THE CORRESPONDENT.
Roberta, ga m Friday, march 23 , i8S4.
Mr. John D. Shockley, represent¬
ing the Planters and People’s Mu¬
tual Fire Association, of Georgia, is
in our town organizing home insur¬
ance in case of fire, storm, or light¬
ning. It is worthy of the consider¬
ation of every citizen in the county
who owr.s property. The association
is highly endorsed. It costs only
one-fifth of what is required by the
capital companies. Officers are elec¬
ted iu your own county when the
required amount of insurance is re¬
ceived, which, when explained to
you bv Mr. §liockles, will be as clear
as the nose on youy face.

It is frequently the case that
thinking borders on the right
line and expressions will out that
are inconsistent. This seems to
be the bewildered shape of'the
Journal.
Atkinson is conversant with the
affairs of the state, and well
qualified, in every way for the
position to which he aspires.
This aspiration should not, to put
it very mildly, cause him to be
subjected to Condemnation at the
hands of Gen. Evans’ followers.
Lower Georgia favors the Hon.
H. G. Turner for United States
senator, lie is a good man,and

Says t.AnniE E. Stock weia, of Chester

perspiration would
stand in drops on

several days after. 1 was quite pros¬
trates! and s. •re. Sometimes the attacks
were almost daily, then 'ess frequent. After
about four years of this suffering, I was
taken down with bihons typhoid fever, and
when I began to recover, I had the worst
attack of my old trouble I ever experienced.
At the first of the fever, my mother gave
me Ayer’s Pi!h my doctor recommending
them 33 being better than anything he
could prepare. I continued taking these
t ils, and co great was tho benefit derived
that during nearly thirty years I have had
but one attack of my former trouble, which
yielded readily t .> the same remedy.”

COMMON SENSE
This invaluable quality is never
more apparent in man or woman
than when shown in Ins or her
choice of periodical reading mat¬
ter. First in order should come
the local newspaper so that pace
may bekept with the doings of
the busy world. It should be a
paper like The Correspondent
which gives all the latest home
news as well as all the general
news, political news and market
news, with seasonable editorials
on current local topics. No one
can get along with his home pa¬
per. The newspaper should be
supplemented. from* by some period
ici e which will be
derived amusement and instruc¬
tion during the evenings at home
where every article is read .and
digested. Such a paper to fill
every requirement should possess
these qualities.
First—It should be a clean, whole
some paper that can safely be ta¬
ken into the family. It should
be illustrated with timely engrav
ings.
Second—A paper that is enter
taining and instructive while of
sound principles. Its moral tone
should be beyond question. '
Third—A helpful paper, one
tells the housewile of home life,
thoughts and experiences, and
keeps her in touch with social
usage and fashion.
Fourth—A paper abounding in
orl £ inal character sketches,
sayings, unctuous humor and
brilliant, wit.
Fifth—It should conta n good
ries and pleasing matter for
young always people, . that . the . children , ,
may regard the paper as a
friend.
Sixth—Literary selections and
stories suitable for older people
should be given, for, they too,
t0 etl .i°. v a leisure _ hour.
short, it should be a
good all-round family journal, a
weekly visitor which shali bring
refreshmentabd -pleasure toev ery
member of the Household.
We offe to supply our readers
with just such a paper ; ^ one of
national reputation and circula¬
tion. It is the famous
