Spring is backward and winter stub lioriily immovable. The courageous police commissioners, of Atlanta, placed prohibition squarely on top, in the police, election last week. Col. M. I*. Stovall, the oldest di rector in the Georgia Railroad, died in Augusta, last Monday. He was a broth er of Mrs. Capt. Charlie Shelman, of this county. The Republicans were successful in the city elecfou iu Cincinnati on last Monday, but the Democrats cleaned up tbe city of Cleveland on the same day by a good round majority. The admission of negro military com panies Into the national drill at Wash ington iu May, Ims caus< and most of the white companies of the South to decline to participate. Their course will be ap proved by southern people generally. Mr. Fairchild has at last been ap pouted aud installed into the oiHce of the Secretaryship of the Treasury. Oornptioiler Maynard succeeds Mr. Fairchild to the office of Assistant Secretary. The Markham house, of Atlanta, was sold at public outcry the other day for #IOO,OOO, the purchaser being Mr. John Silvey. It will be run hereafter by a stock company composed of Messrs. Silvey, Grambling Spalding and Maj. Dan Speer. Mr. Markham will continue iu charge, with his aide assistants. The Inter-state Commerce Commis sion have established the following rule for bringing all proceedings before its sit tings: Applications made for official action of the commission shall be made by petition, which shall set forth the facts on which they are founded, and be veri fied by the oath of applicant or some authorized agent. The Texas legislature lias passed an act, which awaits the governor’s signature, to the effect that, on account of the un predented last j ear’s drouth, throughout the state, the collection of taxes be postponed. The champions of the bill state that if the taxes w’ere collected, nearly everyone’s lands would have to go to the block. Those hankering for a le moval to Texas can put this iu their pipe and smoke it. The Georgia State Sunday School Association will hold its fourteenth no rmal session at Ameiicus on the 27th, 28th and 29th, of the present mouth. Delegates should be seutfrom Hi is coun ty and their names forwarded at once to Rev. A. M. Williams, chairman recep tion committee, Americus, and also to J. C. Courtney, Secretary of the asso ciation, at Ailauta. We have been led to believe that Chat tanooga was really on a “boom,” and that hundred thousand dollar lot3 grew on trees in that bailiwick. But when a man is arrested on the streets of the town os a suspicious character just because he hap pened to have $19,000 in loose change in his pockets, we begin to look upon the toy/a with suspicion. Men with money will be careful how they show their wealth in that town hereafter. W ith all of our mineral aud agricul tural reasoun es, shall we remain noth ing more than a second rate mining town? It does seem to us that the cit izens of Cartersville are content with such a state of affairs. Every chronic grumbler would rejoice at its growth aud prosperity if he could derive benefit from it, out not oue effort will he make to bring it about. There is one thing that our people should iearn, aud that is, that no town or community ever pros pered aud advanced • without enterprise aud progress among its citizens. A scientific writer who believes in astrology says: Severul years ago as trologers called atteutiou to these con junctions aud prophesied great disaster for the year 1880 to 1887, the period during which the four great planets would make their perihelion advance aud retreat. The prognostications were ridiculed by the thoughtless, while wiser natures pondered and waited. Events have verified tho predictions cf these scientific seers. Such calamitous years as the last three nre not known to history—comets, large and small, sweep ing the heavens, earthquakes, voleauie eruptions, cyclones demolishing cities, inundations devastating provinces, droughts so severe as to produce famine, terrific gales, collisions at sea, the burn ing of vessels, tempests aud shipreck, that makes commerce a dread. Among minor evils may be mentioned showers •of electric ice, meteors, auroral and other magnetic Btorms that paralyze electric batteries or overcharge them danger ously, the fall cf suow in the summer, the strange and fearful Tuesday of Sep tember, ’Bl, icebergs iu tbe Atlantic, a procession 300 miles loug, millions of dead fish floating iu miffocean and cost upon the shores of Florida, tidal waves, one of which extended from China to California, waterspouts and avalanches, unaccountable fogß aud uucontrolable fires causing the death of thousands of human beings, railroad accidents of as tonishing destructiveness; these, with every frightful casuality, form a record of horrors that must startle even a stolid observer. This is rather startling,but the writer winds up with the following plaasant paragraph: It should encour age us iu these endeavours to remember that those learned men whose forecast enabled to predict coming disaster, as sert that we may rationally expect that an era cf unwonted universal prosperity is to succeed the year 1887, Health, clear perceptions, increased longevity. Ixmutiful harvests' tranquil skyes and seas, peace and marvellous progress are precicted for those who survive this period districiion and