The Epidemic Ended,

•♦put an end to the epidemic in all
the infected .places. There will of
'bourse be a few more cases. Peo
ple do not take all the pre cautions
they ought to, and some of them
yrill have, to suffer the penalty of
their carelessness. Those who ea
sier houses which have been closed
daring the epidemic, and have not
been thoroughly aired and fumiga
ted, or who come in contact with
'infected clothing and bedding, will
run the risk of being attacked by
the-fever.
,... Those who take the proper pre
cautions wilLrun very little risk of
^contracting the disease, even
thongh they-are absent from the
'infected places at the time of epi
demic. The refugees, however,
and travelers should not enter the
Infected towns until the physicians
announce that it is safe to do
so.
: In Jacksonville a vigorous effort
is being made to.djestroy infected
bedding and clothing, or at least
/to render it harmless by germ-de
stroying processes. Every citizen
of the infected town,should do what
die could to make the offort a sue-
cess. It is wiser to make ssme sac
rifices nowjjthan to risk.being com
pelled to maka greater sacrifices
. nest summer.
There is a happier.,* feeling in
Florida than there has been for
four months. The effects or the
epidemic upon business will soou
disappear. As soon as all the
transportation lines are running
tym their regular /schedules again,-
business will revive with marvel
ous rapidity. By the middle of
December,’Sr the beginning of
next year, the marks of the
demic will have disappeared
•most. Of course, the scars
those who have suffered will
'main, and the victims of
scourge, and those who acted a no
ble and heroic p’avt, will not be for
gotten, but trade and travel will re
sume their accustomed channels
in as great a volume as ever, and
the people return to their asual
vocations and to the ,discharge of
their accustomed ^duties, sad for
their loses and suffering, but full
of hope for the future. |
The travel to Florida may not
'be as great this winter a3 it was
last, but the chances are that the
’difference will not be very marked.
As soon as spon as th'e people . be
come satisfied that it is safe to visit
the infected places they will do so,
and they wil, be satisfied when
they find ihatihp favor is claiming
Sdo more victims; as&Lit will not
be.forgotten tbatOttly a few
places in the j&gjta havo had $ie
fever. Nearly All the state has
tried as healthy during any pre
vious year. Floridans prosperity
will not be noticably checked by
her misfortune tliis year.

The" Augusta Chronicle, noticing address to the people of Texas, at oats, for instance he intends to i

YVeurould like to have more par-

oped” in FlOyd and Bichmond i his clean surplus, and selling it in
counties, which is “likely to grow
in Georgia politics.”
The “issue” upon which opposi
tion to Senator Colquitt was first
announced was his support of tar
iff reform and opposition to the
repeal of the whisky taxes instead
of tariff reduction. If this is the
issue which is Jo be maintained and
which is to grow in Georgia poli
tics, the people of the state ought
certainly to be informed of it as
early as possible, and therefore we
make the inquiry.
The result of the presidential
election, considered with refer
ence to the national platforms of
the two parties and their action in
the late session of congress, con
tinues a contest between two dis
tinct policies of federal taxation,
one of which is favored by Sena
tor Colqnitt, and the other by the
republican party. We do not be
lieve that any considerable; portion
of the democratic people of Geor
gia, thongh they may prefer some
one else to- Dolquitfc for United
States Senator, are prepared to
sanction, as a growing issue in
politics, opposition to the policy
of taxation which he represents,
and because of which the fight
against liis re-election was open

“My Wife is a, Terror!”
So said a mifd-t'empered mau iu

lost her former sweet disposition,
and ill-health is the cause. Dr.
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription will
make her quite well. For female
diseases, functional derangements,
bearing-down pains, and the long
list of ills that render women mis
erable, no medicine can compare
with this. It is the only medicine
for woman’a peculiar weaknesses
and ailments, sold by druggists
under a positive. guarantee from
the manufacturers, to give satis

An enterprising merchant on
Fulton street, New York city, has
adopted a novel and successful way
of attracting a crqtyd in front of
pis store. He constructed a tall
perch in his door, on which he
placed two large hoot owls. They
sit like statues on their perch
throughout the day and roll their
big eyes around with a vacant
stare. At night they are turned
loose in the, store to capture -the
stray mice which .venture out of
their holes on foraging expedi
tions.

