**• •■■A WMUMCMdeued,
What Intelligent ‘Dowu Easters’ Think
of Us.
Southern Lin m berm an.
The members of the New England Press
iSSrSf Spe “i ° ver two da > 8 in Nash-
ville, and seemed desirous of learning the
condition of business, trade, schools,
state of society, eto., without reference to
former opinions or prejudices. They seemed
l .7? keen very favorably impressed by
what they saw and heard while here. One
of our oity dailies has this to say of the ex-
members- made by S ° me ° f the leadin «
, admit,” said one, “that when I
left home I had many erroneous ideas about
the south and its people. Perhaps some of
these ideas were born of prejudice. 1 don’t
deny it. But I am as free to admit now that
1 have had a wrong impression concerning
the people here. I had no idea that you
could so soon forget the passions and preju
dices engendered by the war. You are a
wonderful people, full of energy and pluck,
hospitality and generosity. Twenty years ago
your seotion was a waste and society was de
moralized. I o-day your waste places are built
up and the South blossoms as the rose. No
people on earth have exhibited such recu
perative powers and energy as the Southern
people. You are a brave people, or else
you could never have forgotten and for
given in so short a time. It is not the South
that has not forgiven; it is the North. We
believed before we came here that your
people hated our people, but I am glad to
know that such is not the case. You have
received us and treated us in a manner that
wholly disarms ns; yon have been more
kind and generous to ns than we have been
to one another. You have taught us a lesson
in generosity, in gallantry, and in hospital
ity. We shall go home and tell our people
about you, and tell them that we have here
tofore wronged you, but with God’s help we
shall do so no more.”
Another said: “You have the most won
derful oountry in the world. When I started
here I expected to see a lot of sand hills
and barren glades, and instead I find the
finest, the richest agricultural lands. You
can produce here everything that we can
produce, and a great deal more than we
can. Besides this, you have the greatest
abundanoe of valuable timber, coal, iron,
zino, copper, marble, navigable streams,
great water-power, mountains, hills, and
valleys, rich in all that goes to make a great
and prosperous country.”
SOUTH CAROLINA.

dent Arthur, was in Sumter on Sunday last

.The May collection of taxes in Aiken
ooO»ty amounts to $10,000. Of this amount
over out*-half goes to the State and a part
of the brlfaipe to the vublic schools. * l»rjw
proportion of the $20,000 was paid by cor
porations, the collections throughout the
county being small.
A project is on foot to cut a road through
the Savannah river swamp from Ellenton to
the nearest available point in Georgia, and

object in view and to select a route.
On Tuesday the hands working with the
material train on the Cheraw and Darling

he had given work.

dwelling house built and when finished, his
will be the most attractive house in Powder
Springs. Mr. Merchman’s new planing mill
is in operation and running to its full ca

