This liniment is for external application. By its use the parts are relaxed and enabled to withstand not only the actual strain brought to bear on them during accouchement, but also to rally from this ordeal and speedily regain their normal proportions and tonicity. It is not irritating to the most sensitive sur faces, and U appliablc to all cases. It's not enough to call it Mother’s Friend — irt the friend of the whole family. Si.oo, all drugpsta.

Froaperity pre cedes and follow s a new railroad line, and the talk is a good indication* of the splendid condition of this section of the state. The extension of the A. & B. to Binning) am has re-’or tlv Wen trans ferred from the realm of conjecture to assurance. Among the developments of the last few days are the following rumors: The Georgia Northern running from Albany to Pldeock. will consolidate with the South Georgia road, ruumug from Quitman to Ferry, Fla. The G. N.will build from Barwick in this coun ty, to Quitman. Fart of the line exists as a tram road of the Oglesby & Bndges Lumber Co. The road will be extended from Ferry to the Gulf. There will be a later consolidation of small road from Adol to Helena, then on to Angus ta, and a lliml consolidation'into one system. A road will he built from Pollmra to Bainbridgo. From Pelham north con nection will be made with Hawkins- ville The Albany Northern now run ning from Gordele to Albany'will be built to Newton, then down the west side or the Flint river to Baiiihndge. All the above belong to the "important if true" class. imeaiyirmwi w.

WORK OF WEATHER STATION .EXPLAINED BY CHIEF What thd Thomasville Bureau will do When Estab ished The Times-E.meki'KIsk ban received from Congressman James M. Giiggs, a copy of a letter from W illis L Moore chief of the U S. Weather Bureau. It explains fully the work of the Thomas ville statiou which is to tie established in July, and is reproduced here with Hon. James M. Griggs, M. C., Washington, D. C. My dear Mr Griggs: la order that your jieoplu may ful ly undo!stand what service they may receive from the weather bureau, I will say that *e will probubly rent a cottage for an observatory, if ouo affording sui table instrumental exposure can be ob tained; if not we will secure quarters in the upper part of some one of the busi ness buildings of the city. The obser vations from thomasvillo will be tele graphed daily to Washington and nsed in the making of forecasts f«>r the south eastern district- Washington will tele graph daily forecast* to Thomasville, and cards, with the forecasts stamped thereon will be distributed to such sur rounding places as can be reached by moil before evening. Weather, cold wave, and 1 rest warning (lags will be displayed from the top of the building. A telephone w ill be installed Mild so < nected that we cau send the morning forecasts and cold wave and frost warn ings through the adjacent districts, pro vided we cau secure the co-operation of the rural com|iame* wlricli 1 presume we can. If there is a turai free delive ry sorfico leaving Thomasville, aud if you can arrange to have the carriers start after 10 a. m. we will have oar local official print tho forecasts and warniugs on stipe or papier and deliver them to the carriers for distribution aloug their routes. We will also tele graph the forecasts to tho headquarters of rural routes, and furnish the poet- masters at tin ee places with small print ing outfits, mo that they way print the forecasts, prut ided the carriers can be hold until after 10 a. ni. By this means the forecasts based upon observations taken at 8 a. m. can be distributed di rect to tue farmers. Another interesting feature of the work of the observor at Thomasville will be the delivering of informal talks to the liigu school pupils who wish to come to the staliuu aim tram of the manlier in which the automatic instrument register the different conditions of the atmos phere. Tim luetti official may imadbly, in addition to Ills bill ia duties,deliver some lectures on the phenomena of the air and climate before yonr local societies or in your public schools. # Vory truly yours, Willis L. Moore. Chief U, S. Weather Bureau NEGRO IS JAILED ON PEACE WARRANT Robert MoMillan. a negro was arrest ed Friday on a peace warrant sworn out by Mr, Wm. Miller. McMillen was working nnder Mr. Miller and sev eral days ago gave occasion for a re proof. He grew irey and drew a shove on Mr. Miller nnd seems to have been prevented from hurting him on'.y by bystanders. The negro afterwards mode vile threats. His bond was fixed at*$100.and being unable^to make it he was taken to jail, whore he will remain nntil the next term of Snperior Coart. DEAFNESS CANNOT HE CURED by local applications, «s they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cm* deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused bv an inflamed condi lion of the mucous lining of the Eusta chian Tub*. iVhi-n this tube is inflamed you have n rambling sound or imperfect hearing, anti when it is entirely dosed, D *fn»ss is the result, and unless the In flammation can be taken out and thin tube restor d to its normal condition, hea tog will be destroyed forever; nine raito-N tut of ten are caused by Catarrh, which if nothing hut an inflamed condi tion of th« mucous surface-. We will g'v* tjne Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Ball's Catarrh Cure. Send for < irculars, free. K. J. CHENEY * OO.. Toledo, O.

