About twenty years ago I discovered s little sore on my cheek, and the dostort psa
nounced it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma
nent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine tuey applied
was like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what
S. 8. S. had done for others similarly afflicted/ I procured some at once. Before I hud used
the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. My general
health had been bad for two or three years—l haa a hacking cougu ana spit blood contin
ually. I had a severe pain m my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. S. my cough left
me and I grew stouter than I hail beeu for several years. My cancer bas healed over all bat
a little spot about the slxe of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. I would Sdviis
every one with cancer to give S. 8. 8. a fair trial.

TATTLER'S LETTER.
He Gives an Interesting Letter on the
Great Law School.
Special Correspondence Courant-Amebicax.
The Law da** of the Georgetown uni
versity has been unusually large and in
teresting this year. More than one hun
dred young nten have Iteen in regular
attendance, and the interest in the course
of study has been constantly increasing.
It is pleasant to be with ho many ener
getic, ambitious young fellows. The
friction of mind rubbing against mind
keeps one awake, tfnd the rivalry to excel
keeps alive a desire to study.
With but very few exceptions every
state and territory in the United States
is represented, and it would not be an
easy matter to bring together one hun
dred and twenty-live boys of greater
promise than those who assemble every
evening at 0 o’clock in the halls of the
law building, on the corner of Sixth and
F streets, in this city. The most inter
esting time to see the class together is on
the evenings when we have written exam
inations. These occasions occur altout
once a month, and usually cover an en
tire text-book on some special branch of
the law. Long tables are arranged for
the students, and writing materials tire
provided for each one. As the student
enters the hall he is furnished with a
printed slip containing the questions to be
answered. And it is when they are ranged
in long rows across the hall, each intent
on his work, that they present a picture
that is a study for an artist. There is
usually a solemn-looking professor sit
ting silently at the head of the room.
No books are allowed, and no “telling"
is jtermitted. The hard, rigid questions
stare them in the face. They must be
answered. It’s a solemn time for the
boys—l sjteak from experience.
But in the very midst of the solemni
ties of the occasion I have found time to
look about me, and would sometimes
find myself smiling tit the varying and
comically solemn expressions of counte
nances up and down the tables. But it
is such exercises as these that give train
ing and system to the mind, and the
boys have several times been compli
mented of late by the professors for the
high grade of the examination papers
turned in. In addition to the regular
written examinations, we have “quiz"
exercises twice every week.
It may not be uninteresting to write
something of the members of the Law
school faculty. We have four regular
lecturers, besides the judge of the Moot
court, and occasional lecturers on special
subjects. It is a rare thing, I think, to
find in a college that all the professors
are liked by the boys, but such seems to
be the case in this university. We have
not a single professor who has not the
resjtect, confidence and friendship of the
students. Then* are degrees of populari
ty, no doubt, but none of them are dis
liked or disrespected.
Judge John W, Ross presides over the
Moot court. He is an Illinois man, but
now lives in Washington and has a nice
law practice. He has a quiet dignity
about him that never fails to command
respect, and manages to preserve good
order among the boys during Die ses
sions of the court, which are held ou
Thursday and Saturday evenings of each
week. Judge Ross is a man about 45, is
tall and well made, lias a ruddy com
plexion and wears a mustache that is
beginning to turn gray. His voice is
mild and his manners quiet. He is pleas
ant in conversation and is easily ap
proached by the students. His opinions
are delivered after careful investigation,
and some of them are models of clear-
news ami correctness.
Joseph J. Darlington, Esq., is our lec
turer on contracts, personal property
and commercial law. He is quite a young
man to occupy so responsible a position,
being about 35 years old. He is a South
Carolinian, and has that peculiar grace
and culture that has so long character
ized the best class of the people of that
state. He writes his law lectures and
reads them to the class. His entrance
into the hall is the signal for applause
from the students. He always acknowl
edges the compliment with a smile and a
bow, and mounts the stand with a quick,'
firm step, and enters at once into the
subject of his lesson. His lectures are
just an hour in length, usually not vary
ing five minutes from that time either
way. Mr. Darlington is recognized as
one of the most careful and thorough
young lawyers in the city, and he is very
successful as a practitioner. He is a
graduate of the law school in which he
now lectures, and came to Washington
some ten years ago a very poor youiig
man. I learn that he has a law practice
that pays him from sl>,ooo to SIO,OOO a
year; and 1 happen to know that he has
accumulated a very handsome property
in this city.
