BLOOD AND MONEY.
ATLANTA ALL ACOO ABOUT THBSE
TWO FACTORS.
Sen and Woman of Distant Btstes Bocomt interests*
in Ibo “Blood and Money" Bublaot as Carried
on in Atlanta, and Do Mot Hes
itate to Apeak Out.
The Mood of man has much to do lu shaping hi*
Actions during his pilgrimage through. this troub
lous world, regardless of the amount of present or
expectant money in his pocket or stowed away in
bank. It is a concedod fact that we appear as our
blood makes us, and the purer the blood, the hap
pier, healthier, prettier and wiser we are; hence
the oft repeated interrogatory, “how Is your blood?”
. With pure streams of the life-giving fluid coursing
through onr veins, bounding through our hearts
Add ploughing through our physical frames, our
morals become better, our constitution stronger,
onr intellectual faculties more acute and grander,
and men. women and children happier, healthier
and more lovely.
Therefore, during man’s degeneracy and the
lUs that beset us on all sides, it becomes an Impor
tant duty for all to keep their blood PURE and
thereby retain their pristine health, vigor and
beauty and at the same time cure all such troubles
and complaints as Scrofula, Scrofulous Ulcers and
swellings, Rheumatism, Skin diseases, all taints of
Wood poison. Kidney complaints, old ulcers and
gores. Cancers, Catarrh, etc., which now terrify
and destroy so many of tho human family.
Thus far all will agree that we are correct, bu
the means to effect such happy results in the shor
test space of time and with the least amount of
money, is a question difficult for tho public to de
cide.
We are prepared to give you the desired infor
mation, iu a manner that leaves no room to
doubt.
The number of words and size of an advertise
ment do not necessarily offer tho best proof, but
evidence which appeals to and satisfies your better

THE POSTMISTER alBIBLE HILL
A STORY OF GEORGIA LIFE.
It, Thoms. Colquitt,
COPYEIGHTKD 1886 BY B. fc M’CLUBE.
The beck country poojito 'ap-fa thooo lono-
some land, divide all atrangeri who coma
among them into two classes— 1 “revenues” or
parties Interested In mineral interests. Every
man In that mountainous region who owns a
few atony hillsides regards himself aa a pos
sible millionaire. The mineral interest alone
often sells for many times tbe prlco of the
land. Therefore, it was no surprise when two
young men called at the roaidenoa of Ur,
Dick James, the postmaster at Iliblo Hill, and
asked shelter for the night, stating that thoy
were practical mlnera on a prospecting trip
among the mountains. ’ They carried a com
plete miner’s outfit; also a new patented in
strument for locating veins of mineral below
tho surface,
Now, alf of hla neighbors knew that Uncle
Dick—as everybody called the postmaster—
potcerseS a gold mine on hla land, which only
needed developing to make hint a vary rich
man. To this mine Mr. Jamea conducted the
young miner* early the following morning.
After a preliminary survey and a few scientific
tests of eurfaco quartz, they pronounced it ex
ceedingly rich. Cbansey, tho elder miner,
declared with an excitement of manner pecul
iar to miners who suddenly “strike it rich,"
that in all his experience he had never beheld
a richer deposit of bi-sulphnrot of iron.
“Sulphur on’ iron," exclaimed the disap
pointed old gentleman In a heartbroken voice.
"I—I thought It waa gold.”
“You do not understand the toehnlcal no
menclature of scientific mineralogy, Mr.
Jamea,” Chansey gravely replied. “Look at
there yellow particles.”
‘It la gold ! I’ll never work another day if I
live a thousand years,’ cried tho old fellow,
wild with joy.
The miners now informed Mr. James that
the' vein of yellow metal, though a very
strong one, was so far below the surface,that a
large capital would ha required to open It up.
If Mr. James would board them a month or
so, however, they wonld examine the ground,
locate tho vein and make a report to northorn
capitalists that might possibly enable him to
sell bis mine at lta fall value. Of course, tho
postmaster agreed to this, assuring them they
were perfectly welcome to remain at his home
aa long aa they pleased.
The citizens around Bible Hill were alt
peaceable, quiet farmers. They were poor,
lazy and shiftless, of course, in common with
all that section, but to all outward aeemlng
were law-abiding and honost. The postmas
ter at Bible Hill gave a flattering report ns to
th e morality of and inoffensive character of
office a number of years. Ho
over forty years in tbo little two-room log
houto be now occupied. The rooms wore
small, but comfortable, with rock chimneys
with wide, deep fireplaces and broad hearths,
formed from single, smoothly hewn stonos.
He owned considerable property, consisting of
cattle, land and a busy little grist-mill on
('rooked creek. /
The vicinity of Bible Hill, despite its excel
lent reputation, shipped mere illicit whisky—
or “mountain dew,” ns It is called by the men
who make it—than any other single nolnt In
all that vast moonshiner's empire. Boveune
officers had at various times gone into that
section to investigate. Of these, somo return
ed to report no enocese, while other* never re
ported. They had mot tho enemy. The
postmaster was the only man in that vicinity

