The Cheapest. Purest and Best family
Medicine in the World I
For DYSPEPSIA, CONSTIPATION, Jaun
dice, Ililiouaat tacks, SICK 11K A DACHE, Colic,
Depression of Spirits, SOUR STOMACH,
Heartburn, etc. This unrivalled remedy is
warranted not to contain a single particle of
Mkkcuky, or any mineral substance, but is
Pl'' It ELY VEGETABLE,
containing those Southern Roots and Herbs
which an all-wise Providence lias placed in
countries where Liver Diseases most prevail.
It will cure all Diseases caused by Derange
ment of the Liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a
bitter or bad taste ia the mouth; Pain in the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu
matism; Sour Stomach; Loss of Appetite;
Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headache:
Loss of Memory, with a painful sensation ot
having failed to do something which ought to
have been done; Debility; Low Spirits, a thick
yellow appearance of the Skin and Eyes, a dry
Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend
the disease, at others very few; but the LIVER
is generally the seat of the disease, and if not
Regulated in time, great suffering, wretched
ness and DEATH will ensue.
The following highly esteemed personsattest
to the virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator:
Gen. W. S. Holt, Pres. Ga. S. \\ . R. R. Co.; Rev.
T. R. Felder, Perry, Ga.; Col. K. K. Sparks, Al
bany, Ga.; C. Masterson, Esq., Sheriff Bibb Co.,
Ga.; Hon. Alexander H. Stephens.
“We have tested its virtues, personally, and
know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and
Throbbing Headache it is the best medicine the
world ever saw. We tried forty other remedies
before Simmons Liver Regulator, but none gave
us more than temporary relief; but the Regu
lator not only relieved, but cured us.”—ED.

Uniform Cotton Bale.
For the last year, or even longer,
there has been an effort on foot in
Texas and in other cotton bearing
states to secure a uniform bale of cot
ton.
The advantages iu having all the
cotton in the south pressed into uni
form size bales are many, and railroad
people have long sought to bring some
kind of influence to bear which would
secure the desired result. But on ac
count of a large percentage of press
owners being put to more or less ex
pense in changing their presses, no
great headway has been made up to
the beginning of last season. But
since last season there has been a great
deal of mission work in this direction,
and the out look now is very favorable
for the next season’s bales proving of a
more uniform size.—New Orleans

In the vicinity of Roquet, Westmore

or two days the trouble has disappear
ed. This same treatment will prompt

Balm, and his recommendations have
had much to do with making it popular
there. For sale by medicine dealers.

Mrs. Rhodie Noah, of this place, was
taken in the night with cramping pains
and the next day diarrhoea set in. She
took half a bottle of blackberry cor
dial but got no relief. She then sent
to me to see if I bad anything that
would help her. I sent her a bottle
ot Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and the first dose
relieved her. Another of our neigh
bors had been sick for about a week
and had tried different remedies for
diarrhoea but kept getting worse. I
sent him this same remedy. Only four
doses of it were required to cure him.

For a woman to marry a man that
lacks character—that is terrible. It’s
gross folly for a girl to marry a man
who has habits of driok. She will
never reform him. It’s foolish, in the
same way, for a man to marry a flirt.
The instinct is in her, and you cannot
get rid of it.—Ex.
There have lately placed npou the
market several cheap reprints of an
obsolete edition of “Webster’s Diction
ary.” These books are given various
names, “Webster’s Unabridged,”
“The Great Webster’s Dictionary,”
“Webster’s Big Dictionary,” “Web
ster’s Encyclopedic Dictionary,” etc.,
etc.
Many announcements concerning
them are misleading. The Webster
reprint portion of each from Ato Z is
the same, —forty six years behind the
times, and printed from plates made by
photographing tbe old pages.
The old book has been padded out
by various additions culled from various
sources, but the body is the same that
was published when Polk was presi
dent and duly buried at the incoming
of Lincoln. The Webster, current
from Lincoln to Harrison, is the popu
lar copyrighted “Unabridged” which
I has recently been superseded by Web
ster’s International Dictionary.—See

“For five-, weeks I livcii-yai void

suffered terribly from indigestion.
He could hardly keep anyth’ug ou
his stomach. What stayed, wasn’t
properly digested and gave him terrible
pangs.
This is not an uncommon case.
Dyspeptics dou’t get enough nourish
ment. They are generally th’n and
weak.
They may eat enough, but they
don’t digest enough. Much of what
they eat turns into poisou. If this