Mr. James H. Payne is the lecturer on
real estate and evidence. He has the
reputation of lieing a very fine lawyer,
and was recently almost unanimously
indorsed by the Washington bar for the
appointment os one of the judges of the
Supreme court of the District of Colum
bia. He is not a man of very many
words and does not seem to get acquaint
ed with the boys easily. But he is a
pleasant lecturer, and is particularly
concise and correct in his statement of
law principles—perhaps too mnch so for
the sluggish mind of a plodding law stu
dent. He sits down to deliver his lectures.
His style is purely conversational, but
his Y-oice is so well modulated as to be
heard easily in all parts of the hall. Mr.
Payne is a small man, has quick, keen
eyes and a thin face. He is that sort of
a lawyer who sees a point easily and gets
to it before most men would have seen ti.
Hon. Martin F. Morris lectures on
torts, and equity and jurisprudence. He
is acknowledged, 1 think, to l>e one of
the best—if not the very best—equity
lawyer in Washington. And yet he is
one of the most modest and retiring men
I have met. There is something about
him that makes one like him and want
to trust him —I mean trust in his judg
ment. hiH learning and his ability, lie is
a profound man, fell of learning and the
sort of wisdom that makes one truly
wise. He has a grave, almost serious
faee. and yet in his lectures he often re
laxes into a smile, and will occasionally
Iterpetrate a joke of the milder order,
le leans quietly back in his chair and
talks to the boys in a plain way, and
enunciates the great principles of the law
so simply and naturally that they really
seem easy, and one feels surprised not
to have thought of that before. It is not
necessary to say the boys like him and
swear by him almost when it comes to a
question of law.
Judge William M. Merrick is the lectur
er on common law. pleading and equity
practice, and also lectures on the consti
tution. He is one of the judges of the
Supreme court of the District, and ranks,
I am told, among the leet constitutional
lawyers of the country. He is a tall,lean
man. with stooping shoulders, florid
complexion and prominent nose. I can
describe him no lietter than by saying he
looks very much like I)r. Felton. And 1
think the order of his intellect and his
manner of expression nre also similar in
many respects to those of Dr. Felton.
He delivers his lectures standing, and
usually from manuscript, and is the only
one of our lecturers who deals much in
speculation or gives his fancy any scope
in lecturing. He sometimes gives us
lieautifully rounded jteriods and touches
of almost stirring eloquence. His lec
tures on the constitution are just simply
splendid. He is a Democrat, a strict
constructionist and a states-rights advo
cate, and while he does not bring politics
ing his lectures, heso reads and discusses
the old constitution tis to make a Demo
crat feel immensely satisfied with his con
victions. Judge Merrick seems to love
the constitution. His discussions of it
an* touched with an almost affectionate
tenderness. I have sometimes seen his
eyes dim and heard hi s'voice grow husky
as he talked ou tins subject. And he
often grows so feeling as to cause the
boys to break forth in spontaneous ap
plause. He has a great fondness for his
boys, and is ever ready to answer any
question that may be suggested.
Altogether we have a splendid faculty.
They are lawyers of the higher and better
order, who teach us that the safe and
sure road to honorable success in the
profession is that of integrity and fair
dealing.
And now in a few weeks the session of
1886-7 will close, after which there will
lie a grand commencement at the new
National theater, when we boys 'will ap
pear on the stage in our “swallow-tail”
coats and receive our sheep-skins. There
will, of course, be an immense crowd of
jteople, a great display of flowers, and a
burst of music and a flourish of trumpets.
