second.

Babon Eugene M. Drake, who has

important citizen in North Georgia. We
are patiently waiting for our legacy to
come to life.
Faro and chickens cost Savannah’s
sports over $6,000 last week at Charles
ton. Some of the more unfortunate ones
had to foot it home. “A fool, and his
money soon parts.”
Three-legged chickens are becoming
numerous throughout the State. Much
rather they’d increase the number of
gizzards than any other part, as we are
particularly fond of them.
A man in Gibson ate recently six doz-
en raw eggs, one pound of cheese and
one pound of crackei-s in a half hour’s
time. This portable commissary still
lives to squall for more.
Carnesville had a matrimonial cy
clone Saturday night and Sunday of last
week. No less than six couples bunched
rags, in twenty-four hours. Cotton chop

scarce among the male population.
The heartless individual who dropped
a plugged quarter in the contribution

At a negro church festival near Mor

penetrated persons in the audience.
“This is going to be a lively summer
mer in Georgia. New editors and new
weekly papers are springing up all over
the State. The editors are good finan
cial indicators.’"—Atlanta Constitution.
The enormous blackberry crop is the
greatest inducement for these new ven
tures, Brother Stanton. Who wouldn't
be an editor in blackberry and picnic
season ?
/V NATURAL CONCLUSION,
It is natural that those who have been
deceived by the various nostrums that
are continually offered to the pub
lic should demand a more substantial
testimonial than the simple declaration
of those who are interested in the sale of
a medicine. Recognizing the justice of
this demand, the Swift Specific (S. S.
S.) Company, of Atlanta, have embodied
in pamphlet form a few of the more
noteworthy testimonials that have come
to them unsolicited. This pamphlet to
gether with other interesting matter,
they will take pleasure in sending to any
address. Write to the S. S. S. Com
pany, Drawer 3, Atlanta, Georgia.

What the Constitution Saya.
Mr, Editor:—ln further evidence of
what I have said as to the discrimination
of our pernicious national banking sys
tem, I offer an extract fiom the Atlanta
Constitution which very plainly illus
trates the difference between a govern
ment of and for the masses instead of
the classes. G. W. C.
A MODEL FINANCIAL SYSTEM.
Atlanta Constitution, May 18th.
In France our American finance is re
versed. Here the banking system is for
the classes and the masses are ignored;
in France the masses are accomodated
first, and the classes are left to take care
themselves. In this country the banks
do not lend money on land; in France
the credit Foncier system will sell on
nothing but land. Our national banks
are for the benefit of business men and
speculators; the French credit Agricole
discounts bills and loans on on personal
and other security, but always with a
view of promoting agriculture. Our gov
ernment only issues a limited volume of
treasury certificates; in France the bank
of France has the monopoly of issuing
bank notes. Under our system paper
money must be convertable into specie
to the full amount of the notes in circu
lation; in France the paper money is
largely in excess of the specie, but no
run on the bank is feared. We are trying
to transact the business of a vast country
with multiplying industries, on a circu
lation of abtuut S2O. per capita; in
France, a small country, with a smaller
volume of business than ours, the cir
culation is fifty odd dollars per capita.
Ours is the worst banking system in the
world, and that of France is the best.
Now that we are agitating tbe ques
tion of financcial reform in earnest, the
sooner we get these points into our
heads tbe better it will be for us.

We are in sympathy with the prohibi
tionists of Bluffton and regret very much
to know that the nice, quiet, little town
which we admire so much, and whose
citizens we esteem so highly, is in dan
ger of being drenched and cursed w ith a
barroom, from which if placed there, will
never recover. Father, how could you
sign a petition for it if you knew- your
son would live a life of shame and dis
grace, and at last fill a drunkard's grave,
and in eternity suffer the penalty there
for. Mother, as a true mother to your
family—as a heroine of the land for the
good of humanity, and as a soldier for
the right. Christianity, God and Heav
en, would you allow one effort to bo lost
in the fight agains the beverage of Hell
and the effects thereof, while the war
lasts and there is a human to tolerate it.
Young man, probably a good number of
your days are before you. You are the
hope of our country. Consider how you
should conduct yourselves. How would
you like to link your destiny to a young
lady who visits the barroom and gets
raving mad under the influence of strong
drink, and belch out deafening oaths,
and wallow in the streets of your town ?
You say “She would not be so lovely. ’
Then, how can she appreciate it in you ?
Young lady, be not hasty in marriage
when you know there is danger ahead.
How can»you risk yourself ’n the care of
a man whose brain is curded and all his
evil passions aroused and combined
to do thee hurt? Woe unto him who
giveth his neighbor drink, or putteth his
bottle to him. Save humanity.

