Bad breath, bad taste in the mouth, and furred tongue. 3. Constipation, with occasional attacks of diarrhoea. 4. Headache, in the front of the head; nausea, dizziness, and yellowness of skin. 5. Heartburn, loss of appetite. 0. Distent ion of the stomach and bowels by wind. 7, Depression of spirits, and great melan choly, with lassitude and a disposition to leave everything for to-morrow. A natural flow of Bile from the Liver is essential to good health. When this ! is obstructed it results in BILIOUSNESS, which, if neglected, soon leads to serious diseases. Simmons Liver Regulator exerts a most felicitous influence over every kind of biliousness. It restores the Liver to proper working order, regulates the secre tion of bile and puts the digestive organs in such condition that they can dotheir best work. After taking this medicine no one will say, “I am bilious.’* “I have been subject to severe spells of Con gestion of the Liver, and have been in the habit of taking from 15 to 20 grains of calomel which gen erally laid me up for three or four days. Lately I have been taking Simmons Liver Regulator, which gave me relief without any interruption to business.”—J. Hugg, Middleport, Ohio.

LESSON IX, INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL SERIES, FEB. 26. Text of the Lesson, Matt, xlx, 16-26. CoI-Umj Text, Matt, vi, 21—Memorize Viescs 2 -22—Comment by Rev. William [Fr :i Los.-.on Helper Quarterly, by permission of 11. S. Hoffman, Philadelphia, publisher.] Notes.—Came, i. e., out of the company around. Mark says, running: One, Luke says ruler, or member of the Sanhedrim. Master, or teacher. Enter into life, be saved from death and have everlasting life. Keep, ' obey or live according to. Honor, this is l more than to obey, and no one word will de fine it. Reverence is perhaps the best. Hardly, or. it is; hard for. A rich man, one that trusts in riches. Exceedingly, very much. Then, in that case, or, if that is so. This, i. e., that rich men can be saved. Im possible; possible, i e., men cannot do this, but God .-an. \ . I>>. Mark and Luke supply two very in teresting features of this case. From one wo learn that he was a ruler, i. e., a member of th Sanhedrim. From the other we learn that he came running. He was in earnest, and not afraid to have it known that he was. Ho was not satisfied with what the doctors of tho law taught concerning this great question, lie felt, be was sure, there was ■ •. :hing more. But what was it? Whore sh'. .1 find tho one who could lift tin veil .m 11 »t in tho light? It would seem from the n r.aL-e that ho bad been following Jesus : . z. tiy, or without making himself known, lie wanted to hear what this great teach r wool I say about it. And now, os I: • licr.’-s bis last words, he could restrain himself no longer. He came running to Jesus, with the great question, “Good Mas ter ! what must I do that I may have eternal life?"’ or. “inherit eternal life?” V. 17. Before answering his question our Lord, gently yet pointedly, rebukes him f«?r th • use * f the title by which ho addressed him. V.’hy did he use it? Ho did not mean it. IL? did not moan to say that ho (Jesus) was tho good. For that title belongs only to ono—or to God. And, as an unmeaning com pliment, he could not receive it. Now this docs not mean that Jesus declined a title be longing only to God; but that tho young ruler himself did not mean to intimate that it so belonged to him. And therefore he could not receive it from him. Now, in our Lord’s answer to*tho young ruler’s question, wo must observe that be answered from bis standpoint. Ho occupied the ground on which he stood. His question was, “What shall I do that I may have, or inherit, eternal lifef’ Ho would have it as the result of his own doings. Ho proposed to work for it. He wanted to have it, as of debt, as a working man receives his wages. And so the master replies to him, “Keep tho commandments.” He did not propose the difficulties of the case. He would have him ascertain these for himself. Ho would have him find out f< r himself that obedience to the law, as the price of eternal life, was a chain of many links, and if one of these was broken tho chain itself was worthless. It offered no connection between the man and tho object he had in view. But the young ruler did 1 not see this. And so V. 18-20. When he beard the Lord’s an- | swer ho at once asked which of the coni- , mandments ho meant. And in answer the Lord cited the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and fifth, while Mark adds the tenth. Now all these were of tho second table of the law. Not a word is said about those of the first table. The young man’s relation to God seams to have been entirely left out of the question. Why was this? And there seems to ba no doubt about tho answer. For it is manifest that our Lord meant to show how utterly hopeless his case was, even on his own chosen ground. For, if ho proposed to be saved by tho works of flic law, or to enter mto life because of obedience to the law, it must bo very clear that he had obeyed the law. Now, if it wen* a question of obedience toman’s law —i. e., if it concerned tho out ward act alone—it would bo very easily set tled. But if that “law is spiritual;” if the lustful thought is adultery and tho angry thought is murder, then tho ease is a very different one. The young ruler proposed to win eternal life by tho deeds of tho law. Now tho sum ming up of the second table of the law is, ‘•Thou shall lovothy neighbor as thyself.” II ? said he did. And Jesus replied in effect, “If you do it is very easy to prove it. You would not hesitate topart with anything you have to relievo your own wants. Now why should you hesitate to relieve the necessities of your neighbor? You would not if you loved him as you do yourself. Now, there fore, go and do it, and provo your claim is true. This was tho simple issue; and ono more clearly defined could not well be pre sented. And is that all? No. For that •night’spring from a motive utterly inad inissablo. And so tho Master adds, “and come and follow me.” V. 22. How true to tho life this is. How clear tho revelation it makes of the ruling power in this young ruler's heart. Doubt less ho was attracted by tho Master’s teach ing; but the glitter of bis gold had a brighter luster in his eyes! Doubtless he was con cerned for his eternal life. But clearly, tho present had for him tho greater attraction. Ho was in “tho valley of decision,” and quietly yielded to tho power of the present and the .seen! “He turned an<l went away, for he had great posses-sions." The present and tho eternal life were weighed against each other, and the beam went down on tho side of tho present. Poor young man! V. 23,21. It is not hard to imagine tho deep compassion that moved in the Master’s breast, as ho turned to his disciples and spoke these words. Doubtless they had seen aud ' heard all that bad passed; and he would | shield them now from any wrong impres sions the young ruler’s example might make upon thorn. And if wo ask for tho reason underlying the declaration of the Master—or why it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God—there Seems to be two rea- 1. Riches beget a sense of power in tho holder of them. Therefore the rich man is commonly puffed up with a sense of his im portance. He can do anything; and his pride erects itself even against God. 2. Riches become an object of trust to their possessor. They seem to break down tho , simplicity of childlike faith in God. How ' can ho pray, “Give us this day our daily bread,’’ when he knows that his cheek is good in bank and his credit high on exchange? 1 And so ho learns to “trust in riches,” as tho ultimate good in life. How can he enter the kingdom? V. 25, 26. Tho disciples were beyond meas ure astonished. And to their question, who then can be saved? Jesus gave the answer, “With men this is impossible, but with God ail things are possible.” He alone can change the Ueart and bind the affections around him self as manifested in the finished work of Jesus. For when that is seen—i. c., when his love takes the heart captive—the affections drop off from earthly things an 1 twine l! 'inselves .round him, who reel emed us from this ] resent evil world, with his own precious blood. Ta k e 111 eNew s. $ 1.2 5i r. advance. CSAIWA’S BUSINESS B SUMMERVILLE The firm of J. S.

