Vile 20 Enterprise says as follows:
The Slayton Jubilee Singers who APP
peared at Moore's Opera House Fri
day evening, the last entertainment Of
the Library Lecture Course, was the
grandest company of colored artists
that have ever appeared in Barnesville.
The large and cultured audience was
enthusiastic from start to finish. Each
number was encored and the program
doubled. They sang in solos, duets,
quartets and choruses some of the old
melodious plantation songs that lull the
mind into sweet peace and cause the
heart strings to loosen. Each mem Der
of the company is a musician, and they
all have rich, melodious voices and
know how to use them. GAINESVILLE
people want them to come again.

Mrs. Madison's Case.

Polk Cit., Iowa, Oct. 14.-For over
ten years Mrs. Elizabeth =. Madison,
a respected lady Of this place, mas
suffered most severely with Kidney
trouble complicated with arrangements
of the bowels and liver. rheumatism,
another painful result of derangel hid-
neys, added its tortures to her burden
of pain.
Treatments and medicines without
number were tried; physicians also
exhausted their skill, but all to no
purpose.
At this stage of the case a treat
ment of Dodd's Kidney Pills was re-
sorted to. and the results were simply
miraculous, from the very first box an
Improvement was noticed and the con-
tinued treatment resulted In n complete
cure.
This remarkable cur created a de-
cided sensation in the nelghhorhoGd,
because Of the complications Of the
case ms well as its severity and aplar-
ent hopelessness.
Upon investigation Dodd's Kidney
Pills are found to be the only remedy
that has ever cured Bright's Disease,
Diabetes or Dropsy, and these hitherto
incurable diseases are readily conquer
ed by this remarkable remedy.

WHAT The PACKER WANTS.
A Particular type of Hog Is Always Mos
Valuable to Slaughter.

valuable to Slaughter.
c. r. Reynolds, In Chicago DroVers
Journal: The farmer who is raising hogs
has a certain ideal In mind for which he
ia breeding, and which he considers Is
producing the most money for the cost.
The packer, also, has a particular type
which he fnds the most valuable for his
purpose.
These two classes should have q type or
hog In common. so far as Is possible 10
develop and produce II, for the simple
reason that the packer will pay the most
money for just the thing he wants. and,
lnversely, the farmer will realize the
! est selling prlce IN that thing tt at comes
closest to the purchasers needs.
The packer wants a hog that will give
him the most product at the least waste.
Generally speaking, the hog that VIII
dress away the least Is the one the psSksr
VIII pay the most per hundred weight for.
There arc a few outward things that
the packer considers are indications OF the
sort of hog he wants. In the first place.
he wants a small head. This means the
minimum amount OF waste. we are
using waste" In O In eral sens ami
mean by IL a portion of the hog that,
when dressed, will bring considerably less
than what it cost live weight.
Small legs are very much in favor be-
cause the smaller the leg the less the
loss in packing. To illustrate. Yester-
days best hogs sold at $3.50 per hundred
weight, but when cut up the legs are
worth only about $40 per hundred
weight. In round numbers the feet and
,ees cost the packer something like four
limos what he sells them at, Obviously,
hen, the less leg a hog has, the less losa
% the packer, and the more he is willing
10 pay for the hog.
A man cannot afford to raise stuff that
3 very much different from what the
best selling hogs are. l believe facts
will bear out the statement that the
pure-bred hog, or a cross Of well-bred
hogs comes the closest to the packers
needs, and the producers profits, of any
thing offered on the markets.

son had. given the order.
Lieutenant Francis Boughter. who was
watch and division officer on board the
Marblehead during Schley's blockade OF
Santiago, was called. He said that dur
ing that time the Marblehead and Vixen

head being stationed three miles from

He would not attempt to say how far

1T Is an odd coincidence" says the
New York Press, that In most OF the
encyclopedias and biographical works
of recent years the name OF Elihu Root
alphabetically follows that Of Theodore
Roosevelt without another name Inter-
venlng, IL Is still more odd that the
brief sketch OF Mr.. Root should convey
the information that he was counsel
for Colonel Theodore Roosevelt at the
republican state convention I'm 1899 at
Saratoga, and made an important
speech explaining Colonel Roosevelt's
reasons for Directing to being assessed
for personal taxes in New York city.
Those who feared hat Secretary Roots
strong individuality would cause his re-
