How to Curs a Severe Cold.
A few weeks ago the editor was
taken with a very severe cold that
caused him to be in a most misera
ble condition- It was undoubtedly
a bad case of la grippe and recog
nizing it as dangerous he took im
mediate steps to bring about
speedy euro. From the advertise
ment <>f Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy and the many good recom
mendations included therein, wo
concluded to make a first trial of
the medicine. To say that it was
satisfactory in its results, is put
ting it very mildly, indeed. It
acted like magic and the result was
a speedy and permanent cure .

Obeyed Orders.
An Irish member of the Sixth
regiment of South Carolina Infar
ry was stationed on the beach of
Sullivan’s Island, with orders to
walk between two specified points
and to let no one pass without
giving the countersign. He was
one .of those soldiers who believed
in obeying orders to the letter.
Two hours after Hugh had thus
been stationed, the corporal with
the relief appeared in the moon
light and was astonished to see
Hugh walking to and I roup to his
waist in water. The tide had come :
in.
“Who goes there !” demanded the
sentinel.
"Relief,” answered the corporal
“ilalt, relief! Advance and give
the c untersign.”
“But I am not coming out to '
be drowned. Come out and let me
relieve you.”
"Never a bit,” said Hugh. “The
lieutenant told me not to leave me
post.”
"Well, then,” said the corporal,
starting to move away, “you may
stay there all night.”
"Halt!'.’ thundered the sentry.
“I'll put a hole in ye if you pass
without the counterign,” and he
cocked and leveled the gun.
“Confound you and the lieuten
ant,” answered the corporal
“Everybody will hesr it if I baw
it out to you.”
“Yis, me darlin’, and the lieu
tenant said it must be given in a
whisper. In with ye me finger’s

There was nothing for the cor
poral to do but to wade out where
the faithful sentinel stood.

SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, FEBRUARY 3, 1897.
A SCOURGE OF LA GRIPPE
Is Raging Everywhere Devasta
ting City, Town and Coun
try Alike.-
Nothing equal to it has ever been
\ known. We have had la grippe bo-
I fore m this country in several well
defined epidemics, but not as we
are having it now. Everybody, ev
erywhere, has it, has had it or is
expecting to have it. In every pa
per we read of it. Every one we
meet speaks cf it. Perhaps the
worst feature about la grippe is
that it is almost sure.to leave con
sequences behind it which are far
worse than that some things have
been learned, during these sieges
with la grippe. Untold thousands
have learned thess things but a
still greater multitude perhaps
have these things yet to learn.
First, that Pe-ru-na taken before
each meal and at bedtime will pro
tect any one from having la grippe
Second, that Pe-ru-na taken every
hour during the acute stage ot la
grippe will shorten its duration
and prevent the long train of dis
agreeable consequencrs which fol
low the acute attack. Third, that
in case where Pe-ru-na has not been
used during the acute stage and the
victim finds himself dragging out
a miserable existence from the dam
age to his system accomplished by
la grippe, ho has only to take Pe
re-ua according to the directions
on the bottle to realize a speedy
and complete cure. The explana
tion of this is that lagrippe is epi
demic catarrh. Pe-ru-na will cure
catarrh wherever located. It will
cure catarrh of every variety and
stage. Therefore it will cure la
grippe, which is simply tLe epi
demic variety of acute catarrh.
During such a winter as this no
one should be without a copy of
Dr. Hartman’s latest book which
treats fully of lagrippe, acute ca
tarrh, chronic catarrh, coughs,
colds, bronchitis,consumption and I
all other climatic diseases of win- I
ter. Sent free to any address by

TOO GOOD TO LAST.
I Alabama Legislature Prohibits’
Pool Selling, Slot Machines, I
Sale of Futures, Etc.
Birmingham, Jan. 27. —The leg
islature in session at Montgomery
continues to transact much im
portant business. This morning
; the house committee on revision
of laws reported favorably the bill
prohibiting the selling cf pools on
races, and it comas up as a special
order next Wednesday. A bill
prohibiting the .operation of slot
machines was also reported favor
ably. Mr Nesmith followed up
the moral reform by introducing a
bill prohibiting the buying or sell
ing of futures in the state. It is
thought that all three of these bills
will become laws. The house this
morning declined to reconsider the
bill passed yesterday providing for
a back tax collector. The bill
calls for the appointment of a state
tax commissioner, who shall ap
point a back tax collector in each
county, whose duty it shall be to
increase assessments as he sees fit
and to collect all escaped taxes
and licenses less than five years
overdue. He is to be paid in fees.
The house committee on com
merce and common carriers repor
ted adversely the bill to create a
new railroad commission, and en
act a new code of laws governing
railroads. A minority report was
also filed and placed on the calen
dar.
The senate today passed Mr.
Hogue’s providing for the equaliza
tion of the salaries of state officers.
It does not affect the salaries of

