Prof. Whatley, of the State Geolog

to examine the talc mines of Capt. W.
L. Lampkin, in Murray county. The

most flattering one. Several promi
nent capitalists are considering the
value of the property, and the exten
sive working of its minerals at Dalton,
by a large stock company. In addi
tion to the talc is also a fine showing
of asbestos and graphite. Dalton cap
italists should interest themselves in
the development of this valuable prop
erty.

painstaking educator. He has intro
duced a post-graduate course, in which
graduating young ladies can pursue
their studies in English Literature,
higher mathematics, the languages,

“From Annie Headen to Lewie Big
ham.”
It is a pretty, graceful messenger
from your city of beautiful homes and
hills and groves and schools and
churches to Dalton. May the two
cities abound in the sweet tender*
things of life as in culture and enter
prise.

Lulaton, Ga.
Dar Sir—This is to certify that I
was a sufferer with a place on my un
derlip for fourteen years and was un
treatment of different physicians, but
they done me no good. I had lost
hope of being cured by medical treat
ment. I then went to a doctor living
in Florida, who treated them by art.
After going to him it got well, appar
ently,for a while,but returned as bad as
ever. I then concluded to try P. P. P.
(Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potassium
and after taking five bottles (pint size)
was cured. I also find it to be a good
medicine to give proper digestion.
Yours truly, L. J. Strickland.
In Memoriam.
Departed this life on the 26th. of
June 1890, Miss Bettie Walker, (laugh
er, of Judge I). A. Walker. Like an
untimely frost upon the sweetest,
flower of the field,” death has seized
upon our friend and holds her in his
icy clasp. That voice so tender, that
heart so pure, and beaming with so
much love and hope, have fill vanished
—all are still in death. She who was
the idol of the house-hold, and the gen
tle, loving companion has left that
home in mourning.
The patient nursing of attending
friends, the anxious care of the most
affectionate Aunt, nor the kind physi
cians skill would avail.
Her disease was extremely acute
yet under the severest paroxyms of
that fierce disease, a murmuring word
was not heard to drop from her lips.
By affectionate looks, she appeared to
bid farewell to dear relatives, and sym
pathizing friends that waited around.
Then in a very few moments she
fell asleep in Jesus. Our Savior “who
bids his children to come unto Him”
claimed her. And to those who for
her loss, are grieved, we have the con
solation to know that she blooms a
rose in Heaven, in that
“Land of pure delight.
Where saints immortal reign .”
How comforting the thought that
“Tnare anchored safe her sweet soul,
Has found eternal rest
No storms shall beat nor billows roll
Ac oss her peaceful breast.”
O let those who know her worth live
as she, also that they may die as she
died, and again rejoin their departed
loved ones, in mansions of everlasting
rest.
May Our Heavenly Father comport
the bereaved and sanctify this afflicting
dispensation of His Providence to the
good of all. Callie J. Echols.

Medical Enthusiasm.
Some physicians, noticing the excel
lent tonics antiperiodic and antipyre
nroperties of Smith’s Tonic Syrup,
have endeavr red to ascertain its com
position. Os course the proprietors of
this valuable remedy would wrong
themselves if they made the secret of
their cure public property. Why
should its composition be considered so
long as it proves an effectual remedy
and as easily obtainable of druggist as
is quinine. Many people who buy and
use quinine don’t know it is made
from Peruvian bark. They don’t
care to know. They know it nearly
always cures cure the chills and fever,
and that is all they want it for. So
too, the people know that Smith Ton
ic Syrup is better than quinine.
They know It cure chills and fever
when quinine fails. They know also
that Smith’s Tonic Syrup will break
up a cold or an attack of influenza, la
grippe, etc., quicker than any other
drug. They know also that it is pleas
ant to take and never leaves any nn- i
pleasant after effect. They know also
that it can be used as a substitute for
quinine and always with more satis
factory results.