The Tattler gives to his friends in Geor
gia a hearty welcome to come. The day
is June 2, and if among the sea of faces
filling that great theater I should catch
the sparkle of an eye or the gleam of a
smile coming from the face of some fair
Georgian. I should be very proud* and
very happy. Tattler.
ADAIRSVILLE NOTES.
A lleautiful Park—TUa Grave, of Two
Loue Picket. Properly Cared Per.
Within five hundred yards of the depot
iu Adaimville is a natural park belonging
to Mr. James H. Veach, that for Iteauty
iu all the perfection of our native forest
growth can not be surpassed in Georgia,
and we doubt if its superior can be found
anywhere. Grand oaks —four of them
over 6 feet through at the base and from
80 to 100 feet high—maple, beech, hack
berry, crubapple, hickory, walnut, elm—
till are here to perfection. The park con
tains Home fifteen acres, and were it in
the vicinity of a city its eulogies would
be heralded everywhere. Our worthy
fellow-citizen, appreciating its beauty,
keeps it sacred from the woodman’s ax.
A stroll in this lovely park these sweet
May mornings is not only invigorating
to the body, but inspiring to the soul.
The music of a thousand birds form a
choir, while iu every branch is a pulpit
and in every leaf a sermon moreeloquent
than was ever preached by priest or pre
late.
In full view of the park Mr. Thomas
Turner is completing a beautiful home.
The success of this excellent citizen and
sterling man is a complete answer to the
croaking idler who is lounging iu the
shade, grumbling and gossiping, cursing
what he calls “bad luck,” and going to
the devil or the poor-house. Six years
ago Turner was a tenant and without a
dollar. By patient toil, well-directed la
bor and the exercise of prudent economy
he has become more independent, a land
lord and an example worthy of all com
mendation and emulation. There is not
under the sun a more beautiful or a more
fertile country than we have here in Bar
tow.
There is buried near the Dearing place,
in the southern limit of our town, and
within thirty feet of where they fell, two
Confederate pickets. During the past
week their graves have been handsomely
inclosed with a neat and substantial
picket fence, nicely painted, and a head
board erected, bearing on its face this in
scription:
TWO UNKNOWN CONFEDERATE
PICK E T S ,
Who were Killed at this Place, in the
Discharge of the Highest Duty
Known to Civilized Man.
Pause here and Honor the Spot
where these Patriot Heroes Sleep!
Think of the Immortal Bivouac of
the Brave and True, where
They are Known.
On the south side of the inclosure is a
handsome shield, bearing on its face a
Confederate battle-flag, with a broken
shaft, below which are the words,
“In Memoriam.”
The whole structure is a very tasty de
sign, the work of Mr. Alex. Caj>ers.
The appointment of our excellent friend
and fellow-citizen, Col. Henry I). Capers,
as a director and the general attorney of
the Atlantic, Birmingham and Western
Railroad company is a recognition of
superior merit. The life of Col. Capers
among us for years has been an open
book, full of goodness, and a real bless
ing to our people. Prudent, cultured,
full of energy and as generous and kind
as a true cavalier, his many friends re
joice to know that his abilities and indus
try have lieen so projierly recognized.
The duties of this office will not require
the colonel to remove his home and citi
zenship. His office here will in his ab
sent* l>e in charge of his son, Mr. Alexan
der Capers, a worthy chip from a first
class block.
There was never a more promising
wheat crop in the Oothcnlogn valley.
Old farmers report that the indications
for a very large yield of wheat and clover
were never letter, if as favorable. Of
course this makes us all very cheerful.
We are well informed that an Episcopal
chapel, under the auspices of the diocese
of Georgia, will be erected in Adalrsville
within the year. There are several mem
ber* of this denomination here, and we
say welcome to all who bring with them
the spirit of Christian gentility.
“Adairsvifle Rifles, attention!” will be
heard again soon. We understand this
company is to be reorganized and will be
in the pictures again. H. M. J.
