Reform in Pennsylvania is for the prohibition oi the sale of stor* & ,h- egos m that State. It hn- been found that while Atlas supported the world it was his wife who supported him. It is proper that an editor should drink ‘■age tea that his editorials may have a sage foundation. The prohibition law prohibits the state, its officers or agents from selling liquor under legal process.

Superior Court Hatters. v Hon. W. M. Spence, Judge. About eighty cases were carried over from the last term of court and are on the docket to come up in the future. C. VV. Wimberly has been clerk of this court since July 1883. He will be a candidate for reflection to succeed himself and his announces meat will appear in tine paper when the candidates for the other offices line up in that way. There are sev<_n counties in this -court district. Divorce cases in this, court are on the increase numerically. Theie are about thirty on the docket now, the aeeumulatiao of two fears. The suit of Bower •'-vs.. Cohn, to recover about six acres of land on College street, in the southwest rn part of. the city, was settled by pay ment ot mohey by Cohen and the giving to him of a deed by Bower. t Jurors for Adjourned Term of the Superior Court, to be held # on the first Monday in February (3rd) 1S98: 1 , It is v simple piece of advice but it is highly important at this time. It would do more perhaps than any the fi nancial fright-the politician’s one thing to relieve the situation. Remembering this is the begin ning of the new year, the thing to do is to pay your debts and not only A Politicians’ Scare. There is no economic reason for scare—which has been prevalent for several months. There can be no financial distress in Georgia, or in the South, with a gladden the hearts of these to whom good cron of c.Uton selling at an you owe obligations but enable them to do likewise all along tbe line. Pay trp and renew. average price of 12 cents. As pointed out by the President of the National Association of Man** ufacturers— There is no crop failure as :n 1837.

There are special reasons this year why this should be the touchstone of our people. We have just parsed through a trying experience in our financial history, of which the effects have not yet left ns. There is pers haps no one thing which would af- i ford a gn ater amount of reli i to a I large i art of oifr business men tlian ! for ve v creditor on their books to ; come forward promptly and pay | what they owe. When once tins policy is adopted and the practical operation of it ^et ! in motion it becomes really remark' | able how much a dollar can aecom- ! plish. It T not merely a question ot paying off a dollar’s worth of debt', Lor ten or a hundred dollars worth of obli.^a ions. But ev Ay debt paid euab! s someone else to.pass along thi* money through the channels o. trade, cancelling ligations as i o-oes, until ev rv u rih.r in th coui -e of a day has perhaps d ne the work of ten or a dozen dollars. On tli ! other band where everyone holds ! back nrtil some one else hss taken the initiative, the movement is stifled before it begins and the congestion and embarrassment is felt through out the entire community. There is no railroad building be- There is no wildcat banking as in 1818, 1837 and 1857. There is no greenbaok endless chain or stiver dilution of the cur renev as in 1893 to draw the go 1893 There is no gold drain to Europe follow the entrance of the moon into any ot its quarters, and that bo near the truth as to be seldom or never found to fail. 1. The nearer the time ot the moon’s change, first <Ju*>rter, full and last quarter are to midnight the fairer will be the weather dur*» ing the next seven days. 2. The space for this calculation occupies from ten at night till two next morning. 3. The nearer to midday or noon the phases of the moon happen, the more foul or wet weather may be exuected during the next seven days. 1. The space tor this calculation occupies from ten in the forenoon to two in the afternoon-. Referring principally to the summer, though affecting spring and autumn nearly in the same ratio. 5. The moon’s change, first quar ter, full and last quarter, happen ing during six of the afternoon hours, i. e., from four to ten, may tallowed by fair weather; but this is mostly dependent on the wind. 6. Though the weather, from a variety of irregular causes, is more uncertain in the latter part ofauts umn, the whole of winter, and the Star Another Forecast. 9t,h to 13th—Soft, slushy condi tions in Southern and Middle AriHbeginning ot spring, yet. in the lantic States J main the above will apply to.t'coie 14th to 18th—General rains in periods also.

WORKINGMEN EVERYWHERE USE PE-RU-NA. The Average Household finds Pe-ru-na Not Oniy-a Friend in Time of Need, But a Sav ing of Doctor Bills, Pe-ru-na is to Be Found In Thousands of Homes of the Working Men. 5 ted States is twice that of any other [nation, and onrbonds are floated in European markets on hotter terms than England’s, or Germany’s, or m anv way. Mr. Victor Patneaude, 328 Madison street, Topeka, Kas., a well-known car penter and member of Kni .-fits and Ladies of Security, writes: “Twelve years aco I had a severe at tack of la grippe and I never really re covered my health and strea&th, but grew weaker every year, until I was unable to work. “Two years ago I began nsUng Peruna and it built up my strength eo that in a conple of months I was able to go to work again.” The worst And don’t you forget it, that it : you get up early every morning and take a long walk and get lull ol “I figure,” said a Shotwell street oozone (of course not full of any. ■ millionaire, “that advertising costs I cau inter- b d his'Vis-a-vis, “yon don’t a> vei l/- • .“No, but the FI at River stores do aay my. wife I as tU-e bar. _a>n habit.” ^ thing els/A you may live to that ripe j me much moie a year than I o'. 1 age when you w-ili be an oxym-n- j afford and”— “Hold on!' i rui Java, wheie the coffee of t name is supposed and alleged* -5ome from, is twelve hundred mi' j ] ,i;:g and has a ; op Marion of thirty One hundred end wen tv millions 1 seven ini’hons.

They are subject to slight ail ments, winter and summer. A doctor is sent for every time a'petty sick ness occurs^ The expense will keep the family poor. In such a household Peruna becomes a real blessing. It promptly meets the most common ailments due to the cold of winter or the heat of summer. A stitch in time saves nine. A dose or two .of Peruna pr? serious and extended illness, many a time. The working! en everywhere have come to realize that Peruna v jrfcmjinan’s friend and saves him not only sickness, but a grea‘ dollars every year. Rev. J. G. Duke?, Pastor of the Uni tarian Church of Pinetown, N.
