PERU APS there has never occur red hi the medical history of Geor gia. two more remarkable cases of recovery from apparently hopelc.** illness, than the lads given in-low disclose. The medical profession generally, scout the projiosuion that consumption can be cured, and in controverting this oft repeated asser- ; tion of theirs, we beg leave to pro : sent the following true statements, j from some of the best citizens of this state, and among Lite number that of a physician who has enjoyed a large practice in Georgia, for the last twenty-six years, is a graduate of medicine and whose skill is beyond \ dispute. Tbe following is />/•. ./. (). Holloway's Statement. “The first case in which 1 pre- ; scribed 15rower s Lung Restorer, was j that of Mr. John Pearson, who had | been troubled with a dreadful cough formally months. He was finally taken to his bed with what appeared to be consumption in its worst form, and his early death seemed inevit able. Asa last resort. I sent for a j bottle of the Lung Restorer and after 1 lie had a taken a few doses he seem ed to revive, lie continued to use it tor some time and was finally re stored to perfect health. So far as I could discover, he had consumption, and the Lung Restorer saved his life. All of iii.-s family that J knew, died of pulmonary disease, except his halt brother. 1 was afterwards called in consultation to see .Mrs. B. E. Ilenrndon. She seemed to be rapidly sinking from pulmonary affection, her lungs were rapidly de caying and 1 thought she could not possibly live over a month. The at tending physician satisfied the fam ily that nothing more could be done for Mrs. iiearndon. 1 then sugges ted a trial of the Lung Restorer. A bottle was procured and the patient commenced taking it. I learn thai she began to improve- immediately. 1 saw her two months afterwards and she seemed in very good health. 1 believe the Lung Restorer saved her life. 1 have since used several dozen of the medicine in my prac tice, ami a few bottles in my family, always with the most satisfactory results. The Lung Restorer is the only patent medicine that I have ever prescribed in my practice, al though 1 have no prejudice against them." Dr. Holloway resides at Bartlesville, Ga. The gentleman who outlined his case below is a man considerably ad vanned in life, and is noted for his sterling integrity. His post office is Yatesville, Epson Cos., Ga. The fol lowing is Mr. John Pearson's Statement. In the spring of 1882 1 was attack ed with a very bad cough which continued to grow worse until fall, when 1 got so weak that 1 could not get about. I tried a great many kinds of medicine but continued to grow worse. I was notified that 1 had the consumption and would probably die. Dr. Holloway finally told me to try Brewer's Imng Re storer. They sent to Ward's store and got a bottle and I commenced taking it right away. After taking two or three closes. I began to im prove, and by the time 1 had used up one bottle, F was able to get on my feet again. lam now in excel lent health. lam confident that the Lung Restorer saved my life and my neighbors are of the same opin ion. It is the best lung remedy ever made, in my opinion. I)r. 11. promised me that he would write to the manufacturers and ted them or the wonderful cu:v *t made in lm ease. Fairly in November, ISSI. while j sew ing on the machine, my wife j was taken with a severe pain in her ! side, which was soon followed by ; hemorrhages from her lungs and a severe cough. Fever commenced, she could neither eat orsieep.and in a few weeks she was reduced to a living skeleton. The attending phy sician told me that he thought one of her lungs was entirely gone. She could not retain the most deli cate' nourishment on her stom ach. 1 then agreed with Dr. Sullivan, my family physician, to call Dr. Holloway in consul tation. They made a final exami nation of the patient and pronounc ed the case hopeless.* Dr. Holloway then suggested the Brewer's Lung Restorer as a last resort. I sent for a bottle and gave her a dose. I found that she could retain it on her stomach and after about the third dose, 1 began to notice some im provement in her condition. I con tinued the medicine regularly, ami by the time she had taken two bot tles. she was able to walk about the house. She is now in better health than she has enjoyed for several w ars. 1 believe the Lung Restorer saved her life. We have a family of six children, seme of them grown.” Mr. Ilearmlons post otfice is \ atesville. Upson Cos.. Ga. lie is a thoroughly reliable man in every particular.

FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH 20. 1885. VIRTUE’S REWARD THE BEAUTIFUL STORY OF JO SEPH REVIEWED. “FROM* DUNGEON TO PALACE!” “SEE I HAVE SET THEE OVER ALL THE LAND OF EGYPT.” YOU CAN’T KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN. So Said Dr. Taimage in His Brooklyn Discourse. Dr. Talmage's characteristic ser mon, on tltc subject •• From Dungeon to l’alace. bad for its text Genesis xli., 41: “And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, ‘-See. 1 have set thee over ail the land of Egypt. \on can not keep a good man down, said Dr. Taimage. God lots dec-reed for him a certain point of elevation. He will bring him to that though it cost him a thousand worlds. You some times find men feflrful they will not he properly appreciated. Every man comes to lie* valued at just what he is worth. You cannot write him up, and you can not write him down. These facts are powerfully illustra ted in my subject. It would be an insult to suppose that you were not all familiar with the life .of Joseph, llov: his jealous brother threw him into a pit, but seeing a caravan of Arabian merchants trudging along on their camels, with spices and gums that loaded the air with aroma, sold their brother to these merchants, who carried him down iiitci Egypt: Joseph there sold to Potiphar. a man of influence and office. How by Joseph's integrity lie raised himself to high position in li** realm until under the false charge of a vile wretch he was liitiled into the penitentiary. Ilow in prison he commanded respect and confidence, ilow by the interpreta tion of Pharaoh’s dream he was freed and became the? chief man in the realm, the Bismarck of his country. Ilow in time of famine Joseph had .the control of a magnificent store house which he had filled during the seven years of plenty. How when his brothers, who had thrown him into the pit and sold him into cap tivity, applied for corn he sent them home with the beasts of burden borne down under the heft of the corn sacks, flow the sin agrbist their brother which hr I long been hid dim cftme out at . and was relurned by that brothers ! forgiveness and kindness— THE ONLY REVENGE HE TOOK. You see in the first place, that the world is compelled to honor Chris tian character. I’otiphar was only a man of the world, yet Joseph rose in his estimation until all the affairs of that great.house were committed to his charge. From his servant no honor or confidence was withheld. Wi en Joseph was in prison he soon won the heart of the keeper, and though placed there fin* being a scoundrel, lie soon convinced the •jailer that he was an innocent and trustworthy man, and, released from c'ose confinement, he became gener al superintendent of prison affairs. Wherever Joseph was placed, whether a servant in the house of Potiphar, or a*prisoner in the peni tentiary, he became the first man every where, and is an illustration of the truth I lay down, that the world is compelled to honor Christian chaincter. There are those who af fect to despise a religious life They speak of it as a system of phleboto my by which the man is bled of all his courage and nobility. Tiny say he has bemoaned himself. They pretend to have no more confidence in him since his conversion than be fore hivS conversion. But all this is hypocrisy. There s a great deal of hypocrisy in the church and there is a great deal of hypocrisy outside the cnurch. It is impossible for any man not to admire and confide in a man who shows that lie lias really become a child of God. and is what he professes to be. You can not despise a sou of the Lord God Almighty. Of course we have no ad mi radon for the sham of religion ; we have abhorrence. RED WALD, TIIE KING, after this his baptism, had an altar of Christian sacrifice and an altar for sacrifice .to devils; and there are many men now attempting the same thing—half a heart for God and half a heart for the world— and it is a dead failure and it is a car icature of religion, and the only suc cessful assault ever made on Chris tianity is tiie inconsistency of its protessors. You may have a con tempt for pretension to religion, but when you behold the excellency of Jesus Chiist come out in the life ot one ot .11 is disciples, all that there is good and noble in your soul rises up into admiration, and you can not help it. Though that man be as far beneath you in estate as the Egyp tian slave of whom we are discour sing was beneath his rulers, by an irrevocable law of your nature. Po.- ipharand Pharoah will always es teem Joseph. W hen Eudoxia, the Empress. threatened Chrysostom with death, lie made the reply: •Tell the Empress I fear nothing but sin." Such a scene as that com pels the admiration of the world. There was something in Agrippa and Felix which demanded their re spect for Paul, the rebel against government. 