THURSDAY, JUNE 1(5, 1887.
Every man in FomHrtville, n suburb
of Roma, signed the petition to order an
Hu t ion for prohibition but four.
Till-; Fourth of July is to be observed
this year throughout the country with a
glorious old-time independence shout.
(Ikn. Sheridan pronounces the nation
al drill n glorious sucres#. He will recom
mend that congress provide for the drill
annually at the public expense.
Thk Salvation Army will soon establish
south* iii headquarters in Atlanta, where
n* w oificers are to lie trained for field
work.
The steady and decided improvement
in the Atlanta Journal, under the new
management, is very gratifying. It is a
model afternoon paper now and never
lags behind in securing the news.
You can drink your coffee a “Icetle”
stronger now, but probably a week or
so from now you may be able to afford
two cups at your morning meal. So
mote it be.
The Wild Cat Club is the name of a
bad gang that infest the streets of At
lanta after night and make things howl.
They are a hard gang and “Old Nig’’
should be put in the field after them.
The people of Georgia and this section
. generally will have an opportunity of
attending two first-class fairs the com
ing fall. The Piedmont exposition at
Atlanta and State Fair at Macon, will
be very fine.
Mb. W. A. Johnson, who has been on
trial in Macon last week for being engaged
in the Moore lynching casein that city
last August, is out on a thousand dollar
bond. The jury made a mistrial. All
the others are in jail on the same charge,
have also been let out on bond. This
virtually closes the business.
Gheeey, in Colorado, is a town of
three thousand } ski pie, and not one
liquor shop. It uses and needs no police,
ami in two years and a half $7 only was
called out of its poor fund. Bavaria,
111 , a town of the same population, with
absolute prohibition, was without a
drunkard, without a pauper, and with
out a crime.
Gen. Sherman in a letter to prominent
members of the Grand Army, states his
views as to points of meeting. Instead
of the Grand Army of the Republic
meeting only in legal States of 18(11, I
am in favor of them meeting hereafter at
Nashville, Chattanooga, Atlanta and
Richmond, following the example of our
armies in war for the Cnion.
A group of Anarchists, numbering
ninety men and women, has been dis
covered at Columbus, 0. A blasphemous
secret circular issued by the group advo
cates arson and murder, and even the
killing of the wives and children of the
capitalists. The Knights of Labor of
Columbus unsparingly denounce the An
archists. Nothing but hemp will ever
teach the lesson the Anarchists ought
to learn.
Mr. Julius L. Brown returned
home, In Atlanta, Saturday evening
after an absence of six months. He left
here early in December, suffering from a
affection which threatened his lungs.
He went to Cuba, where he Remained
until March 1. Thence he went to the
City of Mexico, remaining there until
Jline 1. He returns greatly improved in
health and strength, with an increased
avoirdupois, and u complexion browned
by healthful exposure.
It was hoped that when Sid Phelan’s
bucket shop was swamped in Atlanta,
it would lx* the lust of such institutions
so far as Atlanta was concerned, but a
crowd of Chicago gamblers have entered
the green fields for spoils. These iuiqni
toils unmasked dens should not be tol
erated. Not only does it do injury to
the jieople of Atlanta, but there are hun
dreds of poor merchants in the country
towns that are kept poor by the ques
tionable operations.
The Supreme court on lust Monday
rendered the decision in the famous
Dickson will case. The decision affirms
the rulings of the court below, sustaning
the will. It will be remembered that this
contest was instituted by the
relatives of vhe great Georgia planter,
David Dickson, over his will, in which he
bequeathed his entire estate, amounting
t o f4-00,000, to a negro woman, named
Amanda Dickson, his ligitimate daugh
ter. Thus she is made, perhaps, the
richest negro woman in the world.
Judge .Nkwxax has at last made the
appointment of the district court clerk"
Mr. 11. C Hamilton, the present clerk of
Whitfield county, is the lucky man. A
