COURANT- AMERICAN. X'\i'blls>-e5. Every Xlvu.rs-S.ai.y. CARTERBVILLK, GEORGIA. Official Oraan of Bartuf County. *°m i Editor ‘ ,nd pf °P r:#,ors 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 weakness. It is sold by druggistn. 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. We Caution all Against Them. The unprecedented success and merit of Ely’s (’ream Balm —a real care for catarrh, hay fever and cold in head —has induced many adventurers to place ca tarrh medicines bearing some resemb lance in appearance, style or name upon the market, in order to trade upon the reputation of Ely's Cream Balm.

Price 50c. A story is current that after a storm the waters of a lake in Georgetown coun ty, S. ('., turned inky black and every living thing that could crawl on land left it. Fish dead and dying floated to the surface, until enough of them had risen to cover a hundred acres of land a foot deep. .Thousands of buzzards are congregated ou the shore and, when alarmed, “arise and make a noise sim ilar to an earthquake.” We want it un derstood that we do not vouch for this statement.

B. 11. Bucdnax, Brodnox, La., says: “I gave Scott's Emulsion to Mrs. C., troubled with a very severe Bronchial affection. Added to this the birth of a child and subsequent illness, she was in a very bad condition. I ordered Scott’s Emulsion, which she commenced taking, giving at the same time some to the baby, which was very poor (weight three and one-half pounds).

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. OYER THE COUNTY, OUR CORRESPONDENTS NOTE THE INCIDENTS OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS, Ami Dish Tlirin lip in a Delectable Shape For Our Readers, 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 wife, daughter, and Misses Nellie and Rose Howard, of Salisbury, N. C., took •a trip to Chattanooga, thence to Look out mountain up the incline plane three fourths of a mile to point Lookout, then we changed cars for Sunset Rock. The view is grand beyond my power of de scription. We were all delighted with the trip. Jackie. * GRASSDALE.

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 tle somewhere in Georgia. We always feel glad to welcome to our old state such men, for they can but make good citizens. Crofton. CASSVILLE. Cassvilleis luxuriating in the services of a photograph artist, and from the crowds around his quarters one would suppose that he is doing a splendid busi ness. We have examined some of his scenes that were splendid, also a cabinet size picture of Judge J. P. Hawks. His physiognomy was perfect, with his Sunday smile and a kiss-ine quick-aud-let-me-go look pluying over his lips. 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 the past week. If placed in Bridges'ice house for a few days, he might safely lie unveiled as a statute of “goneupedness.” Our pumpkin man has a fine plant of morning glories, and he is offering them at remarkable low figures, slips by the hundred. All who wish a shade and im munity from the scorching rays of the sun, should apply at once. Office on the grounds. Messrs.

Work, work, work. Surely a farmer never was troubled with the gout if exer cise is a sure safe guard against that trouble. Our farmers are very busy in the har vest fields, while “general green" is flank ing them on every side. Be of good cheer farmers if you can only keep the “general” at bay until Jack Frost comes you are safe, for he never fails to con quer. 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 stands on their brow, “I am going to have help before another year.” Be careful girls that you don't get cheated. Farmers certainly have a very hard time but their calling is certainly a very honorable and indejiendent one for The hands of toil, Though tanned and soiled. The bread of the world supplies. Miss Rebecca Faris has returned home from Fairmount, where she lias been at tending the school of Professor Dyar. Glad to see her bright face in our midst again. 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. COMMUNO V49tf*\ The importance of purifying the blood can not he overestimated, for without pine blood you cannot enjoy good health.
