jifohe l nited States a poison that

fective than any ten other influ-

.conscience in political action. it
has been most potent in changing
party from a matter of principle)
to a tiling of pltt.ee and pelf. In

iniieh of the partial paralysis (that
has befallen itihe statesmanship

whole country, and has been the
slimy source of much of the cor
ruption rampant in the great cen

of the country. Neither of the
great parties have escaped its
malign influence, and in making

continuance of a republican form

I consider Wine of Cardui superior
to any doctor's medicine I erer used
and X know whereof I speak. I suf
fered for nine months with suppressed
menstruation which completely pros
trated me. Pains would shoot through
my back and sides and I would have
blinding headaches. My limbs wouid
swell up and I would feel so weak 1
could not stand up. I naturally feJA
discouraged for I seemed to bo beyood
the help of physicians, but Wine of
Cardui came as a God-send to me. I
felt a change for the belter within a
week. After nineteen days treatment
I menstruated without Buttering the
agonies I usually did and aeon became
rogular and without pain. Wine of
Cardui is simply wonderful!«oad I wish
that all suffering women kuew ot Its
good qualities.

Periodical headaches tell of fe
male weakness. Wine of Cardui
cures permanently nineteen out at
every twenty cases of irregular
menses, bearing do«m pains or
any female weakness. It you are
discouraged ao4 doctors have
failed, that is the best reason in
the world you should try Wine of
Cardui now. Remember that
headaches mean female weakness.

Savannah, Ga., July (*>.—
George «I. Baldwin, who was one
of the purchasers of a part of tho
Gttinesviillc, Jefferson and South
ern railway at Gainesville yester
day, says the property is to bo
greatly improved.
lie says wc have in -view some
very important changes in the
road which will likely bo put into
effect as soooj as possible. One
plan is to build the road out north
ward toward Dahlonega, Another
suggested route is from the Jef
ferson branch to Athens to tho
south, while a third is from the
main line to the Central of Geor
gia railway on the Macon and
Coyington branch.
Much will depend on thc co-op
eration of the people along the.
route of the property of the pro
posed extension. If these towns
shall promise good patronage
there is capital in Savannah with
which outside capital ns may be
affiliated in the plan, to build a
splendid railway into new terris
lory. 'The work is to he begun at
once and the road is to be made
standard.
Different Kinds of Kisses.
Fortunately for stupid people,
the weather changes often enough
to supply them with something to
talk about.
1 u stead a kiss says a French
writer., is natural; totbuy a kiss is
stupidity; for two girls to kiss is
a loss of time;; not to kiss at all is
an insignificance; for two men to
kiss is quite ridiculous; to kiss the
baud or theof the tingors is
dioll; to kiss oue’s sister is proper;
to kiss one s wife is an obligation;
kissing a child is often a regret
for not being permitted to kiss
the mother; to kiss an ugly ^por-
son is gallantry; to kiss an .old
faded widow shows great devot--
edness, but to ikiss a young, blush
ing widow is a charm; to kiss one’s
waiting maid is very dangerous;
to kiss one’s affianced is a premed
itation ynd a right; an old, rich
aunt it is hypocrisy; a young cook
in tho bloom of age is delicious,
dainty; to kiss a neighbor’s wife
is doubtless very good, but quite
wrong; kissing three girls tho
same day ie an extravagance; u
gill whose father is watching hat^
if may make one jump over the
fence; to kiss a mother-inslaw is a
sacrifice; an old maid, it is polite
ness, timilly, a kus to one’s moth
er is the purest, tho sweetest of
all kisses.