more comjtetent. or deserving appoint
ment could not have been made. Mr.
Hamilton is a one-armed ex-confederate
soldier, and an intelligent high toned
gentleman. He has held the position of
Superior clerk for a number of years,
which is an evidence of the esteem in
which he is held by the citizens of his
county. This appointment is practically
for life and w ill bring him a salary of
about four thousand per annum.
The assurance is given that the
Marietta and North Georgia railroad
will shortly be extended southward to
Atlanta, and a charter for its exten
sion northward to KnpxviUe, Term, has
been applied for. These extensions wii!
make it quite an important Southern
road, and the richness of the country
through which it will run in minerals,
live stock and agricultral production
will secure for it a heavy transportation
business. This enterprise had an unpre
tentious beginning, and for many years
it made very slow progress under diffi
culties; no one imagined that that it was
ever to attain the reach and compass
that seem now to be assured. Hut the
resources of the fine ami diversified
country through which it is to run fully
justify it.
Veivetiu the only harmless preparation
for the complexion. Try it.
More Local Legislation.
In another place, in this issue, Dr.
Felton gives notice that he will ask the
Legislature, at its July session, to pass a
number of bills of local importance.
Soiup of these proposed bills, if passed,
will be of much value to the county, as
measures of economy. We do not al
together agree with the doctor as to the
wisdom of cutting down the pay of
jurors to one dollar and twenty-five
cents jer day. In fixing the pay of
jiirors.thejuryman's time must not only
lie considered, but the exjiense of his com
ing into court, daily, and if he lives too
far to return home each night, during
his service, the cost of boarding in town
must be noted then, the neglect of his
business, whatever that mav lie. is a
matter worth some consideration.
And, too, the money paid to jurors goes
directly back to the'sources from whence
it came.
Notice is also given, by other parties,
of an intention to apply to the legisla
ture for the passage of a bill further
amending the act creating the City court
of Bartow county, by striking from the
15th section thereof, the words to wit:
“Provided the parties to said cases
agree that the same be transmitted from
the Su fieri or to the City court of said
county.” With this amendment, the
Judge of the Superior court will lie em
powered to transfer all eases now pen
ding on the dockets of said court, and
which are within the jurisdiction of said
City court, to the dockets of the same.
As the bill now stands, the consent of
the parties must first be obtained before
a transfer can be made. As defendants
in most civil rases never want a trial,
they rarely give their consent to move
the ease to a court where a speedy
hearing can tie had, hence there have
lieen few or no transferred cases. If this
amendment is made, these cases will all
lie transferred to the City court. It is
estimated that this will relieve the Supe
rior court of at least one-half of the busi
ness now pending. Otherwise these
eases must all abide their time, and as
they are now within the door of one of
the mills of the gods that grinds ex
ceedingly slow , it will take a prophet to
tell when that time will come.
In view' of the fact that such a trans
fer of cases would not only hasten their
trial,but work a] very great saving to the
county, we trust that both of our
representatives will do all in their power
to have the proposed amendment passed.
General I). H. Hill, speaking upon
the Old South, pleases his audiences with
bright bits like this:
“I will tell you young people of the
south which has passed away, that you
may admire ami imitate whatever was
grand and noble in its history and reject
whatever was wrong and defective. The
scandals that have brought shame upon
the American name occurred when the
old south was out of power. No official
from the old south was ever charged
with roguery; no great statesman of
that period ever corruptly made money
out of office.

