puestinirioN.
We hav* heard through some of
our friends, that certain individuals,
Smart Alec’s as it were, have been
circulating a report that the editor of
this paper has s6ld out ins interest
in the prohibition movement to the
saloon men of Douglasville. To all
such we have simply to say, that we
have no apologies to make to any
one for our actings and doings, un
less such one is personally injured
or misrepresented; in that case we
would apolcgise to a tramp. But as
to our selling ou*, this is infamously
false. This is the truth of the mat
ter: When we began our opposition
to liquor, we were then, anti still are,
uncompromisingly opposed to it. It
there has been any change in our
feelings on the subject, such change
has been more strongly in favor cA
prohibition. To hold an election in
Douglas county, costs money; and
all elections of this nature have to be
paid for by the petitioners. We
sent out petitions to different parts
of the county, and proposed to give
two dollars, and do ail the advertis
ing free of charge, in oilier to get
an elec'ion on the subject. Tne con
sequence has been, not a man in the
county has lent us a helping band.
Mota name to a petition has been
returned, not a cent of money to
defray expenses haa been effered, nor
has there been anything else done to
forward the cause, except what we
have done through the Star. We
have not, and never had any war to
make on the saloon men. The three
in this place are gentlemen, and no
one, as tar as we know, has anything
else to say of them, it is the evil
tffect of whiskey that we oppose.
There is anetber point that has
been urged to us as a reason lor not
pushing the question now. As the
law now stands, liqm r can only be
voted out in less quantities than one
gallon. There is a measure pending
before the legislature which,if passed,
will allow it voted out entirely, it
has been suggested, and stron ; ly
urged, by our most influent ial men,
men of honor, and Christian hearts,
that action in the matter be deferred
until we see what the legislature will
do.
As to the saloon advertisements in
our paper, we get pay for the space
they occupy, and wc have as much
light to Sell them space in our paper
as you have sell (hem a bushel of
corn or give them a dose of pills.
Their advertisements are not going
to hurt you, unless you al tack them.
A Urateiul Mather.
My little boy when only two years
odl had what was said to be a st roke
of paralysis, affecting his right limb,
and lor many months be could not
walk. Ills health became exceeding
ly feeble. No one dreamed he would
ever recover from his misfortune, and
hope had left my own heart ol ever
rearing him to manhood. Finally be
commenced to use his limbs a little,
but the ankle joint bad become im
potent, and in attempting to wa k bis
foot would turn to one side, and the
ankle bone would touch the floor.
With that anguish) wb ch only a
mother can fed, I ftrst realized he was
to be a cripple all his life. With the
aid of a steel ankle brace he was
enabled to get around the house.
His health wna completely shattered,
and with an aching heart and gravest
apprehension. I watched the livid
expression of countenance and
splotches on Ids face that would come
and go. What a vidoved mO'hei’s
affection could do was done, but with
little pcrmanci t bent fit Being assured
by friends that Swift’s Sptcific would
do Idin good, through tbcii kindness
I secured several bottles. I com
manced to give it to my chil 1 about
the flrat of laA Ju y (1884). The
first bottle acted like a charm upon
Ina system. After taking tl e second
bottle bis complexion cleared up and
strength began to inertase. He
threw away bis braces several montbs
ago, and now walks better than he
ever did with it. The ankle jJnt has
regained its strength and the foot it*
prop* r p vision, aud th* Urge lump
on the ankle, caused by friction and
unnatural uw, has disappear© 1. He
is now in ids sixthyear; his health is
as good aud be is t»* lively as any
Ohlld of ids age. Hu has taken six
bottles of S. S. 3. only, hut ’he
change has been wonderful, and
everyb aiy who had seen him before
heeotninece i to lake the medicine
are astonished at bis appearance now.
For the first lime since bis Vines* I
feel in my beau the hope of rearing
him- With devout gratitude to
Hix who gave him. I bless the day
I ever heard ol tbh remedy. Il has
saved to m© my child.

For year* 1 have been the victim of
esuarr's •»* n •** tr< j
and fatal of ad disease*. After ex- i
hausting all the remedies that cam
to mv knowledge, I was attracted by
the advertisement of S. S. S., and
determined to give it a fair trial. To
my infinite surprise and the astonish-,
ment of many spmpathizing fiiends, I
I have been thoroughly cured. As|
to the virtue of Switt’s Specific, I I
can find no words or language to
express my praise thereof. It it had
not been for S. S. S. I would not be
able to write even this much.

The Henry County Weekly says:
“Not a single criminal was arraign
ed/or trial', and yet Judge Steweat
left an empty jail behind him. The
theory of prohibition is thus demon
strated to be a practical and pleas
ing reality.”
Prohibitionists continue to wage
their war, and are meeting with
victory after victory. Let the good
fight continue,and cease notuhtil the
whole country has become prohi
bition.
We see by a Texas paper that the
new minister to Japan, will appoint
Mr. Frei S. Mansfield, an old
Marietta boy, now in Tex s, to the
position of secretary of legation at
a salary of $3,000 per annum.
Jerry Siilors.a white man aged 40
years, is under arrest at Rome under
suspicion ol having marri d his 17-
year—old niece. There is also reason
to believe that he is acceesory to the
murder of Frank Wild, of Villa-
Ries.
