A movement will be started in Bruns wick shortly looking to the establish ment of a Young Men’s Christian As sociation. According to the Eatonton Messen ger, Putnam county farmers as a rule are in better fix than they have been in many years. Savannah and the coast country was swept by a gale Sunday, and while the damage was considerable there was, fortunately, no loss of life. At last accounts Atlanta was sf ill ready to annex Clarkesville, Tenu., and Columbia, S. C., hut they declined to he annexed.—Savannah Press. Albany Herald: It is not too late to plant more corn, Mr. Farmer. Corn will come in all right next winter and spring whether cotton brings 10 cents a pound or 5 cents. There is a difference of 23 years be tween the ages of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Bryan. “ThdTi, ” says the Washing ton Post, “there are a few other differ ences.” Editor Hook suggests that when Mr. Roosevelt gets out West he might try conclusions with a bronco or two as a warming-up preliminary to tackling the Trusts. The Constitution thinks if all the gentlemen who have been named by Terrell as delegates to the charity convention will give a dollar apiece it will help some. When Grover Cleveland gets out of the world he may with some degree of certainty, he considered out of politics. Any calculations of the public before that time are subject to revision. The Richmond Times-Hispatcli thinks the Buffalo affair “teaches some people that love letters of certain va rieties should be burned as soon as read.’ It would he much safer to burn them before they are posted. The New York Commercial says: “The New York and New Orleans cot ton exchanges can shut out the bucket shops if they wish, and they have gone about it right in seeking the co-opera tion of the telegraph companies.” The Augusta Chronicle thinks if Mr. Cleveland goes West—as he is said to be planning to do—and strikes one of those Wyoming trout streams, they’ll never get him back in time to run for so unimportant a thing as the Presi dency. “Columbus is practically certain to get the Georgia, Florida and Alabama Railroad within twelve months, and the Brunswick and Birmingham won’t be far behind it. How things will boom when all this begins to happen” exultingly exclaims the Enquirer-Sun. Montgomery is to have a bank with a half a million dollars capital, if re ports be true, and another bank is to increase its capital stock from SIOO,OOO to $250,000. That looks like Montgom ery is prospering, at least in the bank ing world.—Montgomery Journal. The Georgia troops which are to be supplied by the national government with Krag-Jorgensen rifles do not in clude the Georgia colonels, facetiously remarks the Columbus Enquirer-Sun. However, the colonels will not be left entirely defenselesss—repeating flasks will be part of their equipment, says the Atlanta Constitution. There is a rumor afloat in Washing ton that Roosevelt recently asked Sen ator Hanna if he was going to be a candidate for president, and that Han na replied that be would not be. “In my judgment,” Hanna is quoted as adding to the president, “you will be nominated and elected. There is but one man who will stand in your way.” “Who is that?” the president asked. “Theodore Roosevelt,” was Hanna’s curt reply. Children are unconscious philoso phers. They refuse to pull to pieces their enjoyments to see what they are made.—Henry Ward Beeoher. ‘PROSPERITY AND PROGRESS.” The time has now come w hen the Re publican penny-a-liners and caricatu rists have revived that ancient slogan “Prosperity and Progress” that has proved such a shibboleth for, 10, these many years. Sometimes a natty lad called “Teddy” is holding an exquisite little yacht with this inscription upon its sails, while a hobbledehoy named Bryan carries a rude scow -like vessel to which is attached a huge anchor, the fluke buried in the ground while Gro ver Cleveland is seated on the other. Sometimes the words are distributed indiscriminately, upon banner, shield or boarding, wherever there is room to get them in. But however utilized, it can bo de pended upon that they will be made to do yeoman service until the set of that November sun that shall proclaim the struggle over. “Prosperity and Progress”—has a sort of P. P., patent mediciney sound —but is nevertheless a catchy battle cry. And yet, let’s see? Prosperity 7 ? Well, there’s the big anthracite strike —that’s one, and will do for the middle Anger; and the existent Waterbury strike, that’s tw r o; and the Albany strike, and the Shenectady strike, the Chicago