P. P. P., Lippman’s Great Remedy, Saves
a Man From Becoming a Cripple.
Mr. Asa Airmens, a well-known
citizen of Jacksonville, Florida, was
afflicted by a terrible ulcer. Medical
t-ikill seemed unavailing' in stopping the
ravages of the terrible disease. The
leg was swollen and intensely painful,
as the ulcer had eaten its way down
t<» the very bone. All medicines and
treatments having failed to effect a
cure, the doctors said the leg must
come off. Just when it seemed that
Mr. Ammons would become a disabled
and a crippled man, he tried I’. P. P.,
Lippman's Great Remedy, and the re
sult was wonderful.
P. P. P. SAV?IS HIS LEG.
“ Jacksonville, Fla., -July 1, 1895.
Two years ago 1 had the worst ulcer
on my leg 1 ever saw. It had eaten
down to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was
swollen and inflamed. The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharged a
most offensive matter. My physicians
said I had necrosis of the bone, and
my leg would have to come off. At
this stage 1 commenced to take P. P. P.
and to bathe my leg with hot eastile
soap suds. It began to improve at
,once and healed rapidly, ami is to-day
.a sound and useful leg.
“ I think P. P. P., Lippman's Great
Remedy, is all a man could ask for as
a blood purifier, as 1 have known it to
cure so nieterrible cases of blood poi
soning in a remarkably short time.
"ASA AMMONS.”
TERRIBLE BLOOD POisON.
The body covered with sores—two
bottles of P. P. I’. made a positive and
permanent cure. This is only one of
many thousand similar eases.
Catarrh yields at once to P. P. P.
That smothered feeling at night, that
heavy feeling in the day—can and
should be removed ; P. P. P. will do it
if you only give it a chance.
Indigestion and constipation go hand
in hand. Headaches and total loss of
appetite are the results. Regulate
yourself and tone up your stomach
with P. P. P.

CELESTIAL VISIONS, j
CONTRASTED V/ITH THE DIMNESS
OF EARTHLY EYESIGHT.
Dr. Talmsgo Deliver® a Vivid Discourse ;
on the Splendora of Heaven. Which the
• Mortal Mind Cannot Conceive—Problem*
of Life and Mysteries of Providence. i
(Copyright. IS9B, by American Press Asso- !
Washington, March 6—This discourse I
of Dr. Talmage is one of mighty contrasts
and the dininetts of earthly eyesight, as
compared with the vividness of celestial ;
eyesight, is illustrated. The test is I,Cor- ;
inthlans xiii, 12.‘‘For now we see through
a glass, darkly, but then face to face."
The Bible is the most forceful and pun
gent of books. While it has the sweetness !
of a mother's hush for human trouble, it
basall the keenness of a sotmiter and the •
crushing power of a lightning bolt. It ;
portrays with more than a painter’s pow- |
er, nt one stroke picturing a heavenly ;
throne anda judgment conflagration. The 1
strings of this great harp are fingered by •
all the splendors of the future, now sound- !
ing with the crackle of consuming worlds, i
now thrilling with the joy of the everlast- I
ing emancipated. It tells how one forbid- ;
den tree in the garden blasted the earth !
with sickness and death, and how another !
tree, though leafless and bare, yet, plant d |
on Calvary, .'-hall yield a fruit which shall ;
more than antidote the poison of the oth
er. It tells how the red, ripe clue’ers of
God’s wrath were brought to the wine
press, and Jesus trod tbeni out, and how.
at last, all the golden chalices of heaven
shall glow with the wine of that awful
vintage. It dazzles the eye with an h.ze
klel’s vision of wheel and wing and fire
and whirlwind, and stoops down so low
that it can put its lips to the ear of a dy-_
ing child and say, ‘‘Come up higher. ’’
And yet Paul, in my text, takes the re
sponsibility of saying that it is only an in
distinct mirror and that its mission shall
l>e suspended. I think there may be one
Bible in heaven, fastened to the throne.
