A Wonderful Family.

Near Athens, Ga, resides or did reside
recently one Of the most remarkable
families to be found any place in that
section Of the south. 1t is the family of
l. d. Gloer, man of the average
weight of about 1876 pounds Gloer's
children" and his wife, however, are
persons whose weights are far beyond
the ordinary. To begin with, the wife
weighs 316 pounds, over twice the
weight of the husband. Joseph, the
heaviest of the s'boys,'' weighs 312,
David coming a good second with 800
pounds of avoirdupois. Mary, the only
girl Of the family, weighs but little less
than her giant brothers, tipping the
beam at about even 800. Ishman, the
'runt, who, the neighbors say, "talzes
after his daddy" weighs but 190 TAX
ing the six as grand total, it is doubt
full if there are half dozen families in
the United States comprised of sim
liar number that will weigh as much.
Collectively they weigh /, 5S3.
The ''big McKinneys, a celebrated
Hawkeye family, two members of
whom, with their mother, reside in and
around Knoxville, Ia, are composed of
four persons-James, Oscar, Frank and
John - the quartet weighing 1,046
pounds.
Borgout's ''Queer Characters of Hun
gary tells of an Italian family of ten
persons, the smallest of whom weighed
336 pounds after his left leg had been
amputated above the knee. They were
known as the ''Heselop Giants and
were in their prime about the year 1746.

Don't think because you are sick and moth
ing seems to give you relief that you can't
be cured. There must be cure for you
somewhere.
If your doctor can't cure you, perhaps he
has mistaken the cause. Anybody is liable
to make mistake sometimes.
One in three of us suffer from indigestion,
and one out of three dyspeptics doesn't know
it. That is, he may know he is sick, but he
blames it to something else.
Indigestion is the cause of half of our dan
gerous diseases. Shaker Digestive Cordial
made from tonic, medicinal roots and herbs,
is the most natural cure for indigestion. 1t
relieves the symptoms and cures the disease
gently, naturally, efficiently, giving fresh
life, strength and health to sick dyspeptics.

"What have you done?"
"I have sawed and split all mothers

"Well, sir" answered the boy, after

Il TALL SOVEREIGN.

In the resting place of the old kings
of Denmark, the Cathedral of Rose
kilde, there is column against which
number of monarchs have been
measured, and upon which their diff
ferent heights are recorded.
One of them is Peter the Great,
and we learn by this means the ship
wrecked Gear measured no less than
80 Danish inches, equivalent to six
feet ten inches in our measureme
Only one another of the sovereigns
was taller, and that was Christian I,
of Denmark, who according to this
authority was just a trifle over six
feet.
The late Gear Alexander III, was
about six feet one inch, or nearly a
couple of inches taller than Christian
TX, of Denmark, and about four
inches taller than King George of
Greece, neither of whom nevertheless
is what would be called short man.
It is worth noting that in the same
ancient cathedral where this column
is to be seen, Saxo EXAMINATIONS, the
Danish historian, from whom Shake
speare borrowed practically the en-
tire plot of Hamlet" lies buried.

chine, and the citizens won by 10000

contest, but Gan implacable and un-
compromising warfare made by hon
est citizens upon the bribe- takers,
the blackmailers, the corruptionists,
the iobbers and the robbers that have
been running the city government for
vears.u The Republicans joined with
the league under the lead of ex-Gov.
Yarmouth, and the negro vote was
thrown almost solidly with the league.
In the state election, held the same
day, the Democratic majority shows
a heavy falling off from that in the
last two presidential years.

THOMAS B. REED.

The Republicans of Maine gladly
Join their brothers in other states by
presenting to the Republicans of the
nation for nomination to the presi
dency, the Speaker of the National
House. He needs no platform save
the record of his life.
Under his administration, as public
efforts conspicuously show, would be
restored that Republican policy of
protection taught by Lincoln, illus
trated by the signal prosperity of the
country for 80 years and rounded out
by the reciprocity of Blaine, a policy
which would be adapted to the bust
ness of the country and adjusted with
care from time to time to the changed
conditions. Then, with confidence
and prosperity restored, the revenue
will be made adequate to the support
of the government, and the issuing of
bonds ostensibly for the maintenance
of the redemption fund, but really to
meet the deficiency, will cease.
He is opposed to the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver except by in
ternational agreement, and until such
agreement can be obtained he be-
lieves the present gold standard
should be maintained.
He has always been uncompromis-
ingly for the maintenance of the
highest national credit by the utmost
good faith toward the public creditor,
not for the creditors sake, but for
the nations sake, for the sound
reason that the most valuable posses
sion of any nation in time of war or
distress, next to the courage of its
people, is an honorable reputation.
Whoever pays with honor borrows
with ease. Sound finance and certain
ty at the treasury, and protection for
the producers, will mean prosperity
and peace.
He favors measures for the restric-
ton of immigration. He favors a just
administration of all pension legisla-
ton, and is an earnest friend of Amer
lean shipping and it's returning to it's
former rank in the world.
He stands for the preservation of
the national honor at home and
abroad. Under his administration the
party can say with him,
"And when the time comes, as it sure
ly will come, for us to lead this land
back to those paths of prosperity and
fame which were tried under Repub-
lican rule for so many years, we shall
take back with us our ancient glory
by adversely, our ancient
honor unsullied by defeat"

The North Troy C.E. society recent
ly held a social at the home of Rev.
Mr.. Wallace, not only for social pur-
poses, but that SINE plans might be
formed whereby better work could De
accomplished for the Master. The
prayer meeting committee reported
that a special effort had been made by
them during the past month to aid in
the meetings and work of the society.
At a meeting which this society held
for the purpose of special prayer,
thought and planning work, they
made their requests of the other MEM
bers of the society, viz, that a COM
mittee meeting be held once each
month. That each member spend
few moments in secret prayer before
attendance at the regular meetings.
The society take as their special mot
to for the coming month, "Whatso-
ever We do in word or deed, do all in
the name of the Lord Jesus"

many societies in the county will do
something in the line of grove meet

addresses and not too many.
Again let mo say that every Q. E.
society should see to it that every
item of news is sent to the correspond
ent promptly. Otherwise he must
drop his work, for his time is too val
liable to be spent in looking up inter-
esting general items, when it is not
necessary. viii not the societies at
tend to this?
