be so stroug—so good—so wise, that
the people will, during the sway of his

mine have we had such a character

accept Alexander H. Stephens with all

for timber in Georgia, or the world out
of which to carve oue.
Hear me to-day when I make the de

in my life have 1 had occasion to i
a fuller, fairer or a more decisive

made in the instance of Mr. Stephens.
The propriety, fitneen, wisdom—yea,
necessity—of his selection was fullv

In this connection I will call your at

It is, I suppose, the culmination of a

Advice to Consumptive#.
On the appearance of the first symp-
cough,
prompt measures of relief should be
taken. Consumption is scrofulous
disease of the lungs; therefore use the
great anti-scrofulous or blood-purifier
and strength-restorer, Dr. Pierce’s
“Golden Medical Discovery.” Supe
rior to Cod liver oil as a nutritive, and
unsurpassed as a pectoral. For weak
lungs, spitting of blood, and kindred
affections it has no equal. Sold by
druggists. For Dr. Pierce’s treatise
on consumption send two stamps.
