Hood’s
Sarsapariiia
Is a peculiar medicine, and is carefully pre¬
pared l>y competent pharmacists. The com¬
bination and proportion of Sarsaparilla, Dan
deticn, Mandrake, Yellow Dock, and other
remedial agents Is exclusively peculiar to
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, giving it strength and
curative power superior to other prepa¬
rations. A trial will convince you of its
threat medicinal value. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
Purifies the Blood
creates a: d sharpens the appetite, stimulates
the digestion, and gives strength to every
organ of the body. It cures the most severs
cases of Scrofula, Salt Rlieurr, Bolls, Pimples,
and ail ether affections caused by impure
blood, Dyspepsia. Biliousness, Headache,
Kidney and Liver Complaints, Catarrh, Rheu¬
matism, and that extreme tired feeling.
f ‘ Hood's Sarsaparilla has helped me more
for catarrh and impure blood than anything
else I ever used." A. Ball, Syracuse, ». Y.
Creates an Appetite
“Iused Hood’s Sarsaparilla to cleanse my
blood and tone up my system. It gave me a;
good appepte and seemed to bilild me over.'’
E. M. Hale, Lima, Ohio.
“ I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla for cancerous
tumor, and It began to act unlike anything
else. It cured tho humor, and seemed to
t"ne up thu vhclc body and glvo mo new
life." J. F. Nixow, Cambridgv'.port, Mass.

WHOSE FAULT
WAS IT.
An August morning on the shin¬
gly shores of Long Branch; the sea
shimmering and iparkling as if it
were transformed into oillows of liq¬
uid diamonds; the sands glittering in
the level light, and all the lvorld fan¬
ning itself. As Colonel Chixley
waked up, he L < a e an involuntary
puff, like a human porpoiso in a sea
of bed clothes. Then James, his fa¬
vorite waiter, knocked at the door
with coffee and shaving-water*
“James,” said he. “I think I
heard a child cry in tlie room next to
mine last night. They never put a
—a youuff family close to me James.
“Very sorry, Colonel,” apologized
James, but we’re all took up, and
there wa’n’t no other place to put
’em. Name, Mrs. Meredith, sir—
young ledy, sir, in black—two little
boys—only for a short time’sir.
“A widow, I suppos3?”
“Most likely sir, answered James.’
“I shall give up my nom! I don't
like widows, and I detest squaulliug
young ones. The matter is settled,
James, and you may bring mo the
morning paper.”
But matters are moro easily set¬
tled than our middle-aged philoso¬
pher wotted of. As lie came into
his room after breakfast, he found it
occupied. A young woman, in a
white morning-wrapper with black
ribbons, eat there, with a chubby
year-old Cupid in her lap—the lovli
est vision of violet eyes, scarlet lips
and peachy cheeks he had ever seen.
For one instant there rose up in our
tough old bachelor’s mind tho possi¬
bility of what might have been had
he married pretty Elinor Dare, when
they were both young people togeth
er. The lady rose, with sparkling
indignation.
Sir, I believe this is my room!”
I beg your pardon, stuttered Col.
Chixley, but I believe it is—with a
glance toward his dressing-case on
the bureau, mine ! No. 48, madam.
“Pray excuse lie, sir, I thought it
was 50 ! The furniture is exactly
alike, and—
“A very natural mistake, ma’am;
very natural, indeed. Mrs. Meredith
I presume-a charming little "boy, that
of yours.”
Mrs. Meredith smiled—her mother
heart fell into the snare. Before she
returned to her room, she and Colonel
Chixley were on excellent terms.
When she was gone, he looked after
her, admiringly.
And the colonel fell to wondering
vaguely what Aunt Lucretia would
say, if— When at last James entered
to tell the colonel that his bathing
house was unoccupied.
“Yes, yes; to be sure! ,, eaid Colonel
Chixley, starting from hi* reverie.
“Jaraci you needn’t change my room
after all. Those children seem quiet
and I dare say I shall get along very
well.” .
“Yes, sir,” said James.
The colonel was sitting on the ver¬
anda that afternoon, smoking his
post-prandial cigar, when little Pin¬
kie Meredith, the eldest child, ran
langhingly to him, and clasped him
round the knees. „
_ _
for his grand-pa! Pinkie, come
hera.”
The colonel winced a little.
“Let him stay, my good girl,”
said he.
“I—I don’t dislike children.”
A concession, that, for the colonel!
He took the whole party driving,
two days later. He spent the even¬
ing on the veranda with Mrs. Mere¬
dith and Pinkie, and even listened
complacently to tho whole of the
that Jack Built” from the
lips of infant prattler.
Mrs. Meredith played chess—so
did the colonel. She adored Tolstoi
—so did Colonel Chixley, She had
always longed to visit the South, and
the colonel waxed eloqhcht on the
subject of his winter villa Oh the St.
Jehus. .
I’m blest if I don’t believe the old
man’s iii love,’ Janie siid to the cham¬
bermaid, And ain’t that a rum go
at his age?’
I don’t care if she is a widow!’
said the colonel to himself. I don’t
care if I am twico her age! I don’t
care if there are two children. I
don’t care if people do say I am mak¬
ing a fool of myself!
Inspired by this conscious valor,
the colonel bought a diamond ring,
tee glitter whereof \va? like a minia¬
ture sun.
Oh, Colonel, remonstrated Mrs.
Meredith, I ought not to receive such
a valuable gift from you.
It belonged to my grandmother,
lied the colonel, and it really is of no
use to me. I should have given it to
my sister if she had lived, but—’
I will accept it, then—-in a purely
sisterly fashion, smiled Mrs. Meredith;
and the colonel lookek complacently
at its sparkle on the pretty taper fin¬
ger.
I suppose that amounts to an en¬
gagement, said lie to himself.
Mrs. Jflferedifch failed to make her
appearance at the tea-table that even¬
ing, and consequently Colonel Chix¬
ley had no appetite to speak of. He
hurried through his meat, and sought
the verandn. There she sat, as he
had expected; and yet not as lie had
expecaed; for, close to her, with one
arm thrown over the baqk of her ham
boo chair, was a swarthy giant, with
a beard a foot long, and a cigar
whose clouds he puffed deliberately
up’into her face.
The colonel came to a dead hault
m amazement, Mrs. Meredith
smilled beamingly up, with the most
innocent of expressions in her velvet
soft
Oh! here’s Pinkie’s dear friend,
Colonel Chixley, she exclaimed.
Colonel this is my husband.
Mrs. MereditK bowebinan off-hand
manner, without rising from his
chair or laying asido his cigar.
Glad to see you, sir, said he. Bes¬
sie, here, has been telling me how
kind yon have been to the little fel
lov/s. I don’t wonder. They are
pretty children.
Colonel Chixley stood like one
transfixed. Her husband! And af
ter all the drives and bouquets and
Neapolitan ices, and—most appalling
reflection, of all—after the diamond
ring! 4*-’ Her ^ husband! Ana t when
yet,
he came soberly to reflect over the
matter, he could not but admit to
himself that she never had absolutely
denied having a husband.
Recalled to the exigencies of the
moment, he stammered a few words
cf politeness, and retired to his room.

