BERNER'S LITTLE BILL
Cures scRbFuLA.
EPP ifilsi
Excite* Universal Comment—The Tax ou
Bachelors.
Atlanta, August 3—The bill intro
duced by Mr. Berner yesterday was the
subject of conversation in railroad and
legislative circles. If tlio bill is pushed
and passed, the railroads of the state
will be under the inspection of the rail
road commissioners sure enough, but
will the bill be passed? From various
members of the committeo to whom the
hill was referred it is learned, they will
report it back with a recommendation
that it “do pass,” and thon if tho house
agrees with them, the hill will become a
law, and the railroads will be controlled
in their leases and contracts, as well as
in their freight and passenger rates.
Tho bill introduced by Mr. Seay to
tax all unmarried malo citizens, except
widowers (the proceeds to go towards
tho support of the branch college at
Dahloncga, Milledgevilie, Cuthbert,
Hamilton and Forsyth) bad a narrow es
cape from a serious amendment in the
committeo on sanitation and hygiene.
An amendment was ottered making it
apply only to members of the present
legislature, and afterwards only to tho
counties of Floyd and Monroe. The bill
proposes to tax all unmarried persons
between 30 and 35 years of ago to pay
an annual tax of $25; between 35 and 40,
$50; 40 and 45, $75; 45 and 50, $100; 50
and 55, $125; 55 and 00, $150; and all
over 00 years of age, $200 per annum.

Merit Wins.
We desire to say to our citizens, that
for years we have been selling Dr. King’s
New Discovery for consumption, Dr,
King’s New Life Pills, Bucklen’s Arnica
Salve and Electric Bitters, and have
never handled remedies that sell as well,
or that have given such universal satis
faction. We do not hesitate to guaran
tee them every time, and we stand ready
to refund the purchase price, if satlsfac
tory results do not follow their use.
These remedies have won their great
popularity purely on their merits. E. J.

As has already been announced after tho 1st day of Sept, we will
be In new quarters under the Alhambra Hotel, 2d door from ladies’
entrance on Jackson street, opposite Dr. Eldridpre’s Drug Store, where
we are having fixed up especially for us, in a nobby way, and we pro
pose to add to our already elegant stock, such a line that will not be
equaled in this section. We have already enjoyed a good trade for
tho past twelve months, which we are thankful for, but we expect to
make our business now what it has never been before if good goods
and plenty of them with fair prices and kind treatment will be any in
ducements.
In the mean time we will sell our croquet sets, hammocks
pictures and picture frames, and a great many other goods at actua
cost for the next twenty days to save moving them. Of course this
means Spot Cash.