The Marietta Journal expresses the fol
lowing opinion: “Walking matches look
very foolish, aDd are demoralizing without
any redeeming good. We understand that
whisby-drinhing and betting were indulged
in extensively and several thousand dollars
changed hands in Macon Saturday. One
Atlanta man had $2,000 bet on Seel and
lost.”
On June 11th the large and substantial
barn and stables belonging to the Hon.
John J. Jones, on his plantation adjoining
WayneBboro, were burned, together with
six fine mules. Evidently the work of an
incendiary, as the tracks going to and from
the building were plainly seen. The build
ing was erected only a few years ago with a
great deal of care and at a cost of $2,500.
Col. Jones’ loss will reach quite $3,000.
As the fast mail from Savannah reached
a point thirteen miles from Macon Monday
night, Engineer Prendergast saw a crosstie
lying across the track, placed by some one
with intention to wreck the train. The en
gineer, seeing the peril the train was in,
opened his throttle and dashed against it,
splintering it to attorns- In this manner
his train was saved. The passengers were
badly frightened and a stop was made to
calm them.
A PauldiDg county man gave an ac
count of a fatal accident that occurred near
Dallas, Saturday afternoon. A young man
named W. H. Shiroh, had been out hunting
and in the afternoon brought up at the home
of a man named Woods. While he was
leaning against the fence the hammer of
the gun struck something and the gun went
off The load struck the young man in the
face and came out at the top of his head.
He lingered in great agony untill 11 o’clock
Saturday night, when he died. He was
about „1 years old and was not married. His
home was near Punkinvine ohurch. The
young man was much liked by those who
knew him.
The shooting of Mrs. Rose, whioh oc-
ourred in Atlanta, June 11th, was a very
shocking affair. Her husband works at the
Air Line shops. A burglar entered the
house by cutting a pane of glass from the
sash and raising the window. As Mrs.
Rose, who was sleeping with her little babe,
awoke and raised up, the burglar shot her
with a pistol belonging to her husband that
was lying on the mantle-piece, blew out the
light and fled. A Miss Frazier, sleeping in
the same room, was awakened by the pistol
report and rushed to the unfortunate lady to
find her gasping in the final death struggle,
her babe covered with the mother’s blood.
It was a frightful scene. Neighbors were
called in, the police sent for and the poor
husband brought to the corpse of his wife.
Sueh a scene beggars description. Rose
had left his young wife in health and hap
piness. He was without a word of prepara
tion called to find her a bloody corpse by
the hand of a midnight robber and assas
sin, never more to hear her voice, his little
babe an orphan. It makes us shudder to
think of such a calamity. Tha murderer
has not been fonnd, though the police are
trying to trace up the criminal.

AYER’S
Cherry Pectoral.
No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those aifecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifled with by the majority of suffer
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from a trifling or unconscious ex
posure, is often hut the beginning of a fatal
sickness. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years’ fight
with throat ami lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.
A Terrible Cough Cured.
“In 1857 I took a severe cold, which affected
my lungs. 1 had a terrible cough, and passed
night after night without sleep. The doctors
gave me up. ( tried Ayer’s Ciikrry Pec
toral, which relieved my lungs, induced
sleep, and afforded me the rest necessary
for the recovery of my strength. By the
continued use of the Pectoral a perma
nent cure was effected. I am now 62 years
old, hale and hearty, and am satisfied your
Cherry Pectoral* saved me.
Horace Fairbrother.”
Rockingham, Vt., duly 15, 1882.
Croup. — A 31other’s Tribute.
“While in the country last winter my little
boy, three years old, was taken ill with croup;
it seemed as if he would die from strangu
lation. One of the family suggested the use
of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, a bottle of
which was always kept in the house. This
was tried in small and frequent doses, and
to otfr delight in less than half an hour the
little patient was breathing easily. The doc
tor said that the Cherry Pectoral had
saved my darling’s life. Can you wonder at
our gratitude? Sincerely vours,
Mrs. Kmma C.ETVjrEY.”
15!) West 12Stli St., New York, May IB, 1882.
“I have used Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
in my family for several years, and do not
hesitate to pronounce it the most effectual
remedy for coughs and colds we have ever
tried. A. d. CRANE.”
Lake Crystal, Minn., March 13, 1882.
“ I suffered for eight years from Bronchitis,
and aftertrying manv remedies with no suc
cess, I was cured by tiie use of Ayer’s Cher-
BY PECTORAL. JOSEPH WALDEN.”
Bylialia, Miss., April 5, 1882.
“ I cannot say enough in praise of Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral, believing as I do that
hut for its use I should long since have died
from lung troubles. E. Brag don.”
Palestine, Texas, April 22, 1882.
No case of an affection of the throat or
lungs exists which cannot he greatly relieved
by the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
and it will ahraijs cure when the disease is
not already beyond the control of medicine.