There is a parson in Nyack, N. Y.
who carries more than his faith with
him when he goes abroad. He is the
Rev. J. P. McCullough, a Baptist
elergyman. He puts his trust in
the Lord, but when dealing with
swindlers he thinks a tausty revolver
is about the best thing to rely on.,
Ha fpnnd his seven-shooter excelent
protection against a couple of rogues
who inveigled him into a place in
New York by means of an advertise¬
ment fox the purpose of robbing him.
“Hell’s kitchen” is the appropriate
name for the neighborhood. When
the parson found himself iathe hands
of the villians, he drew his revolver,
and exclaimed: “Stand back there
and open the gate, or I will blow the
top cf your’heads off.” The door
was opened and the minister escaped.

Letter from Democrat,
Onr president has showed us
that we must have moro money in
circulation, for money is to the
working and business world what
blood is to the flesh, and is as nee*.
essary to onablo a government to
discharge its (juties or fund ions
politically as ih blood to the body,
and whrt our government .needs
and has needed for the last
century, has boon more monoy in
circulation. And our ; officials in.
congress have worked overy plan
that man or. devil or both com*
hinod, could to keep tho monoy
from circulating, oxcopt from bank
to bank, by demonetizing silvor
so that bondholders could have
somo oxcuso to not receive it in
payment for matured bonds, and
they urged that if those bondls
wort paid ofl in silvor or coin and
forced into oironlalion that iit
would be so plentiful that it would
be worthless; and so onr good
Georgia democrats helped, to de¬
monetize silver 'by stopping the
coinago. Somo of them that have
votod in congress to stop the coin¬
age of silver are now asking to go
back again. 1 hoard *a good Geor¬
gia democrat say that wo should
demonetize silver right straight
out, for it was so heavy that it was
in ovory way unfit for a curroncy,
that nothing but gold and national
bonds should bo recognized as cur¬
rency, and that greenbacks would
bo sufficient for all busincs.
I ffnd high and low tariff and no
tariff democrats in our ranks, and
we are going to bavo a primary
election this summer or fall, and
we must have the^primaries put oil
until the last of August so that wo
can hear from all who expects to
bo candidates for either state or
national offices. We must have
"men in office who feel tho need of
more monoy in circulation; we
must bave men from amongst the
peoplo. The rich man can’t see
bear or feel our sufferings and they
will not heed them, for everybody
looks from his ewn personal stf,nd
fO nt. We poor laborern see that
wo want more money in circula¬
tion, and wo can’t see but two ways
to get it. One is tho way that the
Allianee has pointed out, and the
other way is to adopt the old diem
ocratio doctrine, which is froo trade
with the world and raiso the rove
tho v *i * • . by 1 di¬
nue to run government
rect tax on all tho capital held by
tho whole people, but nothing if
taxable but that which is ovor what
tbeir indebtedness, and then doub¬
le tax every $100,000. This is the
only way that wo can save tho gov¬
ernment^ unless you can makjthc
descendants of tho pld revolutions
ry heroes submit to abject slavery.

