Was It a Ghost ?
Newnan Advertiser: A gentleman
living about two miles north of town,
noted lor his truthfulness, relates a
strange and thrilling apparition
which he was an eyewitness of last
Wednesday that baffled all attempts
at explanation. This gentleman says
he never did believe in ghosts or any
spirit manifestations, nor does he so
believe now, but that what he saw on i
Wahoo creek the other day has sha
ken his faith very much and he is now
ready to believe in anything. He
admits that his mother has always
been regarded as a spirit medium
through whom by rappings on the
table and pencil writing on a slate,
she could hold conversation with her
departed friends and often claimed to
see things that no one else could see
but that he never believed in all her
“foolishness,” and regarded it as a
huge joke. At one time he says while
Lis mother was in a semi-conscious
state she called for pencil and slate,
and on taking the pencil in hand
wrote upon the slate to go at once to
her married sister living in Jonesboro
lying at the point of death, signing
her dead father's initials. Immediate
ly following was a message from a
departed aunt telling her to go, as
her sister was dying and wanted to
see her about caring for her little
three-year-old girl. On returning to
consciousness she took the first train
to Jonesboro to find her sister in the
last agonies of death. Bat even with
all this and many other strange things
that have happened through the
mediumistic influences of bis mother
he doubted any supernatural agencies
and thought it only a delusion cr
fancy of the old woman.
Wednesday morning while most of
the people in and around Newnan
were busily engaged in work he went
out upon Wahoo creek, about three
miles from town, and when in a very
dense section of bushes and trees he
observed five strange looking crea
tures, one of whom was very tall and
slender, wearing a thin garment of
white and black, with a hat neither
ancient nor modern, but similar to
those worn by a Texas cowboy, and
arms long and tapering, with fair and
lily-white hands; another not quite so
tall but large and broad shouldered,
with a voice similar to those birds
that fly up and down the Cumber
land river in Tennesse, whose dress
was similar to the other, only much
longer in the train and more difficult
to carry through the weeds a‘_d briars;
another wore a peculiar ami thin
wrapper, antique in appearance yet
artistic in design, revealed a little-like i
form that would have done for a
model for an Angelo or worthy the
facile pencil of a Rapbeal, glided
about over the rocks and cliffs with
perfect ease. This creature, human
or spirit, he could not divine which,
had for companions two little mer
maids, habited like the nereids and
graces, all of whom were eating black
berries, not plucking them with their
hands as people generally do, but
gathering them with their bills like
birds. Whenever they wanted to go
from one bank of the stream to the
other they flitted across the water like
wrens jumping from log to log in a
wood pile. Finally, having satiated
their appetites, they su idenly disap
peared in the water like young ducks
diving for insects in a shallow stream.
After regaling themselves for some
time they then returned through the
woods, flying up iuto the trees and
hanging to the limbs like sapsuckers
to a dead pine and leaping the rail
road cut above the bridge without the
slightest effort.
By this time night came on and
they slowly wended their way up to
the east side of the cemetery, where
the fence is high, which they leaped
over without putting their hands on
the fence or putting forth any exertion
whatever. The gentleman then ca ue
around to the south side of the ceme
tery and went in. Just as he reached
the cluster of buslies on the western
slope of the grounds, ho discovered
! theso creatures sitting on a tomb
: stone, who, on his approach, raised
their arms, gave a hideous shrill and
l vanished like mist before the sun
i light. He stood for some moments
j motionless and speechless, scarcely
believing his eyes, yet knowing fu 1
[ Well that ho was in his right mind.
I He is of the opinion that if there are
, such things as ghosts, or that the
spirits of the dead can return to earth, ,
that what he saw was c?rtainly of that
I character.
Age appears to increase the value
of everything except women and
butter.

No man was ever so mean that be
would not give advice.
Girls, never marry a man who loves
to spend a holiday looking at other
fellows doing something.
A counter irritant—the lady who
prices everything and buys nothing.
A man is always a bachelor until he
gets married, and then lie is anything
his wife chooses to call him, and she
usually <:oes.
Almost anybody can take a compli
ment when it is thrown at him, but
not everybody knows how to wear it
after he gets it.

