JI.OO Per Year Im Advance.
J. W. CAIN.
Editor and Proprietor.
Summerville, Ga., May 17, 1899.
. Entered at Summerville poatoffice an
second class matter.
Rome was full—of visitors last
week.
It is more blessed, or at least
easier, to give advice than to re
ceive it.
The Cubans want fire arms.
Naturally; but they might be
given dynamite to play with, if
they want it.
It is said that Emperor William,
of Germany, regards “Hoch, der
Kaiser” as rather above the aver
age of spring poems.
It is claimed that the new"C<>L
ton mill at Chattanooga which will
be built soon will be the only mill
in the south spinning fine yarns.

The Waycrossj Herald utters
words of philosophy when it says
that “the mongrel is often the
most intelligent, but is is ths pure
blooded dog that gets the prize.”
Now that Col. Funston, of Kan
sas, has made such a reputation as
a fighter in the Phillipine war, it
would be interesting to know
whether or not he is a Populist.
Hon. J. J. C. Black’s speech on
the occason of the unveiling of the
Georgia monument at Chickamau
ga was a masterpiece of eloquence.
It impressed the audience deeply
and made for the eloquent Geor
gian hosts of new friends.
Governor Candler told the whole
story in his reply to a telegram
from the New York World asking
him how to stop lynching in the
south. He bluntly said that “the
only way to stop lyching in the
south is to stop raping."
We laugh and jeer at a woman’s
foibles, weaknesses and vanities on
the one hand, and wonder at her
sublime faith, her courage and un
dying devotion on the other. All
in all, how would the world get
along without her.
Gen. Joe Wheeler was the hero
of the day at the Charleston re
union although wearing the blue
uniform of the United States reg
ulars. In the language of the im
mortal Burns:
“No matter the coat he wears
A man’s a man for a’ that.”
The strawberry crop in this section
is one of the largest ever known. A
great part of the crop will be lost be
cause we have so few canning estab
lishments. This is only a small part
of the loss Georgia will sustain this
year for the same, reason. In the
meantime wo continue to buy canned
goods from almost every state whose
pcwple are enterprising enough to
make the most of their fruits and veg
etables.—Atlanta Journal.
It is proposed to establish a negro
colony of 1,000 families on Long
Island, which it is asserted will change
the political complexion of that county.
Tbs colonists are Io be obtained in
Georgia and South Carolina. Factor
ies are to be established to provi ie
work and prominent politicians are to
furnish the money. The colony is to
be operated on the bull pea order, and
no Democratic heelers are to be allow
ed ins'de the colony limits after nignt
fall. Brilliant idea, ihis is.
Gov. Candler made a great mis
take when he said in his speech at
Chickamauga on the occasion of
the dedication of the Georgia mon
ument, that Georgians honored the
name of William Tecumseh Sher
man. Not until the record of Sher
man's “March to the sea” shall
have faded from history, utterly
and forever, will the Confederate
veterans and their descendents
c >ase to execrate the name of the
man, who with the heart of a thug
and vandal, did all in his power to j
make war what he so graphically!
described it to be. No: Georgians
do not honor the name of Sher
man, and they never will. |
A NEW JAIL
Will Be Built In Summerville
This Year.
For some time past the Board
of Commissioners of Roads and
Revenue have had under consider
ation the matter ot building a new
jail, and have at last reached a
definite conclusion.
The Beard will advertise soon
for plane and specifications for a
modern and up to date jail, one
that will not only meet present
needs, but that wiH be sufficient
in capacity to answer any emer
gency for a hundred years to come.
The plan seems to be to put up
a structure that will at once be
safe and secure and that can be
kept clean and in good sanitary
condition.
The present jail building is an
eyesore to all those who have ex
amined the interior. It is impos
sible to keep it clean, however
careful the jailor may be; and it
is almost constantly in need of re
pairs.
While Chattooga county needs
a jail as little as any county in
north Goergia, yet it is necessary
t<> have one, and it is but a matter
of humanity and sound business
judgment to build one that is up
to date, and one that will meet the
demands of security and health
fulness for the inmates.
The contract will be let some
time the present summer and the
building will be completed before
cold weather.

The prices for strawberries has
been so low the past week that
many growers have quit shipping.
In some sections the berries are
being sold in the fields to the pick
ers at sor 6 cents per quart. The
situation is very disheartening, as
in the early spring the growers
were confident of a big yield and
a good price, and they have got
neither.
The fleas and the fish are biting
and the little boys are kept be
tween a hustle and a run.
Danger
Signals!
Do you take cold with
every change In the
weather? Does your throat
feel raw ? And do sharp
pains dart through your
chest ?
Don't you know these are
danger signals which point
to pneumonia, bronchitis, or
consumption itself?
If you are ailing and have
lost flesh lately, they are
certainly danger signals. The
question for you to decide is,
••Have I the vitality to throw
off these diseases?"
Don’t wait to try SCOTT’S
EMULSION “as a last re
sort.” There is no remedy
equal to it for fortifying the
system. Prevention is easy.
Scott’s
Emulsion
prevents consumption and
hosts of other diseases which
attack the weak and those
with poor blood.
SCOTT’S EMULSION is
the one standard remedy for
inflamed throats and lungs,
for colds, bronchitis and con
sumption. It is a food medi
cine of remarkable power. A
food, because it nourishes the
body ; and a medicine, be
cause it corrects diseased
conditions.

