A feeling of weariness and pains in the limbs. 2. 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. i 5. Heartburn, loss of appetite. 6. Distention of the stomach and bowels by wind. 7. Depression of .spirits, and great melan choly, with lassitude and a disposition to leave every tiling 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 loads tosorious diseases. Simmons Liver Regulator exerts \ a most felicitous infiuenceover 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 th is 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. O. VL 1 • has our stamp in red on front of Wrapper J. H.

They didn’t call him Jack, or Tom, or Harry, but always spoke of him as “Joseph’s Brother.” And it was just as singular that they didn’t say “Joe,” instead of “Joseph,” when speaking of or to the man. The two had a wagon in the band dragging itself toward the Black Hills, day by day, mile by mile. They messed by themselves, scarce ly spoke except to each other, and their actions were a sort of mystery to the. rest, who were a jolly set, drinking, carousing, fighting, play ing cards and wishing for a brush with the Indians. Some said that Joseph was a fugitive from justice, and that he wouldn’t fraternize with them for fear of betraying himself when interrogated. Others thought he felt too peoud to mix in such so ciety, and between the two theories he had nearly ail the men thinking ill of him before the wagon train was four days’ travel from Chey enne. “He keeps his brother hidden away in the wagon as if a little sun shine would kill the boy,” growled one of a dozen gold hunters, sitting around their camp fire in the twi light. “Perhaps he thinks our language isn’t high toned enough—blast his eyes!” exclaimed another. “Ain’t we all bound for the same place—all sharing the same dangers —one as good as another?” demand ed a broad shouldered fellow from San Antonio. “Yes lyes!” they shouted. “Then don’t it look low-down mean for this ’ere man Joseph to edge away from us as if we were pizen? If he's so mighty refined and high toned, why didn’t he come out here in a balloon?” There was a laugh from the cir cle, and the Texan went on. “I don’t purtend to be an angel, but I know manners as well as the next. I believe that man Joseph is reg’lar starch, ready to wilt right down as .non as I pint my linger at him, and I’m going over to his wag on to pull his nose!” “That's the game Jack ! Go in, old fellow! ’Rah for the man from Texas!” yelled the gold hunters, as they sprang to their feet. “Come right along and sec the fun,” continued the Texan, as he led the way toward Joseph's wagon. The vehicle formed one in the circle, and at a small fire a few feet from the hind wheels sat Joseph and bis brother, eating their fugal supper. As the crowd came near, the boy sprang up and climbed into the covered wagon, while Joseph slowly rose up and looked at them anxiously and inquiringly. “See here, Mister Joseph what’s your-other-name !” began the Tex an, as he halted before the lone man, “we hev come to the conclu sion that you and that booby broth er o’ yours don’t like our style ! Are we kerect?” “I have nothing against any of you,” quietly replied Joseph. “The journey thus far has been very pleas ant and agreeable to us.” “But you hang off—you don’t speak to us!” persisted Jack. “I am sorry if I have incurred any man’s ill will. I feel friendly to ward you all.” “Oh, you do, eh?” sneered the Texan, feeling that he was loosing ground. “Well, it’s ray opinion that you are a sneak !” Joseph’s face turned white, and the men saw a dangerous gleam in his eyes. He seemed about to speak or make some movement when a soft voice from the wagon called out: “Joseph! Joseph !” A softer light came into the man’s face. The Texan noticed it, and, slapping Joseph’s face, he blurted out: “If ye ain’t a coward ye’ll resent that, sure!” A boyish figure sprang from the waajon and stood beside the lone man. A small hand was laid on his shoulder, and a voice whispered in his ear: “Bear the insult for my sake 1” There was a full minute in which no one moved. Joseph’s face look ed .ghostly white in the gloom, and they could see him tremble. i “He's coward, just as I thought!” said th' Texan, :s he turneo away. The otl. : rs followed him, some feel- ing ashamed and others surprised or gratified, and by and b> the word had reached every wagon that Jo seph and Joseph’s brother were cowards-. Next morning, when the wagon train was reatfv to move, the Cap tain passed near Joseph’s wagon on purpose to say: “If there are any cowards in this < train, they needn’t travel with us any further.” It was a cruel thrust. Joseph : was harnessing his horse, and the i brother was stowing away the cook- : ing utensils. The strange