There being such a great demand
|for Fever remedies in this country,
I have been making a special study
of the different remedies used in
[malarial troubles ever since I have
been in the drug business. I de-
ermined last Fall upon putting up
[some preparation that would cure
[the majority of cases of Fever,
[Ague, Chills, etc., and that would
ke the place of a great number of
Northern and Western Fever and
;ue remedies, believing that one
this section is capable of
preparing something that is better
jt'or the peculiar class of fever and
the debilitating condition of the
system that prevails during the
[Summer months. I have far ex-
led my expectations— Last
[Spring I began to manufacture
JENNINGS’ FEVER TONIC.
[Since winch time I have put up
and sold several thousand bottles,

sort of way as if entirely unmind
ful of their presence: i The man
was in citizens* clotheB&nd for
what seemed a good reason. His
right arm had been amputated
at the elbow. I looke<\.him over
closely as he sat there, eves
half closed and kee^ngl time
with his foot, and I could not
say that I had ever seen him be
fore.
“Give us a song, Dutchy!’*
cried a dozen men in chorus,
after he had played a spell, and
lie at once complied. The first
verse ran as follows:
‘Oh, doan* you see my falling
tears?
Oh, doan* you know dat 1 vlias
sad?
Dot vhile you laugh and merry
vims,
No home I haf to make me glad.”
He had not yet finished it
when I was trying hard to re
member when and where I had
tomers had money in their
hands. This action seemed
queer if not suspicious, and I
followed him. In half an hour
I was certain that he was a spy
and had been making an esti
mate of our strength.
Without entirely losing sight
of the man I communicated mv
suspicions to the officer of the
day, and the result was an ar
rest. The man did not even
change countenances when he
found himself between the bay
onet, but inarched off as if such
affairs were down on his pro
gramme.
Upon reaching the guard
house he calmly submitted to a
thorough search of his pack and
person. This lasted a full hour
but we made no discovery of im
portance. The man denied that
he was ever north of the Old >
river, and claimed New Orleans
as his residence. He learned
the song from a vagabond musi
cian who visited that city, and
had sung it in hundreds of Con
federate camps since the war.—
There was absolutely no evi
dence against him, and he
would have been set at liberty
had I not entreated the officer
to give me until next day to look
up something to confirm my
suspicions.
I at once mounted my horse
and rode through all the adja
cent camps, and I found that
the man had visited every one
of them. He had certainly ta
ken in a whole corps in his
rounds and was heard of among
infantrv, artillery and even the
hospitals. As a peddler he
would have done this but as a
spy he would have done the
same thing. All the evidence

and seemed to have muds up
his mind to pay the penalty
without flinching. It was brief
work to try, convict and con
demn him, but he was never
executed. On the night before
his execution he died on his
blankets. Ho was in the full
vigor of health and years, hav
ing a hearty appetite and his
death has over remained a mys
tery. There was no wound of
any sort on his body, and of the
five surgeons summoned to in
vestigate all were certain that
he did not take poison of any
sort. After playing on his fid
dle for half an hour he lay
down o»i his blankets with the
remark that it was his last night
to sleep. A guard sat within
ten feet of him and saw him ap
parently fall into a sweet slum-

and were silent while he sang
the second verse:

Nopodv cares which way I go;

I was struggling like a prison

About G o’clock to-night two

Three thousand one hundred

any year since 1873. The chief

iu the south and in the Rocky

extensions weio attended to, but

was the one extending from Val

Town KtUers•
A Texas exchange, in descant
ing upon the test way to kill a
town^ises the following beautiful
language:
“A curse to any town is a popu
lation which is forever and eter
nally complaining. People who
arc always looking around them
for something to criticize and
condemn; who talk about noth
ing except imaginary evils and
fancied disadvantages by which
they liope to excuse their own
want of enterprise. They love to
descant upon every discouraging
feature, and never seem to observe
i he blessings and advantages by
which they arc surrounded. They
delight in magnifying every possi
ble evil, and in suppressing every
good which may, when properly
appreciated, far more than com
pensate for the supposed evils and
obstacles which loom up like
mountains in their disordered
imaginations. Let a stranger
come into such a town, and in
stead of encouraging him to buy
property and locate, they spare no
means in their possession to drive
'him away by holding up the most
horrible, ghioray and discouragiug
picture. If a few bales of cotton
go through the tow*n in quest of a
few cents more on the hundred
than their merchants feci able to
give, they are ready to proclaim to
the world that the trade of their
town is rapidly being taken away
and absorbed by rival towns in the
country, and practically throw up
the sponge.
They contribute nothing to
public enterprises, such .as

far toward attracting immigra
tion from the intelligent and
progressive class of people, and
go into spasmotics whenever a
proposition is submitted to raise
a small amount by municipal
taxation for public purposes.—
When they go abroad, instead
of praising their town, its people
and its institutions, they pro
claim their demerits- to the
world, and then wonder how it
is that their town does not pros
per. Such people never suc

and they may be classed us so

true sense of that term, and a
