Town Boys and Country Boys. (
Every close observer has noted the
tendency of young people raised on the
farms to flock to the cities, and learned
philosophers, armed with intellectual
micro«copeir'ha’9^«* ou i^ ll diligently
foriheeauee of ibis migration. To
any one who has lived among farmers
of high and low degree the reason is as
apparent as the nose on his face. To
an ambitious young man with the
world before him farm life is slow and
semi-isolated, and farm folks do not
appear to be well informed and up-to
date like townspeople He would lake
to mingle with the live,, bright men
and women he sees in the city and “be
somebody/’ He wants to get out ol
the week life of the farm and into the
everyday life of the city ; out of the
furrow and into the sidewalk , out of
stogies and into ausset gaiters.
In the cities the young people di
vide the year into school days and va
cation. In the country they divide it
Into school days and work days. The
city naan reads his morning and even
ing papers, and the young people learn
what has occurred all over the . world
during the last six hours. The farmer
reads has weekly and hia young people
learn what happened last week. The
city naan has lire latest general news
and the latest information respecting
his business or profession delivered to
him not lees than twice each day, and
this makes him alert, quick and decis
ive. He looks bright and thoroughly
informed, and be is; and so are his
chaldreu. And spirited young country
children aspire to bo like them. Can
we blame them?—Rome Tribune.
Marbury on the Weather.
. The present weather is the most
sultry and oppressive for this time of
the year that has been recorded by the
weather bureau io many years, so
Forecaster Marbury ol Atlanta says.
Mr. Matbury cannot find in his past
reoorda r. time when it was quite as
warm and humid at this 'time of the
year as it is now.
The atmospheric conditions continue
in a most unsettled state over the en
tire map, except in the extreme north
west. The pressure is now highest in
Florida and along the immediate At
lantic coast and lowest in the west.
These conditions are favorable for
continued warm weather, with more
or less rain in this section during the
next 36 hours.

Eat Plenty of Lemon*.
An experienced and highly respected
physician gave a valuable nint the other
day, which all may find valuable. “I am
convinced," said he, “not only from prac
tical personal experience, but on the theo
retically sclentinc grounds also, that a
safeguard against much prevalent summer
illneaa lies in the free use of lemon Juice.’
—Athens Banner-Watchman.
MOZLEY’S LEMON ELIXIR.;
A PLEASANT LEMON DRINK. |
Cures indigestion, headache, malaria,
kidney disease, fever, chills, loss of appe
tite, debility, nervous prostration and
heart failure, by regulating the Liver,
Stomach, Bowels, Kidneys and Blood.
Lemon Elixir is prepared from the
fresh Juice of lemons, combined with other
vegetable liver tonics, carthartics, aromatic
stimulants and blood purifiers.
W. A. Jamrs, Bell Station, Ala., writes:
I have suffered greatly from indigestion or
dyspepsia. One bottle of Lemon Elixir
done me more good than 'all the medicine
I ever taken.
A CARD.
For nervous and sick headaches, indi
gestion, biliousness and constipation (from
which I have been a great sufferer),! have
never found a medicine that would give
such a pleasant, prompt and permanent
relief as Dr. H. Mozley’s Lemon Elixir. I
have used it in my family for years—it
has never failed in a single case.

Simple Subtraction.
An Irishman was hauling water in
barrels from a small river to supply
the inhabitants of the village, which
i was not provided with waterworks,
; says Tit Bite. As be halted at the top
i of the bank to give a “biow” before
I proceeding to peddle the water, a gen-
• tiemao of the inquisitive type rode up,
r and after passing the time of the day,
i asked:
r "How long have you been hauling
i water for the village, my good man? ’
“Tin years or more, sor,” was the re
ply.
“Ah! And how many loads do you
make a day?”
“From tin to fifteen, accordin’to the
' weather, sor.”
* “Yea. Now, I have one for you,
• Pat,” said the gentleman, laughing,
I “How much water have you hauled al
’ together?”
’ The Irishman jerked his thumb in
the direction of the river, at the same
5 time giving his team the bint to start,
* and replied:
“All the water that yez don’t see
1 there now, sor.”
Blood Poison Cured-
r There is no doubt, according to the
many remarkable cures performed by
B Botanic Blood Balm (“B. B. B.”) that it is
b far the best Tonic'and Blood Purifier ever
manufactured. All others pale into insig
nificance, when compared with it. It cures
pimples, ulcers, skin diseases, and all man
ner of blood and skin ailments. Buy the
best, and don’t throw your money away
on substitutes. Try the long tested and
1 old reliable B. B. B. $1 per large bottle.

A BAD CASE CURED.
Three years ago I contracted a blood
a poison. I applied to a physician at once,
and his treatment came near killing me.
r I employed an old physician and then
s went to Kentucky. I then went to Hot
Springs and remained two months. Noth
ing seemed to cure me permanently, al
-1 though temporary relief was given me. I
returned home a ruined man physically,
with but little prospect of ever getting w ell
I was persuaded to try Botanic Blood
1 Balm (B. B. B.) and to my utter astonish
ment it quickly healed every ulcer.
