MERE AND THERE.
It, is among ‘ho impossibilities
to imagine tin grandeur and im¬
mensity of the Exposition with¬
out seeing it. We spent a day
on the grounds recently, and
knowing that our time was very
limited wo made the best of it,
but 1‘ouml when night came that
Wo had had merely a glimpse of
;he show. Opinions differ as
to how long a careful study of
the exhibits, etc , would require;
we think a person could snend
a month very profitably on the
groutids.
Prob.ablv the most important
u atii , woVn-nrd ue ifiainea ™ u.ls m out r nwn own
insignificance and inability. He
who goes through the manufac¬
turers’ or electricity buildings
and is not impressed in a like
manner to ourself must be either
a genius or an egotist.
It is safe to say that the ma
of the business enterprise?
connected with the Exposition
will be successful, and that a
number of the proprietors of the
various “stands” will be posses¬
sors of small fortunes when the
fair closes. Among these will be
the German, who deals out*roast
beef sandwiches and milk to the
crowds, 200 or 300 yards from
the Jackson street entrance. Ho
understands his business, and
he is coining the money.
In one of the buildings (we for¬
get which) there is a. man soiling
cotton, who is, no doubt, realiz¬
ing a better profit from the sta¬
ple than our farmers—the price
is ten cents per boll. Of course
these are not bought by South¬
erners.
It is useless to say the midway
is great. Only a word of advice
we would whisper : If thou hast
money, sweet friend, take it not
with thee upon the midway, for
the spielers there are wolves in
sheeps’ clothing, and will de
spitefully use thee, enticing
from thee thy hard-earned coins,
yea, verily, until thou hast not
enough left to purchase one
small size ten cent sandwich.

her neighbor, who is pictured as

a Northerner the production is
er « 3 conception of the South and
Southerner is very much like
the small boy’s idea of tho“wild

dents there—a lawless country
where human life is held cheap.
Therefore, such examples of
Southern manhood as is por¬
trayed in the aforesaid ariicle,
even though it be fiction, does
injustice to the South because it
is false and sustains the domi¬
nant sentiment in the North.
From the Augusta Chronicle, Nov. 5.
Eugene Field is dead, This
brief announcement will carry
sadness to many a heart, for it
was in the hearts of men and
women that the famous news -
paper man was enshrined.
Many a father and mother who
never saw the big hearted West¬
erner feel a personal bereave¬
ment in his death. Eugene Field
was a man of rare humor; but
“There is uota string attuned to mirth,
Bgt has its chord iu melancholy.”
And in his tender lullabies.
and touching verses about
children he has sung Ids way in¬
to the hearts "f parents lhe
vvoild over, What c add be
more true to nature, mote sim¬
ple, and yet nmre touching titan
these familiar lines to
“little boy blue.”

Night before lastEugene Field
retired in his accustomed health,
but like Little Boy Blue, he was
“awakened by an angel song”
and we love to think ’tvvas
“The loueb of a little hand,
An l tiie »miles of a beaming face”
that lured him to the bright be
yond, and left the world richer
because he had lived in it, and
poorer because he died.
AN OLD MAN’S COUNSEL
Mr. Monroe Davidson,of Green¬
ville, Ga. , says May 21st, 1895 :
“I have used Royal Germeteur
for Kidney Troubles from which
I have suffered from boyhood.
It gave me relief in a few clays,
and is the only medicine that
has ever given me any perma¬
nent relief. I take pleasure in
recommending it to any cue suf¬
fering from any kind of Kidney
trouble. I believe it is the best
thing that old people can use for
debility and nervousness.” New

“Going into a decline.” Hew
often do we hear this expression.
What does it mean? It moans
that people are losing flesh,grow¬
ing thin, wasting. Thu way to
correct this condition is to im¬
prove the digestion. The con¬
dition arises from an inability
to eat and digest food. In iact
food does more harm than good,
because it ferments and putre¬
fies in the stomach, developing
poisonous substances which
when absorbed cause various
disorders. What is required is
that the stomach be made toper
form its duties. Hie Shaker Di
gestive Cordial is a food already
digested and a digester of
as well. It will make the stem
ach heafty. Get a book from
the drugist and read about it.

and everyone needs it at ail times of the
year. Malaria is always about, and the
only preventive and relief is to keep the
Liver active. You must help the Liver a bit,
and the best helper is the Old Friend, SIM¬
MONS Liver Regulator, the red z.
Mr. C. Himrod, of Lancaster, Ohio,
says: “SIMMONS LIVER REGULATOR
broke a case of Malarial Fever of three
years’ standing for me, and less than
one bottle did the business. I shall use
it when in need, and recommend it.”
Be sure that you get it. Always look for
the RED Z on the package. And don’t
forget the word REGULATOR, it is SIM¬
MONS Liver Regulator, and there is
only one, and every one who takes it is
sure to be benefited. THE BENEFIT IS
ALL IN THE REMEDY. Take it also for
Biliousness and Sick Headache; both are
caused by a sluggish Liver.

A good recommendation for
Simmons Liver Regulator is,
that it is purely vegetable and
strongly tonic. Then too, it is
better than Pills because easier
to take in liquid or powder and
with no griping, while the relief
from Constipation, Biliousness.
Sick Headache and Dyspepsia is

As a tonic for weak children and
as a remedy for use in teething, it is
the greatest in the world.
