Weak Ner ves
Indioato as shows surely anything, as any that physical the (
symptom or
gans and tissues of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and if the blood is thin, im¬
pure or insufficient, they are i» a mado state
of revolt. Their complaints are body,
to the brain, tho king of tho
tbrough" the nervous system, and the
result of tho general dissatisfaction is
wbat we call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable expla
nation of the whole matter.
Tho euro for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrioli your blood
by taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and the
nervos, tissues and organs will have
the healthful nouishment they crave,
Nervousness and Weakness will then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by the voluntary statements of
thousands cured by Hood’s
rilla. Read the next column.

The month of February, 1 KC.G, was

tho beginning of the century a con¬
stable in England named John Dun
became celebrated as a first class col¬
lector of bad accounts. When others
would fail to collect a bad debt, Dun
would be sure to get it out of tho
debtor. It soon passed into a current
phrase that when a person owed money
ami did not pay when asked, he would
have to bo “Dunned."

such eases to say : "You will lmve to

Tho division of mining statistics and

logical survey at Washington has re¬
oeived from Dr. William 0. Day, the
special agent in chnrgo of the statistics
in stone, a statement of tho production
of marble in Georgia in 1894. This
product, which comes entirely from
Pickens county, was 481,529 otibio
feet, valued at 871(5,833, as compared
with 8201,(160 tho valtio in 181)3, an
increase of 174 per cent. This shows
an activity among quarrymen of
Georgia, which is quite extraordinary,
considering the general business de¬
pression. Georgia ranks second among
th« marble producing states, Vermont
being iirst.
It is pretty definitely settled now
that college journalism at tho univer¬
sity of Georgia, which was greatly un¬
settled hy tho suspension of the Red
j and Black, will now regain its equilib¬
rium with tho reappearance of that
sheet. The excitement in college over
the action of the faculty in requiring
tho resignation of two of the editors
for certain articles published in the
paper, has about died out, and the
boys realize that they cannot well get
along without the college paper. This
is especially the case now sinco the
opening ol the athletic season, the
progress of tho baseball championship
contest and the near approach of the
annual field day of tho university, 80
tho paper will probably appear as the
organ of tho athletic association, and
will be made a bright aud newsy sheet
for the remaining part of tho year.
A Two Per Cent Interest.
Two per cent per annum will here¬
after bo paid by tho state depositories
upon tho money of tho state left in
tlioir hands. Governor Atkiuson has
announced tho successful completion
of his negotiations with tho different
bonks and the result means o good
deal of money to the state. All of the
depositories but two have signed the
contract for the payment of interest.
The Georgia Railroad Bank of Au¬
gusta, one of the banks which has had
a large balance of tho state’s money in
its hands, is one of these; the Bank of
Covington is tho o'her. This latter
bank has ueyer handled much of (he
states money. The Covington bank
pa, as ret, formally resigned, but
tho Georgia Railroad bank has, and
the money that it had is now in the
Central treasury. This was SSd,477.
The governor has been working on
this interest matter for some time.
While the law instructing tho gover
nor to secure interest, if possible,
from the depositories has been on the
statute books for a long time, not un
hM * n ? , ' ffort on ,bis liue btvu

positories, there were rumors of vigor¬

was held and a committee was appoint¬
ed to confer with the governor. To
these gentlemen he gave his views, and
they seem to have concluded that be
was right, for they reported to their

governor.

Incidents of His Hegira for the Land
of Flowers.
From Oakland to Sanford and fcpm Sanford
to Pahtka the traveler pafleea through what
wlb a few month j ago the finest orange coun¬
try in Florida. Now there is no picture of
winter that looks mori desolate than tho
groves along these railroad lines. On acres
and acres of large, shapely trce3 not a green
leaf is to be seen. They seem to be deal,
phiC(H utterly dead, and we notlo d that in burned somo
the frees had been cut clown and
hnd tbe ground was being prepared for some¬
the thing e'se. The little depot* seem deserted,
packing houses closed, the sawmills silent
aud the whole country looked like Sunday.
From all I could learn there is the same deFO
lation across all that portion of the state north
of Ocala. In the Tampa region it is not so
had. Many groves have escaped with only the
small branches killed. The trunks and larger
1 -mbs will put out again. Wo watched my
daughter’s grove (she has one tree) with anx¬
ious interest. It was quite a large one that
she purchased last fall and had transplanted to
her front yard. It had over a thousand or
angf s on it but of course the top had to lie til
cut off ami only the trunk end the stumps of
four branches were left. Since the last fre Z)
that tree has put out numerous tiny shoots aud
bids fair to clothe itself with evergreen before
tho summer has parsed.
When we reached Jacksonville we were
ushered into tho beautiful and spacious do
pot that is now finish’d and complete in
all its departments. Wo had four hours
there and were entertained in studying tho

