Besst on all Sides

By maleria, how shall we escape the dread
infection is the question which the deni-
zens of fever aud aeue districts ask them
selves. The answer comes from our former
sufferers who for years have escaped the WIS.,
itations of the periodic scourge. through the
protecting influence of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters.- When the necessity for using pre-
ventiye measures arises, use this means of
prevention at once. 1t regulates the liver,
facilitates digestion, and liberates impurities
from the system, when such exist, by pro-
noting healthful action of the bowels and
kidneys. Act early. Ia all regions where
miasmatic vapors breed disease, it is abso-
lutely necessary to be provided with safe
guard, and though sojourn in such locali-
ties is destined to be brief. No one can af-
ford to breathe naleria for short time.
The Bitters is sovereign specific for rheu.

EXPOSING THE RABIES.
The Mothers Think They Wiii he
Better off in Heaven.

MONTREAL Aug. 30.-S. l.. Grant, Il
gentleman who gained considerable eX-
perience during the last smallpox cpl
demic here by visiting the houses of tn"
sick, writes as follows:
I'm the present epidemic we have to
deal with people by whom no speciai
means are taken to ward of disease. as
superstition exists among them that the
death CT their children is a longed-for
Joy, and that it saves the children the
anxieties and temptations OF this world.
and that they are great deal better off
in heaven. A case came under my no
tice Of a woman who has had the large
number of twenty children. She IS liv-
ing yet. On the birth of each child she
used to pray most fervently that they
might die. In the furtherance of this
idea she neglected them so much that
eighteen out of the twenty actually died
in infancy, and yet this woman i'll all
other respects is q very kind person.
During the last epidemic was much
surprised on visiting house iii the east

lying by its side. On making inquiries
j found that the healthy child belonged
to a neighbor, who had actually put her
child in the cot for the express purpose
of giving it the small pox. Eixpostula
ton was useless. They told me that the
mother had gone to market, but would
return shortly. | waited some time to
try and have an interview with its moth

arms visited the house, expressing their
regret at the absence of the woman and
their anxiety for her return, SO that they

bills is undoubtedly a dangerous source
of infection. would suggest that dur
ing serious epidemics vault be set aside
in each bank, and all bills thoroughly
disinfected each night. Postal matter is
another source of infection. All letters

be passed, with a severe penalty to- any

Most Prosperous Counties. =

snatches of History of One OF GeorgIa's
Most Prosperous Counties. -
The early history of Oglethorpe is quite
interesting. The county was originally
aid out in 1893, and bears the name of
Georgia's illustriOus founder, Gen. Ogle-
thorpe. From an address delivered by
Hon. George K. Gilmer, at Athens, many
years ago, the following facts are very
interesting:
Miles Jennings was a Misunderstanding
old man, who lived, when the Yazoo act
passed in the county Of OglethOrpe, at the
place since known as Crabtree. He had
been, before he moved to Georgia. an In
dian fighter on the frontier Of North Car
DINA and Virginia. He retained during
life the gun with which he fought the
great battle of the "POint," where the
Indians of the west, under Logan, did not
Weld the victory until after they had
fought the whites hand TO hand from
sunrise until dark.
on the morning Of the day Of the first
general meeting Of the people of Ogle-
thorpe, after the passage OF the YazoO
act, a neighbor, who lived on the other
side Of Crabtree, came by, whilst Miles
Jennings made ready 70 accompany him.
jennings put rope in his pocket before
said nothing OF his purpose. Upon being
asked by his neighOOr what he intended
to do with the rope, he replied, "Hang
MusgrOYe." When they arrived at the
court house from their distant part OF the
county all the people had assembled.
Miles Jennings bitched his horse, went
into the crowd, pulled from his pocket the
rope, and. holding It up at arms length,
cried Out "Neighb0rs, this rope Is 10
hang MusgrOye, who sold the peoples
land for bribew The lashing OF the
surge upon the shore when the ocean Is
driven by the most furious storm Was not
louder than the noise Of the people ex-
cited into tumult by Jennings words and
the sight Of the elevated rope. NOhuman
pOwer could have saved MueQrove from
hanging II Jennings' neiehbOrs had not
given MIN notice TO make his escape.
There was no school In the Goose Pond

settlement IN 1884 10 1895. However, the

AnAged Pillow.

From the CGrReSUttte Register.
Thomas Payne, of our district, has a
pillow that is a genuine relic Of antiquity.
1t has been kept in the Payne familya s a
sort of heirloom for more than 200 years,
and belonged originally to one Littleton
NJ. Payne, one of the ancestors OF our
friend, Thomas, who lived somewhere
away back in the past. 1t is a piece of
iron about fourteen inches in length and
slightly bent. The upper part, which was
fastened to what they called stock, is
about four Inches wide and has a square
hole in the center and near the top about
three-fourths OF an inch in diameter. The
middle Is somewhat spread out and the
other end drawn to a sharp point. 1t is
clumsy continuance for pillow, and work
ed at a great mechanical disadvantage.
With such an instrument stout mule
could not have broken the land to great
err depth than four or five inches, and
about the same width. The methods of
farming must have been very laborious and
primitive in the days ofLittleton M. Payne.
With the force necessary to draw that
ancient pillow one can take the improved
lever, back action pillow of the present day
and pulverize the soil IS inches deep and
feet in width. Speaking of farming i'm
plements suggests the mention of David
N. Watkins new cotton machine. On
last Saturday Mr.. Watkins and Reuben
Higgins, with four mules, picked, ginned
and packed four bales of cotton, each
weighing 800 pounds. The machine gins
the cotton as it is drawn from the bolls-
the seeds may be caught in sacks and
dumped or the ground or scattered evenly
over the surface as a fertilizer. All the
work is done by machinery, and only two
hands are necessary-one to drive the
team and the other to keep an eye on the
machine. The lint is partially compressed
by the machine as it is ginned, and when
enough has been packed for bale, it is
carried to the press where the picking Is
completed by hand. The machine has an
attachment for packing 100 pound bales,
which are dumped in the field as they are
packed. There is really very little use for
a large heavy press, rs merchants and
shippers prefer handling the light bales.

The champion snorer.
From he Jones6oro Ne,os


IL j. NJ. Smith has weakness for any
thing it is playing a joke on fellow.
Last Saturday night Smith came In on
the down train. He secured a room at
the Storey house. When the up train ar
rived there came another drummer. There
being two beds in the room, the porter
carried the drummer up to Smiths room,
and opening the door asked if he had any
objections to gentleman going in the
room with him. Smith answered, saying:
why, no; certainly not; will be pleased
to have him, for If there is anything do
like it is company"
The gentleman undressed and was soon
in bed. Both were soon asleep. In short
time the stranger yelled out: "Ohl say,
Mister, stop that snoring. You disturb
me. can't sleep. Turn over"
Smith answered, can right" and was
soon asleep again. In a short time the
stranger again DRIED out, "Great heavens,
man. wake up and stop that snoring.
can't Sleep"
Smith answered, "All right, my friend"
just then happy thought struck him.
He said to himself: 81 will do some sn0r-
ing with my eyes open, but l will make
the fellow think / am asleep" Here
Smith came down on the bass. Those in
the house said it could be heard two
blocks away, and sounded like steam
boat rounding a bend in the river. The
stranger stood it for minute or two, then
jumping out of bed he made rush for the
door, and as he hastened out said: "Great
God, you are certainly the champion
snorer of the world" The gentleman was
found next morning asleep on the parlor
floor.
Smith says he laughed himself TO sleep,
and dreamed he and his best girl were in
gilded ice cream parlor, and while she
ate cream he sucked frozen mint julep
through a golden tube.
