It seems odd that the establish

only of eight-page size will be the

’/Judge Maddox has introduced a
bill in the congress to establish
another Federal court in North
Georgia. The bill provides that
the court be held in Rome and that
the district be composed of the
counties in North Georgia. This is
a measure much needed in this sec
tion. It would lessen the govern
mental expenses, give more sptedy
and important trials and insure
satisfaction among the people.
None but the level head of John
Maddox have ever attempted a
measure of so much importance to
this section. —Spring Place Jimple

Oliver Wendell Holmes kept up
with th<‘ literature of the dav until
the very last. On Sept. 19, the
day the book came out, he sent to
the old corner bookstore in Bos on
for a copy of "‘Trilby, ” and the
next week he ordered a copy of
“Peter Ibbetson. ” This old bonk
store, famous for years as thu in
formal place of rendezvous of Bos
ton’s literary light-, was one of
Dr. Holmes’s favorite resort-. On'
the occasion of his last appearance
there, when he cams in a carriage
and not as usual on foot, he spoke
of the time when housed to see
Emerson there.

According to the latest census
bulletin, Georgia’s total population
is 1,837,853, and of this number
only 82,684 are of foreign parentage
or about 1.78 percent of the whole.
Atlanta has 4,748 citizens of
foreian parentage, while Savannah
has 8,(562, and’Augusta 3,192.
We have now about 4,000 fewer
of this class in Georgia than we
had ten years ago, and there lias
been a slight falling off in Atlanta.
Augusta and Savannah.
When the Rev. Madison C. Pe
ters, in his sermon last Sunday,
pronounced the South the only
truly American section, he might
have added that that Georgia and
the Carolinas are the only truly
American states, measured by the
census standard.
Ip the course of time, however,
there will probably be a great
change in our population. Euro
psan iinigrants will be drawn to
this section by our superior advan
tages, and a generation hence it
is likely that the percentage of our
foreign element will be many times
multiplied, Fortunately we have
room enough for millions of new
comers, and we do not care where
they hail from. If th»y are good
citizens, industrious and thrifty,
they will be cordially welcomed.—

NAPOLEON AS A HOBSEMAT”
Napoleon was a cruel horseman
and changed his mount frequently
during battle. At Waterloo, how
ever, he rode only the famous
Marango. Another celebrated war
horse of the great Corsicau, wag
Alillci'.liZ.
Napoleon always insisted that
Lis hors ‘s should white or gray.
Twelve were killed under him. He
ins oi c.e carried quite within the
'■nemy s linos, where he narrowly
* '*'pi»<l capture, by a mad charger
Napoleon’s runaway, it is only
air tn cotife -s. was caused by a
terrible wound that goaded the
pn.ir steed to uneontrollable mad
ii' -. Men lose their heads from
pain; why may n >l, a Lors ■?
For a dumb combination of un
qualified savagery we must go to
the camp of those masters of war
fare—th<* French of Napoleon’s
day. One ol the emperor's aides,
Capt. ds Mirbot, owne I a m ire
named Lizzette, noted in peime <>;•
war for viciousnsis uder certain
provocation.
O.iee with her master on h r
back, s!ie was surrounded by Rus
sians. A huge grenadier made a
lunge at Marbot with his bayonet,
but Lizzette dispatches him with
tigerish ferocity, using only her
teeth. After• ard she backed oil’,
clearing with her iron heels a space
among the Russians pressing on
her flanks, then wt eeled, dragging
down to death beneath her hoofs
an officer as she did so, and dart
ing through the astonished arowd
to a place of safety.
In that brief encounter she kill
ed two Russians outright, and
crippled several others with her
heels, and it all came from a cruel
bayonet that aroused all the poor
creature’s latent frenzy.
TWILIGHT .MUSING
[WHITTEN-TOR THE SUNDAY HUSTLER OF ROME]
Twilight sliadows so softly are stealing
Over hill side, brook and dale;
The distant b ills their Jeep notes pealing
as they come to us bef’ire the gale.
I am sitting at the window
Ana my thoughts are bad ward cast.
Musing on my childhood’s "future”
So long ago, turned to the past,
And 1 lift inv yearfiing gfance<
To the shadow darkened sky,
where one golden star of even,’
For years have met my eye.
Glowing in ihe so nber heavens
l ike a signal light atrsea
Pure and bright—through ages constant,
God, like thee!
Sh 'riding on benighted mortals
All the c earnes of its rays,
Silent beck’ning, mutely poiuing.
To the weary heart the way
Oh I know that, though lifi ’s pathway
May seem thorny, hard to tread,
God will help us: we must only
Do our best—and "look o’er head.”
For the heaven we love to dream of.
Faintly glimmers, like the star
And its wa-chlight cheers the weary,
From afar.
Till by hope, love, prayer made perfect,
Dawns the ciayiight of our faith
Falling never, constant ever
Still l trust, "strong iu death.”
—Minnie Lee Arnold

DE AFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
By local applications as they
cannot reach the diseased portion
of the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining ot the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroy*
d forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which i*
nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (cans
ed by catarrh) that cannot
cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure'
