We don’t see how it is that some folkscan go for months and years with malice fostered up in their bosoms against another, wtih noth ing but a trifle or an imaginary grievance. We can get as mad at times as anybody, perhaps, but we can’t hate a person everlastingly. A pretty Kansas girl has been ar rested on the complaints of a young man who charges that she I “did suddenly, forcefully and in tention ally hug him, thereby caus ing him groat confusion and men tal anguish. The court ought to sentence that young man to eat a bale of hay for being an ass. There is no exaggeration in say ing that the hope of America in the rising generation is in the Christian mothers. The individ ual and national character maybe traced to the training imparted un der the domestic roof, and its ben eficial or baneful influence may be guaged by the religious and mora training of the family circle.

ADVERTISING IS THE LIFE OF TRADE.===WHY DON’T YOU TRY IT, AND SEE? A ROMANCE, That Comes From The Blue Grass Country. RATHER A STRANGE STORY. Going to Marry Her Would Be Murderer.—Truth Stranger Than Fiction, One of the most interesting ro mances of Kentucky life, says a Lexington, Ky., dispatch to the New York Sun, will soon culmin ate in the marriage of Oscar Fish er to Miss Pe?.rl Crouch. Miss I Crouch lived with her father, Wil liam Crouch, and her two brothers nearly grown, in Bourbon county, in 1895. She had a lover. John Powers, to whom she was engaged to be married, which fact was un known to her father, who had a violent dislike for Powers. He forbade him to call, but Powers paid no heed and visited Miss Pearl clandestinely. Their tryst place wvs in the orchard under a large apple tree. One day in the early summer of 1895, the father surprised the lov ers under the tree and drew his pis tol and attempted to kill Powers. The young man was too quick for him, and drawing his pistol, shot him in the groin. Crouch fell and j his pistol was taken from him by : his daughter. Powers assist© 1 in carrying him to the house and then left. At first the wounded man seemed to bo doing well, and Miss Pearl, believing that he would recover, set the hour and day for eloping with Powers to Aberdeen, where they intended to get married. Her father learned of her plans, and it is beleived, generally, forced his boys to arm themselves and lie in wait for Pow ers. When Powers came to meet his future wife he got avol’ey of buck shot in his body, and the girl a few minutes later stumbled over his dead body’ in the weeds in the orchard. Powers was dressed in his wedding clothes, even to his kid gloves. His assassination caused a sensation in Bourbon county, and the whole Crouch fam ily’ was arrested for .the crime. The excitement brought on by the crime and the arrest of the family caused the old man to grow rapid ly worse, a high fever set in, and in a few days he died. His sons decided it would be best to break up housekeeping after they were acquitted of killing Powers on ac count of lack of evidence. Miss Pearl went to Louisville to live with an aunt. Oscar Swisher, a young German of that place, fell madly ih love with the Blue Grass girl and paid her marked atten- I tion. She was still mourning for Powers and her father, and did not | take kindly to the German’s suit She told him she did not love him, but this seemed only to increase his passion, and one night last August upon her again refusing to J marry him, he shot her in the breast. Thinking he had killed her, he shot himself in the head. ' The wound did not kill him. The ' girl lingered for months between ■ life and death and finall recovered. J Swisher was put in jail to await I the result of her wound, and he j has been indicted for shooting I with intent to kill. 1 Miss Crouch, after her recovery, ! fell in love with the man .who at tempted to murder her, and in stead of appearing against him in ' court went to the home of a rela tive in Ripley, Ohio, where she is. i It is her intention to marry him, and he will be released soon from i jail because she declined to prose i cute him. I pon his release he will go immediately to Ripley where the marriage will take i place. SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, MARCH 10, 1897. A COUNTERFEITER CAUGHT. The Police of Syracuse Make an Important Capture. On Monday the 15th. Harold Marquisee, of Utica, N. Y., was ar rested in Syracuse, N. Y., on a warrant sworn out by the Dr. Wil liams’ Medicine Co., charging him with forgery. On the 15th of De cember Marquisee visited a photo engraver in Syracuse, saying he was the representative of the Dr. Wil liams’ Medicine Co., arranged for the making of a full set of plates for the direction sheets, labels, etc., of the famous Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. News of this reached the home office, and no time was lost in