Castoria is Dr. Samuel Pitcher’s prescription for Infants
and Children. It contains neither Opium, Morphine nor
other Aar colic substance. It is a harmless substitute
for Paregoric, Drops, Soothing- Syrups, and Castor Oil.
It is Pleasant. Its guarantee is thirty years’ use by
Millions of Mothers. Castoria destroys Worms and allays
feverishness. Castoria prevents vomiting Sour Curd,
cures Diarrhoea and Wind Colic. Castoria relieves
” teething troubles, cures constipation and flatulency.
Castoria assimilates the food, regulates the stomach
and bowels, giving healthy and natural sleep. Cas¬
toria is the Children’s Panacea—the Mother’s Friend.
Castoria.
“ Castoria is ail excellent medicine for chil¬
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its
good effeet upon their children.”
Dr. G. C. Osgood,
_ Dowell. Mass.
“ Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the
real interest of their children, and use Castoria
instead of the various quack nostrums which
are destroying their loved ones, by forcing
opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other
hurtful agents down their throats, thereby
sending them to premature graves.”

Castoria.
“Castoria is so well adapted to children that
I recommend it as superior to any prescription
known to me.”
H. A. Archer, M. D.,
iii So. Oxford St., Brooklyn, N. V.
“ Our physicians in the children’s depart¬
ment have spoken highly of their experi¬
ence in their outside practice with Castoria,
and although we only have among our
medical supplies what is known as regular
products, yet we are free to confess that the
merits of Castoria has won us to look with
favor upon it.”

BY J-H- REESE (L
—
When room No. a at the hotel
was offered a young man of this
place a few days ago, he invol¬
untarily shuddered, and said :
“I’m not superstitious, hut
hang me if 1 sleep in that
room: r> He evidently was in
earnest, and was assigned an¬
other room.
Since then I have inquired in¬
to the history of No. 5, but can
ascertain no definite informa
tion concerning it. It is said that
several people have committed
suicide in the room referred to ;
the exact number is not known;
some say three and others five.
Be that as it may, it appears
that 5 has here superseded the
traditional 13 in affairs weird
and ill-omened, and that in the
room hovers the vulture of mel¬
ancholy and despair which .seiz¬
es the occupant in the dead of
night, when ali humanity, save
Dr. Guinn’s office boy, is wrapt
in the soothing embrace of Mor¬
pheus, and bids him to “shuffle
off this mortal coil” without de¬
lay.
We have often thought when a
subscriber grumbles about pay¬
ing-one dollar a year for his
county paper that the growling
should all come from the editor.
The actual cost of issuing each
copy of this paper is considera¬
bly more than $1 a year, and
this is true of every county pa¬
per. The long-suffering and be
nevolent editor asks only $1 for
his paper ; paying time arrives,
and he spends ten cents worth
or paper, envelopes and stamps
on each subscriber, notifying
him that his subscription is due;
a few subscribers respond cheer
fully ; some come in and swear
the dates are not correct; others
order the paper discontinued be¬
cause they got a dun, but never
offer to pay up to date ; there¬
upon the editor makes an apol
ogy worth, at least, twenty-five
cents, and so it goes. While on
this line we copy the following
from the Dalton Argus :
“The country newspaper business
stems to get somewhat poorer every
year. There was a time (riot farther
back than the seventies) when the
»r g o t .b.ou.of.vcry.„r,i. g
hshetl. a fee for every funeral notice
aud handsome pay for obituaries. All
these sources of revenue have almoit
totally ceased to meld—in the main, the
result of the ‘free’ practice, instituted
by many opposition papers in efforts to
get in the lead. The city papers still
get these tolls, but the country papers
do uot, with few exceptions.”
“Yes; this clock is correct!”
Mr. Norman has stuck the above
near the clock at the depot. I
don’t remember exactly how
many times a day Mr. Norman
has to vouch for the veracity of
the aforesaid timepiece, but the

