“I slept and dreamed that life was beauty,
I woke and found thut life was duty.”
No man’s spirit was over hurt by
doing his duty. Like the hero of
old his determination should be “to
dare nobly, to will strongly and to
never falter in the path of duty.”
How little it cost, if we but give it a
thought, to make happy some heart
each day. But, see here, some one
will be saying, if we don’t mind,
“Better practice what you preach."

say let all marry. Life has it trials,

Robbed the Grave.
A startling incident of which Mr.
John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was
the subject, is narrated by him as

pain continually in the back and
sides, no appetite—gradually Three grow¬ phy¬

sicians had given me up. Fortu¬
nately, a friend advised trying ‘Elec¬
tric Bitters’, and to my great joy
and surprise, the first bottle made a
decided improvement. I continued
their use for three weeks, and am
now a well man. I know they saved
my life and robbed the grave of an¬
other victim.” No one should fail
to try them. Only 50 cents per bot¬
tle at W. E. Saunders’ drug store. 6

Our baby has been continually
troubled with colic and cholera

we could do for him did not seem to
give more than temporary relief,

Since giving that remedy he has not
been troubled. We want to give you
this testimonial as an evidence of
our gratitude, not that you need it to
advertise your meritorious remedy.

Claiming Everything.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
Colonel J. R. Hogan, the Populist
candidate for governor, gave the
keynote of his campaign in his
Douglasvillo speech. Ho appeared
in the attitude of the great political
party claimant, and managed to
show in a very few words that tho
Populist candidates who are run¬
ning for office have but one excuse
for the position they occupy. They
do not expect, to lie elected ; they
are running simply to keep up an
opposition to tho Democratic party,
to “keep it in check,” to make Dem¬
ocrats “toe the mark.”
It has hitherto been supposed that
the people themselves have been
able to keep all parties in check and
to make them too the mark by
withholding opproval of their course
at. the ballot box, or by conferring
on them tho honor of succoss. But
this seems to be no longer the case.
The Populist candidates give the
people no credit whatever for any¬
thing of that sort, and withhold
from them even the credit of ac¬
complishing the recent ]>oliticul re¬
forms that have taken place in Geor¬
gia.
And this is the keynote of Candi¬
date Hogan’s campaign. He de¬
clared at Douglasville that the Pop¬
ulists had forced the Democrats to
take away from the legislature and
place in the hands of the people the
election of supreme court justices
and superior court judges. He also
said that the Populists had forced
the Democrats to collect interest on
the State’s money deposited in the
banks.
In short, during the past dozen
years everything that has been
done, every reform that has been
carried out has been forced on the
Democrats Ijy the Populists. The
people, as the phase goes, have not
been in it, and they are not. in it
now. And, in fact, the legislature
has not been controlled by the Dem¬
ocrats at all, in spite of the fact
that they have had an overwhelm¬
ing majority in that body ever since
1870. No, sirs! the real operators,
engineers, steerers and manipulators
of reform are the Populists. Their
representation in the general assem¬
bly has sometimes amounted to ns
much as one-eighth of that body,
but this one-eightli has had such a
mighty influence that it is responsi
ble for everything that has been
done in the way of reformatory or
progressive legislation. Yes, sirs!
when the Populists cracked their
whips in the legislature the Demo
crats had to come to time and toe
the mark.
All this would be highly ridiculous
if it did not represent the Last resort
and refuge of candidats who repre¬
sent no State policy whatever, and
who are trying in vain to hold their
party together.
Meanwhile, tho Democrats of
Georgia have not only instituted
political reforms in this State, but
those reforms are of the very essence
and nature of Democracy. Tho poo
plo of Georgia not only elect their
own judges, but tho Democratic
voters nominate their own candi¬
dates for governor and State house
officers free from the influence of
political manipulators .and wire-pull¬
ers. If the Populists are responsi¬
ble for one of these reforms, they
are responsible for all; and it is a
wonder Candidate Hogan did not ex¬
plain how it is that, while the Dem¬
ocrats nominate their candidates
for governor by ballot, the Populists
depend on the old, discarded ma¬
chine methods for the nomination
of theirs.
Well, the Populist candidates can’t
fool the people this year. The Pop¬
ulist voters will support Gaudier.

From the Albany Herald, 16th.
The Second District Republican
Congressional convention met in the
court houso in this city yostorday
afternoon and nominated a candi¬
date for Congress. The man nomi¬
nated is a negao Methodist preacher
at Bainbridgo, and he made a speech
accepting the nomination and pledg¬
ing himself to make a canvass of the
district and bear aloft, the banner of
the g. o. p.
All the counties of the district
were represented excepting Worth
and Thomas, and there was only
one lonesome white man in tho
whole number, Capt. O'Donnell,
postmaster at Bain bridge.
Prof, J. L. Roddick, of Shellman,
chairman of the District Executive
Committee, culled the meeting to
order and presided over its delibera¬
tions. J. C. Dixon, of Dawson,
served as secretary.

REMARKABLE RESCUE.
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,
Ill., makes the statement, that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for a month
by her family physician, but hope¬ grew
worse. He told her she was a
less victim of consumption and that,
no medicine could cure her. Her
druggist suggested Dr. King’s New
Discovery for Consumption; she
bought a bottle and to her delight
found herself benefited from first
dose. She continued its use and af¬
ter taking six bottles, found herself
sound and well; now does her own
housework, and is as well as she
ever was. Free trial bottles of this

A minister annoyed by tobacco
chewers thus sjtoke to his congrega¬
tion : “Take your quid of tobacco
out on entering the house of God,
and gently lay it on the outer edge
of the sidewalk or fence. It will
probably be there when you come
out, for a rat will not take it, a dog
will not take it, neither will a hog,
and you are certain of your quid
when you go out after it. Not the
filthiest vermin on earth would
touch it. It would even kill fleas
on a dog.”

fashioned, greasy salves and lini

A white man told an Indian that
feathers were soft. The Indian put
a feather on a hoard and undertook
to get a soft nap. He made several
unsuccessful attempts while the
feather got harder. He arose and
said, “White man heap d—u fool.”
He used only one feather, mind you.
This is about the same way with
using one ad. Try a lot of them,
and you’ll have many sott naps at
night from (Lays of well enjoyed

Did you get a sample of Dr. Tich¬
enor’s Antiseptic? If so, don’t
throw it away—it’s too good to he

or have colic. It will do its busi¬
ness quick.
Great arc tho wonders of the tele¬
phone. A physician reports tliat he
was saved a two mile ride through a

He diagnosed false croup, prescribed
therefor, and turned in for an undis¬
turbed sleep during the remainder
of the night. He found the patient
in the morning doing nicely—under
