The readers of this paper will be pleas
el to learn that there is at least one dread
ed disease that science has been able to
cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease, re-
Sires a constitutional treatment. Hall’s
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of tbe system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the cons
titution and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they offer
One Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fells to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Pitt’s Carmiaative is pleasant to the
taste, sets promptly, and never foils to
give satisfaction. It carries children over
the critical time of teething, and is the
friend of anxious mothers and puny
children. A few doses will demonstrate
its value. E. H. Dorsey, Athens, Ga.,
writes: “I consider it the best medicine I
have ever used in my family. It does all
you claim for it, and even more.”

Better for Both Bmm.
Thsrs Is a demand for Isbotere in
ibe west. The sooth, particularly tbe
southern cities, could supply this de
maud without suffering from a dearth
of laborers. It would be a good thing
for both the whites and the blacks of
the touth if a big minor’.ly of the
blanks of southern cilies were to emi
grate to some other section of the
country, Indec'l. w»- ar* inclined to
think that ii e mral districts of the
south wuuiJ.be much better off with
(ewer blacks As the blacks moved
ont white people would move in sod
take their places. Tbe whites, perhaps
would not be any better laborers than
the blacks, but they would take op tbe
land, open up farms and build homes
for tbsmselves, and that tbe blacks do
not seem inclined to do.
Tbe blacks, as a general thing, are
satisfied if they can in any way get
enough to eat ard sufficient clothes to
cover tpeir nakedness. Some younger
ones of them are ambitious to sppear
wall dressed, and not a few of them
manage to get good clothes at tbe ex
pense of their stomachs. There are
hundreds and thousands of them in
the large southern towns who seldom
do a day’s work. They don’t want to
work.; Besides, the labor market is
over supplied with them. They live
on tbeir wives, or sweethearts, or their
women friends, who happen to have
good places its cooks. The food is
passed out them through the basement
windows or at the back gates It is no
mystery how they live. II it were not
for them white people of tbe cities who
have comfortable homes, would find
the expense of living much lja». We
have no fault to find with industrious
blacks. They are good laborers, both
in tbe country and io tbe city. But
there are too many of them for what
there is to be done. Too many of them
sre drones. And tbe unfortunate part
of it is that tbe white people have not
only to support tbe idlers in indirect
ways pointed out, but also to furnish
tbe money to support negro schools.
Tbe negroes therefore,, drag down a
community instead of helping to build
it up
If they had energy and enterprise
they would improve tbeir material
condition, but they seem to be almost
wholly witbout ambition. Ia this
county there are thousands of lores
awaiting cultivation, and tbers is a
splendid market for many things
which could be produced on little
farms. About all tbe butter, eggs and
chickens and the beef and pork con
sumed here ere brought from distant
points. Wby should not these things
be produced near Savannah? It would
be a happy day for the South if some
of her surplus black population were
to respond to the Western demand for
labor. A burden would be lifted off
the South and tbe Wpst would be
benefltted.—Savannah News.

The Kind You Have Always Bought
Bears the
Signature of
THE NAMING OF JOHN BULL.
Dr. Arbuthnot Was the Man Who
Thus Dnbbed Great Britain.
Dr. John Arbuthnot, one of the many
royal physicians to whom the Scotch
city of Aberdeen has given birth, was
the author of John Bull’s being. Al
most forgotten now by all but the
erudite, who remember him as the inti
mate of Pope and Swift, Arbuthnot
christened the British nation in bulk as
John Bull in the political strife inci
dental to the dismissal of the Whig
ministry of 1710, when the able and
avaricious Marlborough saw the begin
ning of the decline of his brilliant for
tunes.
“The History of John Bull’’was a
satire on the political events preceding
the treaty Utrecht in 1713, written
by Arbuthnot In 1704 he had been cre
ated physician extraordinary to the
queen in recognition of his services in
saving the life of Anne’s husband,
Prince George of Denmark He had be
come the queen’s medical attendant a
position of no mean importance ata
time when so much depended on the
succession to the crown, and he was
closely In touch with court life.
“For the better understanding of the
following history the reader ought to
know that Bull in the main was an
honest plain dealing fellow, choleric,
bold and of a very inconstant temper.
He dreaded not old Lewis, either at
backsword, single falchion or cudgel
play, but then he was very apt to quar
rel with his best friends, especially if
they pretended to govern him. If you
flattered him, you might lead him like
• child. John’s temper depended very
much on the air; his spirits rose end fell
With his weather glass.
“John was quick and understood his
business very well, but no man alive
was more careless in looking into his
accounts or more cheated by partners. ’*