WHERE HE DREW THE LINK.
Harper's Magazine for May.]
One afternoon a half-drunken fellow
got on one of the Louisville and Nash
ville sleeping-cars bound North. When
the conductor showed him to his seat, he
found a clean, well-dressed, gentlemanly
looking colons! man to be his partner
in that section and occupying a seat
facing his. He at once began in a
drunken fashion to abuse the negro, ac
cusing him of trying to “set up for white
folks, doing the dude act in charcoal, etc.,
and finally got up from his seat, declar
ing that he’d “be dinged if he’d set'thar
and be out-done by a blasted nigger in a
high silk hat.”
The conductor, to keep the jieace and
prevent any disturbance in his car, led
the indignant patron of old Kentucky
bourbon to a seat in another part of the
car. Next morning the drunken man,
who was not a bad fellow at heart, had
sol>ered up considerably, and, with some
remembrance of his previous misconduct,
went over to the colored man’s seat and
commented to apologize by saying he
had l>een “a little off his base” the even
ing before, and did not mean any harm
by anything he might have said; that he
hadn’t anything against the “niggers,”
and was always their friend when they
behaved themselves. So lie hoped the
stranger would see that in anything that
had passed he had meant to ]>ersonal of
fense to him. “That is all right, sir,”
said the colored man, with politeness.
“I saw your condition at once, and of
course, under the circumstances, did not
consider you responsible for your acts at
that time. Your apology this morning
makes your amend honorable. Allow
me"—at the same time offering his card
to his former persecutor. The drunken
man drew back as if he had been shot.
“Look a-here. Mr. Nigger,” he cried in
great excitement, “Iliad made up my
mind to stand the cut-away coat and
the stove-pipe hat, but I’ll lie durned if I
can stand a nigger with a kvard!”
HENRY AY. GRADY.
THE GIFTED YOUNG STATESMAN
TO THE FRONT.
The New York Herald Put. Him Forward
a. It. Candidate for A'ice President.
How Would “ Cleveland and
Grady ” Suit Your Fancy?
In Tuesday's New York Herald we find
the following among its leading edito
rials:
“An anonymous senator is reported iu
the Baltimore Sun as saying:
I see three candidates for the vice pres
idency went south this morning to look
after their fences. I refer to Postmaster
General Vilas, Secretary Lamar and Sen
ator Voorhees. either of whom would be
pleased to have lightning strike in his di
rection. There will undoubtedly be lively
times before these three gentlemen return
from Charleston, but iu my opinion La
mar is the strongest, and he will le the
most popular among the jteople whom
the party propose to visit.
“All right, We don't profess to know
whether Mr. Grady, of Georgia, would be
pleased to have the vice presidential
lightning ‘striking in his direction,’ but
in the Herald's judgment Mr. Grady’s
name would look better on the ticket
next year than that of any other man
spoken of.
“The senator reported by the Balti
more Sun believes that Mr. Cleveland will
be renominated, and he Itelieves, also,
that Mr. Cleveland will carry the election
by a much larger majority than before.
Well, how would ‘Cleveland and Grady’
do?
Certainly Mr. Grady’s name on the
ticket would not weaken it anywhere in
any section or state. Mr. Vilas, Mr. La
mar and Mr. Voorhees, says the senator,
‘have gone down south to fix up their
fences.’ Mr. Grady’s fences are all up;
they need no ‘fixing.’ No Southern man
stands higher—very few so high—iu the
esteem and confidence of Northern men
everywhere as Mr. Grady. No one is
more widely or more favorably known.
“The false reports about Mr. Cleve
land's intention to refuse a renomina
tiou have had the effect to bring out
from many prominent Democrats decla
rations that he is strong with the party
and the country, and that his renomina
tion is desirable and certain. There tire
many evidences, besides, that the party
is rallying about the President, and that
the tribe of O'Donohues is disappearing.
