Law in the Family.

People are always glad to shift re-
sponsibility and shirk unpleasant du-
ties.
The growth of the State has dwarf
ed the very foundation of the State
tho family. In tho good old
time when the average American
considered himself an all-around man,
able to take care Of himself and lick
anything in sight, every family had
head. In those days the head of
the family made himself felt. He
taught his youngsters morals and
manners at the tireside, and kept his
eyes wide open. Now it is different.
The nominal head of the family
looks to the State to keep his boys
from carrying pistols, playing cards,
buying cigarettes and whiskey, and
he expects them to get all their NOR
ais and department from churches
and public schools.
The new system is not working
well. The State, the church and
tho public school cannot entirely take
the place of the old fashioned dad
dy who held himself responsible for
his children, taught them what was
right, and wore them out with hick-
or when they went wrong.
What is wanted is not so much
outside law, but more law and order
in the family. Men are made OF
marred at the fireside. No artifi-
cial daddy with parcel of statutes,
formal flubdub and textbooks can
take tho place of the natural daddy
with his love and common sense,
and big hickory. Whou man makes
the right kind of laws for his own
family and executes them, he need
not bother himself about State laws
and courts. His boys will never
need the legislature, a bench of
judges, and sherff's posse to keep
them straight.-1tlanta Constiti-
ton.

Tho keeper of a stage station twelve
miles from Alma started to walk to

Shooting Scrape.

Last Sunday morning between two or three o'clock, M. W Allen night operator and agent at the dep ot was called to T. c. Norris resld- ence to deliver a telegram. Upon his return he was surprised to find that he had been robbed of trunk which belonged to Mir. Briggs a travelling man, bound east. Mir. Allen immediately located the trunk and the man who took it. The thief was taking out the contents of the trunk, when Allen ordered him to stop. He (the thief) then ran away. Then Allen again order ed him to stop, but to no avail. Allen then fired shot in his rear to scare him a little, but this did no good, and again Allen fired, but the thief still kept running and hanging to his plunder. By this time the thief was between l50 and 200 yds. of, and about to get away with the property, when Allen fired the third time, this ball took effect and en- tered the left breast The thief then dropped his plunder and pro- ceeded to go to the bunk-house of the section men, where he is now under Dr. Cornish's directions, and on the improve.
 This is the third time this winter that Mr. Allen has been robbed while on duty, and it was only the fact that this thief would not stop that Allen fired at him.
 A preliminary examination was hell before Justice of the Peace Weatherford last Wednesday and Allen was discharged.
 The whole community is of the opinion that the thief got the just deserts in this matter.
 The wounded mans name is Al bert Downey, and has been an em pioye of the railroad as section hand at this place for a long time.

Walked Up ERecfnaIIv.

A lethargic, dormant condition of the liver is hardly to be over come with drastic cathartics and nauseous cholagogues. A gentler pleasanter and far more effective means exists of arousing the organ when somnolent. This is Hostet- ter's Stomach Bitters, vouched for by the medical fraternity, tested by the public for many years. A re- sumption by the billary organ of its secretive function, with the activity attendant upon health return to regularity of the bowls, and a re- newal of digestion, are the no less happy and certain results of using the Bitters systematically. Its laxative effect is never painful and drenching, its tendency being rather to perpetuate regularity than to produce a copious action. Maluria, nerviousness, debility, kidney trou- bles and neuralgia it Supdues effe t. ually.

Can soirrhus Cancer be Cureds

This is a hard question to answer. Swifts Specific has cured thousands of cases of Skin Cancer, and there have been many cases of Scirrhus Cancer reported cured by it. We do say that $. $. s. Is worte a trial in any case of cancer. We append statement from Miss Green, oi Tallapoosa, Ga:
 In 1884 I had small lump in my left breast, which proved to be a cancer. The first remedy I tried was to have 1t burned of. This did not cure it, for shortly afterward it broke out again in a much worse form. 1 then consulted our drug gist, who advised me to take Swifts Specific (S. $. S.), and after taking about on dozen bottles, was com pletely cured, aud my general health was greatly improved. This has been over six years ago, and my cancer has never appeared since, nor has 1t troubled me in any way. I can cheerfully recommend Swift's Specific (S. s. S) to any one suffer- ing with cancer.

The action of the school trustees re
specting the contract for lighting and
heating the central building doesn't i'm
prove on acquaintance. The only object
in requiring that check accompany the
bids is as guaranty that the bidder
will enter into contract in accordance
with the proposal. In the case of Mr.
Walsh, that purpose was fully met by
a personal voucher of responsible mer,
chant on Main street. One might sus-
pect that his real mistake was that he
didn't enclose two checks. But tbs
browning qualification of the trustees il
that while they pretend that they re-
jected his bid on account of the absence
of . check, they actually awarded to hin
a part Of the contract on the self-sams
proposal that they rejected. Such bra
ZEN Inconsistency could not be required
