ThoCirce ly Rescue.
The international attempt to sur¬
round the north pole with stations
has only resulted in disaster and
failure. Eleven stations were estab¬
lished by the nations represented in
the international polar conference
.beId in Hamburg in 1870. The Uni¬
ted States agreed to establish one m
82 degrees north, and Lieutenant
Greely and twenty-four men started
■in June, 1881, for Discovery harbor,
.which he reached without difficulty.
He staid there in safety and com
parative comfort until, in obedience
to his instructions, lie was compelled
to retreat southward.
TJkb responsibility rests not at all
upon Lieutenant Greely, who obey¬
ed orders throughout. In tho first
place the expedition was sent ten
degrees farther north than were tin
other expeditions, and too high up
for valuable metorological opserva
tions. It was folly, to use a mild
word, ip send twenty-five men to
such a locality. But the folly be¬
came something worse when the
,g°v ) vl.ku-e.nt failed to relieve the
Jbtay.y. .explorers in 1882, as had been
agreed upon; and the great, wrong
of 1882, was redoubled when the
expedition of 1883 was so befogged
with orders that it left no adequate
.supply of provisions for Greelv’s
party when it retreated southward in
accordance with instruction. The
brave men left their polar home last
August, every member of the party
alive and well; and after a difficult
journey on ice floes and by sledges,
they were compelled to land at Cape
galnne and prepare for winter. Their
struggles at Cape Sabine to sustain
life are pitiful. Lieutenant Greely
was reading the prayers for the dy¬
ing when the relieving party reach¬
ed them. All were dead but eight,
ami one poor fellow died after the
rescue.
Sent where men should never be
sent, left in the land of perpoMial ice
without relief until under their or¬
ders they sought a point, where a
ship or food was to await them—
shall it he said that no one at Wash¬
ington has blundered? Shall tin- 1
administration bo he'd guiltless of
the lives of these eighteen brave
njqity. ho /imply obeyed orders? Tjie
awful responsibility can easily be lo¬
cated, and until it is, the entire
administration the president and his
entire cabinet—should bear (ho
odium and disgrace and shame. For
Greely and his bravo followers were
•absolutely free of fault.— Constitu

Georii'in Womlors.
Georgia is fast acquirin'; a reputa¬
tion as U;o homo of girls who possess
a “peculiar force.” Lulu Hurst, who
amused and mystified New York for
two weeks or more, is now in Bos
ton, where she will prove, probably,
as great an attraction as she did in
the first named city. Another Goor
gia girl, Mattie Lee Price, is giving
exhibitions of the “peculiar force”
at Wallack’s Theatre. New
and there is every reason to think
that she will meet with as much ap
preciation as Lulu Hurst did. She
■weighs only ninety-five pounds, and
if she performs feqts like those of
Lulu Hurst she will do mijoh towards
destroying the impression that the
“peculiar force” is nothing more
Ilian well directed and skillfully us-
ed muscular power. There is still*
another wonder in the held. A ladj r
named Coleman from Atlanta is^jow
said to be in Washinngton giving
private exhibitions of her peculiar
power. Reports credit jjer with do¬
ing more wonderful things than is
done by either Lulu Hurst or Mattie
Price. It is said that she can, by
placing the end of a billiard cue on
a heavy table and bolding the other
end of it, raise the table clear of the
floor. If she can do anything as
marvelous as that the chances are
that she will outshine either of the
Other wonders. When the three
wonders get to work they ought to
advertise Georgia pretty thorougly.
It must not be assumed, how-ver,
that Georgia wonders are confined to
girls with a “peotd'Ltr force.”— Suv.

An Estimable Lady Of Walton
Cyitni.y Shot Dead in Her One
Room.
Monroe, Ga., -July 21.—[Special.]—■
There was not a braver soldier in
the .old 43rd .Georgia regiment than
Captain Jeff T. Mitchell, of this
county. He intended to goto tin
reunion of his regiment in Atlunln
to day, and Saturday night his wifi
was busy preparing his clothes. She
was as harmless a woman as ever
lived, and had no enemies. About
ten o’clock Mrs. Mitchell was sitting
by a window in her room sewing.
Near her on a pallet her hushum }
and thr e small children were soni d
ly sleeping, T\v,0 loud reports of ;
gun are heard in quick
ihe window glass is Inqken into;
thousand fragments, the poor wmnai
leaps from her sent, cries “oh, lord)',”
.uni 1 alls across the sleeping lit! H
ones, and dies in one minute, pierci (
with thirteen buck shot. These ar<
the facts about the most horribh
murder ever committed in this conn
tv. The neighbors were arouseo
and did all they could to find lh
murderer. Tracks were seen,
could not be identified. Burnt pa
per used for wadding was found,
examined and proved to be a part, m

As there are no daily papers taken,
in that community this may prove f
clue to the at rest of the gudtv man
The whole county is deeply affected
All day Sunday a e iroiier’s jur\
were busy hearing evidence, but ad
journed without, discovering anv
thing positive about the perpetrator.
Captain Mitchell is a w ll-do farmer,
who lives near Walnut Grove, in the
county, and is highly esteemed h\
his neighbors. The slmt was not in
tended for him. Just two weeks a
go ins grown son died in Con vers,
and was brought home and buried.
Walton county is fast, becoming
fatuous for its bloody crimes. The
good people of the county are doing
all in their power to punish the guil¬
ty parties.— Comtftmi n.

l’arkev’s Siiiike Story.
From the T.hojuasville Times,
,1. F. Parker comes to the from
with the boss snake. It was caught
alive by Mr. Parker, chloroform b -
ing administered while the snake
was asleep. It. was found by Mr.
.Parker shortly after it had swallow
ed a sheep, and after admiuisterin;
the chloroform was dragged to Mr
Parker’s residence by means of hitch
ing four males to trace chains which
were looped around its fangs. Mr,
parker hung it by the head to tin
giant sycamore tree in front of h s
place and striped oil its skin, f
which he has made a beautiful car
l H ‘ t his parlor floor. It. was
thought that tho snako was dead af
ter Liking oil the skin, and it was
carelessly cut down the next day,
when having recovered from tile
chloroform, it crawled out of the
yard and killed a cow. It next bit
a negro and died. This snake had
147 rattles. Mr. Parker will take
pleasure in showing any visitors its
skin.

many people are doing.
They don’t know just what
is the matter, but they have
a combination of pains and

grow worse.
The only sure remedy
yet found is Brown's Iron
Bitters, and this by rapid
and thorough assimilation
with the blood purifies and
enriches it, and rich, strong
blood flowing to every part
of the system repairs the
wasted tissues, drives out
disease and gives health and
strength.
