)r. P. R. Holt, Ecfafla. Ala.: Hatcher’s Station*. Ga., October 18th. 1883.
Dear Sin -I have been troubled with indigestion and nervous headnrhc for the last fifteen years. During that time I hare
•offered a great Gcal with periodica! attacks of headache. Having exhausted mj* own skill and tried the prescriptions of a
great many phy.-icians. I was induced to try vour Dyspeptic Elixir. You sent me a bottle about the middle of MarcV. last.
«nd I am happy to inform you that I have not stiffen'd from these i>eriodical attacks since. My indigestion is almost if not
entirely cured.' I can eat Any and everything without material injury. I have been a practicing physician for thirty years,
and have ever been opposed'to proprietary medicine. You kindly furnished me with the formula for the Elixir, and* on ex
amination can testify to the medical properties and Theranntical application and I recommend all sufferii g from indigestion
and nervous headache, or any disease arising from a torpid liver to procure a bottle of your Dysj»eptic Elixir, for it is almost
a specific in this cla» of diseases. I recommend it to my patrons and prescribe it in my practice. I would have complied
with vour request, made when I saw you last, but thought it best to delay in order to be thoroughly convinced as to its cura
tive properties. Very truly yours, L. P. DOZIER, M. D.

Dr. P. It. Holt, Eitacla. Ala. Co.wmtOLLX* General’s Office. Atlanta. Ga.. July 9th. 1883.
Dear Sir—I am pleased to report that I have been entirely cured of indigestion, by the use of vour “Dyspeptic Elixir.” I
was induced by a friend to try it after having tried almost every remedv known for niv disease, without the slightest effect.
I took only three small bottles of your medicine before I was entirely well. I suffered several years‘and although it has been
three years since I used vour preparation, I have had no return of it Yours truly,
J \\ . A. WRIGHT, Comp. Gen. State of Ga.

This is to certify that mv wife. Marv J. Hightower, suffered for six years from indigestion ami enlargement of the liver;
that she had been reduced in ttesh from 130rounds to85 pounds, and was gloomy ami despondent; that as an experiment—
and bv earnest persuasion—she was induced to try one bottle of Dr. Holt’s Dyspeptic Elixir; that she was immediately and
materially benefitted, and continuing its use a tew months, she was entirely relieved of her troubles, regained her appetite,
and now Weighs 135 pounds. The Elixir has brought us health and happiness where all other remedies had resulted m con

