The English queen’s reign of
sixty years is not the occasion of
a greater jubilee among her sub
jects than that which a three
hour’s rain creates in a Georgia
corn field.
To the plebeian citizen it would
appear that one of Albert Edward’s
chief dutios as heir apparent to the
English throne is to bring out a
new style in a hat or coat each
year.
Mrs. M. C. Myrick was re-elected
president of the Georgia Woman’s
Press club at the annual conven
tion of that body last week. Mrs.
Myrick is a talented press woman
and a capable club president.
PossibL he New York Sun’s
Btory arose from the queen’s ap
parent blindness to the more or
less delicate hints from press and
people regarding the properties of
her abdicating in favor of Albert
Edward,
The announcement that Gover
nor Atkinson prefers favoring
pretty women in making political
appointments will doubtless im
press upou the woman who aspires
to equal suffrage that she should
not neglect the arts of the toilet.
An exchange says that we don’t
have any diamond jubilees over
here but we have a pretty nice
Fourth of July celebration every
year. And it may be added that
it does not matter whether we
wear dress suits on this occasion
or not.
The great furore created through-:
out the state by the appointment j
of a young and pretty Augusta wo- j
man on the govornnr’s staff would
make it appear that it is the wo
man colonel who is first in peace, j
first in war and first in the hearts
of her countrvmau.

A Romantic Marriage.
One of the most romantic runaway
marriages that e\er occurred iu this
couuty took place last Sunday near
Lyerly. Mr. Chas. Starling and Miss
Clara Foster, the 16-year-old daughter
of Mrs. A. R. Foster were the princi
pals. ’Squire Rose officiated and the
ceremony took place uuder an oak
tree. The bride returned to her home
afterward and this is the first intima
tion that mauy will have of it.
SDPEEIOE OOIJET.
July Term 1897, Convened In
Summerville Last Friday
Morniug.
The July term of Chattooga Su
perior court convened last Monday
morning at 10 o'clock with Judge
Geo. F. Gober, of the Blue Ridge
circuit, on the bench. Judge Go
ber is here to dispose of a num
ber of disqualified cases iu which
Judge Henry had formerly been in
terested and which, therefore, he
could not try.
The grand jury organized by e
lecting John A Jones, foreman and
A. T. Powell, secretary. Both of
these goutlemen are well qualified
for their respective positions, and
insures that the work coming be- i
fore the jury will have careful and
thorough attention. D. L Crum
ley was selected as bailiff for the
grand jury, while Bailiffs T. J.
w orsham, C. P. Gaines and J. S
Majors were selected to wait upon
the court.
Judg« Gober delivered a strong
and comprehensive charge on the
importance of a thorough investi
gation of all violations of the law,
especially such as carrying con
cealed weapons, selling liquor to
minors, and other matters of like
character, out of which to much
harm to a community arises. He
emphasized the necessity of a thor
ough enforcement of all law's, as by
no other means can the moral
tone of a community be upheld,
and society protected from wrong
doers.
The court then went through
the various matters that the law
makes it his duty to give in charge
, such as a careful investigation of
the books of the various county
officers ai dto ascertain if they
are correctly kept, and to learu in
what manner these officials
1 have discharged their various du
-1 ties.
The matter of pensions were al
so touched upon; the jury was
’ charged to examine lists of pen
' sioners very carefully to ascertain
. if there were any who were not le
> gaily entitled to draw a pension.
The first case called was Mrs. M.
A. Allman vs Wm Allman. Libel
for divorce. Second verdict.
W. H. Chafin vs J. L. McWhor
ter.
In the above case judgement of
the court was in favor of J. L. Mc-
Whorter.
The case of Raccoon Mfg Co vs
W. F. Henry, which involved a com
plicated lumber settlement, con
sumed all of Tuesday morning'
In the afternoon the case of Cleg
horn & Co. vs Joe Davis, claim case
was taken up.
Judge Gober has created much
favorable comment by his quiet
and gentlemanly deportment, and
tLe expeditious manner in which
he dispatches the business of the
court.
Moses Wright, the good looking
solicitor, is making friends of all
he meets by his pleasant manner
and his close attention to the du
ties of his office.
A fuller report of the proceed
ings of the court is neccessarily de
, ferred until next week.
A Card
I noticed iu yesterday’s Trion
Herald that Mr. King principal of
the school at this place, stated
that the trustees and patrons of
said school were at w r ar with each
other, making him the issue. No
such thing has occurred. Several
petitions and applications have
been presented to us; and his ap
plication, indirectly as it was con
strued among the number
Knowing that a'l these applications
and petitions had advocates among
the patrons of the school the trus
tees have been slow and deliberate
in proceeding in the matter, their
only wish being to do that which
a majority of the patrons desire
and they are going to do that if
they know it. J. V. Wheeler.
The trustees of the Summerville
school held another meeting last
Friday and adjourned without e
lecting a teacher. No fixed date
has been set for their next meet
ing, but it is probable that it will
be held sometime soon when the
matter will again betaken up and
considered.

