She If raid and giotrtistii. Newnan, Ga., Friday, May 25, 1888. The Spirit of Truthfulness. Philadelphia Ledger. One important stop in all moral pro gress is that which leads from the ob servance of a law or precept to the in fusion of the spirit which contains the law. Indeed, it should hardly be called a step, for Hie distance between the 1 wo is sufficient to demand many steps. This is strongly exemplified in the case of truthfulness. There is a long dis tance between the repugnance now happily felt by a large majority of the community towards the actual uttei- ance of a lie and that spirit which loves and rejoices in the truth for its own .sake, and delights to discover and dif fuse it. After one has reached the for mer point he has a long ways to travel before arriving at the latter. People usually considered truthful are scatter ed upon that road at various stages of progress. Some there are so little advanced that although they would not tell a lie they would not hesitate to act one. If they can avoid the literal utterance of an untruth they are quite willing to con vey the same by evasive statements, deceptive silence, and even a quibble of words. If personal interest, party feel ing, or any other motive induces them to desire a false impression to be made upon the minds of others, they will not hesitate to minister to this desire in any way that does not actually involve a verbal falsehood. They will even pride themselves upon their shrewd ness in avoiding this literal sin, while accomplishing the same results it would have done. “I have said nothing but what was true,” is a common justifica tion made by these persons when ac knowledging that they have success fully deceived or misled their neigh bors. That such self-delusion should be possible shows in what crooked and subtle ways the mind can be induced to work when evil desires force it into alliance with them. There are others who would not thus debase their common sense, who per haps have no wish to deceive, and who would not by any underhand methods create a false impression; yet, who are far from cherishing the spirit of which we speak. They will loosely hold opinions, of the truth of which they are in more or less doubt, content that they are the views of the party or clique to which they belong. Or hav ing become convinced of some truth which others do not share, they hold it in silence, especially if it is unpalatable. Or when their convictions and their interests seem to be opposed, they de : dine to sacrifice the latter to the for mer. They have a certain respect for the truth, but it is not very dear to them, and, while they would not wish to for feit or injure it, they are not ready to make sacrifices for it. They bow to its laws but are not infused with its spirit. There are many who heartily em brace the truth in certain directions, and cleave to it joyfully, whatever it cost, while to other portions of it they are cold and indifferent. There are men who gladly devote their lives to searching for and promulgating the truths of some technical science, yet are careless about the truths which un derlie government, or the principles on which character is formed. There are those who seem to be the soul of honor in every private capacity, who are yet unfaithful to the truths which should guide their public relations, and others who are loyal to truth everywhere ex cept in their homes. But whoever is imbued with the spirit of truthfulness springs to receive it, to learn from it, to practice it, and to diffuse it from whatever quarter it may come, and whatever be the lesson which it brings. It is so precious to him that, whatever stands in its way and hinders its ap proach is willingly surrendered, what ever personal loss he may sustain. lie is loyal to it, not only holding it firmly and courageously, but obeying its be hests. Every truth has a mission of its own, and regulates the lives of its faith ful adherents, improving and elevating them. To believe aright is much; to act up to those beliefs is more; while he who does both joyfully manifests the spirit of truthfulness. How this spirit may be infused into those who possess it not, and how it may be animated and strengthened in all,, are problems worthy of thought. Probably nothing could have a more powerful effect upon social, domestic and individual welfare than the wide spread diffusion of this spirit. It un derlies all honest and faithful work, all social confidence, all right fulfill ment of relations, all independence and self-respect. For he who is faithful to the truth is faithful to himself and others. The more these effects can be and that can only be infused by those who are themselves inspired by it. St. Paul tells us that “charity (or love) rejoicetli in the truth.” May we all strive to attain that love and that joy. She Knew Him. Detroit Free Press. “You know the defendant in this case, do you?” asked a Kansas lawyer of a female native of the soil. “Know which ?” she asked. “The defendant, Jake Lynch.” “Do I know Jake Lynch ?” “Yes.” “You want to know if I know Jake Lynch ? well, if that ain’t a good one. Why, mister, the Lynch family an’—” “Can’t you say yes or no ?” “Why, Jake Lynch’s mother an’ my step-dad’s father was once first cous ins, an’—” “Then you know him ?” “Why, Jake Lynch? Me know Jake Lynch ? You’re a stranger in these parts, ain’t you ?” “That has nothing to do with the case. If you know Jake Lynch, say so.” “If I know him ! Lemme tell you that Jake Lynch’s birthday and my brother Hiram’s is on the same day, an’ ” “You know him, of course, then ?” “Who—Jake Lynch? Ask Jake if I know him ! Ask him if he was ever in- terdooced to Betty Skelton.” “I don’t care to ask him anything. I simply want to ask you if Jake Lynch is known to you personally.” “Pussonly ?

