AYER’S
Hair Vigor
restores, with the gloss and freshness of
youth, faded or gray hair to a natural, rich
brown coioi, or deep black, as maybe desired.
By its use light or red hair may be darkened,
thin hair thickened, and baldness often,
though not always, cured.
It checks falling of the hair, and stimu
lates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It
prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. As a Ladies' Hair Dressing, the
Vigor is unequalled ; it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
Mr. C. P. Bricher writes from Kirby, O.,
July 3, 1882 : “ Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, and in a short time 1 became
nearly bald. 1 used part of a bottle of
Ayer's Hair Vigor, which stopped the fall
ing of tlie hair, and started a new growth. I
have now a full head of hair growing vigor
ously, ami am convinced that but for the
use of your preparation I should have been
entirely bald.”
•T. tV. Bowen, proprietor of the McArthur
(Ohio) Enquirer, says ; ‘AVER’S Hair Vigor
is a most excellent preparation for the hair.
I speak of it from my own experience. Its
use promotes the growth of new hair, and
makes it glossy and soft. The Vigor is also
a sure cure for dandruff. Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction.”
Mr. Angus Fairbairx, leader of the
celebrated “ Fair bairn Family” of Scottish
Vocalists, writes irom Jioston, Mass., Feb. 6,
1SS0 : ” Ever since my hair began to give sil
very evidence of the change which fleeting
time procuretli, I have used Ayer’s Hair
Vigor, ami so have been able to maintain
at; appearance of youthfulness — a matter of
considerable consequence to ministers, ora
tors, actors, and in fact every one who lives
In the eyes of the public.”
Mrs. o. a. Prescott, writing from 18 Kint
St., Charleslmni, Mass., April 14, 1K82, says:
“ Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair
came off. It thinned very rapidly, and I was
fast growing bald. On using AVER'S Hair
Vigor the falling stopped and a new growth
commenced, and in about a month my head
was completely covered with short hair. It
has continued to grow, and is now as good as
before it fell. 1 regularly used but one bottle
of the Vigor, hut now use it occasionally as
a dressing.”
We hare hundreds of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of AVer’s Hair Vigor. It
needs but a trial to convince the most skepti
cal of its value.

APPLYING THE PARENTAL SLIPPER
(Rev. James Freeman Clarke]
If we really believe in the Republican
party, the best thing that we can do for it
Is to defeat it at this election. Whom the
Lord loveth He chasteneth. We must
show our love for our party by helping to
Inflict on It such a chastisement as may
bring about its reform. Its defeat now, un
der Blaine, may cause it to succeed hereaf
ter under a better man.
On the threshold of what promises to be
the foulest and rottenest political cam
paign in American history, the Herald
protests against the polutionthat impends.
From that loathesome contest it will not
be Grover Cleveland or James G. Blaine
who will emerge stained, bedraggled and
shamed face. It will be the America.i peo
ple. Wo can by one such conlliet plant
the seeds of immorality in this country so
deep that a century of penitence will not
suffice to uproot them. We can make our
selves the scorn of the world. We can dis
grace the American name and character
forever.

Senator Bayard thinks that New York
is safe for Cleveland, and he says that
West Virgin*- and New Jersey are safe
also. _
It is stated that seventy millions of dol
lars have been invested in Southern manu
facturing enterprises during the last six
months.
Gov. Cleveland receives, it is said, fifty
requests a day for his autograph, and has
two babies named after him every twenty-
four hours.
The true cause of so many divorces is
the fact that most men choose a wife as a
child does a doll—no matter if her head is
ffiied with sawdust.
The sensational newspapers are full of
the latest Blaine scandal. Whether the
naughty stories are founded on solid facts
or not the democratic party do not need
them, and they should be dropped.
Gov. Cleveland's short term of public
service in civil affairs turns out, by com
parison, to have been longer than that of
Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and of
Samuel J. Tilden, before their first elec
tion to the Presidency.