disaster, INTERPRETING THE INTER ETA TE COMMERCE LA IF. The all absorbing question in the minds of the American public to-day, is the ‘interpretation of the Inter-State Commerce Law. It has been many a day since tbe word of five men occa sioned such universal interest. We expressed, upon the passage of the bill, creating tbe law, a doubt as to the practicability of enforcing certain parts of the law to the letter, especially the long and short clause. This opinion seems to be maintained generally, by the press throughout tbe country. There are fea tures of the law that are wise, and if car ried into effect will result in good to the whole country. if the commissioners interpret the long aud short clause strictly, or in accordance with the recent rulings of the trunk line managers, the evil will at once be felt and made mam fast throughout the South. The Eastern lines, serving a section thickly settled, iu which the local passenger aud freight traf fic is ft r more important than with us, and in which the value of all local business far exceeds the through or long haul reven ues. They wish to see ouforeed the pro hibition of low rates for through busi ness. They can retain existing local rates aud advanoe through rates with benefit to either revenues. On the contrary if the Southern lines follow this policy, aud advance through rates to correspond with existing local rates, Southern cotton mills will be shut out of Western markets; the tobacco grower, the cotton planter, the Southern iron producer, the farmer who raises early vegetables for Northern consumers will find at once their markets restricted and their customers too expensive to reach. An esteemed and able contemporary suggests, that if the railroads, instead, reduce local rates, they will find that the population is not dense enough to yield revenue sufficient to meet fixed charges, and the value of their property at once declines. The reduction of local rates must proceed just as population increases and business improves. Low local rates exist only where these conditions pre vail. As cities grow and towns iucrease aud now roads come, at every point of crossing you have a through aud local business, anew center of competition within the range of which local rates de cline. The points of competition in crease, the benefits as low local rates ex tend, this is the natural benefits of the system, and can scarcely be changed by legislation. It will be readily seen that the opera tions of the law will have a very different effect upon the interests of the people of the two sections, —East and South. We repeat that if tho law is-oarried out to the letter, it must work disaster to every in dustrial interest of the South. But. if the commissioners are permitted broad discautiou iu construing it, they can, in their official capacity, do much towards correcting the unjust discrimin ations made against certain points in favor of others. These oppressive discriminations were the evils most sought to be corrected and prohibited bv the bill; but unfortunately for the people, the drapers of the meas ure, iu their zeal to cure oue evil, made others by tbe extremes to which they went. Now, what is most desired, is, that the commissioners so construe the law, aud see that it is executed in a manner that will do justice to all sec tions, aud injury to none. A committee from the Chamber of Commerce in Atlanta, had the honor to present the first memorial to the com missioners. They appeared in the inter est of the existiug through rates now in operation in the South, and petitioned a suspension of the long aud short haul clause. Should the commissioners de cide to suspend this section of the law, it should at the same time prohibit a discrimination in establishing through rates. There is no reason why Carters ville should not have just as good rates on loug hauls as Atlanta, Rome or Dal ton; and if the commission does not re gulate through tariffs so as to put us, as well as other points of Cartersville’s size and commercial importance, upon an equal footing with these places, theu they will have fai’el to carry out the spirit and intent of the law. MORMON TR EA CHER Y. Eight working (for their religion) Mor mon elders arrived in Chattanooga last week, who commenced operations at once in the section surrounding in working up converts Apropos of the presence of these apostles it would not be amiss to give the experience of James Bevell, of Pavola county, Miss., who became a convert of Mormouism, and after selling his farm* left with his wife and three children for the land of Mormonism, in Colorado. Hear his experience: On the 2d of March the Bevells, with 200 others, started for a Mormon settlement at Manasa, in the San Luis yalley, Colorado, They left the warm spring time and blossoming of north Mississippi, and found winter and snow storms in Colorado. Instead of the promised hospitality they found no pro vision made for them. The new comers who had money or could get it left the place at once. The Bevells prepared to return home, but were persuaded to go to Arizona, where they were told that the clime would suit them. Bad as they had found Colorado, Arizona was immeasure ably worse. The extremes of cold and heat, the sand storms, the want of build ing material, and, most of all, the charac ter of the people, made poor Bevell and his wife sick at heart. The Mormon Bishop, Layton,a wealthy man, owned the only grist mill, and his invariable rule was to take one half of the grist as toll. The chief consideration that led the Bevel's to go to Mormondom was the promise of good schools; but the schools both in Colorada and Arizona were found unfit to send children to, be cause of the influences of evil. Bevell de termined to start back to Mississippi. He arrived in Kansas City with $47, and will be assisted to reach his former home. “It has been a dear trip for me,” said Bevell, “but I’ll stop a good deal of immigration the Mormons hoped to get from my section. They don’t practice what they preach, They are the most un generous people I ever got among.'’ For the working men, I haye got the best Jeans Pants and heavy working Shirts I can buy, and they are good and don’t you forget it. * J. M. G. Montgomery, THE RED FLAG OF ANARCHY. Anarchy is ou the increase through out the United States, and unless some restraint is put upon the leaders of the cause their faction will do much to de moralize the society and labor of our country. The creed of anarchy is that of destruction and tearing down all that is elevating, appropriating other people’s property to the use of its owa subjects. The terrible Ilaymarket riot in Chicago a year ago caused people of the whole world to shudder at its atrocity, but affairs of like or worse character are likely to happeu at any time. Iu New York anarchist meetings are openly held under the nose of the authorities, where the vilest language and the most terrible threats prevail. Hen* Most, ex-convict and apostle of anarchy had a ‘‘reception” at Cooper Union, in New York, aud it was the largest meeting of the kind ever held iu that city. Most was called iu to make a speech, in which he said that he had been asked several times to go to church but refused “be cause it smelled of hell,” to use his own expression. He was proud to be an atheist, communist, socialist or anarchist. He commenced his speech iu English but his audienoe being composed of foreigners who did not well understand, he made a change to German. The applause at once became healthier. “ ‘These Piukerton scoundrels,’ he exclaimed, ‘shoot dowu defeuseless women aud children. Are you dogs, aud will you allow yourselves to be cut into mincemeat. On the sth of May our brethren threw a bomb against the-e 200 hired muiderers, aud I am proud of this lesult of my teacLing, and I have never taught more or less. [Ap plause.] The flood will soon come aud it will sweep the capitalist band out of existence. Those who do not want to work—the capitalists—must go to the gallons.’ In refering to the extradition treaty just entered iuto with Russia, Most called the czar ‘an abomuible monster,’ and alluded to President Cleveland iu ratner uucomphmentry terms. His re mark that the treaty meant the extra dition of Russia agitators iu chains to the torture of Sibera raised a perfect howl of groans aud hisses. He con cluded : ‘I am certain that you are not all an archists. ’ [Cries- of ‘Yes!’] ‘Rut lam certain that you will soon be anarchists. If we have some differ ences of opiuiou, let us be like infantry, caveiery or artillery of an array. When our enemys strike a blow against us, let us all take it up as one, aud when they seize oue of our members by the coller to throw him iuto prison, let us say, ‘we will not stand it. He must come out.’ I shall raise the red flag. I shall rally around it as many as I can to fight dowu the tyrants, and I call upon you to join me with three cheers for communism.’ The Washington Star says: “The statement of the government receipts and expenditures for the mouth of March shows the total reoeipta from all sources to be $33,358,105, iu round numbers #3,000,000 moie than for the same period last year. The expendi tures for the past mouth were $21,617, 371, an inorease of $7,635,696 over the same period last year. This will show that the accumilation of surplus was iu rouud numbers $4,000,000 less during the past month than during the sirne period a year ago. Those that fear nn extra session of congress on account of the piling up of the surplus will derive some satisfaction from the fact that the accumulation is Ipss rapid, with a pros pect that through the larger appropria tions that go iuto effect after the first of June, the increase'will be still lower. Another satisfactory showing is an in crease of the gold in the treasury of nearly eleven millions during the month, and a redaction of the silver fund bal ance over seven millions. By comparison of the controller of the currency’s report, whioh shows a decrease, during the year, of $20,036,983 iu the outstand. ing banknotes, with the Treasurer’s statement of the amount of silver cer tificates outstanding, shows that there has been only a slight contraction of the currency. Against the $29,000,000 iu banknotes retired, the iucrease of silver certificates put in circulation during the year was about forty-one million dollars of this represents $1 and $2 treasury notes withdrawn; so that the off-set iu about tvreuty six million dollars increase circulation of silver certificates, against $29,000,000 banknotes retired.” Maj. Ben: Perley Poore, the veteran Washington journalist, has completed the compilation of the veto messages of all the Presidents, the score from first to last standing as follows: Washington 3 Lincoln 1 Madison 6 Johnson 21 Monroe 1 Grant 42 Jackson,l3 Hayes 12 Tyler.,.lo Arthur.,3 Polk. 3 Cleveland...,. 113 Pierce 10 Buchanan 8 Total. 246 The record ends with the first session of the Forty-ninth Congress, Add to it President Cleveland’s thirty vetoes during the second session aud the total foots up 143, against 132 for all the other Presidents, through his term is ouly completed.

