HOT DEAD YET.
Atlanta papers are giving the pubHc sojne
curious and wonderful cases that are quite
interesting. It seems that a young lady of
Atlanta had beeu reported as ds*d, but it
came to the ears of the Atlanta Journal that
*he was still alive, and being on the alert for
news, a reporter was sent to the residence to
learn the facts. Miss Belle Dunaway, who
had been pronounced dead, met him at the
door, stoutly denying that she was dead.
She said:
“For four years, rheumalism and neuralgia
have resisted physicians and all other treat
ment. My muscles seemed to dry up, my
flesh shrank away, my joints were swollen,
painful and brge, lost my appetite, was re
duced to 6Q pounds in weight, and for months
"’ a ** to dip. I commenced the use
ot B. B. 8., and the action of one-half a bot
tle convinced tnv friends that it would cure
me. Its effect was like magic. It gave me
an appetite, gave me strength, relieved all
pains and aches, added flesh to nay bones,and
when live bottles had been used I had gained
50 pounds of flesh, and I am to-Aav sound
and well.”
IS IT A LIE ?
Someone said Potash was poison. Who
makes the assertion except those who desire
to humbug you ? lie who denounces other
remedies as FRAUDS,is quietlv offering a vile
compound of his own—beware of all such,
Ask your physician ordiuggist if Potash
produces all the horrors claimed for it bv
those who are compelled to truduco other
prepara ions in order to appear ro pectable
themselves Wo ( hum that Potash proper
ty combined with other remedies makes the
grandest blood remedy ever known to man,
and we claim that B. B. B. is that remedy.

The aim is lo present in this series,
not official reports, but commanding

events of the war, and possess, at the
same time, a historical value not easi

LITERARY NOTES.
An article of very great interest to
every farmer is promised for the May
number of Harper’s Magazine, on
“Jersey cattle in America,’’ by Hark
Comstock. Portraits are given, from
direct photographs, of a number of
the most notable butter-producing
cows of this stock, one of which, “Al
phea,” owned by Col. R. M. Hue, pro
duced under unforced tests over
tweniysnine pounds of butter a week
while her granddaughter, “Enrolas,”
owned by A. It. Darling, produced
seven bund red and seventy-eight
pounds of butler in eleven months
and live days. The writer, who is
one ot the best authorities on this sub
ject, gives an interesting sketch Qf the
means taken in tlie Channel Islands
to keep the breed pure, the laws hav
ing for one hundred youis back ex
cluded all foreign cattle except such
as were imported for meat, which had
to bo slaughtered at tlie pout of arriv
al; and his remarks on the present
slate of tlie slock and its prices in
this country are of practical value.
It would astonish Hinny a London
er to be told that lie can go “ Through
London by Canal.” Nevertheless
such is the fact; and Unit canal is
the scene of the “tittle travel*” of a
writer in the May Harper’s who de
scribes in detail how lie journeyed
from beyond Paddington, the north
west of London. through tlie most
populous parts of this great city, to
the East End and the lower Thames
on one of the many freight-boats
that ply on ibis “raging canal.” Ii
is almost needless to say that the
writer Dr. B. K. Martin, is an Amer
ican, for it if our countrymen who
have been tlie most curious explorers
of tlie English metropolis, and most
of the books about Dieken’s place
have beeu written bv them. An En
glish artist. Mi. AY. L. Wj Hie, accom
panied him, and Ills sketches are of
novel interest. The article is timely,
because the canal is likely, in the
course of a year or so, (o be trans
formed ini® the roadway of a circuit
railway which is to take its place.
Literary Not® tVbm The Century 00,
A New Day or Issue for “the
Century.”
The editions of Tlie Century
Magazine are now so large that it
lias become necessary either to go to
press at an earlier date or to postpone
to day of issue. The latter alterna
tive has been accepted. The April
number, the edition of which was
225,000, was delayed until the 25til
of March. The May number —edition,
250,000 —will be issued on the Ist day
o< May, thus inaugurating with the
first number of the thirtieth volition a
change which has long beeu consider
ed desirable by' tlie publishers, and
which it is believed will be heartly
commended by the public. Future
numbers of 'Fite Century Magazine
will be issued on tlie Ist day of tlie
month of which each bear dale.
Delicate Woiticu.
I have been using for a month or
two in my household Swift's Specific
tbe gealer portion of it having been
consumed by tbe female portion of
my family and with tbe happiest re
sults. Il acted like a charm on my
wile who had been in bad hea th for
a long time and for whom I had paid
hundreds of dollars for doctors and
rnedcines. It began to build her up
from the first dose. Another female
member of my family took it with
equally satisfactory results. It is
certainly the best ionic for dilicate
ladies iliat I have ever used and 1 have
tried them all. I have no doubt that
want exercise, close confident in poor
ly ventilated houses sewer gas poison
malarial poison often produce sick
ness among our wives, daughters
and aiktew, and I believe Hwifi’s
Specific, is iha remedy for all this
aort of blood piosoning. I km w
many of the best families of this
county are using it for (his purpose
and I have never known or heard of
any failure to give entire satisfaction.
I have known the remedy a long time.
I know it to beentireiy vegetable, and
the best tonic and alterative, especial
ly for females.

liensral Debility,
For several year* past my wife’s
health has been exceedingly feeble—
a general break down of the nervous
system. She was greatly reduced in
flesh. No,remedy seemed to do her
any good. In the spring of 18831 in
duced her to try Swift's Specific. The
first bottle <'ave her hope and twenty
bottles produced wonderful results.
She gained thirty paiinds in flesh and
it rennovalcJ her whole sy-tcin. Il
is certainly the greatest tenie in the
world. T. J. Higgins.
