Arc You m Easily Tired? Just remember that all your strength must come from your food. Did you ever think of that ? Perhaps your muscles need more strength, or your nerves; or perhaps your stomach is weak and cannot digest what you eat. If you need more strength then take SSOTT’S EMULSION or Cod-Liver Oil with Hypo phosphites. The oil is the most easily changed of all foods into strength ; and the hypophos • phitos e-re the best a Jry tonics for the nerves.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBERIO 1898 An exchange hits the nail squarely on the head when it says; “When ever yoa hear a man finding fault of his local paper, epen it, ten to one he hasn’t an advertisement in it, five te one he never gives it job of printiug; three to ne that he does not take the paper; two to one if he is a sub scriber he is a delfnquent, Even odds he never does anything in any way that will assist ti e pubiV'er to run a good paper, and forty to one if the paper is good and full of life, he is the most eager to see it when it conies out. oxit a, g wra the Kind You Haw Always BmM During the present session of fbe legislature Governor Candler will liave the appointment of between thirty and foity conntj judger and solicitors, and it begins to look a though there were eonsc-sts iu nine out of every ten of these plams.

Governor Atkinson, in his message t* the legislature last week, says of the problem of tax returns in Gear s'a: Under tlie present system of mak ing tax returns, outside of where the returns are affected by local assess ment systems of towns and cities, each man is his owu tax assessor and places upon his property |stich value as he secs fit, even himself in many instan es confessing that the amount at which it has been returned by him fer taxes bears no approximate rela tion to the real value of the property While the legislature nominally fixes the tax rrt# for the state to be col- IfC ed from her citizens, each citizen lms the power to fix bis own tax rate, and many of them do fix it at an un justly low rate by placiug a valuation upon their property far below its value, and on a scale much lower than that by which the property of their neighbor is valued. The man who pays taxes upon property un fairly valued at SSOO, while on prop erty of the Fame value his neighbor pays on SI,OOO, is loweiing his own tax rate one half, depriving the state of its just ’revenue and placing an unjust burden upon his honest neigh bor who values his property correstlo. I raest earnestly reccommend that some ;1 m bo devised by which the tate can arrive at something like a just valuation of the property of its citizens subject to taxation, and pre lect the man who honectly returns his taxes against proper valuation. It is well to bear in mind that any plan which you may adopt will when put into practical operation, prove imperfect; but as these defects appear .t will be the duty of your successors to cored them and contmne to per fect the law. Certain it is that no system that can be adopted can be open to greater abuses or more fla grant injnstice than tbe law under which our property i now returned for taxation. A proper plan if as sessment of property fnr taxation will not only equalize values, but place upon tho tax books a vast amount of personal effects which now escape taxation. —Ex. A CURE FOR DYPEPSIA. I was troubled with liger trouble and my stomach was out of order, and after eating my baeakfast would throw up what I eot. It went on this way for about two years.

I use them occasionly yet, always when iu need of pills. I consider them the nest pill on the market, aud feci safe in fjayiug they are tba finest things ov-r used.—John Livesay, Luther Hancock Cos,. Teen. Tlie Stars Will Fall. The stars will fall on the night of Nov. I4th just before day. Don’t t'a lto see it. This phenomenon has been traced back to the year 902, and it has been found to occur once in 33 years and 2 days. The last time was Nov. 12, 1565- The tim before that was Nov. 10, 1832, which many of our old citizens, remember as causing great consternation and fear that the world was coming to an end 1 The fall ng stars which we wili see on the 14th will be the same oees that have been passiue every 33 years for perhaps millians of ages They are homeless orphans—have nowhere to stop—no relatives or friends anywhere—but tike the Wan dering .Jew they are destined to ■‘move on’ forever.

Hut so many times pneumonia is not cured that prevention becomes the natural act of that instinct of self preservation which is “ the first law of nature.” Pneumonia can be pre vented and is often cured by the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. “Some years ago I had a severe cold aai was threatened with pneumonia. 1 could neither eat nor sleep, and was in a wretched condition. I procured a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and took it according to the directions, and at tho end of fifteen daysw os as well and sound as before the attack. I have recommended it In many cases of pneu monia since, and have never known it to fail in elfocting a cure."

Address MUNN A CO-, Jg* (?iii UruuUwuy, aisn A Cvwttvry For Old Clothes. In the north of Loudon there is a Ilk. tie plot of ground where old clothes are buried and afterward exhumed for a Curious purposo. It is a flat, barren and destitute piece of ground and presents a Very melancholy spectacle. Little wood en stumps, bearing numbers, mark tbe graves. There i* a paper mill near by, which finds it rather difficult to get suitable material for the manufacture of a spooial paper. The ordinary old rags are no good. The rags themselves have to be manu factured. Old coats, old trousers and old dresses are covered with wet soil, and after a few weeks’ rotting are ex humed. A corner is set asido for old linen goods. The linen is placed in layers in a box, with soft rich soil between each layer, and then buried. Limewater is then sprinkled over the grave, and after a fortnight’s rot ting tho linen is reduced to a mere skeleton, which is taken out of the box, laid flat in a warm blanket and rush ed olf to the paper mill. Though it if only tho size of a foot hall grounu, it contains 2,000 graves, which are marked by 3,000 wooden stunros. each bearing a number. Mulberry Sellers. One day while Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner were walking together they happenad to begin a dis cussion of tbe modern novel, end ono or the other suggested that it might be a good plan to burlesque it. Later while journeying together to Boston this sug gestion took definite chap . and on their return tho work was begun, one author writing a chapter, tho other taking up the threads of the story the next day, and both critically examining the result each evening and asking tbe opinions of their wives as to tbe success of each stage of the undertaking. Finally they collected all the manuscript, of which there was too great a quantity, and jointly condonsed it. It was owing to a suggestion by Mr. Warner that the chief character in tho talo was called Colonel Eschol Sellers, and it is a fact that the man whose name was taken —a man supposed to be long doad—made a fiery demand for satisfaction, visiting Hartford for that purpose. In later edi tions of the story tne name "Esohoi” was charmed to "Mulberry.”—-Ladies’ Homo Journo. Ah to th Linlifi.

Colonel John W. Caldwell, who went through the civil war, tells an amusing story about a Louisville company which served in his command. He says: “Wo were camped in Tennessee.
