The Purest nnd Post Family
Medicine in the World!
For DYSPEPSIA, CONSTIPATION’, Jaun
dice, Miltons at tucks, SICK HKAUAOIK, ('ol;c,
I)epi- .iim of Spirits, MJI'R STOMACH,
Heart inn n, etc. This unrivalled remedy is
warranted not to contain a single \ article of
Mek« urv, or any mineral substance, but is
1 H’RKLY u:(;etahle,
containing those Southern Hoots and Herbs
which an all-wise Providence has placed in
countries where Liver Diseases most prevail.
It will cu'-e all Diseases caused by Derange
ment of the Liver and Bowels.
The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a
bitter or bad taste in the mouth; Pain in the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken fur Rheu
matism; sour Stomach; L* -s of A, utite;
Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headache:
Loss of Memory, with a painful sensation of
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 persons attest
to the virtfli-s of Simmons Liver Regulator:
Gen. W. S. Holt, Pres. Ga. S. \Y. K. R. Co.; Rev.
J. K. Felder, Perry, da.; Col. E. K. Sparks, Al
bany, G a.; C. Masterson, F.sq., Sheriff Bibb Co.,
Ga.; lion. Alexander H. Stephens.
“We have tested its virtues, personally, and
know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and
Throbbing Ileadachp it is the best medicine the
world ever saw. We tried forty other remedies
bef< re Simmons Liver Regulator. but none gave
us more than temporary relief; but the* Regu
lator not only relieved, but cured us.” Ed.

Don’t Hark the Hoy’s.
I)<> you know what makes mans
wn timorous, uncertain ami given t.
j hesitating on everything unusual with
j which they are confronted?
It is because they were hacked whii
I they were boys. They were not
taught gelt reliance, were not trusted
and were made to doubt their own in
herent powers and judgement.
Such act urse of training tends to
damu the character of a mau and keep
him in the rear tanks all his life.
If a boy shows a nature that is bold
and aggressive try to teach him to curb
! his impulse and to consider the conse
quences before he acts, but don’t cow
j hint down by a peremptory course of
| repression.
If he be timid and retiring teach
him that nothing is gained without
some risk. Encourage him to. strike
out and think and act for himself.
One way to teach a boy to swim is to
pitch him head over heels into ten foot
water.
I don’t believe in teaching a boy
quite so heroically as that because you
are likely to give his nervous system a
shock from which be cau never recov
er.
But I was taught to swim by being
takeu out iuto deep water by a strong
swimmer, turned loose and told to do
my best and fear uo danger as there
was pleuty of help if I should need it.
A few lessons like that were all that
I required ami 1 soon learned to swim
without any trouble.
Show your confidence in the boy by
giving him a chance. If he advances
a sensible idea or course of conduct,
encourage him in it and give him the
benefit of your experience.
Don’t hack the boy. If he wants to
take part in the foot races or athletic
exercises fix him up the best you are
able so that he w’Tl not be handicapped
and tell him to go in and win.
If he wants to gd fishing or hunting
see that he is in company with some
responsible person and tell him to go
ahead.
If you are able to do it see that his
| tackle or hunting outfit are as good as
those of his companions so that he will
uot feel embarrassed.
And don’t ever select a boy’s hats
for him after he puts ciy' trousers. 1
never saw a boy in my life but who
wanted to choose his own hat. The
hat that you select may he a better one
but it will never feel as comfortable on
his head as the one of his own choos
-1 ug
lily daddy used to buy hats for me
and they were an unfailing source of
grief and mortification aud I swore a
great oath that if ever the Lord gave
me hoys of my own they should buy
their own hats.
Don’t shirk all the disagreeable tasks
and shift them on to your boy. If
there is a job of work that is very dis
agreeable, go out and take bold with
the boy and show him that you are not
ashamed nor afraid to do it, and that
will encourage him.
I have known mea to send their boys
to borrow things that they felt too
proud to ask the loan of themselves.
I have seen them send out bills to col
lect from disagreeable people whom
they did not waut to come in contact
wirh themselves, hut would send their
boys
Now, that is not right. The aver
age hoy has plenty of sense and his
sensibilities are just as keeu, or keener
than those of an older person. Do
not blunt them by imposing such disa
greeble tasks.
Don’t be. afraid your boy will break
his neck, soil his cloths or tear his
stockings running foot races, throwing
the hammer or turning hand springs.
It is the natural instinct of animality
that urges him to develop the muclee
and sinew of his body so that it may
! be better fitted to do the b'dding of an
active intellect and to perform the func
tions of a man.
Don’t lay down set rules for his
guidance. The instinct of freedom is
j iuherent in the boy’s bosom and if you
fetter him with wise maxims and at
] tempt to regulate his conduct by cer
tain rules, no matter how wise or good
they may be, the fact that they are
forced upon him will create an antipa
thy in his heart against them. Don’t
hack the boy and cause him to grow
up as a mau of mediocrity.