Just as now, in a museum, wo have a
lamp exhumed from Horcrdaneuiu or
Nineveh, and we look nt it with great in
terest and say, ‘‘How poor a light ft must
have! given compared with our modern
lamps!” so I think that this Bible, which
was a lamp to our feet in this world, may
lie near tho throne of God, exciting our in
terest to all eternity hy the contrast be
tween its comparatively feeble light and
the illumination of heaven. 'J.'bo Bible,
now, is the seaffoldin’i to the rising tem
ple, but when the building is done, there
will be no use for the scaffolding.
Finite Vision.
Tho idea I shall develop today is, that
i in this world our knowledge is oompara
j tivcly dim and unsatisfactory, but never
theless is introductory to grander and
I more complete vision. This is eminently
! true in regard to our view of God. IVe
' bear so much about God that we conclude
that we understand him. He is represent
ed as having the tenderness of a father, the
firmness of a judge, the majesty of a king
j and tfeo love of a mother. We hear about:
him, talk about him, write about him.
Wo lisp his name In infancy, and it trem
bles on the tongue of the dying octogena
rian. Wo think that wo know very much
about him. Take the attribute of mercy
Do wo understand it? The Bible blossoms
all over with that word—mercy. It speaks
again r.nd again of the tender mercies of
God; of the sure mercies; of the great
mercies; of tho mercy that endureth for
eve*’; of the multitude of his mercies. And
yet I know that tip? views we have of this
great Being are most indefinite, on 3 sided
and incomplete. When, at d ath. the gatei
shall fly open and we shall look directly
upon him, how new ami surprising! We
see upon canvas a picture of the morning
We study tho cloud in tho sky, the dew
upon the grass and the bus’ . ulman mi
tho way to the field. Beautiful picture cf
the morning! But wo rise at daybreak
and go up on a hill to see for ourselves
that which was represented to us. While
wo look the mountains are transfigured.
Tlio burnished gates of heaven swing open
and shut, to let past a host of fiery splen
dors. The clouds are all abloom, and bang
pendent from arbors of alabaster and ame
thyst. The waters make pathway of in
laid pearl for the light to walk upon, and
there is morning on the sea. The crags un
cover their scarred visage, and there is
morning among the mountains. Now you
go homo and how tame your picture of the
morning seems in contrast! Greater than
that shall be the contrast between thb-
Scriptural view of God ami that which we
shall have when standing face to face
This is a picture of tho morning that will
be the morning itself.
Christ’s Excellence.
Again, my text is true of tho Saviour’s
excellency. By imago and sweet rhythm
of expression and startling antithesis.
Christ is set forth—his love, his compas
sion, his work, his life, his death, his
resurrection. We are challenged to mcas
ure it, to compute it, to weigh it. In the
hour of our broken enthrallment we
mount up into high experience of his love,
and shout until the countenance glows
and the blood, bounds, and the wnolo na
turc is exhilarated, "I have found him!'
And yet it is through a glass, darkly. We.
seo not half of that compassionate face-
We feel not half tho warmth of that loving
heart. We wait for to lot us rush
into his outspread arms. Then we shall
be face to face. Not shadow then* but sub
stance. Not hope then, but the fulfilling
of all prefigurement. That will be a mag
nificent unfolding. Tho rushing out in
view of all hidden excellency, the coming
I again of a long absent Jesus, to meet us,
rags and in penury and death, but
amidst a light ami pomp ami outbursting
joy such as none but a glorified intelli
gence could experience. Oh. to gazo full
ppon the brow that was lacerated, upon
th3 side that was pierced, upon the feet
that were nailed ; to stand close up in tho
presence of Ifim who prayed for us on the
mountain, and thought of us by the sea,
and agonized for us in the garden, ami
died for us in horrible crucifixion; to feel
of him, to embrace him, to take his hand,
to kiss his feet, to run our fingers along
the Sears of ancient suffering, to say
“This is my Jesus! Ho gave himself for
mo. I shall never leave his presence. I
shall forever behold his glory. I shall
eternally hejir his voice. Jesus, now
I seo thee’ 1 hAb'd'J where the blood start
ed, where the tears e>Jitro<d_- where the face
was distorted. 1 have waited -or this hour.