JAMES C. DUN’L P.
Almost three score years and ten h ivo pas--
ed over the head of Jane-s C. imiilap- the
frosts of seventy winters have smed to
whiten his locks, and the wanntn and
gladness of as many summers have pre
served in him their geniality and friendly
spirit. Man’s allotted time of life has been
given him and he is y< t as and as
hearty as if he was ' prepared to doubh
the prophet's age. He lives nt 2(54 East
Cain street, Atlanta, with his worthy wife
and family.
“My wife has,” said Mr. Dunlap, recently
‘dor the past three years be- n a great suffer
er from rhunmatism. ’l'he disease attacked
her in the scialic form, and caused her terribk
suffering. She was tortured almost all the
time, although we did everything in our power
to alleviate her pains. The disease appeared
to have a firm hold upon her, ami last sumznei
and full she suffered the most excruciating
painsand agony. Her system ottered little <u
no resistance to the ravago-? of this disease
We almost despaired of relieving her of its
clutches, and it was with heavy hearts and
little faith we began the use of Hnnnientt’s
Rheumatic Cure, at the eanicst solicitation ol
our friends last December. The effect of tin
medicine was almost miraculous. She began
to improve at almost the first dose, and
although at this time she has only taken thn e
bottles, I can truthfully say that thousands of
dollars would not express the good it has
accomplished for her. Her rheumatic pains
and twinges have entirely disappeared. It is
certainly a wonderful remedy, and 1 desire to
be put upon record assaying that any person
who allows a friend to suffer from the ravages
of disease when a specific of this kind can be
procured from any drug store of this broad
land of ours, at the trilling price of one dollar
a bottle, within the reach of even the poorest,
is naught but a criminal ” Manufactured by

BLOOD and MONEY
<
The blood of man has much to do
in shaping his actions during his pi!- I
grimnge through this troublesome (
world, regardless of the amount of
present or expectant money in pocket
or stored away in bank. It is a con
ceded fact that we appear asour blood
makes us, and the purer the blood,
the happier, healthier, prettier and
wiser we are; hence the oft repeated
i interrogatory, “how is your blood?”
With pure streams of life-giving fluid
1 coursing through our veins, bounding
through or.r he.uts and ploughing
through our physical frames, our
morals become better, our constitu
' tion stronger, okr intellectual fncul-'
ties more acute and grander,and men, j
women and children happier,healthier I
and more lovely.
The unprecedented demand, the
unparalleled curative powers, and the
unmistakable proof from those of un
impeachable character a.id integrity, '
point with-an unerring finger to B. |
B. B. --Botanic Blood Balm—as far |
the best, the cheapest, the quickest !
and the grandest ami most powerful
blood remedy ever before known to
mortal man, in the relief and positive
cure of Scrofula, Rheumatism, Skin
diseases, ail taints of blood poison,
Kidney complaints, old ulcers and
sores, cancers, catarrh, etc.
B. B. B. is only about three years
old—a baby in age, a giant, in power
—but no remedy in America can
make or ever has made such a won
derful showing in its magical powers
in curing and entirely eradicating the
above complniuta, and gigantic sales
in tlie face of frenzied opposition and
would be moneyed monopolists.
Letters from all points where in
troduced are pouring in upon us,
speaking in its loudest praise. Some
say they receive more benefit from one
bottle of B. B. B. than they have, from
twenty, thirty ami fifty and even one
hundred bottles of a boasted elect c
tion of inert and nun-medicinal roots
and branches of common forest trees.
We hold the proofin black and white,
and we also hold the fort.
POLICEMAN’S VIEWS
Mi’s. M. M. Prince, living at 38
West Fair St. Atlanta, Ga., bus been
troubl’ed for several months witli an
ugly form of catarrh, attended with a
copious ami offensive discharge from
both nostrils.
Her system became so affected nnd
reduced that she was confined to bed
at my house for some time, an I r -
ceived the attention of three physi
cians, and use l a dozen bottles of an
extensively advertised blood remedy,
all without the least benefit.
She finally commenced the use ot
B. B. B. a decided improvement
at once, and when ten boitles had
been used, she was entirely cured ol
all symptoms of catarrh.
It gave her an appetite, and increas
ed her strength rapidly, and I cheer
fully recommend it ns a quick and
cheap tonic and Blood Purifier.
