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. Address, F. J.

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.” ' • - .. j ’ 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. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. 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. ’* -New York Herald.