A Good Man Pusses Away.
llev. H. F. Buchanan died last Mon
lay night at S o’clock at his home in
this ci y, on Decatur Street, in the 76th
year ol his ago. He had been iu feeble
health for a year or more and was first
up then d"wn for a long time until
a few weeks ago when be was forced to
take his bed tor good.
From this last attack he never rallied
and gradually grew weaker and weaker
until last Monday night, when his pure
i spirit passed peacefully to the great
I beyond, and bis eyes opeued upon the
eternal glories of the heavenly home.
“Uucle Buck,” as he was generally
called by everybody, was loved by all
our people and held the confidence and
high esteem of all who knew him. In
his death the Baptist denomination
loses a most able minister, aad he will
be mourned as a truly good man.
The interment occurred iu Eastview
cemetery Tuesday afternoon, after
funeral services at the Conyers Bap
tist church by Rev M. DeFuor, as
sisted by Revs David Shaver and J.
R. George. He was laid to rest with
masonic honors, of which order he was
an old and honored member.
The bereaved relatives have our
sympathy in their sad hour of trial.—

“Now,” said the prudent man, “you
have drawn up my will to the best of
your ability?”
“Yes.sir,” replied the lawyer. “I’ve
done it just as carefully as I knew
how.”
“And its properly signed and wit
nessed and all that?”
“Everything is quite regular.”
“Well there is just one more thing I
wish you’d do for me. It’s largely a
matter of curiosity.”
“Wbat is it?”
“I wish you’d tell me who, in your
opiuion, is most likely to get the money

It is a Mistake.
To take off proper clothing out of
season because you have become heat
ed.
To keep on working when you are
not in fit condition to do so.
To believe that cbrildren can do as
grown people, and that the more hours
they study the more they learn.
To go to bedjate at night and rise
at day-break, aud imagine that every
hour tak> n from sleep is an hour gain
ed.
To imagine that if a little exercise
is good, violent or prolonged exercise
is better.
To eat as though you ha 1 only a
minute iu which to finish a meal or to
eat without an appetite, or after it has
been satisfied, merely to gratify taste.
’To imagine tbit whatever remedy
causes one to feel immediately better
(ns alcoholic stimulants and strong
drugs) will be good for the system
without regard for the after effects.
To sleep exposed to a direct draft at
any season, or to sit ir> draft when over
heated. even during the warmest sum
mer season.
To think that any nostrum is a spe
cific for all the diseases that flesh is
heir to, and to depend upon this for

iu 1805, because he accepted the situu

_Mr. Tom Watson, w.lieu quite a young
democrat, got out of the democratic
ranks, and for sometime wavered be

Kveutually he found himself iu the
populist camp. Whether or not, like
the Hon. Joseph Brown, he has been
waiting for the democratic party to
catch up with his politics is not known,
but whatever the fact is, Watson
would not go to the democratic party
and so the democratic party has gone
to him, practieal’y. j It would uot be

A horse tells us lfeto tl - eat a man
in the following language: “When a
man drops from sheet* exhaustion or
illness, promptly seize an end board or
cart stake aud pound him on the bead
and on the ribs. If this does not re
cuperate him kick him in the belly.
This treatment will restore him, if per
sistently administered. If a man finds
his load too heavy kick off a fence
board aud kuock him down—aud ham
mer him thoroughly with the hoard.
This will give renewed energy and he
will make no more fuss. But do not
ou any account reduce the load; that
would look too much like good sense.
If a man refuses to drink when you
offer him any water, don’t give him
anything for two days. That will
“teach him” to be thirsty at any time

asking for a description of Trave'er,

dangers and sufferings through which
he has passed. Me could dilate upon

Bichmoud, the second Manassas, at.
Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, the last
day at Chancellorsville, to l’eunsylva
uia, and Gettysburg* and back to the
Rappahannock. From the commence
ment of the campaign, in 1861, at Or

the saddle was scarcely off his back
when he passed through the fire of the
Wilderness, Spotsylvania, ('old Har