voice had given place to a sub¬
dued mournful drawl,bis friends

< t it’s that blamed old clock.”
said Glenn, “I was passiu
through there one day and they
were crowded ’round Joe fit to
kill, every blamed one of ’em
asking him ‘Is this ’ere clock
right?' and after ’while when lie
was plum exhausted lie yelled
for Anthony to relieve him.
Have you noticed Anthony? He
looks worse’ll Joe—only not
so pale. He has said ‘Yes; de
clock are right’ so much that
when he is asked any question
upon any subject that demands
an affirmative answer, he will
invariably say, ‘Yes; de clock
are right,’ And his whiskers—
we ^> Us whiskers are a total
wreck. Of course his chin has
to move when he talks, and he
is compelled to talk incessantly.
Now, it seems that the continu¬
al fidgeting of the chin lias caus¬
ed the whiskers to take a turn
upward, so, when Anthony got
excited bis tonguewould become
entangled in the whiskers and
out they’d come,till none of them
are left. Joe once thought of
asking for an extra man, but he
thought he’d try the card plan, j
I m afraid, though, it won’t:

ed at the j
then turned to Joe and said : i
‘This clock right?’
‘Yes;didn’t you see that card?’
Joe replied.
‘Yes, I saw the card; who put
it there?’
‘I did.’
‘When?’
‘Several days ago.’
‘Clock mougbt’ve got wrong
sence then.’
‘I keep it regulated
‘Umph-humph! 1
There is no way to keep
folks from asking these ques¬
tions.” and Glenn turned bis at
tention to bis engine.
The case is serious, and Mr.
Norman has our sympathy.
A TRAGEDY.
[Augustus, a native of Conyers.
William Henry,a visiting friend.
Scene: Depot; W. H. just ar¬
rived.]
“William Henry, we have
been friends.”
„ A vene0 Augustus ° . a „ d
may the Silvern cord of loving
friendship that has hound OUT
hearts in sweetest harmony be
strengthened as time grows
long, aud”—
“Stop ! Such hypocritical lan¬
guage renders thee even more
contemptible ill my s’ght, I had
cherished the hope that when
we met thou vvouldst make
what puny amends that thou
couldst, and would upon thy
knees crave the pardon of the
populace of Conyers,whom thou
hast so deeply and basely wrong¬
ed with thy slanderous tongue.”
‘ ‘Friend Augustus,”—
“Call me not friend!!!”
“Noble Augustus, thy speech
and manner toward thy humble
friend is indeed mysterious. Ex¬
plain to him the cause of this
coldness, If thy servant’s
tongue hath wronged so much
NO. 49
as one Conyersite, I pray thee
to mb rock alum thereon!”
“Thou knov. est well the story.
Shall I repeat it?”
“ Thy servant listens.”
( t It is well. Perchance thou
rememberest. the night: The
silvery and placid moon drifted
in a. dreamy, cloudless sky and
her playful rays shone benevo¬
lently through a crack in Steph¬
enson & Turner’s hen coop, there
revealing the ghastly outlines of
a dissipated Dominic rooster,
who paced to and fro in stately
way, all the while mutteringThi
discontented undertone concern¬
ing his evening meal, which cm ■
sisted of a sardine box almost
full of water. Those who un¬
derstand rooster lingo say that
the absence of toothpicks was
the cause of his displeasure,and
that he intimated that tooth
picks were as “sea’ce es hen’s
teeth.” But I anticipate. The
exposition Flyer was heard, and
as it stopped I saw thy familiar
face at a window, but did not
greet thee, forlsaw thy vicious
eye. The bell rang, the train
started-— (Ah! thou dost turn
pale)—thou didst hoist the win
and there fell from thy
upon the ears of the throng the
fateful word—‘Eggs!’ I bad not
wherewith to avenge my noble
ancestry and myself, but I had
fc' ie satisfaction of seeing thy un
regenerate head covered with
an egg-nog ere the train passed!
From whence it came I know
not, but this hath proven to me
that the gods stand ready to
avenge Conyers folk when cal¬
umny is thus heaped upon their
heads. Thou canst not deuy this.
Get thee gone!!”
