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. A fri. nd in knead—the baker. 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. The cream of literature is best when it is condensed. Thousands of Dollars. I Gentleman Who Kas Readied flic Pniph cf.'s Age. ■ ? A 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 J.

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.

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. J. W. Glolu, At’antc, Jrn.
