RIP VAN WRINKLE.
Georgia's Contribution to the Christmas
Story Column.


Story Column.
AcKwoRTH Gal December 22d-R w. vii.
son. Jr., arrived here Friday from California to
spend the Christmas holidays. Forty years ago
he was a tenant croper near the town, his father
being supposed TO be dead.
In the early sett. ement of Cobb county miners
delved for hidden treasures more than they do
now. Among those engaged in this business
was K. w. Wilson.
In 1913, in fit of the blues he babe his pretty
young wife and child gocd-by and started for
California The wife remained at her home
near Ackworth, and received two letters from
him after he had arrived in California.
Finally he ceased writing altogether. After
some years passed suitors pleaded for the wife's
hand in marriage, but she declined to enter
wedlock, and kept sacred the memory of her
first love.
One day one of her suitors found in Califor-
mia paper the death of her husband. With this
assurance she consented TO marry the man who
had been so kind to her. After living with her
second husband a few years she died.
Some time ago a stranger. 65 years old. stop
ped at Acworth, and registered at the Litchfield
House as r. ~. Wilson. He inquired for his
friend Litchfeld He was told that he was
dead, and then he named friend after friend,
and was told that they were dead, or had moved
away.
Like Rip Van Wrinkle, he knew no enc, and
nobody knew him. He got on horse and rode
out into his old settlement hoping to find some
familiar face, and as he passed Captain J. B.
O'Neill's farm he saw young man picking cot
ton, and inquired his name and was tod it was
Wilson.
.sWhere is your father?'' he asked.
f'He went to California forty years ago."
Tears came rushing into the old mans eyes as
he made known that he was his father Young
Wilson was greatly affected by this declaration,
and the old man went to bis sons house, and
was introduced to his daughter-in-law and
grandchildren.
The old man told Of his reverses in California,
and why he waited for success to crown his
labors before returning.
=
He viii take his son and family back with him,
and install him as his heir.

Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suhocation
while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep
soundly and undsturbed; to rise refreshed,
head clear, brain active and free from pain or
! ache; to know that no poisonous putrid matter
defiles the breath and rots away the delicate
machinery of smell, taste and hearing to feel
that the system does not, through its veins and
arteries, suck up the poison that is sure to un-
| dermine and destroy, is indeed blessing be-
yond all other human enjoyments. To purchase
immunity from such fate should be the object
of all afflicted. But those who have tried many
remedies and physicians despair of relief or
cure.
sANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every phase
| of Catarrh, from a simple head cold to the most
loathsome and destructive stages. 1t is local and
constitutional. Instant in relieving, permanent
in curing, safe, economical and never-failing.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE consists of one bot
tie of the RADICAL CURE, one box of CATARRHAL
SOLVENT, and one IMPROVED INHALER, all
wrapped in one package. with treatise and
directions, and sold by all druggists for 81.

WAsHINGTo<, December 22d.-There is perfect

involved in the contention. The dispatch of

The English case is complicated and intensl-
ned by Serpa Pintos eneroachments upon Brit
1sh rights in Africa, but the American claim
grows out of an act of downright and iuexcus-
able spollaticn by the Portuguese Government
The Delagoa Bay and Transvaal Railway
winch is the shortest route from the South
African eold-feld to the seacoast, was un-
der concession granted by the King of Portugal
10 Edward McMurdo an American citizen who
was native OF Kentucky and gallant soldier
lnthe Union army. 1t waSexpressly stipulated in
the articles of concession that his American cit
lZenship should not be waived Colonel Me-
Murdo built the road with the aid OF English
capital IN the face OF difficulties which every
body else deemed Insurmountable only to be
confronted at LASTLY threat of the forfeiture of
his concession and confiscation of his property
unless certain new and impossible conditions
were complied with.
Under the stress of financial complication
growing out of this threat. and pending his ap-
peal TO the United States Government for his
protection, the concessionaire's health gave
way and he dropped dead from paralysis or the
brain.
Immediately sfter hisdeath the Portuguese car
ned out their threat against the protests of the
American and English Governments and Mrs
McMurdo tn came to Washington and filed her
claim for $4,000 ON the basis of the valua-
ton which the Portuguese themselves at an
earlier day had placed upon the confscated
property.
After an investigation which ran through sew
eTal months, and arguments by Mrs. McMurdo's
counsel, Colonel Ingersoll, Secretary Blaine
took up the cause and has pushed il vigorously
ever since, with the result that Portugal admits
its injustice and now only disputes the amounts
of indemnity TO be paid.
In the present aspect of the case the American
vessels at Lisbon are not likely to have occa-
sion for hostile demonstration but their pres
ence in the pc in which a United States man
of-war has been long rarity can hardly fail to
have wholesome effect.

LISBON december 22d.-Dom Pedro left Lis

Empress.
The news that the Provisional Government
had suppressed his allowance, confscated his
property, and banished the Imperial family for
a term of two years, was withheld from him by
order of his physician.
dispatch from Berlin says: For many days
the attention of the Foreign Office has been cen
tered upon the developments in Brazil. and the
threatened c0ptre coup in Portugal Long daily
dispatches from Lisbon and Madrid have con-
tirmed the intelligence recently given that
Portugal is likely to follow the example set by
Brazil. The Government here shares the uneasi-
ness felt in every chancelery in Europe. II
Portugal takes fire the movement of the Portu-
signal of a rising in Spain.
This may be followed by agitation in Italy
and by general upheaval OF the social forces
throughout Europe.
In regard to the dispute between England
and Portugal over their African possessions,
Bismarck, according to the report afIoat in
ministerial circles has written TO Salisbury ex-
pressing the hope that nothing will be done to
humiliate the Portuguese Ministry, in view of
the Imperial catastrophe in Brazil and the posi-
ton OF the monarchy in Portugal, face to face
with similar forces to those that cast down Dom
Pedro.
An article in the National ZeitUng indicates
that Bismarck favors the English claims in this
difference between the powers. This is due
chiefly to the intimate relations of the Courts
and the general concurrence in their foreign
policy
