Atlanta, March"17.—Owing 'o the
failure to meet $2,000 interest on bonds
j due last June, the Marietta paper mills,
i one ot the largest concerns of its kind
in the south, and one of tho few which
j is said not to be controlled by the paper

A Gy s An on Pi wll.
London. March 19.—Neither the ad
vaiice by way of Fourteen Streams nor
( in nc. P.ummer’s movement have yet
r- sui:-d m bringing news of Mai'ekiug’s
relief. From Bloemfontein.and Natal
there are apparently no developments
and public mtere-ts remained centered
in Powell’s force, uudistracted by the
events of greater military importance.
However, it appears iikelv that the
movement of troops toward Mai'eking
in ucates much more serious purpose
than merely us relief, judging from
1,oni Methuen’s preseuca at Warreutown
and the capture of the nearby passage
of the Vaiu at Fourteen Streams. Keen
ci.M-rvers believe Lord Methuen has
made au advance iu force by way of
liu :euburg. This might start either
ir mi Fourteen Streams or Kierksdorp,
aim culd probably coincide with au
advance via B oemfouteiu and Natai.
Thus Lord Methuen may be given the
ehauce to retrieve ms reputation. Gen
eral Ouvecc has accomplished another
step iu nis retreat, evacuating Roux-
viile and going toward Kronstadt,
where President Steyu is.

SGROrULfl AND ITS AWFUL HORRORS
CURED BY
Johnston’s Sarsaparilla
QUART BOTTLES.
•A. MOST WONDERFUL CURE.
A Grand Old Lady Gives Her Experience.
Mrs. Thankful Orilla Hurd lives in the beautiful village of Brighton,
-fivingston Co., Mich. This venerable and highly respected lady was born in
the year 1812, the year of the great war, in Hebron, Washington Co., New
York. She came to Michigan in 1840, the year of “Tippecanoe and Tyler
too. All her faculties are excellently preserved, and possessing a very re
tentive memory, her mind is full of interesting reminiscences of her early
life, of the early days of the State of Michigan and the interesting and re
markable people she has met, and the stirring events of which she was a wit
ness. But nothing in her varied aud manifold recollections are more mar
velous and worthy of attention than are her experiences in the use of
JOHNSTON S SARSAPARILLA. Mrs. Hurd inherited a tendency and pre
disposition to scrofula, that terribly destructive blood taint which has cursed
and is cursing the lives or thousands and marking thousands more as vic
tims of the death angel. Transmitted from generation to generation, It is
found in neary every family in one form or another. It may make its ap
pearance in dreadful running sores, lu unsightly swellings in the neck or
goitre, or in eruptions of varied forms. Attacking the mucous membrane, it
may be known as catarrh in the head, or developing in the lungs it may be,
and oftbn is, the prime cause of consumption.
Speaking of her case, Mrs. Hurd says: “I was troubled for many years
with a bad skin disease. My arms anq limbs would break out in a mass of
sores, discharging yellow matter. My neck began to swell and became very
unsightly in appearance. My body was covered with scrofulous eruptions..
Mv eyes were also greatly inflamed and weakened, and they pained me very
much. My huood was in a very bad condition and my head ached severely
at frequent intervals, and I had no appetite. I had sores also in my ears, i
vas in a miserable condition, I bad tried every remedy that had been recom
mended. and doctor after doctor bad failed. One of the best physicians in
ilie state told me I must die of scrofulous consumption, as internal abeesses
v ere beginning to form. I at length was told of Dr. Johnston, of Detroit, and
bis famous sarsaparilla. 1 tried a bottle, more as an experiment than any
thing else, as I had no faith in it, and greatly to my agreeable surprise, I
began to grow better. You can be sure I kept on taking it. I took a great
many bottles. But I steadily improved until I became entirely well. All the
sores heaied up, all the had symptoms disappeared. I gained perfect health.
J have never been troubled with scrofula since. Of course an old lady
or 88 years is not a young woman, but I have had remarkablv good health
since then, and I firmly believe that JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA is the
greatest blood purifier and the best medicine in the wide world, both for
scrofula and as a spring medicine.” This remarkably interesting old lady did
not lob to be more than sixty, and she repeated several times, “I believe my
life was saved by JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA.”