Gov. Hendricks’ Letter of Accep
tance.—It is brief and to the point. It is
all that is necessary. He favors the Dem
ocratic platform and at the proper time
as has been heretofore stated, will take the
field in support of its principles and the
party. _
The improvements, and adornments, be
ing made to the business rooms of Mr. W.
J. Brake will attract attention. A hand
somer bar, with attachments in the rear,
we do not believe, can be found in any city
In Gcorgfa. He lias spent several thou
sand dollars on store, and stock. Read
his advertisement elsewhere.
The Darien Timber Gazette says: Mr.
Davidson is a gentleman of rare ability
and true worth, and in honoring him Ills
district could not select a better man.
Should nothing prevent him taking his
seat in that august body, no one would
adorn the highest seat in the gift of its
members with more dignity and ability
than Richmond’s gifted son.
Sad and Sudden Death.—Frank B.
Armstrong, son of Mr. John F. Armstron
of Augusta, some time since was sent up
to Mr. J. A. Benson’s place in Washington
for ttie purpose of improving his health
which had of late become precarious. He
was a bright youth 12 years of ago, and in
telleetually developed powers beyond his
years. Returning home a few days since,
lie died suddenly in the passenger coach
near Barnett.
English sparrows appear to be loss num
erous than formerly in most of the cities
into which they have been introduced.
Their decrease is attributed to the shoot-
ting proclivities of tlie small boy with the
Alabama sling and to the fact that tlie
birds are beginning to be fond of country
life. When they become plentiful in the
fields and woods it may very easily be de
termined whether they do more good in
the destruction of insects than they do
harm to the crops. This appears still to be
an open question.
Southern Cultivator.—We have re
ceived the September number of this ex
cellent farmer’s monthly. It is a splendid
number. All the best writers on Agricul
ture in the State contribute to its columns,
in the Poultry Yard department we find
an artiole from C. G. Wilson telling how
he gained the victory over the mites. As
some of our.farmer friends have express
ed a desire to see a copy of the Southern
Cultivator we will keep this copy in our
office to show to any person who may de
sire to see It. We will club tlie Southern
Cultivator witii the Union A Recorder for
three dollars. Let ail who desire to make
this arrangement call early.

The Quincy Herald describes the man
ner in which General Logan joined the
church as follows: “In 180.1 he was run
ning for congress. There is a strong relig
ious sentiment in Southern Illinois, and
the prevailing theme is Methodism. Dur
ing the campaign it was urged as an objec
tion against Logan that he was not a pro
fessor and had never joined the church.
He was in Washington at the timo and
when ho learned that the fact was strong
ly inlluential against him he telegraphed
the pastor of the church at his home in
Carbondale to place his name on the roll
of membership and he would be baptized
and subscribe to the faith as soon as he
got home.’’ _
The Cleveland Plain-Dealer, tlie only
Democratic journal in Northern Ohio, and
one of the most influential papers in the
West has this to say of Hon. George T.
Barnes:
The Democracy of the Augusta (Geor
gia) district have nominated as their can
didate for Congress, the Hon. George T.
Baines. We have tho pleasure of a per
sonal acquaintance with Mr. Barnes, hav
ing served with him in the Democratic
National Committee for four years. In
that body he stood deservedly high, being
a conservative member, a clear thinker
and a good speaker. His old associates on
the committee are gratified at the honor
conferred upon him, and are satisfied that
if he Is elected to Congress he will make a
useful and Inlluential member.

One Thing the writer of these lines
never did, since he put uis first ballot in
the box, near forty years ago, go back on
the Democratic mother. Wright or wrong,
It mattered not, the wrong wo couldn’t
see, if wrong there be. It was our politi
cal mother, and wo fought for her wnen n
boy as we defend her now as a man. The
man who sails on pleasant seas and nev
er sees a s'.orrn knows nothing of lire’s
beauty or duty. Some men love to pick
flaws in family or other relations. They
would cut the shine out of tlie diamond, if
they could—they would stop the great
Sun in its grand course from day to day—
they would, like Ben Butler and Dana,
pull down the pillars of the temple and
crush all human work and human hopes
to gratiry their Inordinate self-love.
