A Letter From Prof. James luCleM Alvarado, Texas, Sept. 25’95. Capt. J. B. Beese, Dear Comrade : I arrived at my destiny on Tuesday morning after I left your town on Friday. I found everything all right and went to work the same day. From Atlanta to Birmingham I found crops good, especially com ; cotton very good. From Birmingham to Memphis the crops, neither com nor cotton, were so good. From Memphis to Little Rock crops were much better. From Little Rock to Texarkana corn is fine ; cotton sorry. From Texarkana to Dal both corn and cotton are much better. Cotton is not good for Texas. Here in this (John¬ son) county, com is fine and sell¬ ing for 15, 17 and 20 cents per bushel—as flue corn as can be raised anywhere. This is all prairie land. Timber only on water courses, and they are not near each other. The soil is deep and black, when it rains, is so sticky can hardly get along, neither in buggies nor walking. I have seen the wheels of vehicles as solid as if they had been sawed from a log. The health of the people is generally good. I haven’t heard of any chills since I have been here. We can’t get a real good drink of water here without put¬ ting ice in it. It is healthy wa¬ ter, only hot ; not near as cold as the water iD old Georgia. All the' merchants are looking for a big trade this fall. Good farm hands get $15 to $20 per month. I was talking today with a gentleman who said he had land that he would gather 75 bushels of com per acre from. Land is worth from $40 to $75 per acre. This is a fine country for tak¬ ing buggy rides-, the country is so level and roads so bard and firm—when it dont rain. Tou don’t see much driving when the land is wet. I will send you a little budget of news occasionally. Your friend, J. M. McClelland. Box 9, Alvarado, Texas.

From The Newsmen. _ _ Moreslins Items Told h Paramlis • Mr. Matt Maddox exhibited in McDonough one day this week some of the finest speci¬ mens of mica (or what is com¬ monly known as isinglass) we ever saw. The sheets were about 10 x 15, and perfectly transparent, Mr. Maddox has a large bed of it near Moseley’s mill, in which is a large clear rock weighing a thousand pounds. This discovery was made several years ago, but no definite steps have yet been tak¬ en to develop the mine. When done it is bound to prove of great value.—Henry County Weekly. A newspaper lias at least 5,000 readers to 1,000 subscri¬ bers. A merchant who puts out 1,000 handbills gets 300 or 400 people to read The handbills cost as much as a good advertisement in his home newspaper. All the women and girls and half the men and boys ead t q e advertisements, The merchant who uses the uewspa per has 4,500 more readers There is no estimating the amount of'business that adver tising brings to a merchant, but that each dollar invested brings a good return there is no doubt. —Exchange. An Advertiser man was shown by Mayor Mustiu the other day an ear of corn which is indeed a wonderful freak of nature or a new variety of maize, Every grain on the cob is enclosed in a miniature shuck, and it seems to be an car within itself. The corn was raised by old man Al fred Watts, colored, one of Ool. Mustin’s tenants on his Sliouse’s hill place. He planted a grain of corn which he found in a sack of coffee, and this is the result, Now, the question is, whether is a freak or an established va riety. The stalk contained two ears just alike.—Madison Adver tiser. Quite a lively scene transpired on the streets of Covington last Tuesday evening. The partici¬ pants were a dun colored horse and his determined driver. Just as the horse walked up in front of Mr. T. C. Swann’s store, and apparently without any provo¬ cation whatever, began to feel of the dashboard with his heels, wnereupon the driver vacated at once by falling out behind. The horse continued to kick, and the people were yelling ’and whooping from all parts of square. The horse had just been swapped for, and was fresh from the tender hands of the gypsies.—Covington Star. Now the southern farmer en¬ joys opportunities of improving his home and surroundings, of educating his children and of en¬ joying some of the pleasures of life.

Strictly speaking, cotton is an ali the year crop. Sometimes a fair crop is grown after early grain, but a first class crop re¬ quires a year in the preparation, cultivation and harwsiing. Not so with the food crop. Two crops may often be grown on Lllre same ground and splendid result obtained. Cotton should only be grown as a suiplus crop in this section, after the food amply provided . for, Crops are and when it reaches that stage, it Will ... become profitable ,, , . a crop in the south, and not before, rni That , IS . exactly . , what . , \ve nano with those robust fellow citizens from the west down here. We want them to set examples an to act as object lessons for our own people to profit by. I am southern and could! never brook the idea of surren dering our birth right and leav¬ ing to strangers' the honor and profit of developing the resources ot this wonderful country of ours. I want to see our own generous & hearted, glorious ” Geor gians sharem all the good is to come to us as the prospects grow brighter. To me these Georgia folks, among whom I have lived all my life, are the finest people on the face of the earth. That is the principal rea¬ son why I take to the big heart¬ ed westerners. They become the most enthusiastically Geor giaized ot anybody, after they have lived here a little.—M. M. Folsom in Rome Tribune.

What use is there in eating when food does you no good— in fact, when it does you more harm than good, for such is the ease if it is not digested. If you , have a loathing for food there is no use forcing it down, for it will not be digested. You must restore the digestive organs to their natural strength and cause the food to be digested when an appetite will come, and with it a relish for food. The tired, lan guid feeling will give place to vigor and energy, then you will put flesh on your bones and be come strong. The Shaker Di gestive Cordial is niad.i by the ' Mount Lebanon Shakers con¬ tains food already digested and is a digester of food as well. Its action is prompt and its effects permanent. Doctors prescribe Laxol be cause it has all the virtues of Castor Oil and is palatable.

It is the same old friend to which the old folks pinned their faith and were never dis appointed. But another good recom mendation for it is, that it is better than Pills, never gripes, never weak ens, but works in such an easy and natural way, just like nature itself, that relief comes quick and sure, and one feels new all over. It never fails. Everybody needs take a liver remedy, and everyone should take only Sim mons Liver Regulator. Be sure you get it. The Red n is on the wrapper. J, H. Zeilin 8p Co., Philadelphia.
