Shockley, who murdered Bishop in Atlanta a few weeks ago, has been adjudged insane J and will be sent to Milledge ville. Naval exports put down the active life of a modern battleehip at about fifteen years, provided the ship dees not belong to Spain while a war is on with the United States.

Wtfl BAHMfB MBv A button cut from the eoat worn by Gen Shafter during the Santiago campaign was recently rattled off at a charity bazaar held at Wichita, Kan., and 250 chances were sold at five cents each. By a curious coincidence the button was won by Mias Marjorie Knorr, the girl who had solicited Gen. Shafter to tend it to the bazaar. After the shaking of the bones the baton naturally returned to its Knorr mal condition. Obituary notices seldom touch on the shortcomings of deceased person®, and for this reason the item from The Pleasanton (Kan ) Ob s erver of which the following is an extract is rather unique: “His greatest fault was th* extravagant use of profanity.

He no doubt often swore unconscious ly-” From the expression of the “mug” in the Constitution, there is grounds for the opinion that an egg has been broken in the lace of “ ? he Gentleman from v\.ll » —there appearing the “shell” a:.d the* 4 white”—which ought to “settle it.” The common council of Bos ton unanimously voted on Thursday evening last to pay all city laborers $2.25 per day in the future.

McKinley is going to be there—the man who hogged the Spaniards out of the Philippine Islands.—Marietta Journal. —I I And now it is the Duchess of. Marlborough, an American girl, who has been selected to christen the new English battleship, Ir resistable. That’s a very pretty name for a battleship christened by an American girl.—Nashville Banner. Having licked Spain, many brave Americaus had about ex panded their courage to the point where they were willing to risk a battle between our army and the -Cubans—though the president’s message make* that an impossibility now. “Two-Boois- Staciing-Together has been deposed as chief of the Tuscarora Indians in Northern New York because he has declared himself in favor of woman’s right's Previous to thia decbtralion he had been respected and loooked up to by the warriors of hi* tribe, much trouble tito the world.” d Bolingbroke, much more in going out of it, that it is hardly worth while to be here at all.” If a man and a p h ilosopher comes to this conclusion, hat must be the itural conclusion f the thousands f suffering who undergo untoHrt torture in bring-, fng their babes into the world? Philosophy of this k .id is based upon gross ignorance. The fi..-' is. that there is no necessity for the st vet e pangs under gone by the average W' man. If a woman is strong and healthy in a womanly way, motherhood means to her but little suffer ing. The trouble lies in the fact that the majority of women suffer from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine or ganism and are unfitted for motherhood. This can always be remedied. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a sure, speedy and Sermanent cure for all disorders qf this escription. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned, making them healthy, strong, vigorous, virile and elastic. It banishes the indispositions of the period of expectancy and makes baby’s advent easy and almost painless. It quick ens and vitalizes the feminine organs, and insures a healthy and robust baby. Thou sands of women have testified to its mar velous merits. Honest druggists do not offer substitutes, and urge them upon you as “just as good.” "I suffered fourteen years," writes Mrs. Mary J. Stewart, of Box 46, Saratoga, Santa Clara Co., pal., with female weakness, nervous ness and general debility. I tried everything to no avail. Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery’ cured me."

Simnly because every nerve, muacle and ti*sue in our bodies is created and nourished from the food we eat.

The remedy to use for indigna tion and weak stomach* is not l*i>nie cathartic, but a remedy which will digest the food, in< crease the flow of gastric juice, absorb the gases, and S'uart* Dy* papsia Tablets will accomplish •xactly this result in any case of stomach troub e, because these i ablets ate composed of th* diges tive acids, aseptic -pepsin.

Floyd is nuw the only c*unty in the state, north of Atlanta, that is building good roads with convict labor—the truth is Floyd is the only county in the state building all macadam pikes.
