TUe Cure.
The Atlanta Constitution had an
article headed “A cure for lynch
ing.” The “euro” is in the cons
duct of the negro. We guarantee
that the negro who never crimi
nally assaults a while woman, lull
attends strichly to his honest work
as a law-abiding citizen, will ne'
er lie lynched. On the contrary,
we guarantee that the negro who
places his lustful hands upon a
white woman, north or south, will
be lynched if caught, and he is
generally caught. AH the speech
es that negroes can make against
1'yi.chiug is in vain, unless they
stop the crime that causes it.
There is the cure and only cure,
philosophize as much as yon
piease.—Marietta Journn 1.
No Sleep For A Mortgage.
The mortgage is self-supporting
institution. It always holds its
own. It calls for just r.s many
dollars when grain is cheap as
when grain is dear. It is not ef
fected by the drought. It is not
drowned out by heavy rains. If.
never winter kills. Late springs
and early frosts never trouble it.
Potato hugs do not disturb it.
Moth and rust do not destroy it.
It grows nights, Sundays and
even holidays. It brings a sure
crop every year, and sometimes!
twice a year. It produces cash
every time. It does not have to
wait for the market to advance.
It is not subject to speculations
of tho hulls and boars on tho
Board of Trade, it is a load that
galls and frets and chafes.—
Ex.
Young Men And Women,
Attention.
“Went over to sec your land.”
“Cussed poor road nil the way.
“Cussed poor road back agin.
“Most of your land is under
water.
What ain’t under water is af-
fiictcd with drought.
“You’ve either got to wet it all
up or dry it all up.
“Can’t burn up or run away.
“Keep your taxes up and pray
to tlu 1 Lord.
“Glad you sent me 82 instead of
the deed.
“If you want any further par-
ticlulars 1 11 ship you a barrel of
water.”
An old bachelor bought a pair
of sox and found attached to one
of them a slip of paper with these
words: I am a young lady of
twenty and would like to corres
pond with n bachelor with a view
to matrimony. Name and address
were given. The bachelor wrote,
and in a few days lie got this let
ter : “Mamma was married
twenty years ago, the merchant
you bought those sox from evi
dently did not advertise or he
would have sold them long ago.
Mamma handed me your letter
and said perhaps I might suit you.
I’m eighteen years old.’" They
married. Moral—It pays to ad
vertise.—Ex,
An anxious enquirer wants to
kuosv why a newspaper is like a
woman. The various answers giv
en arc: “Because it lias to have
some one to run it.” “Because
both have to be known to bo ap
preciated.” “Because both are
good advertising mediums. “Be
cause both have to bo pressed.”
“Because it sometimes changos its
dress and tells tales.” Tho correct
answer is: “Because every man
should have ono of his own and
not tie running around after his
neighbor's.”
Carrie Nation Says.
Street ears are not fit for decent
people to ride in.
Woman, through vafgar dress,
exposes her form for attraction—
a sign i. degenerate age.
If I ever marry again you may
know I’m insane.
Love is the only motive which
should inspire marriago.
Most men are so corrupt that
divorces arc permissible.
1 oppose the bringing of more
children into this wicked world.
Women, have your homes plain
and simple ami give your time
and money to reform work.
Don’t waste your few remaining
years grieving over spilt, milk.
You can’t get it hack, and even if
you did, you would find it clab
bered. Learn by your past expe
riences to avid the rocks in the
channel, and you will possibly he
able to sail very smoothly and
safelv along the lower mul of the
‘ ..
river of life.
This negro question is consum-1
ing lots of valuable space in tho
press of tlie Smith today, and un
necessarily so, too. To sum it all
up, there is a place fr.r tho negro
and a place for the white man,
and so long as the negro remains
in his place his white friends will
treat him right.—Ex.

The happy man is the honest,

this lot, in life. There arc millions

A Riarchont Cured Attar Having Given Up Hope.
Foley & Co., Chicago.
Gentlemen:—F was afflicted with Kidney and
Bladder trouble for six years and had tried numerous
preparations without getting any relief and had given
up hope of ever being cured when FOLEY’S KIDNEY

bottle I could [eel the effect of it, and after taking

Biadder trouble and have not telt so well for the past
twenty years and I owe it to FOLEY’S KIDNEY
CURE. James Smith, Bentons Ferry, W. Va.

of Suffering.
R. A. Cray, J.P., of Oakville, Ind., writes:—
“Most of the time for ten years I was confined to my
bed with some disease of the kidneys. It was so
severe I could not move part of the time. I consulted
the best medical skill available, but got no relief until
FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE was recommended to ma.
I am grateful to be able to say that it entirely cured me.”

Dr. Miles’ Heart
Cured Me.
Cure
Two Sizes, 5© dents and $1.00
One person in every four has a weak heart.
Unless promptly treated a weak heart will
easily become a diseased heart. A little extra
strain from any cause is sufficient to bring on
this deadly malady, the most common cause
of sudden death. Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure will
tone up the heart’s action, enrich the blood
and improve the circulation.
“My trouble began with catarrh and I have
always supposed it caused the trouble I have
experienced with my heart. I had the usual
symptoms of sleeplessness, lost appetite, con
stipation, palpitation of the heart, shortness
of breath and pain, abound the heart and un
der left arm. My mother suffered, in the snine
way and I suppose mine was an inherited
tendency. At one time I was in agony. I
suffered 50 severely and became so weak
that my doctors said 1 could not live thirty
days. At this time I had not slept over two
hours a night on account of nervousness.
The least exercise, such as walking about,
would bring on palpitation and fluttering of
the heart so severe that I would have to give
up everything and rest. Nerve and Liver
Tills cured me of constipation and heart
symptoms disappeared under the influence
of Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure. I am in
better health than 1 have been in twelve
years and 1 thank I)r. Miles’ Remedies for it,
1 think they are the grandest remedies on
earth and I am constantly recommending
them lo my friends."—Mrs. L. J. Cantrell,