Day by day, ns failures occur and
stocks go down, it is a favorite thing
for the gold meu to attribute these
events to “free silver” and tell us this
is what it moans. Wait until free sil
ver comes and then judge it by its
works, liu' in the meantime, our ilear
gold standand friends, Lake your medi
cine. tun are not experiencing the ef
fects of the coming free silver, but are
experiencing the legitimate and inevi
table affects of parting with it in 1873.
Ihe hurt to silver, though thirty mil
lions a year, is but the “fly on the
wheel." When silver was thrown out
of its work as money, turned iuto a
commodity aud reduced in price year
by year by a constantly increasing and
appreciating gold standard, every other
product and commodity was broken
down with it. The whole base upon
which all the securities that Wall
street deals in, and b'llions mine than
do not come to Wall street at all, has
been undermined and crumbled by loss
of products on production, by low
prices brought on year by year bv the
growing “standard of value” that iu
1873 was substituted for our monetary
unit of silver. Wo have sown down low
prices m the foundation and aro reap
ing ibern iu the superstructure. We
are getting, not the coining of silver,
hut the legitimane ebbing in fuilure of
the gold policy. It has run us to the
limit in our basic operations, and now
the enormous and towering structure
of debt built upon labor, now profitless
labor, iB feeling the effect of weakened
foundations, that is all. Railroads cut-
ting rates until increased business only
means increased deficit, factories niliui,

to prevent deterioration of machinery
by idleness, the disorganizing of work

channels of trade boilt up during many
years aud now the most valuable part
of their capital, are all experiencing
what the gold policy has done fot them
and by and by they will attribute their
troubles to the true cause. When they
do there will bo a hoayy reckoning.
When silver comes rising prices will
set in, and slowly and surely wo shall
get hack to profit for production, good
times, solvency for all that has not pre
viously succumbed. But before that
time comes a good many industries and
interests will have perished by the way

The Devil’s Own liiiiigiittge,
John Wesley described the Chinese
language as an invention of the devil
to keep the missionaries out of China.
It has not altogether succeeded in keep*
ing thorn out, but it has made their
woik very dillicult and often ridicu-
I lons.
I)r. .J. K. Masters, one of the few
foreigners who haye acquired the lan
guage, tells of a missionary who was
explaining the gooduess of the Ileaveu
•y Lather. The word for heavenly is
teen, with au aspirate on the vowels.
The missionary left out the aspirate,
with the result that the word meant
“crazy.”
After Dr. Masters had studied Can
tonese a few months he endeavored to
preach a sermon. He wrote it out
carefully, but made so many blunders
in tones, vowel quantities and aspirates
that some of the Chinese remarked
how much the English language resem
bled the Chinese. They supposed ho
had been preaching in English.
On another occasion he meant to or
der a roast chicken, and told his cook
to go out and set lire to the street.
'lbeChine-e language has 44,700
characters in the standard dictionary.
There are moreover 700 distinct sounds
to each of which is attached a sort of
metrical scale, ranging from an octave
to an octave and a half, giving a varie
ty of tones which only a musical ear
can detect. The tone is all important.
For instance, the sound “tsung” may
mean grasshopper, oar, elephant, me
chanic or pickles, according to the tone.
Tut au aspirate into tho middle of the
word and it may mean examine, good
luck, wall, Bpear or gun and a variut*
tone given.
A man is a man only when the cor
rect tone is given. Change the tone
and the tuau becomes a nightingale, a
carrot and many other ridiculous
things.

Itlesseil are the I'ure in Heart.
In his sermon at the burial of the
late William Henry Smith, Rev. Ur.
Mc< lure, among other thiugs, said :
“But far beyond the mere matter of
my personal connection with Mr. Smith
stood his life aDd character as known
of us all. Several traits were remark
able. Oue was his purity of soul.
Soiled words and thoughts bad no
place in his heart. He never told a
story that was • indelicate. He never
said an irreverent thing. He mingled
with men of every shade of opinion; he
passed into every part of the country,
he attended every kiud of political
gathering, he gpeut many an hour
where social merriment was fed on
mecdote, but his fips refused to say
aught that would bruise the whiteness
of an angel’s wiug. The best things
of human life were always treated as
he best things. He wished for purity
and righteousness iu every printed
page.”
Of how many men can this he truth
fully said? Very few comparatively.
Y'et it would be a grand event for the
whole world if every man would pat
tern after William Henry Smith iu
this rtspect. —Augusta Chronicle.
