Card of Explanation.
My account with Gibson A Boyd, at my
-request and in the presence of Boyd, has
been examined by two gentlemen of high
standing and competent accountants of this
city. The names of these gentlemen can be
had by calling on any of my friends. These
gentlemen request that their names should
not be mentioned, as they dislike to figure
in newspaper articles. They find charged
tome January 12, 1878, a check for9710.00,
given to J>avis Stringer for 120 acaes of land,
the deed and numbers of acres correspond
ing with copy of check. They also find my
account settled In full after said charges. I
also requested Boyd, In presence of these
gentlemen, that If there was any false or
crooked entries of any description in
the books or any charges he had
against mo that required an explanation,
to make it known, as mutual friends
to both of us these gentlmen would inves
tigate any and all complaints ho had to
maKc in regard to my accounts while con
nected with him. He stated that he had
no charges to mane at that time. I also
publish certificates published by Mess Slade
A Etheredge, which accounts for the lands
owned by me. I gave Gibson A Boyd a
mortgage on tho land first mentioned to
secure the firm for the money advanced to
pay for the land, which mortgage was can
celed on the 31st of October, 1878, at office
In OpellKa, and tho amount charged to my
account as above stated. As It was agreed
that my Interest in the profits of the busi
ness was sufficient to pay said mortgage
These explanations nnd certificates attach
ed, explans how I came in possession of
this extensive landed estate. My object
In going Into details In this matter Is to sat*
Isfy the community
I now leave the ommunlty at large to
form their own opinions and let tho future
take care of Itself.

to J T Gibson. He mnde Rome alteration

A Change That to a Blee.tng.

practice, than Is Illustrated by the con
trast of the medical system of to-day
and thirty years ago. Then all medi
cines wero copious In quantity and
nauseous to the taste. To take them
was a trial to adults, and an over
whelming horror to tho young. Now
most doses are small and concentrated,
and free from ofl'ensivo flavor. Until
reeontly, howovor, one of tho most
valuablo and efficient of remedies was
detestable to noarly all for whom it
was prescribed, Cod Liver Oil, the
only euro for wasting decllno of vital
energy, and certain moans of renewing
lioalthy tissue, disgusted those to
whom it should hnvo dono the most
good. Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver
Oil with the Ilypopbosphltos of Limo
and Soda removes this only objoctiou.