Among the articles In the North Atneil-
can Review for September, three in partic
ular merit the sorious consideration of ev
eryone who studies the tendencies of our
government. The leading one is by Bish
op J. Lancaster Spalding, who Insists that
the only sure, “Basis of Popular Gov
ernment” is morality, not culture or the
intellect, nor universal suffrage, nor the
development of material resources; and
that If the country is to be saved from
ruin, there must be a return to the uncom
promising moral code of the founders of
New England. The policy of “The Exclu
sion of the Chinese” is advocated by John
H. Durst, who presents a striking array
of forcible and original arguments against
Mongolian {migration. Four distinguish
ed writers on political economy, namely,
David A. Wells, Thomas G. Shearman, J.
B. Sergont, and Prof. W. G. Summer, set
forth, from nearly every conceivable point
of view, the “Evils of the Tariff System
and it is announced that in the Review for
October several writers of no less distinc
tion will exhibit the “Benefits of the Tariff
System.” The other articles in the cur
rent number are “The Demand of the In
dustrial Spirit.” by Charles Dudley War
ner; “Inspiration and Infalibility, ”
by the Rev. Dr. J. H. Rylance: “The
Need of Liberal i Divorce Laws,” by
Elizabeth Cady Stanton; and “Our Remote
Ancestry,” by Prof. Alexander Winchell.
\ son of Gen. John A. Logan, a cadet at
West Point, Is now on trial by a court
martial, charged with profanity and lying.
HOW IS THIS?
The Atlanta correspondent of the Savan
nah Times says;
I had a talk the other day with Hon. J.
T. Henderson, the State Commissioner of
Agriculture, and he made one statement
that was so startling that I have decided to
pass it around.
“Does farming pay in Georgia?” I asked
him.
“I; does not,” he replied.
I was so dazed that I did not venture an
other question for a moment or so, and
then I remarked inquiringly;
“You do not print that sort of informa
tion in your reports?”
“No.” he said. “It would discourage
everybody.”
“If it is truth, I would print it,” I an
swered. “Do you mean to tell me,” I ask
ed, “that a man must, in Georgia, trade or
or work at a trade to make a living?"
“Well,” said the Commissioner, “it is
nearly that way. In spite of the reports
in |tbe Comptroller-General's office, I am
convinced tiiat every day the sun sets it
sets on a poorer people than when it rose.
The increase in wealth' is the increase in
towns. Georgia must change her policy
before she can claim any true prosperity.
Our lands have been bled with cultivation
until they have lost their power, and they
are not being reclaimed. We have sapped
our life-blood out and are doing nothing to
restore the lost vitality.”
"What must lie done?”
“The farmers should at once every one
begin a system of reclaiming with pea
I vines and clover wherever the latter will
grow. That done with judgment and per-
j sistence the State will again blossom like
a rose.”
On the subject of labor, the Commission
er lias some very pronounced views. He
says education ruins negro labor, and
he laments the disappearance from the
face of the earth of the old-time darkey, in
whom a man could put his faith. Of the
modern educated negro he says many
promise but few turn up. He regards the
solution of the negro problem as an incom
parable bigger thing than the tariff ques
tion.
We believe that Judge Henderson Is
right:
The cursed protective tariff has done the
work. Every tiling that the farmer and
his wife and children wear, every instru
ment that he uses in plantation work,
every article of furniture in ills house from
a sideboaid to a tin plate, Is taxed so heav
ily as to cost twice as much as it should.
The tariff sweeps away every dollar he
can rake and scrape and has been doing it
every year for 26 years. He has been rob
bed to penury, and yet some of our papers
have been telling him and still tell him that
tlie tariff has been a blessing to him all
the time, and these farmers in some sec
tions, have been pouring out their money
to make these papers rich and cursing the
papers that have been defending and tell
ing them the truth. Some of them have
stopped the Union and Recorder for telling
how they have been wronged. They were
offended because they were warned.
