Mrs. Anderson, a prominent society-
roman of Jacksonville, Fla., daughter of
Recorder of Deeds, West, who witnessed
signature to the following letter, praises
.vdia E. Pinkhairds Vegetable Compound.
“Dear Mrs. Pinkham : — There are but few wives and mothers who
are not at times endured agonies and such pain as only women know,
osh such women knew the value of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
impound. It is a remarkable medicine, different in action from any
ever knew and thoroughly reliable.
“I have seen cases where women doctored for years without perma-
fcnt benefit, who were cured in less than three months after taking your
fegetable Compound, while others who were chronic and incurable
Ime out cured, happy, and in perfect health after a thorough treatment
nth this medicine. I have never used it myself without gaining great
tnefit. A few doses restores my strength and appetite, and tones up
Ee entire system. Your .medicine has been tried and found true, hence
(fully endorse it.” — Mrs. R. A. Anderson, 225 Washington St., Jack-
wiile, Fla.
Mrs. Reed, 2425 E. Cumberland St., Philadelphia, Pa., says:
“Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — I feel it my duty
to write and tell you the good I have received
from Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound.
“ I have been a great sufferer with female
trouble, trying different doctors and medicines
with no benefit. Two years ago I went under
an operation, and it left me in a very weak
condition. I had stomach trouble, backache,
headache, palpitation of the heart, and was very
nervous; in fact, I ached all over. I find
yonrs is the only medicine that reaches
wmpF such troubles, and would cheerfully rec-
m ommend Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
l Compound to all suffering women.”
■'lien women are troubled with irregular or painful menstruation, weak-
ss, leucorrhcea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down
e “ n ?i inflammation of the ovaries, backache, flatulence, general debility,
digestion, and nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried
F true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound at once
Qoves such troubles.
■ Pie experience and testimony of some of the most noted
[omen of America go to prove, beyond a question, that Lydia E.
finkliam’s Vegetable Compound will correct all such trouble at
poe by removing the cause and restoring the organs to a healthy
^ formal condition. If in doubt, write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
ass > as thousands do.
hn^v °^ er medicine in the world has received such widespread and
[qualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures
■ leina ^ troubles. Refuse to buy any substitute.
FORFEIT if we cannot forthwith produce the original letters and signatures of
fcbove testimonials, which will prove their absolute genuineness.

S. T. POWERS.
. Millville, Ind.
Atlanta, Feb. 28.—Commissioner of
Agriculture O. B Stevens expresses
the belief that the present high price
of cotton is the result of a well formu
lated plan to induce the farmers of the
South to plant the staple extensively
this year, with the object of lowering-
the price next year. He gave out an in
terview to-day, m which he urges the
farmers to plant a small crop of cotton
and to devote themselves to other pro
ducts.
Those white Republicans of Lareh-
mont, N. Y., who took up the candi
dacy of the negro hackman, Tom Har
ris, for tax receiver, as a joke ana later
found out that it meant business, have
decided that Harris must be dropped
and beaten at all hazards. A primary
election is to be helt next Friday night,
when it is expected the Republicans
will indorse a ticket nominated by the
Democrats, thus knocking Harris
out.

Washington, Feb. 28. — Senatorial
callers on the President to-day regard
an extraordinary session of the Senate
as practically inevitable. The determi
nation of the advocates of both the Cu
ban reciprocity and the Panama canal
treaties to secure their ratification con
tinues firm.
Business men of Bennettsville, S. C ,
have organized a company to plant in
fruit, melons and tobacco several hun
dred acres of land in the heart of the
sand hills near Osborne. Five thonsand
peach trees have already been set out,
and the number will be increased to
85,COO, covering 500 acres. Until the
peach trees come into bearing the land
will he planted in melons and tobacco,
and a large poultry farm will be star
ted. To enable the large number of em
ployes to haye work all the year round,
a knitting mill will be built.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 27.—State En
tomologist W. M. Scott, who has just
concluded an investigation of the fruit
situation, declares the entire peach
crop of North Georgia is a wreck, and
that there is hardly an orchard north
of Atlanta that will turn out a crate of
peaches this season.
Bloating after eating, indigestion,
flatulence or water brash, may be
quickly corrected through the use of
Prickly Ash Bitters. It strengthens
digestion, cleanses and regulates the
bowels. DR. E. E. DIXON & Co.

