UNCLE BILLY BARDEN.
In the pine belt of lower Georgia
there lived a noted character named
William Barden, usually called uncle
Billy Barden. Uncle Billy was an
unlearned man, ot strong native in¬
tellect and very firm in his convictions
and opinions. Though of advanced
age he had never learned that he w as
ignorant, but thought that “he knew
it all,” as he expressed it. Uncle
Billy kept the only hotel io the vil
lage and was at the same time “de
facto” ferryman. On one occasion
a runaway couple came to the river
and called loudly and earnestly for
the ferryman. Uncle Billy served
them and while crossing they inquir¬
ed for a hotel. Uncle. Billy told
them that he kept the hotel, and he
conducted them to it. They were
quick to inquire for the ordinary’s
office to get a license to marry, Un
cle Billy toid them that he was clerk
of ordinary and the next necessity
vvas a minister ot the gospel and un
cle Billey was.not slow in telling them
that he was a minister, and in short
order he made the two wi ling hearts
happy bv performing the ceremony
for them. Uncle Billy was fond of
telling what an accommodating man
he was, how he ferried the couple
over the river, issued the license,mar
ried the couple and entertained them
in his palace hotel all in the same
day, and besides he gave them some
good and wholesome advice, that is,
always to pay the ferryman, pay the
hotel man and pay the preacher well
and liberally, and good luck would
always follow.
Uncle Billy was very proud of his
hotel and oft en boasted what a splen¬
did house he kept, but all knew that
its popularity was due to that pretty
little woman who presided over its
management. Sales day or the first
Tuesday, as uncle Billy always called
it, was approaching and he was on
the alert to have a fine dinner. Just
then Tim Toney, a noted huntsman
and a great gourmand, A made k; uis e ap- an
pearance with a large turkey gobbler
and soon uncle Billy was bidding for
il One dollar was too much. Tim
-
declareu that he would hot tak± less
but after much talk he decided to
take 75 cents on condition that he
was to have Irs dinner off the turkey,
an d so the tiade w..s clu&ed. The
first Tuesd ay came and ’inn was
present. Tim tiersuaOed uncle
that he was the bea carver in the
world, that he could show how to
make a great display of the turkey?
and would eat his bite and be out of
the way of the otler boarders, So
when the first bell rang Tim was ad¬
mitted and the fine turkey brought
and at it Tim went. In he mem
time uncle Billy was outside hinting
in loud tones what a,fine dinner he
had in store for them. When the
second bell rang the visitors, with
uncle Billy in the lead, came in. One
may guess his surprise when he be¬
held Tim finishing up the last of the
turkey and only the bones remained,
“ Mr. Toney, where is the turkey
meat?” “Why,” said Tim, “I eat it
according to contract, and I think 1
can hunt a week on this dinner.”
The boarders took in the situation
and roared with laughter. Uncle
Billy did not buy any more turkeys
giving the seller the privilege of a
dinner off of it. Lena.

A man who has practiced medicine
for 40 years ought to know salt

Toledo, O., Jan. 10, 1887.
Messrs F* J. Cheney & Co.—Gen
tiemen : I have been in the general
practice of medicine for most 40 yrs,
and would say that in all my practice
and experience, have never seen a
preparation that I could prescribe
with as*much confidence 01 success
I can Hall’s Catarrh Cure, nianu
factored by you. Have pi escribed it
a great many limes and its effect is
wonderful, and would say in conclu¬
sion that I have yet to find a case of
Catarrh that it would not cure,if they
would take it accoiding to directions.
Yours truly,
L. L. Gorsuch, M.D.,
Office, 215 Summit St.
We will give $100 for any case of
Catarrh that cannot be cured with
Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Taken inter¬
nally.

been aw k » 1 bis life, and not able to
any work of any kind I thought he han
dropsy Ms blood was almost like w-dev.
He has never had any appefi'e or color,
and was unfL tor anything, being in such
an awful condition. I have during the
last ten years expected hiin to die at any
moment, he could not walk I(i0
witbont resting two or three times. In
three or four days after giving him
Briggs’ Nunnbetter Tonic Pills be did a
whole days work in the field, beiDg so
much improved. He now has a good ap ¬

and color. 1 know the Pills have given
bun a new loose of life, and I recommend
them above every medicine on earth. My

Probably no one thing has caused such a
general revival of trad*- at Cook B os as
their giving away to their customers of so
many nee tiLI bottles of Dr. Kin'gs New
Discovery for Consumption Their trade
is simp y enormous ; n this valuable aiticle
from, the fact that it always cure- and nev¬
er disappoints. Coughs, colds Ast' ma,
Bronchitis, croup, and a 1 ! throa* and lung
diseases quickly cured. You can test it
before buying by getting a trial bottle

The success of some cf the agents ern