“As for Mr. Grady, his great and fatu
ous speech, hailed with delight by both
North and South as expressing the pa
triotic sentiments of both and till sec
tions, places him iu the forefront of the
party, and insures him the confidence and
favor of the whole country. His name
as vice president on the ticket would add
strength to it more than that of any
Southern or any Northern man. It
would stand for a thorough and final rec
onciliation between the North and South,
and would appeal to every patriotic sen
timent in the couutry.
“What do the Democratic leaders think
of it? If they will inquire among their
people they will discover that the Demo
cratic masses think well of it.”
A GOOD SIGN.
Baltimore Heronl.]
It is gratifying to note that the wild
speculative fever which for a few weeks
threatened to run into a regular “land
booming” business has somewhat sub
sided, and that business men, instead of
devoting their time and money to real
estate speculative operations, are giving
their attention to the actual develop
ment of the industrial interests of their
section. As we have previously stated,
many of the large land companies or
ganized in the south during the last few
months have a solid foundation for
present and future prosperity, and it is
through their exertions that a very large
proportion of the new enterprises that
are being established there have been se
cured. But the great and well-deserved
success of these companies caused almost
a craze for real estate dealings for
awhile. This feverish tendency has
abated without having done any jierma
nent harm; in fact, this speculation did
good. It attracted outside capital and
advanced the price of real estate, which
was too low throughout a great part of
the south. Having done this, it has
quieted down and left the people of that
section in a proper frame of mind for a
more vigorous and determined effort
than ever before in building up their
manufacturing interests. If the real es
tate speculation had gone on indefinitely
it would have done harm; as it is, it did
good. It awakened the people to the
vast possibilities of their country and
stimulated them to new energy; it perma
nently lifted the value of property over
large areas, and from these centers of
activity will spread Influences that will
make the whole south more prosperous.
Of course, there will come renewed specu
lation at times, but the tendency to wild
boomiug has, we believe, been pretty ef
fectually killed. The south is now mov
ing steadily and rapidly on towards a
solid and enduring prosperity, and never
before was tho outlook so bright.
That Holy Name, “Motlier.”
Nothing is more ennobling than to see
a child devoted to its mother; but how
much more beautiful to see that same
tender care exhibited when that child is
grown up to manhood or womanhood?
It is an old theme to sing the praises of
the mother, but the world sings them yet
and will sing them forever. Many a stern
heart has grown softer when gazing upon
the innocent love of a tender mother
cherishing her tieloved child. If there is
anything Godlike in this world we believe
it is a mother’s love—a love that begins
with theearliest breath,continues through
life and ends not with the grave. Only a
mother can know the pangs caused by
the wayward actions of her child. Only
a mother can tell the heavenly rapture
that fills the heart when that child has
been redeemed.
“My mother! At that holy name
Within my bosom there’s a kuhli
Of feelinpr which no time can tame;
A feeling which for years of fame
1 would not, could not crush!’’
Lord Macaulay pays the following
beautiful tribute to his mother:
“Children, look in those eyes; listen to
that dear voice; notice the feeling of even
a single touch that is bestowed upon you
by that hand! Make much of it while
yet you have that most precious of all
gifts, a loving mother. Read the un
fathomable love of those eyes; the kind
anxiety of that touch and look, however
slight your pain. In after-life you may
have friends, but never will you have
again the inexpressible love and gentle
ness-lavished upon you which none but a
mother liestows. Often do I sigh in the
struggles with the hard, uncaring world
for the sweet, deep security I felt whe of
an evening, nestling in her bosom, I lis
tened to some quiet tale, suitable to my
age, read in her untiring voice. Never
can I forget her sweet glances cast upon
me when I appeared asleep; never her
kiss of peace at night. Years have passed
away since we laid her beside my father
in the old churchvard;"yet still her voice
whispers from the grave, and her eye
watches over me as I visit spots long
since hallowed to the memory of my
mother.”
BIG BONANZAS FOUND.
The Historic Mines of Mexico, So Loutg
Lost, Reported l>i*coverel Again.
