The hard times seem to prevail every¬
where. It is euid there are more than a

try everywhere, and the distress among
the poorer people at the north and north¬
west, where the cold has been severest,
is reported as being terrible. Those who
cling to the “red hills” of Georgia may
not enjoy all the luxuries which wealth
can bestow, but they can at least always
have good health, good homes and hap¬

The Atlanta artesian well is now over
1,400 feet deep, and has cest the city a:-out
815,000. No flowing stream lias yet been
reached, and the people are fast becoming
discouraged about it. We trust, however,
the well may prove a success, because it
is so much needed. They cannot afford
to abandon it now, and must go on with
the work still further. It may be they
are already near the coveted prise of a
bold and flowing vein, and we hope they
will still press downward with the work
until it is reached. If so, we hope they
will he amply rewarded for all their La

Mr. David Long, of Jasper, who died re¬

from Jasper county, to pay some small
debts he had left behind. Now that he
is dead, is there any mat living who
would do that to-day ? W# rather think
there are probably about 1,500,000,000 of
people in th<s world who would go as far

Insanity is demoniac possession when¬
ever it assumes a violent or vicious form.

Should Mr. Ingersoll accept the chal¬
lenge, Mr. McMillen agrees to he*l the
sick and cast out devils oy the method
pointed out in th* scriptures, and to that
end he will allow Mr. Ingersoll to select
any insan* or sick person. It is certainly
to be hop*d that Bob will accept, as w*
would like to see th* devils cast out some

might get a permanent job in almost any

Our board of county commissioners have
be*n sued on a claim for $500, which was
for the analysis of the stomach of Stev*
Morris, the negro who was poisoned in
Covington, last summer. The claim ap¬
pears to be an excessive one, but we are
not prepared to say it is not right. The
analysis was mad* by Prof. John F. Bon¬
ne!!, of Oxford, assisted by President W.
B. Bonnel), of the Georgia Methodist Fe¬
male College, and was done by order of
the coroner and his jury, Th* analysis
was necessary to determine the cause of
Steve Morris’s death, and without it the
conviction of Nancy Morris and Dan Lyon
would, in all probability, have been im¬
possible. The claim is certainly a just
one ; but, whether it is excessive or not,
we are not prepared to say. To one who
is not familiar with the labor and expense
of such an analysis, however, we are
free t* confess it appears to be rather ex
horbitant.
For County Commissioner.
We are authorized to announce Mr. J.
C. Aiken, of Snapping Shoals, as a candi¬
date for county commissioner, to fill the
vacancy in th* board caused by the fail¬
ure of Mr. J. B. Meadors to qualify, the

! There is nothing in the lin* of Magic or
I mysters about that popular medicine,Par
j ker’s Tonic. It is simply the best and
most scientific combination possible of
tbe essential principles of those vegeta¬
ble curatives which act powerfully and di¬
rectly on the stomach, liver, kidneys and
blood. But there neither is, nor will be,
any successful imitation of it. It is all
time curing those who had despaired of
ever getting well. For yourself, wife and

His Loss was Her Gain.
“Well madam," said a fashionable physician
to a wealthy lady patient, “if you don’t like
my prescriptions, perhaps you had better try
Barker's Tonic, or some other quack stuff.”—
“You don’t mean it, doctor,” she answered,
"but your advice may be good for all that.”—
Sometimes what you call “quack stuff” is the
best and most scientific medicine, after all. —
She got a bottle of Parker’s Tonic and it cured
her of neuralgia arising from disordered and
nerves. She told her friends, and now they
all keep a doctor at home in the form of Par¬
ker’s Tonic.

Better than She Expected.
Your letter received. In reply I am happy to
say that Parker’s Hair Balsam did much more*
for me than you said it would, or than I expec¬
ted. My hair has not only quit falling out, but the
bald spots are all covered, and all my hair has
grown thicker, softer and more lively than it
was before my sickness a year ago. Thank you
again and again. Extract r from letters^of Mrs.
R. W. T., West Fifty-third street, New York.

for twenty-five years, and this spring had used more se¬
verely than ever before. She many
remedies without relief, and being urged t<j try

gratifying results. The first bottle relieved her
very much, and the second bottle has absolutely
cured her She has not had so good health for
