The majority of sui cides, committed without ap parent reason, or under so-called “depression of spirits,” are really prompted by nervous prostration, which is n iruitlui so-irco of insanity and crime w i t h all their grief and horror. These facts are startling. They threaten the very life of the nation. They assail the springs of its power and pros perity. They wreck manhood’s strength and woman’s useful ness and beauty. . Every one should know, the causes. What are they ? The answer is easy # and terribly plain: Our vicious personal habits; our careless and lawless eating and drinking; the in- ’ tense mental and physical strain arising from our mad race after money, position and influence; the fears and struggles of pov erty; the use of narcotics and stimulants; our fashion of turning day into night and night Into day; and, briefly, our. desperate willingness to pay any price for an hour’3 pleasure or success. So we bum life's caudle at both ends and fill the lunatic asylums and the graveyards. The disease from which we suffer and die is, in plain Eng lish, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it is seated in the Nerves and in the organs of Digestion, Assim ilation and Nutrition. Healthy digestion being impeded or des troyed, the whole body, nerves included, is literally starved; even when there is no emaci ation to tell the sad story. Nervous prostration sends out its warnings:—headache in the morning; a persistent dull heaviness or aching at the base of the brain; wakefulness; loss of appetite and disgust with food; loss of mental energy and interest in ordinary duties and business; restlessness and anx iety without any assignable reason; eructations; bad breath; foul mucous on the teeth; occn-’onal giddiness; nlm+Q+inM ,,r -j-pg h ear t; sal- i skin; coated .dual failure of nbition. is a total aban- hobits and cus- h cause the disease . :vh;ua! case, and the r extract of Hoots to cure the done.

The Parson Yelled "Fire.” From the Pittsburg Press. 1 hey tell a story on an Alleghany preacher,which, to tho best of nty knowledge, has not as yet been in print It occurred on a very warm day last summer, the congregation was drowsy. The preacher was a long talker, and after his sermon had been spread out over the better part of an hour the congregation was drowsier. Heads began to drop on tho respective chests thereunto aper- taining, aud long, deep breathing be came noticeable in various parts of the church. Then the preacher be § an to lower his voice gradually. top by step ho roduced his elocution Trom a fortissimo tenor pitch to a low, soothing bass until eventually his voice died out altogether. He looked carefully over the congregation. All was still as death. No one stirred. All were nodding. Then the optics or the indignant servant of the Lord tilled with gore. Ho leaned over the pulpit, away over, waited an instant in that pos ition, and then suddenly he yelled ‘ Fire! iirel” in a voice which 6cntits reverberations through every nook and cornor of tho odiflee. That brought the congregation to life as though a bond) had burst under them. One old deacon jumped up and yelled: "Where? Where?" That’s where tlv gag came iu, and the minister shrieked in tones of thunder: "In hell! In hell, for all you sleepy sinners!” Only strangers sleep in that church now. Their Bnsineu Booming.

Calhoun predicted over flf ty years ngo that this Piedmont Belt was destined to become the richest country on the globe, and would one day support the largest and most denso population of any section of America. The grand statesmen spoke parables of truth but predicated bis opinion on the geographical position, tho salubrious climate, the pure water and the wonderful productiveness of the soil of this section. Unlhoun never dreamed of the vast mlueral deposits that underlie the rich cholocate Bur- face of this most wonderful country. From every section of Piedmont Belt we hear of new discoveries of mineral wealth in fabulous quantities. Mr. J. B. Carver, has just returned from a trip in Chattooga couuty, where he has been prospecting for minerals. On Ills stock ranche, thir teen miles from Rome, is a mountain of brown hematite Iron ore l»alf a mile wide and over a mile long. Experts who have examined this ore,, think it will assay over 00 pef oent. pure iron. On the same tract of land are outcrop pings of coal which the country black smith has used for years. The recent survey of the Home and Chattanooga Railroad runs through this valuable property. Along this route from six miles of Romo to Chattanooga are mountain crags full of iron mangau- ese and valuable ores of nearly every discriptlon. Rome is certainly des tined to become a great centre for iron and coal. of ENGINES | Steam&Water boilers" 1 1 wr?u rrwxrrmirsLvrMx. n SAY/MILLS GRIST ^ILLS Pips & Fitting Imm SAWS GotionPresses FfiLES SHAFTING INJECTORS PULLEYS PUMPS HANGERS Watir Whetls COTTON GINS CASTINGS GEARING Brass and Iron It la the duty of every person who has used Boschee’s German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Ast hma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases.