ease they may get next.
That’s why it is best to take Shaker

of indigestion appear.
It cures all the evils of indigestion,

Last summer one of our grand child

I he Atlanta Constitution is authori
: ty for this colored tale:
I There is a negro in Butts county
who finds slavery prefarable to liberty
As the story goes about sixty I'm
years ago the father ol W. I*. Phillips
caught a runaway negro in the woods
He was a young and likely darkey who
wanted a good master, and was willing
to serve him The fact of his promise
to stick by the man who bought him,
through lashings laid on thick, if de
served, or left off altogether, has been
exemplified by his conduct, for he has
never deserted the family, and at the
age of niuefy six he has just taken
unto himself another wife.
He is yet vigorous, for his bride
blushes behind a tawuy skin of thirty
six summers’ growth, while she chalks
up to the mark of No. 37, so far as
conjugality is concerned, but his ideas
on the divorce laws and his deference
to polygamy would make Mormon turn
a shade greener with envy. It is
thought that he has sixteen living
wives, though it is not strange that
such should be the case, as he hears so
much said about “1C to 1” being the
right thing.
The old fel iow is perfectly content,
and wants no better fate than to die
“on Marse Dock's plantation " provid
ed the supply of wives holds out.

What He was Doing.
Into an alley on Fifth street, be
tween Jefferson and Market, a young
fellow who had the appearance of a
country hayseed wandered yesterday
aud 9tood near the entrance, gazing
up at the show bills, reading them
aloud aud spelling them aloud as he
read. He attracted the attention of
the passers by, who gathered around
him and commenced guyiug him. He
stood it pretty well for awhile, and
suddenly faced about hi reply to a
query as to what he was doing and said
to his questioner: “I’ve jist bin waitin’

A nice young nmu out on Walnut
Ilill called on a nice young lady and
spent the evening recoutly. When he
arrived there was not a -cloud iu the

wore neither goloshes nor mackintosh.
At 10 o’clock, when he arose to go, it
was raining pitchforks and grindstones.
“My, my, my!” said the uico young
lr ly, “if you go out in this storm you
will catch your death of cold.”
“I’m afraid 1 might;” was the trem
bling answer.
“Well, I’ll tell you what—stay all
night; you can have Tom's room, as he
is visiting uncle aud aunt up iu the
country. Yes, occupj Tom’s room.
Kxcuse me a minute, and I’ll just run
up aud see if it’s iu order.”
The young lady fled gracefully up
stairs to see if any tidying was neces
sary. In five minutes she came down
to announce that the room was iu road
iuess, but no Charles was iu sight. In
a few miuutes, however, ho appeared,
dripping wet and out of breath from
ruuuing, ami with a bundle in a news

with: “Why, Charles, where have

before sho shuffles off. I’m neither
penniless nor hungry, and 1 ain’t look
ing fur work.”
“But you want something?” queried
oue of the group.
“Yes, I do; but first lemma ask ye
if truth goes with this crown?”
Truth is mighty aud must prevail.”
“Then that’s all right, and I’ll give
it to you straight. Gentlemen, I want
50 cents in cash.”
“But what for?”
“They are holding a church festival
up town, and they are goiu’ to give a
goldheaded cane with sls to the hand
somest man in the county. I want
the money fur a shave, a hair cut and
a clean collar.”
“And are you going to compete?”
“I’m going to git that cane as sure’s
yer born. Gentlemen, I’m not good
but I’m bewtiful. Look at me as I
stand, and then think what an im
provement I kin make fur half a dol
lar!"
“Great Scots! But the idea of your
competing for a beauty prize!” ex
c'aimed our sporksmau.
“Fifty cents gentlemen,” continued
the tramp. “You may not think I
stand a show, but lemme tell you that
there are only three men in the bull
county who aint crosseyed and bow
legged, aud them two are hump back
ed and toothless. No tale of woe, but
a sure winner on a bewty contest.
Truth is mighty, aud it’s duly just 10c
apiece. Thanks, awfully. L to
the barber and then to the contest,
aud ere the sun sinks sweetly to bis
uightly couch the plaudits of the mul
titude will announce that victory has
perched ou mv face.”

(.'ottonaeed Hull* an a Fertilizer.
Question —About how many pounds
of ashes will a ton of cottonseed hulls
produce? How would it do to take hulls
and put in furrow in good fresh new
land, five to six years under cultivation
and put on top of them, say, 100 pounds
of acid phosphate? What is the value
of cottonseed hulls as a fertilizer?
Answer. —A ton of cottonseed hulls
will snake about 57 pounds of ashes.
It would he of very little benefit to pot
hulls and 100 pounds of acid phosphate
to the acre. Of course the phosphate
would produce some good results, and if
the soil were very stiff, the mechanical
effect of the hulls would be good. The
hulls decay so slowly, that the effect on
the crop would hardly be perceptible.
Cottonseed hulls have but little value
as a fertilizer, containing only the fol
lowing amounts of plant food: Nitrogen
% of 1 per cent, or 15 pounds per ton.
Potash, 1.10 per cent, or 22 pounds per
ton. Phosphoric acid .2 per cent or four
pounds per ton.—State Agricultural De
partment.
