An Alcohol Exhibition.

Paris, Nov. ia unique exhibition
opened in Paris to-day. It's purpose is
to stimulate interest in the commercial
consumption of alcohol and promote
the popular demand for that fluid, of
which France is now producing a
greater quantity than ii can find a
profitable market for. Alcohol engines
and motors, suited to stationary pow
er plants, navigation or the propulsion
of horseless carriages, constitute the
most important part of the exhibit.
There are also numerous and interest
ing exhibits intended to demonstrate
the suitability of alcohol for incandes-
cent lighting, and for household use.
The exhibition continues ten days, and
at its close prizes will be awarded by
the Minister OF Agriculture.

Those Georgia editors and other less

tunate enough to be in Savannah last
Friday afternoon as the guests of Col.

reception accorded them by that hos
pitable, big-hearted gentleman. They
were treated in just that royal man
ner which has given Savannah the rep
utation of being the most hospitable
city in Georgia. No money and no
efforts were spared to make every
guest-from the country publisher who
writes and sets type for every line in
his paper 10 the journalistic nabob
who merely directs the work Of hum
dreds Of employes-feel perfectly free

Extraordinary Cure
A Statement Given by Thos.
c. Half of Belleview, Fla,
the well known Merchant
and firm of Hall Bros.

This is to certify that have been
afflicted with a very severe case of
structure for the last twenty years and
have suffered untold misery / hav.,
been treated by over fifty physicians
in the states of Florida and Georgia,
some of them recommended to me as
being the very best physicians in the
South. They have used all forms OF
trea tment, some of them even operat-
ed upon me and came very near kill
ing me At last they gave me up and
! started for New York to have sur
gical operation performed by a spe-
ciaHst who was recommended to me by
these different physicians. While in
Savannah l was recommended to con-
suit DIR. ]. Newton Hathaway, a spe-
cialist of that city, before going to
New York | did so but with little
faith. However, after talking with the
doctor 1 somehow felt as if he were the
man I had been looking for, as his con-
fidence in his ability to cure me seem
ed to be sure and positive, so | placed
my case into his hands for treatment,
and to my surprise and delight in a
very few days | commenced to get bet
ter and after about two months treat
ment / was discharged thoroughly
cured and have not had any trouble
whatever since that time. The pleasant
part of the treatment was that i was
not under any surgical operation
neither was there any amount of pain
caused by the treatment This I con-
s.dert wonderful. and l certainly be-
lieve if all persons who are suffering
with structure could avail themselves
of the skill of DR.. Hathaway that they
would save themselves much suffering,
besides a great deal of expense. ]
was advised by a large number of reg
ulaI' physicians that DR.. Hathaway
could not do anything for me, there
fore, while I had heard of his reputa-
ton, l would not come to see him be-
cause of their statements. wish,
however, now that / had gone to him
when l first heard of his reputation.
l write this testimoniay for pur-
pose of benefiting humanity, regardless
of my personal feelings in the case.

A MERRY RuRGLAR.

Augusta Herald Recorder Picquet
will try the case against W. E. Tuck
er, colored, charged with a 460th vio-
lation. Tucker, on last night, tried to
forcibly enter several residences on
Greene street At one place Tucker is
said to have tried to push a lady out
of the way when she opened the front
door. The young ladys brother ap-
peared on the scene, and the negro
took leg bail. He was captured after
a chase and turned over to the police.
Tucker was well dressed when brought
in, and denies that he tried to forcibly
enter the houses. saying that he made
a mistake in a place he was hunting.
A concealed weapon case is also dock
eted against the negro. Attorney Hen
ry Hammond represents the defendant.
Cedartown Advance Courier: Charles
H. Garner, a white man, was found
Sunday last in an unconscious condi-
ton between Aragon and Longs sta
ton on the Southern Railway track in
this county. He is said to have been
drinking heavily Saturday night, and
the presumption is that he went to
sleep on the track and that a train
came along and killed him. Coroner ].
o. Crabb went down Tuesday after
the man died, Monday night, and en-
paneled a jury, which made a verdict
to the effect that he was killed by a
Southern train. Garner was a laborer
and worked on a farm near Taylors-
Vile. we are informed. Whisky was
the cause, it seems evident.
