Ayer’s Cathartic Pills have no equal as a pleasant and effect¬ ual remedy for constipation, biliousness, sick headache, and all liver troubles. They are nugar-coated, and so perfectly prepared, that they cure with¬ out the annoyances experienced in the use of so many of the pills on the market. Ask j'o'ur druggist for Ayer’s Cathartic Tills. When other pills won’t help you, Ayer’s is THE PILL THAT WILL. Advertise your business, Don’t worry. Our farmers are urged to cheer up. ■ i'lioy have lost some fodder, soi vo corn in places and a little cotton, but they should not let thi i cause them to close their eyes to the fact that the land is filled wit h plenty. The Lord has smiled up 01 this section year after year; bounteous crops have been made and husbanded with hardly an ex¬ ception within our memory.. All this should be borne in mind him who walks about with a long fat e predicting dire distress and fearful calamity. Such talk does far more injury than the rains and storms have done and is to he deplored wherever heard. The country is allright and will continue to grow better daily if we can hold the calamity in check. JNo Reason For Ii. There is not a populist in the county who can give a good sound reason tor the existence of his par¬ ty in this county or State. As a National party it has no earthly chance taking the tight alone, and it is National evils it claims tode eiioto wipeout. So far as this State and county is concerned tin populists have no special grievance other than conies naturally lie cause of continued defeats. They desire office and can't get it as populists, hut they would, and in the past did, mu no good demo¬ crats. As such they w.ould heat perfect liberty to run for office. They are damaging now chasing a shadow which is to them, dnn gt rous for their posterity and ex¬ pensive to democracy. If they ait' wise they will return to the old party and resume their former good standing. N umber Regisierod.