Woman* Ko r-o ign •MisNiou Co urntl, OUR FOREIGN MISSIONARY WORK -Tlie heathen in thftir blindness And superstition* stand, "hilo Providence In kindness Smiles ou our Christian laud. Hnw can we stand, unheeding The Gospel’s gracious call? “Go, ye," the Uhrist is pleading, “And preacli my ward to all.” ” Although Uhrist commanded His dir- ciples to go into all tho world and pieach His gospel to ovory oreeture, eighteen- and two third* ceutarlee have paused, and still eighteen hundred millions of human souls are passing on into otvrni- ly, thousands every day, without ever having heard of the Hsvior's lore, lie cause no one|has over told them. A* tho Missionary Encyclopedia give* the whole number of Protestant mis- ilonaries in the world as 12371, it will not require ■ skilled mathematician to •ee that that mean* ono missionary to every 53823 soul* to bo reached, How long It will be before the command of Christ is carried into elfect, yon can de cide. Years ago, one of onr bishops who hns long siucr. entered into rest, oat nr a fall and burdened heart ex claimed, "When shall we cease to play at missions;” WHAT HAVE THE WOMEN OF SOUTH GEORGIA DONE FOR MISSIONS? The Hist year after organization 1880, twenty*Hve yean ago 1170.80 was paid Into tho treasury, lout year the Son'h Georgia Conference raised for ail pur poses (15,205.13, ail Inorease of *3.88157 over ten previous rear. Since organi zation *130,105.07 lias boon raised for all purpoars aud applied by the Wo man’s Board on purcliaae of property, oreotlon of Luilding, support of mission- nries, Bible women and •oholerehipe and tlie varions oilier branqlies of onr work. A small part of tills has been need for alio expenses of tlio looal conference work. WHAT HAVE THK WOMEN OF THOMASVILLE DONE? Our District Secretary, in her last re port to ilie Annual Conference of the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society, nays: "Our district ha. accomplished more the past year than any in its his tory, aud we praise Uod today lor His Holy Spirit at work ou tils hearts and conscience, ut our women, arousing them to greater acuiity aud eiutUiug them to see their glorious opportunities as uever before. We raised lost year fnra;l pnr|iosos *1523.33." Of this amount *423.15 was contribu ted in Tliomasville; viz. *343.05 by the Woman's Foreigu Missionary Society; *3,..«»by i..u „olf Links of Tliomzs- Si... aim k'—.u by the Juveniles. Uzu it bo said of each oue of ns zs wzs said of ono old woman, "She hath deue what the could.” THK DOOR STANDS OPEN—WHO SHALL KNTKK? A marvel of tlie Eastern world, whose Importance cannot be overrated, is tlie awaking now in program in Oliina. Tba empire it shaking itself free from the sleep of ogee; dissatisfaction with pres ent condition grows; desire for Western learning is becoming a craze among the educated. Meautime^Japanoae teaoliers are being called to take charge of Ohl note schools from Peking to the Tibetan frontier. ’Hie door Is also wide open for an increase of Christian educational enterprises. It will not, however, sl- wnys 'remain open. If tho Christian Church does not seise the present great opportunity in Oliina. and Buddha, in stead of Uhrist, beoomes the ideal which dominates tlie new .thought of Oliina, we shall hare to make note sad- ly.ouce more of the fact that opportuni ty dors not wait for laggards. A remarkable cliange seems to have oome over the Chinese people in regard to tlie work of tlie missionaries. Bveiy. whore schools are crowded, ohspels are Hlled to overflowing, and there is an eagerness to reoetve the religion of the foreigners inch os has never been know n before. In one piece two opium shops, hitherto very prosperous, lisve been ob liged to dose their doors for look of onstomers, tlie Christian Jyoung men of the town having conducted such a sac- oemful crusade against the opinmhabit. Another fact indicates a groat change. Formerly the selling of portions of tba Scriptures was a slow and difflodt talk. Now a man can roil 1,000copies a month The people boy and the people read — Mimioaary Advooate. SELF-KNOWLEDGE OF GREATIMPOKVaNC^ The Knowledge of How the Homan Body is Constincted and Kapt in Repair, or Destroyed. SHOULD BE OF VAST IMPORTANCE TO EACH INDIVIDUAL. The human system when la perfect health is like a brightly burning candle, bnt if it once got oat of order, ttomaoh deranged, liver stagnant, nerves un- strong, appetite gone, blood beoomlng poor and thin, eirenlation diminished, heart weak, and tho cu.ile bums at both ends. It thon becomes necessary to tone ap and dean oat the stomaoh anil bowels, stimulate tl,e liver e ear tha dogged kidneys, and cleauie and partly the blood. Tlie bent mediotne to do tt is Dillingham's Plant Juice. When tlie stomach is weak, when the kidneys are enfeebled, win u tlie assim ilative powers need strengthening, then the process of nntritlou is hindered and an acid condition of Ihe system ia pro- dnond. Tlie blood oontsimug an exoes- siro amount of area and orio sold, soon tlie result is rheumatism—a dread di sease witli many foru,s, and I ho greatest variety of pallia and aches. It was the antiqanted—bnt now hap pily exploded—method In the good old times to treat salt rhenm, scrofula, can cer and other tronbieeome disorders arising from impure blood, with power ful alternatives tnoh aa mercury, enenio and oilier mineral agents. It wee ex pected by tliis treatment that the potion coaid be killed while the blood wee left to oooree through its channels, bolding in lie eirenlation Ihe ipeoiflo germ of the disease; bat in this way every part of the body became more or lees diseased There is only one soientlllo method for tlie enre of blood-taint—that is, porid- cation! Every particle of the blood must be removed through the excretory channels, the longs, kidneys, bowels, liver end skin. "First pore, thon pesos- able.” Tlie great restorative, reconstructive and vttalizer of the blood, Dillingham's Plant Juice, not duly radically and ex haustively removes the taint, bnt also removes all mercury, calomel end other material*, aud flile the vetus end arter ies with the ruby flowing cumnl of vi tality. The blood la life." Good health means pare blood. Tbe old and reliable romody, Dillingham’s Plant Jnioe, Is universally regarded as the .greatest m putiller ever discovered. The foot la now established beyond question oijoavll. For isle nnder a positive guarantee by J. W. Peacock in Thomasville. Mm Isobel H. Miller of Rochester N- Y. is at the Masary, Mr. J. W.