Georgia’s Pensions.
There is no doubt, Georgia’s pen
sion business is a much bigger
i thing than any one has been antici-
I pating. Since the last appropria
tion by the legislature the indigent
list is growing surprisingly. The
probable increase of this list alone
based on conservative estimates, in
the state will he from 3.000 to 5,000
ver last year’s list, v> .9 . ’ was only
2,C00. Placing the increase fm the
’ st-.ffe at 3.000, the total number of
applicants under the indigent act
'this year would be 5,00. Exactly
; one half of this number can be paid
: with the
; made by the legislature. Here we
i would have a deficit of a like
i amount in this feature of Georgia’s
pension business alone. Thepros
i pects are that at least 2,500 old sol
diers on the indigent list will not
’ get paid this year.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun
; while disclaiming no lack of feel
■ ing or interest for the old soldier,
suggests that every possible reason
able provision should be made to
r -veiit unworthy or undeserving
men from sharing in the bounty of
the state. This is but just to the
tax payers and to the deserving
veterans as well.
The law should be changed,
thinks the Enquirer-San, so that
every applicant for a pension
should go before the grand jury of
his own county and submit his
proofs in person for the considera
tion cf that body, before his name
is entered on the list of pensioners.
- In this way justice would be done
- to the applicant as well as to the
tax payers.

ABSOWTELV PURE
A FOSSIL MULE.
An Interesting Scientific Problem
From Calhoun.
A young man named Dave Hall,
who, judging from the story below
must be Jim Hall’s brother, has
returned to Chattanooga from a
trip to Georgia, and told this in
teresting scientific problem:
“Great excitement prevails in
the mountain districts west of Cal
houn over the discovery of a won
derful petrified or fossil mule,”
said Mr. Hall. “The discovery
was made by Hip Scott and Lum
Shaw, who believe that the fossil
is at least a million years old.
This opinion is sustained by an
examination of tie animal’s teeth,
which are said to be in a horrible
state of decay. The discovery was
purely accidental. Messrs Scott
and Shaw, who are among the
most prominent and reliable citi
zens of that section, were, attempt
ing to dig out a ground hog' from
its den in the side of the mountain
when they unearthed what appear
ed to be the hind leg of a mule in
perfect condition. This perfectly
formed limb was neatly covered
with fine black hair which seemed
to have been formerly well curried
and brushed. Scott tapped the
fossil limb with the point of his
pick aiid; a thrilling experience fol
lowed. A gallon and suppressed
snort came from under the ground
the limb was suddenly drawn back
into th* hillside, and the next in
stant tons of dirt and rocks flew
through the air in every direction.
Scott and his companion fled for
their lives, both narrowly escaping
instant death at the heels of the
kicking fossil.
“After the thing had kicked it
self loose from the limestone strata
in which it was imbedded it gave
a loud bray and trotted across the
field and disappeared in the pine
thicket. An alarm was given and
the whole community turned out
to hunt the animal. A few days
ago it was seen quietly grazing in
Tobe Simmon’s oat jaich, and on
several occasions its hideous and
unearthly brays have filled the in
habitants with consternation and
terror. Numerous posses of well
anned uiifi aetermined men are
scouring the country in search of
the nefarious animal, and should
he be captured will doubtless be
lynched on the spot.”
The Carroll county Times has
sprung a new editorial on “Talk
Up Your Own Town.” There cer}
tainly can be no complaint against
the weekly press on that score!.
They “talk up” and hurrah for
their town fifty-two weeks in the
year, and usually do just fifty-two
times as much of this kind of busi
ness as they get thanks for their
work. It is not an uncommon
thing to see a bright, pushing week
ly paper with scarcely a single ad.
, from a home merchant. The boys
of the weekly press deserve better
treatment than they usually get
from their home merchants and
home people. The business men
of a town can’t do too much for
their home paper. It is the most
important factor in building up
I their town. —Enquirer-Sun.

LYNCHINGSTATISTIOS.
Georgia Tied With Kentucky For
Fifth Place.
In the year 1896 131 lynchings
occurred in this country, only two
years since and including 1885
showing a smaller number. Those
years were 1887, when 122 persons
were lynched and 1890, with 130
In 1892 the number was 235 and
in 1893 it was 2CI. Os those
whose lives were taken by mob vio
lence last year, eighty were negroes -
and fifty;one whites ; 122 lynchings
occurred in.the south and nine in
the north. The decrease’ in this
form of unlawful killing is agree
able, but there is still room for
improvement. It is no more than
fair to the state of Georgia to say
that the general impression that
she heads the list in this awful
form of law-breaking is incorrect.
Louisiana stands first with twenty
five cases, Alabama next with fif
teen, Tennessee third with fourteen
and Florida with ten, while Geor
gia and Kentucky have nine each
to their credit. —Chicago Chroni

Frank Evans was last week con
victed of murder by a Floyd coun
ty jury, and was sentenced to life
imprisonment by Judge Candler.
This is of the sad results of
the excessive use oi strong drink,
and the inexcusable habit ot car
rying concealed weapons. Evans
was seemingly one of the most
quiet and peaceable men living,
and yet, in a sudden impulse of
passion, made worse no doubt by
the whiskey he had drank, he de
stroyed the life of his friend, and
at the same time his own, for there
is small choice between a hang
