Atlanta JoarnaL
I bare spent this week in Marietta.
Although I have been busy preaching
twice a day in the revival meeting;,
have had time to visit with friends, of
meeting many people of If arietta sooi
Ally, and to ride around over the town,
I am charmed with her people and
wonder at the growth of Atlanta's near
est rival. It has been some yean since
I have mingled much with the people
here or known much of their growth
and development. I believe . the next
census will show Marietta to have
population oi ten tnotuand or more
people. 8a many elegant homes are
being builded at this time.
It is a pleasure and a Joy to mingle
socially with men like Senator Clay,
B)b Northcutt, Moultrie Sessions; men
tike "Power, Awlrey, Glover, Brumby,
MoClatcby, Boone, McNesl, etc. Not
only has this been a week of work, but
it has been a week of great pleasure to
myself and wife, and a week of great
religious enjoyment, for scarcely in my
life have I witnessed such scenes as
have occurred in the great warehouse
where the meetings are held day after
day.- The feuds and factions which
have existed in this town for yean have
been swept away and Marietta no
doubt, will have a unity of sentiment
and feeling in all things, which will be
a mighty factor not only in building
op the town in every way, but it will be
elevating and helpful to the churches
and moral sentiment.
The meetings have been largely at
tended and so universally enjoyed that
they matt leave a bleesed influence on
the hearts and the homes of the peo
ple. Hundreds of people from Atlanta,
Carteraville, Acworth, Smyrna, Boswell
and the regions round about, have come
a and have enjoyed the wonderful in
fluence at work here.
Politics divide men and frequently
engenders strife, but Christianity is a
peace influence, for the Prince of Peace
iti author. How good and how
pleasant it is to' see brethren dwelling
together in nnity, and whatever shall
make for peace among men, is the di.
vinest and beet influence that can come
to ns. We are frail mortal beings and
left to ourselves we frequently go astray,
but when the higher and better influ
ences pervade our lives, it makes as not
only akin to each other, but we realise
that Qod is our father and each man is
brother to the other.
The blacksmith preaoh r from Knoz'
ville, Tenn., has been a mighty force
in this meeting in his prayers and ex
hortations. It is a unique service he
holds in the park at 6 o'clock every
afternoon."-He is about as rough on
grammar as he is on the devil. He is
a charming personality and instructs
yon while he amuses you. And when
he tells the people they "his more !
sense about religion than anything
else," they laugh at his grammar, but
feel the force of the truth he has uttered,
When he tells them "Tekel, thou art
weighed in the balanoes and found
wanting,",they know he means to quote
a great Scriptural truth without any re
ference to Mr. Tekel.
Evangelist Holoombe, of North Car
olina, . is a clean, winsome, splendid
preacher. He has captivated the peo
ple of this town. The more they hear
hinf and see of him, the more they are
impressed by bis effective preaching
and the closer they are drawn to his
kindly heart. Charlie Tillman has
sung hinisslf hoarse, but he still beats
the air with his hands and make the
others sing and the welkin ring. A
finer and a larger choir I have scarcely
ever bad in music In fact, the people
have been of one mind and one spirit.
here has been less criticism, fault- And -
ing and sucking in this meeting than
in any I have ever conducted. Every
fellow seems to fall in line and to catch
step, and they are marching day by day
to higher and better things. Mrs. An
nie Laurie Cunyus, of Cartersville, has
sung her way into the hearts of the
people. Van Bell, the Christian engi
neer, was with us in two services this
week. His talks to the people made a
profound impression. Van Ball has
run his engine through this town three
hundred and sixty-five days in the
year for more than twenty years. His
life is one continual sermon, loved by
the railroad men and he has also gained
the confidence and esteem of all the
people along the way. 9
It is well enough that now and then
we turn aside from business and from
politics and the things that produce
friction and care and anxiety, and turn
the heart and mind to energies which
minister to the soul and help the life
and elevate the world. Ba tineas hss
its place, politics are a necessary evil,
it seems. But there is something bet
ter than politics, better than dollars,
better thai position, a oonscienos void
of offense, iLs love and esteem of your
neighbor, the approval of God. All
these things should be sougnt after, as
the summon bonums, for at fifty-eight
years of age, I affirm that my eyes have
seen enough of life to to know that after
all then is nothing true but heaven,
and that if we only have the thftgs of
this life, and nothing more we are sure
ly of all men most miserable.
I shall carry away from Marietta most
pleasant memories and friendships
which I trust shall last when the stan
have gone out and when we shall enter
the world that his no need of the sun.
Next to my hope of heaven, I value my
friends. My friends have always bien
tome, what the crutches -are to the
cripple, the means of walking, and
otherwise. I could not have walked at
all. I had rather lean on one trusted,
tried friend than fight and conquer
thousand enemies. Marietta has had
a peace conference; the protocol has
been signed and peace terms have been
agreed npon, and there will be no riots
upon the streets of this town because
pesos terms are unsatisfactory, like Ja
pan and Buseia have Just gone through,
I wish I could see Atlanta as. univer
sally under the influence of and
marvellously moved by the Divine
power as I have seen this beautiful
young city.
With best wishes along this line to all
the race of man, I am,
Yours very sincerely,
Sam P. Jones.
P. 8. I approve the spirit, maybe,
more than the theology of the fellow
who declared in the meeting one morn
ing, that he never knew until the night
before that there was a God or a devil,
either, but, thank God, said he, "I
know there is both now, and I love
them both." 8. P. J.