“I love to hear the philanthropists
praise Mr. Lincoln and call him the sec
ond Washington, for I remember that he
was born in Kentucky, and was from
first to last, as the Atlantic Monthly
truly said, ‘a southern man in all his
characteristics.’ Ilove to hear them say
that George H. Thomas was the stoutest
fighter in the Union army, for I remem
ber that he was born in Virginia.
******
“I love to hear the praises of the won
derful deeds of McClellan, Grant, Meade
and Hancock, for if they were such great
warriors for crushing with their massive
columns the thin lines of the ragged
rebels, w hat must be said of Lee, the two
Johnstons, Beauregard and Jackson,
who held millions at bay for four years
with their fragments of shadowy armies?
“Bile up huge pedestals and surmount
them with bronze horses and riders in
bronze. All the Union monuments are
eloquent of the prowess of the ragged
rebels and their leaders.”
Thh Rome Courier lias come out
squarely against prohibition, and in its
Sunday edition published three columns
of matter to prove that the bible coun
tenances drunkenness and debaucheuy.
The Courier evidently has little respect
for a great many noble and Christ-loving
|>eople of Rome when it launches out
this filthy load on a bright Sunday
morning. It is awful to contemplate.
If there was no bible the veriest fool
would know that whisky drinking was
the source of much evil and a curse to
to all. The Courier or no one else be
lieve the demon to be a blessing and if it
is not a blessing it is certainly a curse.
Rome is a town of good prospects and
has many noble institutions, but whisky
did not put one dollar into the inaugu
ration of them. It did not build a single
one of the magnificent churches that the
people are prone to boast of. It does
not keep many from eoarvatiou, but it
certainly keeps many in that fix. The
Courier had just as well quit trying to
convince the good people of Rome that
the town’s future greatness is built on
the foundation of whisky. They know
better, and the paper had just as well
make up its mind to the inevitable—to
live in a sober community, after next
New Years—a blessing that to be lully ap
preciated must be enjoyed.
William E. Chandler was, on last
Tuesday, elected to the United States
Senate from New Hampshire. He tilled
the position of secretary of the navy in
President Arthur's cabinet, but is j>er
haps best known as a most artful and
unscrupulous party leader, regarding
party spoils and plunder as the supreme
aiiu of political effort, yet he possesses
ability that will make him a man of
power in the senate. He is well informed
on all public questions, and is eminently
practical in many of his efforts. If he
conld elevate his low standard of states
manship he could readily rise to a prom
inent place in the senate, but he is at war
with all ideas of reform and will likely
not change his tactics, but will play his
old time role to the end.
It is said that 25<i,000 people visited
Buffalo Rill’s camp in one week in Lon
don.
In attempting to correct the proof of
several articles in last weeks issue, our
‘‘devil” got in his work to good advan
tage, especially in the editorial on “Local
Legislation.” So numerous did he leave
errors in this, that we will not undertake
a correction; only desiring to apologize to J
our readers for the carelesness of the
“devil.”
As to the Bucket Shop.
Three or four bucket shops have failed
in Atlanta within the last five or six
years.
Each flourished in its turn and each in
turn went the way of all the earth.
When Mr. Sid Phelan's fortune was
swept away lie said: “I hav* quit the
business forever. No more exchange
for me.”
He had seen enough to lie convinced
that speculation in futures was too
hazardous for even a man of his great
skill and judgment.
A bank tried to rent the building lie
had formerly occupied, but a Chicago
firm managed to get in ahead and it is
now understood that anew bucket shop
will be opened very soon. Instead of a
legitimate business, such ns would add
to the prosperity of the city, we are to
have an establishment that is outlawed
by the courts, and whose patrons dare
not let their names lie knpwn to the
public; a concern that can sweep away
the most splendid fortune in Atlanta in
the twinkling of an eye.
It is the power of doing great destruct
ion that makes the bucketshop so dan
gerous. The faro bank and the pool
room sink into insignificance lieside the
gigantic machine for gambling in futures.
To stop the pool room and to allow the
bucketshop to run is like stopping the
spigot and knocking out the bottom of
the band.
It is said “some of the best men in the
country patronize exchanges.”
All such talk of what the “best men” do
is bosh. It is useless to strain out a
gnat and swallow a camel. Legitimate
business is legitimate, and gambling is
gambling, and that is all there is about
it, and there is just us much in brace
games and stocked decks in one sort of
gambling as there is in another.—Atlan
ta Journal.
The Charleston News and Courier drops
these words of wisdom, which may be
read with advantage in Georgia: “It is
also more than probable that any road
will make more by consulting the con
venience and cultivating the good-will
of the people along its own line than by
running after the business of lines with
w hich it happens to connect, and making
its system subordinate to the whims and
fancies of an outside concern. This
truth, it seems to us, is one which most
railways need to learn, and to study
likewise, just now. The abstractions of
the transportation problem have so ab
sorbed the contemplation of many men
in railway otHces that they overlook con
crete and common-sense facts which their
brakemen are familiar with. Compasses
and tape measures can neither build a
road nor support it. The owners of these
highways live and move too far away
from their possessions. Their officers
and agents control the roads, father
than manage them. It would be far bet
ter, for all concerned, if every railroad
in the country were owned and operated
by men who live in sight of the tracks,
and whose interest strikes deeper root
than in the surface of a printed bond or
certificate of stock.”
In Don Piatt’s recent work, entitled
“Memories of the men who saved the
union,” he says of the confederates and
their great leader: “For two years
they kept an army in the field that girt
their borders with a fire that shivered
our forces as they marched in like tissue
paper in a flame. How these men fought
the world will never know, for it cannot
be told. * * The north poured in its
noble soldiery and they fought well, but
their broken columns and thinned lines
drifted back upon our capital with noth
ing but disaster to tell of the dead and
dying, the lost colors, and captured ar
tillery. * * But this violence spent its
fury on the solid, heroic force and endur
ance of the north. * * The confeder
acy reached the zenith of its fortunes at
the battle of Gettysburg. It went down
as rapidly as it had risen, but it went
down fighting.” Of Gen. Lee he writes:
“It is strange what magic lingers about
the moldering remains of Virginia’s
rebel leader. His very name confers re
nown upon his enemies. The pure white
hands are folded over a heart that was
so grand in its emotions that his life
seemed that of a saint, and his deeds
made so. sacred a bad cause that a re
volt rose to the dignity of a great war.”
Dr. Pierce’s “Favorite Prescription” is
everywhere acknowledged to be the stan
dard remedy for female complaints and

