Agents For the ma mn mm, HANDING! A Child In tho Figiit. Rich Hill, Mo., July 7th, 1888. The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga., Gentlemen: Our little girl when but three weeks old broke out w'ith exzema. We tried the prescription from several good doc tors, but without any special benefit. We tried S. S. S. and by the time one bottle was gone her head began to heal, and by the time she had taken six bottles she was complete ly cured. Now she has a full and heavy head of hair—a robust healthy child.

Apropos of the discussion of the question as to whether marriage is a failure, Prussian statistics on in sanity afford some very interesting figures. Out of 100,000 of the pop ulation of each class of the mental ly diseased among the married were but ninety-five males and ninety five females. Among the single, 322 males and 291 females. Among the widowed 321 males and 256 fe males. Among the divorced 1,081 males and 1,031 females. These figures almost prove that married people are the only s.-.ne people. The large proportion of insane among tae divorced indicates at least that divorce doos not promote sanity. The even ratio of insanity in the two sexes shown by the figures is also surprising. Perhaps ’ by the time the marriage question has been viewed from all stand points it will bo found to be one of the institutions this world cannot < very well get along without. .

FINEST STORE IN NORTH GEORGIA. “A thing of beauty is a joy for the time being, if not forever.” The writer was strongly impressed with the truth of this sentiment when pausing the other night the new es tablishment of the Robert 11.

It ■ is stated that on one rainy and e muddy night 3,000 persons went out n to hear him. The great evangelist j was as racy as usual in his remarks, , and one of the papers quotes him ] as follows: t I don’t know how to argue with . a fellow that’s silly. Sin not only makes a rascal of a fellow, but it makes him a fool. I don’t carry my feelings around ( with mo. I’m afraid some fool might hurt ’em. And when Igo home I throw ’em over the back r fence for fear my wife might hurt 1 ’em. Adam was a Methodist. How do 3 I know it? Because the old rascal ’ fell from grace. ' I never played base ball. I > wouldn’t have a dog that would - play base ball. A fellow gets off to himself to ; keep out of bad company, and ho finds he’s penned up with the biggest rascal in town. You little tow-wheeled Chris tians! The devil can give you ten miles, the start and catch you be fore breakfast. It ain’t what church you join’ but what sort of a fellow comes in when you jine. A-w a y over yonder in the prom- , isedland! It ain’t a quarter of a mile to heaven. Boys, when you come in don’t go in a hospital unless you’r bad olf. I Lots of the fellows were not ma king schedule time when I got here. Some people will talk about Sam Jones’ converts and say they won’t stand. If y r ou are God’s converts you will stand when the stars are falling. “The Merry Malden and the Tar” She was merriest before she “struck” the tar.
