If our Henry county people desire
the best meal that can be gotten up,
we respectfully call their attention to
the Palatial Restaurant, conducted by
clever Rube Champion, the popular
caterer of Griffin. Mr. Champion has
secure! the services of Prof. Scott, a
celebrated French cook who has had
years of experience in the best Paris
ian hotels. Do not fail to call, and
get a good meal for 35 cents. Next

We call attention to the new double
column ad of Fill Morris ;he still of

Corn Whiskey.’.’ Mr. Morris is too
well and favorably known to our peo
pie to recommend him or his celebrat
ed whiskey, but we will add, if you
want the genuine home made, unadul
terated whiskey, send your money, and
he will give you as good whisky as ev
er cured a snake bite.
The many patrons of Messrs. Sm : th
Ethridge ifc Co w ill be pleased to note
that this enterprising firm has taken
their usual large double column ad in
The Weexi.y again. This firm lias
gained a justly celebrated reputation
from the grand style in which they treat
their customers. It is a well known
fact there is not a bouse iu middle
Georgia who offers better and cheaper
goods. AVben you need anything in
their line be sure to call on them when
you go to Jackson, for there you will
find head quarters for low pi ices and
good goods.

A Ten Acre Potato Patch.
You know Col. Til Flint. Me is
the old hero who took command of G,
19th Georgia Regiment, and who was
promoted to a colonelcy for gallantry.
While seeking “the bubble reputation”
as a confederate soldier, he found a
shower of leaden hail at Sharpsburg,
Mil., which shattered his thigh ami
left him a physical wreck of Ids form
er self,
I bis old hero, for Ney, “the bravest
of the brave,” never faced danger with
more coolness than gallant Til Flyut,
has engaged in farming since the war.
He first began by following that most
delusive and enchanting of all faim
crops, the raising of cot-on. At one
time he was running a seven mule
crop, and succeeded admirably in get
ting head over heels in debt. But l>e
ing a man of good, horse sense lie sold
his cotton farm and bought an elegant
eighty acre farm, a mile and a half
from Grittiu, where he began lo remod
el his plan of farming operations.
He began by planting a sweet pota
to crop, on which he made more clear
money than he had on any previous
cotton crop.
Now, as to his this years operations
it atlorded the writer of this article a
few days ago pleasure to visit his farm.
For the first time iu life we beheld a
ten acre potato “patch.” The green,
luxuriant vines had completely cover
ed the ground, and as one walked
through the “patch” the vines would
strike up near the knees. The rows
were cracked with fissures made bv a
"nest” of six and eight pound potafres
under each hill, which the colonel
would occasionally disclose by uncover
ing them with his walking cane. It is
fair to presume that the ten acres will
make 2.500 bushels. He has sold a
100 bushels already at one dollar per
hu-hel. He informed us that he had
never sold them for less than 75 cents
pei bushel. It will be seen, that should
he get no more than 75 cents per
bushel, he will make 5? 1,875.
He informed the writer that the
vines on his potatoes weie worth as
much as the best clover, and that he
always sayed it for foiage. He has
enough of this rich slock food to w in- 1
ter his stock abundantly. As to the !
sale of his potatoes he says they are as ;
staple as cotton.
Mis plan of culture is exceedingly
interesting. He never waits for rain
to set out his plants. When the plant
“beds” are ready to be drawn he mix
esoip a quantity of clay with water,
taking great care to kuead it until ev
ery particle of grain is entirely dissolv
ed ; he then takes a bunch of plants by
their tops and dips them into this lob
lolly ; he then carefully shakes them
and immerses tiie roots a second time.
15y this process he gets quite a quanti
ty of clay to stick to the roots. It
makes tio difference if it has not rained
in a month he sets the plants out with
out water, and they never so much as
wilt. This fact is attested by bis
neighbors.
The Public Will Appreciate it.
The pub'ic are t'«idebted to the
Royal baking Powder Company not
more for having perfected and piepar
ed a leavening agent that is pure and
wholesome beyond a question than foi
its exposure, so boldly made, of the
numerous impure, adulterated and inju
rious articles that are sold under the
name of baking powders, bread prep
arations, etc., throughout the country.
In making these exposures the com
pany lias, of course, made itself the
target for all sons of counter attacks
has been perfectly understood l>v the
general public, and by their verv vir
ulence have served to more promin
ently c<ll attention 10 the good work
of the “Hoyal” Company.
Ordinary adulterations such as aie
j found in coff e. spices, etc , although
j they are swindles in a commercial
sense, are i lten tolerated because they
do not paiticularly affect the health of
the consumer. But when an article
like baking powder, that is relied up
on for the healthful preparation oi al
most every meal, is so made as to car
ry highly injurious if not rankly poi
sonous elements into our daily food, it
is the duty of the publ c authorities to
take cogn zauce of it.
In this fight for pure food made by
the ‘•Royal ’ Company, it is to be no ;
ticed that the mosi trustworthy scien I
! title authorities are empl atical y upon
j its s de. 111 all the contests of this
company with the alum ami other im
! pure baking jiowders the result has
i proved that every statement marie by
|ti e Royal Baking Powder Company,
I both as to the purify of its own and the
; adu’teration of other baking powders
of the market, was fully authorized by
the most Comjtetent chemical and metl
cal authorities of the country.
In this contest two facts haye been
pietty conclusively settled in tiie minds
of the public—t! e first that the Royal
(Am pmy has found the meant, and
uses ti em to make a chemically pure
article of food ; uvd tl e other that the
| market is full of poisonous, alum and
ot' er adulterated baking powders,
which, no matter bow strougly endors
i ed by “commercial ’ chemists, are to be
studiously avoided.
A pure baking powder i- one of the
•Ye ' aids to the c< o - in preparing per
fect and wholesome food. The recent
I controversy in the press has left it no
longer a question with those who de
sine purity and wholesomeness of food
what baking powder they shall use.

Weak Women.
The more sensitive nature of the fe
male sex renders women much mo e
susceptible than men to those numer
ous ills which spring from lack of bar
tnony in the system. The nervous sys
tem gives way, sick headache is fre
quent, the appetite is lost, and other
ailments peculiar to the sex cause great
suffering. Hood's Sarsaparilla is pe
culiarly adapted for such cases am! lias
received the most gratifying praise for
the relief it has afforded thousands of
women whose very existence before
taking it was only misery. It strength
ens the nerves, cures sick headache
and mdigesiioii, purifies and vitalizes
blood, and gives regular and healthy
act on to every organ in the lardy.