Jake Lynch was born in Injeeany an’ I was born in the same county an’—” “And of course you know him?” “Who—Jake Lynch ? Do I know Jake Lynch, when the very hoss he rid here on was one he traded my man a span of young steers for ? Why, man, Jake’s wife was Ann Elizy Skiff, an’ her an’ me is the same age to a day an’—” “That will do. I see that you do know him.” “Know him? Know Jake? Why, man—” “That will do.” “Why, I was married on a Chewsday an’ Jake was married the next day, an’ his oldest boy an’ my oldest girl is most the same age, an,—” “That will do.” publican, he turned himself loose and uncorking the vials of his wrath, began a lurid arraignment of Christianity for its superstitious teachings and unfound ed claims to divine origin. “What has Christianity ever done for Illinois?” he demanded of his astonished, but elec trified, fellow-passengers. Hardly a moment intervened be tween the question and the cutting an swer, which came in a shrill voice a few seats away: “It kept Bob Iugersoll from being Governor of Illinois,” said the voice, which belonged to a little woman whose quick wit and boldness at once won profoundest admiration. The great infidel was crushed. The answer was too painfully true for him, and he dignifiedly sought the seclusion of another coach, followed by the laughter of the passengers. The little woman was the hero of the hour. Democratic National Convention. The first Democratic National Con vention met in 1832. Previously to that time each party informally selected its most conspicuous man as a candidate for the Presidency, or a choice of nom inee was made by a caucus of the par ty’s members in Congress or in the va rious State Legislatures. In 1S32 the the system of delegate conventions was put in operation, and this principle, in its leading features, has been in opera tion ever since among the prominent political organizations. The following table shows the dates of the national conventions of the Democratic party, the places at which they were held and the candidates they put in the field.

Railroad men are as superstitious as they make them,” remarked an old engineer as lie was oiling his engine. “I have as much faith in my machine as I have in a hu man being, and she acts as crankily sometimes. Oh, yes, she has her spells. Sometimes she will make steam like a daisy. At other times she won’t steam at all. I can’t account for it. There’s lots of superstitions among the boys, and you can bet they believe in them strongly. Take that which gives three accidents following one after another; everybody believes that. “I’ll tell you a peculiar circumstance, though. On the Erie they had an old engine years ago known as the 222. She had the reputation of being the worst man-killer on the road and hardly a week passed that she didn’t have an ac cident to add to her record. The men became so much afraid of her that they refused to work on her, and the officials were in a quandary. At last in despair they sent lier to the Susquehanna shops, rebuilt her, changed her number and turned her loose on the eastern end of the road. She kept up the same capers until she got as bad a reputation as she had before. Men refused to work with her, and one day it leaked out that she was the old 222. That settled it; nobody cared for a place on her. A short time afterward she was ditched and injured so badly that, she was al most in pieces. No effort was made to put her together again, and she was consigned to the scrap heap. Her brasses, etc., were gradually used up until the mere shell was left, when she was sold as old iron.” Don’t Experiment.

Address, BLOOD BALM COMPANY, Atlanta, Gav THE WORLD CHALLENGED. - To produce anything like an approach to our now justly celebrated Blood Remedy,. B. B. B., we make bold to claim the following special points of value and advantage over any other remedy on the market: 1. That it consists c 0 f the most valuable remedies known to the medical profession. 2. That the combination of the remedies has never been equaled in any medicine that has ever been known. 3. Its beneficial results can be felt sooner than by the use of any other remedy. 4. It takes less quantity and less money to produce a cure than any other remedy. We are willin'* for B B B to stand on its own merits, and as our words are unnecessary in proving its efficiency as a blood remedy we simply invite a careful perusal of the following voluntary certificates from the thousands who have tried it. They are eloquent tributes, and speak for themselves. To the skeptical, we would further say : Inquire of your neighbor who has tried our great remedy. Here are the certificates : A REMARKABLE LETTER. Down Two Years With Rheumatism and Now Entirely Well. , I have been troubled with rheumatism for two years; had, gotten so I could scarcely walk, and was in pain nearly all the time. At aight could not sleep for the excruciating pain. The bone in one of my legs was very much enlarged, and I feared that amputation would be necessary. After trying many dn- ferent patent medicines claiming to cure rheumatism and other complaints, I was al most discouraged until about two weeks ago, when 1 had to give up business, Mr. W. J. Willingham, of vour city, hearing of my com plaint, advised the use of your medicine, and assured me of his confidence in it as a cure for rheumatism. I at once purchased a bot tle, hoping it might relieve me, but not having much faith in it, or in anything else; but, thank God, I am very muen relieved, and I firmly believe I will get entirely well. The swelling has gone down and I am in no pain whatever. Am at work again, and have been tor several days. Can run up and down the stairwav in factory as nimbly as ever. 1 thank you for this earthly salvation to me. I write without your solicitation, or any knowledge of you, except through your med icine. I write because I feel grateful for what has been done for me. 1 am yours, very truly, W. A. Moore, Foreman for Willingham Lumber Co., Chattanooga, Tenn. If anv one should doubt a« to my being cured, or as to my statements, I refer them to the firm I am with and have been with for many years; Mr Phillip Young, of Chatta nooga; Mr. Hamilton, foreman of carpentry, with W. L. & Co., Chattanooga; Dr. Acre, of Chattanooga; Mr. Phil Hartman, shipping clerk for W. L. Co.; F. B. Cheek, Chatta nooga ; Mrs. Cooper, Chattanooga, and one hundred others in factory and in city.