SUMMERVILLE, GEORGIA.
A Beautiful Wedding.
On last Wednesday evening, May
the tenth, ihe Baptist church was
crowded to its utmost capacity, the
occasion being the happy marriage of
Miss Ellen Pitts, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Pitts, of Summerville, and
Bev. Wm. Stokes Walker, of Monroe,
Ga.
All that willing hands and loving
hearts could do, was done, and the lit
tle church, so dear to the heart of Miss
Pitts, presented a most beautiful pic
ture to the many, many friends who
had assembled there for the purpose
of witnessing this most interesting
ceremony.
Notwithstanding the great crowd
and the small church, so skillfully did
the ushers manage, that there was no
confusion, and nearly all of the con
gregation were comfortably seated.
The decorations were beautiful in
deed. The entire wall at Ihe rear of
the pulpit seemed to be covered by a
luxuriant growth of graceful flswering
vines, while, just in front, was out
lined a dainty pavilion in the midst of
which was placed an immense arch—
a veritable bank of whits dowers—
from the center of which was suspend
ed by loops and bows of white ribbon,
an exquisite design—a ‘‘true lover’s
knot,” in white La France roses and
smiUx,than which nothing could have
been more dainty and artistic. The
decorations extended as far out as the
first row of pews, and the stray ends
of the garlands of evergreens were
finished off with huge shower-boquets
of bright red roses. On either side of
rostrum were placed tables or stands of
flowers, and the church having been
darkened, handsome lamps, with pret
ty bright shades, together with quanti
ties of white wax tapers, cast a lovely
mellow light upon the scene, and the
result was—a glimpse of fairy-land.
Promptly at the appointed hour, the
arrival of the bridal patty was heralded
by the sweet strains of the favorite
song. “Oh, Promise Me,” and Mrs. C.
L. Odell, whose bird-like notes always
delight the ear, seemed to sing with
unusual sweetness upon this occasion.
At the conclusion of this solo, Men
delssohn's Wedding March pealed
forth, and all eyes were turned toward
the door, through which, first came
the ushers. Messrs. Clifford Walker,
of Monroe. Ga.. and C. C. Cleghorn,
Summerville. These were followed by
the two other ushers, Messrs. John
Cotton Novelties.

Ferguson, Chattanooga, and Geo. D.
Espy, of Summerville. The ushers
having taken their places on cither
side of the pavilion, the pastor, Rev.
J. G. Hunt, entered and took his po
sition just behind the arch. Then
came the maids of honor: Miss Jose
phine Pitts in a most exquisite gown
of pink organdie, carrying a quantity
of bride’s maid roses, pink ribbons,
was, indeed a beautiful reminder of
spring. Then entered Miss Drucilla
Pitts, lovely, in a not-to-be-forgotten
forget-me-not gown of sheerest organ
die. She carried an arm full of blue
heiitrope and maiden-hair fern, blue
ribbons. Following Miss Druci'la,
came Miss Annie Pitts, attirsd in pur
est white organdie, carrying white La
France roses. Never did Miss Annie
appear more beautiful, and het cos
tume being pure white, was particu
larly becoming. These ladies all wore
hats to match their costumes.
Then came the bride and groom,
and a most handsome,' happy couple
they were. The bride wore a lovely
gown of gray, trimmed in violet silk,
having a Frenchy touch of black in
the trimmings. She wore an effective
hat of gray and violet, and the costume
was complete, handsome and becom
ing. White La France roses formed
her boquet. As the bridal couple took
their position beneath the floral de
sign, the minister began, at once, to
pronounce the words which were to
make them oue—uniting their hearts
and lives in a most solemn, impiessire
manner. During the ceremony, the
low, sweets strains of “Call Me Thine
Own,’’ could faintly be heard, and not
until the newly wedded pair kneeled
in prayer, did the music cease.
The ceremony over, the benediction
pronounced, the joyous strains of the
wedding march again began, and the
bridal party left the church and repair
ed at once to the depot, followed by a
host of friends. Mr. and Mrs. Walker
left immediately for Louisville, to be
in attendance upon the Southern Bap
tist convention now in session at that
place.
Mrs. Walker, as Miss Ellen Pitts,
has for several years, been a most
faithful worker in her Master’s vine
yard, and by her earnest, consecrated j (
life, and her eagerness to serve her j 1
Maker, has done much for His cause ! '
and our peopl■ all through his section j

ble a bride, and wish for them both, all

On Tuesday evening, Mr. and Mrs.
Pitts entertained those of the bridal
party who had arrived, very delight
fully at tea. These guests were as fol
lows: Misses Pitts and Ledbetter, of
Rome, Rev. Win. Stokes Walker and
Mr Clifford Walker, Monroe; Rev. J.
O. Hunt, and Messrs Geo. D. Espy and
C. C. Cleghorn, Jr.