‘ I am going away. Miss Le

ly into her face as he speaks.
“Indeed! for long?’ There is no
trenmloiisness of tone nor heigh
tened color.
He is dissppointed; lie has hop
ed that she would show some re
luctance to part with him. “Six
months or a year, |ierliapa for
ever.” lie adds, a little bitterly.
She is startled, but she is calm
I and quiet when site answers: “We
will all be sorry to lose t on.”
“Will you lie sorry. Miss Rose?’
he questions, directly.
“Why, of course; have we not
tieen good friends?'
“Fiiends! yes; but—well, good
night. May I call agaip and say
good-bye? 1 do not start until
Monday.”
Something seems to fill her
throat and choke her; she does
not answer, but turns suddenly
and runs down the steps. She
pauses befor.e a white rose liusb.
growing beside the walk, and
picks one;'when she returns to
j him she has gained her self con
trol.
“Here is a rose for your button
hole; what was it you said? “shall
yon come anil bid ns good-bye?"
We should feel very much hurt if
vou did not.” She says all this
in an easy running tone, perfect
ly free from emotion.
As she gives him the rose, lie
takes the hand that holds it, and
kisses it twice, then liurricsawny
“Fool that I was to suppose
that she cared for me,” he mut
ters, as bestrides down the street
Wliat am I to do now?" he asks
himselfas he unlocks his door
and enters his bachelor quarters.
“Will she, or w ill she not consent
to become Mrs. Lawrence? that is j
the question.” lie flings himself
iulo a chair and puts his hoots on
the table. “My scheme has work
ed far from satisfactorily; never
llicles*, if I fail. I will go away,
anyway.; I can take a vacation
and go and sec mother.”
He gets up discontentedly and
paces the room. “By Jove! I
have it I'll write to her.’’
Miss Lec.ieasge: I cannot see
you again without telling you all
that is in my heart. Tis useless
for me to say good bye without
saying more. Useless? Nay, ini
possible! You can guess what !
mean. If you wish me to call
«=,ain semi me one word, “Come,"
and I will be with you Saturday
night. If you can not say more
than good-bye, do not reply to
iliis, ami you will never be troub
led again by E. La whence.
“There, that will settle it. I'll
ga and put it in the office to
night.”
Saturday comes and goes, but
brings no answer to Eugene Law
rence, wailing and wau-hing for
one word. He builds high hopes
in the morning, ami feels sure of
success. But is with an exceed
ingly heavy heart that he sees the
sen go down; still he does not re
linquish all hope for there may be
some delay. So he waits as pa
tiently as lie can until Monday,
which wears itself into night,
without bringing him the wel
come message. He waits one
more day, hoping against hope,
but to no purpose. Then be wear
ily packs his belongings and
leaves town.
And Rose? Longingly she waits
for the good bye visit, and won
ders much when ne comes not.
Time passes, and in the early
summer Mrs. Legrange, Rose's
mother dies, leaving Rose and her
little brother Harry to the care of
an uncle, in a distant city. After
the funeral Rose starts for her
uncle's, not knowing what else to
do, but feeling sura that she will,
not long remain dependent. Her
father has been dead many years,
and it is his brother to whom she
is going.
Mr. Legrange receives them
coldly, and very soon makes them
feel tbeir dependen.-e. Rose's is
a sensitive, high strung tempera
ment. and she thinks she could
endure anything belter than the
pettly slights ami sneers to which
she is dsily subjected in her un
cle's bouse. She takes a small
room and obtains some sewing;
the remuneration is very slight,
but as nothing else offers she is
glad to get anything, by which
she esn earn enough to get food
for herself and Harry. But soon
her rent falls due and has no
means to meet it. She is wonder
ing what she shall do; she has
just finished some sewing for Mrs.
Lawrence, but it is Saturday
night and nine o'clock, too late
for her to take it home, so she
abandons the thought of di
to morrow, ami think* Monday
morning she will give all her earr
ings to the landlord, which will
fall short of what she owes, bat
may perhaps give her a respite.
As she takes up Harry's littls torn
trowsers to mend, her eyes fall
upon a neatly tied package, mark
ed “Mrs. Lawrence,” and that
name sends her thoughts adrift,
sway back to another Saturday
night when she had watched and
waited in vain, tor the coming of
one of that name.
Presently she hears a man’s
step coming up stairs; her heart
treats faster and she holds her
breath as it pauses before tbe
door; a second passes and then
comes a knock; she is timid about
opening tbe door. She half rises,
then sinks back into her seat.
The knock is repeated. Shall
she o|>en the door? Who can it
he? The landlord, perhaps. With
this thought she rises just as the
knock is again repeated. With a
trembling hand and scared face
she opens the door.
Her nerves arc unstrung, and
she almost screams aloud as she
liclmi.ls Eugene Lawrence, but
not quite.
“I have come for some sewing
of n>y mother's." be begins, step
ping across the threshold; the
light is in his face, and he has not
recognized her.
She closes the door without
turning around, trying to keep
her face from him, but as she has
eaten nothing since the day lie
fore, her step is rather uncertain,
and she staggers forward as her!
hand leaves the knob; he springs)
toward her ami catches her arm. !
“Rose Legrange! Is it possible?' j
he exclaims, in consternation.
“At your service," she returns,;
trying to speak lightly, but sink-
ing wearily in a chair.
