No reward is of¬ fered; they are gone forever,” ELDER MATTHEW SIKES. How to be Heajtpy. Editor 1 lispatch : Ttfero is noth¬ ing so important to the human fam¬ ily as good health. Without it, the crown of a King and the gold of Ophir are empty toys and life is a I burden. If 1 had all the money that has been wasted for patent medicines in trying to of tain and preserve good health 1 would bo the richest muu in Georgia. 1 am going to give your readers a gratuitous prescription, and if they will observe directions closely and ever got sick afterwards, I will treat them free. Many dis¬ eases are inherent—transmitted from parent to child and are incurable. Therefore, it is a great importance to so manage, if possible, as to be born of healthy parentage. But if you have not taken that-preeaution, we must treat the case as it is. First, you are to guard well your dieting, both in kind and quantity. Experience has already taught you what you should not eat, and you should btoed it or you will suffer the consequences. Over-eating is only a greedy habit, and can be culti¬ vated into gormanism. Such peo¬ ple are always grunting with dis- pepsia and taking pills to counteract their gluttony. Half the cases of indigestion could be roleived by eat¬ ing less and working more. Laziness is often a prime factor in disease. A certain amount of bodily exercise is indispensible to good health ; hence, a kind providence has ordained that a man must eat to live and work to eat. Stimulants should be used very cautiously, if at all. A healthy person don’t need it, but it can be used until the system will not run at all without it. The tobacco users, I in its various forms, would sooner be without their dinner than their tobacco. The habitual drinker rises much earlier than he otherwise would, to take his morning dram, nor: is he lit for anything until he gets it. I once knew a preacher that could scarcely preach at all un¬ less he was half drunk. Then he was able, profound and handled his sub¬ jects easy. He knew it and freely confessed it to me. It'was the re¬ sult of an early habit, from which he could not escape. I don’t tell this to ibduce other preachers to get drunk to see if it will make them preach bettor, but to warn young men agaifist forming the ruinous habit. Now, every reader will be ready to say “This preacher was a Hardshell Baptist,” but he was not, but was a good, unfortunate man, and-agood preacher. Thousands of chronic cases of sick-headache are induced by the use of coffee, and then coffee must be used to prevent it. Strange fact, but it is true. I have been a great sufferer from sick-headacho, and without a cup of coffee for breakfast I was sure for it. And during the four years of Confederate war, when I got no coffee, I never had an at¬ tack of headache after a short time at first. Many more points belong to this line of health directory, but I have given more now than will bo ob¬ served. and I will only add one more, vis : If you would be healthy you must never allow yourself to get mad. It has been proven by dem¬ onstration that digestion does not progress at ail while a person is mad. If one should continue mad for a month, his system would perish for want of nourishment. A real mad person never wants to eat. Digestion is stopped and there is no demand for more. As you prize your own health* as well as the good feelings of others, refrain from getting mad, else you forfeit recourse on my guarantee of health. M. Sikes. W. IL Mashbtirn, a young man who formerly resided in Ashburn, but who for the past year or more has been clerking, in a drug store in Valdosta, will go to. Fitzgerald and start a drug store iff his own right. Mr. Mashbufn is a young man wholly deserving of success, indus¬ trious, honest and straightforward in all of Ins business transactions, a perfect gentleman, and we can heartily commend him to the good- people of Fitzgerald. That he, will be successful there goes without say¬ ing,- Ashburfi Advance.

In almost every neighborhood there is some one whose life has been saved by Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol¬ era and Diarrhoea Remedy, or who has been cured of chronic diarrhoea by the eso of that medicine.

We heard a mother of lady-like daughters say, “I tell my girls that poverty will not hurt them, but mis¬ conduct will—that good behavior is what they most need.” 1 did not wonder at their nice manners but thought, “What a heritage for those girls—discipline, worth more to them than would be a gold mine.”-—Adel N ews. As the season of the year when pneumonia, la grippe, sore throat, coughs, colds, catarrh, bronchitis and lung troubles are to be guarded against, nothing “is a fine substi¬ tute,” will “answer the purpose” or¬ is “just as good” as One Minute Cough Cure. That is the one in¬ fallible remedy for all lung, throat or bronchial troubles. Insist vig¬ orously upon having it if “some¬ thing else” is offered you. Luke & Ashley.

Stone, of the Savan¬ nah News,- is now in the race for governor, of Georgia. If elected (of which there can be no reasonable doubt), his first official act will be to abolish poverty.—Ocilla Dispatch. Then he can’t get the Gazette’s vote; that’s a dead moral certainty. This is the most underhand attempt to abolish country newspapers ever brought before the pmblic, and Col. Stone is the last man we would have ever believed guilty of it.—Tifton Gazette. Then poverty and the country newspapers is one and the same thing, eh! Well, give Col. Stone lime. He can easily change his platform.if public opinion seems to-justify; it.
