THE OUTLOOK.
Mr. Editor -.—The near *p
proach u of the close » of c the *l year tug.
gestssome thoughts. The wise and
prudent navigator on the wtde ex
panse of waters taxes hi reckontn ,
at stated periods and o oks well o
his chart and compass, and it will
fce well for the country to exercise
the same prudence and care.
How will stand the account at
the close of 1888, as compared with
1887? Is the country in a better
condition financially? Is there less
indebtedness? And are there more
home comforts?
I he crop . has . been reasonably ,,
good and the price fair, but the
misfortune if not fault is, that the
crop was spent before it was made.
The people buy too much. It is
unquestionably true that a large ma¬
jority of Ihe people live beyond their
means. * 'lv ’“incomings”, "outgoings” are larger
than their hence the
load of debt u.ider which tne people
labor. No more cruel tyrant ever
existed than debt, it paiuiizes to
crgy, destroys sensibiliy, blunts
keen sense of honor, and suggests
subterfuges wholiy at variance with
justice and light, and in the end
brings failure and loss..
If the indebtedness of the country
could be seen at a giance in solid
figures, the calm would be startled
into a storm and abundant reason
would be furnished why the people
are not prosperous.
A spirit ot unrest pervades the
public mind. Many of the best cit
lzens of the slate are seeking homes
in Texas, and will undergo hardships
before unknown. Farm manage¬
ment and results have not been sat¬
isfactory, labor is getting less reliable
every year, and it is now demonstra¬
ted that large farms will not pay. *
A change of the national adminis¬
tration betokens some trouble but it
is wise, not to cross the river until
you get to it. The out-look socially
rnoraliy and financially is not good.
The boasting of the wonderful
progress of the country is a myth
and misleading. IfTt could be def¬
initely ascertained what the indebt¬
edness of the country is, and that
subtracted from the estimated value
of property, it would most probably
show a very small per cent of in
crease since the war. It is certainly
true that farming, the foundation of
all real prosperity, is not prospering, realizing
and farmers as a class are
a bare subsistence- YVhat is the
remedy ? Retrenchment, economy
and reform, and avoid debt as you
would the deadly Upas tree.

BAD BLOOD.
Knoxville, Tenn., July 2, 1888.
The Swif , Specific Co„ Atlanta, Ga.
.Gentlemen:—A few years ago a
severe case of blood poison tnanifes
ted itself upon me, and I began tak
ing S. S. S. The medicine had the
desired effect, and in a short time
my system was entirely cleansed.
The medicine I found to be every
thing claimed for it, and I will be
grateful for what it has done for me.

The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.
GentlemenIn January last,
while working on the Daily Gazette,
in Augusta, Ga., I contracted a bad
case of blood poison, Sore after soie
made irs appearances upon my body
until, like Job, I was covered from
head to foot. I had the best med
ical attention but did not imp ove.
For thirty days I was a horror to my¬
self and an abhorrence to my friends.
Finally I left Augusta and landed in
Chattanooga two months ago. My
sufferings were intolerable, and I was
on the point of ending my life. A
printer whom I had known in Augus
ta told me to try Swift’s Specific.
In desperation I commenced taking
i 4^ My appetite soon returned and
.
then I began to improve rapidly.
The sores began to heal and to dis¬
appear, and ?:oou they were all gone.
To day there is but one evidence
the terriule ordeal through which 1
passed—a scar on my right leg.
Everything else is gone, and I am a
well man.