1 doubt not they would willingly have yielded their office and dignity for a thousandth part of that true heroism which beamed in the eye and beat in th> heart of that unconquerable ar * do. Paul did not cower before Felix,; Felix cowered before Paul. iv < infidel and worldling are cniup&f&i t<> honor in their hearts. although they nsay not eulogzc with their lips a Ghristian firm in persecution, cheer ful in poverty, trustful in loss< s, TRIUMPHANT IN DEATH. I find Christian men m all profu sions and occupations, and I lid them respected and honored uiii successful. John Frederick ObeHin alleviating ignorance and distress Howard, passing from dungeon |o lazaretto with healing for the body and the sou!: Elizabeth Fry going to the profligacy of Newgate prison to shake its obduracy, as the ang.l came to the prison atPhdiippi, diri ing open the doors and snappii { loose the chain, as well as.the Isv- x jot thousands of• loliowers of Jesus who have devoted themselves to t|,f temporal and spiritual welfare of the race, arc monuments of the Vui-Ti lian religion that shall not crumiyA while the world lasts. A man said to me in the ears: - What is reiigiog? Judging from the character of many professors of religion I do not a-l mire religion. 1 said : ‘--Now, sup pose we went to an artist in the city of Home, and while in his gallery asked him, “ What is the art of paint* ing? ’ would he take us out in M low alley and show us a mere daub of a pretender at painting? or would he take us down in the corridor and show us the Rubens, and the Raphaels, and the Michael Angelos ? When we asked him, “what is Unc art of painting?'’ he would points to the works of these great masters and say, "that is painting.” Now, you propose to rind the mere carica ture of religion, to seek after that which is tjie mere pretension of a holy life, and you call that religion. I point you to the splendid men a'ui women whom ibis Gospel lias blessed and lifted and crowned. Look at the masterpieces at Divine grace if you want to know what re ligion is.” We learn also from THE STORY OF JOSEPH that the result of persecution is ele vation. Had it not been for bis being sold into Egyptian bondage by Ins malicious brothers, and nis false imprisonment, Joseph never would have become Governor. Ev erybody accepts the promise, “bles sed are they mat are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven,” but they do not realize the fact that tins princi ple applies to worldly as well as spiritual success. It is true in all departments. -Men rise to high offi cial positions through misrepresenta tion .Rubric altu.se is all that 'some •lOiio men have t<*my : ,i f-L.vatioti. It has brought to tux,... renal latent and executive [ force could not have achieved. -Many of those who are makinggreat effort for place and power will never succeed,just because they are not oi enough importance to abuse, it is tbe nature of men—that is of all generous and reasonable men —to gather about tiioje who are perse cuted and defend them, and they are apt to forget the faults of ilio*e who are the subjects of attack while attempting to drive back tne slan derers. Bersecutiou is elevation, lieien St irk, tpe Scotch martyr, standing with her husband at Lue place ot execution, said: ••JLlusbanu, ict us rejoice to-day ; we have iiveu together a great many nappy years; tins is the happiest time of ail our life; you sec Me are to be happy to gether forever. Be brave now ;be orave. i will not say “Good night” to you. for we shall soon oe m tne Kingdom ot our Father together. Persecution snows the heroes and. tLie heroines. Igo inlo another de partment and I tmd that those great denominations of Christians w.iieli have been most abused have spread the most rapidly. No good man was ever more VIOLEXTLV MALTUEATED than John Wesley—belied and car icatured ami slandered until one day ue stood in a-pulpit in London, au'u a man arose in the audience and said, ‘-You were drunk last night,” and John Wesley said: -Taank God, the whole catalogue j>, now complete. I have been cuar <i *eii warn everything but that!"’ iiis followers were nuclei at U uu ma ligned and called by every detesta bie name ttiat internal ingenuity could invent, but tiie hotter tue per secution the more rapidly t,iev spread, until you know what a great host they have become, and what a tremenuous three lor God and the truth they are wielding all the world over. 1 Go not wonder they celebrate their centennial in Baltimore. It was persecution, that gave Scotland to I resbv tei iunisui. it was perse cution tmit gave our land first