Last summer one of our grand
children was sick with a severe bowe]
trouble. Our doctor’s remedies had
failed, then we tried Chamberlain’s

which gave very speedy relief' We
regard it as the best medicine ever
pnt on the market .for bowel com
plaints.—Mrs. E, G- f Gregory, Fred

the best medicine ever put on the
market for dysentery, summer com
plaint, cole and cholera infpntum in
children. It never failes to give
prompt relief when used in reasoable

expressed their sincere gratitude for
the cures it has effected. For sale by

DEAFNESS C AN NOT BE CURED
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portionof the ear.
There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the inascous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed youj have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nojhing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hund-ed Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused dy
catarrh) that cannot be cured by-
Hall’s Catarrh cure. Send for
circulars; free.

Mr. Albert Cash and Georgia
Ronds.
Mr. Editor; In a late issue of
the Gazette 1 notice that Mr. Albert
Cash assails the Democratic party of
this state for reckless expenditure of
money, or as hi is pleased to term it,
“Wickedness that is fast drifting our
people back to anything but a free
government.”
Now Mr. Cash is a gentleman I
like very much, and one whose per
sonal feelings 1 would not violate for
anything, but I must say that if our
ship of state is drifting back i sin
cerely trust it may stop before it
reaches the wickedness, corruption,
and mal-administration we had under
republican rule prior to 1872.
I am not prepared at present to
give your readers a ( edrrect list of
Georgia’s outstanding obligations,
but I am quite sure Mr. Cash’s fig
ures are misleading from the fact
that, the legislature has paid off and
refunded at least a part of the bonds
mentioned in his list. I have not
heard a higher estimate of our entire
bonded debt than $11,000,000 while
Mr. Cash’s figures amount to over
$18,000,000. Neither do I believe
that we are now carrying any bonds
at 7 percent, per annum.
But let this pass. I would inquire
if Mr. Cash can point out a state
that carries no bonded debt ? There
are none so far ns I nave heard.
What corporation or enterprise that
does not, use money in this way?
There ts nothing immoral or criminal
about it. It is simply a matter of
business. And what state can Air.
Cash refer to that has a fairer credit
than Georgia, or one whose bonds
are listed at a higher premium in the
markets of the world ?
Can Mr. Cash point to a single
Governor of Georgia since the Demo
cratic party has bad charge of the
state who has brought a reproach
upon the fair name of our grand old
commonwealth? Can he point out
a State treasurer who has or one
whose bondsmen have suffered under
a Democratic administration? Until
he does this we must believe his
charges of wickedness and corrup-
Weak Lungs
Hot weather won’t cure weak
lungs. You may feel better be
cause out of doors more, but
the trouble is still there. Don’t
stop taking your
Scott’s
Emulsion
because the weather happens
to be warm. If you have a
weak throat, a slight hacking
cough, or some trouble with
the bronchial tubes, summer is
the best time to get rid of it.
If you are losing flesh there is
all the'more need of attention.
Weakness about the chest and
thinness should never go to
gether. One greatly increases
the danger of the other. Heal
the throat, cure the cough, and
strengthen the whole system
now. Keep taking Scott’s
Emulsion all summer.
Vvr bale by all druggittU at and oi.ua
tion are unfounded.
On the other hand let us look at
the general prosperity of our people
since the democrats have been in
power. We can point with pride to
a magnifieent school system establish*
ed tor the ebucation of both white
and black. We can point to our old
soldiers and their widows, and say
with feeling deepest emotion, that
Georgia has done more than any sis
ter state for that class of her citizens..
The money paid to citizens of
Banks County out of state treasury
exceeds the amount paid in taxes.
Any one who disbelieves this state
ment can have the figures. A litte
investigation will show that a major
ity of counties in Georgia receive
move money for pensions paid to
old soldiers and for teacher’s salaries
than they contribute in the way of
taxes. Look at our beneficent system
of laws, the universal growth of knowl
edge, our wonderful increase in taxa
ble property, the many towns and
c ities which have sprung up under
the fostering care of our government,
the rapid inliux of Northern capital
and the thousands of avenues now
open to the young both in the arts
and sciences; look at the buildings
which lately contained an exposition
of our wonderful wealth resources,
such lias rarely ever been excelled in
all the world—Look at all this 'and
then tell me that we are “drifting
back!” Away with the idea 1 None
but the sourest pessimist alive can
believe it aud 1 can hardly think that
my good friend Mr. Cash can be in
earnest when he indulges in such
assertions. Sincerely Yours.