“Has it come to this?" lie asks,
looking around the room.
“I uru not ashamed to work,”
she says proudly.
"No. no! not ashamed to! O.
I
but that you should- be obliged !j
Will you tell me about yourself j
and how you came here?” !
"Be seated, please. If you care
to hear, I will tell you,” and nhe
resumes her mending involuntari
ly. “There is not much to tell,"
she begins; site has been sewing
a button ou Harry's pants; some
tiling drops out of the pocket and
falls on the fioor, and as she dis
covers a hole in the pocket she
empties it in order to mend
it. She takes out some twine,
marbles, an old key. nails and
many other old traps, and at the
very bottom a bit of crumpled
dirty paper; she lays them on the
table and resumes her sewing and
her story.
He picks it up mechanically
and absently smooths it out. It
is a letter, sealed and stamped
Suddenly lie becomes aware that
he is reading the name of “Miss
Rose Legrange," in his own hand
writing. He hastily tears it open
and reads his own letter to her
written over a year ago.
She is surprised at his beha
vior. “Mr. Lawrence, you forget
yourself," she says.
“Will yon be kind enough to
read that letter,” he exclaims, ex
citedly, “it is evident it never
reached you."
She takes it wonderingly, reads
it slowly, then looks inquiringly
into his eager face.
“Do yon understand?" he asks,
imploringly.
“Hardly,” she return*; then
reads it over; a light seems to
break upon her, for the tell talc
color rushes into her face and be
trays her.
“Had you received it when it
was due, what would you have
said?"
“Come.' 1 she whispers.
“My darling! my darling,” he
exclaims, folding her in his srms.
She falls limp upon his breast.
“What have I done! hare 1 kill
ed her?” he cries in alarm.
“No,” the answers faintly, “I
am only faint and weak, it will
pass presently.”
“What is it? what is the mat
ter?’
“Nothing, nothing! I have had
nothing to eat since yesterday,
and have been working all day,
and 1 am a little dizzy; that is
alL”
‘•Great heavens! that is enough!
You shall go to my mother to
night. I will not leave yon again
alone. O, that yon should have
come to this through me. Foot
that I was not to have spoken
when I saw yon, not to bare trott
ed to luck.”
She smiled at his vehemence.
“Do you know, darling, it was
all a ruse, my going sway? I just
told von that to see if you cared,
and I thought you didn’t:
“Dill you think I would let yon
see, if 1 did care?”
“And yon missed me?’
- “It almost broke my heart.”
“O, what an idiot I have been.”
“I am strong now,” she says,
releasing herself from hia em
brace.
“Ami yon will go wit j me?’ he
questions.
. “Yes,” she answer?, confiding
ly. “But wait, I will wake Harry,
we muat take him.
“I suppose so,” he returns
laughing; “the little heathen,
keeping that letter hidden away
in his |»cket for over a year.”
When they are going home they
question Harry about tbe letter,
hut he remembers nothing of it.
After much thinking be docs re
call one morning when the post
man gave him a letter to take In
to the house, and lie pul it into
Ins pocket and forgot it.
“If we had not been so i>oor,"
says Rose, laughingly,’' those old
clothes would have been thrown
away long ago and the letter with
them.—.1 rknniai? Traveler.
Epithelioma er Skis Cancer.
This form of cancer is tbe most
prevalent type, and is in many
cases fatal, as it gradually eats
away until it destroys life. It
would seem that Swift's Specific
is indeed a s|iecitic for this scourge
Mrs. K. A. Armstrong, Verona,
Miss., writes under date of My
16. 188i: “After taking six hot
lies of Swift's Specific the cancer
is healing; is greatly reduced in j
size. It now gives me no pain,
and ray general health has so
much improved that I am able to
lie up and attend to ray house
hold duties—something I had not!
been able to do in several years.
I feel that it will cure me.”
Mr. M. N. Clayton, of Red Clay,
Ga., writes under rceentdate: “Ail
painful sensations in my cancer
are decreasing. I feel decidedly
better, and the cancer has com
menoed to heal.”
Dr. M. F. Crumley, Oglethorpe,
Ga., writes under date of May
10th: “Mr. Naves, who had such
a terrible cancer on Ills face is
about well. New skin has grown
all over his ficc, and looks almost
as well as it ever did, and I would
like some ofyour company to see
bin.”
Messrs. J. & J. B. Harter, of
North Manchester, Ind.. write,
under date of May 1st: “The lady
with cancer is improving right
along. The Specific increased
the discharge fur the first few
days. bu> the soreness is gone
and she is much better.”
Mrs. W. H. Route, of Gordons-
ville, Va., writes, under date of
May 11. 1884: “I am much im
proved. The cancer is belter;
does not pain me at all. It is a
wonder to all iny friends.”
Mr. James K. Ligon, of Mich
anx Ferry, Va., writes under date
of May 19, 1884: My condition
ia greatly improved: my general
health is good; my appetite good;
cancer decidedly better, and has
begun to heal nicely. How can 1
ever repay yon?’
Mr. J. S. Rhodes, of Mill River,
N. C., writes under date. of Mav
19,1884. “My mother has been
using Swift's Specific about two
weeks, and is improving. The
cancer is not now painful and is
healing.”
Mr. T. J. Teate. of Wacissa,
Fla., writes under date oi May 2,
1884: Swift's Specific has cured a
cancer on my face, and has almost
made a young man nut of me.”
Mr. E. Tinsley, of Burr Mills,
Va., writes May I, 1884: “My
wife has taken four bottles of
Swift's Specific for a cancer and
has improved wonderfully. I
shall keep it up; have no doubt
it will cure her."

