EVERY MAN HIS OWN DOCTOR.

The average man cannot afford
to employ a physician for every all
ment or injury that may occur in his
FAMILY, nor can he afford to neglect
them, as so slight an injury as the
scratch of a pin has been known to
cause the loss Of a limb. Hence every
man must from necessity be his own
doctor for this class of ailments.

Christmas times are being celebrated
by the boys on the streets shooting fire
crackers as this place is not in the city
limits and Chief Mosley's order cannot
be made effective.
In the city some very amusing hap
penings are going on. A beautiful
young lady not long ago took an idea
that she would make fine looking,
as well as a good soldier, dressed her
self in the garb which Uncle Sam $
boys wear, and in company with a
soldier by the name Of Atwood, went
down Market Street, calling at the
different saloons on that street, and
partaking in many social glass But
unfortunately for her and her compan-
ion her sex was discovered by the pol
ice, and they were given free ride to
the police station. The lady soldier
was held there while Mr.. Atwood was
released by his depositing SIS. Is, which
he was compelled to foreft as he was
detained in the guard house at Fort
Oglethorpe, by order of the command
or at that place. The charge against
the lady soldier was masquerading.
Miss Nellie Brown had strong de-
sire to go to Texas and be COW girl,
so she arrayed herself in male attire,
and in company with her step brother,
and another young man, started in the
early hours of the evening for the Lone
Star State, having pint of whiskey
to pay their railroad fare, and as the
train was not to start until six clock
next morning, they camped in the
railroad yards, but unfortunately the
auburn curls of Miss Brown revealed
her identity, and they were arrested
by an officer and taken to the city bas
tile, where the matter was settled sat
isfactorially to all parties.
Dr. Howard L. Jones, of the First
Baptist Church, resigned as pastor Of
that church last Sunday, having &C
cepted call to a church in Charles
ton, So. Carolina.
Since the work on the lock and dan
at Hale's Bar has stopped, the city a
times has been full of dagoes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charlie Holloway, O.
Whitwell, were in the city the first O
