Capt. W. G. Raoul, the noted rail
roader, is visiting Savannah. Can’t the
present management of the Central and
Southwestern railroads get him to give
them a few points on “how to run trains
on time and avoid smash ups” while he
is here? Capt. Raoul used to do this
when he had charge of this system.
A Welkin son county journalist, in
spired by the thought of some day be
coming editor-in-chief of the Billville
Banner, or some other great pay er, by
the reputation • and notoriety gained
therefrom, lit down in the wicked city
of Macon for the purpose of “writing
her up.” He took an overdose of “in
spiration” drops, so commonly used by
country editors, and it wasn’t long be
fore a blue^coated policeman had him.
He can now find material for a
very spirited article on “Fourih street

The Peti iraat in Politics.
This is the “Kansas idea,” and so far
it seems to be sweeping that state. At
any rate, the petticoat in politics swept
Ingalls out of his senatorial seat, has
introduced and passed a number of bills
in the Kansas legislature, and is doing a
great deal in that free and windy state
to make female suffrage popular.
Not content with all this, the female
portion of the Kansas alliance is pre
paring to moving on to Washington.
Mrs. Diggs is their representative, and
she is described as a lady five feet, one
inch in-height, weighs one hundred and
five pounds, and is possessed of a ready
pen and a fluent tongue. In Washing
ton, where she will act as a correspon
dent of two papers, and the representa
tive of the women in the Kansas alliance,
she will have the backing of one senator
and five congressmen.
Mrs. Diggs contends that if the women
had been allowed any voice in the gov
ernment, affairs would not be at their
present state in Kansas, and now that
the women, through the alliance, have a
hold on the state government, they pro
pose to keep it and extend it as much as
possible.
With such a clear-headed representa
tive at Washington, if the alliance co n
gressmen act on her advice, lobbyists
may work in vain to put through job
bing bills. It will be interesting to
watch the course of this petticoat in pol
itics in the capital where they are sup
posed to make laws.
Consumption Cured.
An old physician, retired from practice,
having had placed in his hands by an East
India-missionary the formular of a simple
vegetable remedy for the speedy and per
manent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis,
Catarrh, Asthma and all Throat and Lung
affections, also a positive and radical cure
for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Com
plaints, after Laving tested its wonderful
curative powers in thousands of cases, has
felt it his duty ro make it known to his
suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive
and a desire to relieve human suffering, I
will send free of charge, to all who desire
it, this recipe, in German, French or Eng
lisg with full directions for preparing and
using. Sent by mail by addressing with
stamp, naming this paper. W. A. Notes,

The soldiers of the United States are

A Wonder Worker.
Mr. Frank Huffman, a young man of
Burlington, Ohio, states that he had been
under the care of two prominent physicians
and used their treatment until he was not
able to get around. They pronounced • his
case to be Consumption and incurable. He
was persuaded to try Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption, ( oughs and Colds
and at that time-was notable to walk across
the street without‘resting. Ue found,be
fore he had used half a bottle, that he was
much better; he continued to use it and is
to-day enjoying good health. If you have
any Throat, Lung or Chest trouble try it.
We guarantee satisfaction. Trial bottles
free at Dr. J. M. Hatchett’s drug store.
Grace Griduey, known as the “sleep

from a nine-month's sleep, and will
probably recover. She was conscious of

If any of our readers are thinking of
buying a Piano or Organ they will be
interested by the advertisement of Lud
den Bates Southern Music House of
Savannah, Ga. The enterprise and rep
utation of the house is so well known as
hardly to need mention. They have
been doing business in every Southern
State for upwards of twenty years, and
have sold Ilie enormous number of 44,-
000 instruments. The prices- are always
as low as those of the factories—they
handle the best known instruments of
America—and their terms are the most
liberal known. Write them. They will
take pleasure in corresponding with

A kegro impostor named John Loftin

tended to move them by incantations
and rubbing them with a stew contain

Manv letters are received bv the P. P.

used such and such a blood purifier and
sarsaparillas, mentioning their names
: and s ating they did no good, and they
did not get well until P. P. P. (Prickly
Ash, Poke Root and Potassium) was
tried. These letters w? started to pub

• wrote us fearful letters, and we discon
■ tinned same, but P. P. P.-(Prickly Ash,

BLUFFTON NEWS'.
Bdcffton, Ga., March 3.—Farmers
are behind in their work, many not hav
ing planted corn or cane.
Bluffton has a mixed school of about
one hundred students. Prof. W. C. Mc
kenzie is principal, assisted by Miss
Lena Bethea and Dr. McKenzie. There
are five other white schools near here
with a total attendance of about two
] hundred pupils, besides several colored
। schools. This goes to show that our
citizens arc much interested in educating
their children.
Mr. W. B. Bryan has a contract to re
*■
pair the old academy, and add thereto a
two-story building 40x60, which is much
needed. At present school is being'
taught in the Baptist church; our Bap
tist friends deserve much credit for ten
dering their church to the school.
Not long since this district voted on
the “fence question,” and one farmer
. came in tow n with a fence rail on his
। shoulder. His side won.
Bluffton is a beautiful village, quite
! healthy, with no barroom, pool or bil
■ hard saloon, and suirounded by fine
farming lands.
To-day Mr. E. S. .Tones and Miss Julia
j McArthur set sail on the matrimonial
see. Mr Jones is in the livery stable
business here, and is one of our staunch
est citizens. Miss McArthur is one of
Early county's most noble daughters.
v V o
I They have many friends who sincerely
| hope they may never encounter rough
sailing, but may safely land on the
“port up yonder.”
Daily and nightly a poor mule peram
bulates our streets, seeming to say,
! “Here is your mule; where is your corn
I and fodder?” Some one ought to ad
: minister to the wants of that poor
i balaam.

Save Money and Suffering.
One feature of the thousands of testi
monials that have been given in behalf
of 8. 8. S. is remarkable. In number
of instances it is related that a great deal
of time and money have been spent in
a vain effort to secure relief from diseases
in the usual way. A knowledge of the
virtues of Swift’s Specific would have
saved the time and money, to say noth
ing of the prevention of the suffering
There need be no such mistakes made
now. The great blood purifier is for
sale by druggists every whore, and the 8.
S. S. company in Atlanta will send to
any address their Treatise on Blood and
Skin Diseases free, and a phamlet con
taing a few of the thousands of testimon
ials they have received from those who
have experienced the benefits of this
wonderful medicine.
Marshal Williams received a telegram
from Atlanta Wednesday announcing the
death of Mr. E. M. Seymour, which oc
curred in that city. Mr. Seymour was
formerly a citizen of our town. Hb re
mains were interred at this place in the
new cemetery Thursday evening.
People wonder when they find how
rapidly health is restored by taking P.P.
P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Potas
sium). The reason is simple, as it is a
powerful combination of the roots and
herbs of the home woods.

Gestucmeh: In the spring cf 1883 I contracted a
severe case of Blood Poison, and for more than a

taken quantities of all the blood purifiers on the

struck w. W. C. (Wooldridge’s Wonderful Cure'.
Five bottles of this truly wonderful medicine has
made a complete cure of me. XVhen I commenced
