The Cheapest. Purest and Best Taniily
Medicine In the World!
For nVSIT.PSIA, CONSTIPATION, Jaun
dice, 1 >:liousattacks, SICK Ui3 \ DAP HK, ( >
Depression of Spirits, M >1 ; R * STO.YI At. ti,
Heartburn, etc. This unrivalled remedy is
warranted not to contain a smyie particle of
Mfc.Kc.UKV, or any mineral substance, but is
PURELY VEGETABLE,
containing those Southern Hoots 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 in the mouth; Pain i’i the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu
matism; Sour Stomach; Loss of Appetite;
Bowels alternately costive ami 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 M;in and lives, a dry
Cough often mistaken for Consumption.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend
the disease, at others verv few; but the Ll\ i.R
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 virtues of Simmons Liver Regulator:
Pen. W. S. Holt, Pres. Ga. S. \Y. R. R. Co.; Rev.
J. R. 1-elder. Perry, Ga.; Col. K. K. Sparks, Al

Ga.; lion. Alexander 11. 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 fort y other remedies
bef< >re Simmons Liver Rwjulator, but none gave
us more than temporary relief; but the Regu
lator not only relieved, but cured us." Lu.

Or. Catulleroii the Situation.
I)r. Warren A. Gaudier, president
of Lmoiy College, who is known to bo
.■tie of the strongest advocates of pro
liibitiou iu the State, hail the following
to say to a correspondent of the Atlan I
ta Journal who asked him if he would
appear in the gubernatorial campaign
on behalf of lion. Seaborn Wright:
“Kmpha'ically no. 1 ,un a prohibi
tionist and have been all my life. 1 be
lieve in and practice of total abstiuance.
Hut as I see it, a minister of the gos
pel cannot with propriety take part iu
party politics. I have studiously
avoided all such participation iu party
politics since 1 began preaching, and I
was a preacher three years before I
was old enough to vote.
“1 was never more annoyed tbau
when, pending the Evans-Atkinson
campaign, a private remark elicited by 1
a question of my friend, Mr. Thos.
Cobh, was taken up by a t reporter
standing by and printed with enlarge
meuts, unless it was when a note seut
iu correction next day was denied pub
lication.
When prohibition is presented as
an issue seperately,” continued the
doctor, “when it is non partisan prohi
bitiou disassociated from persons and
parties—l see no impropriety in a
preacher urging its adoption; but when
entaugled w'ith party issues aud mixed
with questions as to the relative .fitness
of persons for office, ho cannot with
propriety have anything to do with the
matter.
“I have a ministry to men of all
parties and that ministry’ ,is more to
me than anything else I can do in this
world 1 will not place between my
self and its accomplishment any needless
banier. The miuister of God is like
the church of God, he must seek to
save.men of all parties in all places.
Mr. Westly said, ‘The world is my
parish,’ aud the world includes meu of
all parties.
“Alorever, as a piohibitiouisc, I feel
that the cause is best promoted by non
partisan methods,” he continued. “Hy
such methods it was placed over Maine
and so it has been placed over nearly
all of Georgia. By such methods we
will one day see all of Georgia under
prohibition. I believe we are iu sight
of that now. Since the registration
law went into effect every local optiou
election held in Georgia has resulted
in v : ctory for the dry side, if I remem
ber correctly. The anti bar-room bill
has good promise of adoption.
“I dare say a majority of the white
people of Georgia are for prohibition
whether Democrats, Populists or Re
publicans, and I think it would be un
fortunate for the cause of prohibition
to be identified with the fortunes of
any party, nor do I believe it can be
so identified by any action of any par
ty. _
Its Value Kecognizled by Physicians.
Asa rule lam opposed to proprie
tary medicines. Still I value a good
o-i 3, especially when such is the source
of relief from pain. As a topical (ex
ternal) application I have found Cham
berlain’s Pain Halm the best remedy
I have ever used for neuralgia of any
kind. 1 have conscientiously recom
mended it to many persons. William

Globe of Salt Larger Than the Moon.
According to the computations of
\l. Marlborough, of the Geographical
and Statistical Society of Paris, the
amouut af salt contained iu the waters
of the vorious oceaus aud salt seas of
the globe would be greated in mass
thau the land, so far as it extends
above the surface of the waters The
seas cover seventy three per cent
of the earth’s surface, estimated at 9,-
260,000 square mile’s. The parceu
tage ot salt is the same at all depths.
Assuming that the average depth of all
seas and oceaus is Imt a half mile (it is
probably more than that) then there
are not less thau 3,400,000 cubic miles
of sea water ou the globe. Thousands
of tests of sea water have recently
been made, and as a result of th-'se
different analysis it is now positively
known tbat a cubic mile of sea water
contains at hast twenty five kilograms
of salt. This being the case, we fiud
that the total amount of salt contained
iD 3,400,000 cubic miles of sea waters
on the globe would be aqual to 85,000
cubic miles of pure distilled salt.
Years ago Baron Humboldt declared
that the salt in the waters of our oceans
could it be extracted, would make a
globe larger than the moon.

