H was educated in the common ashools of Georgia, and was admit ted to the bar in Americus, Ga-., in 1860, after bis return fr -m a gel lant service in the Confederate army. His first law practice was in El laville, Schley county,where he re mained for several years, se viiur a solicitor-general in 1872- 73. L 1873 he moved to Americus, end in 877 was appt inted Judge of the superior court, be.ng eh'/ ted to congress in 1882, :<■ 3, r.-G.'-ted for everv succeeding Term. Afo-r tor protracted fr,.d exci ing con tests. he was elected speaker of the house in 1891. A PROMINENT STATESMAN Judge Crisp first became a pro minent fig"re in national po'i'ics -hen c* airman of committe i eleciions, when on the floor of the hcuse h« championed 'he use of the Democrats against the spotic rulings o f Speaker Reed, was then he was recognized as e Democratic leader in the house representatives and that he made ; name and refutation which p seed him as the Democratic speaker when the house was com posed of a majority of that party. Early in the free silver move ment Im declan d himself on that side < f the financial question, and when the campaign opened last yedr between the opposing wings of the Democratic party he came to g orgia-and made many speech es advocating the cause of free silver. INDORSED FOR SENATE In the memorable primary ele _ tiona last. June he received an al most unanimous endorsement of the Demociate of Georgia for the to succeed Gen, John B Gb’nioii. His election by the legis lator*, which convenes next week, was assured. ’> hus on the very threshold <>' a recognition of his service- Io lie state he w is st icken down. Judge Crisp was a self-m'nli man. Os humble paren'ate, I'* achieved all his successss by p - sonal efforts, and won a name in the history of his country by ener oy and perserverance. • Both Ins fattier and mother were of th- theitrical profession, 'hey lived it one lime in Georgia and it wa.-i while on a trip to Europe that Judge Cr'sp was born.

It does not taste like a medi cine. It is as pleasant to take as einonade and makes a most refreshing drink. 2. It never nauseates the most delicate stomach. 3. It does not swap off one dis ease for another. It doesnot set up one form of disease in order to relieve another as is so often the case. 4. It contains no alcohol or opium in any form and is always harmless even when given to a babe one dav old. 5. It does not patch simply, it cures. It reaches as nothing else does to the hidden sources of disease in the blood and removes the cause. It does this with an ease and power that have never been equaled. For all troubles of the Blood, Stomach, bo.. ’ls, Kidnevs and Nerves, and for all forms cf MALARIAI POISON it stands pre-eminent— without a rival or a peer. tide neAr pac<a«?*« oo* ae. 308 Oo*e«.