Gen. Overille, a federal soldier, intro
duced by Gov. Fitz Lee, a confederate
general, delivered the oration last week
at the decoration of the confederate sol
diers' grave, at Staunton, Ya. The two
distinguished gentlemen were frequently
in command of opposing forces during
the late war, What a glorious sight to
see these two former leaders of conflict
ing forces standing generously together
ou this hallowed occasion—the victor
paying tribute to the vanquished dead,
and passing eulogy to their valor ami
heroism.

Notice of Local Legislation.
Notice it hereby given that application will be
made to General Ametnbly at ite July eeaeion for
the following local letrinlation for Bartow county,
Ueorjdu: .
As Act to be entitled An Act to fix t*ie <-oin
penrtution of jurors in Bartow eoant v at one dol
lar and twenty-fire cents for each day's service.
Also, An Act to be entitled An Act to amend
an Act creating a Board of < ornmissioner* cf
Roads nnd Revenue** for Bartow county no an to
fix the compensation ,of each commissioner at
twenty-five dollars per annum and the compensa
tion of their clerk who may lie one of their num
ber at one hundred dollars jer annum.
Also, An Act to be entitled An Act to limit and
restrain the County Commissioners from levying
and collecting county taxes for special purposes
until the same have*been recommended by two
successive grand juries.
ALSO. An Act to be eutitled An Act to fix the
compensation of each bailiff waiting and ateud
.iik upon the Superior Court of Bartow county at
one dollar and twenty-five cents for each day’s
service and to limit the number of such bailiffs so
ts uot to exceed five during any one day.
Also, An Act to be entitled An Act to restrain
he court or the sheriff or any officer of Bartow
•ouuty from creating a bill of expenses against
the county for livery hire.
Also, An Act t-o be entitled An Act to forbid
md restrain the Solicitor General or any officer
of the court from hiring out to private parties
individuals convicte 1 of miidemeanors and who
have been sentenced by the eourt to the county
chain gang.
Also, An Act to be eutitled An Act to incorpor
ate County Line Church situate in the 1041st dis
trict of Bartow county and to prohibit the sale
of alcoholic, malt and vinous liquors within four
miles of said church.
Also, An Act to be entitled An Act creating
and establishing a City Court for Bartow county.
[Note. —This last Act for the present will not
be introduced unless an effort is made to iucrease
the expense of said court.
The above legislation is auke<l for by a
large number of the taxpayers of Bartow
county, sufficient to show that a majori
ty of the people desire it. Omitting the
last proposed Act which will not for the
present be introduced, the other Acts, if
obtained, will save to the tax-payers of
this county about five thousand dollars
annually and no public business will suf
fer by the reduction. There is other local
legislation asked for by many of our cit
izens which would reduce our county tax
ation another additional five thousand
dollars and likewise no public business
would suffer thereby. But as some of
our citizens, in whose judgment I have'
great confidenee, think it best to post
pone such legislation for the present. 1
submit to their opinions. Our county is
enormously and unnecessarily taxed.
But few counties in the state are so ex
travagantly taxed as we are. It has
been the case ever since the war. What
for? Now and then we put up some val
uable public improvement—such as a
court house, jail, or a fine bridge; all
that is right and should be done when
needed, but the fact remains that three
fourths of our tax money, by hook or by
crook, by fair means or by foul means, is
absorbed directly or indirectly by the
courts of the county; and that in one of
the most orderly and intelligent counties
in the statu —a county distinguished
everywhere for its upright and virtuous
citizenship. There is something wrong.
The tax] layers can stop it. Let it be
•topped at once. W. H. Felton.