We have nothing to unsay, or disavow,
which we have heretofore said. The truths
wo taught are coming home by degrees to
the bosoms of the people. The errors of
high tariffites are being exposed. The
leaders we condemn, not the people who
followed. We should as soon think of
warring upon the dead as upon them, for
they have not examined for themselves.
As always heretofore, they had confidence
and relied upon their representatives, with
out examination, they havo relied upon
them and the papers they took, but the
old time is buried, the old leaders are
dead, and the papers that once taught tar
iff was a curse tell them now, as the mor
mons teach, that a new revalation has
come from somewhere (we hope they will
not say from heaven) which teaches that
Morrill, Hoar, Pig Iron Kelly and all tlie
rest of tlie high tariff mongers, are the light
and soul of the political altar and throne
of America. Free trade England is a
fraud, and America, even the Southern
States, go forth to all countries and tribes,
kingdoms and tongues, as the advocate of
the glorious doctrine that all the people
shall be taxed 45 per cent upon an aver
age to enrich tlie lords of the loom, the
furnace and the mine, as the political
tithes gatherers of the chartered confeder-
tion of this free land of the Occident.
BRIEF BITS ABOUT GEORGIA'S DEAD
STATESMEN.
Perhaps there never was a man so frail
in body, but so full of humor, as Alex
Stephens. We had to set up his great
speeches before and after the war, made
in the old Capitol of Georgia, and he al
ways wanted to read his own proof-sheets,
not wiLh great Bucceas either. He was a
bad speller and worse proof reader. After
i his famous speech in Milledgeville, just
before secession, he got the writer to bring
him the proof-sheets to his room In the
Milledgeville Hotel. We found him and
his brother Linton alone. Mr. Alex had a
cane pipe stem in his mouth, the pipe rest
ing on the water stand six feet to the front.
As we entered he politely beckoned us to
a seat, and invited us to take a pipe, short
er than the one lie was puffing at. After
a few preliminaries we remarked—"Mr.
Stephens, this Is the grandest effort of
your life, but I can’t see how you and
Mr. Toombs can be friends, politically,
any longer. I would be proud to be able
to father such a speech as yours. It would
send me to Congress.” Said Mr. Stephens
in reply, “Young man, If you want to go
to Congress, learn to sing some good songs.
It has been my great misfortune to have
no music on my tongue. If I could sing
songs like “Rack back Davy daddy shot
a bar, shot him in thp eye ball, never
touch a liar; and Old King Cole and Clar
de Kitchen Ac, Ac. I could be President
of this probable disrupted Union,” We
were so amused at the pleasantry of the
great man and so lost to business that
we cut off an important paragraph on the
proof-sheet to light our pipe, and had to
get a duplicate. Mr. Stephens thought it
pure carelessness, but on telling him that
we were so charmed by his conversation
as to forget our business, he (always open
to compliment) said, “tomorrow will do-
corue again.”
Thoughts on the Liquor Question.
Gen. B. F, Butler’s Pronunciamento.
General Butler’s eight-column letter is
out before the country. It is a dexterous
and able exposition of his views upon pub
lic affairs and places him fully before the
people as a candidate for tlie Presidency, of
the Greenback, Labor, and Anti-monopo
lists parties. He denounces the Democrat
ic and Republican parties as unworthy of
the support of the people, untrue to the
principles of our revolutionary fathers,
and unfit to guard the tights and safety of
the people. His letter is ingenious and
well calculated to deceive many who have
not made themselves acquainted with the
real status of the great leading parties of
the country. Nearly all the objections he
urges against them are true in their appli
cation to tho republican party, and every
one of them untrue as to the democratic
party. It is difficult to conceive how he
can charge the democratic party with be
ing untrue to tho laboring classes, and in
favor of the monopolists, when in its plat
form adopted at Chicago, it makes the In
terest of labor one of the leading meas
ures of its support, and denounces monop
oly in unmeasured terms. His insincerity
is grossly manifested as to his support of
the laborers and opposition to monopoly,
by his declarations In favor of the protec
tive tariff, which Is ths chief originator of
monopoly, and chief cause of the depres
sion of labor throughout the country. In
this he emasculates, nullifies and destroys
his oft repeated declarations in favor of
sustaining labor and in opposition to mo
nopoly.