Atlanta, (Ja.— Sir: I have been thinking of writing to you forsome time to let you know of the wonder ful cure your B. B. B. has effected on myself and daughter. She, a girl of 16 years, was taken with a very sore leg below the knee. I used about 30 bottles of other medicine to no purpose. The doctors said the only remedy left was amputation. That we all were op posed to. I was in Knoxville the 8th of Jan uary, 1887, and while buying a bill of drugs called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs. Sanford, Chamberland & Co. recommended the B. B. B. I purchased one-half dozen bot tles, and, to my utter surprise, after using three or four bottles, my gin’s leg was entire ly well. I also had a very ugly running sore on tlie calf of my leg and one bottle cured it, after trying all other remedies. I wish you much success, and I do hope that all suffering humanity may hear and believe in the only true blood purifier.

For a number of years I have suffered un told agonies from the effects of blood poison. I had my case treated by several prominent physicians, and recived but little, if any relief. 1 resorted to all sorts of patent medicines, spending a large amount of money but getting no better. My attention was attracted by th:i cures said fo have been effected by B. B. B., and I began taking it merely as a experiment, having but little faith in the ultimate results. To my utter surprise I soon commenced to improve, and deem myself to-day a well and hearty man—all owing to the excellent qual ities of B. B. B. I cannot commend it too highly to those suffering from blood poison. J. O. Gibson, Trainman M ife'O R. R AFTER TWENTY YEARS.

I have been a practical druggist in Tyler for a number of years, and in that time have had occasion to examine, try, and notice the effect of nea rly all! he Ixi ghly recom mended prepar ation-or patent medic nes on the market, as I h ive suffered untold misery myself, the past number of years, from a severe form of in flammatory rheumatism, and could find lmtliing to cure or relieve me. I had almost drawn a conclusion that all patent medicines were more or less frauds until about one year ago, I was induced by a friend now living in Tyler to try a preparation known as 3 B., or Botanic Blood Balm, and after a long per suasion on his part, I finally made up my mind to make one more effort to rid myself of the terrible affliction; and now it affords me the greatest pleasure of my liie to state to the citizens of Smith county that l am entire ty cuv^d, with no traces of the disease left, and all effected by the magic healing proper ties of B.

A lady friend of mine has for several years been troubled with bumps and ; impleson her face and neck, for which she used various cosmetics in order to remove theffi and beau tify and improve her complexion; but these local applications were only temporary arid left her skin in a worse condition. I recommended an internal application— known as Botanic Blood Balm—which I have been using and selling about two years; she used three bottles and nearly all pimples have disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth and her general health much improved.

Company, Atlanta, Ga.—Gentlemen : I had suffered from that terrible disease, dyspepsia for over fifteen years, and during that time tried everything I could hear of, and spent over three hundred dollars in doctor’s bills, without receiving the slightest benefit, Indeed, i continued to grow worse. Finally, after I despaired of obtaining relief, a friend recommended B. B. B., (Botanic Blood Balm) and I began usingit; not, however,expecting to be benefited. After using half a bottle I was satisfied I was being benefited, and when tlie sixth bottle was used I felt like a new man. I would not take $1,000 for the good it has done me; in fact, the relief that 1 derived from it is priceless. I firmly believe I would have died had I not taken it. Respectfully, THOMAS PAULK.
