without any relief, I was persuad

After using one bottle, I saw quite
an improvement in his condition.
Being so much gratified with this

After using one-half dozen bottles
he gained thirtv or forty pounds

HINTS TO GUESTS.
%
How You Can Make a visit at
Your Friend’s House Agreeable.
Beware of the chair with one or two
weak legs and a frail back. There is
such a chair in every home. It 4s
more or less a cripple—generally more,
often very much more—and nine out
of ten guests will pick it out from
among a dozen and flop down into it.
I never missed doing that myself.
I wonder that folks don’t label such
chairs as follows: “Don’t sit in this
chair; it is a cripple, and is kept only
to fill up a corner. ”
Always say that the baby is the
handsomest child you ever saw, and
that it strikingly resembles both its
father and ' - mother. A little lie
like the ,,n the part of the guest
doesn’t cost a cent, and helps wonder¬
fully to clear away the gloom that
has been cast over the family circle
by an unexpected visitor who has
come in just as the tea and white sugar
are gone.
Don't compare the coffee of your
hostess to muldy water and her pie¬
crust to sole- leather because she asKS
you to mak6 yourself “perfectly at
home,” and to feel “just as if you
were in your own house.” She does’nt
mean you to feel at home quite that
far.
Don’t try to sing io the house of
your host. You should east as little
gloom as possible over the home you
are visiting. If you have a desire to
sing, and can not stifle it, go to tlie
woods. If you sing as wretchedly as
some folks I have heard, including my
mother-in-law’s daughter’s husband,
go several miles into the woods before
you let your warbler loose.
When you observe the adored
offspring of your host using your new
plug-hat. for a drum, wear a glad
smile and make some pleasant remark
about the tendency of boys to be boys.
IFait for solitude in which to express
your true feelings, i
If you are a guest on a farm, make
yourself generally useful. You can
become as solid as the eternal hills
with your host by merely putting in
ten lively bourse of eacli day in the
cornfield, and then milking a few cows
after supper. If you will keep this
up for a week or two your host will
weep your bosom full of “cabling tears
when you declare your intention to
tear yourself away from him.
You should, as far as possible, adopt
the rules and regulations, and follow
the manners and customs, of the fami¬
ly whose guest you are. If tlie fever
and ague prevail in the domestic
circle, you can raise yourself to a
high degree in the esti'matsiou of your
host and hostess by falling in with the
procession and having your chill and
taking your quinine pill at the regular
family hour.—Scott’s Way, in Puck’s
Annual.
To tho Organized Democracy of
Taliaferro County,
There seems to be jrrecipitated into
the contest between Bacon and Gordon
this measure: Shall we have amass
meeting of the Democrats for tlie pur¬
pose of selecting delegates to the State
Convention, or shall we have a prima¬
ry election? Now this question seems
to he drawn on a strict line; those for
Gordon being in favor of the latter and
the Bacon men in favor of the former
measure. It is a well known fact that
the politics of this county are very un
savory. Taking the size of the county
into consideration, it would be a hard
matter to find one in which there
are more mongrels (called
ents) than in Taliaferro. Some of this
breed are for Bacon (but they are very
scattering) while the Gordon ranks are
full of them. We do not mean to say
that there are no solid, strict Demo
crats for Gordon; but we do say that
majority of this class are Bacon men,
while a large portion of the Gordon
men are mongrels.
Now this question comes up-wbo
is working for the good of this county?
Is it these fellows who have wandered
off into the inclosing arms of the re
publicans, or is it the people who have
8tood by old 'fahaferro for 20 years
^ ^ who favor lhe equaliV
Qf ^ ro and t he white man; who
favor or .n tunes past na . supported if'
the party who favored putwog negros
on the jury? Or are we to look for
safety to those who have ever been
g a u au t fighters for Democratic princi
pies and Democratic doctrines. , .,
Whose friend are you.
We know there cau be but one
swer to this question. Every Demo¬
crat in Taliaferro county will say:
“Down with the independant ele¬
ment.’ They are and ever have been
the enemies of the organized Demo¬
cracy.
And we know exactly where to find
every one of this class. They advocate
the same doctrine that General Gor
dou ts now inculcating, that of priina
iy elections. They cry out in opposi
tier, to mass-meetings of Democrats.
They say give “the people” a showing.
They raise a big lmo and cry over
“little court-house lawyers, rings and
cliques,F and seem to be under the
imi^ression and to try to impress it on
otl.ii s, that they have no right in a
ma s-moeting, and that these are
governed by the say so of two or
fchrje men.
^je truth is this: Every Democrat
in Uaferro county has as much right
and as much voice in a mass-meeting
as any other man. If a man is not a
Di. niocrat, if he belongs to the republi¬
can or what is the same thing, inde¬
pendent party, he has no l ight In a
mass-meeting of Democrats, and this
cry f»f primaries is raised for the mere
PH qgpso of giying the negros, inde
pc:. Wits and republicans, a say so in
whom tlie Democrats shall support for
Governor.
This is dangerous doctrine— calcu¬
lated to mjlire the Democratic party
as much as any other measure which
ebu/d lie adopted. Let every one of
tills grand old party rally, and say
whether their vote shall be killed by a
negro, in their nominations, This is
the only safe way. In it lies the safe¬
ty of our institution.
Democrat.
Judge Lumpkin Praised.
A correspondent recently writing
from Washington, Gn.,to tlie Augusta
Chixmicle has the following true words
ol Ji dge Lumpkin, which is heartily
by tlie entire Norhern
r,
i‘I cannot allow the entire circuit to
close without again saying something
of the high and true merit in which
Judge Lumpkin is held by t.he people
throughout his entire field. The bar
and Hie people alike hold him in tlie
highest esteem. I speak not from
rumor, but from my own knowledge,
having been the i omuls at all of liis
courts and being with the people all
the time. I have had the opportunity
of hearing the general expression of
all and can say truthfully,(and news¬
paper men never lie) that I haven’t
heard a single complaint charged
against him. Furthermore, I havn’t
seen in any instance, where Judge
Lumpkin used partiality, showing no
more attention to his warmest friends
in a professional way, than he would
to others who were not so. It is the
general remark that Judge Lurnpkin
can dispatch business with more ease
and rapidity than any Judge in the
State, anrt this is not saying anything
against the other Judges, because I
am told that Georgia has as fine a. set
of Judges as can bo found in any
State, I do not claim to be a prophet,
but as Sam .Jones puts it, I believe 1
can “see through a ladder if there’s a
light on the other side,” and therefore
say that a few years more will put
Lumpkin on tho Supreme bench of tho
State.”