Using Stimulants to Excess.
Many persons who use whiskey or bran
dy to excess have complained of the Ina
bility to check the habit. With the exer
cise of a little firmness this is easily ac
complished. We will suppose that one has
used a gill a day at first, but soon he
wanted a little more, and by degrees the
habit increased until he wanted two or
three or four gills, which becomes an ex
cess. To check the habit all he has to do Is
to take a little less a day. Forinstance.lt
lie has taken as much as a pint a day, let
him take 3% gills a day for a few days.
This he can easily do without inconven
ience; after a week or more let him reduce
the quantity to 3 gills and thus continue
the reduction every week or two, until he
will require only 2 gills. At times if he
may require a little more, let him add a
half gill for a short time and then go back
to Iris reduction to 2 gills, and thus alter
nate between 2% to 2 gills. Two gills to
many persons will not be too much aud
may be a positive benefit. When one lias
got to the excess of a quart a day it will
be more difficult to reduce, but still he can
reform by this process of reduction. It
will not bo so easy to accomplish when he
lias gone to that excoss, but the necessity
for reduction will be greater. We state
this as it was told us by an acquaintance
who used these stimulants without excess
or harm, for many years.
NOT SO.
Bro. Knowles of the Greensboro Home
Journal is too old a bird to be caught by
William Moore’s chaff in the Augusta
News. See here;
Mr. Henry W. Grady lias abandoned all
interest in the Constitution, and has given
up his legitimate literary work. He is
now solely engaged In the base-ball busi
ness, and is writing a book on the great
game. He will gather together a picked
nine and will travel all over the United
States.
Only a day or two ago the Constitution
described Mr. Grady’s room in the new of
fice, aud gave the amount of his share in
the e:\aMishment.

The action of iue County Court In re
gard to the sale of liquor on the Sabbath,
In this city, which came up before Judge
Ramsay last Tuesday, caused quite a rip
ple and much comment pro et con. As
faithful journalists we cannot permit so
important an event to pass entirely with
out notice, especially as it has been the
topic of conversation for the past week.
It lias been said, and we admit the force
of the assertion, that ardent spirits fill a
peculiar want in the nature of many men,
and they are bound to have it, and if not
openly and under the protection of the law,
then secretly and in violation of law.
Those who want It in prohibition counties
find a way to get It. This is the strongest
argument of liquor men, and some states
men who have at heart the Interest of the
country declare that the best way to man
age the evil, is its license by and responsi
biiity to the law. If this be true, then the
law is the liquor dealer’s best friend. The
laws in regard to the sale or liquor aro
probably stringent enough and only neod
a wise and strict enforcement. If liquor
is not sold on Sunday, nor to minors, nor
to intoxicated men, then its power for
harm is limited. The iaw is enforced in
our city against the men who drink.
Our efficient mayor does not allow any
disorderly conduct on our streets. Then
why not enforce tlie law against those who
sell? It is said this is the first offeree and
one hundred dollars and cost is rather
steep. Perhaps so. We learn a petition to
reduce the fine has been signed by many
of our good citizens. Whatever shall ii
nally stand as the judgment of the court
as a just vindication of the law should be
satisfactory. We certainly do not desire
that unnecessary hardships should be
placed upon liquor dealers. Reader, did
you ever see a man who wanted a drink
bad? If you should listen to his appeal
and had ttie means of relieving his distress
you would be apt to yield. A man far
gone in this indescribable thirst would
soli his soul for one drink. Liquor dealers
are usually liberal, obliging men, and it
Is no doubt bard ifor them to resist the
Importunities of a man, dying as he thinks
for a drink. But of all men, liquor deal
ers should be most Interested In obeying
the law. Almost every violence that oc
curs is laid at their doors—nearly all dis
turbances of the peace are said to be the
result of whiskey and when trouble and
expenses occur, a cry is raised against the
saloons.
Some of our property owners and busi
ness men think that our liquor trade
brings prosperity to our town.
