THE POWER OF PAYING “NO.”
Somebody has said that to give
a young man the power to say
“No’’ is a grander gift than giving
him a thousand pounds. There is
a large family of the Pliables in ;
existance folks born without 1
backbones. I like youth who can |
look one in the face, and if a thing
is a lie, say so and if it is true,
hold to it through all the world is
against him. You will get such
boys as these from Bands of Hope
for if they say “no” in connection
with drink, they can say “no” in
collection with other things. I
will give you an illustration of
what I mean.
A little fellow who had been
brought up a staunch teetotalar
was about to be apprenticed. The
foreman offered him a glass of beer.
The little fellow said:
“I never touch that stuff.”
“Halloa, youngester,” replied
the foreman, “we have ro teeto
talers here.”
“If you have me, you’ll have
one,” returned the boy.
The foreman was irritated, and
holding up the glass of beer, he
said:
“Now, my boy, there’s only one
master here, you’ll either have
this inside or outside ’

A BLIGHTED LIFE.
No one can read the following
without a feeling of the deepest in
dignation against liquor dealers,
who, knowing the habits of this
young man. would still sell him
whiskey. And the indignation is
just as great toward those who li.
cense men to sell whiskey. May
God help us to blot out the dis
gr ce from our state.
In a little house on McDaniel
steeet a blighted life was ended
yesterday morning. Weakened by
disease, worn by dissipation, Lee
Peacock, for several years the most
conspicuous habitue of the city
stockade, died.
It was the sad ending of a sad
career.
Peacock had the brightest pros
pects. Some years ago he was look
ed upon as one of the most pop
ular young men in Atlanta. „His
family was well known and had a
good standing.
He attended the state university
and among the crowd of jolly stu
dents ucuewere better known than
happy-hearted, careless Loe Pea
cock. He returned to Atlanta and
fur several years engag'd steadily
in business. But he loved whiskty
and his taste for that firey fluid
could not be controlled. His fall
was rapid.
He was arrested several times
for being drunk on the stree’s,
'i hese arrests became more frequent
and in a few mouths it was not an
uncommon thing io see Lee Pea
cock brought into the station deep
ly under the influei ci of liquo'.
For the last three years most of
his days have been spent at the
city stockade. He began to look
upon the place as home, and the
day after he was released appeared
again before recorder with unfail
ing .regularity to be sentenced
again fora stay at the stockade.
He was treated there as a kind of
trusty. The guards knew his weak
ness and pitied him. He was giv
light duties and often allowed to
rem tin behind while the rest of
tie prisoners were carried to the
works.
There was naturally nothing
mean in the make up of Lee Pea
c ck, and it was only when unde r
the influence of liquor when his
manner took a vicions turn.
Peac< ck made many attempts to
reform, and his friends of better
days made sfforts to help him out,
but the thirst for drink was irre
sistible Six weeks ago he an
nounced his decision to reform ho
tel e Judge Calhoun in one of the
most pathetic pleas ever heard
in a courtroom. When he had fin
ished there was scarcely a dry eye
among the crowd of hardened po
licemen. He went over his life in
a voice choking with grief. f
“Judge,” said he, “let me off
this time, and I promise you I will
never come up before you again. If

clothes, judge.
I just got out of the stockade
yesterday, and I haven’t had any
chance to get any more. I am go
ing out home and straighten up
and go to work. I know I have
been here lots of times, but I mean
what Isay, and if you give me a
chance, I will try to do better.”
Judge Calhoun let him go. Two
days after that he was arrested
again and brought before the re
corder.
“Judge,” he said, with a hearty
laugh, “there ain’t no use for me
to try. Just give me thirty days,
that’s all you can do forme now.”
Peacock served bis sentence and '
was released. Several days after, he
had a difficulty with Night Guard,
Ike Wheeler at the city stockade, and
he never recovered from the injuries
received.
“He had no business out her ,'
said Wheeler, speaking of tho affair.
“He was drunk, and came here sim
ply to mule a disturbance. I came in
my house late that afternoon and
found Lee there. My wife ran out
and told me that he had insulted her
and, or couige, I was mad. I struck
him, but I did not strike him with a
g u or with a chair. I used my fists, I
but I used them hard and knocked
him from the house. I was sorry I hit
him so haid, afterward?, but the fact
that hj had come to my house during
my absence and insulted my wife,
enraged me.”
That afternoon Lee Pescock was
carried to the Grady hospital. His
wounds were dressed, and he was
released next day. After that he
was al out the station house once
or twice, but appeared very feeble.
Last week he was taken seriously
ill, and since then grew worse, un
til his death yes.eruay morning.—

KILLED Hli FATHER.
Van K. Prichett was tried for
the murder of his father, iu Ten
nessee, last week. The circumstances
were these. The father,Clark Prich
ett, was drunk and bad compelled
Mrs. Prichett to play the piano
several hours. She arose, after a
time, as it she would leave the
room, when her husband .cursed
her and advanced toward her with
his hand on bis hip pocket. Hav
ing previously threatened her life
Van Prichett, believing his moth
er’s life was in danger slipped b< -
tween them and shot his fathur
twice, d,ath following in a lew
hours. This is another whiskey
tragedy. They are constantly oc
curring. And yet men are licensed
to sell it. We pray the legislature
now in session in Atlanta, to give
us some protection from saloons
and whiskey sellers. —rWesleyan
Advocate.
There is no medicine so often
needed in every home and so ad
mirably adapted to tho purposes
for which it is intended, as Cham
berlain’s Pain Balm. Hard
ly a week passes but some member
of the family has need of it. A
tooth ache or a scald promptly re
lieved and the sore healed in much
less time than when medicine Iras
to be sent for. A sprain may be
promptly treated before inSama
tion sets in, which in
sures a cure in about
one-third of the time otherwise re
quired. Cuts and bruises should re
ceive immediate treatment before
the parts become swollen, which
can only be don when Pain Balm
is kept at hand. A sore throat may
be cured before it becomes sericus
A troublesome corn may be remov
ed by applying it twice a day for a
week or two. A lame back may be
cured and several days of valuable
time saved or a pain in the side or
chest islieved without paying a
doctor bill. Procure a 50 cent bot
tle at once and you will never re
gret it. For sale by Lowry & Bros
SKIPPED
Frank Bowen, Said to have Gone
to Texas.
News was brought to the city yes
terday stating that Frank E. Bowen
and famitey, of Silver Creek , had
left for Texas last night, and that
he also left many debts behind .
The same report says than his s >d
Charley Bowen and family skipp- |
ed with the o'd gentleman.
An Amusing Oversight.
An amusing incident occurred at
a fashinable wedding in London.
One friend, who determined to
save her money and credit at the
same time, took a broken ear-ring
to a famous jeweler of Bond street !
an i ordered the little stone to be 1
set as a scarf pin for the groom. j
As she sagely remarked: ‘lt (
does me no good, and coming from (
such famous establisment, they
are sure to prize it and think I paid
a lot of money.”
When the package was returned
from the shop the wedding guest
failen to examine her proposed
present, and merely dispatched it
with her card and compliment.
Imagine her disgust when stroll
ing through the rooms where the
bridal gifts were displayed, to find
a dezen peop'e about her offering
and each one sniilling. For a mo
ment she hesitated, then passed
forward, and lo! there was the pre
cious white satin covered box, bear
ing the prize name, it is true, but
alas ’ below: “From the repairing
department.”
And even worse than all, resting
on the blue cotton beside the pin,
was an old bit of broken ear-ring
returned by the conscientious firm.
