WAR MERCHANDISING.
It was by I lie half-accidental coining of Blutcher that 1 lie Imperial Eagle of trance was struck to the dust on the plateau of Mount St. Jean.
The military glory and splendor that came to England by the tragic victory on the plain of Waterloo did not focus the throne of
George 111, who was both blind and insane. Wellington’s triumph was the result of chance.

OUI MR. M. G- MICHAEL, on his recent visit to New York, found the market agitated. Importers, manufacturers and jobbers were perturbed, embarrased and
distracted. Anon he was borne along with the fluctuating stream into the whirling currents and eddies, where the world of merchandise revolves. What follows describes
wifh accuracy and ticdclity the values he discovered and secured. The arrival of the goods purchased has strengthened our original array. They came like Bin toiler’s
forces, at the vital moment. The items are presented in clear, succinct, readable form for your advantage and gratification :

“We work upon this little piece of
ground,’’ says Farmer Magnet, “as
would the painter upon his picture with
nil our enthusiasm centered upon it,
knowing that we were under the eye of
Almighty God, the time who gave the us the

tion to make the la st use of our gifts.
If there lives a man who should hold
himself in communion with his Creator,
it is the farmer, for it is a calling that
brings them closer, the one who works
and the One who answers back with
good gifts.
He did not go in the cotton business,
he says, because the profits arc all to the
cotton dealer, but turned his attention
to wheat, oats, the small crops, sweet

acter, which arc always in demand.

He says also that the farmer will •Ut get ge

There is never a drouth on Mr.
net’s farm, for the reason that he has a
complete system of water works, and
when the rains do not come nt the
proper time lie turns on the hose. This
could not be done, of course, except on a
small farm. Mr. Magnet suvs that the
farmer should tie an all round man. He
must account for his time. He must

a reporter of the Atlanta Constitution,
who visited Mr. Magnet's farm. The
Constitution has been telling its readers
all along that the great trouble with the
Georgia farmers is that they are lint en¬
joying the benefits of free silver. Wo
are interest* d to note, therefore, that
not one word was said atsmt free silver
during the conversation between Mr.
Magnet mid the Constitution’s reporter,
Nor did Mr, Magnet say that lie needed

all that he asks of the government is to

we should have grant prosperity ill the
agricultural districts, and we should
hear nothing about free silver.—Rioh

The reader is ready to wiy that Mr.
Magnet, is a rich man with broad acres
who expends his surplus cash in fancy
farming for the amusement of the thing.
Not so. Mr. Magnet is a poor man,
owning a farm of only twenty-five
acres, and he and his wife do the major
portion of the work. He was a Confed¬
erate soldier and came out of the war,
like other Confederate soldiers, with
nothing but his muscle and his determi¬
nation. Georgia He 1 tought twenty-live his acres of

The yield of flour to the bushel was not

Cough remedy is given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after the

Tortured By
A Purely Vegetable Blood
Remedy is the Only
Cure.
If the people generally knew the
true cause of Rheumatism, there
would be no such thing as liui
meuts and lotions for this painful
and disabling disease. The fact is,
Rheumatism is a disordered state
of the blood—it cau be reached,
therefore, only throitgh the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease, one which requires a real
blood remedy —something more than
a mere tonic. Swift’s Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and it
promptly goes to the very bottom
of even the most obstinate case.
A foiv years ago I was taken with in¬
flammatory first, Rheumatism, which,though
mild at became gradually so in¬
tense that I was for weeks unable to
walk. I tried several prominent physi¬
cians and took their treatment faith¬
fully , but was unable to get the slightest
relief. In fact, my condition seemed to
grow worse, the pains spread over my
entire body, and from November to
March I suffered agony. I tried many
patent medicines, but none relieved me.
Upon the advice of a friend I decided to
try S. S. S. Before allowing me to take
it, however, my guardian, who was a
chemist, analyzed the remedy, and pro¬
nounced it free of potash or mercury.