“Is this your ch Id?” sho said. “No,” add

We are going buck to our home in Michigan.
My po< r daughter had pneumonia and the
doctor said she must go to Florida, but another
bitter spell came on tho wav and she died soon
after wo reached Oz ma.” What a sad journey
was thou s. Soon tho porter called to make up
tli" berths, and while he was at it my wife told
Inin to place her \ iilow toward! the locomo¬
tive. “What for?” said I. “I alwavs sleep the
other way.” “I do not,” she said very em¬
phatically. “They carry the dead to the r
graves feet foremost, and I om supersti¬
tious, you know.” I surrendered, of course—

sho wan asleep, and our sleeper was run round
on a Y and reversed and away wc sped feet
foremost towards Tifton. After awhile she
awakened and pushed aside tho curtain to see
the moon that was shining brightly. It had
got over on the othir side and the trees and
telegraph Sho poles were all going th:t wrong way.
dured was it for perplexed and wondered. She she en¬

“We are not backing, we turned around on the
Y nt Waycross.” “Wo 1 , I declare I never was
so troubled in all mv life.” .ihe laid down sat¬
isfied and never changed her pillows to the
other end. fori told her I reckoned we would
turn again at 'Tifton. We came through with¬
out a bauble and were received at the depot
by children and grandchildren and friends.
Tho weather is wet, but not. cold. Tho differ¬
ence is in the muddy ground we have to walk
ida upon—tho wet shoes and damp fee*. In Flor¬
the walking iR good all tho time, for the
rain sinks down in the sand and the surface
dries in a few minu'es. It is like w.ilking on a
velvet carpet—neither man nor beast nor wheel
makes any nois *. A robber could stop up be¬
hind and sandbag you and tffko your money
before you knew it. “Laddie,” our faithful
dog, was not at homo whtn we got
there, but he came soon after nnd

fire in the grate. Once more We aro in our ac*

the garden and foo the qtecples of the churches.
Home is tho best place in the wido world and
tho older we grow the better it is. My wife
went with her to the piano old-fashioned last night and surprised such us
sweet songs, as
“Homo, Rweot Home,” “How i ear to Mv
Heart Are the Beenes of My Childhood,”
“When You and I Wero Young. Maggie,”
“Flow Gently, Sweet Afton” and “Sweet Vale
of Avocft ” 1 hero aro yet no gongs sweeper
than these to my old-fashioned ears. New
songs like new novels come and go and pass
away but t he old ones hi ill linger in our
memories. Old prose and old po try is the
l o,t, but this generation does not read it. Tho
classics are almost unknown, but “Trilby” is
the great sensation. “Trilby,” a story improbable that is
beautifully written, lmt is utterly
and impossible and has both a social aud re*
ligious immorality.
FRED DOUGLASS’ WILL.
The Document Filed With tho Reg¬
ister iu Washington.
The will of the late Frederick Dou¬
glass was tiled with the register of
wills at Washington Friday in answer
to the petition previously filed by Ro¬
setta Sprague, daughter of tho de¬
ceased, to require the widow aud Lewiu
H. Douglass, one of the sons, to dis¬
close the exlent of the estate. Tho
will is a brief document of two type¬
written pages and is dated August 20,
188(5. To his wife he leaves the estate
situated near Washington, with all of
its furnishings, and also bequeaths her
his writings, books, pictures, paint¬
ings, horses, carriages, etc. Ten
thousand dollars in United States
bonds aud 810.900 in money is given to
his daughter, Rosetta Sprague, and to
his sous, Lewin, Frederick and Charles
Douglass, the remainder of his prop¬
erty, each to receive nu equal share,

Tlie Seaboard Announces a Sid Cut to

The Seaboard Air Line has announced
that a 810 cut iu the first-class passen¬

The Value of Prayer*
The value of prayer not often is
fixed in dollars ard cents, but a Texas
farmer is credited with such an opera¬
tion. The story is told by Rev. B. H.
Thrall, one of the pioneers of Metho¬
dism in Texas. In company with a
number of itinerants who were on
their way to conference, Dr. Thrall
stopped to spend the night with an old
farmer. It was the custom then to
settle the bill at night, so that they
might rise at 3 o’clock and ride a good
way before breakfast, and lie by m the
heat of the day. Dr. Thrall acting as
spokesman of the party, said to the
old farmer after supper:
“We are a company of Methodist
preachers going to conference. If you
will get the fami'y together we will
have prayers with you.”
After prayers one by one settled his
bill. Dr. Thrall’s turn came, and he
asked for his. bill. Tho old farmer re¬
plied :
“Well, pa’son, I charged the rest 25
cents, but bein’ ns you prayed for us
so good, I won’t charge you but 20
cents.”
The brethren had the laugh on Dr.
Thrall .—Epworth Era,
The Age for Marrying.
“If things keep on this way wo won’t
have any grandfathers and grandmoth¬
ers in fifty years,"'observed a man who
had been running his eyes along the
list of “marriage licenses.”
“Look here, in this list of thirty-four
licenses all but two of tho men are more
than 22 years old, and all but two of
the woman aro above 18. It would
seem that tbe average ngo of a groom
these days is 30, while the bride is but
two or three ycors younger.
He ran over the ages and found that
the average age of tho groom was 28
and of the bride 27.'
“Now, what does that mean?” he
continued. “A man does not marry
until he is 30. If he has sons and
daughters they will not reach the mar¬
rying age' until he is at least 09, and if
he hopes to see his grandchildren grow
up he must live to be at least 80 or 90.
“In the country where I was born
people married young, nnd it wasn’t
uncommon to have grandmothers who
were less than 40 years old. But if 30
is to be the marrying ago in Chicago
we will at least have to get along with¬
out great-grandfathers.” — Chicago

