Kijibell. 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. LOOK OUT! THEY ARE COMING!! ffffff Mr. D. J.
