AGE OF STEAM.
As old “sol” reclises behind the
western horizon, and bids the lunar
queen to reign supreme through the
misty pale light of twinkling stars, while
he sleeps oue can hear the signal of the
many whistles belching forth the steam
left iu the boiler after the days work is
finished. Jacksou is proud of her work
ing men as well as her business men.
For those who guide the power of the
mighty engines and cause them to trans
form nature’s simplest production into
something useful in the march of prog*
ress is as essential as any class of our
citizens. Jackson, in common, with the
towns of Georgia is iu the age of steam.
“March to search” is the old adage.
It searches out the weakness of the
system, resulting from impure blood.
Those who use AyeEe Sarsaparilla
find March no more searching or even
disagreeable than any other month.
This medicine is a wonderful imig
orator.