Crazy 4(nllt .llunia.
Minnie May, I know I deserve punish
ment for not writing sooner and begging
you to write to me after all the nice things
you said abont old bachelors. Well you
have raised me in the estimation of one per
son at least—myself. Minnie I was charm
ed with your first letter, but what do you
mean by writing to Harry, and then yon call
him “dear” too? Now won’t you be gracious
fair one and write to Lone Bach through
the L. B.? Believe me, I have not gone the
way of the world, but I think there is some
danger that I will soon if—but I need not
say it, for Cousin Lillian told ns to write
something that would interest others, and I
never heard of anything on that subject in
teresting more than two. Yon said in your
latter you liked old bachelors, provided no
silver threads gleamed among the gold. Put
me down on'your list of favorites, for after
hours of careful study before my mirror I
have failed to detect a single gray hair in
my curly brown looks.
Has the deranged quilt mania reached
your country yet? It is in full blast in this
part of the moral vineyard. The ladies talk
of nothing else, and the poor husbands
think of nothing else, for their wives won’t
let ’em. The other day a married man,
whose “worser half” is making one of
those things, told me he thought he’d be as
crazy as the quilt by the time it was finish
ed. The ladies have stripped their bonnets
and hats of ribbons and velvets to get ma
terials for their heart’s desire. How long
they’ll keep the old frames I am unable to
say, for I am expecting somebody to invent
a quilt made oat of old hat and bonnet
frames, and then there will be as great a
demand for these as there is for silk soraps
now.
I know Consin Lillian will lot me in again
for I have been absent so long, thinking she
would be more lenient with me if I didn’t
make myself too “promiscuous” in the L.
B.
Minnie, remember I “impatient wait.”
To all who have noticed my coming I re
turn thanks. Lose Bach.
“Three cheers” for Bach. We feared he
had ere this gone the way of all men, and
had given some little woman the privilege
of nsing the broomstick on his devoted
head, while she permitted him to pay her
bills. But we are delighted to find that he
still retains his senses, and we believe he
will, at least until the deranged quilt sensa
tion is over.
Clout! Sprite.
Dear Cousin Lillian: Nothwithstanding
the sadly solemn fact that my last letter
made its debut in the waste basket, I am
again seeking admittance, and I hope to be
more fortunate this time as I promise my
stay shall be brief.
Cousin Cal. Q. Late in that other letter I
welcomed your return, but lest this share
its fate, will only say I hope your interes
ting letters may often add to onr pleasure;
and I would warn you against another aerial
flight. Should such a temptation come to
her again, Cloud Sprite might not possess
the strength to resist it—and then, alas, for
the fond heart of your earth-fairy!
Calla Lily, does Cloud Sprite occupy a
place no longer in your memory, else why
has her letter never been answered?
Wild Texan, I am wandering around cor
respondentless. 1 wonder if letters all the
way from clondland could interest this
wild” Texas cousin? Think yon a Cloud
Sprite would ever learn to pick np “Chips?”
(I beg pardon if I have mistaken you for
another.)
Cliltell; Lillian, I again take the liberty of
sending some little verses which I hope you
may think worthy of a place in the Letter
Box.
With many good wishes, I am still a lov
ing, wandering
Cloud Speite.
Cousin Lillian does not know why a letter
from you should be thrown aside as your
letters are always interesting. Many thanks
for the nice little poem; we shall try and
get it in the next issue.
Good morning, Dear Consins: It has been
so long since I had a pleasant talk with you
all. Who of you will be kind enough to give
me a welcome? I think I hear the sweet
voice of Cousin Lillian say walk in. So I
will make myself at home.
I feel like a bird out of a oage now, as I
am free from school duties for a while. Our
school closed on the 27th of last month.
We will have quite a long holiday, and I am
anticipating much pleasure during the time.
Does any of the consins study elocution? I
do, and like it very much indeed. I have
one of the sweetest lady teachers in the
world. She is so very clever I can’t help
loving her.
White Violet returned home a few weeks
ago, after paying me a short visit. She and
I are intimate friends.
The young folks had a moonlight picnic
about a mile from town last Friday evening
in a beautiful grove. They spent the even
ing in dancing, promenading, etc. I did
not attend (as my father objects to my going
out at night, especially with boys). So I oan
not give you a full description of it.
Have any of you ever witnessed a sad
parting of dear friends who never expected
to see'each other again. There were several
girls and boys here last term of school from
up north. The girls were very pleasant and
sweet, and soon after they came a friend
ship sprang up whioh made us all intimate
companions. Bat when the school closed
and the time came for them to return home
they hated to part with their new-made
friends and we with them. The afternoon
before they left a large number of us called
to tell them good-bye. I seemed so hard to
utter the last word. It was a sad ocoasion.
Scarcely was there an eye which did not
show signs of sadness. But the time had
come to say onr farewell, and they will be
sadly missed.
Alabama, I have just finished reading
your letter in last week’s paper, and like it
very much. Come again.
Merle Monte, I have an idea where yon got
that glowing description of me. By-the-
by, I saw your photo, I think. Well, I wont
say I think as White Violet may not like it.
Let us hear from you soon.
Cousin Lillian, I can sympathize with you,
as I am an invalid in one respect. I have
granulated eyes, and I am very fond of read
ing. I have a good and kind aunt who stays
with me most of the time, and she reads
aloud to me.
Pansy, are yon not sad? Jnst to think of
those pretty brown eyes far, far away. You
have my sympathy.
Tulip, I thinh I have fonnd you out. Your
initials are N. G. Are they not. Come
again.
Cousin Mack, I like yon so mnoh. Let ns
hear from yen often.
I agree with yon, Pysche, can’t we have a
badge?
Rosebud, Cal Q. Late, Billie Barlow, Alice
and all of the old Cousins, come soon.
Cousin Lillian, if this is written well
enough, please let it escape that horrid old
waste basket, as my last letter went there.
But I have patience, and as the old adage is,
“If at first yon don’t succeed, try, try again.”
With love to the girls, a bow to the boys
and a kiss for Consin Lillian, I am,
Stbawbebt.
Now, dear little, bright little' Strawberry,
there must be some mistake abont yonr last
letter landing in the waste basket instead of
the Letter Box. Yon write a very olever and
interesting letter, and if yonr other letter
had reaohed me it eertainly would have ap
peared. I must commend yon for the com
position of snoh beantifnl and short sen
tences. Write again.
A Reply to Turquoise* “
Dear Consins : I have not written to yon
in a long, long time. Indeed, seeing wri
tors so mnoh more gifted than myself join
the Letter Box, I had serionsly entertained
the idea of retiring altogether. But Tur
quoise’s letter in the last S. S. provoked a
reply.
“How shall I kill time?” she asks. Tur
quoise dear, we incur a great, a terrible re
sponsibility when we undertake to kill time,
and 1 advise you not to try it at all. It is
ioo precious to destroy. Turquoise, every
word, every thought and every action of
ours is a seed that we have planted in the
great field of life. The precious golden
moments are passing swiftly, too swiftly, it
is the seed-time now, but very soon will
come the time when the sheaves mast be
gathered in, and then when yon have stood
all the day idle what will your harvest be?
I know you have never thought of it in that
way or you would not have written the let
ter you did. Did you ever read a little poem
entitled “Nothing to Do?” It gives a better
answer to your question than any one else
could. I am sorry that time hangs so heavi
ly on your hands. To me this is a beauti
ful, beautiful world, full of sunshine, and I
eDjoy it oh so much!
Lex, your letter was received, and rest as
sured that it did not in the least offend me.
But I have found you out, “Law l” I don’t
mean that for slang. I have studied Latin.
No, you did not meet me when you were in
our town. I saw yon though.
Beulah, dear Beulah, how I want to see
yon. No I will never forget the hour we
spent together that cold dark winter night
we were both excused from study.
Etowah, I also will join your society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Dudes. Dudes
are not so very objectionable unless they
carry the thing too far. Don’t you think
so?
Who was it that said girls would never ad
mit that they had passed “sweet sixteen?” I
am seventeen and I am a girl. Most assured
ly if I were forty I should not deny it. I
can understand why people hate to get old,
but cannot understand in the least why they
should be ashamed of it.
Btndentia, Dove, Heliotrope, Alabama
and Traveller welcome to our band. You
have no truer friend than
ISTALENA.
P. S. Will Lex sometimes write to the L.
B.? I.
You are right, as yon always are, dear sen
sible Istalena. We cannot be too careful to
use wisely the talents God has given ns.