1 shall never turn my back on thee. Iv
more looking through imperfect glasses.
No more studying thee in the darkness
But as long as this throne stands and this
everlasting river Hows, ami those garland ?
bloom, and these arches of victory remain
to greet home heaven’s conquerors, so long
I shall sec thee. Jesus of my choidb, Jesus
of toy song, Jesus of my triumph, forever
ami forever, face to face!”
The Puzzles of Life.
The idea of the text is just as true when
applied to Gcd's providence. Who bss noi.
come to some pass in life thoroughly inex
plicable? You say: “Whatdoes this mean?
What is God going to do with me now?
He tells me that all things work together
for good. This does not look like it.” You
continue to study the dispensation and.
after awhile guess about what God weans.
“He means to teach me this. I think he"
ineftQS to teach me that. Perhaps it is to
huntble my pride. Perhaps it is to inake
me feel more dependent. Perhaps to teach
me tho uncertainty of. life.” But after
all it is only a guess—a locking through
the glass, darkly. Tho Bible assures us
there shall be a satisfactory unfolding.
"What I do thou knowest not now, but
thou shait know hereafter." You will
know why God took to himself that only
child. Next door there was a household of
seven children. Why not take one from
that group instead of your only one? Why
i single out the dwelling in which there
i was only ono heart beating responsive to
yours? Why did God give you a child at
all if he meant to take It away? Why till
the cup of your gladness brimming if be
meant to dash it down? Why allow all
the tendrils of your heart to wind around
that object and then, when every fiber of
your own life seemed to be interlocked
with the child’s life, with strong hand to
tear you apart, until you fall, bleeding
and crushed, your.dwelling desolate, your
hopes blasted, your heart broken? Do you
suppose that God will explain that? Yea.
He will make it plainer than any inathe
matical problem—as plain as that tvvp and
two nfa's’e four. Tn the Tight of the tnrone
you will see that it was right—all right
" Just and true are ail thy ways, thou
King of saints!”
Here is a man who cannot get on in the
world. He always seems to buy at the
wrong time and to sell at the worst disad
vantage. He tries this enterprise and
fails; that business and is disappointed.
The man next door to him has a lucrative
trade, but he lacks customers.’ A new
prospect opens. His income is increased.
But that year his family are sick, and the
profits are expended in trying to cure the
ailments. He gets a discouraged look. Be
comes faithless as to success. Begins to
expect disasters. Others wait for some
thing to turn up; he waits for it to turn
down. Otters with only half as much
education and character get on twice as
well. He sometimes guesses as to what it
all means. He says: “Perhaps riches
would spoil-me. Perhaps poverty is nec
essary to keep me humble. Perhaps I
might, if things were otherwise, be tempt
ed into dissipations.” But there is no
complete solution of the mystery. He sees
through a glass darkly and must wait for
a higher unfolding. Will there be an
planation? Yes; God will take that man
in thfe light of the throne and say: “Child
immortal, hear the explanation! You re
member the failing of that great enter
prise—your misfortune in 1857, your dis
a ter in 1867. This is the explanation.”
And you will answer, “It is all right.”
. Mysteries cf Providence.
I see, every day, profound mysteries of
Providence. There is no question we ask
oftener than Why? There aro hundreds of
graves in Oak Hill and Greenwood and
Latin I Hill that need to be explained.
