1 have been a practical druggist in Tyler
for a number of years, and in that time
have had occasion to examine, try, and no
tice the eflect of nearly all the highly
recommended preparations or patent med
icines on the market, and as 1 have suf
fered untold misery myself, the past num
ber of years, from a severe form of inflam
matory rheumatism, and could find noth
ing to cure or relieve me, I had almost
drawn a conclusion that all patent medi
cines were frauds until about one year
ago, I was induced by
ployed Joe B. Alexander, an attorney of

trial of Hayes for tlie offense was had at

greeably demonstrative, whereupon Mar

A syndicate of Decatur county have

barbed wire fence, and w ill be one of the
largest pear groves in tlie world. A can
ning factory and drying house will be

berry, Jr., had occasion to visit his store,

lighting a lamp lie saw his notes and pa
pers in confusion on the floor. Just then
the bar of the back door dropped and lie

Mr. L. D. W eaver of Camden, N. J.
visited Sandersville last week, and called
on the clerk of the superior court for in
formation about large bodies of wild land,
some 20,000 acres, which he had recently
purchased in Washington county. Hav
ing become a large land owner iu Middle
Giorgia, he naturally felt inclined to in
spect his timbered estate, with a view to
development. It is hardly necessary to
add that the gentleman found that he had
been made the victim of a hnge fraud by
a wildcat land agent. Clerk Mayo says
he has received hundreds of letters of in
quiry from parties in the North, East and
West who have invested in mythical tracts
of wildland in that section.

A lady friend of mine has for several
years been troubled with bumpe and
pimples on her face n d neck, for which
she used various cosmetics in order to re
move them and beautify and improve her
complexion; hut these local applications
were only temporary and left her skin in
a worse condition.

trace of tlie disease left, and all effected by
the magic healing properties of B. B. B.,
which I consider the grandest, purest and
most powerful blood remedy known to
man. I have been subject to inflammato
ry attacks since ten years of age, and tip
to the present time have had four. The
last spell eatne on me in November 1885,
over a year ago, at which time I was con
fined to my bed f»r eight weiks, passing
the nights in misery, with no sleep except
when produced by narcotics and various
opiates. The week previous to using B. B.

mcalsfand could scarcely sit up without
support: hut after using three bottles I
was able to relish my meals anil to walk
up town, and after six bottles had been
used, thank heaven I was entirely cured,
and not the slightest pain felt sinco that
time. When I returned to business in
February, my weight was 115 pounds, but
gradually increased until my regular
weight was again attained, 210 pounds.

Some fire or six months ago, says tlie
Elbcrton Star, a man driving an ox-eart in
which was a woman and a few pieces of
furniture, stopped on the outskirts of EI-
berton and inquired for a house to rent.
He found one, moved into it, and went to
work for Mr. Mickle under the name of
Bill Williams. Williams seemed to be a
hard working man, but his actions towards
his wife seemed to he very dictatorial and
caused the workmen to suspect that he and
his wile were not all right. William* and
his wife lived together for about two or
three months, when it was announced that
Mrs. Williams was on avisittoher mother.
Williams in about a week after his wife
left sold out his furniture, saying that his
wife had died in Alabama. He went to
boarding with Mr. Bohannon and in less
than a week lie commenced to .pay atten
tion to Mr. Bohannon’s sister-in-law Miss
Annie Mc3uflie, and in a short time pro
posed and was accepted. Mr. Bohannon
objected, and told Sties SIcGuflie to not
marry him until be found out something
about the man. She seemingly consented
hut Mr. Bohannon saw that they wanted
to marrv, and to separate them, refused to
board him any longer. Last ilonday Mr.
Williams went to the livery 6tablo and
hired a carriage, drove by Mr. Bohannon’s,

