Suffered 20 Years.
M BS. MART LEWIS, wife of a promi
nent farmer, and well known by all
old residents near Belmont, N. Y,.
writes: “For twenty-seven years I had been
a constant sufferer from nervous prostra
tion, and paid large sums of money for doc
tors and advertised remedies without bene
fit. Three years ago my condition was
alarming; the least noise would startle and
unnerve me. I was unable' to sleep, had a
number of sinking spells and slowly grew
worse. I began using Dr. Miles* Restorative
Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills. At first
the medicine seemed to have no effect, but
after taking a few bottles I began to notice
a change; I rested better at night, my appe
tite began to improve and I rapidly grew
better, until now I am as nearly restored
to health as one of my age may expect. God
bless Dr.Mlles’Nervine. 1

His Face Encouraged Him.
It is related of Jefferson that
while riding in company with two
young men, he came to a creek so
swoUen by a shower that the wa
ter was up to the saddlegirths.
A man, standing on the bank
with a saddle- on his shoulders,
looked at the young men as they
rode into the stream, but said
not a. word. As Mr. Jefferson
came along, the stranger asked if
he could not be allowed to mount
behind and thus be carried across.
The President reined his horse
up to a stone, the man mounted,
and when across, expressed his
thanks and walked away. Several
men who had seen the novel ferry,
asked:
“What made you let the young
men pass, and why did you ask
the old gentleman?”
“Wal, if you want to know, I’ll
tell you. I reckon a man carries
‘yes’ or ‘no’ in his face. The
young chaps’ faces said ‘no,’ and
the old ’un’8 said ‘yes.’ ”
“It isn’t every one,” said one of
the party, “who would have asked
the President of the United States
for a ride.”
“What! You don’t mean to say
that was Tom Jefferson, do you?
Wai, he’s a fine fellow, anyway.
What will Polly say when I tell
her I have rid behind President
Jefferson? She’ll say I voted for
the right man.”—Chicago Journal.
Not Strange
That so many people have lost
confidence in Medicines that
have been palmed off on the
public as “cures’ * for every dis
ease with which the human
race is afflicted and frequently
persons refuse to believe any
thing they hear about a reliable
remedy.

INVITED TO GEORGIA.
An Open Letter to New England
Mill Men.
Mr. R. H. Smith of Gainesville,
Ga., who is convinced that “the
report of the committee of the
Arkwright Club, of Boston, pub
lished in the Manufacturers’ Rec-'
ord of the 24th ult. is, to mv
mind, the most convincing state
ment, which has ever been given
to the public, that the South is
the natural home of the cotton
mill, and the Piedmont belt is the
section above all others in the
South, for the manufacture of
cotton,” extends the following
open invitation to New England
mill men:
“I do here and now invite you
to this, my home, and ask that
you come and establish at this
point five or six good cotton mills.
We need you, and you need what
we have to offer you. We offer
you firsfr, a hearty co-operation,
a magnifient climate, a country so
abundanty supplied with food and
fuel that operatives can live
cheaper than anywhere else, and
building material lower in price
than in any other section of our
countrv. The cotton is so white
and superior in quality in this
and surrounding counties that it
is sought for by factors and ex
porters ip our ports and demands
a better price, and is known as
‘Hall cotton,’ taking its name
from this county. We can offer
splendid cotton mill sites right
here on the railroads. Another
great advantage we may offer you,
which is so much to be considered
in the constructing and operating
a plant, is electric-power, fur
nished at a low rental, generated
by water-power and transmitted a
short distance to the mills. Again,
we offer you the best and cheapest
labor in America, all things con
sidered.—Manufacturers Record.
Dr. T. J. Watts, Barnesville. Ga.
Dear Sir:—It affords me pleasure to
inform you that three applications of
Watts’ Eczema Ointment las entirely
removed a patch of tetter that has been
a great source of worry to me for 18
years. There is no sign of the eruption
now, and to all appearance the annoy
ing thing is entirely cured. I consider
this Ointment a great blessing to me,
and take pleasure in recommending it
to others who are troubled with any
skin eruptions. Very respectfully,
W. J. WmiilAMSON.
Barnesville, Ga., Aug. 23, 1897.
George Vanderbilt wants some
of Georgia’s hardwoods for his
princely Biltmore estate. Dr. C.‘
A. Schenk of Biltmore N. C., for
ester for the Biltmore place has
been in Atlanta. He has been
with Mr. Vanderbilt * for several
years, and has made the Biltmore
forests the finest in the country.
He has planted nearly every vari
ety of tree, and still wants more.
Mr. Schenk emphatically denied
that George Vanderbilt would
abandon' Biltmore. He said that
the millionaire, instead of aban
doning the famous estate, would
spend a great deal more money in
improving and beautifying the
place. Dr. Schenk spent several
days in Atlanta, and then went
further south to get up a collec
tion of trees for his employer’s
estate.
Senator Kenna’s Luck.
William E. Curtis tells a very
curious story about the late Sen
ator Kenna of West Virginia,
whose statue is to oe placed in the
Capitol. When he first came to
Congress, a Mrs. Kearon, who
lived in the same boarding house,
persuaded him to buy a ticket in
a raffle at a church fair for a
cooking stove and a complete
kitchen outfit. His ticket turned
out to be the lucky one, and he
sent the goods to his home in
West Virginia. While he was
arranging, for the shipment at the
railway station he was introduced
to the young lady who afterwards
became his wife, and jocularly in
vited her to become his cook. She
replied that she would be very
glad to do so. The next winter
Mrs. Kearon sold Mr. Kenna a
ticket in another fair given by
the same church. This time the
prize was a plain gold ring, and
he was again successful. He put
the ring carefully away until it
was needed at his wedding a few
months later, and it so happened
that his bride was the first person
to use the cook stove and to wear
the ring. Mrs. Kenna is now
postmistress at Charleston, W. Va.