Hospitals fcr the blind and lamo, asylums
for the idiotic and insane, almshouses for
the destitute and a Yvorld of pain and mis
fortune that demand more than human so
lution. Ah, God will clear it all up. In
the light that pours from the throne, no
dark mystery can live. Things now utter
ly inscrutable will be illumined as plainly
as though the answer were written on the
jasper wall or sounded in the temple an
them. Bartimeus will thank God that he
was blind, and Lazarus that ho was cover
ed with sores, and Joseph that be was cast
Into the pit, and Daniel that he denned
with lions, and Paul that ho was hump
backed, and David that he was driven
from Jerusalem, and that sewing women
that she could get only a few pence for
m :king a garment, and that invalid that
for 20 years he could not lift his head
from the pillow, and that widow that she
had such hard work to earn bread for her
children. You know that in a song dif
ferent. voices carry different parts. The
sweet and overwhelming part of the halle
luiah of heaven will not be carried by
those who redo in high places and gave
sumptuous entertainments, but pauper
cliii'.L'. n will sing it, beggars will sing it,
redeemed hod carriers will sing it, those
who were onco the offseouring of earth
will sing it. The halleluiah will be all the
grander for earth’s weeping eyes and ach
ing heads and exhausted hands and
scourged backs and martyred agonies.
Again, tho thought of the text is just
when applied to the enjoyments of the
righteous in heaven. I think we have but
little idea of the number of tho righteous
in heaven. Infidels say, “ Your heav.en will
be a very small place compared with the
world of the lost; for, according to your
teaching, the majority of mon will be de
stroyed.” I deny the charge.* I suppose
that the multitude of the finally lost, as
compared with the multitude of the finally
saved, will boa handful. I suppose that
the few sick people in tho hospital today,
as compared With tho hundreds of thou
sands of well people in tho city, would not
bo smaller than the numbtr of those who
shall be oast out in suffering, compared
with those who shall have upon them the
health of heaven. For wo are to remember
that we arc. living in comparatively the
beginning of the Christian dispensation
and that this world is to bo populated and
icdeemed and that ages of light and love
are io flow on. If this be so, the multi
Slides of the saved will be in vast majority
A Countless Multitude.
Take all the congregations that have
today assembled for worship. Put their,
together and they would make but a small
audience compared with the thousands
and tens of thousands and ten thousanc
times ten thousand, and the hundred am '
forty and four thousand that shall stam
around the throne. Those flashed up ti
heaven in martyr fires, those tossed for
many years upon the invalid couch,,those
fought in the armies of liberty and rose as
they foil, those tumbled from high scaffold
Ings or slipped from tho mast or were
washed off into the sea. They came up
from Corinth', from Laodicea, from the
Red sea bank and Gonnesaret’s wave,
from Egyptian brickyards and Gideon’s
thrashing floor. Those thousands of years
ago slept the last sleep, and these are this
moment having their eyes closed, and theii
limbs stretched out for the sepulcher.
A general expecting an attack from th<
Snemy stands on a hill and looks througl
a fieldglass and sges in the great distance
multitudes approaching, but has no idei
of their numbers. He says: “I cannot tel
anything aboufrthem. I merely know tha
there are a great number. ” And so John
without attempting to count, says, “7
great multitude that no man can number.'
We are told that heaven is a place c
happiness, but what do we know abou
happiness? Happiness in this world i
only a half fledged thing—a flowery path
with a serpent hissing across it; a broke;
pitcher, from which the water has droppei
before we could drink it; a thrill of* ex
hilaration, followed by disastrous reac
tions. To help us understand the joy o:
heaven, the Bible takes us to a river. We
stand on the grassy bank. We see tho wa
tors flow on with ceaseless wave. But the
filth of tho cities uro emptied into it, and
the banks are torn, and unhealthy exhala
tions spring up from it, and we fail to gel
an idea of the river of life in heaven.
The Reunions of Seaven.
We get very imperfect ideas of the re
uijions of heaven. We think of some festal
day on elrth, when father and mother
were yet living, and the children came
home. A good time that! But it had
this drawback—-all were not there. That
brother went off to sea and never was
heard from. That sister—did we not laj
her away in the freshness of her young
life, never jnoye in this world to look upor
her? Ah, there was a skeleton at the feast,
and tears miqgled with our laughter or
that Christmas day. Not so with heaven’s
reunions. It will bo an uninterrupted glad
ness. Many a Christian parent will look
ground and find all his children there.
