VOL XXII.
The Cheapest. Purest and Best Family
Medicine in the World I
For DYSPEPSIA, CONSTIPATION. Jaun
dice, Bilious attacks, SICK. IILADACHE, Colic,
Depression of Spirits, SOUR STOMACH,
Heartburn, etc. This unrivalled remedy is
warranted not to contain a single particle of
Mercury, or aay mineral substance, but it
PURELY VEGETABLE,
containing those Southern Roots and Herbs
which an all-wise Providence has 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 ir» 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 or
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 < sense, 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:
Gen. W. S. Holt, Pres. Ga. S. \V. R. R. Co.; Rev.
I. R. Felder. Perry, Ga.; Col. E. K. Sparks, Al

Ga.; Hon. Alexander H. Stephens.
“We have tested its virtues, personally, and
know that for Dyspepsia, Biliousness and
Throbbing Headache it is the!. stmedicine the
world eve rsaw. We tried forty other remedies
before Summons Liver Regulator, butnonegave
us more than temporary relief; but the Regu
lator not only relieved, but cured us.”—BIX

The Family Pocketbook.
The issues flowing, or failing to flow,
from the family pocketbook have made
more misery than war, pestilence, fam
ine, and as much happiness as religion.
The family pocketbook has made
more criminals than any other one
cause excepting whiskey. It has caus
ed more early deaths than any other
agency. If the honest obituary was
put upon the tombstones of oue half
the married women who die untimely
deaths it would be, “Died for want of
an independent 25 cents.”
A large part of the thieves are made
so from pre natal influences.
ASK the recovered
dyspeptics, bilious
isufferers, victims of
Jfever and ague, the
mercurial diseased
patient, how they re
cove red h ealthjCh c e r
ful spirits and good
appetite; they will tell
|you by taking SlM
faion’s Liver Regu
lator.
I met a beautiful mother in a West
ern State whose first born, a son, was
serving time in the peuiteutiary. She
spoke so tenderly of him, yet told how
he was a thief from pre-natal iuflu
ences. Her husband was a well to-do
eminently respectable man. But his
wife could never have a penny without
frowns or bitter words from him, no
matter how necessity her demauds for
money. She dreaded a family fued,
yet the little stranger would be in need
of apparel upon its arrival in the world
The mother secured the necessary
funds by taking a few peuuies out of
her husbtud's pocketbook each night
as he slept, and the babe was born a
thief. The wile of a Methodist minis
ter was my guest, at one time, when
a dear old man, who had the gift of
having three hands, a right, left and
always a little behind hand, came, as
he was often wont to do, to borrow a
few dollars that he might pay off his
employes that afternoon. The good
old sole had no commercial standing,
but be was honest. The business
world is not tender to such as he when
adversity or pay waits upon them. So
he came to me, a woman. Aster a
few words of explanation I turned to
my desk, wrote a note, which he signed,
and drew a check for SIOO. My guest
looked amazed and exclaimed, “There,
that is my idea of heaven, when a mar
ried woman can draw a check for that
amount without asking a man about
it.”
Woman is the great unpaid partner
in tbe matrimonial union. Man may
raise wheat, but it is of little value un
til woman’s hand has made it into
bread. She is as much an earner as
is he.
I quote a model family example. A
young couple started life together with
out an inheritance, but with education,
ambition and clean lives. The young
wife had been a teacher, and was used
to financial independence. She had a
perfect understanding with her lover
before marriage that all financial affairs
should be made a matter of kindly and
joint consideratian between them, for
she had “boarded round,” and had
seen a great deal of family misery on
account of the pocketbook and its coj
tents being in the hands of the man.
It was arranged that, as the husband
was to be the home maker and sbe the
home keeper, that each six months the
busbaud should take his wife to his
place of business and show her his
books, and tell her his financial condi
tion. This has always been religious
ly done. If expenditures were too
much or too little, the next six months
outlays were ad baud’s commercial
standing as he is and be says that she
has always been his safest business
adviser. So will any wife be if the
proper confidence is reposed in her.
Married man ! if you are in the habit
of handing money to your wife in a
grudging manner and growling out
“What did you do with the dollar I
gave you last week?” put yourself in
her place and quit your meaunesss. —

