2 THE WEEKLY STAR. PCBLITHED EVERY TUESDAY BY Chas. O- Peavy- Douglas Co._Offirial Orgaru Entered at the post office at Douzlasville, G»,i as second class mail matter. ” MAY 12 th, 1885. 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. Mas. C. W. Sntsno’Dßß. Rutland, Ga., Feb. 2,1885. Cfeufrrh la 11**4. 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. L. S. Wassum, Gettysburg, 0. Jan 14,1884. Treatise on Blood and Skin Dis eases mailed .free. The Swift Specific Co., Drawer 3, Atlanta, Ga. 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. L:gil Advertisements. GEORGI A—Douglas County. Whereas J. Henry Winn.
