THE GRAVEL WE USE.
City Hooke Says it Is
All Right.
City Engineer Hooke has re
turned from a trip to Rome and
Summerville, Ga. The object of
his trip was to examine the grave]
banks near Summerville, from
which the gravel is being obtained
f< r use on the streets of this city.
Fears have been expressed in
quarters that the soft chert which
is being used on the streets here is
too soft and not durable enough.
Mr. Hooke examined the gravel de
posits and found that most of it.
in his opinion, is of good quality
for streets. Mr. Hooke says that
portions of Broad street in Romo
have been paved with this same
chert, and that it has become hard
ened and makes a good street. The
streets of Savannah, Ga , are being
paved with chert from this same
deposit. It costs that city $2.25 a
yard, delivered on the streets
Chattanooga is getting the same
gravel at 68 cents a yard. Six car
loads have arrived hero for use on
West Seventh street, and several
more car loads will arrive scon.
The West Seventh street improve
ments will be completed in a few
days —Chattanooga Times.
When God Made Mother.
“What histories have been
written, what songs have been
sung, what poems have fired tin
world; all all to win a smile from
some woman’s lips, to bring a
brighter light to some woman’s
eyes, a quicker beat to some wo
man’s heart. Empires have risen,
and fallen sterile plans have blos
somed into hanging gardens of
beauty and sweetness.”
The above is from the pen of a
writer, whoso name has escaped us
but whoso sentiments have been
retained, for it is tho theme of all
themes which she discusses with a
reverence and truth that appeals
t > all mankind worthy tho namp
Wives or sweethearts y u may Vol
have, but hear her:
’I here is an old Eastern proverb
that says ‘‘(rod could not be every
where, so he made mother.” Fven
tho most orthodox cannot find
fault with that sentiment when
wo think of the love that has shel
tered us fromjour cradle; gentle as
dew, strong as the everlasting hills.
I have sometimes thought c-f what
tho judgment day will be, and 1
have in my thought seen a man
called to the bar. On earth he was
known as a philanthropist; from
a poor man he became wealthy;
he held the highest positions of
trust and responsibility in thogift
of his nation, and he used wealth
and position for tho good of man
kind and the glory of God. Il
seemed to mo that there was a
smile-on the face of the Great
Judge, as shown on the face of
Jesus when He met and loved the
rich young man who had kept the
commandments from the days of
his youth up. But listen, the
man speaks: “All that I am my
mother made me.” And then by
his side stands that mother, little
and old and bent. Her hands are
hard and misshapen by toil, her
face is scarred with lines traced
by suffering; and the hosts of
angels caught up a glad refrain at
the sentence of her Judge: “She
hath done what she could. Thou
good and faithful servant, thou
has been faithful over a few
things, 1 will make thee ruler
over many things; enter thou into
the joys of thy Lord." —Rome
Tribune.
A preacher at Cardialac Mich?,

cats by dropping nicotine on their

Europe Near a General War.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Aside from ■he sensational dis
patclies in the' newspapers that!
print" fake” news, enough facts
are publised to show that Europe]
is in great danger of a general war
she Greeks are anxious for war ,
with Turkey and expect to annex
Crete in case of success,
Gr ,-k vessels of war are hover
ing off the cost of Crete and Turk
ish armies are posted along the
Grecian foundry on the mainland.
If a Greek ship should enter a Cre
tan harbor and aid the Christain
faction in its war on the Moham
medans the Turkish’ army would
immediately invade Greece and a
condition of war would be precip
itated.
It is said’that the great powers
are attempting to hold Greece and
Turkey in cheek, but there is doubt
as to the sincerity of either En
gland or Russia. England is coun
seling Greece against making an
aggressive movement, yet is sup
posed to bo secretly in sympathy
with that power in its desire to an
nex Crete- Russia is restraining
Turkey, but it is supposed to cher
ish a secret hope that war will
come, which would hasten the dis
solution of the Turkish empire and
the period when the seizure of Con
stantinople might be safely accom
plished.
The insurrection in Crete was
caused by tho sultan’s withdrawal
of popular rights gran’ed to the is
landers in 1889. By an agreement
in that year between tho sultan
and the Cretans —a majority of
whom I dong to church
the minority being Mohamme
dans —it was provided that a Chris
tain governor, with a Mohamme
dan chief counseb r, should be ap
pointed for the island.
The Cretans understood, of
course, that tho Christain gover
nor was to be of the Greek church
Instead of that a Roman Catholic
governor was appointed. This
characteristic perfidy on the part
of tho Turkish ruler was followed
by other acts of bad faith, to re
sent which tho Cretan Christains
took up arms. The Mohammedans
are getting much the worst part of
the fight up to tho present time,
wlion intervention by other power
is threatened.
A general European war would
give a great impulse to industry
and trade in the United States. It
would create booming prices fcr
grain of all kinds and for provis
ions. United States manufactures
could furnish also much war ma
terial, including cloth for uniform.
There is rather an inhuman pop
ular wish in the United States
that a general European war may
be the result of the present com
plications.

