"sorrow. next JOY. is what we ought to pray for,
A next TO peace, we profit most from pain"
The best, however. is considered none
too good for free-born American citizens !;
and the pursuit of joy and peace. as the
constituent of happiness. is one of the in-
aliensble rights claimed for all men in the
immortal Declaration of Independence.
Mr.. Henry l.. Weed of Belfast, Me-. has
had exceptional. success in the pursuit of
that without which, in general, neither en-
iovment nor happiness is possible,-good
health. He is a young man who. for thir-
teen wears, had been afflicted with rheuma-
tism, indigestion, and q cough, which last
wa, 80 constant and troublesome, particu-
larIy since a severe attack of La Grippe,
that he was apprehensive of con-
sumption,-two members of his
family having died of that disease.
He suffered almost constantly from rheu-
m.,ism. which particularly affected his right
fool, to such an extent that he was fire.
oueutly unable to work for days and even
we.ks ut A time. He had been treated by
many regular physicians and had expended
. large amour, of money for various popu-
lar pateut medicines without receiving any
| benefit from either. He says:
Saturday evening, Jan. rs. last, my
right foot was so swollen and painful that
I could hardly stand upon it; and. on the
recommendation of Mr.. r. H. Moody,
druggist, of Belfast, bought OF him one
| hottie each of Rodolf's Discovery ami
| Emulsion and commenced their use
Within - hours the swelling hal suhs'd-
cd and the pain ceased. and have not
heen troubled with either since. have
not been free from rheumatism so long

Nv stomach trouble has materially I'M
nroyed and is still improving. My cough

taken three bottles each of the Discovery
an, Emulsion. and am continuing their use
Nv general health is much improved and
have increased in weight; my appetite il

The well known and successful military
comedy drama, "A Fair Rebel" will be
presented at the Augusta Opera houss j,
Monday evening, May 18th, for the benefit
of the ushers.
The story Of the play runs through the
late war and deals with the escape of Union
officers from the celebrated Libby Prison
The scene in the third act when the Union
prisoners escape from Libby Prison by
means Of an underground tunnel is an ex
citing and realistic representation. The
tapping of the military telegraph wires
sending dispatch to army headquarters
carries one right to the scene of action
The bugle call prancing steeds, marching
and counter-marching of squads of soldiers
are all given with correctness and accuracy
of detail. The sensation is relieved by a
pretty love story. which runs through the
play and there is plenty OF comedy.
The cast will be the same a. when the
play was given here so successfully las:
local critics.
"oLD JED PRoCrY."
An important dramatic event will be the
coming Of "Old Jed Prouty" of Bucksport
Maine. For several years past "Oid Jed"
and that eminent actor, Mr.. Richard Col
den, have been Synonymous; they are one
and the same they tell of New England
rural life. they bubble over with fun, they
TEEN with the purest and richest Of humor
and at the same time they work out sim
pie story full of pathos, closely adhering to
realism and ever retaining the interest.
Richard Goldens Characterization of Uncle
Jed is a masterpiece Of dramatic art and
takes rank with best work of our most emf
nent old school actors.
Mr.. Golden, aided by competent com
pany, will be seen iG 'Old Jed Prouty" at
the Opera house, Wednesday, May II.

The Simmons Case.
Evening Mail.

Evening Mall.
The case Of the commissioners of
Sumner county against L. H. Sim
mons has been decided by the supreme
court in favor Of the county, thereby
reversing the judgment of Judge Ray,
which was in favor Of Mr.. Simmons
for s746.04 and costs:
Mr.. Simmons as county surveyor
cOntended that under the act of 1891,
he could keep his Office open every day
in the week and charge the county
with 81 for each day. The commits
sioners thought different, and refused
to pay him more than for one day in
each week for the quarters ending
June 30th, 1892. From this order of
the commissioners he appealed to the
district court and the case was there
defended by County Attorney Pool.
The judge in constituting the statute,
gave the benefit Of the doubt to Mr..
Simmons and against the county and
rendered judgment against the county
for S704. Mr.. Pool failed to file d
motion for a new trial and for that
reason the county could not take the
case to the supreme court. Mr.. Sim
mons afterwards presented his bills
for the quarter ending Dec. 3lst, 1892,
when the commissioners refused TO
pay for more than one day in the week,
and he again appealed to the district
court. When the case came on for
trial the commissioners decided to
employ counsel to assist Mr.. Pool and
carry the case to the supreme court,
and James Lawrence was employed.
The district judge again rendered
judgment against the county for the
sum of s746.4 and costs. Mr.. Law
renee interpOsed a motion for Judge
ment, Notwithstanding the findings
OF the court and for new trial, which
were Overruled by the judge and the
case was Immediately taken to the
supreme court, where the same was
argued by Judge HerriLk for the plain
tiff and James Lawrence for the
county at the April sessions Of the
court. The court has just handed
down its opinion reversing the decis-
ion of the district judge.
This is an important decision as
prior to the repeal Of the law under
which claim was made, county sur
veyOrs throughout the state were
claiming the sum Of 81 per day for
keeping their Office opens
The above decision with the bills
now pending will save the county be-
tween 81 800 and 5000 and will re-
suit in saving to the counties of the
state at least sl35, 1000 year. This
decision was handed down by Allen,
the Pepulist member Of the supreme
court.
Judge Ray says the statement in
the above as to having given plaintiff
the benefit OF the doubt is an error,
there never having been any doubt in
his mind IS to the law.