Chicago, Sept. 26 Suit began in
the Superior Court to-day for 1260,000
damages against the Curtis Publishing
Company, publishers of the Ladies
Home Journal. Samuel B. Hartman,
proprietor of the Peruna Medicine Co.,
is the plaintiff in the suit.
In the August issue of the Journal,
the declaration says that an advertise
ment of the Peruna Company contained
a testimonial from. Congressman Geo.
H. White, of North Carolina. the
next iesne of the magazine, the declar
ation alleges that the testimonial was
reprinted, but with it was a signed de
nial from Congressman White that be
had given the testimonial to the medl
cine oompany. T
This denial, Hartman alleges, was
secured through a misunderstanding,
as Congressman White, it is said in the
declaration, signed the original testi
monial.

The removal of a man's bestg heart
from his body and its replacement after
a bullet had been -.extracted from the
region adjacent to the pulsating organ
is the remarkable achievement of med
ical science Just accomplished by the
physicians st the Gennantown hospital.
The patient is Frank Robinson, 23
years old. He became a subject of sur
gical attention as the result of an alter
oafaoa he had with ..Policeman Morley,
of C ermantown, on September 7.
The policeman's bullet entered Rob
inson's left breast, directly on a line
with his heart. Hs was jjurried to the
Germantown hospitol, where, after and
examination, it was ' concluded hit
heart had been struck, and it was be
lieved he could not live more than a
few hours. .'
When he continued to live for 24
hours some of the most eminent physi
cians of the city were called into con
sulfation to find if it was possible to
open up the chest and remove the
heart for an examination. Ode distin
guished master of surgery volunteered
to perform the operation.
To carry it out portions of two ribs
had to be removed, exposing the heart
to full view. No evidence of a bullet
could be seen, so the surgeon carefully
removed tne delioate organ from the
body, and, holding it in his hands,
made a minute and thorough examina
tion.
As soon as it was taken from the
body, it was observed that the heart
seemed to beat more vigorously and
with greater regularity. Attention was
then given to the fleshy environment
in the heart region of the chest, which
was found' to be considerably inflamed.
For nearly an hour the search for
the seat of the trouble was continued
before the lodgement of the bullet was
located. The leaden missile was found
to be imbedded in the flesh within an
inch of the heart, upon which it had
caused pressure.
There hi every probability that the
patient will recover.
After Whiskey medicines.
Speaking of whiskey frauds reminds
us, too, that one of the most common
whiskey frauds is the sale as "medi
cine" of many preparations that con
tain no notable ingredients except
whiskey. It is interesting therefore to
observe that the Commissioners of In
ternal Revenue last week "reversed a
ruling of his Deportment msde many
years ago, and now decides that the
manufacturers and liquor dealers, and
that druggists and others handling
will have to pay the usual retail liquor
dealers' license. The Commissioner,
in a letter of instruction to collectors
of internal revenue, says that there are
a number of compounds on the market
going under the names of medicines
that are composed chiefly of distilled
spirits, without the addition of drugs or
medicines in sufficient quantities to
change materially the character of the
whiskey."

DON'T SPECDL1TR.
News and Observsr.
At least ninety men out of one hun
dred whs speculates in cotton lose
money. The man who thinks he knows
all about cotton may at first make some
money, but if he sticks to the gambling
(for all the cotton margin business is
gambling) he will find that "at the last
it stingeth like a serpent and bitetb
like an adder." The farmer who holdi
his cottonln the expectation of bighei
prices because of bad crop conditions
is doing the proper thing in view of the
action of the Southern Association.
The farmer who puts Up money on s
oet tuat cotton win go up is doing s
j vay dangerous thing and is very neai
the gambling line if not over the bordei
line. The professional bstters are oc
the spot and they can sell quick and
shift their position. If there is money
to be made, they'll get it, but the
farmer is at bis home and if it were
right to gamble on the pricj of cotton,
he ought not to do it because it will
work demoralization.

"Irf America we dress according to

Kansas City Journal,
A loafer on the street, whose wife
was probably at home getting out a
neighbor's washing to make money to
buy the children shoes, asked a busy
man the other day if he ever saw a
bald-headed woman. "No, I never
did," replied the busy man. "And I
never saw a woman waltzing around
town in her shirt sleeves with a cigar in
hor teeth and running into every sa
loon she saw. Neither did I ever see a
woman sitting all dry at the street
corner on a dry goods box telling peo-
how the secretary of the treasury should
run the national nuances. I have
never seen a woman go fishing with a
bottle in her pocket, sit on the bank all
day and go home druuk at night. Nor
have I ever seen a woman yank off her
ooat and say she could lick any man in
town."