PINE LOO.
As we have had, I suppose we will still
have, some sort of weather.
Mr. Alex. Wilson, the clever drummer
for Messrs. Spencer & Brown, Greenville,
Term., was in our villags last week.
The Messrs. Vernon passed through
this place last week driving a fine lot of
cows and sheep. If they continue busi
ness in this way much longer, milch cows,
beef and mutton will get to be quite an
item here.
Prof. J. M. Boyd returned a few days
ago from a visit to his home, bringing
with him his younger brother, Mr. Robt.
Boyd, who will assist him in his summer
school, which opens the first Monday in
July.
If the boys and girls wish to have their
pictures taken, they can fall in line and
march down in front of the postoffice,
where Mr. J. B. Britton is permanently
fitted up with his photo gallery.
It is wonderful how a town will come
out il' you only talk of a railroad. We
are to have a parsonage here, which we
hope will help to maintain the already
good morals of our quiet little village.
And we also learn that there is to be a
new store house built here this summer,
and a great deal of repair work. Three
cheers for Pine Log. We yet hope to see
her rise to eminence and power in this
land.
KINGSTON.
The farmers are all busy harvesting.
The wheat crop is much better than for
the past two years. If. S. Crawford says
some of his is very good.
Cotton and corn are looking well, and
bid fair for an abundant yield.
Some improvements going on in town.
Mr. J. I). Rogers has built a neat fence in
front of his house and is having it paint
ed, also re-painting his house.
Mr. .J. F. Hargis has painted his house,
also Dr. Mayson is having his new cot
tage painted, and if our city fathers
would have the sidewalks put in good or
der, our little burg would look more in
viting.
Misses Rosa and Daisy Preston, of
Paris, Texas, and Miss Mamie Bowen, of
Greensboro, Ga., are visiting Dr. C. N.
Mayson’s family.
George Harris, Esq., and family, of
Rome, are visiting Mr. J. S. Harris.
Mrs. Smith, of Birmingham, Ala., is
visiting her sister. Mrs. It. S. Pope.
Miss Rosa Howard and brother, Master
Percy Howard,after a pleasant visit with
the family of J. M. Davidson, returned to
their home in Salisbury, N. C., on the
Bth. Mr. E. L. Parrott, of Calhoun, ac
companied them.
Mr. W. A. Gillam has gone to Atlanta
to be treated for throat and lung
trouble. He has been greatly afflicted
for several mouths. His numerous friends
here trust he may be restored to health.
Sunday was a pleasant day in Kings
ton—children's day for the Baptist Sun
day school. Mr. Northcutt, of Acworth,
delivered the address to the children.
Rev. W. H. Dyer preached a most excel
lent sermon. The exercises were all very*
interesting. The Methodist school were
invited, and all were present.
Last week your correspondent, with

Wells, Richardson A Cos., Burlington, Vt,
most making us believe that fall has
stolen on us unawares. But when we
look out and see the stage of the growing
crop, we are compelled to throw aside
this delusion, take up the plow and hoe
and march ont to meet aud conquer, if
possible, “Geueral Green.”
The wheat crop is about all harvested.
Although the shocks do not stand as
thick as we would like to see them, still
we are so thankful, and feel so grateful to
our Master for what He has given us, that
we cannot help rejoicing. It is a very
comforting thought to the farmer who,
for the past three years, has bought
most of his flour, that for one year, at
least, he will be independent, of the rise
and fall of one of the greatest necessaries
of life.
I am sorry to have to chronicle that
there has been and still is a great deal of
sickness around us. Dr. Battle has been
kept very busy, and has been very suc
cessful in his threatmeut, only having
lost two cases.
Mrs. Eloise Weems au*d her little daugh
ter spent last week with the family of
Mrs. Kesia Weems, and returned home
on Sunday.
Miss Emma Hawkins has returned from
Marietta, where she went to visit her
brother and friends. She was the only
lucky one of the family who witnessed
the liiarringe of her brother. This was
very much of a surprise to her, not har
ing the least intimation of it uutil a
short time before the ceremony was per
formed. Either town atmosphere or too
much gaiety did not agree with her, for
she came home sick, but a little rest aud
breathing the pure air of Grassdale will,
we hope, restore ber to health and the
bloom to her cheeks.
Mr. Billie Gaines has had a severe at
tack of flux, but is better.
Bro. Virgil Tumlin was with us at
Best’s chapel on Sunday, and I venture
to say listened to one of the best sermons
he lias heard for a long time. At three
o’clock Bro. Tumlin gave us one of his
best sermons. This is his first visit
among us, but I think he met with such
a warm reception that he will be among
us often in the future.
Our prayer meeting met at Rev. T. E.
Hawkins’, with a very good attendance.
Among our visitors were three ministers
—Bros. White, Tumlin and Gilreath. The
first two gave us good talks, and we
were sorry when the time for dismissal
came. A couple of us took a front seat,
feeling that we could afford to do this, as
there were so many ministers present
that we would not be called upon to pa
rade our ignorance in prayer, but much
to our chagrin our leadercalled out loud
ly to us. He must have known our
thoughts. Next time we will have to
take our accustomed back seats. Bros.
White and Tumlin spent the night at J.
(_’. Herring’s. Both left for their homes
on Monday.
Mr. Robert Gibbons, a nephew of Mr.
G. IL Gibbons, after a visit of several
weeks to his relatives here, has returned
to his home in the valley of Virginia.
Hope lie will see it to his interest and set