But to lie at his feet while the

Webster Flanigan, of Texas,who
became famous by his question at
the republican national convention
of 1880, “What are,we here for?”
is already a pronounced candidate
for the Japanese- mission, now fill
ed by Hubbard; another Lone
Star statesman. Flanigan would
make an “envoy extraordinary” in
the full meaning of the word. He
is one of.the great poker players
of the Age, and the boldness with
which he backs a bob-tail flash is
considered a triumph in the art of
bluffing. But if a Texas republi
can is to be sent to Japan, may we
not pause to inquire what is the
matter with Colonel Thomas Pinck
ney Ochiltree, ; t]ie red ranger of
the Bio Grande?
An observing man has remarked
that merely to glance at a pretty
woman is. tp cause her to moisten
her lips with a sort of nervous ra
pidity, and the reason of this ac
tion is causing no little discussion
among his felj.bwmen. “Glance,
however casually, in a car or place
of amusement, pt a lady,’’ volun
teered one mail, “and note how
promptly her tongue moistens her
lips.”; The masculiue verdict is
tkaiitisabit of vanity, an en
deavor to enhance the color of her
lips; but the action is merely a
mild burst of irritability at the
stare, which is probably a scruti
nizing one.

E. Bainbridge Monday,; Esq.,
County Atty.-, Clay Co., Tex. - says:
“I have used Electric Bitters with
3 os.t happy, results. * ; My brother
sis was very-low- with Malarial
Fever and Jaundice, but he was
cured by.timely use : of , r this medi
cine. Am satisfied Electric 'fit;

Mr. D.. X;- Wilcozson, of Horse
Cave, Ky., adds a like testimony;
saying: He positively believes lie released,
would have died, had it not been M- / ' A_ ty.
“thirty acres,” not once dreaming
of any expected number of bushels.
Oats should produce at least fifty
bushels per acre, and, if his answer
had been “1,500 bushels/’ it would
sound more like business, and be
an earnest of bestt endeavor to so
put in the. crop and care for it to^
as to realize that quantity or more.
There is quite too much superfi
cial talk, and many cover, haphaz
ard, all the ground they can.
“Acres” sound large, but “bushels”
put money in the pocket; The
boast of a young farmer that he
had put in eighty acres to spring
crops amounts to nothing much
bat hard work, unless he so puts it
in as to be assured of good yield,
weather permitting. A dairyman
said: “I am running thirty cows./’
another replied:, |“I- shall make
$2,000 worth of buttei.’ this year.”
The latter remark has the true
ring.—Galon Wilson.

The newspapers have told us
that the mineral and manufactur
ing industries of the south are
booming. The Baltimore Manu
facturers’ Becord, concerning the
agricultural interests, says: “The
south has been blessed with two
iunprecedenedly large corn andcoL
ton crops in succession, and this
means greater agricultural pros
perity aDd more surplus money for
investment. Many millions of dol
lars that -formerly- went west-.for
corn and bacon are now saved to’
the south by increased home pro
duction.” That’s grand, glorious.
With mineral bed, giving up. their
treasures, spindles humming, cribs
cracking with corn made on south
ern laud, and pens; full of home-
raised.hogg, the south can kiss her
hand to the north as a sighal for a
race for prosperity.
A Becent English invention is
a CQrrugated rolled ste6l wagon
tire for use in towns where street
cars run. The object of the inven
tion is to assist the 1 wlieel to get
out of the tramline, and/hus avoid
skidding of the wheels and the
wrenching of the vehicle and hor
ses. The invention consists of
what may, perhaps, ■ be described
as a series of sloping/ projections
on each side of tho felloes of the
wheel.
Upward of 500,000 wreaths were
placed on the graves of the Tien
na Central Cemetery during a re
cent week. These ; wreaths are
saved and sold at auction, the iron
and brass wire in them being
smelted and manufactured into
Wire. This “wire of the dead,” as
it.is'called, represents an average,
value of 80,000 florins a year.

Portraits of all th;e judges that ev-;

The Cincinnati’ Enquirer*. Says:
.“Mr. Bancroft’s report shows that
there are 14S,713 miles of railroad
mail service in this country, and
5,973 miles of staamboat mail ser

distance tyich is six times the cir
cumference of the globe that we