The Georgia Peach.
The Perry Journal sheds some light
on the Georgia peach in the following
narrative:
“Several days ago one of the most
prominent and reliable citizens of
Houston county made some remarks m
our presence that were a revelation
concerning peach propagation. Con
cerning the peach that has gained
abounding reputation for this section
of Georgia and much money for one
man and some for others, he said: ‘The
Elberta peach is not the result of per
sottal skill in fruit propagation, but is a
seedliug, a native of Houston county,
known and valued here before the war
between the states.’ He further says
the best specimens of the famous Li
beria peach have not been the pro
duct of grafted or budded trees pro
pagated in nurseries, but from seedling
trees grown in the eastern portion of
Houston county. This same citizen
says the seeds from one tree can be
made to produce several varieties of
peaches, including early aud late bear
ers, free and cling stones.
“The theory is that the seed from a
full ripe peach will give a tree from
which late free stone peaches will be
gathered. From the same parent tree
a seed from early cling stone peach.
From the same parent the seed from a
half ripe peach will produce an early
peach. He does not vouch for the ex
act correctness of this theory, hut says
it is founded upon the expeiieuce of an
expert in horticulture of years ago and
is demoustrated by the iudisputable
fact that all trees from a seedling peach
tree do not produce like fruit. All
this we commend to the consideration
of experienced peach growers, aud the
assertion concerning the Elberta peach
we leave to Mr. S. H. ltumph, the
propagator of that famous peach, to
contradict or allow to stand, as be sees
fit. This, gentleman does not deny
that Mr. Sam H. Humph propagated a
peach that he calls Elberta, which has
earned him fame and money, but he
does claim that the native Houston
peach of the same color and shape was
and is of superior size, form and flavor;
that within the last few years the finest
Elberta peaches ever shipped north
were gathered from a native tree and
that these same natives have been ship
ped north as wild peaches, commanding
unbounded admiration and fancy
prices.”
If you’re in doubt whether your
troubles is Indigestion or Dyspepsia,
just take a few doses of Simmons Liv
er Regulator it will settle the whole
question. “I have tried Simmons
Liver Regulator for Dyspepsia and
find it just the thing to relieve me. A
small dose after meals is sure to pre
vent Indigestion.” —S. S. Perkins,
Sharon, Ga. “It is the best medicine
to aid digestion.”—J. J. Black, Dun’
can, Arizona.
Peafowls as Sentinels.
John Keller has set an example in
the doing away of dogs on bis planta
tion, says the DeKalb New Era, that
would be a great saving to Georgia if
his plan was uuiversa'ly followed.
His experience is that one peafowl
is worth a dozen dogs against the mid
night maurauder. It is next to impos
sible for a stranger to enter a yard at
night where there are peafowls without
arousing the inhabitants. Guineas are
also good sentinels at night, but are
Dot so good as peafowls. The guineas
are much better than dogs, though,
and we hope soon to see them take the
place of the worthless curs in the yards
of those who do not take to peafowls.
If we could trace Dyspepsia to its
source, it would lead back to our
kitchens. In fact, the secret of good
health is good cookiug. If well cook
ed, foods are partially digested; if
poorly cooked, they are less digestible
than in their raw state. II you are a
victim of faulty cooking; that is, if you
suffer from Dyspepsia, tbe rational cure
must be looked for in an artificially
digested food and a food which will at
the same time aid the digestion of otb
foods. Such a preparation virtually
rests the tired digestive organs, there
by restoring them to their natural
strength.
The Digestive Cordial, a* prepared
by the Shakers nf Mount Lebanon, is
just Bach a preparation, and a single
10 cent bottle will convince you of its
value. If your druggist doesu’t keep
it. he will be glad to get it through his
wholesale bouse.

Obeyed Orders.
An Irish member of the Sixth regi
ment of South Carolina Infantry was
stationed on the beach of- Sullivan's
Isiaud, with orders to WS.IS between
two specified points and to lea no one
wass without giving the countersign.
He was one of those soldiers who be
lieved in obeying orders to a letter.
Two hours after Hugh had thus been
stationed, the corporal with the relief
appeared in the moonlight and was
astonished to see Hugh walking to and
fro up to his waist in water. The tide
had come in.
“Who goes there 1” demanded the
sentinel.
“Relief,” answered the corporal.
“Halt, relief! Advance and give
the countersign.”
“But lam not coming there to be
drowned. Come out and let me relieve
you.”
“Never a hit,” said Hugh. “The
lifteuant told roe not to leave me post.”
“Well, then,” said the corporal
starting to move away, “you may
stay there all night.”
“Halt!” thundered the sentry. “I’ll
put a hole in ye if you pass without
the countersign,” and he cocked aud
loveled the gun.
“Confound you and the lieutenant,"
answered the corporal. “Everybody,
will hear it if it out to you.”
“Yis, me darlin’, aud the liftenant
said it must be given in a whisper. In
with ye; me finger’s on the trigger.”
There was nothing for the corporal
to do but to wade out where the faith
ful sentinel stood.

well you’ve come! The dbirty tide
has almost drowned me.”—Columbia

Forgiveness.
Life is too brief to be wasted in use
less wranglings between man and his
fellow '1 here is si much of active
earnest business lying ahead of every
mortal in life’s allotted three score and
ten (alas, how few ever attain il) tn
allow of animosity and hate. “If pos
sible, the church creed says, “live in
peace with all men.” The Great
Teacher who has the embodiment of
divinity and perfect humanity, in His
sermous and private instructions among
His disciples and followers, uuequivo
cally taught the doctrine of peace aud
good will among men of all classes
Says He: “If thine enemy hunger,
feed him ; if he thirst, give him drink,
for in so doing you will heap coals of
fire upon bis bead.” No mortal
can long withstand the law of kindness.
When asked by one of the apostles
how long an erring brother should be
forgiven, he replied : “Not only seven
times, but uutil seventy times, or so
long as lie repented and asked for
givtness,” thus showiog the infinity of
divine forbearance and tender mercy.
What a wonderful latitude of hope for
erring mortals! How it is that men,
with such a leson of forgiveness before
them, cau go on hating each other is
one of life’s enigmas. “A contented
mind is a contented feast, but no mind
swayed by malice and hate can ever
realize the calm serenity of peace, so
long as it is dominated by the revenge
ful spirit of hate.
If possible, live in peace with all
men ; if not possible, let the fault lie
at the doors of others, and not at yours.