We earnestly desire the prosperity and
happiness of our community and have la
bored faithfully on that line for a quarter
of century. If profits are to be made in
the liquor business, we dare say no more
clover men can make them than those en
gaged In the business here. Many persons
have said to us that they would favor
State prohibition, but were opposed to
county prohibition—or sectional legisla
tion. As we said above there are many
people who will have liquor by fair means.
If possible, or secretly, unlawfully. If nec
essary. There is a demand for it that will
be supplied somehow, let temperance peo
ple say wliat they may, and only so long
as It can bo obtained in commercial cen
tres by fair and legitimate means, will its
smuggling and secret sale be avoided.
Prohibition exists in over ninety counties,
and others are falling into line, Jackson
county being added by vote of Its people,
only last week. Every county that adopts
prohibition adds to tho business of those
counties which still retain the right to sell
liquor, and those places which adhere
closest to tlie law will longest survive to
supply the demands of the trade.
We have not sought the discussion of
this question, and we are glad that it has
not entered, and will not enter, into the
political campaign now in progress. It
should be kept out of politics, and stand
alone on its own merits.
In these few thoughts on this much talk
ed of subject, we have spoken in a spirit
of kindness and fairness. If hereafter we
may allow our columns to be used in the
discussion of this subject we shall allow a
fair hearing on both sides. There will be
no difference of opinion on the points we

Recent deaths in the county are as fol- j
lows:
Mrs. Ida V. Kelly wife of Dr. T. J. M.
Kelly died at her residence in Gibson on
the 31st of July, after a protracted illness
of 76 days, in the 18th year of her age.
Mr. Willie Mayo a most worthy young
man, a citizen of Johnson eounty, died on
the 4th inst. He left a wife and one child
besides a largo circle of relatives and
friends to mourn his loss.
Salina Waters died of congestive chill
on Tuesday, eight years of age. She ar
rived here on Friday from South Carolina.
Mrs. Eliza Jordon died suddenly at her
residence near Davisboro, on Friday night,
aged near 78 years. For many years she
has suffered from a dislocation of the hip,
and was unable to walk only on crutches.
Sho was iu usunl liealtli on Tuesday morn
ing. Her children and friends have the
sympathy of the community in their be
reavement.
A handsome LeConte or Sand Pear was
shown us a few days since by Mr. A. Mof
fett grown on the truit farm of Mr. W. H
Parsons near town. Ho informs us that
four trees, four years old, bore this
year iifteea pears. Tlie raising of this
fruit will prove a valuable industry In this
country if our soil proves to be as well
adapted to their growth as tho counties of
South Western Georgia.
Worse and Worse.
Eighteen thousand persons are out of
work at Fall River by the stopping of the
mills. Secretary Howard says there is no
perceptible effect as yet. It is not time
yet. The trouble will come later. The
merchants feel the trouble at once. One of
them says, “the Shove mills workers have
paid him heretofore $600 a week; this
week he said it has amounted to only $200,
which is quite a falling off I should say”.
An effort is being made to represent the
workers as being pretty well satisfied. A
good many of ;them have gone blue-berry
ing. One said “there are a plenty of ber
ries. A good many or the men go fishing
and clamming.” The Secretary admitted
“there is much deep poverty in this city,
more than most people are aware of, but
they are a generous people and help one
another.” This Is good as far as it goes,
but eighteen thousand people dependent
on their daily labor, with all their kind
ness, will not be able to do much for one
another when all of them are out of work.
The berries and fish they may catch, will
help some, but those people are bound to
suffer. Protection don’t protect.
IIOW RALEIGH WAS KILLED.
A Frightful Affair at Lumber City
Yesterday Morning.
From tlie Tel. & Mess., 24th.
A telegram was received in Macon yes
terday morning announcing the killing of
Mr. A. V. Raleigh, better known as “Gus”
Raleigh, conductor on a freight train of
the Macon and Brunswick railroad, and
well known in Macon as a railroad man.
The particulars in the telegram were very
Indefinite and gavo rise to a number of ex
aggerated stories.