man's i face grew white again, and his hand i went down for his revolver, but just then a voice called out: i “Don’t mind it Joseph ; we’ll go on alone.” The train moved off without them some of the gold hunters taunting and joking, and others fearful that I 1 the two would be butchered by the 1 Indians before the day was over. 1 Vi'hen the white topped wagons 1 were so far away that they seemed ’ no larger than his hand, Joseph 1 moved along on the trail, his face : stern and dark, and so busy with ’ his thoughts that he did not hear ' the consoling words: “Never mind, Joseph; we are ( trying to do right.” e That night when the wagon train ; of the gold hunters went into camp, 1 they could not see the lone wagon, : though many of the men, ashamed 5 of their conduct, looked long and ' earnestly for it. They htid seen t Indians afar off, and they knew that, 1 the rod devils would pounce down upon the single team as soon as ' they sighted it. 1 Darkness came, midnight came, ‘ and the sentinels heard nothing but f the stamping of the horses and the ' howls of the coyates. At two I o’clock the reports of rilles and the ] fierce yells of Indians floated up ' through the little valley, and the 1 camp was aroused in a moment. “The devils have jumped on Jo-; 1 seph and his brother!” whispered j one of the men as he stood on a ; knoll and bent his head to listen. “Good ’nutf! Cowards have no ' business out here!” growled the * Texan. 1 The first speaker wheeled, struck : the ruffian a sledge-hammer blow in the face, and then running for the horses, cried out: 1 “Come on ! come on ! A dozen of I us can be spared for the rescue!” | Sixteen men swept down the ral-1 ley like the wind. The firing and the yelling continued, proving that the man who had been called a cow ard was making a heroic fight. In ten minutes they came upon the lone camp, made light as day by the burning wagon. Fifty feet from the bonfire, and hemmed in by a circle of dancing, leaping, howling , savages, was Joseph’s brother, stand ing over Joseph’s dead body. The i gold hunters heard the pop! pop! pop! of the boy’s revolver as they burst into view, and next moment they were charging down upon the demons, using rifle and revolver with terrible effect. In two minutes not a live Indian was in sight. Jo seph’s brother stood over the body, an empty revolver in his hand. The men cheered wildly as they looked around, but the boy looked up into their faces without sign of exulta tion, surprise, or gladness. There were three dead Indians beside the wagon, killed where the fight commenced, and the corpse in front of Joseph’s brother numbered more than the victims of the sixteen men. “Is Joseph badly hurt?” asked one of the men as he halted his horse beside the boy. “lie is dead!”, whispered the white-faced defender. “He is? God forgive me for the part I took last night!” “Yon called him a coward !” cried ; Joseph's brother, “and you arc to I blame lor this! Was he a coward? Look there ! and there ! and there ! i We drove them back from the wag- j on—drove them clear out here! Jo-1 seph is dead. You arehis murder-; ers!” Every man was near enough to heai his voice and to note his act ion as he picked up the rifle of an Indian and sent a bullet through his own head. With exclamations of grief and alarm trembling on their lips, the men sprang from their , saddles. The boy was dead—dead ■ as Joseph—and both corpses were bleeding from a dozen wounds. “We’ll carry ’em up to the train, and have a burial in the morning.” said one of the men, and the bodies were taken up behind two of the : horsemen. They did have aeburial and men looked into the grave with tears in their eyes, for they had dis covered that Joseph's brother was a woman. Yes, a woman with the whitest throat and softest hands. It might have been Joseph’s wife, or sister, or sweetheart. No one could tell that; but they could tell how they has wronged him, and they said, as they stood around the grave. “We hope the Lord won’t lay it up agin us!” Cliattoogaville. The health of our community is better at present than it has been in a long time. The neighborhood is nearly clear of the mumps for the first time in along while. There was a great many people who had them in one side and would get well and then would have them in the other side, making a protracted thing of it. I will give a few details of a wed ding which I attended recently. Dr. J. A. Smith, Rev. T. S. Johnston and myself left Chattoogaville about 4:30 p. m. last Thursday, the 24th ult., bound for Alabama. We arrived there at 7, and the lovely bride was in readiness and every thing was ready for the marriage feast. At 7 :30 the doctor and Miss Tennie B. Rush were joined in the holy bonds of matrimony, the