the cost o! transportation eats too deeply into the
farmer’s gains.; Hence, -he prefers transforming
beef, or other stock, that he may drive it to

saving thus made, be saves by the diminished cost
to him of what be bays, while the merchant’s profits
are unchanged. For, as the wagoner or the farm-
can haul more, with no greater fatigoe to his
team, be can afford tat haul at less per hundred
pounds, and make more money. As the charges
the merchants pay are leas, so be can afford to sell
for less; and this, on Salt, Iron, Sugar and Coffee,
will be a considerable item to any one having a
family.
Thus, Mr. Editor, we conceive that Athens and
the country above as are identified in interest.
Both need and ought to build the two road* which
it has been the object of these articles to advocate.

three years emco 1 was attacked with Rheumatism
my shoulders, ami also in my legs, and so severe was
the pain, tliat I was unable to sleep. I tried all of the
best medicine* I could bear of witlwut receiving any
benefit, nntil through tlie advice of a friend I procured
some of your Sarsaparilla, and after using four bottles
in the course of fifteen day*, I found myself entirely
well. I liavc no hesitation in saying your Sarsaparilla
ia the best medicine I ever took, and can confidently
recommend it to my friend* and the public.
Your obedient servant,

Messrs. Sands,—Gentlemen,—I have great plea«ure
in acknowledging to you the great benefit I nave re
ceived from the me of your Sarsaparilla. A subject of
pulmonary disease, I made a voyage to Europe, but
while there continued to be afflicted. A few weeks
after my return, I was seized with a violent hemor
rhage of the lungs, and from the debility and great
prostration of strength tliat followed, with the protract
ed difficulty of respiration, I am entirely relieved by
the use of your Sarsaparilla, which I consider a most
important and truly valuable discovery in the healing
art. I feel that I have not for fourte ! *
so good health as at prescut.
.Very gratefully your*,
