It is one of the anomalies of
the situation that Secretary of
State John Sherman, finds time
to attend a meeting of the stock
holders of a railway company in
New York, while the Adminis
tration wrestles with the ques
tion of war or peace.

The Macon Telegraph in ex
plaining away the charges that
a secret conference was held be
tween Messers. Atkinson and
Berner in the Telegraph office,
seeks to throw out the impres
sion that the meeting was a lit
tle before dark. The Constitu
tion struck “ile” th it time and
Messrs. Berner and Atkinson
really held a significant consul
tation. Their “desultory con
vention” must have meant some
thing. —Fort Valley Leader.

The exposure of the Atkinson-
Berner secret confab at Macon,

“Spanish honor” is a myth,

If by the Ist of November
Cuba is not free—free of every
Spaniard who now treads the
soil of Antilles —free to set up a
government of its own—free to
bind up its wounds and to care
for its stricken ones—fiee as w<
are ourselves to the enjoy men'
of life, liberty and happiness—
the punishment which is now
held in suspension for the Span
iard will descend upon the head
of the administration, and of ev
ery public man who supports its
timorous, heartless and time
serving policy.

A Tennessee bant official says
that nearly all the German (ai
mers in the mountains have de
posits iu his institution rangir g
from a small amount to several
thousand dollars. On an aver
age of cnce in two years each
depositor draws his (money out
and returns with it within a
week or ten days. The object of
this peculiar transaction is that
the farmer may take his money
home and show it to his family
as an evidence that he has it.

Medical circles in Berlin are
much agitated over a statement
made by a prominent physician
of that city to the effect that the
nuises iu the private
hospitals are in league with
the undertakers, who distribute
among them circulars altering

uity for a good job- It is said
that this combination has been
in force for half a century, and
that it exists iu many of the
large towns of Germany.

THE DANGER
to which the Expectant Mother is
exposed and the foreboding and
dread with which she looks for
ward to the hour of woman s
severest trial is appreciated by but
few. All effort should be made
to smooth these rugged places
in life’s pathway for her, ere she
presses to her bosom her babe
MOTHER’S FRIEND
allays Nervousness, and so assists
Nature that the change goes for
ward in an easy manner, without
such violent protest in the way ot
Nausea, Headache, Etc. Gloomy
forebodings yield to cheerful and
hopeful anticipations —she passes
through the ordeal quickly anc
without pain—is left strong and
vigorous and enabled to joyously
perform the high and holy duties
now devolved apor her. Safety
to life of both is assured by the
use of “Mother’s Friend,” and
the time of recovery shortened.
“I know one lady, the mother of three
children, who suffered greatly in the
birth of each, who obtained a bottle of
‘Mother’s Friend’ of me before her
fourth confinement, and was relieved
quickly and easily. All agree that their
labor was shorter and less painful.'

This is an industrial rather than a Mining Company. We h av ,

in the frozen ground of the Klondike and the Northwest, where wa
take our machines and extract the gold from the claims of others
just as thrashing m chines aie taken into the wheal country to
h,e>h out the farmer's wheat. One of our machines does the work
of over 1,000 men each day and we save the 40% of gold that is
ly lost by other methods, so it can readily seen what enormous
profits we will earn in the fabulously rich gold mines of the Klondike
and the Northwest, with which every one must be acquainted.
Every prospector th re is our prospector, for he must eventually
come to us to have his claim worked. Therefore we believe we
