Many persons have their good
day and their had day. Others
are about half sick all the time.
H They have headache, backache,
M and are restless and nervous.
Food does not taste good, and
the.digestion is poor; the skin
mKL is dry and sallow and disfigured
with pimpies or eruptions;
sleep brings no rest and work
is a burden.
What is the cause of all this?
fcjErf Impure-blood.
And the remedy?

I
flt clears out the channels ¥
through which poisons are
carried from the body. When
all impurities are removed from
the blood nature takes right hold ■■■
and completes the cure.

John Morgan's Champion Forager.
Mr. Daniel Mitchell’s * return to
Madison county, has revived in the
minds of the Confederates that fol
lowed Morgan through what is known
as his Ohio raid, rather an interesting
incident of that memorable journey.
It was the duty of Mr. Mitchell,
with others detailed from the various
companies in Morgan's command, to
forage and bring provisions for the
rapidly moving army. It was notica
ble that Mr. Mitchell brought in more
provisions than any other toragers,
and the reason for his good luck in
gathering the provisions naturally cre
ated tavorable comment, and inquiry
was made of him how he happened
to gather in so much.
Mr. Mitchell explained his good
fortune as follows:
When my horse broke down I was
compelled to get another horse or be
captured by the Yankees, so as a
matter of self preservation, I was
forced to press into service the only
animal I could find, which was a mare
with a yearling colt. I desired to get
rid of the colt and traded it in good
faith for provisions. But the colt
bounded out of all his new. enclos
ures as often as I traded him, and
then I learned that he could almost
jump the moon and had become at
tached to the army as well as its dam.
Since my first swap I traded the colt
for at least a thousand dollars worth
of provisions, and there he stands,
ready and in good shape for more
service.”—Richmond (Ky.) Climax.

Drink's Madness.
A man in Liverpool went home to
his house drunk. A little child, two
years old was crying. He said, “stop
your crying!” The little girl knew
nothing but that it was frightened,
terrified: and the child cried on.
What did the father do? Took up
the baby two years old and laid it on
the fire. Can you show me a man
in the world who would be guilty of
such horrible brutality as that, ex
cept when he was drunk? An insane
lunatic, at large from an asylum,
would scarcely do it. It is only the
madness caused by drink that pro
duces such results.—Ex.

GENERAL PRESENTMENTS.
,
j We, ihe grand jury chosen and
sworn for the April term 1899 of
Pike superior court, desire to make
the following General Presentments:
We have made as thorough exami
| nation of the business of the various
offices of the county, as our limited
1 time would permit.
ORDINARY.
We find the books of the ordinary
neatly and correctly kept, properly
indexed and all papers pertained to
that office on file as the law requires.
CLERK SUPERIOR COURT.
We also find the books of the clerk
of the superior court correct, very
explicit and fully up to the require
ments of the law. ,
SHERIFF.
The dockets and papers pertaining
to the sheriff’s office we find correct
and entirely satisfactory to our body.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND TREAS
URER.
We find the books and vouchers of
the county commissioners and treasu
rer coirect and well kept, together
with correct vouchers for all disburse
ments of the county funds for the
past fiscal year to the amount of
$13740.15; leaving a cash balance on
ham! of $4100.00.
TAX RECEIVER.
We find the books of tax receiver
well and neatly kept, and the duties
of that officer well discharged.
TAX COLLECTOR.
We find also the books of the tax
collector correct, and that his reports
and payments have been promptly
made to the satisfaction of our body.
COUNTY COURT.
We find the books of the county
court and all the papers pertaining
thereto correct and properly filed,
showing the disposition of all civil and
criminal business coming before that
court. We commend this court to
the people because of its great saving
in expediting the civil and criminal
business of the county.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
We have examined the public build
ings and find the court house in good
condition, and we approve the action
of the county commissioners in re
moving the tower from the center cf
the court house and placing it where
it now stands.
The jail we find in fairly good con
dition, except the sewerage pipe,
which is broken down, the waste wa
ter from the same wetting the floor.
We recommend that the sheriff pro
ceed at once to have it repaired.
We find the poor farm in good con
dition. We find eleven inmales there,
three of whom are sick, and receiving
proper attention. We believe the
farm to be a necessity.
COUNTY SCHOOL COMMISSIONER.
. We find the books and vouchers of
the county school commissioner cor
rect and neatly kept and his disburse
ment of the school fund altogether
satisfactory. We thank the county
school commissioner for the valuable
information furnished in his very elab
orate report. We commend the board
of education and the commissioner
for their efficient work.
JUSTICES OF THE PEACE.
We find the dockets of the justice
of the peace and notaries public cor
rect, with proper entries.
We have elected E. P. Barrow no
tary public and ex-officio justice peace
to fill th<i vacancy created in the
592nd District G. M., by the removal
of O. H. Eifsey from the county and
W. A. Strickland notary public and
ex-officio justice peace to fill the va
cancy created in the 505th District
G. M., by the resignation of J. B.
Madden.
TAXATION.
We recommend that three and three
tenths of one per cent be levied on
the taxable property of the county for
the present year for county purposes.
We recommend that the advertising
fees collected by the sheriff in the
sales of real estate under tax fr fas.
when the same has been advanced by
the county, be returned to the county
treasurer.
PUBLIC ROADS.
I
We find the public roads in fairly
good condition under our present sys
tem of road working, and we direct
the county commiss'oners to order
the district commissioners of every
district to thoroughly work and widen
the pubjic roads during the summer
months: also to remove all loose
stones or other obstructions found on
GRIPPE
Grippe and influenza invariably leave
the system with a bad cough. For
such Dr. John W. Bull’s Cough Syrup
is highly recommended. This won
derftil remedy gives relief at once,
conquers the worst cough overnight
and soon effects a thorough cure.