NEWS FROM BLUFFTON.
Bluffton. Ga., May 19th.—Mr. Tom
Humpreys has returned from a trip in
South Georgia. He says the peach crop
in Thomas, Brooks and Berrien counties
will be fine—that melons are humping,
but pears are scarce.
People here are depending almost en
tirely upon blackberries, which seldom
fail.
About 1872, the legislature passed an
Act prohibiting the sale of intoxicating
liquors within three miles of Bluffton.
Since then efforts have been made to re
peal said Act, but they were futile. Re
cently our citizens have been greatly ex
ercised over the efforts being made to
have the present legislature to repeal
the Act and allow whisky sold here.
Last Sunday week Rev. R. B. Taylor
delivered au able serman on the subject,
and last Sunday Rev. Bascom Sentell
said it was a delicate subject, a delicate
time, and he proposed to handle it in a
delicate manner; that he would state
facts, lay the matter open before the
hearers and leave them to draw their
conclusions; in doing which he delivered
one of the most convincing sermons we
ever heard The large church was crowd
ed with all denomination of this section,
and non-piofessors, and when he con
cluded he proposed that both sides drop
the question, and requested all in favor
of so doing to rise to their feet, and
nearly every one arose. Thus ended an
other victory for Temperance and peace.
Bluffton has the reputation of being
one of the most quiet, moral and social
towns in Georgia, while her buildings
show that she is on the road to peace,
prosperity and healthfulness.
Our old Academy is 28x40, while the
new addition is two stories, 35x60, which
will add no little to our school building’.
Mr. W. T. Greene says he has seen many
uoofs in laigfi cities, lint the one on tlie
new Academy is one of the prettiest he
ever saw.
Monday “Our Boss” enlivened us with
his genial presence, and our only regret
of his coming was, his sojourn was too
brief. He promised to “come again,”
and we hope he will do so.
Everybody has heard of the Bluff
ton picnics, and some are asking about
the next one. We’ve heard the County
Alliance convenes here Julj 7th, which
will be on Tuesday, and we think that
will be an opportune time for the annual
festival.
Dr. Stafford Rambo recently gradu
ated with honor in Baltimore, and he
bids fair to become a renowned physi
cian. He was raised here, and our citi
zens are justly proud of him He and
Dr. P. H. Thompson I ave united in
their profession, and their prospects of
success are bright.
We regret that Dr. Thompson is un
well, and we hope his indisposition will
toon be disposed of.
Present indications are the clouds will
be weeping ere the morrow’s sun.
Mr. C. C. Geer is again selling Sew
ing machines. He is a good agent.
Sunday Mr. J. D. Lee came near los
ing his saw mill. Saw dust was burning
and the mill caught on fire, and only the
heroic efforts of many saved it. But lit
tle damage was done.
What It Costs
Must be carefully considered by the great
majority of the people, in buying even ne
cessities of life. Hood’s Saisaparilla com
mends itself with special force to the great
middle classes, because it combines posit've
economy with great mydical power. It is
the only medicine of which can truly b e
said “100 Doses One Dollar,” and a bottle
taken according to directions will average
to last a manth.
Col. C. Price, son of the famous Gen.
Sterling Price, is announced as the apos
tle of a new religion which he is to
preach in the West. Plans and specifi
cations do not acompany the announce
ment.
We’ve beard of a woman who said she’d
walk five miles to get a bott'e of Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription if she couldn’t
get it without. That woman had tried it.
And it’s a Medicine which makes itself felt
in toning up the system and correcting ir
regularities as soon as its use is begun. Go
to your drug store, pay a dollar, get a bot
tie andtry it—try it a second, a third if nec
essary. Before the third one has been taken
you’ll know that there’s a remedy to help
you. Then you’ll keep on and' a eure’ll
come. But if you shouldn’t feel the help,
should be disappointed in the result—you’ll
find a guarantee printed on the bottle wrap
per that’ll get your money back for you.
How many women are there who’d rather
have the money than health? And Pierce’s
“Favorite Prescription” produces health.
Wonder is that there is a woman willing to
suffer when there’s a guaranteed remedy in
the nearest drug stors.

Messrs. F. J. Cheney A: Co.—Gentlemen;
—1 have been in the general practice of
medicine for most 40 years, and would say
that in all my practice and experience have
never seen a preparation that I could pre
scribe with as much confidence of success as
I can Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
you. Have prescribed it a great many
times and its effect is wonderful, and would
say in conclusion that I have yet to find a
case of catarrh that it would ’ not cure, if
they would take it according to directions.
Yours tru'y,
L. L. GORSUCH; M. D.,

We will give SIOO for any case of catarrh
that cannot be cured with Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Taken internally.

tomer express anything but words of praise
for the medicine. It has been my experi
ence that any customer who once uses
Chamberlin’s Pain Balm will have nothing
else when again in need of such a medicine.