cere mony being performed bj' Rev. T. S. Johnston. The ceremony over, a rush was made for the dining hall where everything was in style for the occasion. May peace and pros perity attend the new married couple through life; then a home in heaven is my wish. I came back home Friday morn ing and left the following day to join a picnic party going to Little River falls on Saturday. We left Broomtown at 6 :30 and met another crowd at New Moon. There we started to the mountain and arrived at its foot about 9 o’clock and reached the falls at 11 a. m. Din ner was spread and there was plen ty, because it would not do to go out on such a trip and not have plenty to eat. After dinner we all went down to see the falls and take in the wild, romantic scenery; all had a nice time and enjoyed them selves. At 3:40 we all started home and the sun was down by the time we reached there. I’m in clined to think some of the boys made a mash on the pretty girls but don’t know about it. The school at Walnut Grove is still very good. It will close in i about two weeks, Miss Pluma ; Neelv has a very interesting music class in connection with the literary department. Mr. J. I’. Johnston and his son, Scott, killed one of the largest owls on record. It measured 51 inches from tip to tip. Dr. J. A. Smith is confined with mumps, we are sorry to say. Dr. Ben Shamblin has located in our midst and will prosecute his | profession here. Rei-orteb. The New Prohibition Paper. We have before us a copy of the new Prohibition paper published at Atlanta, Ga. It is a handsome, eight, page paper, beautifully print ed, ably edited and in every waj’ a first class family newspaper. It is filled with choice matter, excellent editorials, a great variety of miscel laneous reading, and is unquestion ably the strongest prohibition paper published in the South. It proposes to keep the rest of the country post ed as to the record high license is | making in Atlanta. It is well worth j the price of subscription, which is i $2 per annum, $1 for 6 months, 50c. j for 3 months. Every one should subscribe for it. Agents are wanted, to whom liberal , inducements will be offered. Ad dress The Atlanta Commonwealth, Atlanta, Ga. THE PRETTY LADIES.

A white frost on the 15th ult. did serious damage to our gardeas and fruit, which last named has fallen fully one half from the trees. Last Monday while Zercy Wade was trying to put a line on his bull the bull gored him, striking him in the bowels. He threw Wade over his head, inflicting a serious wound. Wade fell on his face and the bull turned on him and gored him in several places. A boy about ten years old, who was passing, went to Wade’s assistance and finally beat the bull off'. I think the boy saved Wade’s life. Wash Snyder is very sick and is not expected to live. Edward Mason has moved back to his old home at this place. He is postmaster and is always ready to hand out the mail to all. Ben Buster is very much perplex ed over that little mention of him in our last letter. If a man puts himself up as a target he may ex pect to get shot at. Iwould like to have the P. O. ad dress of D. W. Smith, secretary of the Haywood Farmers’ Alliance. (His address is Haywood, Chattoo ga county, Ga.—Ed.) Norwood. The first mail we always look at is our country exchanges. If lim ited to a choice between the two classes we would prefer having the country papers on our exchalige list than to have the city dailies. The country paper is a mirror of its section and you can tell whs: kind of a community it is publish fttl in by examining the paper itself. It represents a great deal of hard work, of worry and patience. It represents its county, its locality, its people as no other can. Ileres to the contry papers. May they prosper, all of them, and may the day speedily conic when they will be appreciated more by the people among whom they are published. When that day arrives they can do far more for their section and it will be better for’paper and people alike. One of the most delicate and no table surgical operations ever per formed in the world occurred in Philadelphia, recently, being noth ing less than tin t ansplantstion of a portion of the eye of a rabbit to the eye of a human being. The ob ject of the operation was to relieve the obscurity of an eye of a patient which was caused by inflamatioi and which produced in time as opaque surface. Only two opera- I tions of the kind have ever been ' performed. 1 The London Telegraph says that nowhere in all the world can a more delightful place of residence be found than in the highlands stretch ing across northern Georgia and Alabama. In the course of a very 1 few years such expressions of opin io?. will begin to crystalize into eol ; jid results.
