For the benefit of all we give the
following remedy, having tested it
thoroughly and never having known
it to fail in asingle instance with flux,

small quantity of whisky, say about

peat the dose. We never knew the
second dose to fail. It is simple
and a trial will convince the most
skeptical of the efficiency of this val-
uable remedy.—Decatur Tribune.
A singular accident occurred re-
cently in Virginia, when a resident
of Farmington procured an empty
whisky barrel for the purpose of con-
verting it into a cider barrel. He
took the barrel to a blacksmith shop
and attempted to enlarge the bung-
tole with a red hot iron. As the
iron entered the bung the gas in the
barrel exploded, tearing the barrel
to atoms, killing the owner, and seri-
ously injuring the blacksmith. Even
an empty whisky barrel is danger-

A NEW CONSTITUTION
Several papers In the state arc discus
sing the question of a new constitution
The one under which we are now mis-
governed is a very poor excuse for one.
It was framed by a convention In which
were many bright intellects, hut which
was not even fairly representative of Ihe
ability of our state, and at a time when
our people were suffering a reaction
from radicalism and were themselves rad-
ically democratic. Tbe main idea ap
pcared to be to gel rid of everything that
hud been adopted by the republicans, and
the result was a constitution of far less
merit thau the one adopted liy the repub
lican convention lu 1868.
Of the many defects, these are the most
prominent: The homestead provision is
almost unintelligible. It has placed unrea-
sonable barriers on legislation; it is In
many things variable at the will of the
legislature, and worst of all the system of
courts provided by it is utterly inadequate
to the needs of the country and practi-
cally amounts to a denial of justice. It
may be a long time before the new con-
vention will be called, but it must come
sooner or later, and the sooner tbe less
will be the confusion arising from our
present system of courts.
PUBLIC ROAD*
There Is no subject of more Importance
to a community than the one of public
roads. Without roads property is value-
less aud society is destroyed. By the
roads of a county you may Judge Its peo-
ple—their intelligence and refinement,
and the civilization—even the moral worth
of a people. Good roads arc necessary
to any advance—to the enjoyment of life
and the transaction of business. They
can now be laid off and maintained.
They should be as nearly In straight lines
as possible. And private convenience
should always be made to give way to
public good.
Great efforts will continually be made
to chaugc roads, but this should seldom
be done and only when It Is clear that
tbe public will not be losers by the change.
A straight road, by frequent changes can
be made Tcry crooked, and If our com-
missioners court roadily yields to each
demand for a change the result will soon
be that we will have no roads, or that the
distances will be greatly Increased and the
road splaced on the worst possible grounds.
Let us keep good roads. Tbe public
need good roads. Every citizen Is inter
ested in having good roads. A couutiy
without goods is not worth living In.
Fannin county is still iu the lead.
A lady living near Ravena-eight miles
north of the city, gave birth last
Wednesday night to five children
all hoys. The name of the parents
is Thompson, and the father
informs us that he has named the
boys respectively Cleveland, Hend-
ricks, Bayard, Mann’ng aud Cheno-
wetli. Mother and boys arc doing
well.

LOCAL MATTERS.
IHE JOE EDWARDS CASE
Joe Edwards and Frank Holland mur-
dered John Hays in September, 1873, as
he was on his way home from a camp
meeting. The murder was committed on
Little Duffau. Holland was convicted
and sent to the peuitentiary for life, and
Edwards made his escape from the
Stephenville jail, and has been a refugee
from justice ever since. Sheriff Gilbreath
arrested him on June 16, 1885, in the In.
dian Territory. The difficulty occurred
over a child, tbe son of Hays. Hays had
been lu tbe Southern army, and was cap-
tured and taken north. He was absent
seven or eight years. On Ills return be
found that Holland had married his wife,
and he made an cffoit to get Ids child,
and Joe Edwards, ’the brother of Mrs.
Hays, and lloltnnd the Inst husband, mur-
dered Hays In cold blood by shooting him
through the bead. He died instantly.
One witness swore that he saw Holland
and Edwards running after Hays, heard
tbs report of the pistols, and saw Hays’
liorse jump out from behind the brush
after Hays had been shot down. No one
saw the deed committed, and the evi-
dence is circumstantial only, but of very
strong character. , The murderers were
so sure that no one was near them at the
time the murder was committed that the
citizens had no trouble In making the
arrest tbe next morning. The Edwards
case has occupied the’ court ncurly all the
week, C. K. Bell acting as special judge,
and Messrs. King, Neill and Humphreys
attorneys, appointed hy the court.
Although they received no pay for their
work, yet it must be said that they plead
as earnestly for him as if they Imd re*
cnived a large fee.
Tbe case was decided Thursday morn-
ing, the Jury giving Edwards a life sen-
tence.
