But Atropos, the dread, was other

'Why," exclaimed Atropos, eff we

GOOD FOR THE HEALTH.
Diseases That Have a Tendency (.
PrOlOng Life Rather Than
Shorten 1t.

BY curious natural law of COM
pensation various diseases tend to
prolong life and improve the general
health.
equity and rheumatic persons, it is
said, have special cause to be thank
full. Perhaps this knowledge will help
them to be more cheerful than they
usually are at seasons of festivity,
says medical authority.
Govt and rheumatism are exceed
ingly painful diseases, and, of course,
in some cases prove fatal, but they
confer many blessing upon man
kind; and rheumatism particularly
is well known to doctors as q pre-
ventive of many other diseases. It
is notorious fact that equity SUBJ
jects generally live to ripe age, and
albeit they suffer very severely at
times, they genrally enjoy excellent
general health, the very causes Of
the govt keeping their blood in good
condition.
Cases have occurred of whole
households, except one member, be-
ing stricken down with infectious dis
eases, and the lucky exception has
been sufferer from rheumatism or
govt, which alone has prevented him
from contracting the diseases which
have run through the house. Such
sufferers do not run half the risk of
catching the common illnesses that
non-sufferers run; and large pro-
portion of the people who reach ages
over four-score years are people who
have long suffered from govt or
rheumatism, to which fact they UNI
doubtedly owe many of the years
they have lived over the allotted
span.
Take half a dozen persons over
the age of 70 who suffer from
rheumatism or govt, and half a dozen
others who suffer from neither, and
you will find that, except for their
rheumatism or govt, they enjoy very
much better health than the non-suf-
ferers, and stand splendid chance of
OUTLYING the other. Moreover, govt
and rheumatism greatly enhance a
sufferers chances of retaining his
mental faculties until the end. A
large percentage of centenarians who
die with all their wits about them,
and with excellent memories of the
days of their youth, have suffered
for many years from rheumatism.
Numbers of elderly persons in
more or less feeble health are kept
alive by coughs, such, for instance,
as bronchitis. Chronic coughs are
peculiarly common to old people, and
hundreds who complain of the dis
tress caused them by such affections
are really indebted to their coughs
for their length of life. The reason
for this is that most elderly persons
suffer from weak hearts and feeble
circulation of the blood, and weak
hearts become weaker and weaker
merely as a result of their weak
ness. A constant cough corrects this.
keeps the heart beating more strong
ly than it otherwise would, and the
strong heart beat keeps the blood
circulating more quickly, and the
vital organs are thus kept in state
of activity.

The greatest sold boss" sale of I'M
claimed freight ever witnessed in
Americas was that at the Seaboard de-

of miscellaneous stuff went on the
block and was snapped up greedily by
a horde of hungry buyers.
And handsome sum was thus real

Hudson Whitaker made the sales
aud acquitted himself with credit, sue
ces sfully squeezing the last penny
from probable purchasers.
And everything offered brought fancy
prices. The crowd evidently feared
that each parcel offered would be the
last and bid accordingly, but the sale
was not nearly completed and will be
resumed again this morning with a
big crowd on hand.
There was the usual fun at the ex-
pense of many luckless buyers.
The contents of many of the boxes
and packages were unknown and the
buying was "sight unseen" the buy
ers trusting to luck,
Fred Arthur bought a neat box which
contained genuine gold bricks" which
some fakir expected to sell for a fabu-
lous sum. Col. Arthur, however, had
had no need for his purchase and threw
it into the alley.
Ed AnsIey bought a hogshead of
popcorn, made up for the circus days
OF years agone and with whiskers for
all the kernels. Capt Q. @. Clay paid
eight dollars for a case of almanacs,
Vintage of 1901, though he solemnIy

Col. Bob Oliver quit the sale in DIS
gust after paying $3.50 for an old
trunk containing baby clothes. George
Duncan bought baby's velocipede
in sack, but said he guessed he
would keep 1t.
In many instances staple goods sold
for about as much as they would cost
in stock, new and fresh, but the buyers
cared naught for that. Many of them
really secured big bargains, Col.
MerreII Galloway bought a wheel of
fortune, boxed, thinking it a rotary
showcase.
Auctioneer Whitaker will call time
in the second round this morning and
has plenty of surprises left to swap for
the cash.

The large furniture, crockery and
undertaking business of A. W. Smith,
one of the oldeet and best known
houses in southwestern Georgia, is to
be merged into stock company, the
title thereof being the "A. w. Smith

who for several years past have had
the management of Mr.. Smiths bust
ness. The capital stock will be $4,000

same to $50, 900. The heretofore large
