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 Judgment, Is that which should bo sought.

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 1st, and, aua.men .could trust, whom,the revenue, though he expretsed readiness to assist the maiahnls aa far aa ha was able, nothing ever Qt . rural vlllsgo told a great deal of moonshine wbttkyln the neighboring railway towns. Mr. James explained this condition of affairs to his guests, shrewdly watcbiiig their fseoa, Chantey observed, during tho recital. The young miners, however, were evidently not interested in moonshine whisky further thin to drink unite liberally and ofton from tho always fall flask their generous host kept on 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. Cbansey seeming., ever In his Mend’s love-making, but wbonnot at work prospecting,spent tha time wandering over tho hills, door banting, or fishing in se cluded nooks in the shallow, turbulent moans tain streams.

Mr. James always opanad th* mall in tho kitchen, assorting thoeontsnto of the pouch on tho dining table, and placed everything for hla offleo upon the mantel-piece, among greasy bottles, maty nails, anndrytorn paekagerof garden seeds, etc., to remain until called for— or used to atari tha fire. • Tho days pataod quictlylenough>t Bible Hill) Miss Utah and Thrall made love industriously.

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_ away a great many trade secrete, under the influence of the fiery mountain dew, which they lived to regret.
