WHAT THE DOT. LAW ntOPOSRS.
??first dog law of the session Was i
) by Colonel R. A. Alston. He
iutro-
pro-
asks, "What is tlie legislature going to do
for us farmers?"
Well, we da not know that the legislature
will do anything in particular for farmers.
And, my friend, I would say to you, do not
depend too much on the legislature, but on
yourself. Let them, amend laws, re(>eal
acts and construe clauses of the constitu
tion. and then reconsider their work, but as
for yon, live in dignity on your,farw; make
good cotton, butter, chickens, eggs; rai-e
abundant crops and fine stock. Makingbad
laws, or tinkering with good ones, will not
particularly increase tlie prosperity of Geor
gia. Let the legislature alone; close your
li(>soii tlie subject of hard times. Rise to
the emergency and be a man. for Georgia???s
wealth and advancement largely depends on
the calling you have attached yourself to.
There is no claw or interest that can do as
much to place the state above hard times iu*
tlie one to which you belong.

SWEET POTATOES BADLY DEGEXERATED.
A few years ago tlie sweet potato, es
pecially the yam, was among the most de
licious, enjoyable and wholesome articles of
food that came upon our tables. This is
not now the case in Atlantaand its vicinity,
and has not been since the St. Domingo
dious and tasteless ??? St Domingo has been
extensively raised of late years. It is tin-
savorv and insipid, ami hickory chips
would taste equally as well, if they were
tender. It is far inferior to the Irish pt??
tato. I ant glad the |>onple af Atlantu are
learning their inferior quality and are
largely refusing to buy them. Dealers in
groceries and vegetables are complaining of
them as hard stock. 1 trust our farmers and
market gardeners will go back to the old-
fashioned yellow yarn, for tlie 8t Domingo
is a fraud. * I hope the people of the city
who buy vegetables and who desire to have
good articles of food rather than poor ones
will call for the yellow yam when they want
sweet potatoes.. If this is done, farmers will
again go to raising them. A. B.

2*1. I keep an experienced buyer in New York all the time, and when he finds a line of goods
going for ies? than their real value I soon get them. I place them before my customers under my

Face *0 Face with Disease,
How often it happens that although we
have witnessed the ravages of disease in the
case of others, we disregard his warning sig
nals in onr own. It is only when we find
face to face with us that we really perceive
how grim he is. Then, perchance, when it
is too late, medicinal aid is sought. Hi?
avant courier, bis for
weakness. Fortify the system, and you are
armed against him* The finest tonic for
this purpose is Hostetter???s Stomach Bitters,
wbicn renders digestion easy and complete,
nourishes the system, improves the apatite,
gives strength yielding tieep, counteract
biliousness and* keeps the Ixiwela in first
rate order. Leanness, and unnatural wan
ness and sallowness of the face, are obviated
by it, and so genial and beneficent are its
effects, that not only is the body invigorated
and regulated by its use, but despondei
banished from the mind.
