It is estimated that Indian have cost the government $700,000, 000. At this rate dead Indians must eoet ns about $1,000,000 a piece. A Miss Cam fbkll recently se¬ cured $45,000 from millionaire Ar buckle for trifling with her affec¬ tions. It is now expected that parched coffee will take another rise. Georgia stands twelfth in the list of states as to population, according to the recent census. Ten years ago she stood ISth but she has now mov¬ ed up a peg and is still the Empire State of the South. Some of the politicians have sug¬ gested Hon. Fleming DuBignon, of Savannah, for Senator to succeed Senator Colquitt. As the election is four years off, there is plenty of time to “look around” for candi¬ dates. The Greenesboro Herald-Journal says: “A man who would refuse to subscribe for his county paper and borrow his neighbor’s to get the news would use bis own peavines for kindling, and turn bis stock in bis neighbor’s barley patch to graze.” In remitting for a subscription do not aay, “Please find enclosed,” etc. Leave off the “please.” It is unnao to plead with the editor in av K th, re is ?»nv money in the let ’ ' ■ ■ The editor of an exchange has discovered the fact that this is a top¬ sy-turvy world.

Life, Health and Strength. - Apalachicola, Fla, Feb-17, 1889. Mean*. Ltppmaa Bros-, : Dear Sirs—I will to to inform yon that I was I >t gs I in ant in it I light- j at my ublisb this TETTER AND BOILS. For years I was afflicted with an aggravated case of Tetter. I tried lotions, salves, soaps, and other out¬ ward applications, without any ben efleia) results. In addition to the Tetter, Boils commenced breaking ant all over my body, cansing me so much pain that I had to quit work and go to bed. I then decided that I had started wrong, and instead of using external treatment I ought to go to the seat of the disease and pu¬ rify my blood, as it was obviously bad blood that caused both the Tet ter and the Boils. I took several blood purifiers without any good ef¬ fects. About the time my case was declared incurable I commenced taking S. S. S. In a few weeks the Tetter was cured, and one by one the Boils disappeared, until I was entirely and permanently cured. This was three years ago, and since then I have been free from any skin eruptions. My skin is now, and has been for three years, as smooth as any one’s. S. S. S. not only cured me of Tetter and Boils, but also re¬ stored my appetite and general health, causing me to increase in weight, and imurove in every way. M. 8. PoLtdcK, New London, O.

A very pathetic incident is of two old gentlemen in county. They were ranked among the most respected citizens of that They had seen the years come go with all the varying of life, and had reached that on life’* journey where the lengthen and “the almond tree ishes.” One of them lay upon a sick and the blood which bad through his veins for so many was fast becoming chilled. shadows of death were around him and he was waiting patience the call of his master would summon him to his eternal ward. f The other was at his dying bedside. The friendship of a life had knitted their lives in brotherly love. And almost side the pearly gates, the dying asked his friend if he had any mes¬ sage to send by him to the world. “Yes,” said tho other, “tell dear friend-that I will soon whh him and enjoy the reward the blest. Tell my dear child who in heaven that a father looks ly to the moment when Jra will again be with his child.” And many other messages follow ed. Just as tranquil as if they messages to be carried to some tant city on our own earth, and as confident was tbe one that other would bo the bearer of messages that would soon be ported beyond the skies. Then came a final gfiK>d-by. The two friends parted, and in few Says the soul of tho father in Israel crossed over the river and ed under the shade of the trees. The other is living yet and that soon he will join his friend.

She says they only create amusement on the border territory of which the place where she lives is a part. The Indians there are crazy with religious excitement, but no one snapects them of warlike purposes- Tbe people are under no apprehension of danger whatever, and nothing indicating a purpose rise among the aborignesc has ap jieared. The “scare is all of for¬ eign manufacture, according to her letter. The people in this quarter think they understand the Indians, and they do not regard"them as any more dangerous now than when things among them are in their normal state.

Madison Madisonian: Friendshi| is a flower which buds forth in th, garden of acquaintainccship, flour ishes iu the atmosphere of associ tion and matures in the golden sun¬ light of companionship. In the morning its beautiful petals glia ten with the diamond dew drop? of truth, st noon they are all a-glow uuder the tragic spell of sit) cerity and at evening they nestle beneath the hovering wings of con¬ fidence. It'is easily acclimated, and adorns the hut of the lowly, the humble, or beautifies the palace of the king. It’s fragrance adds a charm to the personage of him who walks life’s humble ways, as it graces the rich. Fragile iu tenure, this lovely flower is sometimes swayed by the chilling blasts of in¬ difference, or falla drooping under the withering winds of gossip. Deal gently with it, and remember : A friend’s fair fame is a fragile thing, A nd, stalled by a word untrue Though the wealth of worlds to your aid you bring, You cannot remove the slander¬ ous sting, Nor the wrong you have di ne undo. C.M. F. Here is parable : Two men wei t up to the polls to vote on the lique r traffic, one a deacon and the other a drunkard. The deacon said within himself, “I am glad I am not a* oth¬ er men are—liars thieves, corruptors or even as this drunkard. I go reg ularly to the church, and to prayer meeting, 1 help to pay the preacher, 1 send money to convert the heath¬ en, I have no a) petite for drink, and tbe saloon is no temptation to me, so I can cast a ballot for ita perpet¬ uation and it will bring no danger to me, but I will make solid with tbe men who trade at my store.” And the drunkard stood afar off while the deacon voted, for he was ashamed to lie seen by him in bis rags and filth. But when tho dea¬ con was gone he slipped up to the IH ballot box and said within himself, “Lord, be merciful to me iu mv belpleaanm, and To my family m their misery, and l will at least east my vote for my deliverance, and co thou, OLord, hasten the day when the deacons and the church shall have mercy upon me/’ Think you not, reader, that the drunkard went down to his house justified in the sight of God rather than the deacon ?

The price >f our great southern staple is fat 1 below the actual cost of production, while the new tariff bill has ad¬ vanced the price of all manner of .nannfactnred goods Bu, our Southern merchants ire in no r inner responsible for this State of .tTnirs, as they suffer as keenly «S the men who till the soil. Ttoey borrowed mon - v to purchase sup¬ plies, and sold the same toVarmew on time, in order to enable them io make their crops. To do tiue they strained their credit tp the last notch, and this places both their commercial honor and property at the mercy of the men whom they have supplied. The Banner editor ha* stood by and defended our farmers in all of their struggles and will continue tet : do so. He will only advise for their good and their interests. It is their hon or and credit we desire ter pro¬ tect and preserve, when we urge upon them the importance of promptly meeting their obligation with the merchants. We are in a position to know whereof we speak, when we say to our farmers, the,, country is now trembling on the brink of a financial panic, and it W iu your power to prevent or hasten this calamity. By either selling or drawing money on your cottou, and paying your debts, you can bring s i thing# right; l>y withholding icwr. crops from market, you can precipi > late this panic, that, like Samson* when he pulled down the pillars of the temple, will destroy yourself m well as the merchant. Most of our farmers belong to the alliance, and this organization will be held responsible for the conduct of our agricultural community during this critical period.
