Nothing can be fair. r. more phil
anthropic or carry more joy to the af
flicted, than the offer of T. A. Slocum,
M. C., of 183 Pearl street, New Yoak
City.
Confident that he has discovered
an absolute cure for consumption and
all pulmonary complaints, and to meke
its great merits known, he will eend
free, three bottles of medicine, to any
reader of Tiik Jackson Herald who
is suffering from chest, bronchial,
throat and lung troubles or consump
tion.
Already this “new scientific course
of medicine’’ has permanently cured
thousands of apparently hopeless
cases.
The Doctor considers it his relig
ious duty—a duty which he owes to
humanity—to denote his infalliable
cure.
Offered freely, is enough to com
mend it, and more so is the perfect
confidence of the great chemist mak
ing the proposition.
He has proved the dreaded con
sumption to baa curable disease be
yond any doubt.
There will be no mistake in sending
—the mistake will be in overlooking
the generous invitation. He has on
file in his American and European
laboratories testimonials of experience
from those cured, in all parts of the
world.
Don’t delay until it is too late. Ad

“REFUSED.”
One day a fellow married, and we wrote a no
tice neat,
We said “the groom was handsome, and the
bride was lovely sweet;”
We advertised the baby and we said his dad
was proud,
And when the Reaper took him, and sorrow,
like a cloud,
Hung over him, we tendered our sympathy sin
cere,
And sent the paper to him each Thursday tor a
year;
We B|oke of all his fortunes and misfortunes
that befell,
We wept when he was weeping, and we
laughed with him as well;
We took him on a credit—he took the paper
so—
’Twas but a little matter—he’d recollect lt
soon—
He never paid for three years—we kindly let lt
go-
We sent lt through December, and we sent lt
on through June;
At last we needed money and we gently hinted
that
A wheel or two would help us to buy a winter
hat;
He took the hint—unkindly, and said he was
abased,
He swore and sent his paper back, and had lt
marked “Refused ”
So here’s a toast to such a man,.a benediction
breathe,
“And may he never lack a fire and never freeze
to death ”—W. B. L, in Athens Banner.
An Up-to-Date Fable.
Once upon a time there was a
Young Man who was unable to go
upon the Stage, so he acted as waiter
in a hash house. Now this Yongue
Man was undoubtedly poorer than
he was dishonest, but he had the
nerve to seek in Marriage the hand
of the only daughter of a Bloated
Aristocrat. The latter, however, was
sore on the waiter, and put in all his
spare time collecting insults to heap
on his head, although the Daughter
was over shoetops in love with the
dashing plate juggler. One Bright
but Happy Day the youth was stand
ing in the doorway of the beanery in
which he waited for victims of the
eating habit to come along, when
suddenly a large cry of horror punc
tured the surrounding quietude, and
dashing toward him came a mad
dened steed, while with blanched
face the Blooded Aristocrat whose
daughter he loved sat powerless in
the fated vehicle. The poor, but
brave waiter saw his Opportunity
and grasped it right by the back of
the neck. Rushing to meet the mad
dened steed he shouted aloud as he
was wont to do when giving orders
to the cook and snatching the apron
from about his person, he Waved it
Frantically in the Air. The mad
dened animal then swerved from its
course and dashing the friendly ve
hicle against a lamp post flung the
Bloated Aristocrat out from therein
and broke hie proud neck. A proper
distance from the funeral the poor,
but triumphant waiter threw up his
job and married the only Daughter
of the Dead Aristocrat, and they are
now living comfortable off the life
insurance. Moral:—Pride often
gets it in the neck, but everything
comes to him who waits.—Chicago
News.
A Great Want.
The great want of this age is men
—men who are not for sale; who are
honest, sound from center to circum
ference, true to the heart’s core; men
who will condemn wrong in friend or
foe, in themselves as well as others;
men whose consciences are as steady
as the needle to the pole; men who
will stand for the right if the heav
ens totter and the earth reels; men
who can look the devil right in the
eye; men who neither biag nor run;
men who neither swagger nor flinch;
men who can have courage without
shouting to bring it; men in whom
the everlasting current of life runs
still and deep and strong; men who
know their duty and do it; men who
know their places and fill them; men
who will not lie; men who are not too
lazy to work nor too proud to be
poor; men who are willing to eat
what they have earned and to wear
what they have paid for.— Ex.
