TORPID LIVER
Is known by these marked peculiarities:
1. A feeling of weariness and pains in the
limbs.
2. Bad breath, bad taste in the mouth,
and furred tongue.
i 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.
6. Distention of the stomach and bowels
by wind.
7. Depression of spirits, and great melan
choly, with lassitude and a disposition i
to leave every tiling for to-morrow.
A natural flow of Rile 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 influenceovcr every kind
of biliousness, it restores the IJ ver to
proper working order, regulates the secre
tion of bile and puts the digestive organs
in such condition that they can dotheir
i best work. After taking this medicine no
one will say, “JL 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, Hvgg, Middleport, Ohio.

FROM GADSDEN.
I The health of Gadsden is good.
I Peace and plenty prevails. Every
i thing ts quiet since the election.
I The State still remains under Dein
| ocratic rule. The dummy railroad
is moving on fine. Gadsden talks
of building a cotton factory soon.
This would be a good location for
a factory as it is one of the best
cotton markets in north Ala.
The ear works at this place is
turning out a line lot of freigt cats
for the A. G. S. R. R.
It is thought that the new fur
nace will be able to start up next
month. The Rome & Decatur, the
Tennessee & Coosa and the Annis
ton & Cincinnati railroads are all
J running trains on regular seedulc
time now.
We were sorry to hear of Samuel
Noble’s death. lie was president
of the A. <t (’. railroad.
We hear of some trouble at
| Round Mountain Iron Works be-
I tween the white ami black hands
j vvhich has been on hand for a week
lor more. The governor ordered the
■ Etowah Rille company of this place
to go up in protection of the fur
nace company. No serious harm
done yet, but no telling what will
be done.
We have had several protracted
meetings near Gadsden in the last
| three weeks, the results very good.
We haven’t seen any bales of
new cotton yet, but it will be in
soon. We would like some one to
give the news from Centre Post and
Duck Creek. A letter occasionally
will give us the news.
Peace and prosperity attend the
News and its readers. Rambler.
Trip to Macon.
I left Summerville on t’ne 20th of
August at 11 o’clock, a. m., on the
C., 11. & C. for Macon as a delegate
to the State Alliance. Went by the |
way of Atlanta, arrived in Macon j
at 11 o'clock at night. Tuesday
morning at 10 o’clock the State
President, Rev. Mr. Jackson ■
brougthis gavel down ami brought
the house to order in the Masonic
Hall and after a very appropriate
prayer by the chaplain of the State
Alliance they went into the organ-
ization by calling the counties and
the delegate ans»ering. There
were sevo*>cy counties represented,
two delegates for each county.
The convention held from day to
day until Thursday at 12 o’clock.
Peace and harmony seemed to per
vail throughout. There were one
thousand and thirty-live lodges
reported in the state, and several
counties that had organized that
hadn’t made their return. There
are sixty thousand members.
While in Macon I went in to see
Tom Wolfork, the great family
murderer and talked with him some.
He says that he is enjoying good |
health and it seems from his look i
he is. I would guess him to weigh one [
hundred and forty or fifty pounds, :
with dark hair and heavy black eye !
brows and looks to be very deter- I
mined. Mr. Birdsong, the jailor, is
i a very nice, polite gentleman and ■
I very accomodating. The large '
cage is so arranged that the prison- |
ers can be let out of their cells into j
the cage without entering the cage.
I left Macon on Friday morning
at four o’clock the train being thir
ty behind on the E. T. V. & G road
and come through almost Eke a
cannon ball. Got oil' the cars at
Summerville at one o'clock Fridav.
Stopped in Atlanta 20 minutes,
Rome 20 minutes and a great many
other places from one to five min
utes. J. T. 11.
President Cleveland’s message on
the fisheries question is highly
praised, many pronouncing it the
most statesmanlike document that
has eminated from the executive in
years. It is no surprise to us, how

were aware he is an expert fisher
j ermau and fully posted on all ques
| tions pertaining to it.

A Remakable Funeral.
A remarkable funeral took place
at Binghamton. Dr. Wheaton, an
1 old and influential citizen, a believ
' er in the dogma of “good cheer,”
died, after having directed that no
] outward signs of mourning be as
sumed at his funeral. Accordingly;
the friends of the family, when they |
met at the appointed hour, were as- j
tonished to find the widow and
daughters of the deceased attired ]
j in the purest white and wearing bo-1
j quets of flowers. The corpse lay ]
on a sofa covered by a many color- |

the collin until the last moment.
Milledgeville Recorder; Men
talk a great deal about certain por
-1 tions of a woman's dress and make
fun of the way she has of handling
her dress, but a woman says men !
are more ridiculous than women |
about ugly habits. They pull their ]
beards, twist their mustache, pull
up their pantaloons when they sit
down and show some not recently
i iaundried socks, hitch at their waist;
| bauds, blow their noses on the pub
lic streets, wipe their smelling ap
paratus with a handkerchief, which
they carefully fold and put back in
their pocket, as jf they hadn’t an
other clean one at home, etc.

they are much more important than

which passes between two cottages

] Almighty Dollar! There are
hundreds of places to spend it;
] people are continually devising all
I manner of improper means to cajole
it away from you. Be wary, be
I chary, be mistrustful and only
! loosen your grip on the silver ridge
' rimmed treasure when you see that
for it you are receiving equal value
in useful, serviceable stuff.
The time has comewhen flagrant
spoutings and fallacious newspaper
advertisements refuse to be the
! throttle by which an honest, live,
progressive and rushing business
can be successfully conducted.
Money may be expended with a
profuse prodigality even eclipsing
the liberal and excessive measures
of a Barnum, but if the attractions
heralded fail to fall in view the
house is sure to lose. We do not
entice trade by the glamour of
doubtful and dubious statements.
We shall organize no audacious or
illegitimate system to dupe and de
lude a gullible public. To ride the
high wave of popular favor, to bask
in the sunshine of universal confi
dence, to enter the sacred pavillion
of public trust and repose on the
(lowin' couch of success we shall
absolutely abstain from all preca
rious promises. Never shall we
forget the primal principles that
I should be employed to develop 1
trade. We shall establish a system
I based on a serious and honorable]
; endeavor to stir up the people with !
! a stimulus composed of real money |
! saving bargains. We shall method- i
I ically and zealously reduce the |
prices of Dry Goods a little lower
than any one else. We desire to
arouse a. .1 av,aken new interest, t<>|
make a sensation to attract tin |
trading element, to create new rip
ples and extend the radious of our ]
operations and enlarge their scope.
We shall augment and swell our
dailv crowds by discarding thread-
bare, edgeless and worn out max
ims and setting the soft spinning
axle of trade humming to a tune of
new enterprise. We will be the
projectors, the founders, the active,
living, breathing exponents of :f
broad, courageous, aggressive, bold
and successful business. We shall
neglect no opportunity, nor be care
less, indifferent or injudicious to
any honest means that tends to les
sen the price of merchandise.
This age is too busy for drones.
Men with arms folded never achieve
grand or triumphant results. Mus

Drains are vigorously active when

toil combined with systematic and
untiring efforts, are necessary to
