CARTERSVILLE FLOUR MILL
It Will Have a Daily Capacity of
450 Bushels of Wheat.
Cartersville, Ga., April 25.
Cartersville is s >on to have a big
flouring mill. Representatives of
machinery houses are here today
in consultation with the promoters
of the new enterprise, i’hose in
terested are John P. Lewis, of Cave,
Ga., who has had twenty-five years’
experience in the milling business;
James W. Vaughn, one of the lead
ing dry goods merchants here, and
James W. Knight, one of the solid
men of the county, a hardware
merchant.
The capacity of the mill will be
one hundred barrels a day and will
consume four hundred and fifty
bushels of wheat a day. It is es
timated that 135,000 bushels of
wheat will be used every year which
at 70 cents a bushel on the average
will put into circulation among
farmers of Bartow $94,500 a year.
A lot has been purchased and work
will begin as soon as the promoters
can agree on the suitable machin
ery.
Quaint Sayings.
It is interesting and instructive
to read bright and well construct
ed advertisments. Messrs C. I.
Hood & Co., of Sarsaparilla fame,
must have been at a great feast and
taken everything home with them.
They are using a bright selection
of quaint old sayings and proverbs
as the starters in a series of clever
advertisements, wherein the pro
verbs are neatly turned and para
phrased to fit the subject matter.
The public like this breezy adver
tising, as it reminds of other pro
verbs and opens up discussion.
Little James found it very diffi
cult to commit to memory the
Golden Text of his next Sunday’s
lesson, and so he was sent up stairs
to the solitude of his own room,
where he could apply hie mind to
his subject without interruption.
After diligent application for
about ten minutes, he came down
beaming. “Mamma, I know the
golden text now,” he exclaimed.
“I am very glad,” replied mam
ma. “Let me hear you repeat it.”
“The Lord loveth a cheerful sin
ner.” —Harper’s Bazar.
J. D. Bridge, editor and proprie
tor of the Democrat, Lancaster, N.
H., says: “I would not be without
One Minute Cough Cure for my
boy, when troubled with a cough
or cold. It is the best remedy for
croup I ever used.” Arrington

A Georgia preacher offended the
feminine part of his congregation
the other Sunday by getting off
this original remark : “God made
the earth in six days, and then
he rested; then he made man, and
rested again; then he made wo
man, and since that time neither
God nor man has had a rest.”

You cannot accomplish any
work or business unless you feel

If you have piles, cure them. No

the disease without disturbing the

EMBARRASSED.
The Doctor Who “Wasn’t at
Home” When Summoned.
A very amusing story is current
in London just at present concern
ing one of the most fashionable
doctors, one, indeed, who has a
very large practice. It seems that
he has a telephone in his bedroom.
The other night when the weather
was particularly stormy and the
eminent physician and his wife
were both fast asleep the tele
phone suddenly rang and over the
wire came the message: “Please
come around at once to Berkely
Square; Lady B— is very ill.”
The physician uttered an ejacu
lation which was distinctly unpar
liamentary, and handing the trans
mitter to his wife, said: “Say I am
out of town,” which, like an obe
dient wife, she immediately pro
ceeded to do.
The following afternoon the phy
sician called at Lady B—’s house,
and meeting her husband, exclaim
ed: “So sorry I was not at home
when you rang me up last night.”
“But you really were at home?”
inquired Lord B—.
“Os course not,” replied the phy
sician, with a most unblushing ef
frontery.
“Then, my dear doctor,” spoke
Lord B —, who is a bit of a wag, in
the most earnest and sympathetic
manner, “I must sympathize with
you in your terrible misfortune.
For I distinctly heard a man’s
voice in your bedroom talking to
your wife.’’
The face of the physician is sta
ted to have defied description, all
the more as Lord B— hurried off
the moment he had said this witb
outgiving him time to utter a word
in reply.—Washington Post.

DESTRUCTIVE EXPLOSION.
Considerable Damage Done and
Several People Hurt.
Philadelphia, April 25. —By an
explosion of benzine in Fleers
Chemical works, at 24th and Cal
low streets, today, two women were
killed, two others are unaccounted
for, and one woman was badly in
jured. A score of persons were more
or less injured. The factory is a
total wreck and buildings for a
distance of half & square are par
tially demolished. In some in
stances the windows in structures
two squares away were shattered.
So far as can bo learned there
| were but six men in the chemical
j works when the catastrophe oc
curred. One of these was blown
high in the air and his body struck
the ground 25 yards from the mill.
The other was burned almst to a
| crisp.
Two boarders are said to have
been asleep in the upper part of
I the adjoining house and they have
not yet been accounted for. Mrs.
Donohue was so badly injured that
i her death is expected.
On the opposite side of the street
I was the dwelling of Mrs. Giverson.
I The burning benzine ignited the
clothing of Mrs. Giverson and that
of her child. With her infant in
I her arms she ran screaming into
the street, enveloped in flames.
She was conveyed t<> a hospital.
I It is impossible at this time to
; estimate the loss. Fully a hun
dred houses are more or less dam
aged. The names of the dead are
! not known.

■censurable than by refusal to cure
yourself of Female Troubles with

266 RATS KILLED.
The Champion Rat Story of the
Season From Van’s Valley.
Here is the champion rat story
of Georgia.
W. J. Walker, of Van’s Valley,
on last Monday called in the hands
to move the corn out of the crib.
In doing this many rats were found.
In all 266 rats were killed. They
were picked up in bushel meas
ures and weighed 62 pounds to the
bushel.
Editor’s Heaven.
Au editor who died of starva
tion was being escorted to heaven
by an angel who had been sentout
for that purpose, says the Findlay
(Ohio) Courier. “May I look at
the other place before we ascend
to eternal happiness?” “Easily,”
said the angel. So they went be
low and skirmished around, taking
in the sights. The angel lost track
of the editor and went around ha
des to hunt him. He found him
sitting by a furnace fanning him
self and gazing with rapture upon
a lot of people in the fire. There
was a sign on the furnace which
said: “Delinquent Subscribers.”
“Come,” said the angel, “we must
be going.” “You go on,” said the
editor, “I’m not coming. This is
heaven enough for me.”
A considerate man will tolerate
the right of another to hold wrong
views.

Officer of the Day Attempts to
Restore Order and Shoots
One.
Augusta, Ga., April 26.—While
several intoxicated soldiers of the
Second Illinois regiment wore at
tempting to set fire to some small
wooden sheds about midnight last
night, a fight occurred when Lieu
tenant John Mayeski, as officer of
the day, tried to disperse them .
The so’diers resisted Mayeski
and started to grapple with him.
Mayeski thinking his life in dan
ger drew his revolver and fired.
Private James L. Gilliland, whose
home is in Ripley, 0., fell with a
a bullet in his left breast, lie did
not have a hand in the light and
was trying to put out the blaze
when shot. The shooting brought
out Colonel Moulton and other of
ficers who soon restored order.
A full investigation will bo made
of the affair.
The Second Illinois regiment
was mustered out today.
Mrs. L. R. Wooten, Quitman, Ga.,
writes: “Have used Dr. M. A.
