vention excurstpn ticket to Washington,

“Good for return passage 22d inclusive.”
Upon her return she stopped over In At

et agent there that her ticket was good
until Wednesday night, 22d. She left At
lanta on the afternoon train yesterdav.
the conductor refused to take her ticket

borrow money from other passengers to

The Chattanooga Times gives a long ac
count of an exciting adventure, last week.
In Northwest Georgia, in which a young
man recently of Atlanta was a prominent
actor. A strange negro man was arrested
by the. town marshal of Graysville, Catoo
sa county, Ga., for riding a bicycle on the
sidewalks. He protested that he was on
his way to see his sister married and was
In a great hurry; so he ottered to leave his
wheel as security for his reappearance.
This was agreed to, and he departed.
About half an hour later, C. D. Martin,
A LOSS OF $80,000,000 !!!
Labor saving Inventions or discoveries
have often been violently opposed on the
ground that they take workingmen's
bread out of their mouths. Although ex
perience has* shown the fallacy of that
theory the feeling, or fear was natural.
But it is not so much the lack of work
as the inability to work that causes
poverty and suffering. In England and
Wales every workingman averages ten
days of sickness every year, with a total
loss of wages for all of about $89,000,600 per
year. In this country the loss is much
Sreater. In all countries the prevailing
isease is indigestion and dyspepsia and its
consequences—such as rheumatism, anil
other ailments resulting from impure
blood; a result of dyspepsia.
No thorough, rapid and trustworthy
cure for this universal and obstniate mal
ady existed until the Mt. (N. V.)
Community of Shakers placed upon the
market their now famous remedy called
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. It is pre
pared from roots and herbs cultivated sole
ly by them. Nothing more certain, safe
and palatable can be imagined. It expels
the impurities from the body by means of
the bowels, kidneys and skin, and imparts
vigor and tone to the stomach—upon
whose proper action all our strength, ac
tivitv arid endurance depends. For many
years the Shakers have given earnest .at
tention to this subject, and their final
sueress Is thankfully admitted by the mul
titudes who have been cured by the Cor
dial after all other means have failed.
Their high reputation for skill as herbo
lists, for honesty and geliglous sincerity
guarantees whatever they recommend.
No Invention can ever take your work
from you if you are able to work. Health
and strength are the vital consideration.
In order to find whether the Shaker Di
gestive Cordial Is adapted to your case
try a ten-cent bottle. Its effect is imme
diate. For sale by nearly all druggists.
Lardepsia
would be a more appropriate name for tint common
cause of suffering— dyspepsia—because most cases of
dyspepsia can be traced to food cooked \y;ih lard. Let
COTTOLENE take the place of lard in your kitchen
and good health will take the place of Dyspepsia.
Try it. Every pail of the genuine

late of Atlanta, and now bookkeeper for

Company, saw and recognized the bicycle
as one that had been stolen from John
Tinker, an employe of the Chattanooga
Times, and advertised in that paper He
and the marshal, Mr. Rhodes. Immediately
started in pursuit of the negro—Martin
on his own wheel, an I Rhodes on the
stolen one. They w ere also Joined by J. M.
Vaughn, *a swift runner, on foot. The
chase was a long and difficult one. over
a rough country, and lei to Chleamauga
Park. Rhodes' wheel became punctured
and disabled, and Martin and Vaughn edn
linued the pursuit In advance. The negro
passed a fishing party on Poavine creek,
and seeing a gun In their buggy bv the
roadside, seized it and continued his flight.

overtake him he turned and snapped both
liarrelsof the gun at them, hut fortunately
it was not loaded. He then continued Ills
flight. Here Henry Warner, one of the
editorial steff of the Times, who was out
for a morning ride on his wheel to Craw
fish Springs, met the party and Joined In
tile pursuit They soon thereafter over
hauled the negro, and he again showed
fight, hut surrendered when Martin ex
hibited a revolver. Warner and Martin
took him to a negro house near by w hers
Martin left him and the pistol In charge
of Warner, and started back to meet and
bring up the marshal, who had seen the
negro with the stolen wheel in Graysvllle,
and could Identify him. In a moment when
Warner was off his guard the negro
Seized a hatchet or hammer and dealt him
a terrlhle Mow on the head, knocking him
senseless. He then resumed his flight. A
few minutes later. Martin. Vaughn, and
Rhodes came up. and were horrified ro
find Warner lying apparently lifeless, and
the negro gone. They conveyed Warner
to the residence of Dr. Johnson where Ills
wound was attended to. He was very
painfully hurt, but was doing well at last
accounts. The negro, Jim Frallx, by name,
could not he again overtaken. The pur
suing party ran over twenty miles, and
were all "stove up" at the end of the race.

SPECIFIC
For Scrofula.
“Since childhood, I have been
afflicted with scrofulous boils and
sores, which caused me terrible
suffering. Physicians were unable
to hell, me, and I only grew worse
t under their care.
At length, I began
AYER’S
Sarsaparilla, and
very soon grew bet
ter. After using
hijlf a dozen bottles
I was completely
cured, so that I have not had a boil
or pimple on any part of my body
for the last twelve years. I can
cordially recommend Ayer’s Sarsa
parilla as the very best blood-purifier
in existence.”—-G. T. Reinhart,
