B*rrett|A Co., Augusta, Ga. 1,-ar Sira- I feel lt n ’. v dut - v to ,he P ub,lc •enerallv to publish my experience with vour K valuable preparation, H. H. I'. I was * great deal with biliousness and married in a few days and was at a loss what 0 do, as I was generally depressed. I fortu “ a - Ulv met Mr Newt Heggie on the streets of St. iVuis, When he gave me a bottle ot H. H. 1 Itacted like a charm, and in three days I was .IrtartW relieved. So pleased was I with the TO bought a dozen bottles, and for the sum of M "pent I received ten fold returns. Yours truly, Thomas G. Bbovke. The above is forcibly illustrated by the following private letter to Mr. Heggl# Lo t! i 81 March 3, 1886. Dear Newt-How I can ever thank you suflicientlv for your recommendation of H. H. p Ido not know, but rest assured I feel under many obligations. After my wife and I return ed from our bridal tour nothing would do Sally but to have her mother live with us. She came and from the first began quarreling with the cook, the butter, house girl and all, and in fact raising a row about everything. Nothing could please her. The tea was too strong or too weak. When we had pie she want ed pudding. At last patience ceased to be a virtue, and, being strongly under the impress ing she was crazy, I sent for Dr. J.--. He after a careful diagnosis ofher case, said she was suffering from biliousness and torpid liver. I then saw at last peace and happiness in view. I induced her to take H. H. P. Even the first dose made a marvelous change and after having used two bottles, “mirabli dicta, she has become the nicest old lady in the land. If 1 had not fortunately met you on the street I fear that ere this I would have been a lunatic. Mv idvice to you to, if you ever get married, and to all other young couples, is to lay in a few bottles of ft. H. P. With kind regards, I am your friend, T « M * O._ The neighbors are surprised at the great change in my mother-in-law. Tell the proprietor# of H. H. P. that when I tell them the cause they will have to enlarge their busi ness. Send me one dozen.by express. For sale by all Druggists at 50 cents a bottle. Try it once and you will be pleased.

Our Neighbors. Liwiil Lincolnton News: The Rev. H. F. Oliver preached a very excellent and eloquent sermon at. Salem on Sunday last A commentary on the first twelve verses of the Savior’s sermon on the mount. He is indeed endow ed with pulpit eloquence of the highest order and is well equipped mentally, and as we believe spiritu ally forthe great work of promulgat ing the gospel. Some of tiie young gallants who, every Sunday night escort the win some young misses to prayer meeting, have administered a piece of advice to the News for misrepresenting the ages of the young chevaliers: “I demand, imperatively demand, sir, that you correct the statement that 1 Mas only 12 years old. Sir, lam going on 13. This ih not, sir, in the nature of a request; it is a command, sir.” One of Lincolnton’s swells accom panied by a few other fellow-dudes, went out to prayer meeting last Sun day night. After services be gallantly strode up to one of our belle 9, ami in his most courteous and puissant man ner, asked leave to escort her home. The young lady (fortunately or unfor tunately) was already provided for, and so signified it by a n gative nod, which, by the dim light of the inconstant moon, our hero construed to be an affirmative answer. So he twisted up his arm in the latest agopy of an approved crook, and chivalrous ly offered it. The young lady didn’t see fit to “catch on” and so they see-sawed until her escort relieved them, when the would-be gallant, struck out for home at the velocity of cornet-cast athwart your starry dome, and with the momentum of a man who had been tickling the heels of a highly organized Georgia mule.

Foreman, who is one of the most thorough-going farmers in Wilkes county, has ten acres of suburban farm so well terraced that lie says he is satisfied that, as much as a gallon of water has not run off of it since hist October. He says that with land well terraced corn can be made with half the rain required on hind that is not, terraced. Mr. Milton R. Barrett, of this coun ty, was a soldier under Gen. Gordon during the war. One day on a long inarch Mr. Barrett was sick and scarcely able to keep up with the other troops, when the gallant Gor don discovered his condition. The General dismounted, made the tick soldier ride, while he himself walked nil the <hiy. It is no wonder that Mr. Barrett is one of the most enthusias tic supporters of Gordon in Georgia. We publish this in justice to two old soldiers, although we are not of their present persuasion. WUIIIEN Clipper: Rev T J Cumming is not only a very forcible and eloquent expounder of the gospel, but recent developements display that he is also a detective of no ordinary ability. For several weeks past there had been a painfully perceptible and unac countable disappearance of provisions from his family larder. Failing to detect any decided increase in the appetite of his family he naturally concluded that some unregistered parasite was feeding on his store, and in order to cut off connections from this source he change 1 his lock. For several days afterwards the decrease of provisions was beautifully less, but when he was about to congratulate himself on the situation the depreda tions on his larder were again inau gurated with telling force. The reverend gentleman bore his persecu tioiismaiil'iilly until Tuesday luorning, when he went into his pantry aud took a seat. The door of this nec essary ad junct, was then locked on the outside by Mrs. Cummings who n, few moments later left the house, ostensibly for the purpose of visiting n neighbor. The house was left in charge of Bettie, the cook, who imagined herself its only occupant. With this idea in her kinky head she proceeded to the pantry and insert ing a false key in the lock, opened the door and entered. A moment 1 later a form issued noiselessly from the dark recesses of the pantry and closing the door with a slam, Betty was a prisoner. The captive realized her situation with woeful vividness and made a powerful effort to secure release by e oquence and argument, but to no avail. Mr. Cummings is not the man to compromise with crime, and Betty was kept in her close quarters until the afternoon, when a warrant was sworn out against her and she was transferred to the county jail where she will have ample opportunity to contemplate the majesty of the eighth commandment.