Saul Jonei Preaches on the Wags* of Sin iu Cincinnati. Cincinnati Commercial 4th. One February night about a year ago there was a crowd gathered at Music Hall that blocked the sidewalks and the street cars, and last night there was almost a repetition of that crowd and the attendant scenes. It wasn’t a riot; ’twasn’t even grand opera night. Why the crowd, why the crush, why the noise, why the excite ment? Simply, Sam Jones was announced to speak again in Music Hall on Sunday night. The mere announcement of this fact produced the crush and the crowd. It isn't often that Music Hall finds itself 30 crowded, and last night when the doors opened at 7 o’clock the wide stairway on the piazza was thronged with people wait ing the opening of the doors, and at 8 o’clock there wasn’t room enough within the great hall to set a flag-staff up on end. Sam Jones preached to as large a crowd last might at Music Hall as he has ever talked to within the past year in other cities. As Cincinnati isn’t a phenomenal ly religious city this speaks well for Mr. Jones’ admiration by the masse 3 . It was 8 o’clock when Mr. Excel, of Chicago, came to the front of the platform, which was occupied by the combined choirs of St. Paul aud Trinity churches, and sang: “He’ll Never Forsake Thee.” Mr. Excel's solo was applauded, aud he was compelled to sing it again and again. Then Mr. M. J Maxwell, also a revival singer, came forward and sang: “The Bright and Shining Star of Salvation.” The ripple of applause that followed these solos was intensified into a hurri cane when Sara Jones was seen entering the stage, and he bowed again and again his acknowledgments. Mrs. Jeannie Smith Ilealy sang “The Palms,” by Faure, and then the Rev. Mr. Douglas, of New York, delivered an eloquent prayer. Dr. I. W. Joyce announced to the crowd that Mr. Jones would preach this noon at the Y. M. C. A., this afternoon at 3 at St. Paul’s, and to night at 7:30 at Music Hall. Tne same programme will be carried out Tuesday. “This is a familiar scene,” said Mr. Jones as he avalked to the front of the stage and looked over the great crowd before him. “Many precious memories are connected with the scene before me to-night. I hope that the prayers of all may go up that this may be a memorable meeting because of the power of God that rests upon it. “My text to-night is taken from the 13th verse of the 11th chapter of Proverbs, ‘As righteousness tendeth to life so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.’ “I need no book of instruction or in spiration," continued Mr. Jones, “to teach me the rayages and the ruiu of sin upon the children of men. I might pick up your daily papers any morning, and the murders, the suicides, the drunken quar rels, the record of the police court, all teach me that this is a fact. I see to the right and the left of me, as I walk tbe streets of your city, a living, practical de monstration of the ravages of sin upon the children of men. I know that sin is doing its work day after day upon families, upon cities, upon tbe whole world. “I know the record of crime, the record of suffering, the record of infamy, the re cord of death, ignoble, shameless, fearful death bears me out in the assertion that sin is death. To believe that sin doesn’t hurt, and sin doesn’t affect injuriously, that sin doesn’t doom and damn is not only to fly in the face ot the record God has given, but is to fly in the face of every fact presented by sin to us. “Some people say I overdraw the pic ture and exaggerate tbe language, but I may go among the ruined of this city, take out a half dozen individuals; I may go, out yonder to that cemetery and disinter a half dozen poor, wicked, ruined suicides, and stand them before you to-night, and I defy all tbe language of earth and hell to exaggerate or overdraw the terrible pic ture there presented of the ravages of sin. The picture is a hideous one, and men like you and I, who have seen such things, know it is true of life, with all its terrible coloring and detail. They are living ex amples of what sin will do for a man. “Look at your work house! It is overerwd ed, the effects of sin; and, my friends, when Cincinnati puts everybody in that workhouse that ought to go there you’ll see a great many familiar faces missing on your streets, and some of them in higli places, tqo, ‘Be sure your sins will find you out.’ The biggest criminals in this town hever see the inside of your work house or your jail, but ‘Be sure your sins will find you out.’ Your sins are doing their deadly work on you as an indivld ual, as a community, ana sooner or later this terrible disease will prey on the vitals of your immortality and doom and damn you forever and ever. “As I’ve said many and many a time, ‘I know it is best to do right ’ The best thing a man ever did was to do right, and the worst thing a man ever did was to do wrong. There’s a very practical way in which sin is doing its deadly work on individuals. Righteounegs tendeth to honor, to respectability to permanent character for good; it tendeth to life here and life eternal hereafter; but just as it is true that righteousness tendeth to life, so it is true that he who pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death. “Man is a multiform being. Man is made up in sections, morally. I have a conscience, and every sin of my life is a stab at that conscience, and I’m io dy to say right now that a man can afford to do anything better than afford to sin against his conscience. The great trouble in America to-day is that the National, the State, the municipal conscience is desd— it has been stabbed to death. Right no>y, here in this city, on the very eve of elect ing men to your municipal offices, you cry, ‘Reform,reform, reform,’ but this city never can be reformed until God can dig her conscience up out of the grave and tear the grave clothes from it, and let con science awake, a living thing in tbe bosom of the men that walk the streets of this city, f‘l want to see a pity governed by con science, where public conscience is a living, a palpable thing, and not where men aie deterred from doing wrong because it’s against the law, but because their con science tells them that it is wrong, and will keep them awake at night if they do such things. The greatest check God has on humanity is His grip on a man's con science, and when a man’s conscience is dead the fear of hell Is the hangman's whip, but where you feel your conscience grip let that hour be the last. “The difficulty in this and all other lands is that men have sinned so long, have violated tl# Sabbath, have profaned the name of God, have cheated in their busi ness, have lied in their promises, day af ter day until conscience is stabbed to death: and men don’t stop to ask, ‘ls this right or wrong,’ hut ‘Row many dollars or how many votes can I make out of this? Walking through your streets to night, eouiing to Music Hall, I passed fla red mouthed saloons gaping wide open on your streets on the Sabbath night, each infested with its crew of profaning, blas pheming men. I wish to God you had a I)]ayor somewhere that would enforce the jaw* oj? flll up your work-house every Monday morning with saloon-keepers. Applause. “Now they’ll say ‘Jones has gone into politics.’ No I’m not, I’m going in for God and the ten commandments and the sermon on the Mount—and you’d better go in for that too. Mayor Hewitt, in New York, said the other day, Th enforce the law r against these dives, or I’ll discharge' every policeman on the force, and I'll ap point new ones, and if they wifi not or can not enforce the law gentlemen, my! resignation is in your hands.’ '‘My friends, you have got the red flag run up all along your streets in this town. There’s danger, too, along this line. You’ve had a thousand red flogs though on your streets, but when your court house was set on fire you had a great big red flag that had called for a halt immediately, and you got it. When you have laws that you won't enforce you're bound to have 'anarchy, aud when you have laws that you can not enforce then yiu'vegot Communism turned loose in your streets. “There is no better proof of a dead conscience than that a man persis tently does wrong, and seems to get along all r ght and well with himself and neigh bor! ‘lie that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.’ Yes, and to the death of his sensibilities. There are men in this city who have sinned past, all feel ing it sensibility about them. When you have re tched this point you are near that death that knoweth no life forever. “Be who pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death. Yes, and to the death of all powers of resistance. Life is like a nver that cuts its own channel, and after awhile flows with resistless current into the ocean. Men by force of habit map out their own course in life, and travel a ong that as the time goes with increas ing momentum until at last they can not stop, and they are swept out on the re sist ess current of their own life into an ocean of despair and damnation. “Men swear and swear all their lives, until iu the end they are nothing but the condensed quintessnece of profanity, and men lie and lie until they couldn’t tell the truth at three trials to save their life. There are women right now in this hall who follow like a butterfly the world of fashion and the way of the world and the life of the world until we had just as lieve preach to a dead horse as to preach the Gospel of the Son of God to you. You’ll die iu the ball room some day, or iu the millinery shop having anew hat fixed up! “Lots of old moneyed men right here now that will stick to the dollar and fol low tbe dollar until the passion for dol lars and stocks consumes their whole nature, and they’ll die at last with their safe key clutched in their hands. Every roll of the wheel whirls you nearer the inevitable gulf, and in addition to that gives you increased momentum, until every sir, of a man’s life gives him ad ditional impetus, taking off the airbrakes of his moral nature, and he cannot stop until he plunges off at last into the awful gulf.” A terrible picture ol the evils and. in evitable end of all