Delicate and Feeble Ladies.
Those languid, tiresome sensations, causing
you to feel scarcely able to be on your feet; that
constant drain that is taking from your system
all its former elasticity; driving the bloom from
your cheeks; that continual strain upon your
vital forces, rendering you irritable and fretful
can easily be removed by the use of that marvel
lous remedy, Hop Bitters. Irregularities and
obstructions of your system are relieved at once
while the special cause of periodical pain are re
moved permanently. None receive so much ben
efit, and none are so proofundly grateful and
show such an interest in recommending Hop
Bitters as women.
Feels Young Again.
“My mother was afflicted a long time with Neu
ralgia and a dull, heavy, inactive condition of the
whole system; headache, nervous prostration,
and was almost helpless. No physicians or med-
cinesdid her any good. Three months ago she
began to use Hop Bitters with such good effect
that she seems and feels young again, although
even 70 years old. We think there is no other
medicine fit to use in the family.”—A lady, in
Providence.
Bradford, Pa., May 8, 1885.
It has cured me of several diseases, such as
nervousness, sickness at the stomach, monthly
troubles, etc. I have net seen a sick day in a
year, since I took Hop Bitters. All my neighbors
use them. Mbs. Fannie Green.
$3,000 Lost.—“A tour of Europe that cost me
“$3,000, did me less good than one bottle of Hop
“Bitters; they also cured my wife of fifteen years’
"nervous weakness, sleeplessness and dyspepsia.”
R. M., Auburn, N. Y.