Rather Inconsistent.
Brown—“Deacon Jones is the
most inconsistent man I ever saw.”
Green—“Why, how’s that?”
Brown—“You remember how
loudly he sung that old hymn, ‘I
Would Not Live Alway,’ in church
last Sunday?” .
Green—“Yes, I remember it.”
Brown—“Well, I saw him in a
drug store Monday morning buy
ing a bottle of cough medicine.”—

ONE OF TWO WAYS.
People are surprised at the wonder-
cures wrought by Dr. Ticheuor’s An
tiseptic, a remedy for Burns, Wounds
or other injuries.
The Japanese cite 269 (iolor
varieties*of theprysanthemum, of
which sixty-three are yellow,

The bladder was created for one pur
pose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from im
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. It is situated hack of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
fested in the bladder or urinary pas
sage is often, by mistake, attributed to
female weakness or womb trcjuble of
some sort. The error is easily made
and may be easily avoided. To find
out correctly, set your urine aside for
twenty four hours; a sediment or set
tling indicates kidney or bladder trou
ble. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, and bladder remedy is
soon realized. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. At drug]
gists fifty cents and one dollar. You
may have a sample bottle- and pam
phlet, both sent free by mail. Mention

“You did’nt remain very long
at the Christmas party?”
“No,” replied Willie Wishing-
ton. “I came away as soon as they
began asking conundrums. When
there are so many other things to
worry over, I don’t see why one
should fatigue his intellect to find
out what is the difference between
something and something else
which never resembled it, in the
first place, and whose difference
doesn ’t make any difference, any
how.”—Washington Star.
New England has 2.000,000 acres
of arable though abandoned land,
which was under cultivation
twenty years ago. John Wana-
maker and other philanthropic
capitalists are forming a corpora
tion to purchase and open these
lands to occupancy on such terms
as will induce people from the
congested city centers to go on
them and become self-supporting.
No Room for Doubt.
Proof, yes overwhelming proof can
be furnished of the excellent curative
qualities of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup.
“I caught a cold which led to a cough
and pain in the chest, (pneumonia?) I
bought Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup, and
after taking one bottle of it, the cough
began to disappear; when I finished
taking the second bottle I was cured. 1
