The festive little street urchin, called
Albert Blackman, has developed a spirit
of progress and enterprise that is bound
to win him distinction some day. He
will either land in the State Peniten
tiary. furnish the subject for a first class
hanging, or become a great republican
leader. Last Saturday he was sent by
our fish dealer, Mr. Homer Button, to
deliver a string of fish to a customer.
Late in the afternoon the customer came
around enquiring for his fish and it was
discovered that the little thief had car
ried them to his own home. If the parents
of this enterprising youth are not parti
ceps criminis they had better take their
hopeful offspring in hand.
It is not generally known, but it is.
never the-less. a fact, that one of the best
patent medicines on the market to-day
is put upright here in Ellaville- Forty

zens discovered what is now known as
Henry Scarborough’s Cough Drops.
Gradually the reputation of the medicine
spread upon its own merit. Dr. Cheney
and other physicians of this section be

mended it to others, until .. now till , obi
