Woes of an Editor.
Verily, the life of an editor is a
path of thorns.
His bred is promise, ami his meat
is disappointment.
His creditors chase him by day and
the devil grinneth at liim by night.
He sendelh a paper to subscribers
who pay him not.
Theii be stoppetb the delinguent’s
paper, and the delinquent sineth
“Train!” ami borroweth it from a
neighbor.
One subscribes paycth bis subsciip
tion in wood, rnd behold it is rotten
and sobby and short measure-
He whoopeth up tho town politi
eian, and the • politician gets elected
and knoweth him no more.
He puffeth the church fair gratis,
and be attend*th it and paycth his
quarter. and receive tit two spoons of
ice cream
lie boometb bis town and all things
therein, and yet receivcte no support,
and is a man without honot in his
own country.
'Die young people marry and he
gi\eth them a great puff, and they go
to housekeeping and take not tl.c pa
per.
Yes, he is bow and down with woe,
and bis days are full of of grief and
trouble ami vexation of spirit.
llul sot row endureth only for a
night and joy cometh in tin- morning
He ploddeth along and enduivtli
in th in patience, and it is written
that lie- will receive Ills reward at the
judgment.—Aim-ficus Times-Record

We have not written tn so long we
ucarcel}' know wh.l to write. Regu
larity is tlie life of success. If we
ever expect to lie successful in any
occupation or calling of lifu we must
nt all .iines anil at all pieces, le regu
lar in our habits. This rule holds
gooil at home or abroad, on the hum
or on sen, in health or in' affliction, in
business or out of business, or even
m our correspondent stewardship. It
your lover, who liv es a great distance
away, should answer your missives
legularly you feel enhanced, adored,
admired, and even la-loved. Hut if
she becomes careless and irregular in
answering you nt once lose hope and
become careless also, and of course
you know the result.
The editor of the Farmers Depart
nient of the Atlanta Constitution says
the present prospects for a corn crop
looks like staivation. Our readers
well remember if they only think
that we gave ti e warning note in
ill M ireh last and begged them to
plant enough under favorable ciicuiii
Htrnees to supply home consumption.
Now it remains to be seen whether
you can affo.d to pay one dollar per
bushel for corn with five cent cotton
(which is simply saying by your acts
that you had ratio r produce twenty
pounds ol cotton than one bushel of
corn) or not.
The blackberry crop is now on baud
and the avetage small boy is happy.
Also the wnvluring train can tiutli
fully say with a thankful heart “1 is
good t<. wait uo-iii the Lord.
We read this statement in the 'I i.
zelte two yearsago. “-The Institute
now being over the teachers will soon
get down to their knitting in t he school
room.” We do not question the ve
racity of the writer, but we would like
to see the teacher who “gets down to
ins knitting” outside the school room
much less in it.
Farmers are complaining of lice on
on the cwtton. Mr. A. J. Sanders
says he ahv.ys thought it helped cot
ton to get lice on it. If this be true
cotton will certainly thrive now.

Heart Trouble Quickly Cured.
A Convincing Testimonial.
Miss Ella Kcutz.
“For 19 years l suffered from heart trou
ble. During that time I was treated by
five different physicians. All of them
claimed that I could not be cured . I was
greatly troubled with shortness of breath,
palpitation and pain in the side. If I be
came excited, or exerted myself in the least,
the pain in my side became very severe. At
times it seemed as though needles uxrc shoot
ing through my side. Sometime in the month
of November last, I commenced taking
DR. MILES' HEART CURE
and since then I have improved steadily.
I can now sleep on my left side, something I
had never been able to do before. I can
walk without being fatigued, and am in
much better health than ever before , I would
recommend all sufferers from heart trouble
to try Dr. Miles’ invaluable remedy without

set in, (this is a form of paralysis •-.hicli
deprives the patient of u 1 use or his lower
limbs.) The Argun Ac Patriot interviewed
Mr. Hutchinson to-day, nud his story is
here given in his own words.
“ Mv back ached continually and ray lee?*
began to grow numb and to be lo*j and less
u>a')le. By the loth of April I could do
absolutely nothing and was scarcely able to
stand. A! v tdiysieia.is advised me to go to
the Mary Fletcher Hospital at Burin glon,
to lie tivited, and I took their advice. When
1 left home my friends bade me good-bye,
never expecting to sec me alive again.
; The physicians at the hospital told me that
mv fif.s** was a serious one and I was com*
plct 4 y discouraged. i remained at th*
hospital seven weeks and took thf medicine*
which the doctors gave me. 1 felt better ul
I the hospital an A''thought that I was recover

snout, which I did lor iwo months, and itlsi*
had an electric battery und r their advice,
i The improvement, however,did d< t continue
and 1 begun to give tip hope. August Ist,
; itUk>, I could not get out of my chair without
a—istunec, and if I got down upon the floor,)
c ii't get up alone. About this time I
chanced to road an account of (lie wonder*
fu curative powers of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills for Pale People in cases similar to mv
awn. I did not have any faith in the Piln
hut thought a trial could do no harm, so J
bought some without telling anyone what I
wns going to do. After I had been Vt’ ing
them s mc time I found that, for the first time
in months 1 was able to walk down to the
(Most office, and my neighbors began to d>*
4*1189 the marked improvement in my health.
As l continued die medicine I continued to
improve, and soon recominet eed work
in the ini'i, at first very lightly, and in
erea ing as I was able and as 1 gained in
health and spirits, and now for the p: t
three months I have been working ten u
pc*r day almost as steadily as I ever did.
I feel n* f 11, eat well and sleep as well os i
ever did and I have no pain anywhere.’ 1