Somebody has organized a mov
ing literary and debating club, and
the said club perambulates the
streets very muchly these nights.
The editor ran a-foul of one of their
meetings tother night, and they ini
tiated him. This ceremony is per
formed in a very impressive manner
—at least that’s the way it struck us.
It takes three members, a shingle
and a barrel to do the initiatory act.
Two members hold the applicant
down across the barrel while the
third lifts the shiDgle off his back
just as rapidly as he can lift it for
twenty times, and the work’s done.
Next morning, out of respect for the
club, we took our breakfast standing
up.—Pickens Herald.
An exchange says: A white minis
ter at a colored wedding said: “On
such occasions as this it is customary
to kiss a bride, but in this case we
will omit it.” To this the indignant
bridegroom pertinently replied: “On
such occasions as this it is custo
mary to give the minister ten dol
lars, but in this case we will omit it.”
The following article was found
tacked on the door of a country news
paper: “The editor is out looking
after a delinquent subscriber; will be
in todreckly; knock the devil on tec
the editor’s chair and take a seat”
A Judge on Cigarette Smoking.
There is at least one judge on the
bench who does not believe in boys
smoking cigarettes. At St. Ixmis,
Mo , a few days ago, Judge Peabody
delivered a lecture from bench
on cigarette smoking, during the
trial of the case of William Bent,
charged with disturbing the peace in
having taken a cigarette from a boy
eleven years old. Judge Peabody
said:
“Our generation is becoming en
ervated and stunted from excessive
cigarette smoking. Boys are not
what they were in my time. They
did not then think it manly to poi
son themselves with vile nicotine,
and when they grew up they were
men in every sense of the term. Chil-
tender years should be re
strained from doing themselves such
harm. I believe that no cigarettes
should be sold to minors. There
fore, I think the defendant did a
good and justifiable act He is
legally responsible, however. I will
fine him $5, but will stay execution
on good behavior.”
We believe Judge Peabody is
quite right iu denouncing cigarette
smoking by young boys. What ever
defense may be made by the friends
of the cigarette, it cannot be denied
that they have caused a great many
boys to go to their death, to the in
sane asylum, or to lose their health.
The judge expreseed it right when
he said the boys became “enervated
and stunted from excessive cigarette
smoking.” The evil of cigarette
smoking has been recognized by the
Georgia legislature by passing a law
to prevent the tale or giving of cigar
ettes to minors, but, unfortunately,
this law is not enforced, and some
other remedy must be sought to
break up the harmful practice.—
Columbus Sun.
Plenty of Ways to be Fools.
One of our bright and newsy ex
changes says:
There are plenty of ways to be
fools. Our laws give wide range of
liberty here. The price of cucum
bers is too low for us to raise and
pickle them, yet we mortgage our
land to the northerners and eastern
ers who do raise them and pay
frieght on them to our doors. If we
raise a crop of tomatoes, they “don’t
sell for nothing,”yet months later we
buy them shipped from Maryland,
and then mortgage our land for the
money we paid. You don’t get paid
for your trouble in making and tak
ing care of butter, yet Georgia job
bers buy western butter by the ton
and the western farmers have paid
off nearly two-thirds of their mort-
gages within past three years. Hogs
are not worth keeping, yet we find
men mortgaging their mules, horses,
wagons and even unplanted cotton
to buy Yankee sow bosom at mort
gage prices. Oh, there is limit to
the kind of fools we may be, only it
costs like thunder to play the fool.
This is a funny, funny world that
we are living in. Eew people ever
leave this world alive. There are
people dying daily who never died
before in this land of liberty and
love. Bnt that has nothing particu
larly to do with some people who are
too mean to die, for instance the
chronic kicker. There are always
those who will kick. For instance,
if you publish jokes with whiskers
on them, some will 6ay you ought to
be in a lunatic joint. If you don’t
print something to smile at, they say
you are a pessimistic fossil. If you
spread yourself and write a good
original article, they will say it is
stolen. If you reprint an article,
they will say you can’t write. If
you say a deserving word for a man,
you are partial; if you compliment
the ladies, the men are jealous; and
if you don’t the verdict of the ladies
is to the effect that your paper is not
fit to make a bustle. If you stay in
your office, you are afraid to remain
on the streets; if you do, you are
lazy. If you look seedy you are
squandering your money; if you wear
good clothes, you are a dude and
don’t pay for them. If you play a
social game of any kind and get
stuck, you are a fish; if you win, you
are a tin horn, and so it goes through
one continual round of pleasant com
plications.”—Ex.
