He Preferred an Upper Berth.

''Why do prefer an upper berth

"Yes, Why?" Queried the man VINO

"Well, there are various reasons.

CATARRH is SYSTEMATIC

In all cases. There is no such thing as local
catarrh. There is no such thing as catarrh
of the head only. catarrh of the stomach
only, or catarrh of the throat only, or ca
tarrh of the bladder only, or catarrh of any
other part or organ only. Catarrh is system
attic first, last and all the time. Consump-
tion might as we'll be called a local disease
because the lungs appear to be the parts
most affected. Catarrh in any case is as
systematic as consumption. The whole sys-
tenn is contaminated with catarrh matter
Every drop of blood in the body is charged
with the poison. which is picked up from the
stomach by the blood and carried around in
circulation after dropping down from the
head. Under these circumstances it would
appear worse than nOnsenscal to expect to
cure your catarrh by poking. squirting,
snuffing or intalng something or other up
your nose. If you ever get cured of catarrh,
it must be by an inward medicine that is
competent TO take all the poisonous catarrh
matter down and out of the system from the
inside, putting your whole system in the
proper condition and purifying the blood, so
that you are not catching colds to produce
catarrh or any other disease. What is tn ; use
of throwing your money away or losing your
time, month after month or year after year,
when you can get cured of the most aggra-
waited case of catarrh of any kind in one or
TWO weeks by using the Red Cross ConStitu-
tional, the only medicine known at the pres
ent day that Is competent to cure catarrh in
this tn proper and only way that it can be
cured Cures guaranteed in all cases. Write
for circulars of general information.

tective Billy Grim Of Atlanta, after a long
and close investigat and shrewd
piece Of detective work. For four years
past, Lula and vicinity have been visited
by frequent and disastrous fires. Only
last spring the beautiful hotel there was
laid in ashes. Time and time again pri-
vate residences were set on fire and four
or hve were destroyed. In every instance
there was unmistakable evidence that the
work was that Of an iucendiary. Finally,
2 short while ago. Detective Grim was
put on the case. He began to follow up
the slight clues that came in his way, and
his work led TO the arrestof Joe Coffee,
the noted mountaIHeer. Detective Grim
says he has evidence enough 10 convict
Coffee of burning several houses in the vi
entity or of having It done. one person in
Lula viii swear that Coffee offered him
$500 TO burn a certain house. 1t is alleged
that Coffee became angered at somebody
or something in Lula and he has been
quietly wreakins his revenge for four
years. Joe Coffee, while somewhat no
ted character in these parts himself, has
not the notoriety of his once famous
brother, John. John Coffee was at one
time one of the most noted men in the
mountains of North Georgia. He was
charged with killing a revenue officer
about five years ago, and for many months
defed arrest He was a handsome man,
six feet four inches tall and a typical
moonshineT of the mountains. His brother
Joe, resembles him greatly in personal ap-
pearanCe. John Coffee was finally shot
down by Detective Haine, and although
wounded in number of places he recov-
cred. His arrest was a widespread sensa-
ton at the time. Nothing could be proved
on him and he was turned loose.

The Foot Bali Match With the Uni

The University Foot Ball Team
will not play the Savannah team
here on Saturday as it had been
hoped would be the case. Manager Fin
ney of the Savannah team received a let
ter last week from the manager of the
University team stating that the latter
team had decided not to play any game
between now and Thanksgiving day, in
order that it might be in good shape
for its game with the archaeological team
Of Atlanta on that day.
The Techs defeated the University team
last year, and the later are very anxious
to get even by turning the tables this
year. By piaying.a game with some other
team before Thanksgiving they would run
the risk OF having some of their men dis
abled, which might leave them in a bad
shape for the game which they have set
their hearts upon winning.
Definite arrangements have not vet been
made with the Augusta team for the
Thanksgiving day game in Savannah. but
Manager Finney thinks that the game is
practically assured. In case the game is
decided upon it will undoubtedly be the
event of the day.

Millen, Ca, Nov. Editors of the Morn

but since July the school year is to run
from July to July. Hence, the present
school year, beginning Jan. /, 1894 will

cause the schools will receive no money

the state school commissioner for that
length OF time is no more than usual
and as is done every year, he will have
paid out the entire sum by Jan. l. next

the usual rule, used up their pro rata.

of the counties will have done so by ian