slightest benefit. Indeed, I continued to

taken it. Respectfully, ete.,

From the Journal of Education.
A very uwGS sumbtrf I- 142jS57. which
multiplied bv 1, 2,3, 4, 5 or 6, gives the
same tigifrea in the same order, beginning
at a different point: but if multiplied by 7
gives all nines; multiplied by I it equals
112.857, multiplied by 2 equals 285,714.
multiplied by 3 equals 428,751, multiplied
hy 4 tquali 571,428, multiplied by 5,
714, 285, multiplied by G equals 857,142,
multiplied by 7 equals 990,901*. Multiply
142,857 by 8 and you have 1,142,856. Then
add the first figure to the last and you
have 142,857, the orignal number, the
figures exactly the same as at the start.
Another mathematical wonder is the
following: It is discovered that the mul
tiplication of 987654321 by 45 gives*
44, 44, 44, 44, 44, 45. Reversing the orJer
of the digeta and multiplying 1 2 3 4 5 0
7 8 9 by 45 we get a roiult equally curious,
5, 555, 555, 505. 11 we take 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8 9 ah the muliiplican, and interchanging
the figures of 45 take 54 as the multiplier,
6, 666, 666, 006. Returning to the multi
plicand, 9 s 7 6 5 \ 3 2 1, an l taking 54 as
the multiplier again we get 53,333,333,
334 —all ‘M except the first
and last figures, which together
read 54, the multiplier. Taking the same
multiplicand and 27, the half of 5-1, as the

Women must learn to preach. They
must learn that win it? uiea have heart: if
soft as their own, they carry them between
shells as an ovster does his whole incor
poration, and that shell closes {is surely
upon a sermon as the other kind does on a
stick. We all knowhow women are hound
to marry men that they do not really ap
prove of. Some women do this out of an
evangel teal, jmissiouury spin*; others do so
for lack of auything more angelic. The
ones who marry the last man, the only
mao, areapt to get along better in reform
atory work than the missionaries. Why?
Because they preach less.
A worthy example of this reformat ry
principle of non-preachment now adorns
New \ork society. A very pretty, clever
woman was asked by a man about town to
marry him. Bbe was a girl who had had
but a scant supply of those aids to matri
mony which surround a rich girl, and she
had never had an ofler that was so eligible
from a worldly point of view. She sum
med the situation up, and accepted him.
When asked her reasons by a man who
was a closer confidant than auy woman
could have been to her curious n itu *, she
put her summing up in words: “That man
has run his race. I believe lie is a clear-
minded man, and that he has seen enough
of bad women and gay life to
appreciate a decent wife and
a tempting home. Ho drinks more or less,
I know; but it is custom more than habit.
I know he is the eoul of honor in busi
ness, and I do not believe that any man
wh > lives up to his contracts in a business
way Is going to break a contract with the
woman he loves. lie loves me: I am
fond of him; and I am going to be a \\ife
to l>e envied by every mother’s girl who is
trotting off done up in rose color with
beardless boys who have all their ‘fun* yet
to come.”
She married him three years ago, and
she laid out a time-table that was wortlur
of an artist. She promised herself fi&

fast; to be bright and jolly at dinner; to
be loving and babyish after dinner; not to
have a first squabble; and never to preach
at him, but at the things he did.

house the
diva wore a superb evening gown of cream
colored satin and lace over a groundwork
of pale pink. The front was enriched with
heavy embroidery, and the corsage flashed
with jewels. The,singer's black hair hung
over her shoulders in long curls. She ap-
} « ired at the balcony in this costume in
the famous love scene, and teemed scarcely
half her age.
In the third act her gown was still more
striking. Flu* color was a brown terra-cotta
with the front and train in silver green,
silk. The coriage was laced with gold
cords, and the sides bordered with intricate
gold embroidery. It was in this that she
knelt at Romeo’s side in the monk’s cell
whl’e “Fiere Laurent”pronounced the nup
tial benediction.
In the fourth act she wore twoco*tnine*.
The first was in dainty white telle cut
simply in the old Greek •dyl* and fastened
at the waist with a girdle. It was in this
that “Romeo” saw her as he poured forth
his song of love in the clumber scene. In
the final act “Juliet” was stretched out in
the white shroud of the tomb.