One of the severest yet happiest
things ever said by judge Henry
on the bench was spoken last week.
A lawyer, to capture the jury, was
praising Georgia. Ho wound up
his highest Hight of eloquence by
the utterance, “I am Georgia bred.”
Just as he closed there came a loud
bray from a long eared donkey on
the square. The approving com
ment of the Judge, as the resound
ing noise filled the room, was, “an
other Georgian heard from.”—

PAROLE OF CONVICTS.
A Movement Which. May Revolu
tionize the Penitentiary
System
Atlanta, I eb. 22. —It is possible
that a movement which is already
under way may shortly revolution
ize tne entire penitentiary system
of Georgia. Under the present sys
tem there is no wav by which a
convicted man can obtain freed »m
without obtaining a pardon or es
caping, The proposed plan is to
allow convicts who have been in
prison for a number of years and
who have indicated a-reform, to go
on parole. Though they will be
dismissed from prison, the author
ities will still have charge of them,
and should they make a break they
will be returned to prison to serve
cut their full term. This is the
"ticket-of-l-eave” system which
works so admirably in England,
and has been in vogue for nearly
fifty years. Gov. Atkinson is in
favor of the plan, and Judge Jo
seph Turner, principal keeper of
the penitentiary, is also in favor of
it.
Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine
suited for any season, but perhaps
more generally needed when the
languid, exhausted feeling prevails
when the liver is torpid and slug
gish and the need of a tonic and
alterative is felt. A prompt use
of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fe
vers. No medicine will act more
surely in counteracting and freeing
the system from the malarial poi
son. Headache, Indigestion, Con
stipation, Dizziness yield to Elec
tric Bitters. 50c and SIOO per

Obituary.
In the midst of life there is death.
Died November IG, IS9G, John C.
Shamblin, aged 84 years, six months
and twenty-two days.
He was born in Sevier county,
Tenn., April 24, 1812. Was twice
married, first to Martha A. Stafford
July 9, 1835 and last to N. B. Baxter
October 21, 1858. Joined the Chris
tian church in 1840, and lived an earn
est Christian life till called from his
labors to the home that is prepared
for the faithful.
He was the father of seventeen
children, nine of whom have gone on
before. He leaves a wife and eight
children and a host of relatives and
friends to mourn their loss. Another
beautiful, pure spirit has been called
from its tenement of clay to a higher
sphere. Another chorister in the
courts of Heaven; we know that our
loss is his gain, yet our hearts ache
with sorrow and the fountain of our
tears are unsealed. How dear to the
stricken, heart are the words, “Jesus
wept.” It proclaims his humanity
more powerfully than labored argu
ment, or studied dogma. The dignity
and distance of the Infinite are veiled,
and we hail a Savior and a brother,
touched with a feeling of our infirmi
ties, so tender, so gentle, so sympa
thetic; he only can speak words of
consolation, or lift our hearts from the
dark shadow of sorrow. And may we
not learn lessons of wisdom by receiv
ing the heritage of a beautiful life left
us by our departed father. So consid
erate was he of the feelings of others
that he wantonly or thoughtlessly in
flicted no wounds, or cast a sorrow on
any life.
Though he has gone from us and
we shall no more hear his gentle voice
or be the recipients of his many kind
nesses, he hasjleft to us a priceless
heritage, “the savor of a good name.”
Let us revere the memory of our
sainted father; treasure up his coun
sels; emulate his life; it is worthy of
imitation and know that
: “Our lather's voice how oft twill creep
| Its cadence on our lonely hours
I Like healing sent on wings of sleep
Or dew to the unconscious Howers.”
A. I’. Shamblin.
Spierlerville, Ark.
The Old Silver Dollar.
gllow dear to our hearts is the old
silver dollar, when some kind sub
scriber presents it to view—the liberty
head w ithout necktie or collar, and all
the strange things that to us seem so
new: the wide spreading eagle, the ar
rows below it, the stars and the words
with the strange things they tell. The
coin of our fathers! We’re glad that
we know it, for some time or other
'twill come in quite well—the spread
eagle dollar, the star spangled dollar,
the old silver dollar we love so well.

Our “Amen Corner.”
When a preacher gets a brother
up in the "amen corner” it makes
both the preacher and the brother
fee] better. And it is the same
way with the editor when he gets
a subscriber up in the same cor
ner; both are made better citizens.
And then it is a wonderful thing
to restore that much needed con
fidence, which according to com
mon account has been badly a
bused of late.

Children Cry for
Pitcher’s Castoria.
The following item is going the
rounds: “A Tennessee man acci
dently shot a dog, and in trying
to explain to the owner bow it
occurred, accidently shot him.
In a father effort of illustration
he accidental ly shot the coroner,
and is now out on bail trying to
find somebody to whom he may
explain the latter occurence.” The
chances are that before he gets
through with his explanation he
will be half shot himself.