A later telegram stated tiiat tlie remains
would reach Macon iate in the night.
Yard master Flournoy telegraphed at once
for Mr. Walter Raleigh, a brother, living
in Eufaula.
On the arrival of tlie train last night
about 11 o’clock, our reporter obtained the
following facts:
The train of which Mr. Raleigh was con
ductor was on its way to Macon, and was
due at Lumber City at 10:45 yesterday
morning; At that point it was necessary
to drill some oi’ the cars to be left there,
and the enginG took off the cars and ran
upon a side track, which, is about half a
mile from town. A negro named Eli Tay
lor, who has been wharfman and freight
house hand for many years, disputed with
Conductor Raleigh as to tlie switch, the ne- ;
gro insisting upon setting it for the track
he wanted tho cars to be run on. Seeing
that the negro was determined to set the
switch according to his own way, the con- i
ductor jumped off tlie engine and set the !
switch. Some words followed, in which
the negro was very saucy and impudent.
The conductor then picked up a small stick
and advanced toward Eli, who picked up
a lightwood knot and dealt tlie conductor
a terrific blow on the forehead. This blow
knocked the conductor down, his head fail
ing upon the track almost immediately
under the wheels of the car, which was be
ing pushed by the engine. In a second
the wheels were over the head of the
stunned man. causing instant death.

An Sad to Bone Scraping.
Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg. 111.,
says: “Having received so much benefit
from Electric Bitters, I feel it my duty to
let suffering humanity know it. Have had
a running sore on my leg for eight years;
my doctors told me I would have to have
the bone scraped or leg amputated. I us
ed, instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters,
and seven boxes Bueklen’s Arnica Salve,
and my leg is now sound ami well”.
Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cents a
bottle, and Bucklen’s Arnica Salve at 25c.

A TRAGEDY IN ATLANTA.
Eugene Robinson Killed by Charlie
White.
Atlatxa, Ga., August 23nl.—At 10
o’clock three pistol shots were fired near
the railroad entrance of Mercer’s restau
rant. The shots were fired by Charlie
White, a young man, at Eugene Robinson,
a well-known young man in Atlanta, (lie
son of a real estate dealer. All yet known
is that they hail had a difficulty, and Rob
inson struck White a severe blow over the
head with a stick or slung-sliot, and White
shot three times at Robinson, one shot en
tering the back, to the left of the spine, low
down. Botii are at tlie station house,

A Belgian hotel keeper is especially
“sweet” or Russian customers. “They are
large, see you, lie states; “they dispute

with me a Count—,” lie relates. “When
he arrived I was not, I returned home from
my circle; my wire was all frightened. She
cry to me, ‘Go speak to tlie Mister Rus
sian; he beat all the waiters; he is in an
ger; but what an anger?’ I asked of what
it Is question. One tells me tho Counts
lie insists that the waiters take him off his
boots. They are brave Belgians; they will
not. He 6trike them and say stern follies!
I had courage, I; I feared mo not of him.
I go to his room, and say,’ Mr. the Count,
I am tlie proprietor; what will you?' ‘Sir,’
he say. ‘I will thank you pull me off tho
boots!’ My first sentiment is de lui allon-
ger uneclaque—to give him a smack; but
I master myself and say, ‘Wait only two
minutes. Mr. the Count; I have an order
to give.’ So I run to riiy wife and tell her
to give me my dress-coat, my gloves gray-
pearl, my gibus, my pantaloons black. In
two minutes behold me, of great tunue. I
go back to the Count: I say him, “Only in
dress of gala can the proprietor of this ho
tel takeoff your boots.’ and, my faith, I
take him them off in one, two! He raise
himself, bow himsolf, and thank me very
politely. By and by, in three weeks, lie
ask for his bill. I inscribe on it as extra,
‘To taking off Mr. tlie Count’s boots by
the proprietor in a dress coat and gray-
pearl gloves, 100 francs.’ He frown his
eyebrows when he read that, but he not
say one word. He pay that addition Integ