Several years ago he purchased several full blooded horses in Ken } tncky and quite recently he bought tile fine heard of Holstein cattle } raised by Dr. Holmes, of Rome. He ! is one of the cleverest and most en terprising men in the county, and !is universally liked. His manage ! ment of Trion Factory has been eminently successful, and there is not much doubt but that in the course of a few years he will by his energy and enterprise enlarge Trion mills until they will be the most extensive in the south. R. F. Roberson, above Trion, is a clever businass man, and keeps a general stock of goods. He has been very successful and has accumula ted a handsome property. TALIAFERRO.

Lowe is one of tho clev erest business men in the county lie sells groceries and dry goods.

We believe this notice embraces all the business men of the county; ! and, all in all there is not a more I clever or accomodating set to be ,' found anywhere. The people of the county can deal with them with the assurance that they will be well treated and get as much, and of as good quality, for their money as can be had anywhere. A Quick Run. Will Stokes, a young darkey, who shines shoes at Nash’s barber shop, succeeded in accomplishing a diffi cult feat yesterday. A wager was made that Stokes could run from the barber shop, at No. 19 West Alabama street, to temple and back again, in- I sidF of fifteen minutes. J A’hc barber shop is just a few ! doors from the corner of Broad and Alabama, while the negro church is on the corner of (’lark and Fr; - zier. Several interested parties had walked the route between the places and, as nearly as the distance could be estimated, the run there and back not less than two miles ar.d a half, and was estimated by son e to be considerably furthur. S > there was no dearth of betting men v, iiling to stake their cash ' a rainst Stokes’ backers. Careful I preparations were made, a person i being stationed on the steps of the j temple witii a note. When Stokes j reach the steps he was to be handed i the note, and carry it back as evi dence to the party in waiting at 9 ■ West Alabama. I Yesterday forenoon the race was j ran. In thirteen minutes and a | half from the time Stokes left the I barber shop door he was back again with the note in his hand. It is said that about sloochanged hands on the result, and Stokes was hero of the hour. ■ Stokes says he was five minutes’ | going and 8| returning, and that he has run the same distance in twelve and a half. The loss of a i minute lie attributed to the unfa vorable condition of the streets. | But two miles and a half in thir teen end a half minutes is good time, and on the strength of it Stokes d Shed bin self the “cham pion runn of Atlanta.—Atlanta ; Com ' itutiou.

Bill Nyc advertises his cow for sale. “Owing to ill-health, 1 will sell at my residence in township 29, range 18, west, according to Govern ment survey, one plushed raspberry colored cow, aged 8 years. She is a good milkster and not afraid of cars —or anything else. She is a cow of undaunted courage, and gives milk frequently. To a man who does not fear death in anv form she woe Ibe a great boon. She is liicf attached to lierSbum. at present, by means of a trace chain, but she-will lie sold to any one who will agree to treat her right. She is one-fourth short-horn and three fourths hyena, I will also throw in a double-barreled shotgun, which goes with her. Ln Mav she gener ally goes away somewhere for a week or two, and returns with a tall, red calf, with long, wabby legs. Her name is Rose, and I prefer to sell her to a non-resident. Another man 1 see frequently in M ashington, says a correspondent, is 75 years old but he carries him self quite as straight as any man of 30, and he walks with a spring like that of a boy. He sits straight up in the car, and his white hair and show-white beard shine out under a brown derby hat. His eyes are of the bluest, and his thin rosy face shines with culture, and h? looks like a nobleman. He is uniformly polite to all, and never sits while a lady is standing, even though the ; lady be in her teens. I have seen him help lame men into the cars, , and he jumps to the assistance of the weakly before any one notices their distress. Still, there is prob ably not a greater aristocrat in the country than he, and his name is Joseph E. Johnson, the great Con federate general.