to civil liberty anti afterward to relig ious treeuom. Yes, 1 might go tur thei* back and say it was persecution that gave the worid the great .salva tion ot the gospel. The ribald mock ery. the hungering arid thirsting, the utijust charge, the ignominious death, when all the force of bells tury was hurled against the Gross, was the introduction of that religion which is yet to be the earth's deliv erance and our eternal salvation. Ihe slate sometimes said to tiie Church: "Come, take my hand, and I w 'id help you.” What was tiie re sult? Ihe Church went bacK and it lost its estate of holiness, and it I became ineffective. At other times the state s ;l id to the Church : "I will crush you. W hat Las been the re >li:l ■ _ After the storms have spent inch* tury the Church, so far from , having lost any of its force, has iu creased and is worth infinitely more • aiter the assault than before. Bead all history and you will find that trite. Jhe Church is far more in u. hied o the opposition of civil gov ernment than to its approval. Tiie fires of tliv stake have only been the torches which Christ held in His hand, by the light ot which the Ciiureh has nmrehed to her present glorious position. In the sound of racks and implements of torture I hear the tumbling of the Gospel chariot. The scaffolds ot martyr dom have been the stairs by winch the Church mounted. Learn also from our subject that SIN WILL COME TO EXPOSURE. . Dong, long ago had those brothers sold Joseph into Egypt. They ha 1 made the old father believe that his favorite child was dead. They had suppressed the crime and k was a profound secret well kept "by the brothers. But suddenly the secret is out. The old father hears that his son is in Egypt, having been sold there by the malice of his own brothers, ilow their cheeks must have burned and their hearts sunk at the flaming out of this long-sup pressed crime. The smallest iniqui ty has a thousand tongues, and they will blah out exposure. Saul was sent to destroy the Canaaniles, their sheep and their oxen ; but when he got down there among the pastures he saw some tine sheep and oxen 100 fat to kill so he thought lie would steal them. Nobody would know it. He drove these stolen sheep and oxen toward home, but stopped to report to the prophet how he had executed his mission, when in the distance the sheep began to bleat and tbe oxen began to bellow. Tbe secret was out, and Samuel said to the blushing and confused Saul: *‘\Vhat meaneth the bleating of a sheep that I hear and the bellowing >f the eattle?” Ah, my hearer you ■"• an not keep an iniquity still ! At ju.-t. the wrong time the sheep will hi avt and the oxen will bellow. Achan can not steal “the Bal-ylonisri garments without being stoned to .-'Lath, nor Arnold betray Ids coun ry without having his neek streteh . *:l. Look over the police arrests. Fiiese thieves, these burglars, these ix)iinte'’teiters, these highwaymen, Ghese assasins, they all thought they gould bury their iniquity so deep down it would never come to re.wir rcetion; but there was some shoe that answered to the print in the soil, some false keys found in their possession, some bloody knife that whispe -ed of the death, and the pub lic indignation and THE ANATHEMA OK OUTRAGED LAW .hurled them into the dungeon or Hoisted them on tne gallows. Frau ds 1., King of France, s.oo 1 coun seling with his officers how he eouhi >jtpe his army into Italy, when A Geril, the fool of the court, leaped on' from a corner of the room and : “You had bettor be consul dug ' T iriV - -Hr sri x o: ■ rC’-Cr h..f * ami it was found that Francis Land not Ameril was the fool. Instead of consulting as to the best \Yay of get ting into sin you had better consult as to whether you will be able to get out of it. If the world does not expose you, you will tell it yourself. T ie:e is an awful power in an a oused conscience. A highway nan nlanged out upon Whileoeld as he :t< *e a'ong on horseback, a sack of mo soy on die-horse, money that he had iaiscl for orphan asylums, and lie iiigiiv.iyma i pul his hand oo the gold and WhUeiieid firmed to him and s:bn: M’oueh that if you dare—that belongs to the Lord Jesus C iris!.’ Am! the ruffian slunk into the forest. Conscience! The ruffian hud a pistol, but Whitefieid shook al him the finger of doom. Do not think you can hide any great ami P 'o.raeted sin in your heart, brother. Li an unguarded moment it will slip off 'lie lip, or some slightacdon mav •or the moment set ajar this door that you wanted to keep cloned. But suppose that in this Lie you hide it and you get along with liiiu crans gre sion burning in your heart, as a sriip on fire within tor days hinders the flames from bursting out by keep ing down the hatches, yet at last in the judgment that iniquity will blaze out Umwe God and the universe. ■Loam also from this subject that there is an inseparable connection between all events however remote. The universe is only one thought of (red. Those tilings which seemed fragmentary and isolated are only different parts of that great thought. How far apart seemed th >se t vo' events: Joseph sold to the Arabian me'chants and his ruiership of Egypt, yet yon see in what a myste rious way God connected the two into one plan. So the events are tiiiked together. You who are aged men look back and group together a thousand things in your life that once seemed isolated. ONE UNDIVIDED CK.UN Or EVENTS reaches from the garden of Elen to the cross oi Calvary, and thus up to the kingdom of heaven. There is a relation between the smallest insect that hnm~ in the summer air and the archangel on ins throne. God can trace a direct ancestral line from the blue jay that next spring will build iis nest in the trees behind the house to someone of the flock oi' birds which when Noah hoisted the ark’s window, with a whirr and dash of bright wings went out to sing over .Mount Ararat. The tulips that wiil rdoom iu the garden next spring a‘’e this moment being nursed by the snowflakes. The farthest star on one side of the universe could not look towards the furthest star on the other side of the universe and say : -You are no relation to me,” for from that bright orb a voice of light would ring across the heavens responding, -Yes. yes, we are sisters.'' Nothing iu God's uni verse swings at loose ends. Acci dents are only God's way of turning a leaf in the book of His eternal de crees. From our cradle to our grave there is a jmtb all marked out. E.udi event in our life is concealed with every other event in our life. Oar loosen may be the most direct mad to our gain. Oar defeat and our victory are twin brothers. The whole direction of your life was changed by something which at the time seemed to you trifling, while some occurrence which seemed tre mendous afleeted you but little. God's plans are magnificent beyond ali comprehension. He molds us and turns and directs us, and we know it not. Thousands of rears are to Ilim as the flight" of a shuttle. The most terrific occurrence does not make God tremble. The most triunphnnt achievement does not lift Him into rapture. That one great thought of (rod goes out through the centuries, and nations rise and fall, and eras pass and the world chan ges. but (rod still keeps the undivid ed mastery, linking event to event a id century to century. We learn front this story Tilt: PBOPRIETY OK LAY IMi 11* FOR THE Fi ll UK. During the seven years of plenty Joseph prepared {or the famine, and when it‘came he had a crowded storehouse. The life of most men in a worldly respect is divided into years of plenty and famine. It is seldom any man passes through life without at least seven years of plen ty. During those seven years your business bears a rich harvest. You hardly know where all t-he money comes §io fast. Every bargain you make seems to turn into gold. You eon.met few bad debts. You are astonished with large dividends. You invent move and more capital. You wonder how men can be con tent with a small business, gathering in only a few hundred dollars while you reap thousands. Those are the seven years of plenty. .Now Joseph has time to prepare for famine, for to almost every man there do come seven years of famine. You will he unfortunate, you will be defrauded, there will be hard times; you will be disappointed, and if you have no store-bouse upon which to fall back, you may be famine-struck. We have no ad mi radon for this denying one’s self all personal comfort and luxury fo • the mere pleasure of hoarding up ; this grasping, grasping for the mere pleasure of seeing how large a pile you can get; this always being poor because, as soon as a dollar comes in, it is sent out to see if it can find another dollar, so that it can cany it home on iis back. We have a contempt for all those things; but there is an intelligent and noble minded forecast which we love to see in men who have families and kindred depending upon them for the blessings of education and home. God sends us to the, insects for a les son. which while they do not stint themselves in llie present do not for get their duty to f > e'-ast th • fu: are. "-<>* *o (hr auT, thou sluggard . eon sidcr her ways and be wise : which, having no guide, overseer or ruler, proviaetli her meat in the summer and gathered her food in the har vest.” Now, there arc two ways of laying up money. One of these is to put in stock and deposit it in bank, and invest it on bond and mortgage.

