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. * * _ . . r , entitled, “A Tragedy of South Carolina. The sentiment of ' lt is repulsive to us. The wri °‘ n ^ J %£ ZyZ her neighbor, who is pictured as a type of the ante-bellum South era gentleman. If the writer is 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 and woolly west” and the resi¬ 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.” A little tor dog, nil covi ied with d i-t.

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 package, large bottle, 108 doses, $1. For sale by Dr. W. II. Lee.

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.
