It is reported that every Demo cratic paper in Georgia has come out in support of Bryan and Sew all. Many of the gold standard paj ers have been halting between two opinions, but at last, very ' wisely wo think, have decided to remain loyal t > the Democratic Hag. The strange part of it is that any paper, or individual south, who claim.- to lea Democrat, could for a moment hesitate when it comes to a choice between the leaders and the platforms of the two great parties. Cotton ties which sold last sea son at about 65 cents per bundle, have suddenly gone up to $1 25, and may go higher.

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 ' with him at a beautv show. No, ' 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 ed home Saturday after a month's vis it to relatives in Walker county, and 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. Misses Dora and Lillian Rambo were jout today. John Horn and wife, of Cedar Springs, are visiting xirs. Conley. M. 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.

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 mourning 30 days from the adop tion of these resolutions. That a copy be furnished the i Trion Echo and Chattooga News I for publication. Fraternally sub mitted. B. F. Flournoy, 1 E.

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.

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.
