POLITICAL GOSSIP.
As Indulged in by Frank Reynolds
of The Citizen.
Dalton Citizen.
I talked with Fleming dußignon in
Rome last week, and he promised to
come up to Dalton soon. The man who
beats him for governor will do it by the
skin of the teeth, though I had a pleas
ant and “straw pointing” chat with
Hon. P. W. Meldrim, of Savannah not
long since, and it may be that he will
be in the race. At any rate a well post
ed Rome politician said that the “At
lanta crowd would try and get him out,
thereby dividing the “wire grass”
counties between he and Flem and slip
in an Atlanta favorite.”
Another politician told me in the Arm
strong lobby “that the Rome friends
of Bob Berner had influenced his selec
tion as the commencement orator of
Shorter College in order to work up a
boom for Bob and counteract the en
thusiasm Flem dußignon had worked
up by his late visit to that city.”
And yet another wisecare told me
that Brad Tatum would come out for
Congress from the ‘State of Dade.’ ” I
learned while over in Cedartown last
week that Armsted Richardson of that
charming city would also run, as will
Col. Mcßride, of Ilarralson, Hon Lind
say Johnson, of Floyd, and Wallace
Glenn, of Walker.
It is not to be forgotten that Watt
Harris, the braiuey statesman from
Bartow, will shy his castor in the ring,
too.
Taking all these indications it looks
as if the politicians had some serious
designs upon the congressional seat so
ably filled by Judge Maddox, but if any
one of them does, he will have to put
live bait not only on his bank hook,
but trot line also, and set several gill
nets across the mouths of the numerous
political sloughs of the “Bloody Sev
entb.” Frank Reynolds.
CASTORIA
For Infanta and Children.
In Memory,
Os Bro. C. R. Duke who was born Ju
ly 21, 1825, and departed this life Feb
uary 8, 1897.
Our brother had lived a consistent
member of the Baptist church for over
fifty years. He was ordained a deacon
of Pleasant valley church during the
year 1885; was received by letter into
this (Ebenezer) church in 1896.
Though our acquaintance with our
brother was meager, yet we learned
that to know him was to love him.
Our brother was an affectionate hus
band, an indulgent father and a good
neighbor. He bore his afflictions with
Christian fortitude, and when called to
walk through the valley of the shadow
of death he feared no evil. He said,
“I have fought a good fight, I have
finished my course; there is henceforth
laid up for me a crown of righteous
ness, and for all of them that love his
appearing.” Peaceful be thy sleep.
Resolved that we bow in humble
submission to the will of Him that
doeth all things for the best.
That we extend to the bereaved
family our heart felt sympathy in their
sad loss.
That this memorial be given a page
in our church book, that a copy be fur
nished the family, and the Summer
ville News be requested to publish
the same. G. B. Phillips.
Ch’m’n Com.
Mr. E. J. Savage of Columbus,
0., has bought of F. O. Farriss the
Pickard place one mile south of
town on the Broomtown road. He
is going to improve the house and
the place will be in charge of his
son Frank. He proposes to make
a fruit farm of it and will put out
at once 10 acres of strawberries,
and immediately clear up 50 acres
of the timbered land on the west
side of the road with a view to set
ting out 6000 peach trees this fall.
As Mr. Savage is a hustler we have
no doubt he will make a success of
the enterprise.—Messenger.
A, H. Potter, with E. C. Atkins

“I have never before given a testi
monial in my life. But I will say
that for three years we have never
been without Chamberlain’s Colic,

the house, and my wife would as
soon think of being without flour
as a bottle of this Remedy in the
summer season. We have used it
with all three of our children and
it has never failed to cure—not
simply stop pain, hut cure abso
lutely. It is all right and anyone
who tries it will find it so.” For