Ducked a Peeping Toiu.
New Hrunswick, N. J., Aug. 23.
Five pretty young women who caught
a curious young matt peeping at them
while they were bathing in Mauuplan
creek, near Old Bridge, yesterday af
ternoon, chased the peeper and, drag
ging him iuto the water, taught him a
lesson that he will always remember.
The girl* were Martha Bobbins, Ag
ties Thayer and Sadie S. Hickman,
farmer’s daughters, and Madge and
Jennie Ilachett, sisters, from New
York, who are boarding at the Bobbins
tarm. For several weeks the girls
have enjoyed the delights of bathing
iu a secluded swimming hole in the
creek, far from the road, where no one
could disturb them. Two of the girls,
who could swim, would not be ham
pered with bathing suits yesterday,
and, having no fear of intrusion, left
their clothes on a grass bank and bold
ly plunged iu the water.
The young women were enj >ying
themselves in the water, little dreaming
that Samuel Hudlong, a young work
man on the Hickman farm, was peep
ing at them through the bushes on the
other side of the creek. He had
heard their merry laughter from a
near-by field and, anxious to get a
peep at the girls, had sneaked to the
hank. The girls never would have
known it at all, probably, bad not
Hudlong, in his eagerness to get a good
view of of the living pictures, leaned
too hard against a bush, which gave
way with a cracking noise.
Wheu the girls looked up iu surprise
they saw Budlong scrambling up the
bank, down which he had fallen when
the bushes gave way. For a moment
the girls were too startled to move.
Then, realizing that the man had been
peeping at them, the three girls who
wore bulling suits gave chase. Hud
long, in hasty flight, fell over a log,
aud before be could scramble to his
feet again the girls had seized him
aud carried him to the swimming pool,
where they ducked him.
Miss Hickman told her father about
his farm hand’s action, and Mr. Hick
man, going to the barn, took a horse
whip from a buggy and whipped Bud
long-. The latter has disappeared.
Several years ago I was taken with
a severe attack oi flux. I was sick in
bed about ten days and could get noth
ing to relieve me until I used Cham
berlain’s Colic, Cholora and Diarrhoea
Remedy, which cured ine and has been
a household remedy with us ever since.

Peach Leaves For Hog Cholera.
Says an exchange: During an ex
perience of twelve years I have no re
collection of ever seeing hogs die of
cholera when they had access to a
peach orchard. They will eat every
leaf they can get, and large hogs will
Dreak down aud ruin small peach trees
to get the leaves and young twigs.
They will also crack and eat the ker
nels of all the peach seed they cau get,
and such are always healthy.
I believe that if tbe farmers of the
South will plant large peach orchards,
aud enclose them so that they can pas
ture them with their hogs, they will
have no sick hogs; and when they can’t
pasture their orchards, make peach
leaf tea and make a mash about
once a week with the tea and corn
meal, or chops and wheat bran, and
feed so that ail their hogs will get a
good feed of this, and they will find their
hogs looking well aud in good health.
This treatment will keep hogs clear of
worms of all kinds, and when this is
the case hogs are healthy. Try this,
brother farmers, and watch the result.
Iu a recent letter to the manufactur
ers Mr. W. F Benjamin, editor of the
Spectator, Rushford, N. Y., says: “It
may be a pleasure to you to know the
high esteem in which Chamberlain’s
medicines are held by the people of
your own state, where they must be
best known. An aunt of mine, who
resides at Dexter, lowa, was about to
visit me a few years since, and before
leaving home wrote me, asking if they
were sold here, stating if they were not
she would bring a quantity with her, as
she did not like to be without them.”
Tbe medicines referred to are Cham
berlaiu’s Cough Remedy, faun us for
j its cures of colds and croup; Chamber
lain's Paiu Balm for rheumatism, lame
back, pains in the side and chest, and
: Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and

He Did Not Know the Etiquette of It.
1 had ovt rtaken »u old far
iner iu the road, and as we jogged along
together we turned a beud and came
upon eight or 10 men. who bad a j»n»
oner in their midst, and were making
preparations to hang him to the limb
of a tree.
“Here—what’s all this?" asked* the
old man, as we came to a halt.
“Coin’ to hang the cuss!” was the
brief reply.
“What fur?”
“Stealiu’ that boss over thar’.”
The “boss over thar’ ” was tied to a
tree aud the farmer took a iook at him
aud then at the prisoner, and asked of
the latter:
“Say, didn’t you come along t» my
place this moruiug?”
“Yes," was the reply.
“Aud didn’t I sell you that boss fur
*30?”
“Yes.”
“I am sure 1 did. How does it come
about, then, that they ar’ goiu’ to hang
you fur boss stealiu’?”
“I duuno.”
“He bought that hoss of you, did
he?” asked the leader of the baud, who
was arranging the noose.
“He surely did, and no doubt lie’s
got my bill of sale in his pocket. . Yes;
I sold him that critter at 8 o’clock this
morning. My name's Thompsou, and
I guess some of you know me.
“Look ahere! exclaimed the leader
as he turned on the prisoner, “did you
buy that hoss?”
“Yes.”
“And you’ve got a bill of sale?"
“Y’es.”
“Then why in blazes diu’t you say
so when we run you down a Torse
thief?”
“Wall,” replied the man, as hg look
ed around and yawned, as if bored with
the proceedings, “1 haiu’t biu in this
keutry but three or four days, and 1
didn’t know what the custom was.”
They hauled him off his feet .twice
just to make him acquainted with the
ways of the couutry and then rode off