Baby Saved!
We are so thankful to say that our nursing
baby was permanently cured of a dangerous and
protracted constipation and irregularity of the
bowels by the use of Hop Bitters by its mother,
which at the same time restored her to perfect

l Few Wortl* from Captaiu K«
w. Bonner, a Well-Known
Citizen ot Bacon.
In August, 1881, nearly three years ago, my
son, who was at that time living at Clinton,
Ga., came over to see me with the sad intel
ligence that his wife was in the last stages of
consumption aud that her physician had pro
nounced her case hopeless. I went immedi
ately over, and I felt that nothing could be
done. She was coughing and spitting inces
santly. and at times would discharge from
her lungs a large quantity of pus or matter
could not sleep or retain anything on her
stomach, and was, in fact. In the last stages
of the disease. This was about the time you
began to advertise Brewer's Lung Restorer*
aud, as my son expressed a desire to give it
to his wife, t wo or three bottles were pro
cured and with scarcely a vestige of hope we
commenced giving it to.her in sms 11 doses,
gradually increasing the quantity until the
prescribed dose was reached. She began to
improve alter a few doses, and continued to
do so daily until she was finally restored to
life and health, and is to-day perhaps in bet
ter health thau ever before. She is subject to
colds, but a few swallows of ® rew f, r *
Kestor(which she is never without) relieves
her immediately. I consider her restoration
to perfect health a miracle, for wolch she is
Indebted to Brewer's Lung Restorer. My son
is almost a mono > aniac on the subject of
Brewer's Lung Restorer and never lets an
opportunity pass where he, l th J? ks 1 Bnc 5
medicine would be required tha the does not
speak of it in most glowing terms. Not Ion*
since a Northern gentleman on his way to
Florida heard of this cure and was induced by
my sou to give It to his invalid wife, and she
was cured as if by magic.”
Mr Charles Eden, of Trinidad, Colorado,
says-' Seeing certificates of the wonderful
cures made by Brewer’s Lung Restore*-, I was
induced to try it on my little son, who was
troubled with lung or throat affection, pro
nounced bv one physician consumption. It
acted wonderfully on him. and by the time
he had taken one bottle ol it the cough dis
appeared. I am now on a vis t to my parents
in Georgia, but will return in a few days to
my home and will certainly take some of the
Lung Restorer with me.