A lawyer in a court room may call
a man a liar, as coundrel, a villain, or a

when court adjourns. If a newspaper
prints such a reflection on a man’s

editor This is owing to the fact that
the people believe what an editor says;
what the lawyer says cuts no figure.—

By the time he reached the theatre
it was pretty full; so was he. But he

She said it with startling emphasis,
and the handsome hotel clerk promptly
rose from his seat, took up his hat and
overcoat, and saying in a very loud
voice, “Well, that settles it,” retraced
his steps to the aisle, while the audi

Absolutely pure
A SCOURGE OK LA GRIPPE.
Is Raging Everywhere, Devastating
City, Town and Country Alike.
Nothing equal to it has ever been
known. We have had la grippe be
fore in this country in several well
defined epidemics, but not as we are
having it now. Everybody, every
where, has it, has had it or is expecting
to have it. In every paper we read of
it. Every oue we meet speaks of it.
Perhaps the worst feature about la
grippe is that it is almost sure to leave
consequences behind it which are far
worse than the original disease. But
it could not have been otherwise than
that some things have been learned,
during these sieges with la grippe.
Untold thousands have learned these
things but a still greater multitude
perhaps have these things yet to learn.
First, that Peru na taken before
each meal and at bedtime will protect
any one from having la grippe. Sec
ond, that Pe-runa takeu every hour
during the acute stage of la grippe will
shorten its duration and preveut the
long train of disagreeable consequences
which follow the acute attack. Third,
that in cases where Pe ru-na lias not
been used during the acute stage and
the victim finds himself dragging out
a miserable existence from the damage
to bis system accomplished by lagrippe
he has only to take Peru na according
to the directions on the bottle to real
ize a speedy and complete cure. 'The
explanation of this is that la grippe is
epidemic catarrh. Peru na will cure
catar-h of rvety variety and stage.
Therefore it will cure la grippe, which
is simply the epidemic variety of acute
catarrh. During such a winter as this
no one should be without a copy of
Dr. Hartman's latest book which treats
fully of la grippe, acute catarrh, chron
ic catarrh, coughs, colds, bronchitis,
consumption aud all other climatic dis
eases of winter. Sent free to any

An Karly Season Whopper.
It is told that quite a remarkable oc
currence happened at the Triou (Ga.)
cotton mills. Just before quitting
time in the afternoon that portion of
the mills which is propelled maiuly by
water pawer was shut down because of
some deficiency in the power. The
watei in the forebay was shut off and
workmen were sent down to examine
the large turbine wheels to ascertain
the cause of the trouble. When the
men got down to their work their as
tonishment may well be imagined when
it was found that the powerful wheels
which run under a fourteen foot head,
were literally choked down with an
immense swarm of eels. Many too
large to get through the wheel gates
were taken out, and bow many smaller
ones there were that got away no one
knows. The eels weighed 278 pounds.
A country newspaper man’s work

job all the year round and never hopes
for a change. His weekly inheritance
comes in the following form; “Your

I here were five of ub who got to the
crossing of Kaw river at the same time
and we found the old scow which did
duty as a ferryboat on the far side,
with the ferryman dangling his bare
feet in the water and evidently taking
things easy.
“Say, you ! called a cowboy from
our side.
“Wall, what is it?”
“We want to cross over.”
“Yes, guess ye do.”
“Come on with the scow.”
“1 don’t have to till I get ready.”
“When will you get ready !”
“Can’t tell.”
It was evident that we had bumped
up agaiust an eccentric character, and
as no one was in a hurry we waited
patiently for him to take his time.
After fifteen or twenty minutes he
called:
“Mebbo ye hain’t heard the news!”
“\\ hat is it?” asked the cowboy,
who had been delagated to do the talk*
ing on our side.
“The price for gittin’ over used to
be a quarter, but it has riz.”
“What is it now?”
"Half a dollar.”
“And I’ve some news for yon !”
“Wall!”
“The price of cartridges used to be
50 cents a box, but they’ve come down
to a quarter, and I kin afford to waste
a dozen or so.”
“Shooting at what?”
“At you! I’ll give you five minutes
to nuke a start!”
“Kin you plunk that?” asked the
ferryman as he held up his hat on a
stick.
“You bet!” replied the cowboy, as
he sent two bullets through it.
“That’s null, and I’ll come over!
This is my bluffin’ day, and I hate to
