sarsa
parilla will restore the quality and
quantity- of the blood and thus give
good health. Read the following letter:
“It is but just to write about my
daughter Cora, aged 19. She was com
pletely run down, declining, had that tired
feeling, and friends said she would not
live over three months. She had a bad
Cough
and nothing seemed to do her any good.
I happened to read about Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla and had her give it a trial. From the
very first dose she began to get better.
After taking a few bottles she was com
pletely cured and her health has been the
best ever since.” Mrs. Addie I’eck,
12 Railroad Place, Amsterdam, N. Y.
“I will say that my mother has not
stated my case in as strong words as I
would have done. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
has truly cured me and I am now well.”

For Representative.
I hereby announce myself a can
didate to represent tho people of
Chattooga county- in the next Gen
eral Assembly.
Believing as I do that “a public
office is a public trust;” that a
man elected by- the people is their
servant and not their master;
therefore if elected I will, to the
best of my ability, represent the
people regardless of any party.
Viewing the money question as
the greatest issue of the day- and
favoring the flee and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to 1 and following the teachings!
of Jefferson and Jackson that
National Banks and Banks of issue
are dangerous to the welfare ami
liberties of the people and ought
to be suppressed. Hence if elected
1 will do all in my yower to elect
a man to the United State Senate
who favors the same.
Education is the hope of the
state, therefore I am in favor of a
liberal support of tho public
schools.
-I oppose the present convict sys
tem as it is inhumane and in com
petition with free labor.
As tho price of the products of
’abor has decreased and the pur
chasing power of money has in
creased and I deem it just and
right that fees and salaries be re
duced.
Asking tlio support of every- man
in the county- lam very respect
fully. A. J. Moore.
