J0iNB.8HAW i ' llOU TO GET SWINDLED. i the latest green goods way of DOING BUSINESS. The Fool-biller Alj.ent on « Vacation, and Freah Victim, CouiIue to the Surface- Fool, or Knave,, WblehT-Soiue Men Haven't Time to Head the 1'apera. Of all the fools in a world of fools, the fool who expects to fool somebody out of money by Investing twenty dollars to win a hundred in the green goods line, is the champion fool. Recent developments has uncovered an individual by the name of Graham, from Apalachicola, Fla., who was caught by the following innocent circular: “If you want to do business with me pleasantly and In perfect safety send money as follows: Change whatever you are going to send into big bills. Then place the bills between the leaves of a good sired book; then wrap the book up securely with heavy wrapping paper and twiDe. Then take the pack age to your nearest express office and ship It to the name and address on en closed slip. If the express agent asks you what is In the package, simply tell him it Is a book you are sending to a friend. If he asks you the value, simply laugh and say the package Is of no value. When I receive your order I will send you a package the same way, and then there will be no suspicion on either end. Do not send money by express money packages, as I do not want packages of money coming In at this end to excite suspicion. lie* member, send money only In plain pack age and by express to the namo and ad dress of enclosed slip. Place your let ter in the book with your order and state whatever you want to, how many you want of each denomination, and whether you want them old or new. Re member, address the package to name and address ou enclosed slip. Another good way to send money Is to wrap the | bills up in straw and then put the straw in a bottle, then wrap tbo bottle in straw pack it in a little box, and Bliip by ex press. If the expresi agent ask you what is in the box tell him that it Is a bottle containing some roots of plants you are sending to a friend.” It Is hardly necessary to express an opinion in reference to any man who could be caught by such a transparent fraud. It Is self-evident that the victim Is either a scoundrel or a natural born idiot. And yet when these fellows get nipped in this bald-headed ‘ and hoary game, they plead Ignorance and inno cence, and sit tip a squeal to get their money back. To the question, “What did you In tend to do with counterfeit money?” the victim has nothing to say of a sane nature. lie simply tries to wriggle out of the trap by lying. Ue claims that he didn't intend to buy counterfeit money; that ho thought some philanthropic gentlemen In New York were engaged in missionary work, and had adopted this plan to establish a now religion; that ho thought it was the most natural thing In the world for benevolent peo ple to sell a thousand dollars In nice now money for fifty dollars In old worn- out bills; aqd a dozen other Idiotic ex cuses. Of course, the green goods manipula tor is a thief. The fellow don’t deny It. His only attempt at Justification of this robbery la, that be never robs an boneat man; that be only catohes and uncovers a scoundrel wbo is sailing under the mantle of respectability and honesty among bis neighbors at boms. Just so! The fellow tella the truth. No honest man la ever caught in that way, or In any other way, by any device, much leu by one that is to well known and threadbare u this circular Indicates, This being universally admitted, the question la, Which of these two aooun- erela U the most despicable—the trapper or bit victim f Which deserves the severest punishment f The open and declared thief, or the secret and "re spectable" one ? Don't storm the system u you would a fort. If held by the enemy, eonstt- ssnsWBS? wss These little pills are wonderful con- vlncers. For sale by the Davenport Drug Company.

Americus remembers well the return of Mr. Kennedy, the old veteran, his wife and nine boys; how they came all the way from old Virginia with their earthly possessions in an ox cart. They were met by the father’s comrades in arms; there was rejoicing, and the pa triotism of the Georgian was rewarded with a royal welcome. The boys turned out, the band played “Dixie,” gold, sil ver and precious gifts were awarded the plucky family, who domesticated in Sumter county, and all went well until the good wife longed to gaze once more on the mountalLs of her old Virginia home. To her there was no air so pure, no sky so blue, no valleys so fertile. Again the old man made love’s sacri fice, bitched up his wagon, now drawn by two sleek horses; and they returned as they had come the year before, and in life's busy conflict would probably have been forgotten. Last night Mr. Tom Glover was sit ting in his store when two strangers en tered, introducing themselves as David and John, sons of the “old Georgia vet eran.” They hankered after the land of their father, the old red clay of Geor gia, and have returned to live, die and be bujied in her soil. Mr. Glover was presented with a beau tiful luscious peacb of the Indian varie ty, a remembrance David and John brought him all the way from North Carolina. They will doubtless shake with their Georgia friends to-day. Thereby Hang* a Tale. “And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe, Ami tticn, from hour to hour, we rot and rot. Aud thereby hangs a tale.” And truly, "t’is a talc of woe,” of one who had Catarrh In the Head, for many years, and who really had been “rot ting," from hour to hour, until Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Homedy came to his notice. He used It at first with slight signs of relief, but be persisted until a permanent cure was effected, and the world was again pleasant to live in. From his awful suffering he was set free by the expenditure of a few dollars In that Incomparable remedy.