Hung the Free Trader.
A well kuown Washington politician
made a trip recently through south
western West Virginia in order to as
certain the sentiment of that section,
says the Washington Star.
In Logan county, on Panther creek,
he found an old man, whom he inter
viewed as follows:
“Are the men here takiug much iu
serest iu the campaign this year?”
“Right smart.”
“How are they going to vote?”
“Agiu’ the fed’ral co’t.”
“How are they on the money ques
tion?”
“Don’t know nothin’ ’bout it. What
they want is ter keep ther laud in the
King cast. That feller King is arter
all th’ lan’ hyar. Aiu’t never no mon
ey here, an’ we don’t keer much ’bout
no questions as to it.”
“How about the tariff?”
“The what?”
“Are there any free tradeig in your
district?”
“No. I reckon not. Thar was cue
las’ v’ar, but they cotcbed ’im. He'd
been tradin’ bosses free all ’round hyar.
Sol’ one o’ mine to a feller down th’

A mousti-r steer, which is owned by
Mr. (Jiarles Payne, a dealer iu wild
animals and curios, at Wichita, K tit .
is attracting the aUemiott of the cu
I rtnus.
Mr Payne came into possession of
the animal, now three years old, aboui
six months ugo. Its growth since that
time has been phenomenal and the
question is asked .Mr. Payne many
times a day: “When is it ever going to
stop growing?”
The steer is now six feet uud four
inches high aud eleveu feet long, or
seventeen feet long counting from the
tip of its tail.
U weighed ouly 1800 pounds three
mouths ago. Its' present weight is
2300 pounds, aud if it coutinucs to
grow as it has in the past six months,
it wilt some day he as big as a full
grown elephant.
Cattlemen pronounce it one of the
greatest freaks known iu the stock line.
They say it will continue to grow uutil
it is seven or «ight years old, uud that
when it is fully grown it will have at
tained a weight of from four to six
thousand pounds.
The giant is perfectly symmetrical
iu its development, ami is colored and
marked like a Jersey.
Mr. Payne has not offered it for sale
uud says he tutends to wait and see
how big it gets.

Divination in the W nterinelon.
“I can read character by the way
people eat watermelon, too,” said the
young woman who understood palmis
try.
Everybody at the table stopped eat
iug with a guilty air, and looked at
the young woman who understood
palmistry “You.” she said to the
young man on her right, “are a person
of orderly habits. I kuow because you
make a clean cut of the melon the
whole length of the slice, as close to
the rind as you intend to go, and then
begin at one end and take the melon
out in eveu blocks. And you,” she
said went ou, turning to the mau on
the other side of her, “do just the re
verse. You cut out a cube here and
au oblong thete and it leaves the re
tnaining part looking rough and jagged.
I will veuture to say from that that
yout office desk is piled up with letters
and papers and hooks and one thing
and another two feet deep.”
Tlien she looked across the table.
“You,” she said, “always want the
best of everything and are not over
saving. 1 can tell that because you do
not eat your melon down close to the
rind. You leave a good, wide margin
of red on the green, because you don’t
like that part of the melon so well as
the heart. If you were of frugal hab
its you would eat everything close down
to the green. As for myself, you see
that i -ihow ray prudence and foresight
by cutting off the heart first and then
keeping it to eat last, because it is the
best part of the melon. The rest of
you don’t think übiut that, and you
eat the best first ami keep the poorer
part till the last, wheu you will not
have so good an appetite.
And i-uch is the terror of being found
out, on the part of good and had peo
pie alike, that for the next week every
bod yat that tnble tried to eat his water
melon in some unusual way.

Hob Taylor is making a rattling
campaign in Tennessee for Governor.
Me mixes fun and philosophy in his
speeches. Here is his latest story:
“The dinner horn tooted one hot
summer day, aud there was great re
joicing among the darkies in the cotton
fields. Old Uncle Nicodemus said to
his son:'“Ephriham, git on dat mule
an’ ride ’in to de house.”
“Excuse me, fader,” said Ephriham,
“dat mewl fluug me ober er apple tree
yißtiddy, au’ I ain’t a gwine ter hab
any more conguljtus wid kirn.”
“Well staud back,” the old man
said, “youah ole fader kiu ride him.
Is sptse to see or nigger afrod of a
mewl.”
The old man mounted. The mule
threw herself into the shape of a rain
bow and began to buck and kick.
Uncle Niekodcmus went into the air
aud camu down on his head with a
crash, aud got up rubbing the plowed
ground out of his ears, eyes aud mouth
and Baid:
