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. Mrs. NANCY J.

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. —P. 11. Brewster, in Cross Plains, Ala., Post. 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 (Ga.) News, April 21. 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. “It Knocks the Scots,” and everything in the nature of erup tions, blotches, pimples, ulcers, scrofu lous humors, and incipient consumption, which is nothing more nor less than scrofula of the lungs, completely out of the system.

The re-union of t ie 52nd Georg a will be held at Dahlonega on the 4th of .July. The Georgia press with a unanimity that is refreshing, seconds the nomina tion of Henry Grady for the vice-presi dency. Mr. Henry Clews, of New York, is here by notified that Georgia bonds are n*- ceived at this office at par for all sub scriptions, accounts, etc. Guess he’ll dry up now.

A Hartwell gentleman says he has it from most trustworthy authority that au organized movement is on foot se cretly among the colored jieople of Hart county to emigrate eu masse to Ark ansae this summer, and that it is their iuteu tion to leave their employers “in tin* suds.” as it were, without warning. Wilson Palmer, a burglar, thought to be one of the gang that have leen op erating throughout Georgia for the past few months, was convicted at Thomus ville and sent to the camp at the Chat tahoochee brick yard near Atlanta. He is a “slick bird” ami it is feared that he will soon escajie. Dade county is the place for such. Victoria, the land that is unhappy on account of the ravages of rabbits, must have few boys and dogs.

We are glad to see our Georgia ex changes calling for a reform in certain matters of country journalism. It is hoped that the Georgia press will next week set down on these fellows that want all the tops of columns at a mere song and to be paid for in chips and whet stones “to boot.” The convention prom ises to tie lively at Valdosta licxt win k. The action of the Confederate survivors iit Augusta, on memorial day, in passing a resolution protesting against the Irish coercion bill pending in the British par liament, was an innovation that dese crated the sacred day. It set a prece dent that merits the censure of every southern man.

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. “Go thou and do likewise.” 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 remedy known all over the world as Coussens’ Honey of Tar, a simple prepar ation equaled by none for purity and efficacy.