Let tbe republican managers
take all the comfort they can oat
of the Ohio election. They will
certainly need it. The election of
Cleveland does not in any sense
de|>end upon Ohio. The result
in that state will not weaken the
democratic candidates in New
ia tbe Soeth.
The following from the Septem

which hare taken place, since the
war in the Southern States:
“It must lie liorne in mind that

But the figures do not show
that the republican* have gained
any very great victory, and Mr.
Blaine’s chances arc not as good
for the presidency now as they
were the day before the election
in Ohio. Conceding to tbe re

this can give Mr. Blaine but poor

richer in its people who inherit
the virtues and accept the tradi

erous, high-toned race, who made
agriculture a pursuit, which,
while it brought wealth, made our
section distinguished for hospital
ity, and for a profusion in living
scarcely known in any other sec
tion of tbe country. This change
which the system of agriculture
has undergone, requires a stricter
regard to economy; but it will, wc
lio|>e. conduct us to a still higher
and happier civilization. Carlyle

A Few Remarks as as Appropriate

It lias become a common thing
that when a person, (specially a

for the press reporters to say that
such a one is of the best families,
and most highly respected lead
ers of society. We think it is
high time these stereotyped
phrases were left off. If newspa
per writers mast detail sensation
al accounts of crime to satisfy the
vitiated taste of the people, let

It is related of a wealthy Phila-
' delpbtan who ha9 been dead these
many years, that a young man
came to him one day and asked
for help to start in business.
“Do you drink?"’ inquired the
millionaire.
• Occasionally.”
“Stop it! stop it for a year, and
then come and see me.” * )
Then the young man broke off!
the habit at once, and at the end j
of a year again presented himself, j
“Do you smoke?’ asked the
great man.
“Yes, now and then.”
“Stop it! stop it for a year and
then come and see inc.”
The young man went away and
cut loose from the habit, and af
ter worrying through another
twelve months once more faced the
j philanthropist.
“Doyou chew?”
“Yes."
“Stop it! stop it for a year and
then come and see me.”
But the young man never called
again. YYhcn some one asked why
be didn’t make one more effort, he
replied.
“Don't I know wliat be was
driving at? He'd have told me that
as 1 bad stopped chewing, drink
ing and smoking, I must have
saved enough money to start my
self.”

Colonel W., a well known politi
cian of Virginia, with a slight lisp
in his speech, won mnch favor by
his affable manners, and the fact
that the people generally liked him
had more than once secured his
election when he ran for office.
He usually spoke to everybody he
met, professing to know llic -.i.
Once,during a Presidential cam
paign, he met a countryman whom
lie shook by the hand, and began:
“YVhy, bow do you do, thir? 1
am very* glad to thee you. A
fine day, thir! I thee yon tlitill
ride your fine old gray, thir.”
“No, sir; this horse is one I bor
rowed this morning.'’
“Oh! ah! well, thir, how arc the
old getthraan and lady?”
“My parenta have been dead
three years, sir.”
“Ali? but bow ith your wife,
thir, and the children?’’
“I am an unmarried man, sir.”

Korelties la Watermelon*.
“There’s no fear of :t watermel
on famine this season.” said a
dealer in Philadelphia as he gawd
upon a pile of the luscious, greca-
coated fruit.
“Any new varieties this year?”
“Well, we have the vanilla and
the lemon flavored watermelon
They are got by injecting the van
illa flavor or inserting a bit of lem
on into tbe stem while the melon
is growing. The flavor is taken
up by the pulp and makes a deli
cious melon. Only epicures know
of this wrinkle, and we therefore
have few of tbe doctored specie*
on sale. Yon can get a toothsome
dish by plugging a melon, inject
ing a little fine claret, restoring
the plug and allow ing the wine t«<
be taken up by the fruit. U"‘ be
ware; the combination is as seduc
tive as Roman punch.”
“Any new way of preparing tbe
melon for table?’
“Well, I've been eating melons
for forty years and I still prefer
'em plain. Some of my customers
however like'em mixed. One of
my best boarding house customers
has watermelon salad every Sun
day in the season. Sim prepare*
it, she says, just as she does let
tuce—cuts the red part of the mel
on up into bits and adds pepper,
salt, vinegar and oil. It ought to
make ’em sick, but she docs ssv
her boarders just light fori!. A: -
other family that I know of |huii-
molasscs on their melons. A good
many people I believe always
add a squeeze of Ietnon to the
fruit. A Boston family that ileal
•villi me are always particular to
have their melon* firm and just
ripe, and don't haggle about price
when they get 'em to suit. They
have tbe melons cut into little 1
strips and eat ’em with cold baked
beans. But as I said before, for
my part 1 like ’em plain."
