t 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 Dr. Miles' Remedies are sold by all drug gists under a positive guarantee, first bottle benefits or money re funded. Book on dis eases of the heart and nerves free. Address, DR. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind. 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.

IT IS THE KING OF ALL BLOOD REMEDIES. TOY AFRICANA. 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. —Syracuse Standard. Chronic Diseases. Cancers, old sores, rupture, fits and blood poison speedily and permanently cured.

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.”— Chicago News. 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, eighty-seven are white ? thirty-two are purple, thirty are red, thirty- one are pale pink,twelve are russet, any fourteen are of mixed colors. 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.

Slightly Involved. “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 Gustav Thurmaster, 49 Hickory St., Cleveland,O.” Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup costs but 25 cents.
