Our exposition has not been deferred. Do you want Harris represented in the next legislature by negroes ? If you stay at home next Wednesday the probability is that it will be so represented. It isn’t every county that can have such a fair as Harris county has to¬ day. The man who sees the exhibit in the court house and is not prouder of being a citizen of Harris because of it, is made of poor material. Remember the election next Wed¬ nesday and go to the- polls. Do not take it for granted your vote will not be needed. Two negroes are in the field for representatives and if no more white people go to the polls Wednesday than voted two years ago at the October election, these negroes will be elected. The Chattahoochee Valley Exposi tion opens on the 4tli of October and continues nine days. An interesting program has been prepared for each day and the public may rely upon having every feature carried out as published. The management has in every instance given the public more than it has anticipated, and they do not propose to discontinue this policy until the Exposition is closed.

There is a skeleton in every closet and every heart knows its own bitter¬ ness. If the light of a tender heart could be shed on the bitter experien¬ ces of others less harsh judgment would be passed on the conduct of others and the sum of happiness would be vastly increased. It takes a hero often to discharge a painful duty. A smiling face often covers a sad heart,, and if the history of that heart could be known human sympar thy would be oftener given* What I a heart-struggle there is to give up a coveted object when duty commands. The golden .apples may hang within reach, bright, beautiful and attract¬ ive and every impulse is onward, but duty says stay thy hand, then how hard it is to obey. Then when the wounded spirit passes through the dark slough of despond who will utter the cheering word of sympathy and cast some light on a darkened path-way ? A wound in the flesh may be healed by the soothing balm of a skillful physician, but who shall heal the wounded spirit suffering un¬ der a loss, a cross or a disappoint¬ ment that none can know but those that suffer it? A look or a kind word may be as the gentle fanning on the fevered brow, or the cooling draft of water to the weary traveler in a “dry and thirsty land where no water is.” Who can measure the electric touch of kindness in affliction or bereavement, and how precious the tone of sympathy in hours of sad ness. It’s a fyend “that sticketh closer than a brother” and comes to help and cheer in the hour of need. The divine injunction,” be kindly affec tioned one to another,” if followed, will make “the path of life brighter and brighter unto the perfect day.” ONE DOLLAR A YEAR, STRIOTLY IN ADVANCE. It contains one of the main elements of human happiness. The wise will cultivate this heaven-born feeling and pluck the golden fruit from the tree of life. Amicus. WOMAN’S RELIEF. “Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal,” whether arising from physical, mental, or moral sources. The promises and consolations of the gospel furnished abundant remedies for all spiritual or mental woes, and the Creator has restored, in the kirn; (lorn of Nature, remedies for every physical ailment. For ages these remedies were allowed to he dormant, through the ignorance of mankind as to their uses, and for ages more but little attention was given to remedies for the peculiar afflictions of woman, who was looked upon and treated as a slave by lordly, and then brutal man, and her suffering regarded with beastly indifference. In latter times, science and Christian philanthropy have come to her relief, devising remedies for her peculiar weaknesses, which have been combined in Dr. Tierce’s Favorite Prescription, a tern edy that cures the pains, aches, nau¬ sea, displacements, wasting and debit itating afflictions to which she is con¬ stantly exposed. “Favorite Prescrip* tion” is the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee from the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will be refunded. This guarantee has been printed on the lottle-wrapper, and faithfully car tied out for many years. Warner’s Log Cabin Remedies— old fashioned,simple compounds,used in the days of our hardy forefather*, are “old timers” but “ofd reliable.” They comprise a “Sarsaparilla,*' “Hops and Buchu Remedy,” “Cough Consumption Remedy,’’“Hair Tonic,” “Extract,” for External and Internal Use, “Plasters,” “Rose Cream,” for Catarrh, and “Liver Pills.” They are put up by H.
