HE'LL OF A NOISE BUT NO WOOL.

Dear Sir: 1 decided to write a few
lines to you and the readers of The
jeff, to let you all know that you
have some staunch friends still liv-
ing in Paulding County yet, men
who have been tried and found true
to the principles of Jefferson. l have
been close student of the recent
TRADE of abuse heaped upon you by
F. L. Seely of the Georgian. What
fuss and stink he has made; he re-
minds me of the fable of the devil
shearing the old SOW He'll of
noise and no wool. Anyone having
the instincts of a gentleman or lady
can see that he has done a good job

Executive. | would suggest that
Seely and Smiths friends bury them
and erect to their memory a mon
ument built of jackass SOULS as high
as the highest telephone pole; such
a shaft would be true emblem of
their past lives.
Now word to the readers and
friends. Let us all line up in one
solid phalanx, behind our leader,
the Hon. T. E. Watson and help him
fight for square deal. We all know
he is our friend. With cordial best
wishes to you and all the rest.

TO THE FRIENDS OF THE JET
PERSONALS.

Will you continue to lick the hand
that smites you? To the friends of
the Hon. Thos. E. Watson; to you
who know that Mr.. Watson has been
fighting your battles for years, single
handed and alone; to you who know
that Mr. Watson has been belied, os-
tracised and persecuted; to you who
know that no other man of Georgia
has ever had the courage to labor
under such disadvantages and make
such sacrifices as Mr.. Watson has
made for the cause of the people,
You know, or ought to know, that of
all the reforms that have been placed
on the statute books of Georgia for
the last twenty years was first advo-
Gated by Mr.. Watson. You know
that the Democratic party of Georgia
has adopted nearly every plank of
the Populist platform and most of
them have been enacted into law and
placed on the statute books of GeOr-
gia; you know, too, what the Demo-
Gratis said of Mr.. Watson and his fol-
lowers when they were demanding
these reforms. They were called
lunatics, fanatics and anarchists.
When Mr.. Watson tried to speak to
the people he was howled down in
some places, rOtten-egged in other
places and would have been put to
death had it not been that they were
afraid of Mr.. Watson's friends. Now,
in the face of all these facts, know

American Awarded Medal
On a Rupture Device

Mr., F. J. Stuart, an American residing
in ST. Louis was recently awarded a
of merit of the first class, by a London
Institute. Mr.. Stuart is inventor of the
STUART PLAS-TR-PAD for rupture.
Letters patent have been granted by
many governments on this form of
Hernia support, and medicine applica-
tor. The purpose of this support is to
securely hold the rupture in place, and
remedy thereto which will be taken up
and absorbed by the pores to heal and
relieve the parts Of pain When pat
ent was granted in Great Britain, Mr.
Stuart also obtained the Medal and
Diploma. Truss wearers will no doubt
appreciate an invention of such ex-
ceeding worth as to merit such notice.
BY addressing Mr.. Stuart at ST. Louis
Mo-, those interested will probably be
furnished full information.

There Is q large number OF poison
Gus plants IN the United States which.
on account OF their limited area Of
growth. and sometimes of the uncer.
tainty OF our knowledge concerning
their evil effects. are comparatively
little known. All poisonous plants are
not equally injurious to all persons
nor to all forms OF life. The United
States Department OF Agriculture has
gathered information concerning those
that are well known and widely spread
In growth. The well known poke root