The Ways of Justice.
Whilo at tho postoffice in an
Ohio village^ I hoard tho report
that a murderer had been capturod,
and so I followed tho crowd to tho
•' * <• •
lockup to learn more about it, re¬
lates a writer in tbo New York Sun.
Thore I foundJJit prisoner whose
every appearance proved the pro¬
fessional tramp. He was about 40
years of .age, very cool, and he
greetod the charge of murder wit!
a smile. In a short time he was
taken refore a justice of the peace
for examination, and I found a seal
in tbo crowd. One look at the
justice satisfied me thai he realized
tho awful graviiy of tbo United
States on his broad back.
‘Prisoner,’ ho began, ‘don’t trifle
with this court, for it won’t be al¬
lowed.’
‘Who’s going to trifle?’ was the
answer.
‘Don’t yon doit, sir—don’t you
do ill Now, thon, do you want to
confess?’
‘To what?’

Georgia’s Population.
* f *
A Washington special td tho
f ,
holograph published yestorday an
nouncod that tho rough at tho con'
sui office made tho^ population of
Georgia about 1,900,000. In most
inslances tho rough count has boon
mproaaod by the official figures
and thoro is reason to bolievo that
Georgia.will be credited with moro
than 1,900,000 peoplo. Tho esti¬
mates, based on incomplete rq>.
turns, sont to us some weeks ago
placed the population at, 1.840,000
and that was considered a most
creditable increase over the 1,542,^,
180, which tho htato had in 1880.
But 1,900,000 is a superb showing.
No other South Atlantic stato has
made anything like such a gain
and it places Georgia ahead of sev
oral Western qtatos, which exceodw
od her in population ton years ago.
In 1880, there was a difference of
only 179 botween tho population pf
Georgia and that of Tonnossoo, the
advantago being in favor, of tho
latter state. Now,Goprgih . urn
100,000 moro peoplo than.Tonnes

100,000 njore people thr.q G©wi^
Our stato has closed tho gap at.d
passed Kcnluoky by about 30,U00
Virginia, in 1380. was loss tba- 30,
000 votes behind Gcoag r a, but now
Georgia’s lead of Virginia is fully
200,000* If the present ratio o Nl
congressional representation rvor »
maintained, Georgia would gaL*
two congressmen. But moro n
crease in population may nol '^o an
udyantago to a start.\ If; in add*.
lion to tho natural incroaso tbc w i»
comes in a turbulent or heterygo v
neous element, the otate is distipot.
Iy the losor by tho growth of bo.
popular bulk. The most fortunato
thing about .the increase of< 2 k .
gia’s population is that nea. ly al.
tho citizens she has gninod hy in.
migration have come front the »!d
states. They aro Americrn ir.
thoir principles and their modes of
of life. They have come ,to io
crease their, our induitrinl .enter¬
prises, to till opr fields, to build up
our cities and towna. No qiate bar
received a better class of arrival'/
from outside its bordora since th»
census of 1880 than has Georgia.
Theroforo, we claim 1,900,000 poo »

abounding hope of t CT c possil Jutes

Feed Against Cholera.'
It isi juet as easy to feed to pre %
vent chplera as it is to produco U
says D. W. Hartwell, of Orogo ',
Wig. To keep swine healthy v*o
must food for that puaposo. We
must keep the blood cool, instead
of feverish. I find that feeding an¬
ti rely on sweet food is not the best
for the health of swine. It cauf-es
(everymess and thickening of the
blood and is constipating wLc^
swine aro subject to choleru. It ? >
also apt to produce worms, wh of*
I find kill throo-fourths df the swirc
that die with tho so-called hog cb< ?
ora in three different stages, so I jb<
safely say that I know what will
produco it. I would feod to pre¬
vent it in this way: Feed a mixtuo
of ground oats, bran and middiirirc .
Prepare to day whht you wo »i
feed to-morrow. The system
swine requires a swill tha «ua
in it. Vinegar is not health,, Oi*
swine, but swill that forn u,
lactic acid is healthy for tbo g:’ w
ing shoaL, ^iagar is all righi. v
you want to thicken the bioou o
get your swine ready for market.