have made necessary for its manufacture
the greatest laboratory on earth. Hood’s

Editorial Gossip.
Major Revill, the secretary of
the executive department, is in
charge of the duty of making out
checks to pay the ministers who
preach to the state convicts. Ev
ery minister draws $8 per sermon,
and Major Revill believes all of
them should be made to send in
their texts and hymns sung at the
meetings so as to give some report
of the character of the work being
done. The present system affords
no check whatever on the preachers,
the pay rolls being made out on
their own reports. Major Revill
says the preachers should be made
to preach good sermons or noue
atall.
Capt. J. W. Rivers, who lives
south of town, is one of the best
farmers in the county. His farm
is not of the best or most fertile
in the county, but he has improved
it greatly by a judicious system of
fertilizing until now herarely fails
to make a profitable crop. Last
year witnessed the most severo
drouth that this section has known
in years, yet Capt Rivers gathered
24 heavy bales of cotton from 28
acres, or not quite a bale to the
acre. lii fact he has not made
anything like a failure iu many
years, and his success is but an il
lustration of what may be done
by any one who has the push aud
energy, the determination to suc
ceed.
Fort Payne, Ala., isiu the throes
of a contest over the recent muni
cipal election in which the Repub

face of the returns. The Demo
crats claim gross frauds, however,
and decline to surrender the offi
ces. -Much bitter feeling 'exists,
and Mr. G. D. Hollis, who was
there last Friday, reports that ' a
serious riot was narrowly averted.
It is thought that trouble will yet
ensue before the matter is finally
adjusted.
Dr. George Payne, the 1 state
chemist, has sent a magnificent

rye to Nashville to be added to the
already splendid exhibit of Geor
gia’s agricultural and mineral re
sources. The specimens were a
mong the finest ever grown in the
state, the rye being nearly nine
feet high and the oats six. The
wheat came from DeKalb county
and is of exceptionally fine growth.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured.
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed ; condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chain Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam
mation can be taken out this tube
restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of teu are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One hundred Dol
lars for any case of (caused by Ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars, free.

A Church Choir.
Last Sunday the services at the
Presbyterian church were made
unusually interesting by reason of
; the special musical features. In
| the morning the usual song ser
vice was supplemented by a quar
| tette composed of Mrs. MacLeod,
| Miss Wilson and Misses Ellen and
Josie Pitts. At the evening service
the congregation was greatly de
lighted with an exquisitely render
ed duet, “Nearer My Gud to Thee,”
by Mrs. MacLeod aud Miss Josie
Pitts. Good music is second only
to the sermon in importance in re
ligious services, and indeed, many
people are attracted to church sole
ly by the music. Os course after

they are once there they get the
benefit of the sermon also. Thus
the importance of good music is
obvious.
A timely suggestion just here is
that the best singers in the various
churches organize a regular choir.
Meetings might be had for choir
practice and regular programs ar
ranged for various services at the
different churches. There are e
nough good voices in all of the
churches to form a fine choir but
not enough in any one church.
There is no reason why this sug
gestion should not be adopted and
immediately put into practice. A
step in this direction has already
been taken. Mrs MacLeod, who
has a splendid voice and fine mus
ical talent, has taken much inter
est in the church music and has
had several meetings at her home
for choir practice. Mrs. MacLeod
has had hearty co-operation from
the Misses Pitts, who have done so
much to make the music at the
Baptist church the eminent suc
cess it is.
Fairly good order has been preserv
ed during court week, although a few
thirsty souls got a little “how come
you so.”
