mm l naif wen I 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? m I flt clears out the channels ¥ through which poisons are carried from the body.

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.

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.

Dr. W. A. Wright, j 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.

We also direct the 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. J. W. Dunbar, Foreman. R. Y.

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.

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.’” FOR LA GRIPPE.