feel glad to welcome to our old state
such men, for they can but make good

CASSVILLE.
Cassvilleis luxuriating in the services
of a photograph artist, and from the

suppose that he is doing a splendid busi

The Cassville academy wilt close its
spring term with a public examination
on Thursday and Friday, the 23d and
241 h, inst., and an exhibition on Friday
night. The public are invited, especially
to the exhibition. Mr. Sam Jones, the
principal, is a fine trainer and educator,
and with the excellent material lie has,
will give a first class exhibition, which
will be both instructive and entertaining.
Andrew Jackson, in his lone widow
hood, has been wandering around our
streets disconsolate and woe-begone for

Our pumpkin man has a fine plant of
morning glories, and he is offering them
at remarkable low figures, slips by the

sun, should apply at once. Office on the

Messrs. Alexander, Dun woody and Hen

over the pumpkin farm. No damage
done; boys badly scared, that's all.

Work, work, work. Surely a farmer

Our farmers are very busy in the har
vest fields, while “general green" is flank
ing them on every side. Be of good

“general” at bay until Jack Frost comes
you are safe, for he never fails to con

Wheat and oats are low, yet better
than was exjiec ted they would be during
the dry weather.
Corn is looking fine in this section,
hope the farmers will all be able to have
their corn cribs at home next year.
Cotton is looking well.
Some of our bachelor farmers are get
ting badly in the grass, or rather bushes,
and they exclaim while the perspiratiou

careful girls that you don't get cheated.

Our Sabbath school has decreased in
number this spring, though the interest
of those that do attend seem unabated.
Will not everybody turn out and help in
the good cause? The harvest is gre.it
but the laborers are few, our school
meets at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Cannot some minister call and give us a
Sabbath school lecture occasionally,
such encouragement would be thank
fully received.

Ax Important Element
Of the success of Hoods Sarsaparilla is
the fact that every purchaser revives a
fair equivalent for his money. The fa
miliar headline “100 Doses One Dollar,"
stolen by imitators, is original with and
true only of Hood's Sarsaparilla. This
can easily be proven by any one who de
sires to test the matter. For real econ
omy. buy only flood's Sarsaparilla.
Sold by ail druggist.
Ax Augusta, Maine, liquor dealer
' thinks that he has hit upon a safe and
effective plan of evading the prohibitory
law of that state. His scheme is to im
port direct from Liverpool liquors he de
sires to sell and then to dispose of the
same iu unbroken packages, the United
States Government protecting all per
sons importing liquors from foreign
countries from prosecution under a state
prohibitory law. He may be protected
in the purchase of these liquors, but will
the government protect him in violating
a state law in selling them ?
Impurities of the blood often cause
great annoyance at this season; Hood's
Sarparilla purifies the blood, and cures
all such affections.
It is estimated that between $500,000,-
000 and $(*00,000,000 will be expended
in railroad construction in the United
States during the current year.

The importance of purifying the blood can
not he overestimated, for without pine blood
you cannot enjoy good health.
At this season nearly every one needs a
good medicine to purify, vitalize, and enrich
the blood, and wc ask you to try Hood's
P£rilliar Sarsaparilla. Itstrengtheus

creates an appetite, and tones the digestion,
while it eradicates disease. The peculiar
combination, proportion, and preparation

other medicine has such a record of wonderful
cures. If you have made up your mind to
buy Hood’s Sarsaparilla do not he induced to
take any other instead. It is a Peculiar

Hood’s Sarsaparilla is sold by all druggists.
