THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1891. mm A new man can bo made, out of one that’s “used-up,” bilious and dyspeptic. It’s done by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It starts the torpid liver into healthful action, purifies and enriches the blood, cleanses, repairs, and strengthens the system, and restores health and vigor. As an appetizing, restora tive tonic, it sets at work nil the processes of digestion and nutri tion, and builds 4ir> flesh and strength. It’s the only Wood and Liver Remedy that’s guaranteed, in every case, to benefit or cure. If it doesn’t do all that’s claimed for it, the money is promptly refunded. But it keeps its promises — that’s the reason it can be sold in this way. “Discovery” strengthens Weak Lungs, and cures Spitting of Blood, Shortness of Breath, Brbnchitis, Severe Coughs, and kindred affec tions. Don’t be fooled into taking something else, said to be “just as good,” that the dealer may make a larger profit. There’s nothing at all like tho “ Discovery.” For sale by FLEETWOOD & RUSSELL, sole agents, Americus, Ga, 4-20-dswlm ABBOTT'S €> EAST/p|AN^Jf C pA'Ajt) CORf^S IJ^SPEEdilVA^ BUNIONS WARTS PAIN. 1 It PI-’AN liPOS DHUGSISf-S.

The manager of one of the largest jewelry stores in the city was speaking of some experiences ho hail ha<l with diamond thieves. Said he: Of course we are familiar with ‘Ae faces of a great many of the most expert thieves who pick up diamonds and jewelry while examining them under pretense of buying, but naturally our knowledge is limited, and great care is exercised when exposing precious stones. I keep all the loose diamonds in my pri vate office and attend to their sale my self, but this is rather a dangerous policy. Quite recently a man came in b.nd asked to see some unset diamonds, and with out the slightest suspicion I brought him in here and spread out a number of pa pers of very valuable stones. I was seat ed in a revolving chair, and had occasion to turn my hack on him for a moment, and when I looked around again I dis covered that two valuable stones were missing. # Very quietly I folded up. the papers, leaving the one from which the stones had been taken until the last. Then saying carelessly that I had something else to show him, I turned to a drawer in my desk and got my revolver. ‘This is what I wanted to show you, and now just put hack those two diamonds,* said L He looked at mo for a moment, said something about insulting a gentleman but he saw the revolver looking very dangerous, and finally produced the stones from his vest pocket.—Phi lad el- phia Press.

What recollections the name itself brings up! Ynma, where they dig for wood and climb for water. Where there are morn Mexicans than Ameri cons, and more Indians than either. Where the "thermometer "seldom gets above 118 in the shade,” and where the wicked Ymnmwin school sent home for his blanket. Where the seat of honor is the left hand, and the railroad hotel gives the traveler tender beefsteaks. Where the river is the color of the earth, and the earth the color of the water. Where steamboats run comfortably on moist sand, and tho prisoners in the peni tentiary keep store in the prison yard. Where the girls are “tough” and the boys are "gentle and refined.” Where they eat strawberries in January, and where the desert blossoms like the rose. Where tho rainfall is less in a year than it is in New York in a day, and where tho old men pitch pennies and fly kites. Where the Indian wurrior is practically peaceful and clean, and where the entire world seems topsy turvy. • Such is Yuma, a picturesque town sit- unted in tho heated corner of the world where Arizona, California and Mexico meet.—Omaha World-Herald. 8|iort That I. Rather Cruel. The scorpion is a bad bedfellow, and he has a mean trick of hiding in your boots and stinging you when yon pnt them on. Out you can havo fun with him after a fashion. .If you want to bring out the best qualities of a scorpion build a little corral of dry leaves or paper around him nnd set fire to it at all points. Make the circle about a foot in diameter, so that the flames will not touch your prisoner. When he sees the ring of fire the scorpion will try to es cape, first at one place and then nt an other, hut the flames will drive him back every time, and when he realizes that he is completely surrounded he will retreat to the center of the ring and de liberntely commit snicide by curling bis tail over and stinging himself in the back. So you see that nature sanctions suicide under some circumstances in spite of what the preachers say about it. The scorpion teaches a lesson that a man hod better remember if he finds himself in the center of a gang of Apaches.—San Francisco Examiner. Two Singular Showers. On Saturday, Nov. 11, 1882, there was a shower of peculiar shaped seeds over an area of several square miles in the vicinity of Statesburg, S. C. The shower began about 11:30 a. in., and was noted for twelve miles in one direction and about Beven nnd a half in the other. In the center of the district over which they fell tho ground was almost covered, the noise mado by them as they fell on the leaves much resembling that made by fine sleet. When examined under the microscope these seed, like grannies, ap peared wholly di fferent from any seeds known to botanists of that part of South Carolina In the following month. December, 1882, Huntington, Ind., and vicinity was treated to a shower of strange worms. They were only about the fourth of an inch in length and about the diameter of a small sewing needle. In some places they fell in such abundance as to covet the snow and ice to the depth of nearly half an inch.—St. Louis Republic. Kew M«ous. In former years the night watchmen of European towns, as they went their rounds, called out the hour and the state of the weather. These watchmen were generally old men, whose infirmities, rather than their fitness, mode them guardians of the night. Of one of them, a watchman of Canterbury, Cooper, the English artist, tells a story amusingly illustrative o.’the mental dullness of the class. One night it had been raining between the hours of the old man’s rounds, a fact of which he was ignorant, having snooted, as nsnal, in his watch box. When he started on his next round the rain had ceased, and the light of the moon was reflected in many pools of water. As tho old man went along he was heard to call out: “Past 11 o'clock, a wet night And mon- moons than usual!” for Infants and Children. “'Castoria \z ao well adapted to children that I recommend Itaa superior to any prescription known to me.” H. A. Aacnxo, H. D., Ill 8a Oxford St, Brooklyn, N. T. “The nae of 'Castoria* Is so universal and Its merits so well known that It seems a work of supererogation to endorse It.