“All!” he says, '‘pap jt be possible that, we
are all here —life’s perils over? Tho Jordan
passed, and not one wanting? Why, ever
the prodigal is here. I almost gave him
up. How long he despite;] my counsels,
but grace hath triumphed. Ail here, all
here! Tell the mighty joy through the
city. Let the bells ring, and the angels
mention it in their song. Wave it from
the top of the walls. All here!”
No more breaking of heart-strings, but
face to face. The orphans that were left
poor and in a merciless world, kicked ano
cuffed of many hardships, shall join their
parents, over whose graves they so long
wept and gaze into their glorified counte
nar.ces forever, face to face. We may oome
up from different parts of the world, one
from the land and another from the depths
of the sea; from lives affluent and prosper
ous, or from scenes of ragged distress, but
we shall all meet in rapture and jubilee,
face to facre.
Many of our friends have entered upon
that joy. A few days ago they sat with us
studying these gospel themes, but they
only saw through a glass, darkly—now
revelation' hath come. Your time will also
come. God will not leave you floundering
in the darkness. Yen stand wonder struck
and amazed. You feel as<f ail the loveli
ness of life were dashed out. You stand
gazing into the open chasm of the grave.
W-alt a little. In the prosnppe pf your de
parted and of him who carries them in his
bosom, ypn shall soon stand face to face.
Oh, that our last hour way kindle up with
this promised joy ! May we ire tjble to say,
like the Christian not long ago, departing,
“Though a pilgrim, walking through the
valley, the mountain tops are gleaming
! from peak to peak!”, er, like niy dear
friend and brother, AJfred Cookman, who
took his flight to the throne of God, saying
in his last moment that-which has already
gone into Christian classics, “I am sweep
ing through the pearly gate, washed in the
blood of the Lamb!”
MACON NEWS MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 7 1898.
CUNNINGHAM
OHM
He Makes an Estimate on the
Yield of Fruit This
Year.
TWO THOUSAND CARS.
Something About the Work of the
American Fruit Growers’
Union and Rates.
Mr. John D. Cunningham, of Marietta,
was in the city yesterday.
John D. Cunnigham is net only the
largest individual peach grower in Geor
gia, but is also president of the American
Furit Growers’ Union, with headquarters
at Chicago.
The outlook for the peach crop this sea
son Colonel Cunningham thinks, is espe
cially encouraging.
“I am glad to say that the prospects for
a heavy crop,” he said, “were never bet
ter or brighter. The trees seem full of
vitality and have more fruit buds on them
than I have seen for years. The recent
cold weather has retarded the blooming
to such an extent that I do not believe
they will be in full bloom before March
15. Os course we cannot consider the crop
until as the middle of April, but the grow
ers hope that we will have no damaging
frosts in that month. You know there is
an old saying that March blooms are never
killed, especially when they bloom in the
dark of the moon; this saying, however,
I am sorry to say, is hot always true, but
as a general rule, when peaches bloom late
in March we have a crop.
“Considering the fact that our last full
crop amounted to 935 cars of peaches ac
tually shipped, and the fact that since
t.hen millions of young have reached bear
ing age, I believe that we will ship not
less than two thousand car loads of peach
es and two hundred cars of grapes; as to
melons and other fruits I am not so well
posted, but it is estimated that six thous
and cars of melons win be shipped. Esti
mating the net sales of the peaches at
only SSOO per car,-the . crop should bring
one million dollars, the grapes not less
tham one hundred thousand dollars, and
the melones at SIOO per car, six hundred
thousand dollars, a total for these three
main kinds of fruit, of one million seven
hundred thousand dollars. If the value of
the pears, apples and large quantities of
strawberries and small suits could be as
certained and added*to the above, I believe
that it would make a grand-total of not
less than two millio<n dollars.s When it
is considered that practically all this
money comes from the north and west,
coming in midsummer when everybody
is hard up financially, business dull, and
money scarce, you can appreciate what a
great blessing a fruit crop is and that a
failure of the crop is really a public ca
lamity adding, as it does, such an im
mense amount to the net circulating me
lium and to the wealth of the state.”
