We hope our readers will bear with us patiently and when we get well regulated we will reward them. Just now there is a glimmer of hope that Congress will re¬ cognize the Cubans as beiiger ents and extend to them the right of beligereuts about the time they become truly victori¬ ous: Last Satuday the U. S. Sen¬ ate passed the free silver bill by a vote of I- to 35. Since the Exposition we have heard but little of Atlanta’s Trocadero until Samson, the stiong man, introduced a new feature last Wennesday night, in the shape of a “coo-chee coo-cliee-kan-kau-go-as-you please-do as you-please-masque hall It is reported as a most disgraceful affair. Congressman Livingston has introduced a bill asking for new post-office building in At lant-a, The bill provides for sale of the old building at tion and stipulates that the pro¬ ceeds of the sale go to the fund of $1,000,000 required for the uew building.

The Old Baptist Church, For yerha the scene of sot); and prayer and the gloriou° re suits of the powerful Holy Fpir it; hallowed by thousands sacred memories and heavenly feasts, stands to-day lit tit stages of decay, chain - c fide- 1 serted, cast aside. A I . :- -wo¬ tired it stands without service to render, a target for i hr :-nn l! boy and a rendezvous for the uncanny creatures of terious night. It is fast to pieces and unless it is cured foi will, in a few years, yield to tlio ravages of time. !; it is intended that it shall Stand as a relic it. should bo protected from depredations. If there are intentions it i dive to we humbly suggest that it be torn away and the other removed to the lot it oc* cupics. This change can be I1J ade and at the same time the church can be re modeled at a nominal cost. The old church is becoming an eye-sore—it stands in its fast decaying con dition a simultaneous der of past joys and sorrows, past dissention and dissolution. What is to be done with it? It is a magnificent church lot, and decidedly the best location for the church. But should the good Baptists see proper not to use it,the old building should be torn away that it may not stand a rebuke and a censure to the past and present. ft ie a big thing to say but neverthe¬ less true, rii&t a great muHitude of peo¬ ple have crowned Simmons Medicine* Liver Reg¬ .” ulator, tho “K ing of Liver There is nolhi ig like it for Malaria, Rlieumatism, Chills and Fever, Ueiulaehe, Con¬ stipation, Biiiotuuc-s, and «fl (roubles sick nr-ing Indigeviioa as'uggisfi diseased liver.

The word consumption means wasting awav, and dyspeptics often waste away as badly as consump¬ tives. The reason people waste away is Le cause either they don’t get enough to eat, or the? dou’t direst what they do !
