WILLACOOCHEE

is the name of flourishing village in
Coffee county, Georgia, OH the line of
the Brunswick and Albany railroad.
Mr.. d. E. Gaskin, well known
citizen of that village, writes under
date of December odd:
Soon after my marriage, about four
years ago, my wife was stricken with
some trouble peculiar to her sex,
which broke down her general health.
In this condition she was soon after
attacked with Inflammatory Rheuma-
tism of such severe type that it made
her cripple, She was reduced in flesh
to sixty-five pounds, and came very
near losing her life. She was attend
ed by three good physicians who treat
ed her with some benefit, but the
swelling in her joints never left her
Last summer the Rheumatism return
ed i'm still more severe and painful
form which seemed to defy the skill of
all the doctors. She would almost 60
frantic with pain, and would lie and
scream all day. A friend of mine, who
is an engineer on the Brunswick and
Albany railroad, suggested that 1
should use Swift's Specific rs. S. S. j,
which did. After she had taken one
small bottle she was up and able to
walk all over the house, and after
taking the six small bottles she is now
able to do any kind of house work !;
the swelling has gone, all the pain has
left her, and she is i'm better health
than she ever was. The treatment be-
fore using Swift's Specific cost me be-
tween $3.50 to $500, and the s. S. s.
cost me six dollars.
1t is certainly the most wonderful
medicine and the best blood purifier in
the world. The proprietors should let
the world know about it.

to caution purchasers in regard to The
numerous limitations of their goods.

In a few words last week on the sub

In few words last week on the sub
ject of "Anti-Prohibition Cranks,n we
intimated that the fanatics were not
all on the temperance side of the ques-
ton. Proof of the soundness of this
view comes in a dispatch from Leav-
enworth which states that meeting
held there last Saturday afternoon by
Rev. DR.. Krohn, of Atchison, under
the auspices of the w. c. L. L. for the
purpose of discussing ways and means
to secure enforcement of the prohibito-
~ law in that city, was broken up by
whiskey men, some one even going so
far as to assault the Reverend Doctor
as he was leaving the hall. An even
ing meeting had been appointed to be
held in the Baptist church, but the
trustees received letter warning them
that damage might be done the church
in case the meeting was held, so it was
abandoned. And all this in Kansas,
in Leavenworth, by men whe call
themselves the special champions of
personal liberty!" Talk about pro-
hihition fanatics. Can any one cite
an instance where an anti-prohibition
meeting was broken up and its speak
ers assaulted by prohibitionists Sure
ly this is the beginning of the end.
Personal violence is the resort of men
who are defeated in the argument.
If the opponents of prohibition are
compelled to violate the fundamental
provisions of our constitution, their
cause must be well nigh hopeless.

Tup trial of Mott. the spiritualistic

THE trial of Mott, the spiritualistic
medium, who was exposed by the Kan
sas City Journal two or three weeks
ago, for obtaining money under false
pretenses, was ended last week. The
Justice gave it as his opinion that
Mott is undeniably fraud, but that
as those who made complaint against
him had paid him money while be-
lieving him to be fraud and with the
intention of exposing him, they were
not deceived and could not claim that
their money had been taken under
false pretenses. Mr.. Mott was there
fore discharged.

gaining ground By the bids that
were presented before the commission
ers Wednesday, it was clearly shown
that the repairs considered by the
board to be actually necessary, will

even after this is expend-
ed, we will have only old
buildings that will last but
a few years at best. and are poorly
adapted to the needs of the county. In
view of these facts the commissioners
deferred action en- the bids until their
June meeting, in order that they may
have time to fully consider the matter.

more extended statement, but we
hope to be able next week to discuss
the question fully.

this danger. 1t not only builds up the