teamsters’ strike, the Kansas City' ditto the West Virginia miners— why, shucks, one would need to be an octo pus to count them all on the fingers! And strikes are certainly 7 not prima facie evidence of Prosperity. And Progress? Humph. An extra session of the senate—that doesn’t seem to indicate very 7 swift previous transactions ou the [part of those old gentlemen; and the gory remains of the exploded Trusts that were to have littered the Washingtonian streets — where, oh, where are they 7 ? And the Panama canal- treaty 7 , that does not permit us to fortify 7 and protect that for w 7 hich our millions are to be ex pended—but why pursue the subject further? “Prosperity and Progress” will con tinue to be the Republican watch word in spite of all that can be said, and the only consolation is that braggingbased on false grounds frequently defeats it self. It may prove so in this case.— Augusta Chronicle. WHERE PEOPLE DIE OF OLD AGE. One of the most remarkable cities in the world is Kelburg, near Cracow, Poland, for, besides being situated un derground, it is excavated entirely in rock salt. Most of the inhabitants work in the famous salt mines, and all the streets and houses are of the purest white imaginable. One of the most fa mous features of the city is the cathe dral, carved in salt and lighted by electricity, and when the late Czar Alexander visited it he was so fascina ted with the magnificent effect of the light upon the crystal walls that he presented the cathedral with a jew'eled altar cross. Such a thing as infectious disease is unknown in Kelburg; in fact the majority of the people die of old age.—Chicago Journal. The Atlanta Journal thinks that Tillman is the best authority in this country on hisses. When w r e recall that these hisses upon which Tillman is authority 7 are largely from those at the north w r ho hissed him because he tells them the truth about the south, we are inclined to think that hisses are not alw 7 ays dishonorable, but fre" quently commend the victim.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition: beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order 'or diseased. - Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born 1 afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp=Root is soon realized. It is sold Homo of Swauijv Root. by druggists, in fifty cent and one dollar i sizes. You may have a] sample bottle by mail free, also pamphlet tell- ing all about it, including many of the thousands of testimonial letters received from sufferers cured. In writing Dr. Kilmer &. Co., Binghamton, N. Y., be sure and mention this paper. Don’t make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton, N. Y., on every bottle.

THAT THE FOOD IS DIGEST ED IS ASLO EQUALLY NECESSARY. We Recommend Vinol as an Appetite Creator. WE GUARANTEE THAT VINOL WILL AID DIGESTION. Vinol is the greatest aid to digestion that we have ever known. It is because Vinol acts so beneficially upon the stomach that it accomplishes so much good. Vinol contains the active curative principles that are found in cod-liver oil, without any oil or grease. These medicinal elements act so favorably upon the stomach, that this organ obtains for itself the elements necessary for creating new flesh, muscle tissue and for making rich red blood. When the stomach acts easily and naturally, a desire is created for good simple food and a good appetite is the sure result. With cod-liver oil as formerly taken the medicinal elements which it con tained were too often unable to counteract the harm that was done by the obnoxious grease that enveloped them. Now that in Vinol we have those same elements separated from the vile tasting fat, we have a tonic and re builder that is simply marvelous in its action. The following is a letter that will ex plain itself: “ This is to certify that I have used six bottles of Vinol, and have found it of great value as an appetizer and tonic in general debility. I have re ceived so much benefit from its use that I gladly furnish this testimonial in order that others may be induced to give it a trial and prove to themselves its recuperative powers.”—Mrs. Eliz abeth Feeney, Waterbury, Conn. • We want every one in this place to know more about our Vinol, how it cures and what it cures. Certainly the greatest tonic and rebuiider we have ever sold. We, therefore, cordially invite any one interested to call upon us; and we want all to bear in mind that we will gladly refund to any one who is not satisfied with the action of Vinol •very cent they pay for it, J.