Lawyer Bohanan was pleading a
case before Justice Sampson’s court
at Abingdon, 111., the other day.
The justice interpolated a remark.
“That’s a falsehood,” said Bohanan.
“The court will stand adjourned for
a short recess,” said Justice Samp
son, who added, “Come outside, Bo
hanan, I’m going to whip you.” Bo
hanan went, and the justice was just
as good as his word. When the law
yer had washed the blood from his
nose the court was reconvened, and
the justice directed Bohanan to pro
ceed with his argument. He did
so, and made such an eloquent plea
that the justice who had just whipped
him decided the case in his favor.—

They Die Hard.
“That ad. is dead,” said the fore
man. “Throw it in.” But it waa
not dead. It could not die until the
last copy of the paper containing it
had been destroyed. Even then the
advertisement might be kept alive by
word of mouth. The advertiser who
lets all his contracts expire is wrong
if he imagines his advertisement has
ceased to “pull.” They may indeed
have failed to bring in business to
pay the gas bill, but they are far
from dead, says the Nnoxville Senti
nel.
Fourteen or fifteen years ago a
bright young man opened a book
store in Harlem. He put a small ad
vertisement in a magazine. To this
day he sometimes hears from that
advertisement, although he ran it
only a few times and has been out
of business since 1892. •
The Scranton (Pa.) Republican
tells of a medicine man who adver
tises to cure certain diseases. One
day a woman came to him for treat
ment, and got $l5O worth of it The
doctor asked her how she had heard
of him, and she said her husband,
when taking up an old carpet iu
Buffalo, had found beneath it an old
newspaper, in which he saw the doc
tor’s advertisement.
There is no telling how long an
advertisement will live.—Ex.
Little Things.
We are all born but once. Most
of us marry but once. We certainly
die but once. But if we look at life
as “a small bundle of things,” we
shall not think it worth while to
practice small courtesies. But if
we regard it, far more truty, as “a
big bundle of small things,” we shall
as certainly feel that few things in
life are better worth doing. It may
never be in our power to save any
body’s life, or make anybody a for
tune, send lustre upon the family
name, die for our country, or set the
smallest river on fire in any way
whatever, but if we conscientiously
give ourselves to the practicing of
small courtesies, only the recording
angel can ever set down the good
we shall do in our day and genera
tion to hundreds and thousands of
our fellow creatures in the course of
a lifetime. —Selected.
Interesting Women.
Sympathy is the key to a woman’s
interestingnese, as it is the key to all
that is helpful and beautiful in her
nature. The woman of quick sym
pathies, whether she wears specta
cles or looks into your soul with her
own earnest eyes; whether her hair
is banged or combed with Puritanic
smoothness; whether she has the
rounded beauty of the Greek, or the
angularity of the Yankee, she is al
ways interesting. But to know how
interesting she really is, you must
bring into her presence the interest
ing man—the man also of deep,quick
sympathies—and then note how
thought and fancy flash from soul to
soul as lightning leaps to and fro
from thought-burdened clouds.—

The editor riseth in the morning
and knoweth not what the day may
bring forth. If he telleth all the
news he runneth a great risk of hav
ing a tin ear put on him, and if he
telleth not the news the people say
he is n. g., and there is no joy in it.
The crafty man cajoleth him into
giving him aSO cent pnff for a 5
cent cigar, and all fond mothers
frown on him if he fails to flatter
their freckled face broods. .And all
his ways are ways of woe, and his
days are full c f sorrow. The insur
ance man setteth snares for him, and
on the whole he has a deuce of a
time.—Ex.
Do not let girls grow up in ignor
ance of household work. If they
thoroughly understand how things
are done in managing a house, they
will be well prepared for whatever
fortune has in store for them. The
girl who marries a poor man will
then be able to economize without
difficulty, and she who is to be rich
can then manage her large house and
numerous servants with success, by
knowing jnst how everything should
be done from the kitchen up.—Ex.
The editor of a Western paper gets
off the following trite bit of advice.
“Our motto is: “Lie, steal, drink
and swear.” When you lie, let it be
down to pleasant dreams; when you
steal, let it be away from immoral
companions; when you drink, let it
jbe pore cold water; when you swear,
swear that you will patronize your
home paper, pay your subscription
and not send your job work away
from home.