arranging for his arrest when he should return for the plates. He returned on the 15th and was accordingly arrested and is now in jail in Syracuse awaiting examination, which oc curs on March 2d. This arrest proves to be an im portant one. In addition to va rious plunder, such as medical books, typewriters, rugs, etc., found in Marquiseo’s trunk when arrest ed, the police also found counter feit coin both in the trunk and on hiS person: and in a search of his apartments at Utica found a com* plete outfit for counterfeiting con sisting of crucibles, bellows, nickel lead, bismuth, antimony, a small blacksmith forge, a charcoal fur nace, and several plaster-of-pans molds. The United States mar shals want him just as soon as the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co. are through with him, and, no doubt, he will be sentenced for a long pe riod. In selecting Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for his counter feiting opera tions, he showed his knowledge of the proprietory medicine business; for these pills are in such great de mand that they are easily sold at any drug store in the United States. His scheme was to work the coun try druggists and sell his imita tions at a discount of from 2 per cent, to 5 per cent., explaining the reduced price by the fact that he had picked them up in small lots and at a discount from dealers who were overstocked. By working fast and making long jumps, he would have secured many hundreds of dollars in a short time. The pro prietors of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are most fortunate to have caught the rogue, before he had fairly started, and to have thus kept these spurious goods out of the market. How to Cure 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 cure. From the advertise ment” of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and the many good recom mendations included therein, we 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. — , The Banner of Liberty, Liberty town, Maryland. The 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by H. H. Arring ton. In St. Louis Judge Klein has re fused a divorce for a couple who had been married twenty-six years and had fourteen children. “Rea sonable forbearance,” said Judge Klein, “will enable you to live to | gether during your few remaining years, thereby setting a good ex j ample to your children to lead them lin the paths of virtue and recti tude. ” The St. Louis Republic j wickedly suggests that the judge ■ evidently believes in a fight to a 1 finish. THE UNKNOWN Hero Who Fills a Soldiers At Allatoona. -A CONFEDERATE OFFICER. • An Interesting Exlpanation Os a Mystery of The Late War. Renewed interest has been arous ed in the “Lone Soldier’s Grave” at Allatoona, by recent publica tions in regard to the identity of the unknown hero, notably among which was a letter from Hiram P. Bush, of the 29th Alabama, pub lished in the Atlanta Journal, and which the Marietta Journal misin terpret as identifying the lone grave as that of his brother Colum bus Franklin Bush. The Courant American has been furnished the following, whic h while it does not give name, iden tifies the grave as that of a con federate lieutenant, towit: “The Lone Soldiers Grave at Al iuiooE, Ga., situated at ure ROTth and of Allatoona Pass close to the I west side of the track of the W. & A. railroad contains a confederate lieutenant. He was aide de camp on Gen. Joe Johnston’s staff. He was killed on the 25th of May 1864. ate in the afternooon, while car rying dispatches from one wing of the confederate army to the other. At this time the left wing of the confederate army was concentrated about New Hope church, and the line of defense at Kennesaw was taking shape. Ho was a very fine looking young man, about twenty five years of age, nicely dressed in the uniform of a lieutenant, and was alone so far as known. He accidentally met some of the Ist division of the 20th corps of Gen. Williams’ division, then in the ad vance of that part of the union ar my along the railroad. He would not surrender but took the chances of escape amid a shower of bullets He was buried where he fell near the track where the grave was easi ly and quickly dug in the gravel. He gave evidence of being a very brave soldier. This was long be fore the fall of Atlanta and of course before the memorable battle of Allatoona, when the confederate forces under Gen. French attemp ted the capture of the union garri son under Gen. Corse in October.” \ Theodore M. Kellogg, Kaukauna, Wis- The author of the above is a bro ther of Mr. D. D. Kellogg, late a cit izen of Marietta, and both are well and favorably known in that as well as in this community, and it cannot be doubted that he makes his statement upon what he ispre ; pared to offer as unimpeachable testimony.—Courant-American.