county commissioners to substitute in
the future terracotta piping instead
of lumber, for water way openings
across the road bed.
We direct that one thousand copies
of these road instructions be printed,
and have them distributed to each
district commissioners, and said district
commissioners to their respective
'overseers.
We recommend and insist that the
district commissioners of roads do re
quire their overseers to pass over
theirioads and remove all loose stones
from the road beds at once.
PENSIONING PAUPERS.
We recommend that the present
system of pensioning the pauyers of
the county be changed in regard to
the form and manner of making ap
plication for pensions. We recom
mend that the new form set forth that
the applicant has been a resident of
Pike county at least fifteen years. We
think flie form ot application required
by the state for the pensions to Con
federate soldiers and widows is worthy
of imitation by the county in this
matter, and we recommend that the
board of commissioners make the new
form of application conform to same
to such extent as they think best.
We further recommend that the
commissioners require the paupers
already on the county to mace and
submit application under the new
form betore new disbursements are
made.
We recommend that the jail fees
be reduced from $9.00 to $7-5° P er
month for boarding prisoners.
We commend the various officers
for the efficient and faithful manner
in which they have discharged the
duties of their respective offices.
We tender to Judge Reagan our
thanks for the able charge delivered
to our body, and the courtesy extend
ed to us during the present term.
And we thank Solicitor General
Bloodworth for his kindness and the
valuable aid given us in our investi
gations.
We recommend that these General
Presentments be published in the
Pike County Journal and Barnesville
Gazette, and that each receive five
dollars for the same.

HOW TO LOOK GOOD.
Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital or
gans. If the liver be inactive, you
have a bilious look; if your stomach
be disordered, you have a dyspeptic
look; if your kidneys be affected, you
have a pinched look. Secure good
health, and you will surely have good
looks. “Electric Bitters” is a good

TUTT’S Liver PILLS
Mrs. Amanda Robinson, wife of \Vm. Robinson, farmer
and stockman, near Howesville, Cfay County, Ind., has
for several years been in declining health and despond
ent. For three months she, was so much enfeebled as to
be not only unable to attend to her domestic affairs but
too sick and feeble to be up and about. To-day she is in
good health and able to attend her household duties.
She relates her experience thus: “I was afflicted with
troubles incident to my sex and was in a very delicate
state of health. I lost my appetite, dwindled away in
flesh, and was greatly depressed. After taking various
remedies without being benefited, I was induced to try
Dr. Williams’ Pink- Pills for Pale People.
“ Early in the summer of 1897 I procured five boxes
of them and began taking the pills as directed. Before
consuming the seoond box I eould very perceptibly feel
their beneficial effects. My appetite returned, com
plexion improved, and I had renewed strength. After
taking the five boxes I felt better in every way; I was
able to do my usual daily work and I stopped taking the
pilla.— From the Democrat. Brazil , Ind.
A Mortgage on the Fig.
The Coiambus Enquirer-Sun gives
the following item, which shows con
clusively how far some people will go
in giving mortgages on their worldly
possessions:
“Among the crop mortages filed
at the courthouse yesterday was one
in which every article and animal in
| the household and on the farm of the
| person who gave the mortgage was
enumerated. Among other things
described, was ‘one little pig.’ This
little pig will doubtless be a big hog
when the paper becomes due. Some
times in these paper the writers go
into details. Recently a person took
a mortgage on the household effects
of some individual, and among the
things specified was ‘one family Bi
ble.’”

Revenue Stamp on Kisses.
The report that every husband who
kisses his wife must put a revenue
stamp on her is not true. The gov
erment requires stamps to be used
where profit occurs and makes no
vain revenue laws. Stamps are only
used where a man kisses other men’s
wives and o.her men find it out.—
