J. W, CAIN,
Editor and Proprietor.
Summerville, Ga. March 31, 1807-
Entered at Summerville P. O. as see
ind class matter.
Hon Pat Walsh is a canidate fur
mayor of Augusta.
There is a big etew, and little
Greece, over the sea.
A now cabinet official is needed,
to be known as secretary of the pie
counter.
Comptroller General Wright is
trying to collect back taxes from
the Marietta & North Georgia rail
road.
Senator Allen, populist, of Ne
braska, has introduced a bill in the
senate to repeal the civil service
law.
Gen. John B. Gordon will write
a 1 istory, or rather, give his per
sonal recollections of the late war.
It is thought the venture will
prove a big success.
The seedsmen of the country arw
making a determined effort to have
the law, providing seed for free
distribution by congressmen, re
pealed. And it ought to be. It is
a farce, at best, and ought to go

It is said that the price of coffins
and caskets has been raised 20 per
cent by the coffin trust. Jesse
James and Rube Burrows robbed
the living, but the trusts rob liv
ing and dead alike.
Very few editors have suffered by
the breaking of the banks through
out the country. Most of them
have their money stowed away in
baby stockings—about one stock
ing to every twenty editors.
Gov. Atkinson will make a tour
of a number of states in May, to
thoroughly investigate the convict
systems now' in practice, and to get
ideas and suggestions that will
prove valuable in the solution of
the convict question in Georgia.

In the report of the veteran’s
meeting held here ten days ago the
News stated that H. A. Brownfield
was a member of the 39th Georgia
Regiment. This was an error.
It should have been the Ninth in
stead of the thirty ninth. The Sev
enth, Eighth, Ninth, and Eleventh
Georgia Regiments, with the First
Kentucky regiment, made up
Hood’s division which was a part
of Longstreet’s corps; and the part
this celebrated body of soldiers
played in the war is well known to
the students of history.
That the men who patted Pal
mer on the back last fall when he
was acting as decoy duck for Mc-
Kinley, and helped the latter by
inaction if not by their votes, are
getting sore is evidenced by the
following editorial paragraph from
The Savanna News:
“Even this partial list ought to
make the bosom of those persons
who voted (as it appears now) for
a revival of ultra protectionism
swell with pride. What is it to
the consumer if his blankets and
breeches are taxed if he can get
crude and salted bladders duty
free? Spunk and breccia are on
tap in it; and balm of Gilead is
made free for the benefit of those
who voted the republican ticket
last fall in the belief that they
were doing a patriotic duty and
providing for a business-like set
tlement of the financial question.”
The next time these kickers get
a chance to vote, they should re
main true to the action of the dem
ocratic party.
Mrs. W. A. King and children,
of Kartah, Ga., are guests of her
brother, Col. T. R. Jones, on I

Why Advertising Pays.
If you don't think advertising
pays, don’t take The Herald’s say
so; consult some of our steady,
persistant, faithful and enterpris
ing advertisers, and ask their opin
ion.
If you have never advertised sys
tematically in the past, why not
look into the question of doing so
in the future? It won’t cost any
thing to talk and think advertis
ing, though you never do a line of
it.
To begin with, if your business
is perfectly satisfactorily and you
don’t care to enlarge it, -and have
no fears of it slipping away, stop
advertising for six months, let your
competitor do it and then compare
results.
But the real art and beauty of
advertising lies in system and in
steadfastness and integrity. Let
the everyday shopper and house
wife know* your voice and look for
your face through the columns of
the daily newspaper. It may not
bo Battering to a non-advertiser’s
vanity, but half the purchasers in
town will not know you are in bus
iness unless you make an effort to
please and attract.
Steady advertising is the breath
of life to retail business now-a
days. If no one ever comes into
your store except yourself, look
for the cause. Have you issued
the proper invitation? If your
competitor advertises and you don’t
there may be something in news
paper ink after all.—Augusta Her
ald.
The LaGrange Reporter feels
called upon to say this:
“The Reporter has always made
it a point to get the news. We are
proud of our country correspond
ents, as it is through them that we
are able to bublish the news from
different parts of the county. How
ever, we will have to ask some not
to write about ’who went to see
his best girl last Sunday.’ We ap
preciate the efforts of our corres
pondents to get the news, and will
gladly publish that or anything
that will tend to build up or help
in any way the community from
where the items are sent, but that
which we mention above is not
news. We hope that our corres
pondents will vie with each other
in their efforts to get up the most
and the best news to be had.”

husband was slain ia a fracas
which she created with her tongue,
—Atlanta Comnurcial.
The people of the Seventh con
gressional district have made no
mistake in reelecting Judge Mad
dox to congress. That he is look
ing after our interest was evidenc
ed by the speech on the tariff bill
day before yesterday.—Rome Trib
une.

buy their agricultural implements
and all manufactured goods in a
tariff-protected market.—Albany

Miss Battie Shropshire has been
seriously ill the past week with
grip. Os all the women in this
community Miss Battie is one that
can be spared the least, so her
speedy recovery is most devoutly
to be desired. She says the many
courtesies and kindnesses that have
been showered upon her have al
most made it worth while to be
sick.—Rome Commercial.

I’rof. Ethridge, of Lyerly, was in

charge of the school, are active, ener
getic and progressive instructors, and
are giving their patrotis excellent sat
isfaction. An exhibition will be given
at the close of the term due notice of
which will be published iu the News.
at the proper time.
Merit
Made and Merit Maintains the confidence
of the people in Hood’s Sarsaparilla. If a
medicine cures you when sick; if it makes
wonderful cures everywhere, then beyond
all question that medicine possesses merit.
Made
That is just the truth about Hood’s Sar
saparilla. We know it possesses merit
because it cures, not once or twice or a
hundred times, but in thousands and
thousands of cases. We know it curesj
absolutely, permanently, when all others
fail to do any good whatever. We repeat

“Come, little boy,” his grandma said,
“Upon this chair you'll sit,
And hold the worsted in your hands
And help yonr granma knit.”
“Oh yes,” the little boy replied,
And smiled a little bit;
“There’s nothing I like more to do
Than help my grandma—nit!”

Poor
Blood
When a horse is poor in flesh,
a new harness won’t give him
strength. If a house is cold
new furniture won’t warm it.
If your strength is easily ex
hausted; work a burden;
nerves weak; digestion poor;
muscles soft; if you are pale
and worn out, the trouble is
with the blood. It is not so
much IMPURE blood as
POOR blood. Pills won't
make this blood rich; nor will
bitters, nor iron tonics, any
more than a new harness will
give strength to the horse, or
new furniture will make a
house warm. For poor blood
you want something that will
make rich blood.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all
its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the meci
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surface of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strenght by building up the
constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer One Hun
dred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of tes
imonials.