Completely Cured. J

From the Evening Neus, Detroit, Mich. ?
" Had I known M much about Dr. Wil
liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People three years
ago as I do now,” said Mr. John McLean, of
No. 18 Abbott St., Detroit, Mich., “I would
be wearing the uniform of the Detroit Fire
Department. I bad made application sev
eral months before and had been called be
fore the board for examination. I seemed
to be in perfect health ; stood six feet and
weighed 182 pounds. I passed my physical
examination at the top of the list, and soon
after the first of the year was put on as a
substitute.
“I attended every fire I could to perfect
myself, and there was scarcely a day but
what I came home soaking wet and cold. I
caught a severe cold and tried to wear it out
and did not take any medicine. On Decora
tion Day in 1894 I had to give up and go
home. That day was the first time I noticed
pains in my legs, I grew worse rapidly and
had to go to bed. My doctor said I had the
grippe, rheumatism and a complication of
disorders which had been brought on by ex
posures. What I suffered cannot be described
as I had never had a sick day before.
“ For four weeks I was between life and
death, and when I became better I found I
was a cripple from the rheumatism. I have
read many descriptions of the sufferings of
others with this almost incurable disease
but it seems as if no one could sufler more
than I did with it. For three long months
I was confined to my bed and was a great
care to my friends and required their assist
ance to be tur-ed over. For nine mouths
after I could leave the bed I used my
crutches and tried every known remedy. I
had a pile twelve inches high of receipts
that were sure cures, but none of these
brought me any relief.
tP At this tin. 3 my face was like a dead
man’s and I o -ly weighed 128 pounds. For
years my unc 1 tn Canada had been a suf
ferer from rheir tatism and had been cured.
So I wrote lr t to send me his remedy.
How glad I W3S when his letter came. I
tore it open an 1 there was only a clipping
from a newsp ner describing Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills for Pale People and a line saying,
‘ throw your ot I,a r stuff away and buy these
pills.’ I was j- -evoked at first as the same
advertisement was in every Detroit paper,
and I had seen it a thousand times.
“ I did as he raid and bought a box of Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and
stopped taking any other remedies, and be
fore I had tab'n three boxes I threw away
my crutches and could walk again. I can
not speak too highly of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills for Pale People as they cured me com
pletely with less than six boxes. Just to
think of the hundreds of dollars I had paid
out for doctors’ bills, when six boxes made
me a well man.
“Since then I have been exposed to all
sorts of weather and have not been troubled
with the old rheumatism. Last year I acted
as foreman for the Empire Fire Proof Co.,
and for six months was out in all kinds of
weather and never noticed a touch of the
disease. I never gave a testimonial before
and before I was sick never took any stock
in these pills. I only wish now I had taken
them from the first. They certainly do all
and more than is claimed for them. I
am now as well as before my trouble, and
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People
made me a well man again.”

Mr. John A. McLean being duly sworn
deposes and says that the facts as above
Bteted are true in every respect.

A PHYSICAL WRECK.
“ I wish I could find words to properly
express my feelings and to tell the people
what Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Tale Peo
ple have done for me,” said Jlr. George 11.
Pink, of 709 Hastings Street, Detroit, Mich.,
to a reporter. “ I came here from London,
Ont., eight years ago, and have for ye-ra
been engaged in construction work. For
the past, three years 1 was foreman of the
track gang for the Detroit Railway aad l ad
charge of a hundred men. My first wife
died eight, years ago, and after her death I
did not take as good care of my health ac
the law of nature required.
“I always commanded a good salary and
was a hard worker. Carelessness in protect
ing my health gradually undermined my
constitution, and before I knew it I was a
physical wreck. My kidneys and bladder
were in such a condition as to prevent i at
night. I had a weak, aching back a- no
vitality whatever. I could not do any man
ual labor and fur nearly a year I tried every
known remedy, and had given up all hopes
of recovery.
“One day I read a testimonial in the news
paper about a wonderful cure made by uc’ng
Dr. Williams’Pink Pills tor Pale People in
a case about the same as mine. I bought a
box of these pills but did not take them for
nearly a week after. One morning after
suffering all night I thought of the pills and
started to take them. I suffered less pin
that night and decided to give them a thor
ough trial. In four days they had helped
inc so much that I got the first night’s sleep
for months. I doubled the dose and after!
had taken three boxes of Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills the pain in my back had disappeai d.
1 continued their use until I had taken eight
boxes, and then reduced the number I had
been taking to only one after each meal.
“ I gradually gained in color, weight and
strength. In six months I felt like a young
man again. lam pleased to have the oppor
tunity of praising Dr. Williams’ Pink P ; Us,
and hope that every one who is suffering
from any trouble similar to mine will now
be convinced that Dr. Williams’ Pink Tills
will do for them what they have for me.
They can call and see me or write to mo if
they are in doubt.”
“George IT. Pink.”
