Uncle Jim Anderson, of the Covington
Star, has associated with him Mr. Henry
J. Wallis, a young man of brain, who,
judging from his salutatory, prefers to act
rather than make gaudy promises. With
Uncle Jimmie’s cool judgment, and Mr.

shine brighter than ever—and that is say¬
ing a good deal.—[Greenesboro Herald.
Mr. II. J. Wallis lias become associated
with J. W. Anderson in the publication
of the Covington Star, one of the bright¬
est and newsiest papers in the state. Mr.
allis is a native of Clayton county, and
has many warm friends in this section
who wish him an abundant success in his
journalistic career. Mr. W. is a young

“right hand of fellowship.”.—[East Point

Prof. Henry J. Wallis formerly of this

himself a name in the noble profession
which he has chosen. We cordially ex¬
tend to him the right hand of friendship,
and will, at all times, cheerfully do any¬
thing in our power to make his path a
smooth and easy one.—[Conyers Weekly.

and will assist in its publication. Mr.
Wallis goes to a strange place and among

tlemanly conduct will win for him at the
outset the positive respect of all. His ed¬
ucation is polished. While we deeply’ re¬
gret to lose him we have profound con¬
fidence in his ability to make a success of
any undertaking. He has nerve, energy
and brain, coupled with an old and expe¬
rienced journalist, he is bound to succeed.

The most important Discovery is that which

Dr. King’s New Discovery jfor Consumption,

save life, and is a priceless boon to the afflicted.
Not only does it positively cure Consumption,
but Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Asthma, Hoarse¬

How He (lot a Position.
I applied for a position in c hanking
house in Wall street six months ago, and
although I proved my competency, they
would not take me. I had been down on
my luck and looked old and shabby. An
idea struck me, I got up a new growth of
hair with Parker’s Hair Balsam, raised a
decent suit of cl itlies, applied again, and
they took me ina minute. So writes a
clerk with $2,00(1 salary. The moral is
plain. Parker’s II air Balsam gives a j>er
son a new face. 1 m.