A special dispatch from the City of
Mexico triumphantly announces the dis
covery of two of the seven lost bonanza
mines by an American party of prosiiecfc
ors, Humboldt and Hamilton speak ot
the fabulous wealth obtained from these
mines by Spaniards. They were worked
up to the middle of the last century.
In 175 G the Indians swept over North
ern Mexico and destroyed Chihuahua and
all the miners were driven out. The In
dians held control of the country so long
that all records were lost. Recently
Lieut. Kipper, formerly of the United
States Army: W. K. Glenn, of Illinois;
Capt. Allen and ,1. Melntire, of Chicago,
went out on a surveying ex|>edition in
the interest of a Sonora land company,
and in an old chapel found maps and
other data. Dividing into four small
parties* a thorough search was begun
and Mclntire's party located what is be
lieved to be the “Layopu” silver mine. It
is in the midst of thousands of ruined
buildings, among large churches' and
forts. Within a radius of four miles are
-120 workings, old Spanish furnaces and
tons of slag. A few days later Powers’
party reported the discovery of the Guay -
nopa in the heart of the Sierra Mad re
mountains. Around it are the ruins of
118 rastoras.
Advices from Nogales confirm the re
port, and state that a greater placer
field has been located where the Jesuits
of 200 years ago found fortunes for the
church. Great excitement in mining cir
cles prevails.
The Gunynopa mine is a fre<*-inilling
gold mine. It is in the heart of the Sier
ra Madre mountains, and the workings
an? near the top of a conical-shaped
mountain. A road hewn through the
solid rocks circles around this mountain,
starting from the water at the base and
leading to the mine. ()ne chamber of the
mine is 100 feet wide, 400 feet long and
90 feet high. This will give an idea of
how the mine was worked by the Span
iards. There is no dump; every pound
of rock has been taken out and carried
down the mountain and worked, which is
evidence that the ore is homogenous and
all rich enough to go to the rastora.
There are the ruins of 118 rastoras at
the foot of the mountain. The rastora
was the old Spanish and Mexican stamp
mill. Mr. Powers has claimed this mine
for Mr. Kruse and himself. The ore
brought out has been assayed and gives
SflG to the ton, it being perfectly free
milling. By way of comparison it may
be stated that the Homestake, probably
the most profitable gold mine at this
time in the States, pays SIOO,OOO a
month on ore which yields $5.80 a ton.
Close by this mine was found the de
serted stronghold of the Apaches. There
were forts on the mountain tops and tons
of jerked meat were scattered about.
The Apaches had utilized the houses from
which the miners had been driven. There
were indications of Indian occupancy ex
tending through many years. The news
of these discoveries had been brought to
the City of Mexico by parties from
Sonora.
We have in our possession a piece of
tobacco which w e know to be 4G years
old. It was found last fall in tearing off
the shingles from the house on the Eto
wah river, Cherokee county, Gn., where
we spent our childhood, youth, and a
large portion of our manhood. The to
bacco (2 plugs) was placed between the
sheeting and shingles in 1841, when the
house was covered, and remained there
perfectly dry and sound for 4G years! If
anybody has any of the “weed” that is
more ancient, we would like to see it, and
try it in our pipe! All! what changes
have we seen since we hauled with our
yearlings, the shingles which covered
t hat tsbaeco, nearly a half a century ago.

Happy Workmen.
The operatives of the Griffin Mills who
drew a tenth part of the $50,000 prize
in the last drawing of The Louisiana
State Lottery ftn yesterday received a
check for the same. The fortunate indi
viduals are Win. C. Hammock, ('. L.
Hammock, George Hearn, F. M. Ballou
and Parks Bowden, each of whom re
ceived SI,OOO. Each put in one dollar
and purchased five tickets, one of them
being the lucky number 23,899, and con
sequently they are happy. They are all
hard working, deserving men, and we
congrrtulate them on their good fortune.
This is the largest prize that has ever
been drawn in the city, although numer
ous smaller amounts have been received.
