A Physician's Story.

Dr. Porter, of Kentucky, Tell* How it
was Uone.
{From the MU Sterling, Kg., Gazette.)
la tiie mountain* of Eistern Kentucky
live., Dr. <il. Porter, v/ho for 47 years has
ministered to the sink in the counties ol
Rowan an l Morgan, and hxs during that time
sud :red more titan many of the patients on
whom lie calied. lie was at last cured, and
his cure was so startling and miraculous that
i' w u sa in the talk of the mountains, and
finally reached ths Bluegraas. A reporter of
ta • Gazette ciu tlulid to investigate in the
interest of suffering humanity, and to his
qu Mti >.a the doctor replied :
“ d’.v ity y ttrs ago, while living in Mor
gi i county and practicing my profession, I
hl l a terrible nervoua shock that complete
iy >r titrated ma, anu frma that time until
aft m inths ago 1 sa.F-re 1 untold agony,
al l in fact never knew a well day. I tried
everything in the way of medicine that I
know a-1 couulte 1 other physicians for
t.vk*i around, bat I found n,» relief, and I
r ■ ei gae 1 myself to the inevitable and await
eltte ea 1. A few months ago my son saw
an aoc mat in your pvoer of a new medicine
eal’ei Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and wanted
mt ta try it. 1 told him they would do m 3
n» good, lout after taking a few doses I felt
hit.:r, an 1 a'lin hope revived in my breast.
I continual taking the piils, ail continued
t > imorove, and now 1 believe l have finally
rtcivcred. shat is about all of the story.
I believe Pink Pills savel my life, and I
n *ver fail to recommend them in my prac
j tier. In fact, I can tell you of a man that
I you will pass on your road home who has
I been almost completely cured of rheumatism
■ years of suffering, Mr. S. G. Hailey,
I is his name and you can stop and see him.”
After thanking Dr. Porter the Gazette, man
start ■ 1 for Mr. Bailey’s residence. He was
found on his farm cutting some trees down,
j In reply to our inquiry, Mr. Bailey said:
“ Yes, Dr. Porter told you the truth. I suf
fered for years with rheumatism, and was
| only able to leave mv room in good weather,
an 1 then was not able to do any work. I was
| urged by Dr. Porter to try Pink Pills, for
several weeks I positively refused. He finally
overcame my prejudices, however, and I am
gl id of it, for you can see yourself what Pink
Pills have done for me. Corns to the house,
i and I will show you my crutch and cane
; which Pink Pills have enabled me to lay
aside. I have also been giving these pills to
a neighbor’s child, which has scrofula, and it
is improving right along.” The address of
all the gentlemen referred to is Elliottsville,
Rowan County, Kentucky, and anyone can
have these statements verified by writing to ;
them.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the
elements necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered nerves.
They are for sale by all druggists, or may be
had bv mail from Dr. Williams’ Medicine
Company, Schenectady, N. Y., for 50c. per
box, or six boxes for $2.50.

Waure.vton, Oct. 17. —The exe

Mr. Harrison, one i f the com

that tho contest would amount to

Senator Bacon on Silver.
The Press asked Major Bacon if
ho had changed his mind upon the
silver question.
The major, it will be remember
ed, was elected to the senate as a
free silver nun.
“No,” he replied, “I did not
make up my mind hastily on the
subject and the opinion I have
formed will not be easily changed.
1 believe in practical bimetallism
in which both gold and silver are
required and used, with equal in
terchangeable value, as the money
of final payment. I am opposed
to gold monometallism or silver
monometallism. Practical bime
tallism is, in my op ini n. thegreat
need of the business world and I
do not think it by any means im-«
possible of accomplishment. The
investigations I was able to make
while abroad have greatly strength
en ‘d my previous convictions on
this subject.”

SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COOXTY, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 23. 1895
ONE MAN’S SUCCESS.
Eight Hundred Dollars Realized
From an Acre of Berries.
(Tiie fol owing article in the j
Constitution written by its Rome;
c >mspondent, ought to be of in
terest to the farmers of this coun- !
iv, for what has been done in Floyd
can be done here.)
Rome, Ga,, Oct. 15.—N0 county
in Georgia has made more rapid
advancement in intensive farming
than Floyd.
During tho stringency of the
times this idea has become more
prevalent than ever and its bene
ficial effects arc being felt very
sensibly this fall since the cotton
crop has been cut so short through
various causes.
Your correspondent met Mr.
Louis Troadaway in town with a
load of sweet potatoes today, and
in sp uking of the intensive plan,
he remarked:
“My strawberry crop was cut
off by the late frost last spring
and I did not get what I hopod to
in the way of returns, but from
one acre in berries I so d SBOO
worth during the season . I would
have got $1,200 had the season
been more propitious. I will have
two acres in bearing next year and
as the first and second crops al
ways yield the best returns in this
climate, I hope to sell at least $2,-
000 lo $2,400 in berries if prices
range anything like a reasonable
average.
“One of my best paying crops,
! and one that was almost like pick
ing it up, was my lettuce. I had
a bed about 100 feet long by ten
feet’wide, and from that I sold
about S2OO worth during the lat
t o' winter and early spring months.
“Besides that I sold about S2OO
worth of tomatoos otf an acre
patch, and altogether I think I
succeeded very well, clearing up
some $ 1,200 on these threo crops
alone. This does not include, of
course, my heavier crop of Irish
potatoes, cabbages, turnips, onions
and sweet potatoes, all of which
yielded very satisfactory returns.
“Then my Jerseys have done
well and I am milking thirty-threo
cows now that have averaged a
gallon and a half all tho year
round the fertilizers which my
barnyard and cow lot yield keep
the land up so that it beats the old
style of farming two in tho game,
especially since tho markets have
become easier of access to the far
mers.”
“How came you to engage in this
business?” he was asked.
“Because I busted- I struck out
on a big scale about seven ye-rs
ago, and although I worked hard
and did all I could to make a suc
cess of it, I had bitten off more
than 1 could chew, so I decided to
try it on a different scale and I
came out here, two mile 3 and a
half from town, and bought a for
ty acre lot of rocky hillside and
sour mirsh.
“I went to work on it without a
dollar, and by operating on the
intensive plan I soon had the gul
lies filled, the marsh drained and
every foot of ground as rich as a
garden. Last year I bought an
other fort} 7, acres for a grass lot
for my cows, down on the creek.
I manage it so that I have some
thing to sell all the year round.
My wagon comes to town twice a
day all the time, and by rotating
my crops I keep the land produc
ing something and constantly
growing richer every year.
“I raise my own bacon from the
, waste from ihe diary and refuse
vegetables that are not marketable,
and of course I raise all the poul
try we need. Yes, I like this lar
better than the old style of farm
ing. It was a lucky bust for me,
though it did not seem so at the
time.”
Wonderful are the cures accom
plished by Flood's Sarsaparilla
and yet it is only because Hood's
Sarsaparilla, the one true blood
purifier, makes pure, rich, healthy
blood.

He Outset the Mule.
As the road turned around the
hill I came upon a mule and a cart
and a man. The wheels of the
cart had sunk down into a mud-
I hole, and the mule stood with head
J down and ears lazily working to
and fro. As for the man, he lay
on his back in the shade of a tree
and seemtd to be taking solid com
fort.
“What’s the matter?” I asked as
he sat up and looked at me.
“Mewl has balked,” he slowly
replied.
“You mean that he has refused
to pull the cart out of the mud?”
“ ’Zactly.”
“But its a big load and a small
mule,” I urged. “Why don’t you
j give him some help?”
“Its agin my principles, I’ve
yelled at him and I’ve licked him
til I’m tired, but I’ll bedog-goned
if I take anything off that load or
boost that cart! No, sail—wo stay
right yore till the pesky critter
gits up and humps hisself and
pulls that cart out o’ the mud!”
“Then you are not in a hurry?”
I queried.
“No, sah, no hurry ’tall,” ho re
plied, as ho hitched back to get
more shade. “My son Dan is
plowin’, out co’n with the cow, the
ole woman is fixin’ up tho fences,
and I’ve a gallon of whisky and a
pound of lerbacker in the cart- Its
a question of bein’ sot, and if 1
can’t stay sot longer’n a SBO mewl
then I’d better move out of Ala
bamy.”
Five days later I met the man
at Greenvills and asked him how
the “sotness” came out.
“Oh, yes!” he replied with a
grin. “Wall, I camped right thar’
fur two days and nights, a singin’
hymns and restin’ up an’ hevin’ a
good time, and then that mewl, a
eeein’ that when it cum down to
sotness he wasn’t in it with me,
took right holt and pulled that
.cart outer the,mud and galloped
all the waj home?”—Detroit Free
Press.
“Going into a decline.” How
often do wo hear this expression
What does it moan ! It means
that people are losing flesh, grow
ing thin, wasting.
The way to correct this condition
is to improve tho digestion. The
condition arises from an inability
to eat and digest food. In fact
food does more harm than good
because it ferments and putrefies
in the stomach, developing poison
ous substances which when absorb
ed cause various disorders.
What is required is that the sto
mach be made to perform its du
ties. The Shaker Digestive Cor
dial is a food already digested and
a digester of foods as well. It will
make the stomach healthy. Get a
book from ihe druggist and read
about it.

