Great praise is due jailor Skeiton for

A WONDERFUL GEORGIA WOMAN
The following particulars we get from
Mr. George @. Watson, living near the
home of the subject of the sketch: A
lady Of the Seventh district of Worth
county has become insane on the subject
of religion Her fermentation was first
noticed about month ago, soon after
the close of q protracted meeting at
Union Baptist church, near her home.
She attended the different services very
regularly, and seemed deeply impressed
and troubled from their first commence
ment. A short while before the meeting
closed she joined the church. Going
back home her incoherent, maddened
and rambling conduct was noticed by
her husband and children, and they be-
came terribly excited anu wrought up
about it. She went raving about the
house and yard with bucket of water,
baptising everything in her pathway.
She baptised her husband and each one
of her children, and while doing this
sang the most beautiful songs-songs
that she had heard but once or twice.
Although an unlettered woman (her hus-
band will swear this,) she reads any
chapter in the Bible readily, pronounce
ing correctly and distinctly, paying at
tention to punctuation points, &c. She
breaches nearly all the while, aud our
informant says uses the choicest words
aid displays great wisdom and knowl-
edge in the handling IF different sub
jects. Although not o Mason, she knows
oil the mysteries of that mysterious craft
by heart. Dozens of Masons have gone
to see her, and they all come away dumb
founded. Her husband has come to the
conclusion that she is witch. She has
attempted acts of violence, but rs yet
done no harm. He, with outside assis-
tance, tried at one time to incarcerate
her in one of the rooms of the house, but
the doors became unmanageabe and
wouldn't stay locked. She hasn't slept
in eighteen days and nights, and during
that time has taken but few morsels OF
food. This is one of the strangest cases
we have ever heard of. Hundreds are
tlocking to see the frenzied woman.-Ak

Mr.. BowEnMAN PACKS HIS WIFE.

Mr.. BOwERMAN PACKS HIS WIFE's
TRUNK.--Mr Bowerman and wife left
for the country yesterday. One could
tell that their trunks were not over half
full, as they were pitched into the bag
gage car with crash. They began PACK
ing week ago. When the subject was
broached he said he preferred to pack
his own trunk, and he didn't propose to
take a whole month to it, either. All he
intended to take along was an extra suit,
and could throw that in most any way
Night before last he began work. 1t
struck him that he'd better put in an ex-
ira pair of boots rs foundation, and he
flung 'em in and braccd 'em in the cor.
ners with his clean shirts. The shirts
didn't seem to ride very well, and he
braced them with two pairs of trowsers
Then he stuffed his Sunday coat pockets
with collars and cuffs, and found place
for it, used his white vests for "chink-
ing" and the balance of his clothing lust
fitted in nicely.
"The man who takes over ten minutes
to pack trunk is dolt !" said Mr.. Bow
crrlan, as ho slammed down the lid and
turned the key.
Mrs. Bowerman had been at it Just
seven days and seven nights, and when
the husband went up stairs at 10 o'clock
she sat down before the open trunk with
tears in her eyes.
You see how it is," she explained, as
he looked down upon her in awful con-
tempt, "l've got Cnly part Of my dresses
in here, to say nothing of e thousand
other things, and even now the lid won't
shut down. Tve got such a headache /
must lie down for few minutes"
sac went away, and MIR. Bowerman sat
down and mused:
Space is space. The use of space is
in knowing how TO utilize it,"
Removing everything, he began re-
packing. He found that silk dress
could be rolled to the size Of quart Jug
A freshly starched lawn was made to
take the place of pair of slippers. Her
brown bunting fitted into the niche she
had reserved for three handkerchief, and
her best bonnet was turned bottom up in
its box and packed full of underclothing.
he sat there viewing sufficient empty
space TO pack in Il whole bed when she
returned and said he was the only real
good husband i'm this world, and she
kissed him on the nose as he turned the
key.
Its simply the difference between the
sexes" was his patronizing reply as he
went down stairs to turn on the burglar
alarm.
When that wife opened that trunk last
night --! But screams and shricks
would avail nothing. Detroit Free Press.

Fat Peoples Misfortune.

Some Of the savage tribes enter their
dwellings through hole in the roof, and
when person becomes so fat that he
cannot get in, he is regarded as an out
law. Had hissystem been adopted in the
United States, the OUTLAWS" could not
have made more active demand for
Allan's Anti-Fat than now exists. Hun

sudden death have, by it's use, been re-
duced to n comfortable living weight.

FOR THE CURE OF

DYSPEPSIA AID SICK HEADACHE
Symptoms Of a DiseasedLivcr

DAIN i'll the right side, urdcr the
edge OF the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and i
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tlte and sickness; the bowels in GEN
eral are costivc, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled Nth
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss Of men,
ory, accompanied with painful SEN
sation Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
a slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton OF the skin; his spirits are low: ::
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, vet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several Of the above
symptoms ttend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