men who drink was drawn by Mr. Jones, who pictured in glowing words to the audience the death bed scenes of a drunkard he knew well in the old days down in Georgia, Bob Her rick by name, a confirmed drunkard, who drank on and ou, until the terrible ap petite consumed him, and he went dowu to ruin and a drunkard’s grave. He appealed to his he irers to cease drinking immediately, as none of them knew whether, in the lottery of life and death , they would not draw the prize of the grim reaper before the sun of another Simday had set over Cincinnatti. The time to cease drinking and swearing and gambling was now, now, now. To de ter it might prove fata!, for no one knew when the summons lrom the mysterious shore would call him over to answer for the sins of his life below. “He that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.” Yes, and to death of his reason. Whoever pursues sin pursues it to the death of his reason. Sin does its work gradually on m ;n. First conscience dies, then sensibility is stabbed to death, then a 1 the air-brakes of his moral nature are loosened and will not work, and then he rushes on with nothing but his reason left. Men have been known to sin, Mr. Jones said, until their very reason refused to grasp Spiritual truth3, aud they have thought the wrong was right and the right was wrong. Sin not only perverts a man’s moral, but it twists his physical nature. There are thousands of people who think the Gospel itself is a mere sounding brass and tinkling symbal. They have done the wrong until the Gospel is absolutely a stumbling block to their course in life. God pity a man, exclaimed Mr. Jones, whose conscience is dead, whose sensibil ities are gone, whose powers of resistance have departed, and whose very mind re fuses to take hold upon the truth that will save him from death and hell. There live men, siid Mr. Jones, who, if God was to take the curtain from off the future, and show them how near death and hell tfiey were, would rush up under the cross, without a moment's delay. A man was to be pitied whose mind didn't work right on the truth. Whoever pur sueth evil pursueth it to the death of his soul. The contemplation of such a fact staggered his being—death of the soul! The two most fearful words in the English language were “death, eternal. Eternal death.” The temporary death that goes before the grave was eloquently told, and con trasted with it iu fervent language Mr. Jones drew a viyid and affecting picture of the deuih that knows no ending, the death that is a continual, eternal death, closing with an eloquent appeal to his hearers to renounce the paths of evil, and come under the banner of Christ, beneath which was life eternal, life everlasting. LYNCHING IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Five Negro Murderers Swing to a Single Limb, Columbia, S. C., April 5.—A special from Yorkville, S. C., to the Register says: This morning about 4 o’clock a body of armed men, some sixty or seventy-five in number, visited the jail at this place and demanded the keys of >-heriff Glenn, who declined to deliver them, wherepon tho doors were battered iu by the mob. Several of the company theu forced their way iuto the inner cells, where six prisoners who were recently brought from Celumbia, charged with the murder of young Good, were confined. Having selected five gut of six the mob carried them out a mile from the courthouse, where they hung them to trees with plow lines. Their names were Giles Good, Printy Thomas, B liley Doweville, Dan Roberts aud Mose Lipscomb. The lynchers were not disguised. Iu the Court of General Sessions tp. day Judge presaly oharged the Grand fury that while such cases are to be de plored, yet like iu the Edgefield case, i’ would be difficult to convict anyone, though of course he said the law should be changed a* to allow the sheriff's to summon a posse sufficient to guard their prisoners.

For twelve or fourteen years I have been a great sufferer from a terrible form of blood poison which ran into the sec ondary and finally it was pronounced ter tiary form. My head, face and shoul ders became almost a mass of corruption and finally the disease commenced eating my skull bones. I became so horribly repulsive that, for three years I absolutely refused to let people see me I used large quantities of most noted blood medicines and applied to nearly all physicians near me, but niy condition continued to grow worse, and all said that 1 must surely die. My bones became the seat of excruciating aches and pains ; my nights were passed in misery; I wa3 reduced in flesh and strength; my kidneys were terribly de ranged, and life became a burden to me 1 chanced to see an advertisement of B. B B and sent one dollar to W. C. Birclimore & Cos , merchants of our place, and they procured one bottle for me, It was used with decided benefit and when eight or ten bottles had been used I was pronounced sound and well Hundreds of scars can be seen on me, looking like a man who had been burned and then restored. My case was well known in this country, and for the benefit of others who may be similarly affected, I think it my duty to give the facts to the public,and to extend my heart felt thanks for so valuab e a remedy. I have been well over twelve months, and no return of the disease has occurred. ' Robert Ward.