Speaking of the work of the American
Fruit Growers’ Union, Mr. Cunningham
said:
“Improper distribution undoubtedly
’auses greater losses to fruit growers than
ill other causes combined. I have known
a difference of S2OO per car to exist in
markets as near together as New York
ind Philadelphia, in the sale of identically
the same kind and grade of fruit. One
market was overstocked, the other under
nipplied. Often I have known good mar
kets to be practically bare of peaches for
two or three days, while other markets
were glutted, then attracted by high quo
tations in the bare market, an over-supply
would be rushed into it and instead of get
ting good prices, the glut would cause
□rices to tumble until the grower got noth
ing and a good market was ruined for a
•veek or two. It is an easy thing to break
t market down but a very difficult matter
to get it up again. Generally nothing but
a eessasion of shipments for several days
will bring it back to where its prices
would be with a full supply of fruit, had
■he market never been glutted. The won
der is that with such a hap-hazzard sys
tem of shipping in the dark and trusting
o luck, all the southern fruit growers
'□ave not been bankrupted; that they are
.'airly prosperous speaks volumes for the
possibilities of the business. If handled in
i systematic and business like manner,
vhile it cannot be said that the American
Fruit Growers’ Union during the two years
>f its existence, has succeeded in perfect
’y and evenly distributing the fruit crops,
•et it has been signally successful in mak
ng the distribution of shipments from
those sections where the union handled
he bulk of the crops near enough perfect
to enable it to avoid glutted markets. It
is manifestly impossible for the union* to
make a perfect distribution of shipments
from sections where the greater part of
the crop is shipped dlscriminately and
without system. The best we can do is
to keep posted as to where these outside
shipments are going and so direct the
shipments of our members as to avoid
such markets as they may be glutting.
“Do you not fear an over-production of
peaches here in Georgia?”
“Thirty years ago last month my father
planted the first commercial peach orchard
ever set in Georgia. It consisted of 40
acres. I remember well how he was told
that he wauld never be able to find .a
market for such fruit, and ever since then
I have hear the cry of over-production,
ffeally I don't believe, with proper distri
bution we are in much more danger of
over-production than we were at that
ime. Statistics show that in addition to
he rapid increas? ip ou’r population, that
□ur urban population is increasing at a
/cry much more rapid rate. This in con
ifction with the fact that hundreds of our
■larkcts have never received any Georgia
'caches, as well as the* fact that it has
een shown that we can, when necessary,
sport our peaches to Europe confirms me
n my belief that every acre o! suitable
land in our Georgia fruit belt could be
-afely and profitably planted in peaches.
You must remember that pature has prac
tically given us’ a monopoly of the market
for fine early peaches. They cannot be
successfully grown anywhere in rhe United
States any earlier, if as egrly, as |n Geor
gia, and the sections that ean compete
with us in the early kinds are very limit
ed.
“Will there be any reduction in the
peach and grape rate from Georgia this
season?”
“I hope so, The principal reason given
by the railroads heretofore for not giving
us better rates and service to the eastern
markets was that they claimed the vol
ume of business was not sufficient to au
thorize them in making fast schedules at
less rates than are now in effect, and as
soon as the fruit crop is assured we pro
pose to make careful estimates of the crop
and sybnijt ehm. with evidence that the
eastern rates are- too high, to the rqte
committee of the associated roads and 1
have strong hones that they will grant a
material reduction.
“M e are not complaining about the
rates or service to the western markers.
Not only is the rate per mile much cheaper
than to the eats:, byt the service much
better than to the east.”
