NOW, GIVE ATTENTION To the purification of your blood, for at no season is the body so susceptible to the benefits to be /rived from a good medicine, as in March April and May. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the people’s fav or ite spring medicine. It stands unequalled for purifying ihe blood, curing’ scrofular, suit rlicuni, etc., regulating the kidneys and liver, repairing nerve tissues, strength¬ ening and invigorating the whole body, as well as checking the progress cf acute and chronic dis¬ ease, and restoring the afflicted parts to a natural, healthy condi¬ tion.

The personality of Mr. Cleve¬ land in the politics of this country seems likely to become more and more magnified to the view as the events in which he was the central figure recede into the past.

Longstreet’s dwelling, with its en¬ tire contents, was distroyed by tire. Fire broke out at 12 o’clock and consumed his house near Gaines¬ ville. His loss is about eight thousand dollars and it is a very severe blow to the old soldier. There is not a man who will fail to sympathize with General Long street in this misfortune. The house was a large two story framed structure about a mile from Gainesville. It stood on the crest of a hill and overlooked a valley which was filled with trees. From the front veranda the eye would •take in a long sweep of green, be¬ yond which were picturesque hills and further still were the beautiful Blue Bidge mountains. There is hardly anywhere in Georgia a more beautiful or inspiring view. We hope the general is able to rebuild his house. It was a pleasant place in which to spend the closing years of a long and eventful life. But we fear he will not be able to do so, as he had no insurance. FOUND IN THE NEWSPAPER.

Mr. John W. Stacy the father of Bev. James Stacy, D. D., of Newnan, and Mr. T. G. Stacy of Brunswick, was the sur¬ veyor. His work was very accu¬ rate, and the needle of the old compass is still true. Quite a number of boys in the Brad well Institute in the past sixteen or seventeen years have been inducted into the mysteries of surveying with the aid of this old compass. A town may be correctly jud ged by its newspapers. If they are full of news, well edited and well printed, and if they are lib erally patronized by advertisers, it is safe to assume that the town is a well governed and prosperous one, and that its people are ener getio and thrifty. The weekly press, as a whole, is a power in moulding public opinion, because it finds its way into almost every home.—Savannah News.

It was his dying request that this examina tiou he made; and he gave as his reason that, while it could do him uo good, it might benefit some Strange, r but 'f 7 true. “ His couditioa. disease was peculiar and stubborn. The duo fc or8 report that he died of heart a “ d U V*« ^ ^ ° f hi « lloart had oelarged, the other had diminished; while his left lung had colla psed. —““ ““ A young divine tells a story of a gloom who, after the marriage ceremony, slipped ft $2 bill into his hand, murmuring, apolgetic ally, “I’ll do better next time.” For a squirrel a men cut down a large popular tree ois the place of Col. T. C. Zftchry, at peach Stone Shoals. The colonel had the tree cut and sawed uud sold the lumber for $40 cash. A good joke is related of a sis¬ ter belonging to a church of Cov¬ ington, who was devotedly attach¬ ed to her pastor, and piously taught her children to reverence the minister above all men. They were strictly and conscientiously taught that, when speaking of him in comparison with other men or things, ho must always be excep¬ ted us the greatest and best. This rule was so rigidly adhered to by the good mother, and the children were so punctiliously trained with rogard to their high esteem and partiality for the min¬ ister, that they never spoke of any one or anything without al¬ ways adding the ouo exception. Now, it so happened one day that one of the little boys who was a precocious youngster of 6 years was out playing in the fields near his home, and discovered an im¬ mense hog grazing in the pasture, when he became alarmed and ran to the house with all the swift ness his little legs could carry him. Upon reaching the “parental ha veil oi safety,” and almost out of breath, he called to his mother with ail the animation and ardor of his boyish nature: “Oh! mam¬ ma! I saw the biggest hog down yonder in the field that I over saw iu my life—except our minister!” You can never judge of a man’s sorrows by the size of his hatband. A TBUE TONIC.
