Brunswick Kicks.
We sympathize. with Brunswick in
her trouble with the East Tennessee
railway. The Times of yesterday has
this to say:
The Fast Tennessee railroad has
changed its schedules so that Brunswick
is left with but three freight trains over
that line, each way, a week. Hereto
fore we have had a daily train in and
one out, but now we are left with tri
weekly freights and the business men
generally rose up and made a grand kick
yesterday. They say there must be a
change. The schedule, as it now stands,
works greatly against our business in
terests. A car of freight, it it does not
happen to leave Macon at a certain
hour, is on the road from four to five
days before reaching here.
Brunswick’s wholesale men in filling
orders up the road are at a great disad
vantage.
The board of trade will promptly take
the matter in hand, and the Times will
use every effort in assisting that body to
secure a more satisfactory freight ser
vice.
Bright Spring Days.
The spring should be pre-eminently a
season of contentment, happiness and
hope. In these bright and pleasant
months the country should enjoy its
highest degree of tranquility and pros
perity. But spring, it is well known, is
often a period of discomfort and dis
turbance in the physical system. Im
portant organs of the body become tor
pid or irregular in their action, and the
fact is instantly reflected in the mental
condition of the individual. A disorder
ed liver means disordered nerves and a
dull and unsteady brain. Anything
which will bring the physical system
into harmony with budding Nature con
fers an enormous benefit upon the na
tion, besides the mere allaying of physi
cal discomfort. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
does this, as thousands of grateful men
and wemeu can testify, and increased
use of this standard spring medicine is
of more real practical importance in pro
moting health and quiet in the business
world than reams of abstract theorizing
The Wrong Tnrn.
Among the many stories told of ab
sent minded people, there is one about
the dreamy mother of a young American
which is well authenticated, but seems
almost incredible.
One evening when her son stopped at
the door of her room on the way to his
own, to deliver a message that had
been sent her, he discovered the old lady
in the pitchy darkness holding a match
under the cold water faucet.
When she “came to herself,” in re
sponse to her son’s hearty laugh, she
admitted that she had lighted five other
matches and treated them in the same

La Grippe.
During the prevalence of the Grippe
the past season it was a noticeable fact
that those who depended upon Dr.
King’s New Discovery not only had a
speedy recovery, hut escaped all the
troublesome after effects of the malady.

power in affecting rapid cures not only

New Orleans, La.—The crevasse
season is upon us. During the night a
leak occurred in Bayou Lafourche levee,
about half a mile above Lafourche cross
ing, on the west side. By dark to-night
it was fifty feet wide and sixteen feet
deep. No efforts have been made to
close the break up to to-night. The
water on the bayou has fallen six inches
in consequence of the leak. The track
of the Southern Pacific runs along the
bayou near this point, but is high graded
and in no danger. Another leak occur
red at Brooks’ mill, in the southeast
corner of Arkansas, about three miles
below the previous break. No great
danger may be felt, however, owing to
the heavy batture at the point and the
conformation of the lands in the rear.

chance, to get a suit of Clothes, a pair

The report that James Gordon Ben
nett had been forced to dispose of an in
terest in the New York Herald, on ac
count of losses sustained in the McKay-
Bennett Cable and London and Paris
edition of the Herald, has been proven
to be without foundation. No change
has taken place and so far as is known
none is contemplated.
The tall, the stout, the rich, the poor,
can all get bargains to fit them at the
great slaughter sale now going on at
Owens’, the Leading Clothier.
Stanton gives the following as the ex
perience of one of the Georgia Colonels
who went to Washington for an office:
“Just from Washington?”
“Yes.”
“Have any luck?”
“Lots. Boarded at a hotel, played
poker with a congressman, shook hands
with- the president and loaned a senator
$10.”

Money in Irish Potatoes,
Ms. Jos. S. Norton, the well known
truck farmer of Boston, Ga., is reported
as having “forty acres in Irish potatoes
from which he expects to gather 1,200
barrels of potatoes, or say that he allows
three bushels to the barrel, making
3,600 bushels. It is safe to say he will
realize $2,00 per barrel, thus making
the total reach $2,400 from 40 acres of
land, and that in potatoes.”
Mr. Norton’s success in growing cab
bage, beans, and other vegetables for the
Northern markets has been phenomenal;
but it show’s what energy and intelli
gent culture can accomplish.
If you are a hundred miles away and
want a suit of clothes it will pay you to
take a day off and come to Owens’ great
slaughter sale.
In order to pay expenses, the gate re-
receipts at the Columbian Fair will need
to exceed a daily average of $80,000 for
the 183 days from May 1 to Nnvember
1, Sundays included. That means 160,-
000 paid admissions each day, which is
about four times the average number up
to date.
Blue Middlesex suits for $8 80 at

Gen. B. W. Heard, one of the oldest

more clothes and better clothes for your
money than any one else.
