yet been released.
Tales of suffering, hunger and die
honor come from the provinces.
Young Spanish girls are forced to live
in open shame with low born Indians.
Their parents, being powerless, ap

In Clden Times
People overlooked the importance of per
manently beneficial effects and were satis
fied with transient action; but now that it
is generally known that Syrup of Figs will
permanently overcome habitual constipa
tion, well-informed people will not buy
other laxatives, which act for a time, but
finally injure the system. Buy the genu
ine, made by the California Fig Syrup Co.
Pitts’ Carminative is pleasant to the
taste, acts promptly, and never fails 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 con
sider it the best medicine I have ever used
in my family. It does all you claim for it
and even more.”

Governor Taylor’s Valedictory.
Bob Toylor is nothing if not orig
inal, as the following extracts from
his speech just before the inauguration
of his successor, as governor of Ten
nessee, shows:
‘Mr. Speaker, Lsdies and Gentle
men : I am about to shuffle off this
mortal coil of politics and fly away to
the heaven of my native mountains,
where I may think and dream in
peste, safe from the sickening sting of
unjust criticism ; safe from the talons
ot some old political vulture; safe
from the elimy kies and t’ne keen dag
ger of ingratitude.
‘I do mean to say that all politi
cians are vultures or that they are al)
hypocrites or assassins ; for the great
majority of our public men are up
right and honest and worthy of the
confidence reposed in them by the
people ; yet there are black wings in
the political firmament, and reptiles
craw! and hiss in every capitol. But
thank God, the live thunders of eternal
truth always clear the atmosphere,
and the heel of justice will surely
bruise the serpent’s head.
“I do not retire from this office with
the rankling of disappointment and
chagrin within my bosom, but rather
as one who retires from labor to rest;
from war to peace; from trouble to
happiness.
“I do not retire, the somnambulist
of a shattered realm, but with all the
buds vs hope bursting into bloom and
all the bowers of the future ringing
with melody. lam contented with
my lot in life. Three times I have
worn the caurel wreath of honor, twin
ed by the people of my native state,
and that is glory enough Er me,”

“Sine Died.”
Not long since the notice “Court
adjourned sine die” was posted on the
doui of the supreme court in Brooklyn.
Some gentleman with an artistic and
highly trained sense of humor added a
“d” to the word “die,” and went on his
way rejoicing. Next day a person who
makes a practice of haunting the pub
lic buildings in Brooklyn and professes
acquaintance with every well known
man in the vicinity, dropped into the
clerk’s office.
“See here.” he said, “when did Sine
pass in Ins checks?”
“What’s that?” demanded the as
tonished clerk
“When did Sine die? I see the courts
are closed on account of it.”
‘ Ob,” said the clerk, pulling himself
together, “he died yesterday. Did you
know him?”
“Know him? I should say I did.
Knew his father before him. Too bad,
ain’t i' ?”
And Sine’s bereaved friend passed
out with his burden of sorrow.— From

STILL ANOTHER COURTMARTIAL
Thia Time it it General Miles Who
Will be Tried.
Washington, January 30. The
president has under consideration a
courtmartial for Major General Miles.
How far the preparations to that end
have gone it is impossible to say, but
it comes from the highest authority
that a courtmartial is imminent. This
is to be based on the general 1 !. charges
in the matter of the beef fn. niched lhe
army and upon certain other matters
for which he will be strongly criticised
in the report of the war investigation
committee to be handed to the pres
ident within the next few days. It
has been evident throughout the
hearings that the committee was
bringing out a good deal of tes
timony against General Miles, and a
report showing blame on him for the
selection of bad camps, for uncalled
tor statements about the bee: furnish
ed the army, and for other sins of com
mission and of omission, is confident
ly expected.
It comes from high officials of the
war department tba‘. the determina
tionhas been reached to order a court
martial of the major general command
ing the army, if the commission’s re
port furnishes the ground for a court
martial, and they believe it will.
Yellow Jaundice Cured.
Suffering humanity should be sup
plied with every means possible for its
relief. It is with pleasure we publish
the following : "This is to certify that
I was a terrible sufferer from Yellow
Jaundice for over six months, and was
treated by some of the best physicians
in our city and all to no avail. Dr.
Bell, our druggist, recommended
Electric Bitters; and after taking two
bottles, I was entirely cured. I now
take pleasurer in recommending them
to any person suffering from this ter
rible malady. I am gratefully yours,

