given up by some. though Congressman
Rufus Z. Lester stated some days ago
that, IN his opinion, the matter had been
practically settled. and il was decided that
the contractors were to go ahead with the
work on the contract for brick and stone.

TURPENTTNE MEN TO MEET.
The Protective Association to Out
line Its Plans To-day.

The Turpentine Operators Protective
Association will hold a meeting to-day
at the office of Messrs Gignilliat &
Stubbs, in the Board of Trade building,
for the purpose of fully perfecting their
organization, and laying out the work
they have before them.
The operators want to hold together
firmly for the better protection of the
trade, in one respect especially, and that
is in their relations to the barrel trade.
They have not succeeded yet in break
ing the barrel combine, and they claim
they are paying fully ten cents more per
barrel than they should pay. Their orig
inal project was to start a barrel manu-
factory and make their own barrels, and
1t is likely that there will be some discus
sion of this question to-day.
Circulars have been sent out calling
attention to the Importance of the meet
ing and a large attendance of the oper-
ators is expected. President D. T. Daugh-
try of Cordele, and Vice President K NJ
Patterson of Araby will he present.

Conductor w. L. Bowen Of the Electric
Railway Company sustained a bad acci-

The car reverses at this point and goes

The motorman continued on some dis

GALATIANS NEW OFFICERS.
Their Test Before the Local Examin-
ing Board

1t is understood that all of the non
commissioned officers of the Artillery will
hand in their designations at the next
quarterly meeting of the company, it be-
ing customary for the newly-elected Of
flores to select their own non-commis-
stoned officers.
The selection of the non-commissioned
ofhcers, 1t is said, will depend very largely
on the merits of the men, and it is likely
that they will be required to make them
selves thorough in the artillery tactics,
and go through examinations almost
commissioned officers before they receive
appointments. 1t may be interesting Ia
know how many of the old non-commis-
stoned officers are likely to retain their
positions

The bad Boy was al the tbaster

Trllby will be seen for the first time bv

maze a play that teens with action and
dramatic effect. The story is told in a
comprehensive, straightforwarded man
ner. Every situation is reasonable and
natural; there are no anti-climaxes no
repetitions, no extraneous theatric de-
vices, the development of the story is
logical and consistent at all times. Mr.
Potter has followed the book rather more
1althtully than is the custom with the
average dramatist, and most of the char
acters have been reproduced with fideli-

SMALL BEGINNINGS

Make great endings sometimes. Ail- ments that We are apt 10 consider triv- ial often grow, through neglect, into atrocious msladies, dangerous in themselves ard productive of others. IL is the disregard of tine earlier indI- cations of i'll health which leads to the establishment of all sorts Of maladies on a chronic basis. Moreover, there are certain disorders incident to the season, such as malarial and rhumtaism against which it is always desirable 10 iortify the system after exposure to the conditions whicd produce them. Cold. damp and missma are surely counteracted by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. After you have in cured risk from these influences, A wineglassiul or two Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters directly afterwsI should be swallowed. For maleris, dyspepsia, liver complaint, kidney anh bladder trouble, nervousness and debr ility it is the most deservedly popula- of remidies and preventives. A wine glassiul before meals promotes appe- lte.

IT is noticed that while there are a good many cigarette fends in Tomb stone, there do not seem to be any who suffer the usual ills that affect the ex- cessive user of the coffin nails. This is no doubt due to the fact that nearly all the heavy smokers roll their own cigarettes, and the paper and tobacco both being unsdultersted, they are saved the poisonous effects of the msn- ufactured article.

PARIS proposes to have & Worlds Exposition in 1900, but the provinces are fighting the proposition on the ground that former expositions in jured trade throughout the country and gave foreign manufacturers an opportunity to copy French models. The provinces have not yet learned the fact that Paris is France, and il the provinces could rule, the present plan which draws from Americans alone s50,OO0,000 annually for the people Of France, would cease.
