REGULATOR
Are you taking Simmons Liver Reg
tlator, the “Kino op Liver Medi¬
cines?” That is what our readers
want, and nothing but that. 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 gTipes, 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
znons Liver Regulator.
He sure you get it. The Bed Z

Dr. Q. R. McCall died at bis home iu
Macon this week. lie was a line preach

denomination, having held many re
sponsible positions.
It is now definitely decided that there
will be no bull fight in Atlanta, but
the Mexicans will ride a bull anyhow.
There Is no law against this. Anybody

whenever be leels like it.
General Muhone, who distinguished
himself as a Confederate command¬
er, died last Tuesday at his home in
Virginia. He was of the first families
of his State and did well—but his ca¬

It is now said that Watson will con¬
test the seat of of Major Black, alleg¬
ing, as usual, fraud. We are sorry of
this for wo indulged the hope that the
election on the 3rd inst. was satis¬
factory to all concerned and that the
strife in the loth was at an end.
This week the Central railrold main
line was sold at public oiucry in Savan¬
nah. It brought $ 2 , 000,000 and was
bought by Ryan an I Thomas. It was
a B ul event to that ol.l stockholder who
was at the throwing out of the first
dirt in 1837—witnessed the sale by the
sheriff' in ’95.
la the little town of Acre, south
we-t Ga , there are only forty voters.
Only one of these registered for the
municipal election. He voted for him¬
self as mayor and elected the en
tire board of councilman. This is tru¬
ly one nun power, but the people
to blame, for not registering.
It has never, does not, nor never will
pay for editors to criminae and re¬
criminate each other. The accusing
and the abusing of each other do them
no good and is of no interest to others.
We hope our brethren of the pr<ss a
Rome will amicably adjust their differ¬
ences, and be sure to write nothing
more on t hat line—that is on the line of
peisonal attack and abuse.
This is the right and commendable
wa? to do: “A citizen from Powder
Springs came to pay his subscription
to the Journal last week. He said: ‘1
have just sold my cotton at over $4o
per bale, nearly double what I got last
year.’ He was feeling good and the
first thing he thought of was to pay
his subscription to his county paper,
which he says he couldn’t do without.
Let others do likewise.”—Marietta

The old Liberty Bell arrived in At¬
lanta Tuesday. It was escorted from
Philadelphia by a committee of gentle¬
men from that citv. Upon its arrival
great demonstrations were made in At¬
lanta by the tiring of thirteen guns,
representing the thirteen original
states. Wednesday was Liberty Bell
day, when the crowds viewed this si¬
lent "eminder of the days of ’76 and
the struggle to ithrow off the British
yoke. The children were out en
masse to take a look at this relic of ’76
and to enjoy the world in miniaturo,
visiting the many places of interest.
Wilkes county will go for Lawson
and sound money when the time comes.
Judge Lawson announced himself for
sound mpney while it was difficult to
say how the next election would go.
He knew that the silver standard would
ruin the country for a long time, and
must ultimately give way to gold or in¬
ternational biinetalism. Whether it
would do so in time to give him the
next election, he could not certainly
know. But he came out when there
was some risk, and now he is immense¬
ly strengthened. The Atlanta Consti¬
tution and the ring may trot out their
candidate. They will be beaten. In
fact the support of the Constitution is
a pressage of defeat.—Washington Ga¬
zette.
TATTLING.
There is nothing more com¬
mon than falsehood. A man
of sober intelligence remarked
the other day in the hearing of
the writer that we have great¬
er liars amongst us than Ana¬
nias. Can it be so ? It is to
be feared that the grave charge
is too well founded. Envy, a
love of of gain and a desire to
carry a point have led many to
uttering falsehood to the
wounding and injury of their
fellow-men. Now, a wound
from the tongue is worse than
a wound from the sword. The
latter will heal. The words of
a tale bearer or as wounds. The
tale bearer is a sore plague in
any community. “Where no
wood is the fire goeth out, so
where there is no tale
bearer strife ceaseth;” “Sure¬
ly the serpent will bite without
enchantment and a babbler is
no better.” One of our maxims
is that the fool’s tongue is long
enough to cut his throat. In
old times the same pests ‘were
found engaged in the same per¬
nicious conduct. Paul says
“they are idle, wandering about

how such should be discourag
e( ] by turning a deaf ear to
their tale8 . If none will dance
they will not pipe. Me WHO
c omplaceotly listens to lying
mouths talking to the injury
of others is a partaker of his
sins. It has been well said that
that tale bearer and the cale
hearer should both he hanged—
one by the tongue and the oth¬
er by the ear. Yes, and tney
should be left hanging, as on
the gibbet. A good man will
not take up a reproach against
his neighbor and a manly man
will condemn it. Such people,
like lepers, should not be allow¬
ed to roam at will. In some
parts of India the convicted of
tattling is taken to a public
place and in the presence of the
multitude his mouth is sewed
up. If a similar penalty were
inflicted on such offenders here
what silence would reign. A
woman contessed to a priest
that she was a scandal monger.
He gave her some thistle seeds
and told her to scatter them to
the winds By and by he told
her to gather them up. She
said it was impossible, Then
he told her it would be more
difficult to gather up and de¬
stroy the evil (reports she had
circulated about others. The
evil word spoken is gone and
can’t be oveitaken. A lie will
run ten miles while truth is
putting on her boots. See to it
then that every one speak the
truth to his neighbor and that
meddlesom, busy toodies be
frowned down in every part of
our land. -X -X
