I SIMMONS m 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 Is on the wrapper. J. H. Zeilin A Co., Philadelphia.

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 caa rule a bull In Georgia anywhere 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¬ reer since the war is not at all enviable, 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.

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.

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 Georgia, Rockdale County.—To Mr AH Whom It May Concern : j - Alice H.