During the last session of the Leg
islature an amendment was offered to
to the Constitution emlradying therein
the intention to supply the soldiers
who lost a limb or limbs in the mill
tary service of the Jonfedeiate States,
with suitable artificial i iinbs during
life, and to make suitable provisions
for such Confederate Soldiers as may
have been permanently mju •
service. The Governor is to have tho
Amendment published in one or more
niwspapers of each Congressional Dis
tret for two months previous to the
gmeral election, submitting the same
to the people for “ratification” or
“ion ratification.” The Amend
merit must also be agreed to by two
thirds of the members elected to each
of the Houses.

Survival of the Fittest.
For some time past the question of
purity in baking powders has formed
quite a feature of newspaper discus¬
sions, and eminent doctors of philoso¬
phy have given opinions as to the
ingredients which compose many of
the articles sold under that name,
The investigations have narrowed
down to the limit which awards tho
Royal Baking Powder the palm of pur
ity, and several of the most disting¬
uished scientists Have testified to their
couviction that no extraneous or
deleterious matter enters into its com¬
position. The Royal Baking Powder
Company have achieved a world-wide
reputation for the success which has
marked their preparation of cream of
tartar for baking purposes. It is
indisputably shown that they have
eliminated all elements of tartrate of
lime, alum or othrr impurities, and
present to tho public a healthful ami
chemically pure article. Such widely
known chemists as Henry Morton, E.
G. Love, If. A. Mott, Win. McMurtrie
and others have verified its superiority
over other manufactures, and testified,
through practical exjierience, to its
excellence, it is well for families to
observe the fact that it costs mote to
manufacture the Royal Raking Powd¬
er than any other, but it is, as shown
by chemical analysis, tho one “absolu¬
tely pure” baking powder made.
