self.
Prosperity hasn’t turned loose a
pigeon lately.
Oh! MaCook, MeCook, My-
Cook !
And Brer Dave Hill—he lay
low !
McCook now belongs to the im
mortalsr.v.
McCook wasn’t “possuming” af
ter all.
Andree’s pigeons have probably
gone to roost.
Rome will imitate Atlanta once
too often if she doesn’t watch
out!
The daily papers keep us well
posted abut the storms that never
come.
Now let McCook introduce a bill
making “ground hog day” a legal
holiday.
The Atlanta Journal’s Masonic
edition was a splendid issue of that
enterprising paper.
Oh, Prosperity ! What liars are
those who have promised so much
in thy name.
The income of the Southern rail
road, from all sources, is more than
$50,000 a day.
The cold wave is coming, but the
Isoal wave, like the wave of pros
perity is “out of sight.”

The Constitution says that Sen
ator Shropshire is a man well pos

The Dalton Citizen is one of the
best papers tvpograpicaliy and
otherwise, in north Georgia.
To the democrats who voted for
McKinley: Honest now, how do
you like the brand of prosperity
Mac is dealing out?
The cotton fields in Chattooga
are still white with the harvest
and the yield will be very much
larger than was at first expected.
The case of Mrs. Nobles will be
argued before the United States
supreme court in Washington on
the second Monday in Novem
ber.
The Summerville News is on
the Advertiser’s exchange table.
It is a bright paper. Editor Cain
is putting some excellent work on
its columns—Madison Advertiser
The Waycross journal issued a
beautiful anniversary edition last
week in honor of the Fair being
held at Waycross. The paper and
the fair are both fine evidence of
south Georgia prosperity and will
doubtless get the liberal patronage
they deserve.
The Hardeman Free Press is au-
for the statement that
gorgeous. Striped gar

In this issue we give the message
of Gov. Atkinson in ful 1 , and as us
ual with all documents coming
from Georgia’s chief executive, it
is strong and aggressive, and takes
advanced ground on the problems
that most vitally concern the wel
fare of Georgians. Gov. Atkinson
is now, as heretofore, very strongly
opposed to lynch law and in this
all law abiding people will agree
with film, but his suggestion that
the citizens'of a county be made to
pay damages to the heirs of a rap
ist, when he is lynched, in a sum
net less than SI,OOO is putting it
rather strong. The better class ot
negroes do not com mitt that sort
of crime. It is only the vilest and
most degraded of their race who
thus yield to their worse than brut
ish instincts, and the proposition
that the white people, who in the
main pay the taxes, and who fur
nish 80 per cent of the money that
goes to educate the negroes, should
be assessed a fine of SI,OOO for the
worthless life of a brute who out
rages and perhaps murders a white
woman, is carrying matters rather
too far on that line.
It is now’ said that a bill will be
introduced in the General Assem
bly making the office of State li
brarian elective by that body. It
is within Gov. Atkinson’s power to
mike the appointment before the
the legislature can act on the bill,
but it is not thought probable that
he will do so while such a measure
is pending. This is a new and
rather sensational turn in the fight
for the librarian’s place.
The Rome Tribune’s Souvenir
Trade edition issued last Sunday
was a splendid evidence of the up
to date piogressiveness of that pa
per. It was a complete directory
of all business and public enter
prises in Rome and several neigh
boring towns as w’ell. It was got
ten up in excellent style typograph
ically, and was profusely illustrat
ed with fine half-tone engravings
of people and places.
Miss Edna Cain says: “It seems
to me however, that we will be wan
dering after a strange goddess, when
we go to the State University Min
erva.” Lets see, Minerva the god
dess of chastity and wisdom, sure
ly such homage should not be
st range to our Georgia girls.—Rome
Georgian.
The esteemed Georgian is remin
ded that “the State University Min
erva” may differ in some essentials
from her mythological prototype.
Last Saturday Mrs. Mosely’s
Rome Georgian was profusely il
lustrated and much more interest
ing than usual because there was
twice as much of it. This issue is
a special edition in honor of the
convention of the State Federation
of Woman’s clubs in Rome this
week and is quite worthy of the
occasion.
Representative Longley, of Whit
field county, will introduce a bill
to repeal the act of the last ses

He will try to have it reduced to

at his father’s gin in Texas Valley.

morning, when death relieved his suf
ferings. The body was interred at Ar

In Feeble Health
Unable to do Her Work - Nervous
and Tired-All These Troubles
Cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla.
“ For the past four years I have been in
feeble health, and for two years past,
owing to change of climate, I have not
been able to do my work. I was nervous
and had a tired feeling and was under the
treatment of physicians, but I continually
grew worse. My husband insisted on my
trying Hood's Sarsaparilla and I finally
consented, and began taking it the first of
June, 1896. The first bottle did me so
much good that I continued with it, and
after taking four bottles and one bottle of
Hood’s Pills I am able to do my work,
and the tired, nervous feeling is entirely
cured.” MRS. G. N. Hosea, Suwanee, Ga.

JOHN HATTOX
Ordinary.
Our Collector.
mt. D. m. White, the well known
Constitution agent, is authorized
to coll?ct subscription accounts
due the News, and we hope our
subscribers will be prepared when
he calls on them. Mr. White has
had considerable experience in this
line of business and knows how to
treat every one kindly and politely,
and any courtesies shown him in
his capacity as agent for the News
will be highly appreciated by the
p üblisher.
In 1 his connection it may not
be out of place to remind our
friends of one very important mat
ter. Many people are inclined to
be offended when an agent asks
them for the small sum of two or
three dollars. Now just suppose
five hundred subscribers owe one
dollar each, and every one of them
neglects to pay because the account
is a small one; don’t you see the
situation you place the editor in?
These little accounts are small in
themselves, but several hundred
of them make quite a comfortable
sum. Do you see the point?
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, an that is by consti
tutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustach
ian Tube. When this is inflam
ed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the re
sult, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed Jforever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.
