A long dispatch from Jackson

eity or town bred man who has all bis life
humped his back over a desk living an
unhealthy, sedentary life and failed to take
any care of his health, could not stay on
the back of one of these vicious brutes for
more than three jumps.
It takes a whole man to conquer a vicious
animal People may talk about intellectual
superiority and refinement and good breed
ing, but every man takes off his hat to
physical strength and endurance While
the man who leads a sedentary life cannot
hope, in this respect, to rival these sturdy
tMn of the plains, they can be sound, vig
orous, healthy men if they will. It is a
matter of care of health while one has it,
and the proper measures to restore it when
it is lost. Most diseases begin with some
trouble of the digestive organs or of the
liver. Troubles of this nature starve the
body, because they prevent it from receiv
ing its proper supply of nourishment Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery gives a
man an appetite like a cow-boy’s and the
digestion of an ostrich. Its great work is
upon the stomach, large intestines and liver.
These are the organs that nourish a man's
body This medicine makes them strong,
vigorous and healthy. It fills the blood
with the nourishment that builds new,
■olid and healthy flesh, muscle and nerves.
“ I am now enjoying magnificent health, after
having suffered for years with chronic catarrh.'
writes Ramon Sanchez. Esq . of Penasco. Taos

Medical Discovery ' I have recovered my health,
and am now. physically a sound man, attending
to my business and enjoying life.”
DON’T FORGET GEORGIA
Fhe election in Georgia last
week resulted in the elec ion of
the ent’re Democratic ti'ket by
the convincing majority of 63,-
000. Yet little space has been
j devoted to the matter in the
news columns of the papers, and
lit has drifted down the current
of past events with but slight
comment.
Yet it is a subject that does
deserve not to be slightly dis
missed. Georgia is a great state.
She is one of the strongest pil
lars of Democracy in the Union.
She is brimful of energy, intel
ligence, industry, morality, edu
cational progress and statesman
ship.
She has elected for governor,
Alien D. Candler, a sturdy old
Georgian who, as the Atlanta
Constitution puts it, “represents
a’l that is rugged an I honest
a "I a tr live in Georgia man
hood. ’
Not only have Mr. Candler
and the entire Democratic St te
ticket Leen elected, but all the
De nocra‘ic nominees for both
houses of the Legislature, except
1.1 or 12. Geo'-gia will supple
ment her October victory in
November by electing a solid
Democrat’c delegation to Con
gress.—St Louis Republic.
A JUDGE ON CIGARETTE
SMOKING.
There is at least one judge on
the bench who does not believe
in boys smoking cigarettes. At
St. Louis, Mo., Satu'day morn
ing Judge Peabody delivered a
lecture from the bench on cigar
etce smi tiiug, during the trial of
the case of William Bent charg
ed with disturbing the peace in
having taken a cigarette from a
boy eleven years old. Judge Pea
body said :
‘ Our generation is becoming
enervated and stunted from ex
cessive ci ’arette smoking. Boys
are not what they were in my
time. They did nut then think it
manly 1) poion themselves with
vile nicotine, sod when they
grew up they were men in every
sense of the term. Children of
tender years should be restrain
ed from doing themselves such
harm. I believe that no cigar
etes should be sold to mines.
Therefore, I think the defendant
did a good and justiflable act.
He is legally responsible, how
ever. I will fine him $5, but
will stay execution on good be
havior.”
MILITARY CAMPS IN GEOR
GIA.
The fact that the United States
government has decided to
quarter 50,000 men in Georgia is
something which should be
appreciated by every citizen of
the state.
Greater congratulations, how
ever, should be felt over the
generous recognition which the
government has made of the
state as a whole. It has gone
from Athens to Americus, from
Atlanta to Macon, from Augus
ta across to Columbus and Al
bany, taking in every section
and giving its stamp of approval
to the healthful conditions which
prevail throughout the state.
A greater advertisement than
this the state of Georgia could
not have received. It draws at
tentiun to our varied possibili
ties, and must have a result for
good. This lasting impression
which the location of so many
troops will make for Georgia,
far surpasses the temporary ad
vantages which will come from
tjhe distribution of money. These
50,000 men will have scattered
back to their homes in all parts
of the union, and without ex
ception they will tell the story