THE TRIP FROM NEW ORLEANS TO TEXAS The Sugar Plantations of Louisiana How the Georgia Emigrants are Pro gressing—A Sketch of Texas Life—High Price of Tobac co and Lumber. From Now Orleans westward, we passed through the cane growing region of Louisiana, the land of su gar, rich, sweet and desolate. Xe groes and mules and serub horses and dirtv, dingy shanties along the line. The places where the sugar planters used to live and there, the ruins of old mansions set baek in untrimmed groves, and the houses of the old slaves near by unoccupied aid tumbling to the ground. Hard ly a white man is to be seen be tween the slations, but when the stations are reached we see the smoke stack of a sugar mill and some lew signs of civilization and comfort. 1 was told that their vast sugar plantations have all changed hands, and now belong to northern men who had mortgages on them ior money loaned before the war. All they can do with them is to lease or rent to negroes, for the cli mate is not inviting to the southern whites, and they will not go there. Texas is not far. away, and has a better name. 1 crossed the Sabine river tor the first time and found myself upon the soil of this wonder ful state. I passed through Houston in the night, and on to Waco, which according to Waco people, is the center of Texas and the world. An old Georgian said to me, if you will draw a circle with a huuderd miles radius around Waco, you will have the finest territory in Texas or on the globe. A man at Fo* t Wort h said about the same thing about that town, and a Denison man declared that Denison was the head center. 1 find that every man is for his im mediate section, and all are for Tex as. They fight and fuss over free g ass and wire cutting and foreign monopolies, but they are all for Texas. Well, it is a wonderful country. When a Georgia farmer owns forty or fitly aces of rich bot tom land on some creek or river, he ♦eels like a king, and his neighbors a"e envious of him, but here you arc never out of sight ot better land than that. As your train moves along there is a boundless sli ip of it on either side and hardly a tree ora fence or a bouse is to be seen. It i> all in cultivation or in pasture. 1 saw a house away off, a dark liitle house with a shed room and a stove pine sticking out of the roof and was told that was where the owner or ihe renter of 2,W0 >: es live ! "'Then arc no inviting country homes, no minted houses, no fences or orna ments. no good barns, no nothing much, but land and scrub horses and poor cattle. Every man < f pretensions or ambition seemsto live la the town. There are no groves to build in the country ajid they can’t wait for shade trees to grow, a id so they live on as they begun w ien they first bought or settled in primitive simplicity—this is the case within that 100 mile circle a-onnd Waco. But their farmers make a wredd of stuff to sell. I met a man at Waco who came from Floyd county sixteen years ago when he was just lr-uvio*!. Ho was worth nothing t ; uve but one old wagon and a yoke of steers —1 have bought many a load o? woo l from him when he was a poor back-woods boy and 1 always felt sorry for him; for he looked piti ful and overworked. That boy man aged to get bore with his young wife, and rente! land a few miles from Waco. He now owns 1,400 acres of good land and has got to be* Hell from farming and stock raising, lie has a daughter at college and 1 was informed paid taxes on §42,000. Ho worked hard, very har-d to make the first thousand dollars, and after he bad no trouble; my opinion is that if be bad stayed in Georgia he would have been hauling wood now. The reason is plain. In Georgia lie and his wife would have wanted to live in a decent home and wear de cent clothes and keep up with the neighbors in appearance, and when tneir kinfolks come to see them they must put up the best they could get. an i so they kept on a strain all the time. Out here they lived in a shanty and could eat with their fin gers and go barefooted half the time aid dress in cheap clothes and t!ie**e were no kinfolks or near neighbors, and besides the land was better and there was more of it. and the cattle increased and cost nothing to fee l them winter and summer. This Floyd county boy told me lie sold 300 head of hogs and 200 head of beef cattle in Waco last Christ mas and he had as many more at home to sell now. I saw the Mont gomery boys at Fort Worth. One of them stays out on the prairie 300 miles further west and has 2,500 head of cattle. He is 100 miles from a railroad and livers in a dug out, and sees nobody but cowboys all the year round. But be is getting rich from the increase of his cattle and says just as soon as he gets rich he is going to marry and settle down. Maybe he will, but I doubt it. for he will never-know when lie is rich and my observation is that if a young man does not marry when, the val entine of life i.s upon him he is not apt to marry at all. A man can travel around and wait and see ten thousand girls and keep fool ing along until he don’t care much about marrying any one tor fear she will be in his way and bother him when he wants to go anywhere. Those traveling drummers don’t many. Not one in ever ten will ever marry unless they can run. away with or capture some rich girl. After a few years of tlrumming they look upon the ears as their hotel, their home and they are never satisfied unless they arc JOB PR_I KTTTTsTG Business Men if you Want Bill Heads, Note Heads, Cards, Letter Head*.