This may tend to convince the sceptical
that the Louisiana State Lottery always
acts in good faith and actually bestows
the prizes where drawn. All of the above
parties are married men except C. L.
Hammock, and we understand that he is
now contenqdating taking a chance in
the matrimonial lottery. Mr. W.
Hammock when asked how he really felt
when he found that he had actually
drawn and received the money promptly
said “I felt pretty fair, as you may imag
ine.” Warming up, he continued, “I
felt like I did when I was paid off in leav
ing the Confederate service, and received
my pay, unlike most, in good money.
Yes, I am a Confederate veteran and
fought under General Beauregard, and
now I have again earned my reward un
der him. Gen. Beauregard is a true man
and a brave soldier, and I am glad that
the money comes through him.” —Griffin

A rumor by way of Atlanta is to the
effect that Col. Thomas C. Howard, of
that city, has l>eeu tendered the position
of Governor of Alaska. A long time
ago Col. Howard taught school in King
ston, Ga. Among his pupils was Adelina
Patti. She was then a barefooted,
brown-faced girl of 9 or 10 years of age.
She could climb a tree with almost the
agility of a squirrel, and no mocking
bird could espial her tuneful notes. Col.
Mark A. Hardin, Clerk of the House of
Representatives of the General Assembly
of Georgia, lived in Kingston at the
time, and was devotedly attached to
Patti. He would doubtless have married
her in the course of time if Col. Howard
had not interfered. He was opposed to
his pupils receiving attention from young
men. It would not be surprising if Col.
Hardin should request the President not
to make Col. Howard Governor ofAlus
ka.—Savannah News.

The following suggestion from tie*
Dahlonega Signal is timely and every
county should act in the matter: “Horse
thieves are working Cartersville and vi
cinity. The people are on the lookout.
A good way to cause this business to
cease is for the farmers of every county
to come together and organize an asso
ciation of some kind for the arrest and
conviction of the thieves. I>‘t them
have a president, secretary ami treas
urer, and let every farmer pay so much
into a fund to Is* kept in the treasurer’s
hands for this purpose, and when a
horse is stolen then the association has
money on hand,to pursue, capture ami
convict the thief or thieves. It will be a
protection to the rich ami poor farmers
alike, and would subdue much of this
horse stealing.”
Here’s downright pluck for you. There
is not a community in the world that is
not infested by just such chaps as the
following speaks of: “A young school
mistress at Trenton, Ga., did an act of
bravery that will be a warning to the
mashers in her vicint.v at least. Miss
Childers is very pretty and bright and
quite a belle. A young man from a neigh
boring village made desperate efforts to
win her favor, but she dislikes him very
much. A few days ago he began to cir
culate damaging reports about the
young lady, which resulted in a nice bit
of scandal in the little town. The stories
finally came to the young lady’s ears.
Thoroughly enraged she borrowed a slud
ge, mounted a horse and went in quest
of her traducer, whom she found in his
store surrounded by a large circle of his
friends. Cocking both barrels of her
shotgun, which was loaded with buck
shot, she pointed it at his head and said:
‘You villain! Acknowledge before these
gentlemen that you have lied about and
slandered me and that there is no truth
in anything you have said, or I will this
instant Mow out your brains.’ The
young man, amid the mockery of his
companions, promptly acknowledged
all that was demanded of him, admitting
that he had knowingly slandered the
lady, who immediately left, escorted by
an admiring crowd.”
Once upon a time and not long time
ago either a man suffering with piles
thought there would never lie an end to
his agony. But Tabler’s Buckeye Pile
Ointment dhqielled that idea completely.
To-day he is a healthier and wiser man,
recommending to all sufferers with piles,
the use of this incomparable remedy.

Our advice to you is not to catch cold
if you can help it, but having caught it
rid yourself of it promptly by using the

ation equaled by none for purity and
efficacy. When used according to <ll mo
tions a positive cure is effected for cougs,
colds, and diseases of throat and lungs.