In Nashville last Thursday night Senator Sherman delivered an address in favor of the Republican doctrine of protection, using the same old arguments which have been a thou Hand times exposed and refuted. He asserted that tho protection doctrine is distinctively Republican, which is true, and said that “the Democratic party, if it has any fixed creed or pol Icy, is opposition to protection,’ which is also true as far us it goes. in Atlanta the same night, Major J. F. Hanson, of Macon, a gentleman who controls the Macon Telegraph, also addressed an atfilienoe on the tariff and in favor of protection, mak ing use there of the su me old shallow and stale arguments that Sherman did in Nashville. In polities the only difference be tween these two men is, that Senator Sherman boldly proclaims bhnself wliat^ lie is, a Republican, and tells hits Nashville hearers that "all that is needed in Tennessee is that it should become a Republican State” by fa voring protection, while Major Han son will go hack to Macon and about the country masquerading as a Dem ocrat, though entertaining and utter ing in Atlanta the selfjsame senti ments and opinions that Sherman did in Nashville. The line mnst bo drawn, and in Georgia. The next Democratic State convention must draw it for Georgia if the party would live, to separate the goats from the sheep, that is, to rid tiie party of assistant Republicans who are in it only to betray it.

If you are ten, or fifteen, or twenty years old, keep a scrap book. Let me tell you why and how: Hundreds of tilings you Hee that you would like to keep, but if you lay them away will never be able to find them when you want them. When I was a boy I did not have sense enough to keep scrap-books. I began some, but did not keep on long with them. My memory was good, but I can now remember many things that I can’t remember. What I mean is this: 1 remember reading a beautiful piece of poetry, of which two or three lines I can call up, but the whole I can’t recollect. In some cases I do not know the name of the writer. 1 have seen many fine pictures in magazines and papers that would now be valuable and interesting. Some I cut put, they are lost. Charm ing stories, wise remarks, proverbs, directions for doing a great many useful aud curious things are also lost. Mo much do I feel sure that l have lost that 1 would give $50 apiece for the scrap-books of each and every year that I might have made, from the time I was ten till I began to pre serve tilings, only a few years back. There is a gentleman who has kept a scrap-book since lie was eight years old. He is now forty, and has been arranging them in volumes, witli an index in back of each one. You would hardly think that the earlier would be of much use to him. But they are. He often amuses himself as he readg them, for he sees how little he knew when he was little; blit also finds a little that he still thinks valuable. Besides, his children are much inter ested to see what their father bad oolleoted and pasted in books. The older he grows the more useful the books become. He can go to his books, and in a few minutes get infor mation about everything thAt has happened in his whole life—tell you about tiie Civil war, the Crimean war, the Italian war, the overthrow of Louis Napoleon, and many other tilings, just as they were published in the papers at the time the event hap pened. His scrap-book also contains many funny things, which provoke a smile and often a merry laugh, as he leads them to his family in the long winter evenings. The children would rather hear him read from his scrap-books than from tiie newest story. If you have no scrap-book, get one, and put in it whatever pleases you. If you have one, and have not used it, take it up again. I assure you that you will be very glad of it after ward. You can buy one very cheap. Some require paste, and one invented by Mark Twain, and sold in the book stores, is arranged like postage stamps. All you have to do is to wet it and lay on what you wish to save. If you have the money, get one of this kind. It is cleaner and less troublesome. The others, however, will do well enough. A bottle of muci lage is all you need. Only you must be careful not to drop any of the sticky stuff on tiie pages, or they will stick together; when you open them tiie surface of the paper will] pull off and deface the reading. if you have no money to buy a scrap book, or do not live where thoy are sold, one can be made by taking any old, useless book, and cutting out two leaves out of three, close down to the back, but not close enough to cause tiie book to come to pieces. Then on tlm remaining leaves you can paste, will make will using both sides. This three thicknesses and tile book close as before. It is a good idea to keep the scrap book handy. When you eut out some thing, lay it in till there is a conven ient time to paste them all in. But the best way is to paste them in at the time. If I can persuade you to do this for twenty years, or even half that time, from now, you will feel that you have learned something valuable from this article. It is a Curious Fact That the body is now more susceptible to benefit from medicine than at any other season. Hence the importance of taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla now, when it will do you the most good. It is really wonderful for purifying and enriching the blood, creating an appetite, and giving a healthy tone to the whole system. He sure to get Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which is peculiar to itself. Tho Constitution a few days since called attention to tiie faot that lec tures were being delivered in some parts of the country predicting that tiie end of tiie w'orld is near at hand. We suppose the earth-quakes anil other calamitous events of tiie last few years, is the basis of the belief. A prominent London clergyman about 1860, predicted that the end would come in a few years, and others in this country made like predictions. Hut the world moved on as though no such prophecies had been made. Brace Up, Y<m are feeling depressed, your appe tite in poor, you are bothered with Head ache, you are lldgetty, nervous, and gen erally out of sorts, and want to brace up. Brace up, but not with stimulants, spring medicines, or bitters, which have for their basis very cheap, bad whisky, and which stimulate you for an hour, and then leave vou In a worse condition than before. What you want is an alterative that will purify your blood, start healthy action of Liver and Kidneys, restore your vitality, and give renewed health and strength. Such a medicine you will find In Electric Bitters, and nnlv 50 cents a bottle at John M.Clark’s Drugstore.