If I was a girl I don't think I would marry a drummer tor I know lie would bo hankering to leave mo before the honeymoon was over. I like the drummers. I meet them every where and they are civil and cour teous and aggressive in business but I am sorry for them, they have a hard life —a life that weans them from all the endearments of home and female society. I am sorry for their mothers and sisters and can almost hear them saying with a sigh “I wonder where William is to night and what the poor boy is do ing. There are a dozen of them at my hotel to-night and they are all busy writing letters to their em ployes and footing up the day's work. In the morning they will bo gone-and another dozen will take their places. 1 said that l saw no pleasant in viting country homes in middle Tex as, no white houses with green blinds and a broad veranda with vines run ning up the trellaces and evergreens in the front yard. But 1 never saw more attractive homes than they have in the towns and suburbs. They have splendid court houses and jails and public schools buildings; much finer and costlier than any in Georgia. These Texans do what they do in a grand style. They are well up with all the advances of modern times. * find the telephone everywhere and it is used much more than the telegraph—one can go to the telephone in his hotel in any of these towns and convert with any other town a hundred miles away. There are ten times as many telephones in Texas as in Georgia. A friend of mine while in Gainesville tal ced to his family in Sherman and then to his agents in Waco ynd Dallas, he is in the lm . her business, and when a man in Denison inquired by telephone what he woul l sell him two car loads ot shingles for, he immediately tele phoned a shingle man at Texarkana and got his reply, and then answer ed the Denison man, and said he made fifty-four dollars by the trans action. The telephone is hurting llie telegraph badly. It i.s hurting the street cars too. A man used to get or the cars and ride a half mile to see a man, but he don’t now There are 240 telephones in Sher man and more in Dallas, and as many in Gainesville. They are ev erywhere in this country and all the towns arc tied together by it. Now I am here in Denison, in northern Tex'as, and find this a much better country foi advanced agricul ture and horticulture. 1 never saw any ol Fort Worth, but t';f> region is .‘ell of them. They fruit a specialty and it i- a lu crative occupation. Yiuyard, and orchards, and large areas <4 straw berries and other small fruits raay be seen all around the city. It is not a prarie country like middle Texas, but is gently undulating and lias a rich deep soil that needs no fertilizer. I have seen Broil's Iron Bitters and Cuticura and so forth ad vertised all over the country” but 1 have not seen the Soluble Pacific guano. They have no need for guano here. But there is one thing lacking here, and that is manufac tures. There are no steam whistles except on the locomotives. There is nothing done in Texas but fann ing and cattle raising and merchan dise. This is a fine field tor the manufacturer to occupy. Train load after train loaded with wheat goes north and passes just as many trains coining back with flour. But they don’t care—money is plenty and it goes free and easy—when I snokod cigars in Georgia I was ashamed to pay more than a nickel for one but you can’t find a nickel cigar here. They are ten cents or three for a quarter, and it is the same way with everything. Lumber is eighteen dollars a hundred. They used to weatherboard their houses with rawhides but they don’t now. Texas is cosmopolitan. People from every land are here, but the native Texan prevails and rules. An im migrant has to live here for years before they will trust him. 1 used to hear that our boys would eu.no back to Georgia if they coni I. but they don’t talk that way to mo. They love to talk about old Georgia t>ui they don’t want to go back. An old settler told me that for a long time they used to skin our boys w.ien they came and swindle them out of what they brought here, and that kept them from going back for the}' had nothing to go back on, and s > they went to work and after a while got reconciled. I asked a man where he was from and he said ho was fotehed up in Georgia but he was “raised ” in Texas, for they rais ed him out of everything he ha But 1 am burned now and will give you more in my next. Bill A bp. In the inaugural a hires- of Presi dent Cleveland the New York Sun finds four passages that especially commend themselves to thoughtful men who hope to see the democra tic part}' profit by its opportunity and enter on a long carreer of nso fii n *ss and honor. It refers to tie clear pledges given and the sound ide..s propounded regarding the capital necessity of restoring econo my in public expenditure, the im portance of reverting to a strict c< n strnction of our organic law, the ex pediency of adhering to the nation al policy of nonintrusion in the af fairs ot the old world, and the duty of heedfully conserving the inter ests of American iabor and capital in any readjustment of our fiscal system. On these four weighty topics the incoming administration has firmly and distinctly anno sand its convictions and its jxur .os. Thoroughgoing and farsighted dem ocrats have only praise for such a programme, and they will be grate ful to the men who unswervingly enforce it.
