He was a short, thickset man. with a clear and piercing eye, his face shaved . smooth, with not the suggestion of a ! wrinkle; yet his hair was as white as ! enow. He had a slight southern accent, and his hearty manner of inviting the visitors in and his cordial hospitality were wholly southern. One of the visit ors knew him and had told the other that there was a man with a bona fide skeleton in his closet and that the skele ton had a story. It. did not require any peisuasion to obtain a glimpse of the skeleton. The owner presently led the way to an outhouse, and, opening the door, displayed the skeleton of a man, badly fastened together and hanging i to ti e wall by the neck. The Missourian did not. object to telling the story. “That fellow,’’ he said, motioning with his thumb to the skeleton, “was once an acquaintance of mine, and 1 liked him so well’’ this with a laugh— “that I have kept him by me ever since, ci that I can come out and stir him up whenever 1 feel disposed,” and he gave Die skeleton a dig in the ribs. , “It was this way,” he continued, closing the door on his acquaintance. “During the war I lived in one of the s< uthern states, where 1 was about the only northern man. They took nearly everything that I had as time went on, killed my stock, killed some of my peo ple and finally announced that they were going to kill me. Nearly all the country was terrorized at that time by i a good for nothing chap whom wu will > call Jim Conner; that was not his name. , but it will do—one name is as good as another now. “When the war broke out, be started in as a sort of independent guerrilla and began a system of looting and killing. 1 knew him well, and he sent me word that he was coming my way and was going to burn my house and hang me to a tree in the yard. 1 sent word i back that I was ready for him.

Washington Ft ar THE CAUSE OF DYSPEPSIA. Loss of Vitality Known to be ths Parent of this Dread Disease—The Method of Cure that Has Proved Most Successful. yy<mi the JiepubUean, Scranton, Penna. The most common of all human ailments j is deranged digestion: the most disease, inherited by man, dyspepsia. In-j sldious in its nature, varied in its forms it tortures its victims, baffles the skill of phy sicians and the power of medicine. The primary cause of dy.pepsia is lack of vitality; the absence of nerve force; the loss of the life-sustaining elements of the blood. It is a truism that no organ can properly perform its function when the source of nutriment fails; when it is weakened on one I hand and over-taxed on the other. When the stomach is robbed of the nourishment demanded by nature,assimilation ceasesun ; natural gases are generated, the entire sys ! tern responds to the discord. A practical illustration of the symptoms i and torture of dyspepsia is furnished Ly the ' case of Joseph T. Vandyke, 4-10 Hickory St., Scranton. I’a. In telling his story Mr. Vandyke says: "Five years ago, I was afflicted with a trouble of the stomach, which was very aggravating. I bad no appetite, could not enjoy myself at any time, and especially was the trouble severe when I awoke in the morning. I did not know what the ailment was, but it became steadily worse and I was in constant misery. “I called in my family physician, and he diagnosed the case as catarrh of the stomach. He prescribed for me and I had his prescrip tion filled. I took nearly all of the medi cine, but still the trouble became worse, and I felt that my condition was hopeless. My friends recommended various proprie tary remedies, some of them among the best: TXT’m’ A YOU WANT It matters not W: it— prayers, VV JIIiJLjL JL pumps, farm and factory machinery, canning ma r _chinery, nursery stock, evaporators, farm and garden implements, wire fencing, market quotations, fruit carriers, books, fancy stock and poultry, insecticides, farm lands, any information, farm and garden inventions, household articles—anything.

After I had been ; suffering several mouths, and had secured no relief from any of the many remedies which I had taken, a friend of mine, by the name of Thomas Campbell, also a resident of this city, urged me to try I>r. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. I told him if would be a useless waste of money to buy them, as I was convinced that nothing could do me any good. “I was finally persuaded to buy a box and began to use the pills according to directions. Before I had taken the second box I began to feel relieved, and after taking a few more boxes I considered myself re stored to health. The pills gave me new life, strength, ambition and happiness.” An unfailing specific is found in Dr. Wil liams’ Pink Pills for Pale People for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheuma tism, nervous headache, the after effect of la rnippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, that tired feeling result ing from nervous prostration, all diseases re sulting from vitiated humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They are also a specific for troubles peculiar to females, such as suppressions, irregularities and all forms of weakness. In men they effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worrv, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. These pills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm’s’trade-mark and wrapper at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and are never sold in bulk. They may be had of all druggists. LAND POOR. A Schema to Give Evary Man a Farm, by a Person Who is Land Poor. Mn. Ejmtok ; Some years ago I took an idea that land was the safest investment that a man could make in Georgia, and as a consequence, I am now land poor; have more than I can profitably make use of, and consequently want to get rid of some, or all of it, and I have decided to adopt the following measure to get rid of it: I will say,in the first place, that the land is the best in Monroe county, is fine ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best tor cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains in the county. There are a number of tenant houses on the place, and a home recently built that cost me over $3,000 to build. The land, in the first place, cost me from $25 down to $-1 per acre—saying altogether, about $lO per acre, without improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will average the whole place at $lO per acre, in the. following way : I will have the entire place, 1,000 acres, sub-divided into 50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and less than 50 to another, according to his ability to pay for it, as the case may be, the entire quantity tob ■ drawn for. In other words, the number of lots and quantity of land to be put in a hat or box, and drawn out under approval of a com mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time, so that all shall have a fur chance to get a home at a low price, and no one has a chance of losing their m mey, or failing to get their value, as paid, and some get a farm at far less than cost The land is 12 miles fr nn Macon, a city of some 50,000 or 00,000 people, and is adapted to maiket gardening, and for northern people who know how to work, it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of energetic citizens. It is all together, and would make a fine settlement, having the best of pastures, water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is ■ pine, and some cedar ; in fact, it is the best place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed itor of the Call will vouch for what I say. I would be glad to have any parties who mean business, to go over the plantation, familiarize themselves with the advan tages, and communicate with me at Barnesville, before going into the matter, assuring them that I mean what I say. In addition to the terms offered above, I have concluded to make the terms of pay ment in four annual payments without interest, which is tantamount to putting the pt ice of the land very low. The titles to the land have been in the posses sion of one or two parties for years, and have never been questioned and arc as good as gold. I am not particularly wedded to this plan of getting rid of my lands, but only suggest the idea—any better plan would bNtha nk fu 11 y subst it u t ed. S. B. BURR, Sr, Barnesville, Gn.