A Pair of Revelations.
The Kansas City Journal telis a
story of a Kansas man who believes
that God sends revelations to true
Christians. Not long ago he had a
revelation in which he was informed
that one of his church brothers had
stolen his harness. Meeting in the
road, be proceeded to divulge the na
ture of the revelation and to demand
restitution. Immediately lhe brother
went into a trance, from which ho came
presently with the statement that be
bad consulted the angel of the Lord
and had been informed that it was hie
duty to smite his accuser hip and
tbigb, whereupon he began to belabor
the first brother, who stood still and
took his whipping with uncomplain
ing humility, after which the pair said
in unison: “Let God be praised!”
and then went their several ways.
But, up to last accounts, lhe hiding
place of that missing harness had not
been divulged.
Deafness Gannet be C erect
By local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition ot the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh

CHARLES STEVy ART PARNELL
How the Great Irlah Lender Came to
Enter Politics.
Charles Stewart Parnell was 28 years
old before he made his entry into the
political arena. How the step was taken
is thus described by Mr. R. Barry
O'Brien in his I f , -iphy of the great
Irish leader
"One night during the general elec .
tion of 1874 Parnell dined with his sis- I
ter, Mrs. Dickit: .on. in Dublin. After
dinner Captain Dickinson said ‘Well.
Charles, why don't you go into parlia
ment? Why don t you stand for your
native county ?
"To the surp’l ■ f every one at the
tab]... Parnel! .. i < ticl.ly ‘I will
Whom ougk: ! . ■•••.•?
“ ‘Oh, ’ said Dickinson, ‘we will see
atKut that tomorrow. The great thing
is you have decided to stand.'
“‘I will see about it nt once, said
Parnell ‘I have made up my mind, and
I won’t wait. Whom ought Ito see?'
“ ‘I think Gray of The Freeman's
Journal. ’ said John, who was also pres
ent
“ ‘Very well, said Parnell, rising
from the table, ‘I shall go to him at
once. Do you come with me, John.'
"The two brothers then went away to
gether. It was now 11 o’clock, and they
found Gray at The Freeman’s office.
He was amazed when Parnell entered
and said. ‘I have come to say. Mr
Gray, that I mean to stand for Wick
low as a Home Ruler. ’ ”
It was only the year after that, on the
death of John Mitchel, Parnell was re
turned for Meath. At first it is plain
that Parnell had few if any followers.
The ability of the representative from
Meath was questioned Butt was then
the controlling power It was only in
1880 that Parnell became the leader
Broge*.
The chronicles of 1456 speak of 160
vessels in its basins and of German mer
chants carrying away over 2,000 pieces
of cloth to the distant lands of Russia
and Poland. It was the exchange of Eu
rope, possessing in the fourteenth cen
tury 52 guildsand 150,000 inhabitants,
more than three times as many as it
now contains. Among its wares we read
of leather from Spain, wool from Eng
land, silk from Italy and Persia, linen
and cloth from Brabant, hemp and flax
from Holland, wine from Portugal,
Greece and France and hardware from
Germany, which included every variety
of object in ivory, bone, wood, glass,
tin, copper, lead, iron, silver and gold.
It had its factories, its curriers, its dy
ers, and its taxation considerably ex
ceeded that of Ghent. But at the com
mencement of the fourteenth century its
troubles began—troubles from within
and from without.
The Suene was rendered useless by
the invasion of sand as far as Sluis
(Ecluse), treachery, slaughter and po
litical jealousies and rivalries completed
the fall, and in 1544 its inhabitants had
diminished to 7,696. Then came the re
ligiouswars and persecutions from 1567
to 1584, the fanatics and the Gueux de
stroying what remained, leaving little
for the French revolutionists.—Good
Words.
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also

all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dust de
positor strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing steppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may run
into Bright's Disease, the most dangerous
stage of Kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such diseases. Its reputation is world
wide and it is so easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention The Middle
Georgia Farmer, and write to Dr. Kil
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y'.. f.r a
