A Failure,

She shines like a diamond when dressed for
the ball,
With twelve button kids, her low corsage and
all;
She can dance like fairy and sing like bird
And play any card game of which she has
heard,
But out in the kitchen, where victuals ara
cooked,
Where groceries are left and improperly
booked,
She shines-this fair singer and dancer and
firt-
Like last years potato, all covered with
dirt.

he was 'ossa ct pellis, prefer nj

What Shall We Do.

A serions and dangerous disease pre-
walls in this country, dangerous be-
cause 50 deceptive. 1t comes on slow
ly yet surely that it is often firmly
seated before we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which NAV
be divided into three distinct stages is,
First, kidney trouble, indicated by
pain in the back, rheumatism, lumba-
go, frequent desire to urinate, often
with burning sensation, the flow of
urine being copious or scant with
strong odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches
the Second stage, or bladder trouble
with heavy pain in the abdomen low
down between the navel and the water
passage, increasing desire to r-inate
with scalding sensation in passing,
small quantities being passed with diff
hculty. sometimes necessary to draw
1T with Instruments. If uric acid or
gravel has formed, it will prove dan
gerous if neglected.
The Third stage is Bright's disease.
There is comfort in knowing that

der specialist, has discovered remedy

ION the railroad between Chat
tahoochee river and Austell dur
ing the past eighteen years, forty
one persons have been killed, four
teen in one wreck. This might
properly be called a bloody road. ="
The above from your last issue
reminds us that it is wonderful
that there are not more wrecks
and more deaths on this seven
miles of road than there are. The
old Georgia Pacific and East Ten
nessee NOW Southern) coming to-
gether here, both doing a large
freight and passenger business.
There is hardly an hour in the
day SShat there are not two or
three trains here. The register
here often shows 35 trains from Z
a. m. to Z p. M, aud about the
same number pass during the
night, except the locals, which re-
duces the number by four. All of
these trains pass over a single
track from here to Peyton, several
miles beyond the Chattahoochee
river. The track along Nickajack
creek is a beautiful but dangerous
place, the road being on sharp
curves and the creek often rising
nearly to the rails. This is run
under the block system, no two
trains being allowed between sta
lions at the same time. A train
must pass Middleton before the
one following leaves here. The
mentioned above was caused by
an operator allowing a train to
pass Middleton while another was
taking water at tank which then
stood near the seventeen mile
post. This tank was abandoned
and new one put up here. The
Southern believes in moving
things; their trains back out to
Peters Street slowly, then run
slowly to North avenue, taking 10
or Is minutes. and including this
makes the run out here in As min
utes. The run from here to Simp-
son street has several times been
made in 30 minutes, without
stops.
Marshal Brewer is generally in
the right place. Last Friday
night Southern freight came in
and he walked down beside the
train. He soon discovered ne
gro carrying off armfuls of coal.
He arrested the negro and after
wards found that nearly car
load of coal had been thrown off
the train between the trestle and
town. At the trestle the train
either broke loose or was cut
loose-probably the latter. While
it was being recoupled the parties
got on and threw off the coal.
The quantity shows that there
must have been quite a number of
them and other arrests will prob
ably follow. Mr.. Brewer and de-
tective Connally of the Southern
are working on the case. The
road has long been annoyed by
coal thieves at this place. On the
same night Mr.. Brewer arrested a
jewelry thief from Atlanta. He
was carried back there on the first
train. SITTER.