Don’t Write on Beceh Trees.
A novel pieco of evidence was intro¬
duced recently in a breach of promise
case in Bavaria. The defendant ob¬
stinately denied the charge, and stated
that his accuser had nothing to show
to prove her statement. The latter, a
buxom village maiden, asked one day
to be permitted to bring in her evi¬
dence. Tho court granted her request,
and adjourned until 10 o’clock the
next day. At the appointed time she
was on hand, and upon the query of
the judge where her evidence was, she
opened the door and four lumbermon
brought in a tree trunk, upon the bark
of which her faithless adorer hnd in¬
cised both their initials with a flaming
heart! Hhc won her case. — Troy

A YOUNG GIRL’S TRIALS.
’NERVOUS TROUBLES END IN ST.
VITUS* DANCE.
Physicians Powerless—The Story Told by
the Child's Mother.
( From, the Reporter, Somerset, Ky.}
Among the foot hills of the Cumberland
Mountains, near the town of Flat Book, is
tho happy home of James McPhorron. Four
months ago the daughter of the family, a
happy girl of slxtoen, was stricken with St.
Vitus’ dance. The leading physicians were
consulted, but without avail. She grew pale
and thin under the terrible nervous strain
and was fast losing her mental powers. In
fact the thought of placing her in an asylum
was seriously considered. Her case has been
so widely takod about that the report of her
cure was like modernizing a miracle of old.
To a reporter who visited tho home the
mother said:
“Yes, the reports of my daughter’s sickness
and cure are true as you hear them. Her af¬
fliction grew into St. Vitus’ dance from an
aggravated form of weakness and nervous
trouble peculiar to her sex. Every source of
help was followed to tho end, blit it seemed
that physicians and medicine were power¬
less. Day by day she grew worse until we
despaired of her life. At times she almost
went into convulsions. She got so that we
had to watch her to'keep her from wander¬
ing away, and you can imagine the care she
was.
“About this time, when our misery was
greatest and all hope had fled, I read of
another case, almost similar, that had been
cured by a medicine known as Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills. Almost in desperation I secured
some wonderful of the work pills and from that commenced; day on the
of restoration
tin* nervousness left, her cheeks grew bright
with the color of health, she gained flesh aud
grew until to-day strong she both mentally the and physically of good
is very picture
• health and happiness.
“It is no wonder that I speak in glowing
terms of Pink Pills to every ailing person I
meet. They saved my daughter’s life and I
am grateful.’’
The foregoing is but one of many wonder¬
ful cures that have been credited to Dr. Will¬
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People. In many
cases the reported cures have been investi¬
gate! by the leading newspapers and veri¬
fied in every possible manner. Their fame
has spread to the far ends of civilization and
there is hardly a drug store in this country
or abroad where they cannot be found.
*Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
are now given to the public as an unfailing
blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all
forms of weakness arising from a watery
condition of the blood or shattered nerves.
The pills are paid s dd by all dealers, or will be

Children’s Bights.
If a child has any sensibility, scold¬
ing either kills it or makes it vicious.
Children have rights which ought to be
respected as much as with their elders.
They can reason as well as older and
wiser heads. They are as quick to see
an injustice and know as well as any
one else when parents are making fools
of themselves. The household of a
noted dramatist in New York is said
to be a democracy, Tho voice of tho
youngest child in it is as potent as that
of a parent.
This is a rare incident of the recog¬
nition of children’s rights, and while
it might not prove successful if gener¬
ally applied, owing to parental inca¬
pacity, who can say that it is not a
plan of wisdom and one that -u many
cases might work wondcra of domestic
harmony? While oftentimes children
have been ruined by indulgence, they
have frequently been spoiled with
“discipline.”
Children were never designed for
nonenities, a fact in proof of which
the omnipresent small boy stands out
with monumental prominence. While
children can be allowed to become a
nuisance by the laxity of parents, they
can, on the other hand, be oppressed
until they become atrophied in mind
and heart and soul .—Albany Journal.