Miss Florence Arnold, an accom plished young lady of LaFayette, is visiting the family of Jos. Hammond. Miss Asnold has many friends here that always welcome her visits. A horse of Robert Gentry’s ran away with his wagon last week; completely demolishing the wagon, and when last heard from Rob was still trying to catch his horse. Mrs. Lydia Haygood died of con sumption at the home of her father J. 11. Gilreath near here. The re mains were interred at Macedonia cem etery Saturday evening, Rev. W. L. Head conducting the funeral services. Mr. L. S. Thacker and family, of near Menlo, was visiting fiiends here Saturday and Sunday. Misses Josie and Nanie Gilreath, of near Menlo, visited relatives near here Saturday and Sunday. Mr. D. A. Gilreath, of Ringgold, at' I tended the uu.rial of his sister, Mrs. Haygood, here Sunadj’. LaFayette Nunn and sista’ ; Miss Sallie, of Trion, were visiting relatives near here Saturday. Last Sunday was usual service day at the Presbyterian church here but no services were held there; the doors were not opened and will open no more to welcome the church’s former Pastor, Rev. W. Milner. His member ship and union with his churches here has been severed and transplanted in the church triumphant above, where he will rest from his labors; receive the reward of the blessed and be crowned, not as our Savior was “with a crown of thorns,” but with a crown of right eousness. Bro. Milner was pastor of the Presbyterian church here 'for a number of years and was esteemed very highly by the members for his Godly walk and many pure traits of Christain character. They had learned to love him and the news of his death was indeed very sad to them; but would say to them resolve to follow the teachings of the divine word as he often exhorted them to do, and to meet their beloved Pastor in the glory world where sickness and death is not known. Bro Milner was a noble Christian, and a brave soldier in the Christian war fare, ever ready to defend the cause of his Master and to instruct the sinner in the ways to eternal life. He was always ready to minister to the sick and speak to the bereaved. And though he is dead h ; s memory we cherish, and perchance while his body returns to the earth from whence it came, and his spirit in the glory world be, it may be through, and by, his preaching and prayers while here that many may yet be made to rejoice in the blessings of a crucified Savior. It is passing strange why one so useful should be taken from us; but God doeth all things well and worketh to the good of those that love him; so let us not grieve for our beloved and departed pastor. He is not dead, but sleepeth the sleep of the blessed. Asleepin Jesus blessed sleep From whichnone ever wake to weep. Valley Girl. SILVERHILL. Mr. J. M. Moss, who has been very sick with grippe, is able to be out again. Mr. D. W. Herndon, who is at tending the Gaylesville High School, was at home on a visit to his parents a few days ago. Miss Lou Moss is visiting friends at Trion for a few days. Mr. Jesse Perry visited his best girl at Silver Hill a few days ago. Misses Emma Burns and Annie ' Stephenson were visiting the Miss ; McNeals a few days ago. Mr. E. N. Stephenson and daugh ter Annie, visited friends at New Saturday and Sunday. Blue Eyed Girl. Spring Catarrh. Again spring is here. The long, cold winter with its bluster and chill, has passed, and has left in its train innumerab’e victims of chronic catarrh. They have taken a great many remedies during the winter with perhaps temporary re lief, but a fresh cold has brought on the symptoms, and, heartsick and weary of trying, they have con cluded that there can be no relief for them. This is a groat mistake ; and now is the time to rectify it. The spring time is the most fa vorable time of the year to treat catarrh. There is so much less li ability to take fresh cold that the treatment is unimpeded. All old cases of chronic catarrh should be gin immediately a course of Po ru-na as directed in Dr. Hartman’s books on this disease. There are so many different phases and Stages of catarrh that one hardly knows when* he has it. A great many people think they £te suffer ing from something else and huj’e tried many medicines in vain, when if they could realize that it is catarrh and take Pe-ru-na for it they would improve promptly and soon recover entirely. All who desire to learn more of catarrh should send for a free copy of Dr. Hartman’s latest book, which will be sent free by The Pe ru-na Drug Manufacturing Com pany, Columbus, O. LYERLY, GA. Wc are pained to report the death of Thomas Holland, son of C. I. Holland, of Holland, Ga. He was a promising boy, just entering young manhood, and his death is a sad blow to the father, mother, brothers and sisters. Wc ex tend to them our sincere sympathy in their sad bereavement, but they mourn not as those who have no hope, for his dying testimony was: “I am ready to go.” The interment occurred at this place Sunday. Rev. J. 11. Glazner tilled his regular appointment here Sunday. Hereafter the services will be help on the fourth Sundays, instead of the first, as here tofore. Rev. Mr. Troutman preached an ex cellent sermon to a large congregation Sunday night. Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Wyatt and Miss Maggie Powell, and Robert Alexander and sister Miss Alma, of near Alpine, visited Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Powell, at this place, Sunday. There must be greater attractions here for Frank Lee than formerly, as he visits his parents every Sunday now, instead of once a month as be fore. Allright, Frank, we shell down the corn and admit that the attractions are great; but you must hitch your horse better next time. A. J. Lee went to Chattanooga last week on business. He has moved his sawmill and engine from the chair fac tory at this place to the farm of Isaac Hogg, below Foster’s store. Either the News or the Madisonian made a mistake last week, as Mrs. J. L. Pollock is still in Lyerly, and not in Madison. (It was th Madisonian, of course.—Ed.) John Williams will soon have part of his house ready for occupancy. W. P. Foster expects to enlarge his hotel some time soon. m. The mail route, which heretofore has run from sharpe, Ga., to Valley Store, has been extended from the lat ter place to Trion. This will be quite a convenience both to the citizens of Trion as well as those along the rou Ve, No. 1.