Mr. James explained this condition of affairs

Chantey observed, during tho recital. The
young miners, however, were evidently not
interested in moonshine whisky further thin

a shelf In their room.
Mr. Thrall, tho younger miner, dorotod a
great portion of hlo time to Mias I.llah, tha
postmaster’s comely and attractive daughter.
She was a handsome woman, but without cul
ture or refinement She possessed few of those
amiable qnslitiea that am common to her sex;
yet she had many rnstir admirera,and was tha
belle of that backwoods district Mr. Thrall
was, however, the fortunate man, and waa soon
passionately loved by tho impetuous and im
pulsive Miss Utah.

bottles, maty nails, anndrytorn paekagerof

Miss Utah and Thrall made love industriously.
Annt Polly and Undo Dick were kind and so-
dal, while their little orphan grand-daughter,
siz-ycar-old Gertie, flirted recklessly with
Chantey. Sha waa a Mantifal child, with a
fair, bright face, a profusion of long golden
hair, and an Intelligence far btyond her years
and opportunities. Chantey possessed the nr*
gift or winning s child’s love, and little Gertie
waa hit Inseparable companion on his ahert
walk* about the piece or down tothoeinglo
village store.
“I’m goln’ to marry you. Hr. Fanoey," aha

“All right. Oertle,’’ Chansey would reply, a
•mile on his llpe, but a deathly pain at hie
heart aa he rememMred hit own little golden-
haired daughter ovor whoso ahott grave tho
roots were blooming.
“Bntljnat can’t tell to save my life what ho
can see about Annt Ule to make him snob a

yellow akin, and Mazes bar hair, and look*
awfal sweet to him; butahe it across old thing

like she does Mr. Frail now. It it joat mean,
too, aln'tit?”
The amiable old pootmaator'i hospitality
continued nnaMtod, for, though now a million
aire in fast, ha waa not proud. Every morn
ing bo presented hit guests with a flaak fall of
tha beat whisky to be found in Oaineoville.
Moonshine whisky is like true love in youth;
that first paralyzed yon, and yon never units
overcome an uneasy feeling that yon nave
perhaps swallowed molten lead ora rad hot
crowbar by mistake. And io these yoang
mining experts knew zs they drank trade
Dick’s fiery whisky that It waa the recent pro
duction of aome neighboring cliff rock bouse
or gloomy canon#
Chantey was curious to too an illicit distil
lery in operation, bat bit host knew of none,
and gravely assn red bit guest that he always
avoided learning anything that might injur*
a neighbor In case he should eves be torn-
moned before a grand lory. Now that ha
knew from the experts’ report that hit mind
waa indeed a valuable one, Mr. Jamea grew
generous and presented hit only son—a rag
ged, illiterate fallow, with a neat little wlfo
and nnmarosa children Ms mill on Crooked
Creek. Bat John was too lazy to attend to
tho mill, and liia wife took charge of it, while
John continued to hnnt seven days in the
week. Cbeneey had brought with hie mining
outfit an elegant, abort, heavy repeating rifle,
and often accompanied John; ana upon one
of tbeae hunts prevailed upon John to ehow
him a distillery. He there met several of the
neighboring farmers, all bnsy at work. Tho;
were surprised, but pleased—too well pleased
In fact, at the young miner's visit—and g»v_

influence of the fiery mountain dew, which
they lived to regret.
Love, like wine, unsettles and clouds the

korhoed accrete, which bo would in tarn re-
date to Chansey, who Immediately embodied
them in certain reports to headquarter*.
As he returned in tho afternoon from hie
viart to the dlatillery with John Jamea bo met
Thrall and Mitt Ltlah, who were returning in
a carriage from Gainesville. He knew that
something mnst have occurred to causa Thrall
to make the trip so suddenly, but asked no
questions.
At the gate he met little Oertle, who was

too. I think they'd Mtter ’fix’ him 'stead o'
yon," said Gertie, aa the walked bgaide Chan-

sharp ears had caught something not intend
for them.
“Let’s go to tho store and buy something
nice,” sain he, taking her hand. “And now,
Gertie, tell me who la going to ‘flx’ me."
‘On, grandpa an’ Uncle John an'—all of
’em,” giving her shapely little hand an In
definite flourish. “I heard him an' grandma
talking laat night while I waa aaleep. They

morning and throw you ofTn that high roek.
Don’t yon let 'cm, Fansey.
Little Gertie evidently bolleved they were
simply going to force her friend to take an in
voluntary bath. She waa too young to know
that her good-natured, jolly old grandfather
was scheming murder.
“ They can’t push me off, Gretlo. Don’t bo
uneasy,” ho said,- but tho amilo laded from

ously,
Chansey chcerfallyaccompanlod them aftor
exchanging a few word! with Thrall, while
loading hie rifle in their room. Thrall had, at
usual with him, takes a walk that morning
before breakfast,

"Don't you let 'cm throw you In that nasty
creek, Faneey,” whispered little Gertlo, ns she
eyre joined the hunters at the goto.
These meu had murder in their hearts.
The postmaster had intercepted some of
Cbansey’* letters and learned his business.
Gertie's warning wonld have saved him, but
Miss Lilah had told Thrall alto. It was this
that had earned Thrall’a sudden visit to
Gainesville. Chantey's companions lad the
way without explanation to tho high fock
ovor a perpendicular cliff, at tho base'of which,
a hundred feet below, flowed Crooked creak.
They now threw off all disguise and atated

Chansey, after making them admit the mur