BIRMINGHAM PICTURES.
They Were Mere Paper, but They
Subdued, tbe Artist Turner.
Turner, the great landscape painter,
was a curious mixture of parsimony
and generosity, determined money
grubbing and unreckoning devotion to
his art He would drive a hard bar
gain one day and the next refuse to
sell at any price. Intending purchas
ers were sometimes excluded from his
gallery, and the refusal of admission
was communicated in anything but a
polite manner.
Mr. Gillott, the wealthy pen manu
facturer of Birmingham, once proved
himself equal to the task of storming
the castle in the teeth of the gruff art
ist and his doorkeeper and achieving a
bargain. A book on Turner gives the
story.
Mr. Gillott was met at the door of
Turner’s house by an old woman, who
opened the door and asked the gentle
man’s business.
“Can’t let ’e in!” she snapped out,
when he told her, and tried to slam the
door.
But Mr. Gillott had put his foe* in
side the door and without waiting for
permission N pushed past the enraged
janitress and hurried upstairs to the
gallery. Turner met him like a spider
whose web has been invaded. The in
truder introduced -himself and said
that he had come to buy.
“Don’t want to sell!” was the an
swer.
“Have you seen our Birmingham pic
tures, Mr. Turner?” inquired the visit
or, as calmly as if he had been received
as a gentleman should be.
“Never heard of ’em,” said Turner.
Mr. Gillott took from his pocket some
Birmingham bank notes.
“Mere paper,” remarked Turner, who
evidently enjoyed the joke.
“To be bartered for mere canvas,”
said the visitor, waving his hand to in
dicate the paintings on the wall. His
tone—perhaps also the sight of the
“mere paper”—conquered Turner, and
when the visitor departed he had bar
gained for several valuable pictures.
THE MISSING FOWL.
An Experience Witb an Absent-
minded English Artist.
Wills Invited me to dinner one after
noon when I met him in the Strand. I
accepted, reminding him that as he
was absentminded he had better make
a note of tbe evening. As he had no
paper in his pocket he wrote the date
on his shirt cuff. When the appointed
evening arrived I went to his studio.
The door was opened by Wills, and I
could see that he had forgotten all
about the appointment. “Ah, old fel
low,” he exclaimed, “do not be too
hard on me. Tbe cuff went to the
wash, and the date with it. But there
is a fowl in the pot boiling here,” con
tinued Mr. Wills. “Just come in and
wait a few minutes.”
I had my misgivings, but walked in
side and sat down upon the only chair
not crowded with paint, brushes and
palettes. After waiting for about
twenty minutes, feeling deucedly hun
gry, I groaned. This,had the effect of
reminding Wilis that I was present.
He exclaimed in a dreamy voice, “The
fowl must be boiled by this time,” and
coming forward he lifted the lid of the
pot and peered inside. “It is very
odd,” he remarked, “but I cannot see
the fowl. Extraordinary! No one has
been here, so the bird cannot have
been stolen.”
Well, the long and short of it is that
a week or two later I called again at
the studio, noticed a peculiar odor and
discovered the old fowl wrapped up in
a piece of brown paper. “Ah!” said
Wills, “now I know how It all hap
pened. When the fowl was brought in
there came a smart visitor—Lady G.—
about sittings for her portrait I must
have thrown the fowl behind a canvas
and forgotten all about it. But now,
old fellow, do shut up!”—London Mail.
Tbe Parsee.
The Parsee, untrammeled by his sur
roundings, is seen in Bombay in all his
wealth of height and dress. The men
are, without exception, tall, finely
formed and stately and possess a ro
bustness and beauty quite at contrast
with their Hindoo neighbors.
Their street costume is a peculiar
long white cotton gown, wide trousers
of the same material and color and -
tall miter shaped hat. They have a
general reputation for sobriety, frugali
ty and sagacity, and they seem to
thoroughly understand the accumula
tion of fortunes, in this respect resem
bling the Hebrews. The wealthiest
residents of Bombay are Parsees.
Where Cobraa Are Held, to Be Sacred.
The Hindoos on account of their su
perstition are very loath to destroy u
cobra. It appears prominently in their
mythology, and it is venerated both as
a symbol of a malicious and destruc
tive power and also a beneficent one.
According to Mr. A. K. Forbes, cobras
are looked upon as guardian angels,
and there is a Bengalese tradition that
a male infant auspiciously shaded by a
cobra will come to the throne?