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report
Absolutely pume
BROOMTOWN, ALA.
Mr. Editor :—Some time since i
you announced in your paper you I
feared your correspondents were
all dead, and I fully expected the j
next issue to come out draped in
mourning. Put it seems that you
were not overwhelmed with grief,
while I was disappointed. Life,
however, is made up of disappoint
ments and I have about lived this
one down. And as your other cor
respondents have all arisen, Phoe
nix like, from the ashes of their
former greatness (?) except my
myself and the Cheney Ckd maid,
who, I suppose las been and gone
and got married, I will adopt ro
surgam as my motto and come a
gain.
So much byway ot preface, I
take up my pen this morning os
tensibly for the purpose of writing
about “bikes, bloomers,” and the
“new woman.” Not but that there
has been enough said already, and
in fact a groat deal more than is
roally necessary. You can scarce
ly take up a papor nowadays, no
matter how small or insignificant
it may be, but what has to air its
wit, or want of it rather, about
the “new woman, bloomers,” etc.
This is getting monotonous, not
to say disgusting. Now are those
worthy gentlemen (?) afraid the
women will rise in insurrection as
people formerly wero of the ne
groos in slavery times? Do they
think if they do they will endeav
or to follow the Scripture, “Give
Satan his due,” which would be
pretty hard on them, as many of
them would have to stop adorning
street corners, loafering around
generally and go to work? There
are ladies all over our Sunny
land today in the shops, stores, in
the cotton fields and engaged in
doing other farm work. I say la
dies, because honest labor should
detract nothing from true woman
liness. Why are they there?
They have to live, somehow. All
cannot have “light, easy and gon
teel employment.” Fathers and
brothers are incompetent to sup
port them. They cannot sit down
in idleness. Sometimes they com
promise by marrying a second-rate
man thereby trading Satan for a
witch. Oftentimes they are great
ly discommoded in their work by
their skirts.
And yet the same fathers and
brothers who are willing for them
to do any amount of rough work,
would raise a great hue and cry
if they shou'd wish to simplify
their dress to suit their labor. I
am not advocating bloomers for
general wear, by any means, but if
women have to do work that men
ought to do, they should at least,
be allowed to dross as they please
in private life. There are not
many of them who care to wear
bloomers, unless they ars a neces
sity.
As for the “bikes,” as yet, they
are a luxury and not a necessity,
but if our wealthier sisters see fit
to adopt them as a means of exer
cise, thereby bringing health and
energy, they may prove a blessing
in disguise, even if they have to
wear a bike costume.
As to the new woman she is
about as old as Eve, methinks, and
neither puppet, plaything or an
automaton, that sits up like a
doll, but a helpmeet as the good
Lord intended her to be.
Summing it all up, it will prob
ably be some time before either
“bikes, bloomers or the new wo
man” as she is generally looked at
will become universally, and those
who hold her in such honor shall
have “Shuffled off this mortal coil”
long before that time arrives. Let
all such contain their souls in pa
tience, go to work and help sup
port, her, or else forever hereafter
hold their peace. Ju>o.
Another Called Home.
Many hearts have been saddened
; by the death of Mrs. Rebecca J.
{Groves, which occurred at the
i home of her daughter, Mrs. W. S.
Kendrick in the city of Atlanta.
She was born iu Madison county
in 1827 and was called Oct.tf, 18%.
to reap her reward with th# loved
ones who preceded her.
Hers was a most consistent
Christian life and none c&iue with
in the circle of her influence with
out being filled with the impulse
of living a nobler higher life. She
was characterized by an undeviat
ing devotion to what she believed
to be her duty, and to all with
whom she came in contact was
displayed an exemplary Christian
character.
She was the victim of a long
protractod illness, but bore her af
fliction without a murmur or com
plaint. Around her owu fireside
was the light of her graces most
brightly shod and her works and
influence will live long in the fu
ture.
For years she was an active and
efficient member of the Presbyter
ian church and her numerous char
itable deeds were performed in a
quiet, unassuming manner. Her
left hand knew not what her right
hand did.
One who forcibly certified the
power and worth of her religion
has passed away. Another lamb
has been led by the Gentle Shep

sister to richer and greener pas
